The List / A Hundred-Legged Insect

Xia Guanxue sneered, "Isn't it better to easily defeat the enemy? You're only satisfied when it's a matter of life and death? Well, you can experience it for yourself by slitting your own throat now."

Si Ming, "This is how you deal with an enemy whose Cultivation Body are incomplete. Don't always wait until the Demon King breaks free of his seal before fighting him to the death. Only a foolish hero would do that. Strike while the iron is hot, that's the decisiveness a martial artist should have."

As they spoke, the five of them unknowingly surrounded Chidahu.

Chidahu glanced around and said with a forced smile, "Could it be that you intend to use this as a pretext to attack Guo?"

Si Ming smiled and asked in return, "Guess?"

Chapter 894 List

I guess you won't.

Chidahu ready for battle. "What good would it do your country to eliminate me? A Li State like Li, mired in war, constantly ordering weapons from the Mohist School, and unable to grow stronger, is more in your country's interest."

"That sounds reasonable," Si Ming stroked his chin and chuckled, "But you've forgotten one thing: universal love and non-aggression are the very foundation of our Mohist School. Someone like you, the instigator of war, deserves to be executed!"

"Haha, Your Excellency has misunderstood something. It is my Great Qian who is seeking peace. It is actually the Li State that is constantly provoking wars under the pretext of recovering lost territories. I am quite satisfied with my current situation of possessing half of the country and am also happy to divide the country with the Li State along the river. However, the other party will not agree," Chidahu.

Murong Qing snorted and said seriously, "Grand Preceptor Ju sensed that his time was coming to an end, and once he passed away, there would be no expert in the Li State who could restrain you. That's why he wanted to get rid of you while he was still alive."

Chidahu, "I have heard that the Mohist School judge events by their actions, not by their intentions. No matter how many excuses there are, they cannot cover up the fact that the Li State initiated the war. If your side truly adheres to the principle of non-aggression, then not only should I not be killed, but you should also defend the city for the Great Qian."

Si Ming shook his head and said, "You've forgotten a premise. Whether it's the Mohist concept of Mohist School love or the Confucian School concept of benevolence, these are all directed at the Chinese people, not the barbarians."

Ying Zhou said impatiently, "Why waste so much breath on him? Just teach him a lesson!"

He immediately unleashed a swift slash, the blade crackling with lightning and surging with Gang Qi.

"You brute!"

Xia Guanxue cursed and drew her sword as well. There was no other way; their auras were intertwined, and if one moved, the whole group would move. Otherwise, the encirclement they had formed would be exposed, and the other would be able to break through.

Faced with the two's perfectly coordinated attack, Chidahu calmly and slowly rolled out his hands, and the evil energy that turned into good formed a circular aura, which carried the surrounding energy and deflected all the Sword Qi.

At this moment, his aura seemed to merge with the surrounding world. Every movement, every step he took contained some profound principle, as serene and natural as a clear spring flowing over rocks or white clouds drifting by. He could go or stay as he pleased, making it impossible for his opponent to lock onto him.

Ying Zhou was shocked to discover that no matter which direction he attacked from, Chidahu could instantly shift his strongest defensive point to him. His aura was perfectly integrated, and his weaknesses and openings shifted with every change in his movements. It was as if a single move could affect the whole situation.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, Chidahu suddenly transformed his palms into claws, reaching forward with both hands and using two fingers to clamp the demonic blade and the divine sword. No matter how hard Ying Zhou and Xia Guanxue tried, the weapons did not budge. Then, Chidahu a burst of powerful energy, which surged forward like a giant wave, knocking the two of them back.

"Even if a tiger is injured, it is not something a bull can bully." Chidahu seized the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.

Ying Zhou was both ashamed and angry, and questioned Si Ming, "Why didn't you join in the attack?"

Si Ming curled his lip and said, "Don't always act impulsively and draw your sword without thinking. Their reinforcements have arrived. Even if we all attack together, we can't stop them. Sigh, Void Returning Great Grandmaster is still Great Grandmaster. He's not so easy to kill."

Ying Zhou turned his head and saw that several figures had appeared not far away. They were the auras of the Silver Wolf King, the Scorpion King, and others. He then lost interest.

If there were only one Barbarian King, the five of them working together would have a good chance of killing him. But with helpers, the difficulty increases dramatically. The Silver Wolf King and the others don't need to step forward for a direct confrontation. They can simply attack from a distance to create an opening, Chidahu can take the opportunity to escape.

Since we can't guarantee killing the enemy, it's better not to make a move. After all, this is their territory, and we can find a large group of cannon fodder in no time.

Chidahu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing his men arrive to help, then said solemnly, "Whether you believe me or not, I will not provoke any more wars. Not only that, I will guide my people to integrate into the civilization of the Xia people, fully adopting Xia systems and culture, accepting the opinions of all schools of thought, and reviving the flourishing of the Hundred Schools of Thought in the Middle Ages... I have read extensively and ultimately have to admit that this path is the only way for us 'barbarians' to survive."

Si Ming was silent for a while, then said, "Let's see what you say and what you do. If you can really do these things, we might as well stand by and watch. After all, it's easy to be criticized for helping either side."

"I assure you, I will not disappoint you. This is in our best interest, both publicly and privately."

Upon Chidahu lit up with joy, and he then summoned the Silver Wolf King, saying, "See our distinguished guest off for me."

Si Ming suddenly said, "Wait a moment, before I leave, I need to ask you for something."

What is it?

"The list of members of the Remote Heaven Society."

"This is simple, I'll write it down for you now."

Unable to find paper and pen, Chidahu simply used the blood on the ground as ink and, by drawing lines in the air, began to write on a large rock.

After finishing writing, he waved his hand and gently scraped off the surface layer of the rock, handing it to Si Ming as stone paper. "All the people I know are on this."

Si Ming asked suspiciously, "Giving it so readily is beyond my expectations."

Chidahu, "The Remote Heaven Society was established for three reasons: first, to gather intelligence from all sides and build an army; second, to share the profound principles of martial arts and break free from constraints; and third, to sever the Divine Pillar and fulfill the Return to Antiquity Patriarch. Now that my hegemony is complete and my martial arts have reached the Void Returning, I have no interest in destroying the Eternal Barrier. The Remote Heaven Society has completely lost its value and is just a useless thing to keep."

To say that the Remote Heaven Society no value is obviously false; its network of connections alone is worth a fortune. However, circumstances dictate that Chidahu had no choice but to yield. He knew that without demonstrating some real skills, he couldn't send this group of "dead gods" away.

Let's just say that's how it is.

Si Ming sensed the other person's insincerity, but he didn't care. He glanced down at the list; most names were what he expected, and some were complete strangers. Only one name was entirely unexpected. "Huh, why is his name on it? He's right next to me, and I hadn't even noticed..."

Si Ming was shocked, because he had never suspected this person. In fact, the other party was an important figure in the Remote Heaven Society, responsible for researching some secret arts, such as the art of resurrection of the dead that he had used to entice Su Yingbo in France.

"Let's go, we'll return home immediately."

Si Ming was worried that if those people got wind of it, they would escape in advance. It would not be easy to catch them anywhere in the South Sea. If they hid in the deep mountains and forests, even the best expert in the world would be helpless.

Chapter 895 The Centipede

After the five people left, Chidahu breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, they're gone."

Scorpion King Morigen said, "Your Majesty, are we just going to let them leave so brazenly? If word gets out, we'll lose all face. Should we...?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Face? What is that!"

Chidahu snorted, then, somewhat uneasy, instructed the Silver Wolf King: "Quickly convey my decree: no one is allowed to be disrespectful to the distinguished guests of the Su State. If anyone disobeys this decree and offends them, I will immediately exterminate their entire family and nine generations of their relatives! No amount of pleading will be of any use!"
