He felt he was being honest, and he had two choices.
One was to endure and let things calm down.
The other was about things he could no longer tolerate.
A martial contest under the watchful eyes of the public...
He clenched his fist, contemplating what to do.
Chen Yuyun was currently in seclusion. The great ritual contest was coming, and a few days after it, there would be an opportunity to flee with the Qilin. Li Guanyi had to seize the Qi Fortune represented by the Jade Pendant in the contest and restore the bronze tripod to its whole state.
As well as restore his own Qi Fortune.
Li Guanyi collected his thoughts and went through the archives again, seeking signs of the twenty-four generals within them. These pieces of information were quite fragmented, hidden within descriptions of various events, and he had to painstakingly extract them bit by bit.
Not like the biographies written by the Historians.
Li Guanyi read for a long time until it was time to leave. He then replaced the archives to their original spot, changed his clothes and armor, and as he was coming out, he heard a gentle call, "Mr. Li."
Li Guanyi paused his steps and turned to see a man dressed in deep teal official robes.
He smiled at Li Guanyi, already bowing from a distance, saying, "We meet again, Mr. Li. How have you been? I’ve brought the Imperial Physician with me."
Li Guanyi examined this top ten assassin.
He extended his hand, the Imperial Physician looked surprised but then relieved, saying, "Congratulations, sir. Your Inner Qi is robust, and both your lungs and pulse are strong. The Red Dragon Energy has already disappeared."
Si Qing moved forward with a smile, his palm pressed against Li Guanyi, saying, "Let me examine you, sir."
A surging Inner Qi flowed into Li Guanyi’s body.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, Si Qing was running out of patience, and on the third input, the Inner Qi was tremendously powerful. The second layer of "Six Void Four Union Divine Skill" inside Li Guanyi activated naturally. Both men suddenly stood there quietly, and at that moment, Ye Buyi’s voice came from the side:
Si Qing withdrew his hand, bowing deeply with a warm smile on his face, saying:
"Congratulations, sir. Indeed, your Inner Qi has been restored."
"The Red Dragon Energy has disappeared so suddenly, which is quite astonishing. Although Yue Qianfeng was just a common bandit by origin, he had the chance to meet an Uncle of the imperial family of Central State and received teachings. This Red Dragon Energy comes from ’Red Dragon Suppressing Nine Provinces,’ and you have removed it so quickly."
"I don’t understand, sir. I’ve thought about it for a long time but still can’t figure it out."
He wanted to say that Li Guanyi and Yue Qianfeng were in cahoots.
Li Guanyi looked at him and responded directly, "Because I am a genius."
Si Qing, who had prepared various strategies for confrontation, was dumbfounded.
The young man slightly lifted his chin.
Channeling Yan Daiqing’s demeanor, Li Guanyi wore a haughty expression and lightly said:
"It’s quite normal for you not to understand."
Si Qing opened his mouth as if hearing the officials around him laughing, his heart skipped a beat.
He almost laughed out loud, being a top ten assassin, of course, was also a peerless genius.
He wore a warm smile and said, "I see. Well then, sir, please take good care of yourself. The power struggles in the Capital City are too complicated now, it’s better to be cautious."
"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Si Qing. You too."
The two men looked at each other and departed. Li Guanyi exhaled and decided to discuss this matter with Elder Xue, as well as with Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying. Upon leaving the palace, they returned to the Xue Family, but Li Guanyi found someone waiting for him; Breaking Army was there with that chariot.
The young man lifted the carriage flap and smiled, saying:
"Lord, you told me to personally deliver the Battle Halberd."
"Having seen your strategies and spirit, I concede defeat; the Battle Halberd is here."
Li Guanyi let out a slight breath, extending his hand and grasping the halberd.
Since the second Multi-story, he hadn’t touched this Divine Weapon. After the bronze tripod had tasted the Dharma Form essence hidden within the Divine Weapon formerly possessed by General Xue, Elder Xue’s White Tiger Dharma Form could no longer elicit a Jade Liquid reaction from the bronze tripod.
What kind of Absolute Skill would it be after Wave-Rolling?
Li Guanyi pondered eagerly.
At that moment the Divine Weapon truly resonated.
The legacy essence of General Xue appeared.
Everything was still normal up to this point, but just then, the Red Emperor’s Red Dragon Power suddenly surged within Li Guanyi’s body, this stream of Red Dragon Qi Mechanism rapidly circulating within him, poised to explode with limitless Divine Charm, as Dragon Roar ascended.
Another Qi Mechanism of equal level, seemingly provoked by the Red Dragon Power, burst out from the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd.
Instantly overpowering the legacy thoughts of General Xue.
An indomitable, wild Divine Charm emerged.
The Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd buzzed madly, its sound like the roaring of a fierce tiger.
From eight hundred years ago!
The Overlord of the world!
