Chapter 272 - Persuading with Morals

Chapter 272 Persuading with Morals

The Prince of Qi, Qin Jun, felt extremely awkward.

This was the Divine Capital, after all. If two great elites fought here in the Divine Capital, it would surely cause a great disturbance.

In order to maintain peace in the Divine Capital, the capital’s guards would also be mobilized. If they could not stop it, the imperial guard would move out until the battle between the cultivators was settled.

The Divine Capital was a flourishing place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Even then, how did it manage to avoid fights that broke out over vast areas? It was all thanks to the imperial city’s guards. Otherwise, the Divine Capital would have been flattened by the cultivators a long time ago.

The terrifying thing was that with the imperial city as its center, there was the Ten Terminal Formation which was collectively laid out by cultivators who were skilled in Formations.

The presence of the Ten Terminal Formation was enough to intimidate the cultivators in the imperial city to not make any rash moves.

That was why…

Qin Jun did not want to see these two elites fight.

“Say, can’t we talk things through, Eunuch Li!?” Qin Jun did his best to dissuade them.

Although the butler, Hong Fu, was afraid, he had no choice but to embolden himself and say, “Honored guests, calm down. What if the imperial city becomes aware of this?”

Eunuch Li’s sharp voice reached their ears. “My mistress, the current Empress Dowager, represents the imperial family. If I lose, it means that the imperial family has lost!” Lu Zhou shook his head. “Stubborn mule!”

He waved his arm.

Without warning, he brought his arm in a swinging motion from his left to his right.

A miniature electric-like vortex appeared and shot out. Everyone else held their breaths. They stared at the blue vortex and wore perplexed expressions.

As Li Yunzhao’s face fell, his Dark Yin Energy was ready. It revolved around him like a tornado.

The only thing better than before was that he was now slightly prepared.

When the blue vortex was upon him, another bolt of lightning fell from the skies.

Boom!

It hit its target precisely.

Bam!

Li Yunzhao reeled again. This time, he flew for a much longer distance.

Before the others could see clearly, there was another loud bang. Li Yunzhao crashed into the thick wall of the Prince of Qi Mansion, creating a human-shaped dent in it. Li Yunzhao was stuck inside the wall and could not move.

The Prince of Qi Mansion fell quiet. It was an eerie sort of deathly stillness and silence.

To think that Li Yunzhao acted as if he was very powerful!

Did he not mention that he had some tricks up his sleeve?

Did he not say that he was an elite by the Empress Dowager’s side?

Why was he so weak?

Was he made of paper?

Perhaps, Li Yunzhao was an impostor all along. Was he a cultivator who was merely masquerading as a person who had actual abilities?

The others were puzzled. Lu Zhou was the only person who appeared calm. This card merely pushed him back and did not kill him. Old eunuch, if you actually triggered the 1% kill-rate, you can’t blame me.’

“Eunuch Li?” Qin Jun was the first person to break the silence. He voiced out his question carefully.

Crash!

Surprisingly, Li Yunzhao walked out of the wall.

The rubble slid off him. His eyes were slightly listless while his lips were trembling.

Then, with a muffled grunt, fresh blood trickled out. This time, he was injured as he had triggered the 30% chance of harming the target.

‘You’ve got some luck for staying alive.’

Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at the eunuch as if nothing had happened.

Li Yunzhao’s remaining confidence and pride were long gone. The so-called peerless elite, great Eunuch Li, was worth less than a dog’s fart before the Evil Sky Pavilion Master!

‘Are you powerful? You were a useless person who could not even withstand a single attack!’

Everyone was always talking about how powerful the old villain, Ji Tiandao was, but there were never any standards to compare to.

Even Qin Jun did not know how powerful Lu Zhou was. However, he knew Li Yunzhao’s cultivation base.

He was a person who was on par with the eight great leaders, yet against the Evil Sky Pavilion Master, he could not even withstand a single hit.

The superior cultivator was clear

“Eu-eunuch Li, are you alright?” Qin Jun ventured carefully.

In his heart, he mumbled, ‘Don’t you die on me. If you die, my mansion will be done for.’

At the same time, Qin Jun wanted to curse at him. He did not seem like an expert at all. It felt as if he was a weak pushover instead.

Li Yunzhao calmed his breathing and suppressed his surging essence and blood.

A moment later, he spoke, “Princess Ping Le passed away a long time ago. Back then, she and Princess Yun Zhao begrudged each other. In a fit of confusion, Ping Le ordered me to take the life of Princess Yun Zhao’s daughter, who is also your fifth disciple, Zhao Yue, Old Mister.”

“Why did they begrudge each other?” Lu Zhou wanted to know.

“The Prince of Zhenxi was the person whom the two princesses loved at the same time. However, the Prince of Zhenxi picked Princess Yun Zhao. Then, the Prince of Zhenxi died on the battlefield, leaving Yun Zhao behind…What a shame.” Li Yunzhao wore an expression of regret.

Lu Zhou noticed his choice of words. Although he mentioned the Prince of Zhenxi, he did not say his name. “The Prince of Zhenxi?”

“It’s one of the palace’s taboos. His name must not be said.”

Lu Zhou had no intention of asking about the name. After all, at this juncture, he would be able to find out once he did some digging.

At the side, Qin Jun bowed and said, “I’ve met the Prince of Zhenxi once. However, at that time, he was on a campaign at Loulan. He’s indeed a heroic man. All I know is that he was a great leader on the battlefield and a true man. However, I didn’t know about him and Yun Zhao…”

He left his statement unfinished. The affairs between a man and a woman had always been of great importance in a person’s life.

At this point, Zhao Yue staggered backward. She sat on the chair, feeling slightly weak.

Little Yuan’er could not bear to listen to this. She hastily went forward, supported Zhao Yue, and comforted her softly, “Senior Sister, what a tough life you have…”

‘Sigh. This little girl doesn’t even know how to properly comfort someone. How can she be this blunt and direct? Then again, it’s good enough that she has the intention.’

Zhao Yue grabbed Little Yuan’er’s hand and said, “I’m alright.” When Li Yunzhao saw this, he continued, “I sympathized with Princess Yun Zhao back then. I boldly went against Princess Ping Le’s wish and left the Dark Yin Palm’s cold poison in your body to cover this up. Otherwise, Princess Ping Le would never have allowed her to leave the castle walls. I was thinking that so long as you don’t step onto the path of cultivation and live your life happily as an ordinary person, the cold poison would never be triggered at all.”

At this point, Li Yunzhao paused. “Then, to my shock, I heard that Zhao Yue joined the Evil Sky Pavilion…I had been looking for her ever since so that I could help her get rid of the poison.”

“So, you’re saying…that you saved Senior Sister Zhao Yue?” Little Yuan’er said with a soft snort.

“Well…” Li Yunzhao cupped his fists. “I wouldn’t be so bold to claim merit.”

There was a brief moment of silence.

Lu Zhou looked at Li Yunzhao and said, “I’ve always been persuaded by someone with morals… If you’ve spoken the truth, I’ll spare your life. If I find out that there’s an ounce of a lie in your words, I’ll make sure that you’ll pay with your head.”

Li Yunzhao shuddered. He was someone who held a high position in the palace and had the power to decide the life and death of another person.

Currently, when he felt his own life and death being in someone else’s hands, he could not help but shake.

“However,” Lu Zhou suddenly added, “while a capital offense may be absolved, you can’t escape from a living hell.”

“You…” Li Yunzhao’s expression froze over.

‘It’s true that you were sympathetic and did not kill Zhao Yue, but that’s only enough for you to keep your life.’

At this moment, the minor eunuch in the living room suddenly clapped.

Pa, pa, pa… “Amazing, just amazing!”
