Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1178: Xufu’s Plan

“Not in the underground palace?”

Xufu was shocked and then he relaxed. So, this was how the Dragon Swallowing Situation appeared. The person in front of him was the true Son of Heaven.

Although Zong Shou obtained a portion of the true spirit, he got a part of it and couldn’t threaten him.

He smiled, “So, that is the case! I misunderstood. However, from what I see Your Majesty has just gotten out? To cross hundreds of worlds in two days, do you have an anxious matter?”

Not only Xufu, even Zhongxuan and the few disciples behind him were curious.

Zong Shou didn’t bother that there were so many gazes looking at him, “I want to kill Li Birdie, so I need your help. I wanted to ask if you are willing to help me?”

Xufu was stunned when he heard this and didn’t know what to say. Zhongyuan’s body shook, and apart from disbelief, his eyes were filled with anxiousness.

“Your Majesty’s words have really surprised me! Please forgive me for being alarmed!”

Xufu took a while to recover. His expression was really complicated.

A month ago, he predicted that Yinyu and Great Shang didn’t have long to live. He didn’t expect that in the end it would have something to do with him.

“However, His Majesty is going to be disappointed. You also know that not only does he have the twelve copper men, but he can also use the true spirit to restrict me. I am heading away because I am filled with despair and because I want to avoid disaster...”

Zong Shou didn’t allow him to finish before waving his sleeves and interrupting, “You know the situation with the twelve Copper Men. As for the soul restriction, as long as it isn’t the true spirit it is useless to you. Don’t try to avoid this!”

Xufu stopped, the people behind him were all lost.

They felt that Xufu’s aura was totally suppressed today.

The Great Gan Emperor was really barbaric and overbearing.

His face flushed red and white and moments later did he speak once more. This time he laughed coldly, “Although that is the case, then why do I have to help you?”

Zong Shou took a close look to Xufu and then shook his head, “Your lifespan is close to its end and you will turn to dust in 10,000 years!”

Xufu’s expression didn’t change. Anyone could tell what he was thinking about.

Zong Shou asked, “Xufu do you know about Aokun?”

“Aokun? Existence and Destruction Technique? His name is like thunder to the ears...”

Xufu laughed and said expressionless, “Does Your Majesty want to say that his Destruction Technique can help me remove my restriction? If Aokun was an End Realm, he might be able to. However, you should know that the Dao that is closest to the source is the hardest to improve. He used the Dragon Swallowing Technique to quickly form his Dao, so he lacked a bit. To enter End Realm would be really difficult. I can’t live till then...”

He then noticed that Zong Shou wasn’t preparing to reply to him at all.

A pair of silver white wings spread out, breaking through the void on both sides.

Zong Shou looked over coldly, like he was looking down on everyone.

“Then, if he has these wings, what do you think?”

Xufu’s voice stopped, his eyes shrunk to pins and he looked over in shock.

“This is Xuan Increasing Law Containing Wings?”

He didn’t know the name of it but he could discern the Increasing and Containing words in the white glow.

He instantly recognized the use of the item.

It could buff all items and spells.

Xufu’s eyelids twitched and he understood what Zong Shou was getting at. A bit of hope rose up in his eyes.

“Overlord appears! So, that is the case...”

He muttered several times. Zhongyuan’s face was ashen white and knew that Xufu was tempted.

He didn’t know what to do or how to stop him. Removing the restriction was Xufu’s 10,000-year wish and also the last obstacle in his life.

Not to mention he didn’t have enough strength, but even if he did, how was he to do anything?

Yinyu was his Ruler and he was loyal.

He didn’t know what to say and said coldly, “Based on what I know, you have only a million troops in the Central Cloud Continent. With this number, do you plan on sweeping the world? If Yinyu dies, the world will be in chaos. There will be many deaths. Has Your Majesty thought about it?”

Zong Shou looked coldly over before disregarding him.

“What does Mr Xufu think?”

He didn’t want anyone to be in danger because of himself. However, if he had to choose between Great Gan and another country, then he would definitely choose the former.

As long as Great Gan was safe, then so what if the world was in chaos? Why would he care?

The trip to the Imperial City wasn’t just for Jin Bubui. He was prepared to totally clear out this problem.

A huge problem had to be removed!

Xufu didn’t think for long and asked, “If Li Biexue dies can Aokun remove the restriction for me?”

“No!”

Zong Shou shook his head without bothering to hide anything, “Brother Aokun injured his foundations because of the Common People’s Path battle and had delayed much cultivation time. So, even if I am his brother how will I have the face to ask him about it? We might have to wait 100 years before talking about this. In just a few steps, he would live forever. Does Mr. Xufu think that with just one thing you can get that?”

At this moment, he wasn’t the kid who was so weak a few days ago, who even with his good hand had no way to demand anything in front of an End Realm expert.

Today, their positions had swapped around. No matter what, Xufu had to agree and he didn’t have any other choice.

Xufu was a decisive person and just thinking about it he knew that unless he gave up on living forever, otherwise, he would only be played by this person.

He felt slightly enraged to be controlled by a kid who was thousands of times younger than him. Such a feeling really wasn’t good.

He laughed bitterly before calming himself down. He looked towards Zhongxuan with an apologetic look.

“Then, let’s set a limit of 100 years! I won’t attack Yinyu.”

These were the conditions that he had set. For the 100 years, he would serve Great Gan.

As for Yinyu, it was to calm down his disciple. Actually even without him, Yinyu’s destiny was already set.

Seeing Zong Shou keep silent, it was like he didn’t fully trust him. Xufu calmed down slightly and smiled once more, “However, if you want to kill an End Realm Saint Venerable, there is still a huge loophole! If you don’t solve that, then your plan would definitely fail.”

Zong Shou was stunned and he retracted his thoughts, listening carefully.

“End Realm’s soul is rested on the Dao and is connected to Heaven and Earth. He is able to predict the past, present and future. Although he isn’t as effective as those divinators, he’s able to predict things that happen to himself. Normal cultivators have a sixth sense and End Realm cultivators take it one step further and are able to see Life and Death, sensing killing intent. This is why End Realm Saint Venerables are so tough to kill, not because of their cultivation but because they are able to predict and avoid before they faced danger.”

Zong Shou was filled with doubt now. Then what about Xi Zi’s death, as well as Xingya and Kunming?

Xufu continued, “Xi Zi knew he was in danger but he still faced it head-on. As for Xingya and Kunming, one of them just entered End Realm for less than a year. Although the others had some cultivation, he was selfish and insane. The Common People’s Vast Habitat battle involved dozen End Realm experts, due to Cause and Effect entangling, being unable to sense it is normal. The two of them can’t be discussed in the same vein as Li Biexue.

When they said this, Xufu waved his fan and his lips curled up.

“However, I do have a way to counter it! But you must remember that to prevent accidents, we should settle this battle quickly...”

Zong Shou’s eyes squinted. He chased this person so as to have a bit more confidence for the battle.

Who knew that he would get such gains from Xufu?

End it quickly? He wanted to do so too.

※※※※

“Trap and kill Li Biexue?”

Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat, within Sword Palace. Lingchen held a message talisman and his face was filled with shock.

After a few moments, he noticed the few people in front of him were looking over with a questioning gaze. He recovered and said, “Common People Path sent a message to say that four days later Zong Shou will personally head to the Imperial City to take Yinyu’s head and kill Li Biexue.”

As expected, the people present all had the same reactions that Lingchen had before.

“Personally head over? Is he asking to die?”

They all thought to themselves that Zong Shou had gone crazy due to the death of his friend.

In the Imperial City, to take Yinyu’s head. Not to mention how both Taoist and Confucian Faction won’t sit aside and do nothing, they were definitely happy they would do something so dumb.

Even the twelve Copper Men and Li Biexue himself can kill them.

“This is preposterous!”

The person who spoke sat on the left of Lingchen. He was a fat old man who looked really kind. However, if one was a little good at cultivation, one could see that an extremely sharp sword intent covered him.

His surname was Jian and his name was Tongming. He was the strongest of the six Saint Realm experts under the sect head.

“Although we are allies with Great Gan, we definitely won’t do something so stupid with him!”

“However, since Zong Shou is mad, Common People’s Path shouldn’t follow him. There must be a reason...”

Si Kongfou was in deep thought, “We don’t have to reject it right away and let them explain. Or maybe Xiuguan has already returned?”

“Xiuguan?”

Jian Tongming’s face relaxed, “During these two days, there has been news of his return. Who knows where that news came from..”

If they had Xiuguan who was close to half step True Realm, although this was dangerous but it was doable.

However, was that possible?
