Li Hao was slightly taken aback. He had only asked casually, never expecting the prince to have such detailed knowledge of the Tao Comprehension Realm.
True Man Realm, Dao Law Realm.
Dao law allows one to enforce laws with spoken words, isn’t that almost akin to a deity?
Li Hao’s eyes flickered, suddenly realizing why the avatars of those two Desolate Gods were so difficult to kill. Even those in the True Man Realm had condensed the power of the grand Dao, and Dao power was indestructible. The bodies of True Men, forged with Dao power, were likely minimally affected by the Dao Domain.
The difference between these realms was like that between heaven and earth.
“You’re intelligent. If you could see beyond fame and cultivate tranquilly here, you would undoubtedly achieve Great Accomplishment in the future.”
Seeing Li Hao deep in thought, Jiang Lichen said, “Don’t listen to my brother’s advice about running around trying to save ordinary people. What does it matter if all the common folks die? People are foolish by nature; born to be stepping stones for others. Dying early means they can be reborn earlier, perhaps into a wealthy family, which is better than struggling for a hundred and eighty years. It may actually be a blessing in disguise.”
Li Hao was left speechless, slightly taken aback.
It was hard to believe that these words came from a prince; they sounded more like the words of a demon.
“Moreover, the waters of Dayu run deeper than you think. Even if you do not go to Youzhou or Qingzhou, the worst that could happen is the loss of some common folks. Once these demons cross the line, there will definitely be someone who will step forward to annihilate them.”
Jiang Lichen sneered, his eyes flickering slightly with light:
“Although Dayu has declined, it still has some tricks up its sleeve to intimidate others. The five Divine General Mansions in the State Cities, do you really think the Divine Formation is just for the protection of the people? Heh, just focus on your cultivation here.”
Having said that, he turned and flew back into the city.
Li Hao paused, following him back to the courtyard.
Seeing the other once again sit back in his original spot, he felt speechless as it seemed the other had decided to stay indefinitely.
“Prince, what did you mean by the Divine Formation?”
Li Hao asked, puzzled.
Jiang Lichen waved his hand and said, “Don’t think too much, the less you know, the better, the less mental distractions you have, the clearer your understanding will be.”
Li Hao smiled wryly, seeing that he was unwilling to elaborate, he said, “Prince, I am quite busy here, and it’s a border city. You might want to go somewhere else.”
“Not until I break through your Dao Domain.”
Jiang Lichen huffed and ignored Li Hao, his gaze landing on Qianqian, who was holding a sword. His eyes paused on the sword for a moment before he snorted dismissively.
Qianqian, seeing Li Hao return safely, breathed a sigh of relief. She then noticed the old man’s disdainful glance and felt both puzzled and inexplicably indignant.
Even if her cultivation was low, the old man, being so revered, surely had no reason to disdain her?
Li Hao, seeing that the prince had indeed decided to stay put, was at a loss for words. But since the other was a prince, he couldn’t just forcefully remove him, so he said:
“Suit yourself, just don’t disturb me.”
“You mind your business, I’ll mind mine.”
Jiang Lichen said.
Seeing him respond like that, Li Hao didn’t say anything more.
Time passed.
Soldiers were coming in and out of the courtyard, reporting on the search for Feng. All reports came back with no news.
Moreover, Tianji Tower also sent back messages, similarly without any findings. Not only Feng, but Little White Fox had also disappeared without notice. Li Hao had also asked Tianji Tower to help search and to inform him immediately if there was any news, but no trace was found.
Qianqian said that Little White Fox had disappeared suddenly one day. At first, they thought it was just out playing, but when it didn’t return late into the night, they realized it was missing.
When the search parties went out of the city, they found nothing, not even signs of a battle. They tracked down the places where its fur was found but the trail just abruptly ended.
“This little creature, I hope it hasn’t come to harm…”
Li Hao frowned slightly, sighing inwardly.
“Are you looking for someone?”
Jiang Lichen, perceiving the Sword Dao in the courtyard, heard the ongoing reports of the soldiers coming in and out and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Li Hao and said:
“When I came to Mo River to support you, I noticed that there wasn’t much happening there, so I thought I’d come here to see. However, I saw some people fighting in the distance outside the city. Could it be the person you’re looking for?”
Li Hao startled, a fight outside the city?
“Prince, did you see who it was?” Stay updated via empire
“I didn’t pay much attention, but one of them had good movement technique. Unfortunately, he was up against someone from the Grand Tao of Peace Realm. Good skills or not, he stood no chance.”
Li Hao’s heart shuddered, good movement technique?
“When did this occur?”
He couldn’t help asking, if the other was from the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, then it probably wasn’t Feng fighting with Li Tian Gang, but a different battle altogether.
Jiang Lichen thought for a moment and said, “About half a month ago.”
“Half a month ago…” Li Hao was momentarily stunned, this was after the time Feng had fought with Li Tian Gang.
Could it be that, after their battle, Feng hadn’t been driven away but was still secretly protecting Cangya City?
And then got involved in another battle?
