Emperor Qing thought subconsciously.
Even a Grandmaster doesn't have this method of shielding his own aura.
With just this one move, even if Lu Xiao was only at the ninth rank, he was enough to pose a threat to the Grandmaster.
After all, the Grandmaster is also a human being. If he is caught off guard and a sharp blade pierces his vitals, he will die.
Of course, Emperor Qing didn't know that Lu Xiao's tactics were not the methods used in the Joy of Life world.
But the world of Dafeng.
A fifth-grade warrior can perfectly control all of his strength, not wasting a single bit, and his aura is also within the limit.
Fortunately, Emperor Qing is not only the Grand Master, but also the Emperor.
Such a strong character is rare in the world.
In an instant, he hid his true emotions.
Then he looked at Lu Xiao's legs with a puzzled look, and after a long while he asked.
"Are you imitating Chen Pingping?"
Lu Xiao shook his head and said with a smile, "That's not the case. The dean is truly disabled. I just had a minor problem with my training recently, and I'm temporarily unable to use the energy and blood in my legs. It will be fine in a few days."
Emperor Qing, of course, didn't believe it. "Oh? It's so serious! That won't do. You're the leading martial artist of the younger generation in Daqing. How could you be so careless? Someone, call the imperial physician, have Master Lu take a look."
Emperor Qing hated being deceived the most.
However, he said this in a very kind manner, as if he really cared about his younger generation.
Of course Lu Xiao would not refuse Emperor Qing's kindness.
He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chapter 143 Four Twos and Two Kings
Inside the Imperial Study.
The imperial physician who was checking Lu Xiao's pulse had a frown on his face.
Emperor Qing, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but think.
"Isn't he pretending?"
From the first moment he saw Lu Xiao, Emperor Qing judged that he was a very unruly person.
Because even when Lu Xiao was looking at him, there was still an inexplicable arrogance in his eyes.
So after he made that excuse, Emperor Qing immediately thought he was pretending.
He just didn't want to kneel down.
To be honest, Emperor Qing was very unhappy.
Because no one has dared to treat him in this way for many years.
The last person like this died a tragic death.
But with the arrival of the imperial physician, Emperor Qing gradually began to doubt his own judgment.
At this moment, the imperial physician had been examining the patient's pulse for almost an incense stick of time, but still hadn't made a diagnosis.
But anyone could tell from his face that he must have encountered some difficult and complicated illness at this time.
And it's a very painful kind.
"What's wrong?"
Emperor Qing couldn't help but ask.
The imperial physician quickly turned around and replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I am a humble servant with limited knowledge and experience, and I cannot treat Lord Lu's injuries."
Emperor Qing didn't care about this and asked, "Is Lu Xiao seriously injured?"
The imperial physician nodded. "Very serious. Lord Lu has at least five extremely powerful zhenqi within his body. These five zhenqi are clashing with each other, nearly crippling the meridians in his legs. I've never seen such symptoms before. Logically, no matter how many martial arts techniques one has practiced, a person should only have one type of zhenqi within their body. If it were anyone else, even two zhenqi clashing would likely render them completely disabled, let alone five."
After hearing the seriousness of the imperial physician's words, Emperor Qing had to put aside his suspicions, no matter how suspicious he was.
What the doctor said was actually correct.
In the conventional sense, a person can only have one kind of true qi in his body.
Unless the technique is special.
But Lu Xiao was obviously not among them.
Of his five true energies, only one was actually his own, and the other four were powers from other worlds.
Because it is the same self, those powers are usually integrated with his own true qi, and are essentially still one kind of true qi.
But if necessary, Lu Xiao could also separate them.
It seems that the effect is similar to what the imperial physician said.
Of course, there was only a superficial conflict; in reality, the conflicts between these energies were all deliberately manipulated by Lu Xiao.
As for the complete destruction of the meridians in both legs, it was simply a matter of acupuncture and meridian severance.
When the imperial physician took Lu Xiao's pulse, he could hardly feel the meridians in his legs, so he naturally made this judgment.
After putting aside his doubts, Emperor Qing waved his hand to dismiss the imperial physician, then looked at Lu Xiao.
"How did you get yourself into this state?"
Lu Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I tried to break through to the ninth rank a few days ago, so I accidentally ended up like this. I'm sorry to have troubled you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qing was stunned at first, and then his eyes were instantly filled with shock.
"Break through the ninth rank? You want to become a Grandmaster?"
Lu Xiao didn't find it strange at all that he was surprised.
So, with a look of regret on his face, he said, "Indeed, I've been at the peak of the Ninth Rank for some time now. A few days ago, I felt I had accumulated enough, and in a moment of arrogance, I wanted to give it a try and see if I could reach the Grandmaster realm. Unfortunately, I fell short in the end. I only took half a step forward, and ended up like this."
Upon hearing Lu Xiao's words, Emperor Qing's immediate reaction was to kill Lu Xiao.
There are already enough Grandmasters in this world, and he absolutely does not want to see a new one appear.
Emperor Qing was a very ambitious emperor.
He is also very capable.
He has always believed that if there is no Grandmaster.
He had already unified the entire world.
This is not because he is arrogant, but because he really has the ability.
Therefore, for many years, he has always been planning a big thing in his mind.
That is to kill all the other Grand Masters.
This situation has been in the works for more than 20 years.
So, when he heard Lu Xiao say that he was almost able to break through and become a Grandmaster, he really had the urge to kill him.
But at this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly smiled and said.
"Your Majesty seems to want to kill me?"
Very straightforward question.
Emperor Qing's expression had changed: "Why do you ask this, Lord Lu?"
Lu Xiao said, "I know Your Majesty has great ambitions and has always dreamed of unifying the world and becoming the greatest emperor of all time. However, the presence of the two Grandmasters from Northern Qi and Dongyi City has hindered your ambitions, preventing you from fulfilling them. I suspect you must resent the Grandmasters."
At this moment, Emperor Qing had already made up his mind that he would never let Lu Xiao leave the palace alive today.
So when he spoke, he was much more frank.
"That's right, Grandmasters shouldn't exist."
Lu Xiao remained calm. "Yeah, I'm afraid no one would have thought that one of the four great Grandmasters would actually think that Grandmasters shouldn't exist. It's really ridiculous."
After hearing this, Emperor Qing suddenly lost his composure and subconsciously wanted to deny it.
"What did you say?"
Lu Xiao spoke slowly, "As I said earlier, although I failed to break through, I did take a half-step forward. It was precisely this half-step that allowed me to master certain abilities only possessed by a Grandmaster. Therefore, the moment I laid eyes on you, Your Majesty, I sensed the aura of a Grandmaster. Your Majesty is truly well-hidden. I deeply admire you for this. If this news were to reach Northern Qi and Dongyi City, I'm afraid Ku He and Si Gu Jian would desperately join forces to assassinate you."
As he said this, Xiao began to mobilize the vital energy of heaven and earth around him.
In the world of Joy of Life, the biggest difference between a ninth-rank master and a grandmaster is whether or not one can draw upon the power of heaven and earth.
A ninth-grade warrior, even one at the peak of the ninth grade, still uses the true qi in his body when fighting.
But Grandmasters are different. They can draw upon the power of heaven and earth to fight against others, and one unit of true qi can exert ten or even a hundred times the power.
This is why the Grandmaster is invincible.
Even if the two people's internal Qi is similar, a Grandmaster can kill a ninth-grade upper-level cultivator in a single thought.
At the same time, Emperor Qing also sensed the changes in the surrounding heaven and earth's vital energy, and finally became convinced that Lu Xiao's current realm had far surpassed the ordinary ninth rank, and was infinitely close to the realm of a 2.6th master of a major sect.
However, after hearing Lu Xiao's words, his murderous intent suddenly became even stronger.
"Are you threatening me?"
Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand me. I dare not threaten you. I am loyal to Daqing, as the heavens and earth bear witness to, as the sun and the moon bear witness to. However, I do not wish to die, so I can only tell you some facts for your majesty to hear."
"Although my breakthrough failed, I did gain something. So, Your Majesty, if you intend to kill me, please consider carefully. I know I cannot defeat you now, but if I want to escape, I should still be able to do so. Even if you want to kill me, Your Majesty, it will inevitably cause a big commotion, and then the secret you have carefully hidden for so many years will be lost. Your Majesty is wise and should understand that what I said is absolutely true and comes from the heart."
Chapter 144 Adding fuel to the fire
What is the most difficult conspiracy in this world?
There is only one answer.
Overt conspiracy.
What is an open conspiracy?
Overt schemes are like the bright pieces on a chessboard, carefully planned at every step. Even if you can see through the secrets, you still have no choice but to step into the open trap.
It is like the wind on the mountaintop, roaring down with great momentum. Even if you know there is an abyss ahead, you can only go with the flow.
Because the universe is the board game, the human heart is the chess piece, and people are already in the board game.
Someone scoffed: "Conspiracy is like a dagger in a dark alley, it cannot be seen in the light."
Yang Mou sneered, "Why hide? I use the sun and moon as my lamps, the rivers as my blades, and I will crush all your schemes with honor."
The most powerful thing about an open conspiracy is that it is not concealed.
As the saying goes: Conspiracies are full of loopholes, but open plots are unsolvable.
Overt conspiracy is like a giant sword hanging from the sky, slowly descending, everyone sees its sharp edge, but no one can stop it.
Because this sword is the karma handed down by all living beings.
At this moment, Lu Xiao was plotting against Emperor Qing.
Long before he came to the palace, he had actually already thought about how to face Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing summoned me, it must be because of Lin Gong.
But no matter what, Lin Gong and Lu Xiao were destined to be killed.
Because Lu Xiao wanted to use this incident to set a rule for Inspection 04 and the entire Nanqing.
This rule is: the state law is strict and no one is allowed to show favoritism.
In fact, Lu Xiao himself didn't care about this.
Because there are always exceptions to everything, and sometimes he himself is that exception.
But if a person really wants to stand at the highest point.
You must establish a personality for yourself that is recognized by the world.
This character definitely cannot be a "villain," after all, villains are unpopular.
At the very least, everyone in the world can consider him a "villain".
As for Lin Gong, whether it is from his identity or the impact of his case.
