I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 1375 - 674: Annihilation of the Sima Family and Man Clan! (Part 3)
Chapter 1375 -674: Annihilation of the Sima Family and Man Clan! (Part 3)
“Alas, a generation of painting saints….”
Li Kuangxiu slowly shook his head, let out a sigh, seemingly regretful.
“How is Hongshuang?”
Gu Tianqiong no longer focused on the battlefield clash but instead looked towards Li Kuangxiu. The news that the Emperor wanted to marry Li Hongshuang as a Noble Consort had already reached him.
“Still unwilling.”
Li Kuangxiu shook his head, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
No matter how he tried to persuade, Li Hongshuang was always unwilling. That night, if he hadn’t been secretly keeping watch, she would have already escaped from Divine Capital City.
Such foolishness!
For the mere Golden Envoy of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, she dared to defy the imperial decree. Where does she intend to place the Li Family?
Now with the world in turmoil, it’s the opportunity for the Li Family to regain military power. The Emperor no longer resists, only wanting a marriage alliance to stabilize their relationship.
But she remains blind to it.
“It’s my fault for spoiling her.”
Li Kuangxiu exhaled a heavy breath.
“Brother Li, don’t force her. Hongshuang is sensible and will come to understand. How can personal emotions compare with matters of the state?
The world is in upheaval, and various rebels are subtly emerging. The court’s power must be united to preserve the Li Family’s wealth and nobility.”
“She doesn’t understand, but I do. Once she is sent to the palace, she will accept her fate. Yet, you must order Jiang He not to have any designs.”
“Rest assured, he is merely a Golden Envoy. Though talented, he won’t have the chance to grow. If he doesn’t behave, I will send him on his way.”
A cold gleam flickered in Gu Tianqiong’s eyes.
“Speaking of talent, the Marquis of Martial Safety assigned to Shuzhou is truly powerful. Now, as the court needs personnel, why not summon him back to the Capital to prevent being killed by rebels.”
Gu Tianqiong shook his head:
“That one is an ambitious thief. The Heavenly Patrol Bureau already has information that he is likely behind the Shuxi Alliance. Foolish indeed, daring to have rebellious thoughts without even being a Yang God. If not for the need to keep southern affairs stable, I would have already slain him!”
“It’s a good seedling, are you willing to let go?”
“Betraying the court is betraying the Heavenly Patrol Bureau. No matter how talented, such a person cannot be used; he’s just an untamable wolf. What a pity, I previously spoke for him at the Golden Throne Hall, leading the Emperor to assign him to the south.”
“According to your words, this one truly lacks sense. Marrying the Princess is his fortune, yet he refuses. How pitiful… In times of chaos, he stands no chance of survival given his cultivation strength.”
Li Kuangxiu said softly.
“Brother Li, you’re correct. However, the Emperor has already given him a chance, asking him to inquire at Shushan and then return to the Capital for duty. Yet he has remained silent, seemingly intent on rebellion.
The Emperor granted him the title of Marquis, domain over ten thousand households, and governing the Three States in the south, yet he repays it this way. If he miraculously survives, I will personally imprison him in the Heavenly Prison, where he will repent his crimes!”
Gu Tianqiong’s gaze was ice-cold, with a hint of murderous intent.
After the Heavenly Patrol Bureau spies relayed their findings to him, he harbored a desire to eliminate Chen Yuan. He declined high positions and wealth, beauty, and power.
Yet stubbornly chose rebellion.
Recruiting soldiers in Tangshan, secretly controlling the Shuxi Alliance in Shuzhou, building his own power—his intentions are clear at a glance.
“Alas, I…”
Li Kuangxiu was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed, looking into the distance:
“Not good, there’s a change!”
Rewinding back moments earlier.
Upon realizing he couldn’t kill Sima Che quickly, Wu Daozi devised a new plan. He hadn’t fully unleashed the true power of the broken spear, only endured the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl.
Meanwhile, he retreated step by step, widening the gap with Gu Tianqiong and Li Kuangxiu. After distancing himself by a hundred thousand feet, he was beginning to struggle.
He decided to make a desperate stand, using his power to once again resist the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, fully unleashing the Chen Family’s broken spear that had lain dormant for over two hundred years.
The dominant Sima Che had not anticipated that Wu Daozi, despite being near death, could wield such terrifying power. Shocked, he quickly retreated.
Unfortunately, Wu Daozi forcibly retained the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, and the broken spear locked onto his Qi path, leaving no escape.
He could only hastily set up a layer of protection, alarmed at the impending danger, and shouted urgently:
“Lord Gu, save me!!!”
It was upon hearing this call that Li Kuangxiu’s expression changed dramatically. Without hesitation, the two moved simultaneously, each stepping out to rescue Sima Che.
Though the distance of a hundred thousand feet could be covered instantly, figures suddenly erupted in the void, conjured by the Essence Blood Wu Daozi had expelled.
The force wasn’t great, but enough to block them momentarily.
And crucially in that moment, the broken spear pierced through Sima Che’s defenses, pinning him in the void.
His essence blood rapidly drained away, struck by terror, he hurriedly employed the Royal Family’s trump card. Coupled with Gu Tianqiong’s forced traversal of the void, he barely clung to life, but the dreadful Evil Qi invaded his body, severing his foundations and damaging his origin.
Severely injured, his future advancement impossible, his body was also punctured with a massive hole, turning his face livid.
