Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1751 - 473: Communication, Overwhelming Force (5k)

"My knowledge is limited, if anything is done wrong, even if it costs my life, it is still to repay His Highness's kindness in recognizing my worth, and also to repay the Riddler's favor in saving my clan."The servant spat out fresh blood, and his voice began to weaken.

King Lian looked at the servant, who spoke sincerely, and sighed silently, with such reasons, what more could he say?

If his subordinates were all those who abandoned loyalty for profit, who repaid kindness with malice, then he would truly feel frightened.

In the past few years, he had heard a bit about the affairs in West Qian, but at the time, given his status, he could only hear a bit and could do nothing about it.

Could he possibly lead troops to West Qian?

Perhaps on that day, there would be multiple baskets of complaints against him at the court.

King Lian slightly lowered his eyes, calmly pondering, what does the Riddler intend to do?

What does Dadui intend to do?

Upon thinking deeply, the only aspect he could think of was certain places in West Qian.

The homeland of Dadui from long ago.

The people of Dadui have returned from the sealing, and many of those who fought against Daqian in the Ancient End Period are still alive today.

Their obsessions are known to all.

If Dadui wants to reclaim the former homeland at such a time, can Daqian stop it with its current situation?

Impossible to stop.

The court restrains each other, sending troops is certainly possible, but deciding who goes and who leads will be a prolonged argument.

Why does the Riddler still come looking for him?

And under the guise of helping him ascend the throne?

King Lian pondered for a long time, flicked his finger, and a Spirit Pill flew out, landing in the servant's mouth.

"Three days later, a hundred miles west of the city, at the ancient pavilion of the Blue Mountain."

Since the outcome is the same whether he goes or not, he decides he might as well take a look.

If Dadui really dispatches troops to reclaim the homeland, then he might have a greater chance to consolidate forces and lead troops out. Thus there would be more he could do.

The servant took the Pill, saluted, tidied up the bloodstains on his body after standing up, and quietly left pretending as if nothing had happened.

Three days later, King Lian, accompanied by his confidants, arrived at the appointed place.

As soon as he sat down, he felt a glow swirling across from him, a streak of Blade Qi appeared, Jia Shisi was already seated there.

Seeing Jia Shisi, the followers with King Lian suddenly felt as if facing a formidable enemy, turning pale.

From Dadui, Jia Shisi, who could have thought this person would come.

"Greetings, Your Highness King Lian." Jia Shisi remained seated, only cupped his hands, which was already a great honor.

"You all may leave now." King Lian waved his hand to the guards to let them all exit.

The strongest in the current Blade Dao, from Dadui, Jia Shisi, if he wanted to kill them, they would already be dead.

Jia Shisi's personal appearance made King Lian breathe a sigh of relief, at least proving that the Riddler... no, Emperor Dui placed significant importance on this matter.

The Old Emperor Qian was personally killed by that mysterious Emperor Dui.

According to the information King Lian received, at that time Emperor Dui stepped out of Dadui, flames enveloped him entirely, like a man of fire, carrying unimaginable roaring rage, with the tendency to burn through the Sky Dome.

At that time, someone took a distant glance and felt the rage within their chest completely uncontrollable, leaving only anger towards the Old Emperor Qian.

The Old Emperor Qian was strong to that extent yet was brutally killed by Emperor Dui's first step out of Dadui, now there's talk that the strongest of the current era is Emperor Dui.

Some people think that they must have used some special Secret Technique or Divine Skills, many were affected back then.

There were few opposing voices to the claim that the strongest was Emperor Dui in a raging state.

In any case, regardless of what methods were used, everyone only looks at the results.

King Lian looked at Jia Shisi, thinking, no wonder Emperor Dui could suppress such a peak master of slaughter like Jia Shisi.

If he had this kind of strength, he wouldn't have the troubles he has now.

After all, among cultivators, it's about who has the larger, stronger fist.

Jia Shisi observed the calm King Lian, nodding to himself.

"Your Highness King Lian, I'll be straightforward.

Dadui desires to reclaim the lost homeland, which you probably guessed."

"Correct."

"Then I'll speak plainly.

Our emperor has stated clearly, the former homeland must be recovered.

However, with external enemies present and Daqian in such chaos, it would undoubtedly give the external foes a chance.

Our emperor also desires Daqian to restore order, lest those evil cultivations affect Dadui on a daily basis.

We only want the homeland—to give Your Highness the opportunity to lead troops, enabling you to ascend the throne swiftly."

"External enemies?" King Lian furrowed his brow.

"It seems Your Highness doesn't know many things, unspeakable; once ascended, you'll understand on your own.

By then, Your Highness will comprehend our emperor's good intentions.

Frankly speaking, if not for our emperor's benevolence, Daqian's downfall wouldn't be impossible."

Seeing that King Lian didn't seem to know much, Jia Shisi temporarily lost the desire to continue the conversation.

He came just to convey a stance.

"Within a month, Dadui will dispatch troops, hoping Your Highness will seize the opportunity."

Leaving a remark, Jia Shisi transformed into a beam of blade light, vanishing from sight.

King Lian sat in silence for a long time, left without a word, returned to his residence.

Dadui directly revealed their bottom line to him, he had firsthand information, indeed there was room for maneuver.

Yet, he still doesn't quite understand why.

Let's talk after ascending the throne.

If he can't ascend the throne, everything is moot.

Half a month later, an evil Dao appeared in West Qian, killing and looting, hunting materials used for Evil Skill, accidentally entered Dadui territory, coincidentally encountered the Riddler nearby.

Several Riddlers rescued the cultivators being chased, pursued that evil Dao, inadvertently chasing it to West Qian.
