“I already mentioned it, this person is... eccentric!” Zhang An shook his head. “He’d rather have one less thing on his plate than one more, and he’s probably only here in replica form. Whether it’s Li Daoheng or Zheng Yu, they both have something to do with the exalted emperor.

“He won’t get involved even though I’m the grandson of the supreme! Not unless... we manage to take out the other two and go to him to team up against the Red Moon exalted emperor. He might make a move then because then it will be against an external foe. What’s between us is civil discord!”

Li Hao nodded thoughtfully and couldn’t help but ask, “But he’s an exalted emperor too at the end of the day. How would he... be wary of some exalted emperor descendants?”

“He’s not wary of them, he just can’t be bothered with them. He’d want nothing more than to be ignored by the entire world and to ignore it in return,” Zhang An sighed. “He and his father are invincible! But no matter the side, they don’t want to help anyone. They want nothing more than the entire world to forget about them.

“In New Martial, the Pagoda King—the master of General Pagoda’s ancestor—and this one were considered the number one fair-weather friends in the world. The Pagoda King was so because he had no choice—he lacked sufficient strength. Meanwhile, this family was so purely because they didn’t want to get involved in anything.”

Li Hao nodded, highly amused. “So if things are as the dean’s surmised, he won’t pay attention to us so long as I don’t ruin the Exalted Blood Emperor’s resurrection plan?”

“Yes. In fact, if you guys kill each other, that’s one less source of trouble on his radar. He won’t care about us!” Zhang An was quite resigned. “There’s also no way to ask more from this one. It would be one thing if his primary body was here, but since it’s his replica, then not even the Human King would be able to force him to do anything. He’d just tell us to kill his replica, so what can we do about that?”

“What’s his name?” Li Hao’s interest was piqued. The son of the West Emperor?

The nine emperors and four sovereigns of New Martial were powerhouses that spanned the three eras of Initial Martial, core origin, and New Martial. They’d been strong from beginning to end. How ancient would one of their direct descendants who was an exalted emperor himself be!

“I can’t speak of it because if it is him, he’ll sense us using his name even if it’s only his replica here. I can’t talk too much about him either. If I do and he thinks you’re scheming against him, he’ll strike first and eliminate a potential threat even if he doesn’t like to get involved!”

“But you’re the grandson of the supreme...” Li Hao laughed. According to what you say, he won’t do anything to you.

“I am,” Zhang An nodded. “And... you aren’t!”
