Chapter 298 Shortcuts (7)

"I don't think you don't know where the illusion put Princess Changle, right?" Li Ming asked coldly.

Xilai looked at Li Ming unexpectedly and said in surprise: "Are you still thinking about Princess Changle? I thought you would hate her to the core."

"This is not something you inquired about." Li Ming coldly interrupted Xilai's words and said, "Princess Changle is the flesh and blood of the late emperor. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have the obligation to pay attention to her affairs. As the royal bloodline, even if she committed a heinous crime, she cannot let you deal with her. What's more, everything she does is just bewitched by the illusion. Tell me, where is she now? Such an important shield, the illusion will not easily kill her."

Xilai looked at Li Ming with praise, nodded and said, "That's right, Princess Changle has nothing to do now. I can tell you where she hides, but I have a request."

"Impossible." Before Xi could finish her speech, Li Ming interrupted him and said with a sneer: "You are my prisoner now and have no power to make any demands. I don't have to know the whereabouts of Princess Changle. As long as I try my best, I will feel at ease. So you can't threaten me with this. I just said that I did this entirely to give you a reason to live. If you don't appreciate it, I don't want to force it." After that, Li Ming stared at Xilai with a cold look, which made him feel chilled all over.

"Tell me quickly, the head of the sect is very tolerant." Yan Zi hid behind the Bifan and stomped her feet in a hurry. Seeing that Xi Lai was still stubborn and refused to tell the princess's whereabouts, he hurriedly started to shout in a low voice.

There were martial arts people with great martial arts skills at the scene. Although the sound of Yan Zi was small, it still came into everyone's ears. For a moment, all his eyes gathered on her face.

Yan Zi, who had always been brave, couldn't help but look red at this moment. At this point, she didn't care too much. She ran two steps to come to Xilai, forced him to kneel down in front of Li Ming, and begged him: "Please say it better. The head of the sect has said a long time ago that if you are willing to cooperate, he will not only spare all of you, but also agree to our marriage. You...didn't you keep me in your heart at all?" At this point, Yan Zi was even ashamed and angry, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but turn around.

Xilai's cold face finally had a little expression, and the expression that looked at Yan Zi actually had a hint of gentleness. Looking at Yan Zi's appearance, he turned his gaze to Li Ming and said, "Since that's the case, I'll tell you. Princess Changle is currently in Da Su, so it may not be easy to find her."

"Big Zhou!" Li Ming screamed in surprise: "How could she arrive at Da Zhou? Under my strict defense, how could she arrive at Da Su?"

Xilai smiled coldly and said, "Don't think your defense is so strict. For the illusion, it is not difficult to travel through your territory to reach Dasu. Princess Changle was sent by him personally, and I also participated in the planning of this matter."

"What are you going to Da Su? You can't let her find Li Qing." Li Ming asked in confusion.

The West came outside was stunned and then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that your news was quite good. I actually knew that Li Qing was in Dasu. Yes, this is another plan arranged by Phantom. After the failure of Nanguo City, Phantom felt that it would be difficult to succeed by Princess Changle alone. Therefore, after inquiring from multiple sources, she found Li Qing's whereabouts. Princess Changle went to Li Qing as a representative of Phantom to negotiate. If Li Qing counterattacks you one day, he promised to cooperate with Li Qing inside the Tang Dynasty, and the condition was that when Li Qing ascended the throne, he would help him eliminate the enemy of the God of War."

"I think it's simple, but he still wants to counterattack?" Li Ming sneered and stood up and said, "Although it's very forced, you can finally explain it honestly. I hope what you said is true. Since Swallow chose you, I won't stop it anymore. Let's do this. In two days, I'll find a quiet place around here, and you two will spend your life there. I hope you can grow old together." After that, he turned around and walked out.

Li Ming had no good impression of Xilai and Yanzi. Both of them were moody and difficult to distinguish between grievances. Li Ming felt very tired when dealing with them. Although he agreed to spare Xilai's life, Li Ming was not at ease to let such a potential enemy go out and threaten him again. Putting them under house arrest might be the best way.

In the valley outside, the disciples of the God of War Sect efficiently erected a tall trunk. On the top of the trunk, the illusion that the ferocious head was floating in the wind.

This is the first time Li Ming used this method of demonstration. He originally didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the War God Sect, but if more than 10,000 disciples were going to take revenge, it would inevitably bring great chaos to his Tang Dynasty, which he did not want to see. Therefore, he decided to use the identity of the leader and the handwriting of the God of War to solve this matter. Under this premise, it is very necessary to establish the prestige of the leader.

At this point, the matter of the God of War Sect was basically over. Li Ming was eager to leave this place and then find a quiet place to practice the internal skills and mental methods he had comprehended. Unexpectedly, the elders led by Zhuo Bufan mentioned the old things again.

"Header, the overall situation of the God of War Sect has been determined. Our disciples have also been trained for many years and are now able to take on the role of the master. In this situation, with the millions of troops under the command of the leader, I believe that the enemies of the God of War will be wiped out in a short period of time. Header, you will surely shine in the history of the God of War Sect." Two days after the execution of the illusion, Zhuo Bufan brought the elders to his room, just like he mentioned revenge.

Li Ming had already considered this matter properly, so in the face of Zhuo Bufan's expectant gaze, he smiled calmly and said confidently: "I don't want to make a decision about this matter too early. While I got the Golden Divine Sword, I also got a handwritten book left by the God of War, which is currently kept in my palace. Since I didn't know your details in advance, I didn't bring it here. Let's do this. Go back to the imperial city with me and bring the handwritten book back to study it with the elders, and then make a conclusion. OK? I won't tell you my decision now."

"There is another handwritten book?" Zhuo Bufan and others were very surprised and excited. In their opinion, anything left by the Golden God of War was a priceless treasure and must be taken back and worshipped in the station temple.

Therefore, he did not hesitate at all about Li Ming's invitation and directly agreed happily.

"Since the head of the sect said that, I will go to the imperial city again. I came back in a hurry without experiencing the prosperity there last time. I must enjoy it this time. I hope the head of the sect can meet my small requirement."

Zhuo Bufan's joke made everyone laugh. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Ming suggested: "Since the God of War Sect has stabilized, let's not return the money. To be honest, everything he did was for the disciples of the God of War Sect. There was no big mistake in itself. Just keep him in a few days and punish him. There is no need to treat him as our enemy. After all, he is also one of the elders of the God of War Sect."

Li Ming said this and the elders sighed in unison that the money was not accepted because he opposed Li Ming's appointment as head of the sect. Unexpectedly, Li Ming would forgive his sins so magnanimously. Now Li Ming suddenly became taller in their hearts.

Two days later, Li Ming led everyone on the journey of return with the expected gains. Before leaving, Li Ming suddenly remembered Yang Ping.

To be honest, in the past six months, he has almost forgotten that this was once the most loyal guardian of the Tang Dynasty royal family. When Yang Ping was by his side, he really felt uncomfortable all over his body. Time has changed, and now his status has been very consolidated. Yang Ping can no longer pose any substantial threat to him. He will not give up such a capable assistant easily.

Under Hou Qing's leadership, Li Ming walked into the formation set up by Hou Qing for Xilai and Yan Zi.

Although Li Ming has been following Hou Qing to learn the knowledge of formations these days, and there are natural formations everywhere in this place, which can give Li Ming the opportunity to practice while learning, but when passing through this formation that Hou Qing took three days to set up, Li Ming was still a little dazzled. Only at this time did he know that his knowledge of formations was still far from it.

In this small space where spring is warm and birds are singing and fragrant, Xilai has returned to its former gentleness and elegance, and the swallows have returned to its former innocence and liveliness. It can be seen that the two of them live very comfortably here. Seeing Li Ming and Xilai have a long-lost smile.

"How can you, a busy man, have time to come to me? Come and have a drink of the bar. For the time being, this is still brewed by them. But maybe when you come next year, you will be able to drink the fine wine I brewed by myself. Look, Yan Zi and I have opened up several acres of land here in the past two days. I hope there will be a good harvest next year." When I said this, Xilai was simply a master living in seclusion, without the feeling of a yin vulture before.

Li Ming smiled and sat down on the rattan chair in front of him, picked up the wine glass on the small table and drank it all, and then smiled and said, "I hope the environment here will satisfy you. I am going back. Today I will say goodbye to you. I remembered something before leaving. After Princess Changle escaped from the imperial city, I sent someone to chase him, but he disappeared after he arrived here. I think you should know his whereabouts."

"You are talking about the person who is not difficult to be a woman?" Xilai's face suddenly became ugly, and even a hint of fear appeared in his eyes: "That person cannot be called a human being. I have never seen a martial arts as high as him. At that time, the ten elders from our place joined forces and were at a disadvantage. If I hadn't introduced him into the pre-arranged formation in the end, he might have solved all of us by himself. That person... could not be considered a human."

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Li Ming's face. He grabbed Xilai's arm and asked anxiously: "Where is he? Tell me, is he still alive?"

"Out of respect for him, we did not kill him. After being trapped in that formation, no one could come out. It was a natural formation that I accidentally discovered. Although it was not big, it was extremely dangerous. He should still be there now. However, without eating and drinking in the past six months, it is probably a pile of dry bones. Li Ming, sometimes I really admire you. There are so many top masters who serve you. That person's skills are already very rare. I didn't expect that there are such masters around you now. If you lose in your hands, I have no regrets."

"Where is that formation? Tell me quickly!" Thinking of the end of the Golden God of War back then, Li Ming couldn't help but feel anxious. Yang Ping's martial arts can at most be comparable to the Golden God of War. Even the Golden God of War failed to persist in the woods for more than three months. Can Yang Ping escape? Thinking of this, Li Ming felt a little desperate.

"The formation is in the middle of the valley where we are. There is a very obvious pavilion in front of the formation. The pavilion says the word "Tiangong" and it is easy to find. But I would like to advise you not to try it there easily. I know that there are masters around you, and the place where I live is a very clever formation, but even my master cannot enter that place."

"Thank you!" Li Ming didn't bother to exchange greetings anymore and took everyone out. Hou Qing had been to the valley where the illusion they had hidden in the past a few days ago. As long as he knew the approximate location in the valley, he should be able to find it. With Hou Qing's ability, there is still a certain hope to enter that formation.

Under the leadership of Hou Qing and several subordinates of the previous Phantom, Li Ming and others walked through the dense forest for two days and finally arrived at the hidden valley of the Phantom. This place was almost the same as the terrain where the War God Gate was located. They were both in a valley surrounded by dense forests and mountains. Under the protection of the surrounding formations, this place was also very secret. Without anyone to lead it, it would be impossible to enter smoothly.

After entering the valley, everyone hurriedly began to look for the pavilion that Xilai mentioned. Finally, as Xilai described, the pavilion was on the middle side of the valley. The two big words "Tiangong" were indeed written above the pavilion.

Hou Qing stood in front of the pavilion for a long time, and circled around the pavilion for several times. Finally, he returned to everyone, holding his beard and shook his head and sighed: "It's hard, it's really too difficult. It seems simple, but it actually contains infinite murderous intent. This is a killing formation, and that Yang Ping seems to have no hope."
