Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's brows furrowed instantly.

"If you're willing to help me investigate Gu Qianhan and the people around him, I won't stop you."

"But if you continue to have such unrealistic ideas, you will die without a burial place."

"Not to mention that we might not be able to win over Gu Qianhan, we might not even be able to see him."

"Just like you said, he is now considered the darling of Xuanwu Kingdom, the supreme master of swordsmanship."

"For so many years, the Xuanwu Kingdom has never produced a supreme sword master."

"Do you think the Xuanwu Kingdom would allow you to lead your men there in a high-profile manner to arrest people?"

"Moreover, he can stop that Heavenly Comet Dragon with a single palm strike, which alone is something we cannot contend with."

"And speaking of that post-apocalyptic mech, take my advice: activating this mech is not a good thing."

Upon hearing this, the prince of Ster was somewhat unconvinced.

"If you don't want to activate this mech, then why did you even build it?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi looked around and sighed when he realized that only he and his son were there.

"This apocalyptic mech was created to deal with the Heavenly Rakshasa and some other uncertain factors."

Upon hearing this, the prince of Ster was taken aback.

"Heavenly Rakshasa? An uncertain factor?"

"Wasn't that Rakshasa killed twenty-three years ago?"

Bai Qi shook his head at this.

"No, the Heavenly Rakshasa wouldn't be killed so easily. What he calls being killed is more like being temporarily sealed away."

"Heaven and Earth Rakshasa, he is immortal."

He certainly knew his father, the Heavenly Rakshasa.

Although their side narrowly won the epic battle twenty-three years ago, the Heaven and Earth Rakshasa, the true form of the Blood Demon, was obtained by the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family, and the corresponding combat data and the blood genes of the powerful beings were also obtained by the Ster Kingdom.

He knew, however, that the Heavenly Rakshasa had only entered a state of suspended animation.

Because as long as the Blood Demon exists in this world, he will never truly perish.

He understood this principle, and Mo Lang naturally understood it too, but his friend Mo Lang wanted to go against the tide.

He wanted to collect all the Blood Demon clones scattered throughout the world. After collecting them all, he would burn his own blood essence to perish together with the Blood Demons.

Mo Lang believed that only in this way could the demons of heaven and earth be truly eradicated from this world.

Bai Qi was unwilling to see his friend sacrifice himself for his bastard father in vain.

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Bai Qi and Mo Lang have parted ways. Mo Lang is also aware of this, but he has already made his decision.

Bai Qi knew that once Mo Lang set his mind on something, he would do it no matter how difficult it was along the way.

This is one point; to avoid such a thing from happening, he perfected and created a brand new post-apocalyptic mech.

On the other hand, Bai Qi has been having a strange nightmare.

In his dream, two figures whose faces he couldn't make out were constantly fighting.

Their horrific battles caused the world to collapse completely, and everyone perished as a result.

If it were just once or twice, Bai Qi wouldn't have taken it seriously, but he had this nightmare almost every night.

Moreover, it has become increasingly frequent recently, causing him to become somewhat mentally exhausted.

It was precisely because of this strange incident that he believed the performance of the post-apocalyptic mechs needed to be improved to another level.

If one day the post-apocalyptic mechs are truly forced to activate, that will surely be the end of this world.

He didn't want to see that day come.

The prince of St. St. didn't understand this principle; at his age, he was at the age where he was prone to fighting and brawling.

Bai Qi knew without guessing that he still harbored resentment towards Gu Qianhan for crippling his arm.

Not only that, he also learned that his "son" was secretly investigating the affairs of those high-ranking nobles, especially some of the things that the deceased Grand Duke Mack had done.

"Kid, I'm glad you have this intention, but you also need to know what it means to act within your means, because too much of a good thing can be bad."

"There are some things that are not for you to meddle in right now, you know what I mean?"

The prince of St. St. simply snorted in response.

"Are you really willing to just watch them jump around in front of you?"

"I can leave Gu Qianhan's matter aside for now, but the attitude of the leader of the Three-Phase Power towards you just now made me very uncomfortable."

"I can't swallow this insult."

After saying this, the prince of St. St. adjusted his glasses and left.

Seeing the other person leave, Bai Qi sighed helplessly.

...............

Northern part of Xuanwu Kingdom.

Plum Blossom Villa.

"Thank you, Great Hero Plum Blossom, for being willing to see this humble monk."

Huikong was sitting opposite Plum Blossom Hero at this moment, and nodded respectfully to him.

The Plum Blossom Hero simply nodded slightly in response.

“I am a close friend of your master, the Eyeless Master, despite our age difference, and we are also chess partners. It is only right that I meet you.”

The Plum Blossom Hero's face was still somewhat pale, clearly indicating that the injuries he sustained from Gu Qianhan had not fully healed.

It makes sense, considering that he first defeated his opponent in meditation, and then his signature Plum Blossom Sword Technique was broken by the opponent's [Flower Sword Finger - Hundred Flowers Wither].

Finally, he was slapped away by the other party.

Although the opponent held back their strength in the final blow, it still caused him considerable internal injuries.

At this moment, the Plum Blossom Hero took a sip of the tea in front of him, interrupting the monk Huikong who was about to speak.

"Now you have also inherited the mantle of the Eyeless Master and become the National Preceptor of my Xuanwu Kingdom. Your master, the Eyeless Master, would be pleased to know this."

"only."

At this point, the Plum Blossom Hero gently put down his teacup, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

"It's just that I'm used to being a carefree person, and although Plum Blossom Manor is located in the snowy mountains of northern Xuanwu Kingdom, I still find it peaceful and leisurely."

“I’m old and my legs aren’t very strong, not to mention my young children who need my care.”

"As you should know, my swordsmanship is passed down only to men, not women. He is my only son and the continuation of my Plum Blossom lineage."

"Compared to the loneliness of being high up in the imperial court, I prefer to live a carefree and leisurely life far from the court."

At this point, Plum Blossom Hero squinted at the monk Huikong, who was sitting opposite him, speechless after being rebuked.

"National Master Huikong, can you understand my predicament?"

Hearing this, Huikong sighed. He had met this Plum Blossom Hero a few times before when he accompanied his master, the Eyeless Master.

He also admired the other person's detached attitude towards life.

However, he had volunteered to persuade the Plum Blossom Hero in front of the Emperor, and if he returned empty-handed, he would not be able to explain it to the Emperor.

"Master Plum Blossom, I understand what you have to say, but I still sincerely want to give you some advice."
