Chapter 159: Reasoning
After Wang Yufan finished speaking, Changtian looked at Wang Yufan with a puzzled expression, then fixed his gaze on Li Meng’er.
Changtian saw the beautiful face beneath Li Meng’er’s mask; he hadn’t paid much attention before.
But as he continued to look, a faint, intertwined scythe mark on Li Meng’er’s brow made Changtian pause in surprise.
His eyes then burst with golden light as he continued to examine it. Indeed, it was a scythe mark, and he quickly searched his mind for its origin and meaning.
He closed his eyes in contemplation, and suddenly, his eyes snapped open.
"Is she a Rakshasa Body? That kind of scythe mark, in my memory, only matches the ancient divine body, the Rakshasa Body," Changtian said to Wang Yufan.
Wang Yufan smiled and said, "You’ve figured out a bit, but as far as I know, there are still some things you haven’t mentioned, or perhaps you’ve forgotten."
Changtian asked in confusion, "Impossible, what I just said is all that I know. How could there be anything else?"
"Oh? Then let me ask you, what was the physique of the founding ancestor of your so-called Jidao Imperial Court?" Wang Yufan asked.
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Changtian was stunned for a moment, then said, "Our founding ancestor’s physique was a Raksha. Changtian stopped mid-sentence, as if something had just occurred to him.
"What? Keep going, hahaha," Wang Yufan said with a laugh.
He then continued, "If I’m not mistaken, your founding ancestor was also a Rakshasa Body, and he had a cultivation method specifically for the Rakshasa Body."
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Changtian’s heart pounded. He said to Wang Yufan, "Who are you? Why do you know so much, even I don’t remember these things very clearly." Changtian said angrily, his words now tinged with wariness.
He didn’t know why this young man knew so much, especially about the secrets of his Jidao Imperial Court. This was extremely disadvantageous to him; if outsiders knew these things, it would be a great threat to his identity as Lord of the Imperial Court.
Changtian didn’t know who Wang Yufan was, but in that instant, Changtian already had an urge to silence him, because no matter who it was, knowing about their Jidao Imperial Court was never a good thing.
The hint of killing intent in Changtian’s eyes was long ago caught by Wang Yufan, who merely smiled indifferently.
"Now you know the purpose of me sending someone to you, right? This is your Jidao Imperial Court’s successor, and she’s stronger than all nine of your Imperial Princes," Wang Yufan said.
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Changtian snorted, "Hmph, what you say may be reasonable, but what if I don’t agree, or what if I keep all of you here? How does that sound?"
"Hehehe, I say you wouldn’t dare. If no accidents occur, the commotion we’ve caused here has already reached the ears of the other Lord of the Imperial Courts. What kind of reaction do you think they’d have upon hearing that someone with Emperor level talent has appeared? I also heard that the Divine Emperor is not easy to provoke," Wang Yufan said.
After Wang Yufan spoke, Changtian’s face indeed darkened, but he still said, "Hmph, they can be fine, and my Jidao Imperial Court will provide the greatest resources to cultivate him. As for you, I don’t know your origin, but given how many secrets of my Jidao Imperial Court you know, I think you should stay here forever, or disappear, that would be best."
Hearing Changtian’s words, Li Qiye stepped forward and said, "If you want to touch my master, I won’t agree. And I won’t stay in your Jidao Imperial Court."
Li Meng’er also stepped forward and said, "So this is the place Young Master found for me. If the people here are those who cannot distinguish right from wrong, I don’t want to stay here either. Although I aspire to profound Dao, I will never stay here."
Li Meng’er’s words made everyone look sideways. Especially Changtian, whose expression was very ugly at this moment.
But Wang Yufan waved his hand and said, "No worries, no worries, there’s no need for such a fuss. Li Meng’er, this place is most suitable for your cultivation, you must stay." After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he then looked at Changtian and said,
"Is there a quiet, secluded, and spacious place?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Changtian also asked in confusion, "What do you mean? There are plenty of places; my Jidao Imperial Court has many such places."
"Hahaha, that’s good. I’d like to have a good talk with the Lord of the Imperial Court. I wonder if the Lord of the Imperial Court is interested?" Wang Yufan said.
"Hm?" Changtian thought for a moment, as if he had realized something, and thought to himself: What an arrogant young man, daring to talk reason with this Divine King. Then I’ll have a good talk with you. This time, I’ll make you tell me all the secrets in your mouth, or silence you permanently, that works too. The secrets of our Jidao Imperial Court cannot be known by you.
Thinking these thoughts, Changtian said to Wang Yufan, "Good, follow me. Everyone else, stay here for now."
After Changtian finished speaking, he directly waved his hand, and a portal opened on one side of the main hall.
"If you dare, follow me. This Emperor will have a good talk with you," Changtian said, taking a step towards the portal.
Wang Yufan also followed without the slightest hesitation. Li Qiye shouted loudly, "Master, be careful, this old guy is shameless."
These words reached Changtian’s ears, and his old face instantly darkened. He hadn’t expected to be insulted by this young man. He decided he would deal with Li Qiye after he finished with Wang Yufan.
As he walked, he pondered, as if something had just occurred to him.
If he wasn’t mistaken, ever since he met these individuals, Li Qiye had always called Wang Yufan Master. This made Changtian feel incredulous, because in his eyes, Wang Yufan looked only about ten years older than Li Qiye. How could Li Qiye possibly take him as a master?
He didn’t know why, but he felt that going to reason with Wang Yufan seemed like a mistake.
As Wang Yufan and Changtian both entered the portal, Li Meng’er said worriedly to Li Qiye, "Do you think your master will be alright? The other party is a Divine King. Although I’ve followed your master for so long, I still don’t know how strong he truly is."
Hearing Li Meng’er’s words, Li Qiye also shook his head. He didn’t know what to say, as he himself had only recently taken this master.
However, at this moment, Mo Zheng, who had never spoken before, opened his mouth and said, "Don’t worry, Master is very strong, he will be fine."
Hearing this, Li Meng’er and Li Qiye were both stunned.
