Chapter 486: Two-Sided Plans
Translator: 549690339
The person Li Gucheng wanted Wu Tong to kill was himself.
When Chen Luoyang heard this, he combined it with the life experiences that the white jade bottle had provided him and had a rough idea.
Judging from Li Guchengâs appearance, he didnât want to ambush and kill â Wutong â
At most, he could see who Wu Tongâs true identity was.
However, that was just a side effect.
Young Li Wangyeâs real purpose was probably to alert the enemy and see the reaction of the Demonic Buddhaâs successor of the West Qin Empire and the Misery Sea.
According to his life experience, while he was investigating his father, Li Ce, and Leng Ji, he was also investigating the colluders of the Misery Sea within the Western Qin Empire.
Li Gucheng was probably not shooting without thinking. He had vaguely sensed something.
When Chen Luoyang saw this message, he was slightly surprised. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable.
Misery was west of the Western Qin Empire and had always wanted to spread its teachings to the east.
However, not only did Western Qin have a mortal enemy. the sacred ground of the Buddhist Sect, the Western Paradise, even the royal family was filled with wariness and rejection towards the Bitter Sea.
Although the relationship between the Western Qin Empire and the western paradise wasnât harmonious, it was rare for them to have a common understanding of the Bitter Sea Devil Buddhaâs successor.
Therefore, Misery could only stay at the border and secretly infiltrate the east. It could not really set foot in the territory of the Western Qin Dynasty.
Misery might have kept a low profile for a period of time, but they had been ambitious for many years.
Secretly bribing and absorbing people from West Qin was also within his expectations.
Before this, with the West Qin Emperor Li Ce and Reverend Puhui of the western paradise, the Bitter Sea could only develop in the dark and lay low.
But now, Li Ceâs whereabouts were unknown, and Abbot Puhui was also seriously injured. The Misery Seaâs lineage finally had the opportunity to show their strength and officially set foot in the territory of the Western Qin Imperial Dynasty.
The spies that were previously hidden in the West Qin Empire must have started to stir and become active.
Li Gucheng found some clues, but it seemed that he did not know who Miseryâs spy was.
It seemed like he wanted to alert the enemy and test the reactions of all parties.
Although Young Li Wangye had his own trusted aides, there was still the possibility of his intentions being exposed when he gathered people in West
Qin.
The treehouse was too hidden.
Of course, Young Li Wangye did not want to lose his life.
Compared to Wei Ling, who was a Martial Saint, Wu Tong, who was a Martial Emperor, was undoubtedly more suitable.
What he needed was an assassination, not a real death.
It was similar to how Chen Luoyang had sent Ning Jiuwei of the Ancient Gods
Clan to assassinate the eldest son of the South Chu Emperor, Cheng Longyuan.
Li Gucheng was currently not in the West Qin Imperial Capital, Zhengyang City, so it was undoubtedly much easier to assassinate him. However, he had a large number of West Qin experts accompanying him. It was almost impossible for a Martial Emperor to assassinate him.
Chen Luoyang guessed in his heart and roughly grasped Li Guchengâs thoughts.
Now that Western Qin was in a precarious situation, and Young Prince Li himself had the possibility of improving his cultivation, his thoughts naturally became lively.
He might not have any thoughts of challenging his big brother, Li Yuanbang, but at least he was no longer willing to be just a Prince of Peace.
It wasnât necessarily because of his wild ambitions, but mainly because the West Qin Imperial Family was in a critical situation.
If he couldnât get through this crisis, as a prince, he might not even be able to be a Prince of Peace.
âLi GuchengâŠUh, forgive my ignorance, but this person seems to be very low-key in the West Qin Imperial Family. Iâve only heard of his name.â Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as âWutong,â pretended to say, ââls he a vassal in a foreign land, or is he in the West Qin Imperial Capital, Zhengyang?â
Li Gucheng was not offended by this.
Before this, he was indeed not famous in the outside world. He was completely covered by the light of his royal brothers like Li Yuanbang.
In this world, it was fine if it was the common folk, but in situations like Western Qin, Southern Chu, and Eastern Zhou, princes who were born weak and could not practice martial arts were destined to not inherit the throne.
No matter how wise and mighty he was, it was useless. At most, he could only assist the emperor.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to withstand an assassination.
Even if there were strong people protecting you, if the difference in cultivation was too great, you would die the moment the assassin looked at you. Even if you had layers of defense, you would not be able to hold on.
Therefore, even though Prince Li Jr. was known as a child with many treasures, no one, whether inside or outside of Western Qin, placed him in the ranks of competitors for the throne, so he was naturally easily ignored.
And now, because of the Fu Ning Pill, Young Li Wangyeâs martial arts cultivation had improved. However, it was only a recent incident, so it was not surprising that his reputation was still unknown.
He introduced himself in a serious manner, but it was as if he was talking about another person.âltâs normal that you havenât heard of Li Gucheng. Heâs the youngest son of the Great Emperor of Western Qin. Previously, due to his congenital deficiency, it was difficult for him to practice martial arts, so he was only an idle prince.
However, he had recently made up for his own shortcomings and regained the potential to practice martial arts. In addition, the Western Qin Empire had undergone a great change and was in urgent need of manpower, so he was put in an important position.
Currently, he is not in the West Qin Imperial Capital, Zhengyang City, but because of an errand, he is at the northern border of West Qin.â After a while, Young Li Wangye would naturally head to the Yong Yue mountain range.
However, he would give this â Wutong â in front of him time to react.
After hearing Li Guchengâs words, â Wutong â relaxed a little.â Itâs good that heâs not in Zhengyang City. I can give it a try, but you have to give me a confirmation. Is there a Martial Saint accompanying him? â
âAs far as I know, there is.â â But weâre just traveling together, â Li Gucheng said frankly. â We wonât always protect him. As long as youâre patient and careful, you might have a chance to make a move.
â Wutong â seemed to hesitate.
â You donât have to kill him, â said Li Gucheng. â As long as you can injure him, you can complete the deal. I can give you the Fruit of King Ren now. â
Upon hearing this,âWu Tongâ was finally tempted, but she still said, ââlf there is a Martial Saint following him, then forgive me for not accompanying him. I do desire the Immortal Fruit of the Benevolent King, but I have no intention of trading it for it.
But I promise you, as long as there is no Martial Saint protecting Li Gucheng, I will definitely take action.
If you donât have the chance to make a move, Iâll try to compensate you with something else the next time we meet at the treehouse.
I always hope to establish a long-term cooperation with you. I will do my best for this matter.â
âDeal.â Li Gucheng readily handed the King of Benevolence Immortal Fruit to the âWutongâ in front of him.
The two of them said goodbye and disappeared.
Wei Ling saw their actions.
It was just that there was a sudden light enveloping them, so he couldnât clearly see what the two of them were exchanging, nor could he hear the content of their conversation.
However, â Wu Tong â had said before that apart from completing Mr. Zunâs mission in exchange for rewards, they could also trade with each other. Mr. Zun could help to be a notary and provide protection.
This must be a similar transaction.
Wei Lingâs expression remained calm, but he was thinking whether he could get what he wanted from it.
Wei Ling was naturally in a bad mood after being suddenly brought here and manipulated by someone.
However, these emotional changes were suppressed in the bottom of his heart and he did not show them.
However, no matter what, today was a worthwhile trip for him. He had obtained an important piece of information.
The whereabouts of the Heaven Dome Stone that he had been thinking about all this time had been revealed.
Wei Ling pondered. Could it be that he had only provided information about the Human Emperorâs decree, so Mr. Zun had also given him information?
If he provided something practical, then would the reward from the respected gentleman also be a real treasure?
Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to find or even obtain something related to the Human Emperor.
With Wei Lingâs cultivation and strength, this was also a matter that required luck.
At this moment, he put away his chaotic thoughts. As he pondered over the problems related to Chen Luoyang and the Heaven Dome Stone, he walked out of the hall and left the treehouse.
Atter Ji Zhong, Li Gucheng, and Wei San disappeared, Mister Zunâs figure appeared once again in the hall.
The radiance dissipated, revealing Chen Luoyangâs true appearance.
He looked at the empty hall with some amusement.
Bie Donglai was currently in the Dark Grotto-heaven, so it was naturally not appropriate to casually drag him over.
It wasnât that he couldnât do it, but that it would damage the dignity of the Demon Lord.
Furthermore, without Han Yanâs whereabouts as bait, he would need a new idea if he wanted that madman to take the bait again.
Coincidentally, Li Gucheng, Ji Zhong, and even Wei Ling could not directly come into contact with the Demon Venerable at the moment. Naturally, they could not report the existence of Mr. Venerable to the Demon Venerable to gain the Demon Venerableâs favor.
Bie Donglai, who was able to come into contact with the Demon Lord and had an unusual way of thinking, had the hope of finding out Han Yanâs whereabouts from the Demon Lord. Therefore, he had forgotten about Mr. Zun and the treehouse and had no intention of mentioning it to the Demon Lord.
For the time being, he could put Bie Donglai aside.
Han Yan had a complicated impression of him.
The couple seemed to be reunited, but there might still be room for manipulation. There was no need to rush.
On the other hand, Ji Zhong seemed to be the most important person in Xian Tian Palaceâs upcoming battle.
The secrets on this person were not small.
As for Xian Tian Palace, he needed to pay close attention to them.
Chen Luoyang smiled slightly as his mind separated from the Divine Tree of Life Creation and the Azure Wood Edict Talisman and returned to the mortal world.
He sat in the main hall of the Ancient Gods Clanâs headquarters, the Devil God Palace. He opened his palm and the two treasures, the King of Benevolenceâs Immortal Fruit and the Bodhi Withered, were already in his hands.
He believed that it wouldnât be long before that Wei Ling would come knocking on his door.
Through the white jade bottle, Chen Luoyang had inquired about this personâs life experiences. The other party had a treasure that piqued Chen Luoyangâs interest.
As for Li Gucheng, it wasnât difficult.
As for Leng Ji, Chen Luoyang thought about it for a moment and gradually had some new ideas.
He diverted some of his attention to the black mirror in his chest.
Through the black mirrorâs â left eye, â the starry sky reappeared in front of
Chen Luoyang.
Looking at the stars in the sky, he first touched one of them.
The star that symbolized Yan Mingkong.
Previously, in order to restrict Blood River Patriarch and prevent Yan Mingkong from falling into his hands, Chen Luoyang had captured Yan Mingkong.
After that, he hid it in the dark grotto-heaven.
However, unlike Bie Donglai and Ying Qingqing, Yan Mingkongâs movements were restricted to a limited space, and he was cut off from all contact with the outside world.
Yan Mingkong also found it hard to know where he was.
At this moment, Chen Luoyang had brought her back to this dark starry sky..
