Chapter 384 Someone Has to Pay the Price
Majesty fell ill.""In the Emperor's words, if Your Highness can make use of these two brothers, I will lead you to the ancestral temple. But if not, then let them vanish forever."Su Zhen's words were...Chapter 384 Someone Has to Pay the Price
The sound echoed, and the person had already reached the door.
With a creak, the door swung open. The Saintess looked at the old man standing in the doorway, his whole body shrouded in a black robe, only revealing a face as weathered as tree bark. His expression was utterly impassive.
This old man in front of me gives her a dangerous feeling.
But this danger, for the most part, stems from the wounds they themselves carry.
far less than the feeling of having a thorn in one's back when facing the Three Treasures, where even a slight misstep could lead to utter ruin.
The mutual sensing between masters allowed the Saintess to immediately realize that the old man before her was at the same level of mastery as she was in her prime.
Right now, she is injured and unable to fight effectively, but there's no need for excessive fear.
As the elder arrived, Li Yinhǔ's senses immediately returned to clarity.
He took two steps back, standing beside the elderly man by the door, and said angrily, "You actually used demonic sound to ensnare me!"
The Holy Maiden said plainly, "Your Highness is well-informed, even knowing about the Demon Sound"
Judging by this, he obviously doesn't want to respond to Li Yinhǔ's accusations.
Li Yinhu gritted his teeth, but he was helpless.
"What do you want" Li Yinhǔ asked in a low voice.
"This battle, the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses. The imperial court will not easily let the White Lotus Sect go, so greater losses are still to come. In order to avoid further losses, we can only eliminate the person who caused the losses."
The Holy Maiden said coldly, "My Lord, we must continue to cooperate with the White Lotus Sect."
Li Yinhu laughed furiously, "What do you take the prince for You think assassinating him is as simple as saying so This first attempt was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you all failed to seize it. The opportunity has passed. A second attempt He'll be on high alert now, with layers of protection around him. Even a fly couldn't get into the East Palace, let alone an assassin!"
"You know he's already suspected me. If I force myself to intervene, I'm pushing him to kill me!"
Enraged, Li Yinhu didn't even bother addressing me as your majesty. He just called me by my name.
The Saintess’s eyes were cold as she said, “Next time we strike, the White Lotus Church will send out two Dharma Kings to protect the teachings. Together, they would be more than a match for the Three Treasures Eunuch. As long as they can hold him off, once I've recovered from my injuries, I can personally take down the Prince.”
"And what the prince needed to do was simple, he just had to provide the White Lotus sect with an opportunity."
Li Yinhu gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering with uncertainty, but he didn't speak right away.
He's starting to regret getting involved with the White Lotus Cult, these crazy people.
These lunatics are completely relentless, like rabid dogs until they achieve their goal.
After failing once, what you consider is not how to hide and cut your losses first, but to continue fighting desperately.
If things really went south with such a mad dog, Li Yinhu wouldn't even dare to guess what the Saintess in front of him would do.
After much deliberation, Li Yinhu still felt that no matter what, he should first stabilize the White Lotus Sect. Directly confronting the Holy Maiden right now would be unwise.
As for what happens next, we can only take it one step at a time.
“Your Majesty has promised you!”
Li Yinhu gritted his teeth and said, "But you also know that the Crown Prince is not so easy to assassinate, not to mention that now is when they are most on guard. Acting rashly will only invite disaster. So for this period of time, you must lie low and not make a single sound. Everything, wait for me to find an opportunity."
The Saintess gazed deeply at Li Yinhu, saying, "Then I shall give the Prince two more months."
Li Yinhu angrily said: "Opportunities like this, they may come tomorrow, or they may not appear for half a year. How can two months guarantee anything"
That's the prince's business.
The Holy Maiden said coldly, "The blood of the White Lotus Sect will not be shed in vain. Someone must pay the price, either the Prince or the King." training, you were assigned to my personal camp."Wang Da zhao suddenly choked up and said: “Wu Shuai, all these years, where have you been Your brothers all miss you.”Wu Qingcang also felt a bit emot...
