“Besides, now that I’m carrying the anger of the heavens for helping Zhao Huangting, whoever obtains the Heart Sword will not gain longevity but a death warrant.”
Li You’an nodded slightly. After cupping his fists at Attained Suzhu, he took a step forward. The wind and rain suddenly stopped and he arrived at the foot of the mountain.
On the foot of the mountain, Zhao Huangting and An Le, who had climbed up, sat on the wet limestone path covered in rain and peach blossoms.
“I wonder what Old Imperial Uncle plans to do next?”
Li You’an stood in front of the two of them and thought for a moment before sitting on the stone path.
The rain pattered down, but it was blocked by Li You’an’s aura, as if there was an invisible umbrella covering the raindrops.
An Le clearly did not bring any wine out of Lin’an Prefecture.
Zhao Huangting smacked his lips regretfully and said, “What plans can I have?
I’ll naturally cross the Blue Wave River and head north to Yuan Meng Capital.”
An Le turned around. He still remembered that Senior Zhao had said that he wanted to bring him to see the show.
Li You’an smiled. “Going straight?”
Zhao Huangting stretched. After suppressing the Nirvana Fire, his cultivation level did not appear visibly. He looked like an ordinary old man.
“What do you think?” Zhao Huangting rolled his eyes and said, “This trip to
Yuan Meng Capital is a total of 8,000 kilometers. After crossing the Blue Wave River, it will be Yuan Meng’s territory. I might be surrounded and beaten to death by Yuan Meng’s experts before I reach Yuan Meng Capital.”
“Once I leave Lin’an, I’ll be in the martial world… That disappointing fellow from the Heavenly Profound Palace probably won’t care about my identity as an imperial uncle anymore and will hire experts to kill An Le at all costs. Of course, I still have some face. Some people might be happy to see me go north and test the power of the Yuan Emperor, who hasn’t made a move for hundreds of years. However, some people who have a huge grudge won’t be as straightforward as me.”
Li You’an narrowed his eyes. “Do you need me to escort you?”
Zhao Huangting shook his head. “There’s no need for that. There’s no need to escort me. You were invited back by Hua Jiebing this time. After leaving the upper reaches of the Blue Wave River for so many days, the father and son who have been demonized in West Liang will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. They will definitely make a move.”
“The father and son of West Liang are definitely not good people. You have to watch them closely. It’s not for Great Zhao but for the citizens of the cities that West Liang can affect…”
“Once the West Liang father and son break through the defense, they will definitely slaughter the city. At that time, blood will flow like a river.” “Then I, Zhao Huangting, will become a sinner.”
When Li You’an heard this, his gaze focused. “Before I returned to Lin’an, I fought with the Crown Prince of West Liang, Gu Chenglin. That battle hurt his demonic heart. He shouldn’t cause trouble for the time being.”
“The situation in West Liang is more complicated. Yuan Meng’s army has already rushed to West Liang and is eyeing them covetously. The Gu father and son don’t dare to cross the river at this time.” Li You’an said.
His eyes sparkled. “And you probably won’t go north immediately. You plan to bring An Le to the Shu Sword Pool Palace first and try to enlighten Green
Mountain again.”
Zhao Huangting scratched his head and smiled. “I really can’t hide it from you. I have two regrets in my life. One is that I didn’t have a good battle with the number one Yuan Emperor in the world. The second is that I didn’t give Green
Mountain an edge.”
“This is the fifth time I’ll be going to the Shu Sword Pool Palace. I can’t help
Green Mountain anymore… I’ve accepted my fate.”
“Besides, I’ll bring An Le along this time. With this kid’s affinity with swords, he might succeed.”
Zhao Huangting patted An Le’s shoulder and said with a smile.
“Then I’ll escort you for a while. I’ll leave when we reach Shu. Coincidentally, I have something to say to An Le these few days.” Li You’an said.
Zhao Huangting narrowed his eyes. “What do you want to say?”
The two of them spoke one after another. An Le was sandwiched in the middle and felt very uncomfortable. He couldn’t move or not move.
Especially at this moment, Zhao Huangting narrowed his eyes and an oppressive aura immediately spread.
Li You’an was dressed in a Confucian robe and sat on the limestone, but his back was straight. Facing Zhao Huangting’s narrowed eyes, he said indifferently, “Do you know that An Le has the wisp of the Sacred Teacher’s Future Sword Qi?”
“Looking at the future from the precipice, I saw a spark that would set a prairie on fire.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dusky black clouds covered in spring rain seemed to have let out a thunderous explosion. Lightning suddenly flashed behind the clouds, illuminating the mortal world!
Zhao Huangting’s narrowed eyes suddenly widened.
“You’ve changed, Li You’an. You’ve changed.” Zhao Huangting exhaled and said slowly.
His widened eyes returned to their original state bit by bit, and he was a little disinterested.
“Forget it. I’m not going to bother with these lousy things. I don’t care either.”
“However, if it’s really as you said, we have to go to Sword Pool Palace even more. If we don’t use our swords, we won’t have any chance of fighting Emperor Yuan meng.”
The old man sighed endlessly.
Li You’an reached out and held a droplet of rain. The droplet floated in his palm, shining with a dazzling light like a mirror.
“But it’s still early now. We need more people. Important people can see through the sword qi and believe this spark can start a prairie fire. The current Emperor Zhao can’t unite the people. If he doesn’t have the ability, it’s very difficult to succeed.’
Li You’an questioned softly.
An Le listened to their ambiguous words and was confused. He seemed to understand, but he didn’t. He couldn’t be bothered to interfere in their conversation.
He cast his gaze on Attained Suzhu, who was talking to Hua Jiebing on the field.
With a thought, he began to absorb the Age Qi from Attained Suzhu..
