Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

"Can't we disband the alliance?"

"It's possible, but if the Yellow Emperor had agreed, that incident wouldn't have happened. Judging from the investigation report, he was kept in the dark..."

Emperor Gouchen stared at the chessboard, his brows furrowed. "Perhaps there are other methods, but they have clearly chosen the most direct and effective one!"

"But despite all their calculations, they didn't anticipate that Cangjie's guardian spirit, being a member of the Yellow Emperor's camp, would actually choose to commit suicide to save that girl. What a hero!"

"But this has actually helped us a lot..."

Li Moxuan's expression was a bit strange. These guys were putting on such a show in front of Emperor Yan. Did they really not consider what Emperor Yan thought?

However, upon closer reflection, it seems that Emperor Yan really couldn't do anything about them. Even if he sought an explanation from Emperor Huang, Emperor Huang couldn't possibly kill them; at most, he would suffer some physical pain.

Moreover, if they fail to reach an agreement and the negotiations break down, it could force the Yanhuang Alliance to disband, and they would no longer have to serve the Yan Emperor's guardian spirits.

Of course, even in the worst-case scenario—when war breaks out—they wouldn't be afraid of their former defeated adversaries…

Chapter 405: Repeating the Same Mistake

"So, any more questions?"

Li Moxuan subconsciously shook his head, but quickly nodded again, "How long will it take for the Great Emperor Ziwei to return?"

"It won't be long, maybe two or three days?"

"That's good……"

Li Moxuan breathed a sigh of relief. Next week he would be helping someone else fight for the position of Pope. If he couldn't summon the guardian deity, what if he was beaten into a five-year sleep again? That would be a disaster.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I have another question I'd like to ask..."

"Okay, go ahead and ask!"

"I want to know why I was in a coma for so long. Even the most serious injuries shouldn't cause me to sleep for five years, and I didn't become a vegetable..."

Emperor Gouchen chuckled softly, not in a hurry to answer, "If Ziwei hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had nine sealed guardian deities within you!"

"Do you know how much divine power it takes to summon these nine guardian deities at the same time? It's almost two-thirds of the divine power in your body, and that's just the summoning; there's also the consumption during battle..."

He took a deep breath and looked Li Moxuan up and down. "I really don't know why the old man Taiqing took a liking to you and stepped in to solve this problem for you!"

"In addition, he helped you neutralize the four forces within your body, making them completely your own, as if they were innate..."

Li Moxuan was a little confused. "Grandmaster Taiqing helped me?"

"Yes, the Tai Chi diagram in your divine sea was left by him. Over the past five years, it has transformed the divine power within you, making it almost equivalent to the divine power of a god..."

To put it more simply, if this were before your transformation, you would at most be able to barely defeat a fifth-level Immortal Realm Deity!

"And if you can now skillfully control the divine power that has transformed within you, defeating someone at the fifth level of the Immortal Realm will be a piece of cake..."

After a moment, Li Moxuan asked, "Your Majesty, why did the Supreme Emperor help me so much?"

Even if one wants to establish order in the chaotic Great Thousand God Realm, is it really necessary to do this?

"How could we possibly fathom the thoughts of the late Emperor Taiqing? Perhaps he has something he wants you to do in the future!"

Emperor Gouchen paused, looking at the chessboard before him that had become a dead end, somewhat surprised. "Ziwei is quite right, you play chess very well..."

"Your Majesty is too kind. I was merely lucky. I'm afraid I must take my leave now..."

"Well, let's go!"

After leaving Chang'an, Li Moxuan sat on the bed and tried to contact Jiang Ciyou again through the divine decree, but he still couldn't get through...

He tried to contact Tang Wunian again, and this time he succeeded. Tang Wunian's image was projected onto the divine decree.

However, compared to before, he appeared more mature and composed, and exuded a chilling aura. In addition, his broken leg had been restored.

"Ling, Brother Lingyan, is that you?"

Tang Wunian's tone carried a hint of disbelief. For the past five years, he had been unable to contact Li Moxuan, and he couldn't find any news about him through the Tang Clan's intelligence network.

He thought Li Moxuan had met with misfortune!

"It's me. I've been through some trouble these past few years..."

Li Moxuan did not mention that he had been in a coma for five years. "Wu Nian, how is the Tang Sect doing now?"

"With the help of the Underworld, I've recovered somewhat; at least I can accept assassination missions again..."

Another assassination attempt? Aren't you afraid of repeating the same mistakes?

"Wu Nian, isn't the Tang Clan skilled at making hidden weapons? Maybe we shouldn't try to assassinate them..."

Faced with Li Moxuan's advice, Tang Wunian simply shook his head, "Brother Lingyan, that kind of Tang Clan wouldn't be the Tang Clan anymore..."

Ok!

Li Moxuan wasn't a member of the Tang Clan, so he didn't intend to continue trying to persuade him. He then asked about the important matter, "Wu Nian, do you have any news about Hall Master Jiang?"

"Hall Master Jiang?"

Tang Wunian was a little surprised; he thought the two of them had always been in contact! However, he had indeed heard the news.

"A year ago, assassins from the Tang Clan spotted her near the Tower of Ascension, but there has been no further news of her since..."

Is that all?

Li Moxuan sighed softly, as if remembering something, and then asked, "Has your uncle returned?"

Tang Wunian shook his head. He actually thought Tang Tiannan might already be dead. "Brother Lingyan, if you have time, could you come back to Qianji City? I have something I'd like to ask you for help with!"

"Let's wait two weeks! I have some things to take care of..."

"Row……"

Li Moxuan put away the Divine Decree and began to think about his next move. He had originally planned to help the Tang Sect, but now it seemed that they didn't need him at all.

Next... I'll train in the Great Thousand God Realm for a while, and after five years, I'll be able to go back.

He still remembered the message Jiang Mingxuan had given him: Bai Shui'er and the others should have been near the Red Lotus Forest in the South District and the Di Luo Mountains in the East District at that time.

Perhaps I can prepare in advance. I've already been to the Emperor's Fall Mountains, and the Ghost Realm there has been destroyed, so there shouldn't be any danger.

I haven't been to the Red Lotus Forest yet, but I can go there after my trip to Thousand Machine City, while I'm still training...

"senior……"

At this moment, Yue Xiling walked into the room carrying a lunchbox, followed by a man who looked to be around thirty years old.

The man was dressed in a black priest's robe, with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing his strong arms and a prominent cross-shaped scar on the back of his left hand.

He had brilliant blond hair, a wooden cross that had been polished to a shine around his neck, and an old Bible bag and a silver dagger at his waist.

"This is Pastor Arthur; he's been responsible for your treatment all these years..."

Doesn't he seem a bit like the priest from the monastery who adopted Freud and Crimson? He was also apparently assigned to guard Azazel...

Li Moxuan glanced at him and tentatively asked, "Arthur Holland, is your guardian deity Raphael?"

Arthur assumed Yue Xiling had introduced him to him, so he nodded. "That's right, I am Arthur Holland!"

Li Moxuan fell silent... So, this must be Pastor Arthur, who will raise Freud and Honglian in the future, and was probably sent down from the Great Thousand World...

But didn't Emperor Taizong say that people from the Great Thousand Worlds are not allowed to enter the Underworld? Or was he given special permission because he was in charge of Azazel, a war criminal from the Great Thousand Worlds?

After the guardian deity enters the underworld with the spirit of the underworld, it will also become a guardian spirit, and a divine martial spirit at that...

"Mr. Li..."

Arthur, unaware of Li Moxuan's thoughts, spoke up, "Sect Leader Sylvia asked me to check your physical condition. If you'd like, please sit down!"

Chapter 406: Without a Trace

It's quite embarrassing to say, but Yue Xiling took care of Li Moxuan for five years, yet she didn't even know his name and could only use the pseudonym Li Moxuan that he had mentioned before.

However, it was clearly a girl's name, so to avoid trouble, she changed the last character from "萱" to "轩", and her name became Li Moxuan.

"Thank you for your help, Pastor Arthur..."

Just call me Arthur!

Arthur walked up to Li Moxuan, grasped the cross in his hand, and with a burst of holy light, the phantom of Archangel Raphael appeared behind him.

Bathed in holy light, a warm feeling washed over Li Moxuan, and he relaxed completely...

Arthur quickly withdrew his divine power and smiled, "Mr. Li, your body is healthier than I expected. There shouldn't be any problems with the final battle next week!"

Thank you!

"Well, I'll head back now. Feel free to find me at the church anytime if you need anything; Miss Yue knows where it is..."

After saying that, Arthur left the room and closed the door behind him. Yue Xiling then placed all the food from the lunchbox on the table.

She pulled out a chair. "Senior, please try some. I made all of these myself!"

Over the past five years, she learned a lot from Sylvia when she was bored, and cooking was one of them...

Thank you!

Li Moxuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to eat by himself; he was indeed a little hungry...

"tide Ling, thank you for taking care of me these past five years. I owe you a favor!"

Sitting opposite Li Moxuan, Yue Xiling rested her chin on her hands and gently shook her head, "No need. If it weren't for taking me away, you wouldn't have been so badly injured!"

He paused, then continued, "Whether it's for public or private reasons, this is what I should do..."

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior, since you're alright now, I plan to take my leave in a while..."

Farewell?

"where to?"

“I have a good friend who helped rescue me five years ago, but she has been missing for the past five years…”

Yue Xiling took a deep breath. "I want to go find her. Also, that old man is dead, and I want to go home!"

Li Moxuan pondered for a moment, "I have some connections in the Tang Sect. They have a huge intelligence network in the Great Thousand God Realm. I can ask them to help you find out, as a way of returning the favor!"

"Okay, thank you, senior!"

Yue Xiling knew she was outnumbered and outmatched, and her desire to return to Huanmengtian was also to use it as a means to inquire about Jiang Ciyou's whereabouts...
