Evil Emperor seemed to realize something and said, “So, all the scenes of Emperor Wu’s beheading that people saw at that time were just illusions?”

“Indeed.”

Master Le Kong nodded and said, “At the time, I activated the Vajra Relic, and the illusion covered a hundred miles around Martial General Mountain. Everything people saw there was just a false image.”

“Donor Qin has been rescued by me to Xiping Temple, but he is severely injured. His Divine Soul is wounded. Even if he survives, it’s hard for him to recover.”

Lu Qing vaguely understood who they were talking about and asked in surprise and joy, “Grandfather is still alive, right?”

Master Le Kong remained silent, which was a tacit acknowledgment.

Chen Tang sighed silently in his heart.

Master Le Kong is truly skillful.

Even if he had saved Emperor Wu by force then, he would have been hunted relentlessly by various factions.

Only by faking Emperor Wu’s death could he completely escape!

Evil Emperor asked again, “Where has he been hiding all these years, why hasn’t he come out?”

“Amitabha, Amitabha.”

Master Le Kong sighed and said, “After this turn of events, Donor Qin has seen through worldly affairs and no longer desires to compete for power.”

“Moreover, Donor Qin is inherently kind and righteous. He once said that he had wronged too many people in his life. If he came out again, the Divine Land would surely fall into chaos, and his subordinates would not meet a good end.”

Chen Tang was silent, recalling the scene where Emperor Wu mentioned the battle of Snow Ridge.

In his heart, he felt deep guilt and remorse for the heroic souls of the soldiers who died at Snow Ridge.

So he chose to live in seclusion on Snow Ridge for the rest of his life.

Chen Tang had been curious.

Emperor Wu spent all his time on Snow Mountain, only accompanied by the Mountain Lord. Wasn’t he lonely?

Thinking about it now, perhaps because of those soldiers buried on Snow Ridge, Emperor Wu was able to stay there for decades.

Recalling these past events, because Emperor Wu defeated the high monks from India and seized the Vajra Relic to give it to Master Le Kong.

Precisely because of this, Master Le Kong later helped him.

Using the great power of the Vajra Relic, they deceived everyone and faked his death to escape.

The causes and effects of this are truly lamentable.

But, what is the relationship between Evil Emperor and Emperor Wu?

Why is Evil Emperor so concerned about Emperor Wu?

“What kind of kindness and righteousness, just a heartless and unfaithful person!”

Evil Emperor sneered.

Chen Tang felt a stir in his heart.

This tone…

Could it be…

He and Lu Qing exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

Upon hearing this, Master Le Kong smiled wryly and said, “I do not understand the matters between men and women. But Donor Qin once told me personally that he truly wronged you.”

Hearing this, Chen Tang had no more doubts.

So, there was such a story between Emperor Wu and Evil Emperor back then.

Evil Emperor sneered and said, “Need you, a monk, to meddle and apologize for him? Why doesn’t he come and tell me himself?”

Afterward, Evil Emperor’s gaze shifted to Chen Tang and coldly asked, “Kid, where is he?”

“I don’t know.”

Chen Tang ignored the threatening look from Evil Emperor and replied coldly.

Evil Emperor was taken aback.

This boy, having seen her methods, dared to speak to her like this?

“I can save you, and I can kill you!”

Evil Emperor’s face showed a murderous look, and she said slowly, “I’ll ask you one more time, will you tell me or not!”

Lu Qing looked nervous.

Master Le Kong also frowned deeply.

Faced with Evil Emperor’s threat, Chen Tang was unafraid, sneered, and said, “Kill me if you want, stop wasting words! I won’t say anything even if you kill me!”

“Are you crazy!”

After a pause, Chen Tang still felt unsatisfied and blurted out another sentence.

After holding it in for so long, he finally spoke his mind.

Chen Tang felt an immense sense of relief and joy.

Since he couldn’t win a fight, he could only win with words.

Of course, he was actually scared to death inside…

He dared to speak this way because he had his reasons and wasn’t being reckless.

Firstly, with Master Le Kong watching from the side, even if Evil Emperor acted, Master Le Kong could hold her back.

Secondly, Emperor Wu had instructed him not to reveal his whereabouts.

Chen Tang would never break his word.

Moreover, this Evil Emperor is like a lunatic. If she goes to Snow Mountain, who knows what will happen.

Thirdly, and most importantly.

This lunatic is called Evil Emperor, and her actions are very different from ordinary people.

If a normal person heard his words, they would have slapped him to death in rage.

The lunatic probably wouldn’t…

Chen Tang’s words startled Lu Qing.

She quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Chen Tang, and looked apprehensively at Evil Emperor.

She also turned her head for help and looked at Master Le Kong.

Unexpectedly, Master Le Kong appeared calm and was not as tense as before.

Evil Emperor stared at Chen Tang without expression for a long time before she nodded and said, “Well, well, well, you’ve got guts! You want me to kill you? I won’t kill you!”

“Truly a lunatic.”

Chen Tang silently complained in his heart.

Evil Emperor, lost in thought, stood still.

Originally, she should have been extremely resentful of Emperor Wu in her heart.

But upon hearing that Emperor Wu was still alive, she found she couldn’t muster hatred, feeling instead a sense of relief, even a bit of joy.

Back then, knowing Emperor Wu was in trouble, she hardened her heart and didn’t rescue him.

Thinking back, there was some regret.

No matter what, they had shared incredibly happy times.

That’s why she entrusted Feng Xu with bringing Qin Xi out of the capital.

Evil Emperor seemed a bit dazed.

She suddenly realized that over the years, regarding that past, she perhaps had already let it go.

They were at that age, how many more years could they live?

What could they not let go of?

“Is this young man your successor?”

“You have good judgment, he indeed has some of your old charisma.”

“But, he actually called me a lunatic!”

“For all these years, no one has dared to insult me like that.”

“If not for seeing that he was your successor, I would definitely not spare him, humph!”

Evil Emperor looked at Chen Tang’s Dantian and said softly, “Don’t get cocky, that Vajra Relic in your Dantian is only temporarily sealed by the two of us.”

“Inside your Dantian is the Vajra Relic and the True Martial Arts intent of both of us, don’t think about cultivating Inner Qi.”

“Ah?”

Chen Tang was stunned and instinctively looked at Master Le Kong.

Master Le Kong nodded slightly, indicating that what Evil Emperor said was true.

“Can’t the seal be undone?”

Chen Tang tentatively asked.

Master Le Kong shook his head, “Not now, the energy of the Vajra Relic is too vast, your body can’t bear it.”

“So just let it sit in my Dantian?”

Chen Tang widened his eyes.

What is this?

Postnatal kidney stone?

“This… is also Donor Chen’s fate.”

Master Le Kong clasped his hands together and said, “After some time, when the Vajra Relic gradually integrates with Donor Chen’s body and stops being repelled, you might be able to unseal it and find a way to take it out.”

“Might?”

Chen Tang’s eyes widened even more.

Master Le Kong said, “Monks do not lie, the situation you are in, I have not encountered before, so I can’t say for certain…”

Chen Tang: “…”

Am I being used for experimentation?
