Temujin stared at the Heavenly List, first startled, then overjoyed.
However, before the laughter subsided, his brows suddenly furrowed.
The images of Ying Zheng and Wu Zetian appeared in his mind.
Although he had always looked down on the latter, he had to admit that the Tang Dynasty was by no means a weak country.
What he feared even more was that his arch-enemy, Ying Zheng, would never stand idly by and let the opportunity for immortality slip away.
What's more, there's also the Azure Dragon Society!
Given Ximen Yu's vengeful nature, if anyone dares to touch Xiaoyaozi, the Qinglong Society will surely unleash a bloodbath.
This struggle is destined to be extremely dangerous!
But even so——
Even Genghis Khan would find it difficult to remain rational when faced with the prospect of immortality.
Or rather, within the Nine Provinces, who can resist such a destiny?
However, the vast majority of people don't even have the right to compete!
But those desperate criminals will surely follow one after another like moths to a flame.
Moreover, what about him, the ruler of the Great Yuan Dynasty?!
A cold glint flashed in Temujin's eyes, and he shouted a stern command:
"Immediately send men to the Valley of Immortality in Dali to seize the Fountain of Immortality and the scriptures!"
"At the same time, we must spare no effort to find out the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Society!"
"We'd even use the 'living dead' if necessary!"
"If you encounter anyone from another dynasty—kill them without mercy!"
A chilling killing intent swept through the hall, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.
"I will obey the Khan's command!"
The Great Tang Dynasty, Fengxuan Pavilion.
Wu Zetian narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
"Immortality? There are such extraordinary people in the world!"
She raised an eyebrow, her heart still reeling.
I thought Xiaoyaozi was already a peerless talent, but who knew that Ximen Yu was even better!
What worries her even more is that while the Azure Dragon Society is on good terms with the Qin and Yuan dynasties, the Tang dynasty has already incurred their enmity.
If we cannot seize the opportunity to achieve immortality, wouldn't we fall completely behind other countries?
Thinking of this, her gaze turned cold, and she lightly tapped the table with her fingertips.
"Pass down the order: send people to contact the Azure Dragon Society. No matter the cost, the secret to immortality must be obtained!"
"If Ximen Yu doesn't know how to appreciate such kindness—"
She snorted coldly, her killing intent suddenly appearing.
"Then we shall seize it by any means necessary!"
Wan'er lowered her head in response, then turned and left.
Emperor Huizong of Song leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance with a somber expression.
"Immortality...it's a pity, I'm destined to never have it."
Jealousy and envy were evident in their words!
That's understandable.
As one of the most powerful figures in Kyushu,
Yet they don't even qualify to participate in the competition for immortality.
Who could remain calm in that situation?!
But the problem is,
Even if you're unwilling, what can you do?
At best, it's just a futile outburst of anger.
The four powers: Great Qin, Great Yuan, Great Tang, and the Azure Dragon Society.
Which side of the Song Dynasty could afford to provoke them?!
Because they understand this principle so well,
I understand that I envy you to the extreme, but all I can do is feel pointless anger.
Emperor Huizong's mood became increasingly depressed.
Faced with immortality,
Even knowing the outcome is already decided,
He still clung to a sliver of hope and wanted to give it a try.
It's as if they're gambling on that extremely slim possibility!
"Guards, convey my secret decree: establish contact between the Ming and Qing dynasties!"
"Only a three-way alliance might be able to somewhat resist the power of the four sides!"
"I doubt they'll refuse!"
Zhao Ji suddenly smiled.
He recalled his own resentment—
Did the Qing and Ming emperors simply stand by and do nothing?
A cold response came from the shadows.
"Every time the Heavenly Ranking is published, it overturns my understanding of the world."
"I truly want to know what kind of being you are!"
Turn your gaze away from the sky.
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and sighed softly.
As the list of winners changes and time goes by...
His curiosity about Ximen Yu grew stronger.
The longing in their eyes became increasingly evident.
"Nephew, you seem to hold that Green Dragon Society's leader in particularly high regard?"
"The secret to immortality is the key to the Golden List."
"Don't you have any hope at all?"
A hint of mockery flashed across the Night Emperor's eyes.
"Can't you see the situation, Imperial Uncle?"
"With the Ming Dynasty's foundation, how can it contend with those three forces?"
"Besides, the item in question originated from the Azure Dragon Society!"
What can a nephew do?
Zhu Houzhao gave a bitter smile.
A subtle sense of resentment still lingers in the text.
We admire the Great Dragon Head.
Who wouldn't be tempted by the secret to immortality?
But can you get something just by having a crush on it?
If it were really that easy...
He made his move a long time ago!
Why would I be sighing and lamenting here?
The Night Emperor smiled faintly.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly looked up.
His burning gaze was fixed on the Night Emperor.
My breathing also became rapid unconsciously.
The Night Emperor pondered for a moment,
In his expectant eyes,
"You can remain calm and restrained, resisting immortality, but others may not be able to."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Qing Emperor and the Song Emperor would never sit idly by and watch this opportunity slip away!"
"In fact, the entire nation of Kyushu will not let go of this slim chance!"
"Therefore, as long as you join forces with them, you still have a glimmer of hope."
"Even if they ultimately fail and form a three-way alliance, they will not dare to act rashly."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's body trembled.
The gloom in his eyes vanished instantly.
Instead, it was replaced by bright light!
He trembled slightly with excitement.
He bowed solemnly and said:
"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle. I understand now!"
Having said that, he turned and left impatiently.
Watching his hurried figure,
The Night Emperor shook his head and chuckled.
Glancing up at the Heavenly Path Golden List,
His expression was meaningful.
Like Zhao Ji and Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Kangxi...
He was writing furiously in the imperial study, his face glowing.
He picked up the seal.
It was heavily covered over both posts.
"Someone! Quickly send this letter to the Great Song and the Great Ming!"
"If any mishap occurs, I will punish the perpetrator severely!"
"The slave obeys the order!"
Two figures stood silently in front of Kangxi.
He respectfully accepted the gold-embossed visiting card.
Amidst the fluttering of their robes.
Chapter 46 Secret Realm
The figure had vanished without a trace.
It was as if they had never stayed here.
