The Tea Is Good!

"Why don't we just find your real identity and kill you?"

Chu Xinghe remained calm at this moment.

Upon hearing Chu Xinghe's words, Lu Shu almost burst out laughing!

Lu Shu said to Chu Xinghe, "Do you want to hear what you're saying...? You were able to find my body because it contains my aura and various flaws, so I, Lu Shu, know I can't escape."

But I, Lu Shu, am truly a master strategist. I had already foreseen that you could find me, so my true form and soul have long been hidden in a place you can never discover. As long as my true form and soul remain, everything is irreversible!

What the hell are you saying, Chu Xinghe...?

What makes you think you can find Lao Tzu's true form and soul?

A flash of spiritual light appeared in the Phantom Evil Lord's hand as he attempted to search for Lu Shu's true soul through the remnant soul of Lu Shu's broken body, but Phantom Evil Lord quickly shook his head.

"Chu Xinghe... I don't know what method he used, but he completely severed all connections with his original soul. It's probably impossible to find his original soul through this broken body!"

Upon hearing these words from the Phantom Evil Lord, Lu Shu burst into unrestrained laughter once again!

"It's no use... I'm the one who truly has a flawless plan. You don't need to waste your energy; this was all within my calculations!"

Just as Lu Shu was shouting, Chu Xinghe slowly spoke up, "Who said finding his true soul necessarily requires relying on his remnant soul? Sometimes... you can guess!"

"I guess... your true soul... is in the Great Liang Kingdom! Right... Xu Wannian!"

As soon as Chu Xinghe uttered these words, Lu Shu was clearly stunned for a moment.

While Lu Shu was still in a daze in the Great Chang Kingdom, Xu Wannian, who was in the Imperial Garden in the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom, saw a person slowly walking out from not far away... a person whose body was shining with starlight!

And this person was none other than... Chu Xinghe!

"Chu... Xinghe... Lord... Didn't you go to the Great Chang Kingdom? How come you're here?" Xu Wannian looked at Chu Xinghe with a smile.

"Xu Wannian... or rather, Lu Shu... you don't need to act in front of me anymore. Your acting skills are mediocre! And your script isn't very good either! But you do have some tricks up your sleeve. It's true that you can't find my true soul just by relying on that remnant body left in Da Lu Shu Great Chang Kingdom. But you yourself said that I, Chu Xinghe, am a master strategist. How could I not be able to find out where your true soul is?"

"Lord Xinghe... what... what are you saying... I... I don't understand..." Xu Wannian looked at Chu Xinghe with a puzzled expression.

"Lu Shu, to be honest, although I don't know where your abilities and powers come from, do you really think what you did was flawless?"

"Nothing in this world is ever truly flawless. You did a good job, but unfortunately, there are still flaws... Although I didn't know why you started a war between two countries before, the moment I learned about it, I knew your purpose couldn't simply be for power!"

"With your Power of Bewitchment and ability to impersonate others, if you really wanted to acquire these two countries, you could simply impersonate their rulers. I doubt anyone would suspect anything amiss!"

"But you didn't do that. Instead, you first impersonated the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, poisoned the soul of the Great Liang Kingdom King, turning him into a living dead, and then launched a war between the two countries! You were worried that news from the Great Liang Kingdom would leak out, so you even took the risk of impersonating the Grand Deacon Xu Wen and luring away everyone from the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, causing the Vast Heaven Holy Land's spies here to almost all disappear!"

"I must say, although this move was risky, it was indeed effective. If Ma Liang and I hadn't happened to arrive here, you might have succeeded!"

Xu Wannian: "Lord Xinghe, what are you saying? I don't understand at all..."

Chu Xinghe: "It doesn't matter, I'm just saying, take it or leave it! We both know whether we understand or not!"

"Lu Shu, your abilities are truly remarkable. Even when you discovered that Ma Liang and I had appeared in the Great Liang Kingdom, you didn't panic and run away."

"That's because the body you left in the Great Chang Kingdom was merely a fragment, while Xu Wannian was your true form. You thought no one in this world would suspect that your true soul was hidden within Xu Wannian's body, right? Too bad... your so-called perfect plan, in my eyes, is full of flaws!"

"Your first weakness lies with Yue Ling... I've been thinking about this question: why did you mobilize so much power and spend so many resources to prevent Yue Ling from returning to the Great Liang Kingdom? At first, I thought it was because you were afraid that if Yue Ling returned to the Great Liang Kingdom and took control of it, she would ruin your plans?"

"But I realized in court that I was wrong... In fact, even if Yue Ling returns to the Great Liang Kingdom, it won't affect your entire plan at all."

"Because the entire court of the Great Liang Kingdom is under the control of the Grand Preceptor Wei Wuji, which means they are also under your Lu Shu, Yue Ling. Although Yue Ling is a princess, she has long been completely sidelined by Wei Wuji. If it weren't for my appearance and Ma Liang's, what difference would it make whether Yue Ling returns or not?"

"But you knew this all along, so why did you insist on those assassins killing Yue Ling and preventing Yue Ling from returning...? Later I realized, your goal wasn't whether Yue Ling returned or not, but that Yue Ling had to die. Because I discovered that Yue Ling's talent was clearly quite good, but her cultivation level was only Second Rank, which was obviously a bit strange."

"The reason this is happening is because Yue Ling's soul is Extreme Yin Soul! So your claim of preventing Yue Ling from returning to the Great Liang Kingdom is just a pretext; your real goal is to kill Yue Ling and obtain her extremely Yue Ling Extreme Yin Soul, right?"

Xu Wannian: "Lord Xinghe, what... what are you saying? I really don't understand. Even if what you're saying is true, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it?"

Seeing Xu Wannian's bewildered expression, Chu Xinghe smiled slightly and continued, "It has nothing to do with you? Alright, I'll tell you a short story, and after you hear it, you'll probably understand..."

"A fellow calling himself Lu Shu, a Lu Shu Clan Lu Shu Demon Race clan, had all perished in the great war years ago, leaving him all alone. He thought his life would end there, but one day, he suddenly obtained countless secret techniques and evil arts in a certain place, and these techniques gave him an incredibly audacious plan!"

"However, to carry out this audacious plan, he needed to find someone with an Extreme Yin Physique. Heaven rewards the diligent; after a long search, he finally found Yue Ling in the Great Liang Kingdom. Overjoyed, he immediately wanted to implement his plan, but he discovered that this was the territory of the Vast Heaven Holy Land ... If he openly set up that Ancient Soul Origin Formation, even if ordinary people couldn't detect it, the Vast Heaven Holy Land would definitely find out. In that case, his plan would be completely ruined, and he himself would be in grave danger!"

"So he plotted for a long time, using his soul to possess Xu Wannian, and then sending his original remains to the Great Chang Kingdom. After that, he seized the soul of the Great Liang Kingdom's ruler, turning him into a living dead. Then, his remains in the Great Chang Kingdom, through his ability to bewitch and impersonate others, instigated the Great Chang Kingdom's war against the Great Liang Kingdom."

"Once the Ancient Soul Origin Formation is activated, everyone within the array will die! But the sudden death of millions of people would be far too easy to detect, and the best way to cover it up is through war."

"While the massacre of over a dozen cities in a single war is cruel, it's not unheard of. Therefore, Lu Shu wanted to use war to conceal his true intentions. However, Lu Shu was still worried that his plan would be discovered by the Vast Heaven Holy Land, so he impersonated Xu Wen and transferred all the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce of the Great Liang Kingdom... He also secretly spread rumors that the Great Liang Kingdom was being supported by the Vast Heaven Holy Land!"

"The reason he possessed Xu Wannian is because Xu Wannian was the master of Yue Ling, the target of Lu Shu. Therefore, Yue Ling's inexplicable travels were actually part of Lu Shu's plan!"

"After the war broke out between the two countries, Lu Shu sent Golden Armor Knights to retrieve Yue Ling. However, what's puzzling is that the entire Golden Armor Knights were wiped out, and even many experts from the Great Liang Kingdom perished. Yet, Yue Ling, a Second Rank warrior, survived. Isn't that incredible? I guess... it wasn't because Yue Ling was lucky, but because the Ancient Soul Origin Formation hadn't been fully set up yet. So, at that time, Yue Ling, with her Extreme Yin Soul, couldn't die!"

"As the war progressed, Lu Shu's Ancient Soul Origin Formation was completely set up, and now it was time for Yue Ling to die... But fate was unkind. Lu Shu never dreamed that two people would suddenly appear beside Yue Ling, and even less did he expect that these two people would be me Chu Xinghe, and Ma Liang... After that, things began to spiral out of control..."

"Although Lu Shu, who was hiding behind the scenes, kept ordering the Moon Shadow Cult to kill Yue Ling, the Moon Shadow Cult was unable to complete its mission until its destruction. Afterwards, Lu Shu used countless forces, but Yue Ling remained safe and sound, and even reached the capital!"

"A mere second-rank Moon Spirit, all the Golden Armor Knights and other powerful warriors perished, yet she survived, and was even marked with a tracking mark... She's still alive... Isn't that hilarious!"

"To be able to kill so many powerful figures, and even leave Tracking Mark on Yue Ling, yet still not kill her... To be honest, this flaw is far too huge... Because killing a Second Rank expert is far, far easier than leaving Spirit-Seeking Mark on a Second Rank expert. So there's only one reason why Yue Ling isn't dead: Lu Shu knows that Yue Ling hasn't reached the point where she should die yet!"

"And who else could silently leave Spirit-Seeking Mark on Yue Ling... besides your master, Xu Wannian?"

As Chu Xinghe spoke, he walked to the opposite side of Xu Wannian. Looking at Xu Wannian sitting there blankly, Chu Xinghe Xu Wannian up the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea. Then he continued, "This is the first flaw in your Lu Shu, and this second flaw is even bigger... I already knew you had a problem back in the Great Liang Kingdom court, but you couldn't die then, because if you were caught then, what if your remains hidden in the Great Chang Kingdom escaped?"

"So you thought you were the hunter, leading us to the Great Chang Kingdom to capture your remains, but you had no idea that you were in the trap the whole time. It wasn't you who led us to the Great Chang Kingdom, but rather I who needed you to lead me Great Chang Kingdom! Do you understand?"

Chu Xinghe poured himself a cup of tea, slowly sipped it, and then smiled calmly, saying, "The tea is good!"

In that instant, Xu Wannian looked at Chu Xinghe as if he were looking at a monster...
