Chapter 970 - Help
Li Huowang turned and saw Bai Lingmiao approaching them.
She bowed to Gao Zhijian.
She now looked significantly better, as though nothing had happened.
“Your Majesty, please acknowledge the White Lotus Sect as the nation’s religion. The White Lotus Sect doesn’t just accept humans but also evil entities. They can all follow your command!”
Gao Zhijian looked at her solemnly before speaking slowly, saying, “Approved.”
“Thank you, your Majesty.”
Bai Lingmiao walked past Li Huowang and pulled him out of the hall.
“Evil entities worship the Heavenly Mater too? Since when? Can they withstand the murderous aura and help summon Jiang Xiangshou?”
Li Huowang hoped it was true. If so, his chances of victory would increase.
Bai Lingmiao did not answer him. Instead, she said something strange: “Li Sui can be saved.”
Li Huowang's heart started to beat irregularly. “What?”
“I said Li Sui can be saved. Our Simings cannot do it, but that’s because we don’t have the Heavenly Dao of Revival. Fu Shengtian’s Simings might have it.”
Bai Lingmiao’s voice trembled with excitement as she revealed her plan. “As long as we rob their Heavenly Dao, we can bring Li Sui back! Not only that, we can bring back anyone we like!”
“Miaomiao, are you alright?” Instead of feeling joy, Li Huowang was worried.
“Me? I’m fine.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“But you...” Li Huowang didn’t know how to explain it. Bai Lingmiao wanted the Heavenly Dao of Revival, but Li Huowang’s method of killing them outright was the safer plan.
Bai Lingmiao shook her head, tugging his robes with her small hands. “I’ve cried enough. It’s time to act. Don’t forget—I’m her mother, and I only have one daughter. I will take their Heavenly Dao to save Suisui, and I will kill anyone who dares harm her!”
Bai Lingmiao and the Second Deity growled simultaneously when they spat those words. The twin beasts had been angered.
“Suisui...” Li Huowang took out the clay figurine from his robes to inspect it before tucking it back again.
“You’re right. Crying won’t revive Suisui! We will kill them! We will bring Suisui back!”
Li Huowang hugged Bai Lingmiao and patted her back several times before releasing her. Their hearts were linked as one now.
The Murderous Aura Command was in motion. Weapons from fallen soldiers were collected and distributed to the commoners.
As more and more commoners were exposed to the murderous aura, the number of fighting incidents increased in Shangjing. Even the sky above Shangjing gradually became thick with a murderous aura.
This was just the start. Soon, the entirety of Shangjing, the Liang Kingdom, Qing Qiu, Hou Shu, and the others would be covered with murderous aura.
This was a suicide method. To defeat Fu Shengtian, they had to rely on Jiang Xiangshou.
Li Huowang stood in the fourth vault, reading the most classified documents of the Surveillance Bureau. He now had the authority to read everything here.
He wanted to know why Jiang Xiangshou was so strong.
Li Huowang was reading a book called The Leader’s Opera, which recorded information about Jiang Xiangshou.
According to the book. Jiang Xiangshou was different from the other Simings. It had no form, no thoughts, no sentience, and no desires. It existed wherever conflict arose, serving as a tool for others to wield.
Special Simings like it were rare, but not non-existent. The Immortal Heaven was one of them.
According to the records within the Surveillance Bureau, special Simings were either rarely ever worshiped or worshiped by almost everyone. However, most of them only worshipped the superficial part of the Siming.
Through the book, Li Huowang realized that Qing Wanglai’s words weren’t lies. It was real.
Qing Wanglai had once claimed to have sought out everyone he could, leaving only the unreachable or untraceable behind. He now realized what that meant—Qing Wanglai couldn’t contact the special Simings at all.
“We can request for their help, but we have to fulfill their conditions...”
Li Huowang recalled when Jiang Xiangshou appeared. Even the bloodlust and anger in him spilled over and was out of his control.
“If I could use Jiang Xiangshou, that means I could also use the other special Simings by fulfilling their conditions too.
“Doesn’t that mean our chances of winning would be greatly increased if we could bring them into our fold?”
Although the other side was merely a projection of the Simings, there were very few clues he could find. This meant that he had to find the clues on this side.
Li Huowang felt his heartbeat quicken. If they could secure their help, their chances of winning would be nearly guaranteed!
Just as Li Huowang asked the eunuchs who worshiped the God of Wealth to search for the necessary documents, he heard many footsteps behind him. Gao Zhijian entered with his entourage of consorts and eunuchs.
“Great timing. Help me contact the other Dragon Veins. They are very knowledgeable, and I wish to learn more about the other Simings!” Li Huowang said.
“Senior Li, we can delay that for a bit. I’m here because I found you a great helper.”
Li Huowang turned around and continued looking for the documents. “No need. I’m already at the sixth stage. I’m just one step away from becoming a Siming. Your helper might not be able to help me much.”
“That might not be the case.”
Numerous voices, each superimposed onto another, came from the back.
Li Huowang looked back with puzzlement and saw a massive wall of faces before him. They were white and covered with white tassels.
“The Lion Dance Palace?”
Li Huowang recognized them. They lived beneath Qing Qiu and cultivated the Dao of Fusion.
“The world is in danger. We can help you.” Just as the enormous, round faces of the Lion Dance Palace spoke, numerous organs covered in white tassels urged towards Li Huowang.
“Stop. I know of your methods. No need to try that.”
The Lion Dance Palace stepped back, but somehow, several eunuchs and consorts had already disappeared.
“Senior Li, how about it? With their help, your cultivation can grow stronger.”
“Is that so?” Li Huowang wasn’t interested. “Thank you, but what I need are ‘Lies.’ Find Shai Zi, and let me swallow him. You’d be able to help me that way.”
“Shai Zi...”
Gao Zhijian frowned before nodding. “I understand. I will send my people to locate Shai Zi.”
Li Huowang didn't have much faith in Gao Zhijian's words. He knew that Shai Zi was not an easy opponent. If he were, they wouldn't have had such a hard time trying to kill him.
Shai Zi was still alive and was now helping Fu Shengtian’s Simings. This was troublesome.
“We can set it aside for now. The world is in danger, and I need your help, Senior Li. Only you can do it.”
