Chapter 83: Is Wu Zetian Still Unrepentant? The Fourth Place Arrives!
Su Lie ignored Cao Cao's question.
She only gave him a suggestive look.
Cao Cao was incredibly astute, and he understood immediately.
"Oh! A glitch... capsized...!"
He dared not say another word and quickly vanished as a ghost.
Seeing its owner leave, the river crab could only mutter curses under its breath as it departed.
"ah?!"
Lan Fuzi felt a warmth in her heart upon witnessing this scene.
How could she not see that General Su Lie was deliberately letting her win?
But surely a general guarding a city wouldn't dare to open a back door so blatantly?
Unless it is...
Before she could finish her thought, Su Lie waved to the city wall.
"Someone, take her into the city to heal her wounds."
Several Red Guards immediately ran over with a stretcher, lifted Lan Fuzi up, and carried him into the city.
...
Behind the City Lord's Mansion in Chang'an City.
"It ended faster than I expected."
"These guys are not only sensible, but they also work very efficiently."
Ye Han read it from beginning to end, a faint smile curving his lips.
At that moment, Li Xin's report also arrived immediately:
"Reporting to the City Lord, the matter has been handled as you requested. Apart from the Sea Witch, the three soul beasts have entered the city. When can we arrange an audience with you?"
Ye Han pondered for a moment, then slowly replied with four words:
"Arrange it as soon as possible."
Judging from what just happened, the Icefield Bear King Xiaobai was after the Tribulation-Crossing Pill.
Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi are urgently seeking the "ultimate" healing and treatment.
Presumably, after the Deep Sea Demon Whale King surpassed one million years in power, it engaged in a great battle with Seagod Island.
The more important their requests are to them, the more confident he is in getting them to willingly submit to his faith!
〖receive!〗
Soon, Li Xin's reply came back from the other side, brief yet composed.
"I wonder how Wan'er is doing."
Ye Han turned his gaze towards the direction of the Tranquil Heart Palace and murmured to himself:
"Wu Zetian, I hope that after two and a half years of seclusion, you will have some repentance."
As the only female emperor in China's five thousand years of history, Wu Zetian was someone Ye Han had a very good impression of.
Two and a half years ago, Ye Han would fulfill any wish Wu Zetian had, treating her like a younger sister.
Even when he discovered that she was absorbing the chaotic energy of his martial soul, Ye Han did not expose her and indulged her.
Who knew...
"I treated you like a younger sister, but you only lusted after my body and power, sigh~"
Ye Han sighed deeply, then a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes:
"It's been two and a half years. If you still don't repent, I'll have to personally discipline you!"
"Let me make it clear to you—who should be below and who should be above!"
Recalling the feeling of being overthrown and ravaged by Wu Zetian back then, Ye Han felt truly miserable.
If a master is ridden by a subordinate, how will the world view him if this gets out?
If Wu Zetian hadn't been so domineering and forceful back then, perhaps he would have pretended to be confused and submitted to her!
...
Chang'an City, Jingxin Palace.
The palace is located deep within a quiet bamboo forest in the city.
It occupies a vast area and is comparable to the city lord's mansion.
It was specially built by Ye Han to allow Wu Zetian to meditate in peace.
The attendants are red soldiers, and the guards are red super soldiers, totaling more than thirty.
Super soldiers are already extremely powerful individually, and with so many of them combined, even Wu Zetian would not be able to handle them.
Shangguan Wan'er had already entered the palace and found Wu Zetian admiring the flowers in the courtyard.
"Wan'er, it's been a long time since you've come. Did the City Lord send you here specifically to test the waters?"
Wu Zetian turned her head and looked over, her tone somewhat languid, but a sharp edge was hidden deep in her phoenix eyes.
She and Shangguan Wan'er had been close friends for many years, and she could know what Shangguan Wan'er was thinking without saying a word.
"yes..."
Shangguan Wan'er knew she couldn't hide it from the other party, so she nodded:
"Lord Wu, do you have any remorse?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian slowly approached, a faint smile playing on her lips:
"I have never regretted it."
Shangguan Wan'er was startled and said hastily:
"Lord Wu, have you gone mad? Not only are you unrepentant, but you also dare to call yourself that! If the city lord finds out... oh dear!"
Before she could finish speaking, Wu Zetian suddenly grabbed her by the neck and chuckled playfully in her ear:
"I just want what I want, what's wrong with that? Besides, haven't you already fallen in love with him? Don't you want him too?"
"If you help me get out, I will help you capture the city lord, and we can serve each other as husbands from now on. What do you say?"
Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face flushed red from being pinched, and she managed to squeeze out the words with difficulty:
"No matter what, we must not disobey the City Lord! Wan'er does indeed want to be with the City Lord, but I will not resort to disobedience like you have!"
"If your method works, you won't be under house arrest here until now!"
Wu Zetian chuckled, her fingertips gently caressing the delicate skin of Shangguan Wan'er's neck, her tone full of mockery:
"Wan'er, you are still too naive. The city lord is a responsible person. As long as he gets to have our bodies, he will definitely take full responsibility."
"Back then, I was only one step away from success. If I could do it again, I would surely succeed! Why not consider joining forces with me to take down the city lord!"
Shangguan Wan'er was unwilling to believe it, but the events of the day involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
The city lord had only accidentally touched Yun Ying, yet he appeared flustered and as if he wanted to take responsibility.
If he really gets to have sex with her, he might actually do what Master Wu said... take full responsibility!
Wu Zetian, seeing that she believed her, continued:
"Wan'er, if you want something, you have to be ruthless. Otherwise, if someone else gets there first, you won't even have time to regret it!"
She knew that many people in the city also had feelings for the city lord, so she deliberately emphasized the latter part of her speech.
When Shangguan Wan'er thought of Hua Mulan, and then of women like Jialuo and Yang Yuhuan, her resolve finally wavered!
However, she still had a bottom line: she wanted to express her feelings openly and honestly, and she would never resort to such a tactic before being rejected!
"Lord Wu, Wan'er takes her leave!"
"Don't worry, Wan'er won't tell anyone about today's conversation."
Shangguan Wan'er broke free from Wu Zetian and fled quickly, somewhat disheveled.
Wu Zetian was not surprised; a knowing smile flashed in her phoenix eyes.
"Hehe, as long as you're willing to try, you'll never have trouble getting hooked."
"Wan'er, you will soon understand that sincerity alone is not enough to win over a man like that."
...
at the same time.
The outer tavern of the Killing City.
"We've finally found the entrance! I wonder if my older brother and the others have found Uncle yet?!"
After escaping from Chang'an, Tang Lie did not return to his sect, but instead rushed here at full speed.
"In Chang'an City, you killed my third brother, Tang Wei. Once I find my eldest uncle, I will make you pay the price!"
He turned and glared fiercely at the sky behind him, then leaped down from the entrance of the City of Slaughter and ventured deeper into the city.
In his view, no matter how many god-level martial souls Chang'an possessed, he was still not a god, but his uncle Tang Chen was different.
According to the information in the sky, his uncle had become the King of Slaughter, which meant he must have mastered divine power and even wielded the super artifact, the Asura Demon Sword!
What is Chang'an City compared to divine power and the Asura Demon Sword?!
Chang'an City, prepare to be buried with his third brother, Tang Wei!
...
The fifth-ranked Martial Soul has been announced since then.
Two and a half incense sticks' worth of time has passed.
All living beings under heaven remained agitated, their eyes fixed intently on the sky above.
"Why is it taking so long this time? When will the fourth place be announced?!"
"I'd like to see what martial spirit can rank above Li Bai's number one sword in the world!"
At this moment, both human and spirit beast forces were discussing and eagerly anticipating what was to come.
"Boom—"
Finally, amidst the turmoil of everyone's emotions, the sky above suddenly lit up, and dazzling golden light illuminated the world.
Accompanied by a resounding boom that shook the universe, the divine characters on the celestial screen transformed and reorganized, gradually transforming into lines of new characters:
