Chapter 880 - Disbelief
Her hair was held up with a hairpin shaped like a divine bird. In the bird’s beak was a single pearl adorned with threads that hung down, further emphasizing her beautiful face.
While she might have looked prettier than the others, her beautiful clothes could not conceal her hatred towards Li Huowang. “Are you Li Huowang? Speak up! Did you perhaps become mute?”
Li Huowang remained silent as he continued to meet her gaze.
“I know my lord has several poor relatives. He treated you all with kindness because of your past, but you are just a damned Daoist! Remember your place and don’t overstep your boundaries! Who do you think my Lord is? Who are you to not kneel down to greet him? How dare you be so mannerless? Remember to kneel next time you see him! It’s up to him whether to let you sit or not!”
After hearing her out, Li Huowang finally said, “Shai Zi?”
Everyone froze upon hearing him. The woman ripped off her face and squished it like clay, turning it into a six-sided die.
“Not bad, Hong Zhong. It’s hard to believe you recognized me so quickly this time. It seems that you did not abandon your cultivation!”
Li Huowang didn’t think that Shai Zi was here to talk with him. Li Huowang’s hand was already on the hilt of his sword.
Using his cultivation of the “Truth,” Shai Zi’s face slowly turned from the number six to the number one.
Shai Zi moved to the side and used one of the consorts as a shield to block Li Huowang’s gaze. “Don’t be rash. Have you forgotten that I helped you in the Baiyu Capital last time? If I hadn’t reminded you, you would’ve never remembered to use the Dragon Qi to mend the sundered Baiyu Capital.”
Li Huowang gritted his teeth, his voice filled with anger and bloodlust. “What do you want?”
Shai Zi cheekily poked his head out from the back of the consort. “The Tianchen Kingdom is coming over? Hehehe. Although it may appear to be a crisis, deep down we both understand that this is actually an opportunity. The Liang Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, and even you would benefit from this. I also want in.”
“Is there something you want in the Tianchen Kingdom? What is it?”
Shai Zi pushed his finger into one of the indentations of his head and poked it around. “You don’t have to worry about that. You can’t use it anyway. It’s just something between me and Doulao. If you agree, I can help you win against the Tianchen Kingdom. Why don’t you stop trying to kill me for once?”
“You? You can’t even go to the Qi Kingdom. How can you help?”
“Who says that I can’t go there? Have you forgotten that there are Shai Zis in the Qi Kingdom too? One of the eighteen-sided Shai Zi is with me. I’m technically part of the Qi Kingdom right now. I could go back anytime I want, but I don’t want to.”
Shai Zi became transparent, as if he could disappear whenever he wanted.
“Don’t think that the Sitting Oblivion Dao only deceives people. We could also put in some serious work. You are part of us, so you should know that too. If the Tianchen Kingdom destroyed both the Liang Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom, who else could we deceive?”
“They are already going to attack us, and now you’re saying you can help us? You guys are useless in frontal assaults! Also, your tricks are worthless—they can just pull your Lies out of their bodies.”
“Hey, that’s harsh. Don’t scold yourself. Alright, let’s keep the pleasantries aside and talk about something worthwhile.”
Shai Zi looked around and whispered, “I know about the Tianchen Kingdom and their situation. Don’t you think letting me help you win is worthwhile?”
Li Huowang frowned as a strange thought filled his head. “Is Bei Feng your spy?”
Shai Zi acted exaggeratedly when he heard that. “What?! Is Bei Feng still alive? Oh my!”
“Stop playing tricks! Just tell me the information if you want to show your sincerity.”
Li Huowang didn\'t trust any of Shai Zi\'s words. Li Huowang had faced the Sitting Oblivion Dao so many times that he had his own way of dealing with them.
However, regardless of whether they were lies or not, Li Huowang still had to listen to Shai Zi because his lies were interspersed with truths.
Based on their conversation, Bei Feng being Shai Zi’s spy was very likely. In that role, Bei Feng could obtain information about the Tianchen Kingdom more quickly.
Shai Zi finally revealed some information. “Everyone from the Tianchen Kingdom can touch the Heavenly Daos.”
“We already know that. Don’t tell me that’s all you found out?”
"No, no, Hong Zhong, what I meant was that everyone in the Tianchen Kingdom has the ability to do it. However, only the really talented ones can do it easily. Those who dumbere can’t do so because they haven\'t learned how to do it."
“Everyone? Everyone in the kingdom could potentially do so?”
“Hehehe, do you think there are regular people in the Tianchen Kingdom? They are different from us. There are no Simings or gods over there. They are the ones in control of everything.”
Li Huowang stood still and waited for Shai Zi to continue his explanation.
“They trust in nothing but themselves.”
This was bad news. How could Li Huowang defeat the Tianchen Kingdom?
Li Huowang didn’t know if the powers of the people from the Tianchen Kingdom came from the Heavenly Mater or from something else.
If Shai Zi was telling the truth, Li Huowang would be stuck in a difficult battle.
Li Huowang had considered that they might need to call the Simings for help, but now he was convinced that unless he called upon Ji Zai, their entire group would be wiped out.
Li Huowang was still thinking about how to deal with it when Shai Zi gave a suggestion. “There’s a lot of people in the Tianchen Kingdom. You can’t just rely on the limited people from the Qi Kingdom. Trying to unite the people in the Qi Kingdom is a mistake. You need to go for the person in the Tianchen Kingdom responsible for this mess.
“As the Emperor, you do not need to hold them back forcefully. You can always use the White Lotus Sect, though I doubt that they would be of much use. Wait, Hong Zhong, I’ve heard you have many friends in the White Lotus Sect, don’t you?”
“Stop calling me Hong Zhong! I’m Li Huowang! Don’t think that Hong Zhong will help you! I will never let him out!”
Shai Zi looked at Li Huowang with confusion. “What are you talking about? Aren’t you Hong Zhong Li Huowang?”
Li Huowang’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at himself. “Am I the Sitting Oblivion Dao’s Hong Zhong?”
“What? Hong Zhong Li Huowang and regular Li Huowang. Do you... differentiate between yourselves?”
Li Huowang turned and saw Shai Zi grinning.
“Shai Zi, I almost fell for your tricks. Unfortunately for you, I already know the tricks of the SItting Oblivion Dao. I don’t believe you.”
