The Unruly Immortals

At the moment Li Sui held Li Huowang, his body directly turned intangible, passing through the Xuan Pin Taoist Robe and appearing in front of Huangfu Tiangang.

For a moment, everyone in the room became tense, but this time, Li Huowang did not make a move; he just stood there, less than three inches away, watching him.

Although Huangfu Tiangang was blind, he could clearly feel Li Huowang's murderous intent. His beard quivered slightly as he said with neither arrogance nor servility, "Li Huowang, think it through carefully. Which is more important, the White Lotus Sect or the people of Da Qi and Da Liang?"

"Da Qi might just lose a few people to starvation, and you can't accept it. But if we start a fight, regardless of winning or losing, at least half of the people will die. Can you accept that?"

The murderous intent on Li Huowang vanished instantly. He looked at Huangfu Tiangang in front of him and said word by word, "Use your brain and think carefully. Do they want the White Lotus Sect? They want Wu Sheng Laomu dead!"

"And don't forget that they took away Wu Sheng Laomu's Heavenly Dao at the beginning! Do you remember what it was like when death disappeared? Do you want to experience it again?"

"If they really took away Wu Sheng Laomu's Heavenly Dao, then not only death would disappear, but also compassion!"

Thinking about what a world without death and compassion would be like made Gao Zhijian shudder in fear.

"Compared to half dying, the disappearance of the Death Dao and the Compassion Dao for a while is worth it." The State Preceptor still didn't want to give up.

"Now how many followers does the White Lotus Sect have? Send them all? How is that different from half dying? You're putting your life in someone else's hands and hoping they'll spare you?"

"Enough." With Gao Zhijian's decisive decision, the heavy atmosphere instantly dissipated.

"Send this message to Huo Shu, Siqi, Qingqiu, Nanping, and Anxi. Tell their Emperors and the Astrological Bureau to prepare for a life-and-death battle."

"If it's a blessing, it's not a curse; if it's a curse, you can't escape it. Since others want our lifeline, it's useless to say anything else."

"Gao Zhijian, to be honest, these people are of little use. If you really want to help, I need Dragon Qi even more." If there was a slight chance of winning, it was himself going to the White Jade Capital, starting from the perspective of Fate Commander.

When Gao Zhijian heard this from Li Huowang, he hesitated for a while before speaking again, "Alright, I'll have a discussion with the other Dragon Veins, and once they reply, I'll give you an answer."

"Please hurry, if it can save a few more lives." Li Huowang didn't want to guess if Gao Zhijian was genuinely discussing or merely brushing him off, so he directly turned and left the Heavenly Prison.

Leaving that oppressive underground prison, Li Huowang finally felt he could catch his breath a little.

Podaer indeed knew a lot, learning many things about Tianchen Country from him, but the more he knew, the less likely victory seemed.

"Fifteen." A familiar voice rang out from behind Li Huowang.

Li Huowang turned his head towards the Xuan Pin behind him and saw her entangling the vase with Podaer inside with her tentacles. "What?"

"A day in Tianchen has fifteen hours."

The information he once longed to know did not stir even a ripple in Li Huowang's heart at that moment. "Oh, I see. If I win the fight, Da Qi will have its hours sorted too. By the way, is Tianchen's Dragon Vein alive?"

"It is, but Podaer never came into contact with it. He only knows that the Golden Dragon is the Dragon Vein, Zuo Qiuyong's steed."

"Ha, using fifteen hours as a steed, now that's impressive."

"Father, what do you plan to do next?"

"What else can I do? In their eyes, Da Qi is full of holes; they come and go as they please. Since we can't defend, we can only attack in the hope of delaying them as much as possible."

"When you have time, help me persuade other Emperors, not to be so stingy. If it really comes to a critical moment, I won't be as reasonable as I am now."

"Father, don't you think something's off?"

"Hmm? In what aspect?" Li Huowang went through everything from the start and found nothing wrong.

"It's too fast, the timing doesn't match. According to Podaer's memory, they started preparing just after Wu Sheng Laomu returned to her place." Xuan Pin examined Podaer's head closely in front of her.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. They might have a way to monitor Wu Sheng Laomu all the time."

Xuan Pin shook her head, seven or eight tentacles drilled out from her red robe to drag that person's head inside. "Wu Sheng Laomu definitely would have been on guard. It's impossible for her to do nothing. She owns the Death Dao now, and if she wanted to play dead, others wouldn't be able to find out, and indeed she did just that."

"Even if Tianchen Country over there has immense Divine Skills and can see through Wu Sheng Laomu's means, it's impossible to discover things so quickly across two worlds."

Li Huowang seriously thought about it and found it indeed made sense. Previously, his attention was entirely on the powerful strength of Tianchen Country and didn't notice this point. "So, you mean we have traitors passing information to them from our side?"

Thinking of this, Li Huowang's pupils suddenly contracted, "Is it Touzi?!"

"It's not him, he's currently genuinely helping you."

Li Huowang pondered seriously. "True, such tricks aren't fun at all, not the Oblivion Path's style."

"Father, I don't think it's an insider. I think someone else in Tianchen is giving them information." At this point, Xuan Pin paused slightly. "Since they want Tianchen Country and over here to fight each other to death, it's definitely beneficial to them."

"Someone else? Besides Da Qi and Da Liang, are there other people? Could it be someone from another timeline in history?" Hearing that from Li Sui, the situation became increasingly puzzling.

"I'll remember this point, and when I return, if I capture a new tongue from Tianchen Country, I'll interrogate to clarify." Li Huowang said, drawing out his Spinal Bone Sword to prepare to return to Da Qi.

But just as the rift reopened, a streak of red from inside made Li Huowang feel something was off. "What's going on!"

Li Huowang's body flickered, and he immediately entered the rift, shocked by the carnage before his eyes.

The newly established Youdu had been completely overrun, with the red of flames and the red of blood everywhere.

Li Huowang leaped directly onto the city walls in just a few steps and saw an incredibly shocking scene: countless bandits pouring in continuously.

Tianchen Country had attacked! They wanted to completely take over Da Qi!

Li Huowang pulled out his Spinal Bone Sword and fiercely swung it backward, "Li Sui! Come help!!"

A shadow instantly darted out from the rift and pulled open Li Huowang's abdomen, burrowing inside.

"Li Sui! This isn't enough! There are too many people! Use your illusions to notify others in Da Liang! All come help!!"
