Immortal Li Is Very Powerful

(Third update in the afternoon.)

State Guesthouse.

"My lord, will there be any problems with what we're doing?" an envoy from the Great Zhou asked in a low voice, sounding slightly uneasy.

Helan Minzhi sneered, "Not good? What's wrong with it?"

The envoy looked troubled.

You are the ambassador of our delegation; when do you see an ambassador personally getting involved?

Besides, it would be good if you won, but if you were to lose at the martial arts tournament, what would become of the Great Zhou's reputation?

Helan Minzhi seemed to see through the envoy's worries and sneered, "Are you worried that the Dao Integration expert Chunyangzi mentioned will make a move, and that I will be defeated by these scum?"

The envoy quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare."

Helan Minzhi waved his hand, looking confident and chuckled in a low voice, "A Dao Integration Realm expert, it's truly remarkable that Chunyangzi dares to think of such a thing. If it weren't for my quick wit, I would have almost been fooled by this guy."

The envoy looked bewildered and asked in surprise, "What does Your Excellency mean by this?"

Helan Minzhi sneered, "The ancient world has long since collapsed, the Bitter Sea has sunk, the world is shrouded in darkness, and the path of cultivation has been severed. Given the current state of the Bitter Sea Bitter Sea, if the Great Xia truly had an unparalleled expert at the Dao Realm, do you think so many countries would still exist there?"

The envoy looked completely bewildered.

That seems to make a lot of sense.

What is the concept of a powerhouse at the Dao Realm? It represents the ultimate terrifying power of mortals, an unparalleled powerhouse capable of destroying stars with a flick of their finger.

If the Great Xia truly possessed Dao-Merging experts, there's no reason why so many nations would still exist in the Bitter Sea.

Tigers and wolves can fight each other, but I've never heard of ants fighting giants.

Based on the strength of these countries in the Bitter Sea, they are no better than ants in front of a Dao-Merging expert.

Upon realizing this, the envoy's face lit up with a look of sudden understanding, yet he also seemed somewhat puzzled.

He asked doubtfully, "If that's the case, why would Chunyangzi others spread false information to His Majesty? Aren't they afraid of being punished by His Majesty?"

Helan Minzhi scoffed, "Punishment? Why would Your Majesty punish someone?"

Your Majesty has never been very interested in the Bitter Sea. If it weren't for the reunification of heaven and earth, my Great Zhou would have no interest in returning to this wasteland.

Furthermore, the Bitter Sea will connect with countless Grotto-Heaven and endless worlds in the future, inevitably becoming a battleground for all factions. If our Great Zhou rashly intervenes in the major changes of the Bitter Sea, it may gain temporary benefits, but it will inevitably become the target of everyone in the endless Grotto-Heaven and worlds."

The envoy understood immediately upon hearing this.

Chunyangzi and the others understood Wu Zhao's intentions perfectly, so all they wanted to do was this.

But Helan Minzhi was different. He also knew Wu Zhao's intentions, but his approach was more radical, and he wanted to do better than Chunyangzi and the others.

Chunyangzi and the others only wanted to establish communication and cooperation with the Great Xia, but Helan Minzhi wanted to control the spatial gate that connects the two worlds. Because controlling the spatial gate is equivalent to controlling the discourse in future wars, allowing for both offense and defense.

Most importantly, Helan Minzhi needed to make a gesture, a gesture for Wu Zhao to see.

He wanted Wu Zhao to know that he was far more loyal than Chunyangzi and others, and that he understood Wu Zhao's needs better than they did.

After all, if this matter is handled well, the Great Zhou will surely become famous, Wu Zhao, as the emperor of the Great Zhou, will also receive great honor. Moreover, the Great Zhou's goal is merely to control the spatial gate; even if it only occupies a place in the Bitter Sea, it will not become the target of everyone's criticism.

After figuring it out, the envoy exclaimed, "Your Excellency is wise; I am ashamed of my own inferiority!"

The envoy hesitated for a moment, then added, "However, in my humble opinion, the Great Xia will probably not easily hand over the Emperor Mountain."

Helan Minzhi sneered, "Of course they won't hand it over easily. The spatial gate is a strategic location that all military strategists fight over. Unless they're stupid, they won't choose to give it to us voluntarily."

To obtain the portal, we'll need to fight another battle.

"Only when I, this Marquis, have beaten them until they're terrified, until they dare not oppose my Great Zhou again, will they understand who the father and son are."

Upon hearing this, the envoy finally understood.

He looked at Helan Minzhi with admiration, his heart filled with praise.

The fact that Lord Hou is hailed as the leading figure of the younger generation in the Great Zhou is indeed well-deserved.

The following day, in the early morning.

Today is a big day not only for the Great Zhou and Great Xia, but for all countries in the world.

Because they need to guess what might be behind their own spatial gate based on the Great Zhou's purpose and situation, and prepare corresponding countermeasures.

The meeting was held at the Capitol Building.

The venue was resplendent and exceptionally luxurious, with an oval conference table several meters long positioned in the center, and each seat marked with a name.

This was the main forum for dialogue between the two countries, and also a crucial point in the war.

On either side of the oval conference table, there are dozens of seats for accompanying guests.

At this moment, people took their seats in the accompanying seats on both sides.

Shortly before the meeting began, Li Hao and Ethereal Master arrived at the venue.

Due to the special circumstances, Li Hao did not bring Xiao Daji with him. After all, a Mengmeng animal-eared girl suddenly appearing among so many humans would be too conspicuous.

Of course, even without the Mengmeng animal-eared girls, Li Hao still attracted countless eyes when he followed Ethereal Master to the listening seats.

Those invited to this conference are all among the world's top leaders.

Simply put, you could throw any piece of trash here and hit a renowned grandmaster.

As for why Ethereal Master only sat in the audience seat.

Firstly, the power of the Ethereal Master was insufficient to deter the Great Zhou; in terms of negotiations, she was merely a figurehead. Secondly, it was due to the Ethereal Master's personality; she never paid attention to such matters and had no interest in negotiating with the people of the Great Zhou.

Professional tasks should naturally be handled by professionals.

After the two were seated, the Ethereal Master transmitted his voice, saying, "Before issuing a notification, the two countries still need to reach an agreement and unify some clauses. This is the main purpose of this morning's meeting."

Li Hao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"The real person is late."

Just as Ethereal Master was instructing Li Hao, a kind old man in a Daoist robe, his eyes gleaming with the burning fire of Bagua (a concept in Chinese astrology), glanced at Li Hao, then looked at Ethereal Master and smiled, saying, "This young friend seems somewhat unfamiliar. May I ask your name?"

Li Hao looked at the old man upon hearing the sound.

The leader of the Wudang Sect, a renowned grandmaster and powerful figure in the world today.

The Ethereal Master coldly replied, "None of your business."

Only after saying this did the Ethereal Master realize that Li Hao was still beside him.

She glanced at Li Hao with slight embarrassment, and when she realized that he didn't seem to have noticed that she had almost sworn, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That was close.

The Ethereal Master glanced sideways at the old Daoist and said coldly, "Who he is is none of your business."

The old Daoist priest narrowed his eyes, the fire of gossip burning even brighter in them.

There's a problem.

There's a big problem!

Given Ethereal Master's personality, he shouldn't be so refined!

Shouldn't the Ethereal Master's normal operating procedure be to first reprimand the other party verbally, and if that fails, then resort to physical means to persuade them?

The old Daoist smiled and said, "Master, you are mistaken. As the vice president of the Great Xia Martial Arts Association, I am involved in all matters concerning cultivators."

Moreover, this young friend is so promising; he must be a rising star of our Great Xia. It would be rather inexcusable for this old Daoist not to know such a talent."

The Ethereal Master's eye twitched slightly.

You're so annoying.

Can't you tell I don't want to talk to you?

Because of Li Hao, it was inconvenient for Ethereal Master to physically persuade the Wudang Sect Leader, so he could only close his eyes and pretend that the person did not exist.

There were quite a few people around who were paying attention to Li Hao and Ethereal Master's situation, and seeing Ethereal Master's current behavior, they became even more curious.

An old monk with squinty eyes turned his head, put his hands together, and said, "Amitabha Buddha, young friend, are you well?"

Li Hao looked over and immediately recognized the old monk's identity.

The abbot of the Shaolin Sect is one of the greatest masters and strongest people in the world today.

He smiled and said, "Greetings, Master."

The old monk smiled and replied, "Young friend, you are a promising young man. May I ask where you are practicing?"

Seeing this, everyone immediately understood the Shaolin Sect abbot's purpose.

Since the Ethereal Master is unwilling to talk about it, let's just ask him directly.

Li Hao knew perfectly well what the old monk's purpose was.

After a brief moment of thought and careful consideration, he finally decided not to frighten these poor, lonely elderly people.

Li Hao humbly replied, "My name is Li Hao, and I cultivate at home."

Li Hao thought to himself, "Of course, the best way to engage in group chats is at home."

Everyone narrowed their eyes slightly, a testament to their family's long tradition of scholarship.

Moreover, judging from the close relationship between this young man and the Ethereal Master, he must be from a prestigious family.

I just don't know which Li Family he comes from.

The old monk's smile grew even more benevolent as he said, "Young friend, it seems you've come with the Master. Could it be that you have a past connection with the Master?"

Li Hao narrowed his eyes.

Old monk, you're quite the gossip.

Li Hao glanced at the Grandmasters who were all sitting upright, but secretly eavesdropping, and muttered to himself.

Ha, a bunch of old idiots.

However, hmph, since you want to hear it, I'll grant your wish.

Li Hao feigned embarrassment and said modestly, "We weren't that close, we just lived together for a while."

quiet.

The scene was completely silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief, turning their heads to look.

Living together!

Living with the Ethereal Master!

This is modern society; how could they not know the meaning of cohabitation?

Of course, while cohabitation may not necessarily mean that, no matter how you look at it, using the word "cohabitation" inevitably leads people to misunderstand it!

The abbot of the Shaolin Sect, in particular, suddenly widened his squinty eyes, looked at Li Hao in astonishment, and then looked at Ethereal Master.

The Ethereal Master remained calm, but inwardly he felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed.

That bastard, he's so outspoken.

But wouldn't that count as living together?

The Ethereal Master fell silent upon thinking about this.

If that's the case, then the bastard wasn't entirely wrong, but why does something still feel off?

The old monk asked in a trembling voice, "Cohabitation?"

Li Hao feigned doubt and asked, "Yes, it's about a man and woman living together. Is there a problem?"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Seeing that the Ethereal Master did not refute them, their gazes grew even stranger.

Young man, who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?

Feeling the increasingly ambiguous gazes from everyone, Ethereal Master felt an urge to slap Li Hao to death.

The old monk's eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes squinted again.

He chanted a Buddhist prayer and said, "Young friend, you are no ordinary person."

Li Hao smiled and said, "I think so too. After all, not everyone's cooking skills can receive Piao Miao praise. I'll treat everyone sometime so they can taste what real deliciousness is."

Everyone was somewhat taken aback and confused.

Cooking skills?

Wait, did we misunderstand something?

The old Daoist priest from Wudang Mountain said disappointedly, "Is it just cooking?"

Li Hao feigned surprise and asked in confusion, "What did you think it was, senior?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze away without showing any emotion.

That's right, we only understood it as cooking skills, and we didn't think about anything unhealthy.

Seeing this, the Ethereal Master knew perfectly well that Li Hao was deliberately toying with them. She gave Li Hao a charming sidelong glance, then looked at the crowd and said coldly, "A bunch of old geezers."

Everyone returned a smile with elegance and politeness.

Can you blame us for this?

Why are you making such a fuss about something so ordinary? What can we do? We're desperate too.
