Chapter 402 You Would Fall in the Same Place

Few people knew that there was a flower on Lonely Mountain in Lin’an.

But those who knew it never forgot about it.

Something that stayed in your mind would someday spring up in your life.

Deity believed that.

Since the flower existed, it took root deep in his heart. It was one of the things he had wanted most.

He had no use for the flower now.

But he could give it to someone else.

He had no use for it, but he needed it.

He needed the flower, so he came for it.

That had been the case throughout his life, from childhood to adulthood. He did not ask anyone for help. If he wanted something, he would take it, rob it, and contend for it. The process did not matter as long as he could get it.

He had never considered whether these things belonged to him or not.

For him, whatever he was capable of owning, no matter who it belonged to in the beginning, was his when it was in his hands.

That was not an overbearing manner.

It was a kind of stubbornness that was buried deep in his bone marrow.

Deity didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. The world he lived in as well as they lived in was the Dark World. There was no so-called moral constraint, laws, rules, right or wrong. Only strength dominated everything.

His stubbornness had once made him an outstanding teenager, caused him to be high-spirited and vigorous in his youth, and plunged him into the abyss at the height of his youth. Now he had consumed the greater part of his life and was at an age at which middle age alternated with old age. It once again enabled him to stand on the top of the world.

Stubbornness was not a disadvantage.

It was faith.

A person could have no bottom line or even humanity, but he must have faith.

It was what kept the soul alive.

There was no light in the ruins of Lonely Mountain in the dark.

Deity sat on the tombstone in the rear and also at the highest point of the mountain. He looked down, being preoccupied with his thoughts, and remained silent for a long time.

Wearing a fiery red dress, Phoenix stood quietly beside him, staring affectionately at Deity’s ordinary but extraordinarily real side face.

The cemetery was covered with grass.

When the wind blew across the grass, a subtle but comfortable sound of the wind rang out.

The cemetery was cool, without the heat of midsummer.

Deity remained silent. The entire graveyard became more and more real and even a little depressed with his silence.

Deity was thinking about the flower. It was some time before he waved his hand. “I have not seen the flower, either, but I think it is gorgeous. It’s called the Flourishing Age. It’s the dragon vein of Zhongzhou State, gathering the luck of Zhongzhou State. So the flower is as beautiful as Zhongzhou State.”

He turned to look at Phoenix next to him. “Is Zhongzhou State beautiful?”

“Not as beautiful as Heaven Capital,” Phoenix said softly, without hesitation.

…

Zhongzhou State was the most powerful country in this era. Compared with Zhongzhou State, East Island was a far cry from the former, if not the so-called barbarian land. The territories of Heaven Capital and Zhongzhou State were not comparable.

But for Phoenix, Zhongzhou State was not as good as Heaven Capital.

“The ones that belong to His Highness are the most beautiful,” she whispered.

…

“Hmm.”

There was nothing special about Deity’s expression. He nodded and chuckled. “Zhongzhou State once belonged to me…”

“So Zhongzhou State used to be beautiful.”

Deity chuckled and nodded. “It’s okay. When we get the dragon vein, Zhongzhou State will be ours sooner or later.”

“Dragon vein…”

Phoenix hesitated for a moment.

Deity’s gaze turned and fell on her.

“I heard that dragon vein is…”

She thought about it and suddenly didn’t know what to call the person. “The dragon vein seemed to be given to him by Great Master Wuwei.”

In the end, she could only use a very vague word.

“Yeah.”

Deity nodded calmly. “So now he is the dragon vein and the flower.”

“Then you…”

Phoenix became more hesitant.

“It’s ok.”

Deity said softly, “It’s better to have the dragon vein on him than to watch it disappear. He has a flower on him, and here are the roots. When he is dead and his blood spills on this land, the flower will bloom again.”

His voice was soft and indifferent. “Any flower or plant needs nutrients.”

Phoenix wished to speak but eventually remained silent.

She had a lot to say.

There was a flower on Lonely Mountain.

This flower was the dragon vein.

The Purgatory of Heaven Capital and the Li family were not the only ones who knew that.

In Zhongzhou State, at least the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City also knew the existence of this flower.

And they should also know that it was Li Tianlan who was carrying the dragon vein.

The Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City naturally wanted this flower too.

But the reasons they wanted to kill Li Tianlan had nothing to do with this flower.

Of course, it may be because Kunlun City and the Wang family of Beihai had hidden the fact about this flower. But Phoenix always felt that it sounded too simple to achieve the reactivation of the dragon vein of Zhongzhou State only by sprinkling Li Tianlan’s blood on this land.

“It won’t be too easy.”

Deity seemed to know what Phoenix was worried about. He narrowed his eyes and said, “The Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City naturally want this flower, but they cannot get it. Even if Li Tianlan died, they couldn’t get it, because they dare not pay the price. Since they cannot get it, they won’t think about it. But I’m different. They all say that I am crazy. I don’t care about the cost. Since they are so cowardly, this flower is naturally mine.”

“It’s not cowardice.”

A faint voice sounded.

It was an old voice from far away, but it formed a line across the entire cemetery and sounded in their ears.

Deity stared blankly into the distance.

Phoenix looked down from above.

She was an expert at the Half-step Invincible Realm. Even at night, she could still see things far away.

An old man appeared at the other end of the cemetery.

He seemed to have come in a hurry, so he looked a little haggard, but there was no pause in his steps.

He crossed the tombstones and stepped over the grass.

The figure was old and stooped. It moved swiftly like a shadow and was soon in front of them.

Phoenix hesitated, still bowing subconsciously.

Li Honghe, who had rushed to Lin’an from Youzhou, didn’t look at Phoenix. He just looked at Deity.

The tombstone was high. As Deity was sitting on it, Li Honghe needed to look up.

The air quieted down for a while, and it seemed that even the wind was silent.

They hadn’t seen each other for more than twenty years. Everything was so strange and yet so familiar.

Deity looked at Li Honghe quietly.

The two stared at each other, one looking down and the other looking up, both expressionless.

Li Honghe’s aura was still weak.

But little by little, his pupils contracted, and his eyebrows also raised.

“Come down!”

He looked at Deity on the tombstone and said with a majestic tone, like a command.

“Are you angry?”

Deity chuckled in a reunion as if they hadn’t seen each other in a lifetime.

His smile was mild, but the luster in his eyes was gradually distorted.

He patted the tombstone where he was sitting.

His movements were not heavy, but the entire tombstone shook, and the huge tombstone was already vaguely cracked.

“Because of this?” Deity asked.

…

“Come down!”

Li Honghe’s voice was deep, similar to howling.

He had fallen down the Invincible Realm now, with a weak aura and insufficient combat strength, but at this moment, he was showing awe and fierceness that would make anyone’s blood freeze. He was like an old lion whose territory had been touched by others. Old as he was, he could still wave his sharp claws.

Deity jumped down from the tombstone.

The tombstone was really tall, even taller than him.

So Deity needed to look up when looking at the tombstone.

“Xue Jingcheng’s tomb,” he read, looking at the gravestone impassively.

…

His back was to Li Honghe. In the night of midsummer, his voice was like the chilly wind from hell, smelling incomparably cold and bloody. “I can probably understand how these gravestones stand in your heart. Those who lie here are the heroes of the Li family. For the sake of the Li family, they devoted themselves without complaint or regret until they slept forever. Every drop of blood, every wound, every life of the people in this cemetery is their contribution to the Li family. Therefore, this place is supreme and cannot be profaned in your heart, and you will not allow me to sit on it. In your heart, this is my disrespect for the dead, right?”

Li Honghe’s face twitched. He didn’t speak.

“But why should I respect them?”

Deity’s voice remained cold. He didn’t turn back but pointed at the tombstone in front of him. “Who is Xue Jingcheng? He is my brother! He was the first guard to follow me, and we were on very intimate terms. When he was alive, we drank wine, ate meat, killed enemies, and graduated from the Sky Academy together. Most of the time, I was him, he was me. He was my most trusted brother.”

Li Honghe remained silent.

Deity turned around. “Of course, this was the case when he was alive.

“We said we would live and die together. Now that I’m alive and he’s dead, why should I respect him? Does my brother need respect?”

He looked into Li Honghe’s eyes, his face a little ferocious, but his voice was oppressively soft. “Does he? Does he?”

“Boom!”

The huge tombstone was suddenly shattered into numerous pieces.

The stones were flying in the sky, carrying smoke and dust, and were blown away by the wind.

The night was getting quieter.

“He needs to be alive.”

Deity lowered his voice. His palm crossed Li Honghe, pointing at the tombstones in his sight. “Everyone here needs to be alive, not respect. As one dies, he’s like an extinguished oil lamp. Does respect mean anything?”

Deity approached Li Honghe, looking at Li Honghe’s old but still firm eyes. “It was the Li family that killed them, but when it comes to you and me…”

He paused and then stressed, “Who the hell killed them, you or me?!”

“You hate me,” Li Honghe said, looking into Deity’s eyes.

…

“I cannot afford to hate you.”

Deity shook his head. “But you were too pedantic, holding on to the ties of friendship. What happened to you today is karma. But those in the cemetery are my brothers. They shouldn’t end up like this, but they had all been implicated by your pedantry. You’re guilty, and your sins are unforgivable.

“I made three attempts at that time, but you stopped me. Before that, you were the person I admired the most and the greatest person in my heart. But after the establishment of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, you were the person I hated the most. You cherished your friendship with the Wang family of Beihai, but how did the Wang family of Beihai treat you? I had three chances, and each time, I was at least 50 percent sure that I could swallow the Wang family of Beihai. At that time, the Li family was the strongest in Zhongzhou State!”

Deity sneered and looked at Li Honghe. “They were all ruined by you, you! Tell me, what’s the use of the friendship you cherished?”

Li Honghe’s eyes gradually became complicated.

“You still haven’t repented.”

He said softly, “You still think you’re right.”

“I was wrong.”

Deity took a deep breath. “I was wrong that I should not have been stopped by you, and that I did not fully realize your pedantry. Ha, friendship? Have you ever seen a friendship that can last for hundreds of years? Every generation inside the Wang family of Beihai undergoes a purge, and they’re all seeking change. From the outsiders’ points of view, isn’t this internal cannibalism? Would you believe in the friendship of such a family? What are you thinking of, old chap? For hundreds of years, the Li family had been close to the Wang family of Beihai, not because of the so-called friendship, but because we were strong enough!

“What is the so-called friendship? Bullshit! If it had been you who died more than twenty years ago instead of the one in the Wang family of Beihai, and if Wang Tianzong had entered the Invincible Realm earlier than I had, considering the moral standards of the people in the Wang family of Beihai and facing the weak us, do you think they would have let us go? What did I do wrong? Tell me, what did I do wrong then? I just made a choice that anyone would make!”

“Everything you say is your assumption. If you hadn’t done that, how could the Li family be where it is today?” Li Honghe said.

“Assumption? If you hadn’t stopped me then, how could the Li family be in such a terrible state today? None of the people here would die, and today we would be even mightier, and our words would carry weight!”

Deity’s voice was sharp and violent.

A gust seemed to arise in the cemetery because of his momentum.

The wind was howling.

Li Honghe fell silent in the howling wind.

Deity, too, fell silent, looking back at the large graveyard in his sight.

It took a long time before Li Honghe said slowly, “The cause of those days makes today’s effect. What’s the point of saying this when it’s already happened?”

His eyes grew quiet.

Once silence lost its temperature, it became very cold.

“What are you doing here today?” he asked straightforwardly.

…

“I’m here to get my thing back.”

Deity said, “There is a flower here, and I want that flower. At any cost!”

“At any cost?”

Li Honghe’s mouth twitched, with a touch of mockery. “Do you need that flower?”

Deity beckoned to a woman.

In a fiery red dress, the beautiful Phoenix took two steps forward.

Deity put his arms around Phoenix’s still slender, soft waist. “This is my woman.”

He looked at Li Honghe and said, “Now she’s pregnant with my son, so you have a grandson again. Are you happy?”

Li Honghe’s pupils suddenly contracted.

“I don’t need that flower.”

Deity said indifferently, “But my son can use it. It was a flower prepared for Huawu. Now that Huawu has been killed, the son of Phoenix and me are still named Huawu. He still needs that flower.”

“This flower was not prepared for you.”

Li Honghe said quietly, “I know Huawu. He was killed, and my heart ached. But if he were in the Thunder-shocking Realm with Tianlan at the same time, he would never be Tianlan’s match. Neither Huawu nor the unborn baby can afford this flower!”

The sound of the wind was even sadder and shriller.

Deity remained silent for a long time before he said expressionlessly, “Nonsense!”

A cold light flashed through Li Honghe’s eyes. Before he could say anything more, Deity waved his hand.

“You can’t stop me.”

He said coldly, “It’s like I cannot stop you. We have different ideas. It’s like playing chess. You say you are good at chess, why don’t you play it with me? You plan to take Tiannan as the chessboard and let Li Tianlan replace me and take over the whole Purgatory of Heaven Capital. But I want this flower and want Huawu to replace Li Tianlan. I still have time to play with you and your good grandson, if you can afford it.”

“You’re still not convinced.”

Li Honghe’s tone was complicated. His voice drifted in the wind, like crying and laughing, painful to the extreme.

“If you agree to bet, you must accept to lose.”

Deity said lightly, “How am I supposed to lose before I start gambling?”

Deity continued, “Phoenix will live here until the flower bloom. She can stand on her own two feet. Of course, if you’d like to take care of her, I’d appreciate it. When I bring the flower back, we may as well see who is right and who is wrong.”

…

Li Honghe was silent.

Deity couldn’t bring that flower back.

Definitely.

All he could bring back was the body of Li Tianlan.

Li Honghe turned and calmly said, “Come with me.”

He slowly walked out of the graveyard.

Deity and Phoenix followed him without a word.

The three passed the wooden houses and the construction site again, walked to the other side of Lonely Mountain, entered the former boundary of Mount Qingyun, and then came to the ruins of Qingyun Temple.

Mount Qingyun collapsed, and Qingyun Temple was destroyed.

But there were still spots of white fog in the middle of the night.

Li Honghe’s figure stopped somewhere.

He pointed to the ground and looked at Deity. “What do you see?”

Deity glanced down and narrowed his eyes. “Is the white fog the remaining luck?”

Li Honghe didn’t answer his question and just asked calmly, “Can you see anything but white fog?”

…

Deity frowned.

The white fog in his sight was thin, and he could see the ground clearly.

The ground was flat and empty.

“What are you trying to say?” he asked impatiently.

…

Li Honghe smiled. It was a mocking smile.

Their original relationship turned sour now. This smile should be of mixed feelings.

“How about you?”

Li Honghe looked at Phoenix. “What do you see?”

“I…”

Phoenix hesitated, looked at Deity, and then looked at the ground again.

She reached out and pointed at the ground, whispering, “It looks like a rhizome…”

Rhizome?

Deity raised his eyebrows. The ground was still empty in his sight.

“Since you harbor evil intentions, how can you see the dragon vein?”

Li Honghe said coldly, “Don’t you understand yet? You can’t see the dragon vein. This flower had nothing to do with you from the beginning. No one took sides with anyone. I didn’t, and neither did Wuwei.”

Deity narrowed his eyes and looked at Phoenix.

Phoenix’s face was a little pale, but she nodded and reached out, pointing at the ground carefully.

Deity was silent for a long time.

It was a long time before he laughed.

“It’s ok.”

He whispered, “What if I can’t see it? You can see it, after all.”

“Do you think I will support you?”

Li Honghe looked at Deity expressionlessly.

He looked at the man who was his son in terms of blood relationship.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Deity said flatly, “If Li Tianlan is dead, you can only support me.”

He turned slowly.

“Lin’an is a good place. I have an appointment here, and someone has an appointment with me here too.”

He walked toward the outside world. “Wait here until I bring the flower back.”

Phoenix subconsciously wanted to follow him, but thinking of the child in her belly, she stood still in front of Li Honghe.

Li Honghe watched Deity leave.

He said, “You cannot succeed.”

…

Deity did not respond and moved on.

Li Honghe laughed. He raised his voice gradually, and it echoed in the ethereal white fog. “You will fall in the same place.”

His voice was firm. “Twice!”

…

Someone did make an appointment with Deity.

And Deity also made an appointment with someone else.

The person who made an appointment with Deity set the location at Lin’an’s West Lake Club.

So Deity decided to meet another person here, in the same private room.

The fact that both meetings were held at the same place spoke volumes about Deity’s confidence.

The clubhouse was not far from Lonely Mountain, probably three kilometers.

Deity stepped into the club at the appointed time and walked into the private room that the other party had booked.

There was red wine in the private room.

The bottle of red wine had just been opened, and the aroma was volatilizing. A stack of fruit trays and a goblet were placed in front of the red wine.

A laptop computer that was on was a little further away from the fruit trays.

A video call was connected through the computer.

In the video, a slightly big and tall figure appeared on the screen. It was a somewhat sturdy man with short hair and a mask, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

Deity stepped into the private room. As he saw this weird scene, he narrowed his eyes.

“Welcome, Your Highness.”

The man on the laptop screen laughed, his voice soft and deep, with magnetism. “Should I call you Deity? Or Marshal Li?”

“You asked me out?”

Deity laughed.

His voice was cold and fierce, and it sounded a little crazy. “It’s interesting, really interesting. You asked me to meet in good faith. I came here from East Island, and you met me through this laptop?”

“Sorry.”

On the screen, the man’s voice was faint and sounded insincere. “I don’t think it has to be a face-to-face meeting. As long as we can talk about something that interests both of us, whether it’s through a video call or a real meeting, the meaning is the same.”

“If you want to have a video call with me, you can do it in Heaven Capital.”

Deity smiled coldly. “You asked me here to have a video call. Are you kidding me?”

The man was silent for a while.

“I didn’t mean that.”

He whispered, “I hope that Marshal Li does not get me wrong. It’s just that I’ve had a little accident here. For the safety of both of us, I think it’s the best way to meet here right now. And I knew Marshal Li would come to Lin’an. For the sake of the flower, you would come to Lin’an too.”

His voice grew softer. “I guess it’s time to confirm the gender of your baby, right? Phoenix is a beautiful woman. You have a good eye, Marshal Li.”

Deity suddenly fell silent.

In the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, the news of Phoenix’s pregnancy was truly top-secret.

Even Daybreak and Dawn, his most trusted subordinates, did not know the news.

Deity remained silent for a moment, looking at the screen and asking coldly, “Who are you?”

…

“You can call me Your Highness. Of course, I prefer another address. You can call me Your Majesty.”

Quite many people in the Dark World had the title “His Highness”.

Every Invincible Realm expert could be called His Highness.

Some people with distinguished identities, such as Wang Shengxiao, Wang Yuetong, Qin Weibai, and heirs of the royal family of various countries, could also use this title.

But His Majesty…

Only one in the Dark World could use that title.

Deity laughed, and his laughter was a little crazy. “How dare you, an unknown guy, call yourself Your Majesty?”

“Your Majesty is Your Majesty. Does it need a prefix? Just like Wang Tianzong, how ridiculous is it to add ‘Sword Emperor’ in front of his title? Your Majesty is Your Majesty, the only one.”

The man’s voice was low and gentle.

Deity’s laughter stopped, and he stared at the screen in front of him.

“Is Liusheng Cangquan your man?” he asked suddenly.

…

It was Liusheng Cangquan, the leader of Jifeng Sword-reining School and the Invincible Realm great master who was known as the Sword Sage of East Island, brokered the meeting this time.

“This question… I was not sure a few days ago. But now… yes, he is my follower.”

The man on the screen laughed elegantly.

“Sword Sage of East Island is your follower.”

Deity repeated it and sneered slightly, “You’re indeed generous.”

“In my opinion, he is a follower and has no other identity.”

The man said gently, “If you think I’m trespassing on your territory, Your Majesty, I can ask Liusheng Cangquan to withdraw from East Island with Jifeng Sword-reining School. I want to cooperate with you, so please believe my sincerity. There are things I’m willing to compromise on.”

Deity sneered but didn’t say anything.

Liusheng Cangquan withdrew from East Island.

Deity was okay with that, of course. In the current pattern of East Island, Wuji Palace and Jifeng Sword-reining School seemed to have bowed their heads to the Purgatory of Heaven Capital, but the internal game had never stopped. If Jifeng Sword-reining School quit, the Purgatory of Heaven Capital could suppress Wuji Palace, unify the Dark World of East Island, and hold the authority of the entire Special Warfare System in its hands in the fastest possible time.

But such an ending was not something the royal family wanted to see.

So even if Jifeng Sword-reining School wanted to quit, and even if the Mikado knew that Liusheng Cangquan became a follower of this mysterious Highness or Majesty, the royal family would not let Jifeng Sword-reining School and Liusheng Cangquan leave.

It was a necessary means of counterbalancing the Purgatory of Heaven Capital.

So what the other side said about quitting and sincerity were all nonsense.

The man on the screen gradually became silent.

It took a long time before he whispered, “You don’t seem to trust me completely.”

“Cut the crap.”

Deity said flatly, “Get down to business.”

“The business…”

The man on the screen repeated it and then laughed out. “The business, of course, is Eastern Europe… What does Marshal Li think of the chaos in Eastern Europe?”

“I can’t see through it,” Deity said lightly.

…

The chaos in Eastern Europe would only get messier, far from being clear. For now, no one could see through it.

“You can’t see through it, Marshal Li, but you’re in on it, aren’t you?”

The man who claimed to be His Majesty smiled and said, “The Purgatory of Heaven Capital is very strong, supported by the former experts of the Li family. There are plenty of masters inside it. However, if possible, you certainly need experts in the Invincible Realm, don’t you?

“Liusheng Cangquan is not bad, and so is Swordsman of Jifeng Sword-reining School. If Marshal Li needs them, you can take them with you on this trip to Eastern Europe. They might come in handy as dogs or cannon fodder. As for what they get, whether it’s benefit or power, it can be handed over to the Purgatory of Heaven Capital unconditionally. As for the internal situation of East Island, after the chaos in Eastern Europe is over, Jifeng Sword-reining School can also follow your lead. What do you think?”

He chuckled and said, “With one more Invincible Realm servile follower and more than ten top swordsmen, it is still helpful for your plan to conquer Eastern Europe, isn’t it?”

“What do you want?”

Deity narrowed his eyes.

An Invincible Realm servile follower.

That was a very bold statement.

Invincible Realm experts represented the top combat power in the Dark World. Anything involving an Invincible Realm expert could be considered a major event of the Dark World.

An Invincible Realm servile follower?

In the Dark World, no one, even Deity himself, dared to say so except for the person in front of him.

And Liusheng Cangquan was not the most common Invincible Realm expert.

He was the Sword Sage of East Island!

“Simple, just one life,” the man said lightly.

…

“Who’s life?”

Deity looked at the screen and told a sick joke. “Wang Tianzong?”

The answer from the other side was even colder than his sick joke. “Wang Tianzong has too many restrictions to make me fear. In some ways, you, too, have quite many restrictions, and I’m not afraid of you, Marshal Li. I do not deny your strength, but, indeed, I’m not afraid of you, and that is why I’m looking for your cooperation.”

“Who is that?” Deity asked, looking at the screen.

…

The one on the screen hesitated and finally said, “Qin Weibai.”

“As long as Marshal Li killed Qin Weibai in Eastern Europe, you are my firmest ally. It doesn’t seem to conflict with your plan. You should want to kill Li Tianlan, don’t you?”

The man’s tone was flat and slow. “I think of a joke. It’s not very funny, but it’s true. Many people in Zhongzhou State want to kill Li Tianlan, including Wang Tianzong, Gu Xingyun, and a group of big shots from the Prince Group. I do not deny their wisdom. But in this case, they acted like jerks. It’s a bad word, but they’re really stupid. They will never understand that as long as Qin Weibai is alive, they cannot kill Li Tianlan. You are very wise, Marshal Li, so I think you should understand that. Even if you didn’t understand, you should after I told you.”

“Why should I believe you?”

Deity’s tone was cold.

“You don’t need to believe me. It doesn’t matter.”

The man said with a smile, “I’m just offering you help. And at the same time, I ask you to help me kill Qin Weibai. As long as she’s dead, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. At that time, it’ll be easy to kill Li Tianlan.”

Deity was indifferent and silent.

It took a long time before he asked softly, “Any reason?”

…

“No reason.”

The man shook his head. “A few days ago, I was certain of something, so she must die. If there’s a reason, that should be she knows too much.”

Deity seemed to be making a choice.

The man said, laughing, “If you fear Lin Fengting, I can also offer some help. I have another follower who has just been crowned by the Pope. Although he is no match for Lin Fengting, he can keep him at bay for a while.”

…

To be crowned by the Pope!

Deity’s body seemed to shake.

“Qin Weibai can fully trust the Lin Clan. It can even be said that she can only fully trust the Lin Clan apart from Li Tianlan. As for the reason… the Lin Clan accepted an apprentice many years ago. However, the past is gone, and it doesn’t matter anymore. The only thing that matters is that Qin Weibai is also important to the Lin Clan. On the Eastern European battlefield, my man can temporarily restrain Lin Fengting, but the Lin Clan may target the Purgatory of Heaven Capital. It’s up to you to choose.”

The man whispered, “If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can give the Purgatory of Heaven Capital everything that Jifeng Sword-reining School will get and even a part of what the Vatican will get from the chaos of Eastern Europe without reservation.”

“Is it worth it?” Deity asked, narrowing his eyes.

…

What Jifeng Sword-reining School would get and a part of what the Vatican would get was destined to be abundant.

And this time, in the chaos of Eastern Europe, only two people in the Vatican were crowned by the Pope: Aresis and the vice marshal of the Holy Disarmament Corps.

It was impossible to be Aresis.

Thus, the so-called follower could only be the vice marshal of the Holy Disarmament Corps.

Deity didn’t know how much effort it took the vice marshal to get to that position. Once the other side gave the Purgatory of Heaven Capital a portion of what the Vatican would get, it meant that their painstaking effort in the Vatican was wasted.

Just to kill Qin Weibai.

Was it really worth it?

“It’s worth it.”

The man spoke calmly and resolutely, “It’s definitely worth it.”
