656 Exposed Nangong Li, The Emperor’s Fury (2)
Moreover, the Great Zhou Emperor did not know that Xiao Zhenting had infiltrated the Capital. This was Xiao Zhenting’s personal action and had nothing to do with the Imperial Court.
Moreover, he had more or less heard about Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan’s relationship. It was not impossible for him to accompany Shangguan Yan into the Capital to find her son.
Helian Beiming had never suspected Xiao Zhenting’s motives from the beginning, so even though he knew that Xiao Zhenting was in and out of the Helian Manor, he turned a blind eye. However, now that it was out in the open, he had no choice but to express his stand.
He looked at Yu Wan and then at his brother. The two of them looked at him innocently. He opened his mouth and let out a long sigh. “Forget it, I’ll keep my mouth shut.”
He really owed them. Ever since this girl ca to the Helian family, he did not rember how many things he had done that went against his family’s rules. The Helian family, who had only been loyal to the Emperor for their entire lives, was almost hiding it from the Emperor.
“The border…” Helian Beiming thought of sothing and looked at Xiao Zhenting.
Xiao Zhenting said, “I left a substitute in the camp. Other than Nangong Li, no one should have discovered that I was missing.”
Yu Wan pondered and said, “Nangong Li made a military pledge. If he doesn’t obtain the Grand Marshal’s head, he won’t return to the Capital. However, now that the Grand Marshal has already co to the Capital, if he rushes back openly, he will be violating the military pledge. If he doesn’t return, he won’t be able to obtain the Grand Marshal’s head, so not only will he not expose the Grand Marshal’s whereabouts, but he will also secretly hide it for us.
As for the Emperor, the soldiers of the Great Zhou have yet to take action. He doesn’t know what the Grand Marshal is up to. Perhaps he thinks that the Grand Marshal is brewing so big move, or perhaps he’s forcing Nanzhao to hand Prince Yan over.”
Helian Beiming nodded. His niece was right. With his understanding of the Emperor, the Emperor indeed could not guess that Xiao Zhenting had already left the military camp and co to the Capital. As for Nangong Li, the incident with Asura was the best evidence. He was more unwilling to expose Xiao Zhenting’s whereabouts than anyone else. He wanted to secretly capture them all.
“Didn’t you say… he might have a new Asura in his hands?”
Yu Wan nodded. “Shadow Thirteen went to the Princess Manor again. He said that there might be more than one new Asura.”
Although he could not infiltrate the Princess Manor, he was a half-sacrificial soldier and was more sensitive to Asura’s aura than ordinary people. It was clearly several auras that made his scalp tingle.
Helian Beiming’s expression beca especially solemn. “One Asura is already very difficult to deal with, but now three have co. This is really…”
Difficult to deal with them was saying it easy. Asura had never thought of dealing with them from the beginning. If Asura wanted to kill them once, they might all die.
They had never really faced Asura.
Xiao Zhenting was the only one who could escape from Asura’s hands, but defeating Asura was still too difficult. Moreover, there was more than one. That was almost impossible.
Yu Wan held her chin and sighed. “Is there no way to deal with those Asuras?”
“There is.” Grandma had appeared at the door. “Asura.”
Only Asura could defeat Asura.
Asura was a product of the Ghost Clan. Since that group of old fellows could refine Asura, they naturally had a way to trap Asura. However, it was not to the extent of killing him. Moreover, according to Grandma’s guess, Nangong Li’s new Asura had beco even stronger and terrifying with the help of dicine and Asura’s internal energy. Even those old fellows could not restrain them.
They only had one way left—to revive Asura.
Yu Wan hesitated. “He’s so seriously injured…”
His ridians and bones were broken. Although they were reconnected, his fighting spirit was long gone, and his internal energy had been sucked dry. The internal energy that Xiao Zhenting, Ah Wei, and the others sent to him every day could only suppress his mania.
The old man said, “He’s a natural killing god. Only death can stop him from killing.”
Yu Wan spread her hands. “But he can’t even kill a worm now.”
The old man’s eyes turned cold. “Then refine him again!”
Yu Wan was stunned.
“However.” The old man paused. “Nangong Li’s Asuras will be able to be refined in a few days. At that ti, it will be easy for them to assassinate anyone. If Asura doesn’t recover at that ti, then only death awaits us. I suggest that you report the news of Xiao Zhenting and Nangong Li to the Emperor at the sa ti.”
Yu Wan thought for a while. “Grandma, you an… we shouldn’t give him a chance to secretly attack?”
The old man nodded. “That’s right.”
There was no other way.
