I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 364. Governor Mansion

Upon hearing that Azure Dragon was about to break through to Manifesting Saint, Lu Li immediately became intrigued.

He had never even spoken to "Saint True Monarch", lacking a substantial understanding of the realm.

If he could witness Azure Dragon’s breakthrough, he would undoubtedly reap great benefits.

But given their enmity, how could the Shen Family possibly allow Lu Li to observe?

This matter required careful consideration, so Lu Li momentarily set aside his thoughts and returned to the Dragon Sect with the others.

The trip had been quite smooth, not only completing the mission with perfection but also gaining a deeper understanding of the Innate Realm.

At the same time, he had acquired the vitally important "Laser Eyes" skill, as well as rescuing a pair of "Cat Ears Sisters".

The two girls were from the Four Spirits White Tiger, a matter of great significance.

Xia Weiyun naturally wanted to inform her master quickly, but Li Yuanzhong and Zhen Yangzi had yet to return.

The two Daoist Masters were headed to the Governor Mansion to face three Great Grandmasters, on the latter’s home ground, no less—definitely not an easy task.

Xia Weiyun gazed towards Lu State, a touch of concern appearing on her face...

~~~~~~~~~~

In fact, the reason Li Yuanzhong made this trip was to ask Shen Xing in person—why?

The old Taoist had known Shen Xing for many years and thought they understood each other well.

He was very puzzled... why had the other party colluded with Chuyun? And even gotten involved with Ice Soul Powder?

Especially after arriving at the Governor Mansion, looking at the grand estate that encompassed the entirety of Chaohu, Li Yuanzhong’s doubts only deepened:

Already at the pinnacle of worldly luxury, why resort to such unscrupulous means, including drug trafficking?

Carrying these questions, Li Yuanzhong and Zhen Yangzi formally paid a visit.

After all, the two sides hadn’t truly come to blows yet, and the Great Grandmasters were sure to maintain their dignity.

Soon, a steward rushed over with 64 Refining Internal Organs experts carrying two "Cloud Beds".

The Cloud Beds were lavishly decorated to the extreme, and the 64 Refining Internal Organs "porters" knelt uniformly on the ground.

The steward bowed deeply, "I invite the Daoist Masters to ascend~"

Looking at the spectacle before him, Zhen Yangzi showed a sneer.

Li Yuanzhong said, "The two of us will walk."

With that, he proceeded with Zhen Yangzi towards the heart of the estate.

There, three semi-transparent "Qi Columns" were rising—these were the "Qi Blood Smoke" created by the surging life force of the Great Grandmasters.

The rising Qi Blood Smoke signaled full mobilization of the body, carrying a subtle warning.

They did this because the two Daoists’ visit was too sudden.

At the level of Great Grandmaster, it was considered impolite to visit without prior notice.

Thus, both parties were prepared to a certain degree.

The three Qi Blood Smoke columns actively approached, blocking the two Daoist Masters on an open space.

Li Yuanzhong recognized all three Great Grandmasters.

Aside from the elegantly refined Shen Xing and the ethereally beautiful Su Qing, there was also a middle-aged man with a stern face, the Governor of Yun and Gui, "Fan Chengbin".

against 3, the atmosphere was one of a standoff.

Li Yuanzhong greeted with a clenched fist, speaking reasonably, "I apologize for the intrusion; I hope you can forgive us."

Shen Xing smiled coolly and stated directly,

"Let’s not mince words; the True Master’s eyebrows exude killing intent. It seems the visitor has ill intentions. May I know what guidance you have to offer?"

"Governor Shen is a man of quick words, so I will speak plainly," said Li Yuanzhong.

He locked eyes with the other party, gravely saying,

"You, Shen Xing, have enjoyed all the world’s glory, and you even have the potential to reach the pinnacle of this world! Why do you aid tyranny and poison the people!"

At these words, Shen Xing immediately understood what the old Daoist was referring to.

He did not defend himself, only shaking his head with a light laugh,

"The saying goes, ’the sound of a cannon brings ten thousand gold’; as the Governor, I naturally need to raise resources and funds to contend for the world, while incidentally weakening the enemy. Isn’t Ice Soul Powder just the ticket~"

This nonchalant attitude greatly angered Li Yuanzhong,

"Shen Xing! Aren’t you afraid of the criticism of the masses? Even if you seize the realm, how will posterity view you!"

"The common people? They are but pigs and dogs, why should I care about the thoughts of pigs and dogs?"

Shen Xing swept his robe grandly, saying,

"I only care about what the descendants of the Shen Family think of me, hoping they remember the benevolence of their ancestor when they hold court positions generation after generation, offering a few more sticks of incense during celebrations and festivals."

"..."

Such words left Li Yuanzhong speechless, and it took him a while before he sighed and said,

"With a father like you, it’s no wonder that Azure Dragon has turned out the way it has."

Upon hearing the words "Azure Dragon," Shen Xing’s expression grew somewhat strange...

At this moment, the steward who had just left hurried back and whispered something into his master’s ear.

Shen Xing’s face instantly turned cold,

"Openly repairing the walkway but secretly walking through Chen Cang... Daoist Li, what a clever tactic, you’re here to hold us back!"

Clearly, the news of the factory being attacked had reached them.

Li Yuanzhong nodded and said, "Such a den of poison must, of course, be destroyed."

"You Taoists are truly the most despicable and lowly bones in the world!"

Shen Xing said through clenched teeth with a laugh, "Wouldn’t it be better to quietly cultivate in the mountains? Why come out and muddy the waters, offering up your lives!"

"Though the commands of The Three Pure Ones cannot be repeated, if the common folk are saved, it comforts my body."

Li Yuanzhong recited a verse and then, along with Zhen Yangzi, began to gather his strength, ready to make a move.

Shen Xing and the two with him did the same, their bodies emitting a gold light forged by Immortal Will.

The steward, caught in the middle, was so frightened that he couldn’t walk straight and scrambled away rolling and crawling. freēwēbnovel.com

The momentum of both sides rose to the peak, and the situation was about to explode!

But just at that moment, from the center of Chaohu Lake, suddenly there came a thumping sound of a heartbeat!

They saw a giant, semi-transparent egg-shaped structure vaguely appear in the center of the lake!

It throbbed like a heart, its surface undulating, as if something were trying to break out!

The scene fell silent for a moment when Li Yuanzhong exclaimed, "Someone is consolidating their Heart Image... it’s Shen Siang!"

Zhen Yangzi then looked at Fan Chengbin, realizing,

"No wonder the Governor of Yun and Gui arrived so early; it turned out to be ’protecting the path’!"

The final stages of becoming a Manifesting Saint involves large commotions, and a cultivator cannot move; naturally they need their teachers and kin to guard them to prevent unforeseen events.

"If Azure Dragon breaks through, the Shen Family will have four Grandmaster Level combatants!"

Zhen Yangzi was eager to stop it, but how could Shen Xing allow it!

He raised his hand, and with a gesture, a spear over three meters long flew through the air and landed in his grip.

The spear glinted with Radiance Light, giving everyone chills and a strong sense of danger... this was at least a Fourth-Grade Upper artifact, or perhaps it had even reached Third Grade!

Shen Xing brandished his spear and shouted, "I, Shen Xing will lead the offense in a moment, the two of you support! Let’s deal with that blind piece of trash first!"

Such words not only conveyed his readiness to take the brunt of the attack, giving his allies reassurance, but also served to shake the enemy’s morale.

Zhen Yangzi had lost an eyeball while grappling with a werewolf. The organ was intricately complex and had yet to be fully healed, which would surely affect his fighting ability.

Yet, Zhen Yangzi seemed unconcerned, frequently turning his attention to the semi-transparent giant egg in the center of the lake, clearly not wanting to let Azure Dragon break through.

Both sides had their apprehensions, leading to a slight standoff for a while.

But even that brief moment was enough for more news to come in.

The hairpin on Li Yuanzhong’s head vibrated in three short sequences, ’two long, one short’, the secret code agreed upon by his disciples, indicating that the task was accomplished.

The recently escaped steward also hurried back, frantically informing his master that the factory had been destroyed.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had no interest in fighting to the death for the Shen Family.

And with Shen Xing possessing powerful Magic Artifacts and herself unarmed, a nick from Li Yuanzhong’s Flying Sword would require a long time to heal.

Fan Chengbin also transmitted his voice, "Brother Shen, things have come to this, let’s call it off for today. After your esteemed nephew breaks through, we’ll settle the account."

Shen Xing considered briefly and indeed saw no need to press the matter at this moment, then proclaimed to Li Yuanzhong,

"Daoist Li, out of respect for the many years of our acquaintance, today I will concede defeat. You should leave quickly."

Li Yuanzhong and Zhen Yangzi’s objective in coming here was to hold these people back, allowing Lu Li to destroy the factory.

Now that the objective was achieved, they did not delay and promptly retreated.

Zhen Yangzi looked at the giant egg with a trace of unwillingness... yet thinking of having Lu Li on their side, who would actually benefit from dragging this out was still uncertain, so he chose not to take the risk.
