Chapter 243 Blood for blood?
When the white light dissipated, the surroundings had turned into a desolate land. A bloody shadow stood in the void. After standing for a while, he suddenly half-knelt on the ground, covering his chest, coughing several times, and his face was covered with blood.
Half of his body was burned by the flames, and his injuries were even more serious.
Not only that.
Being able to survive this explosion had already consumed a great deal of his spiritual energy reserves.
It was even second only to the attack a hundred years ago.
Li Shanhe's hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he murmured, "Wanji Buddha..."
The explosive power of the Wanji Buddha's relics is extremely terrifying. If it were not for the protection of the mountains, rivers and national destiny, his situation would have been even more dangerous.
After this explosion, he was seriously injured. He knew that Li Changxiao must have left by now, but even if he wanted to chase him, he was powerless!
If he pursues by force, his situation will become even worse. He will naturally feel angry and will chase and kill at all costs, but if it really involves his own life, he will naturally be reluctant to do so.
He looked in a certain direction and clenched his fists. He had not felt this way for a long time since he became emperor.
"His Majesty!"
The officials arrived late.
……
Li Shanhe took a carriage back to the city and recuperated for several days before gradually recovering. However, his body was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When he felt a little better, his body became more than twice as hunched when he walked.
Visibly aged.
If the Li Shanhe in the past looked like a middle-aged man with great power, the Li Shanhe now is gradually moving towards old age and frailty.
The Wanji Buddha's relics exploded, and several mysterious sounds invaded his body. Now they are still vibrating inside his body, disturbing his midnight every day. His five internal organs are in constant pain and he is very uncomfortable.
His five internal organs are weak and need to be recuperated, so he should not walk around.
The pursuit of Li Changxiao was naturally delayed. Some princes in the palace received the news and rushed over in a hurry. When they saw their father in such a state, they immediately cried out in grief.
Li Shanhe sat in a wooden wheelchair because he was not able to walk. When he saw his descendants, he sighed silently.
Looking back on the past, he had almost never been defeated in his life, but he never thought that he would eventually lose to that thief. He was filled with great hatred and wished he could skin and pull out the thief's tendons, but if he wanted to stay alive and live longer, he could only rest.
evening.
sunset.
Li Shanhe was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, wearing a mink cloak. The scene reminded him of a hero's old age. His fists under his clothes clenched and unclenched.
On the other side, the princes who came after hearing the news all turned pale with fear.
They had never seen their father fall into such a state. They had never expected that their father, who had personally hunted him down, would be injured like this.
Especially Li Tianyu. He felt that Li Changxiao, the instigator of this incident, could no longer be described as a ruthless person. This was simply weird.
He really couldn't imagine how that guy did it.
After resting here for a few days, Li Shanhe and the other princes returned to the court in a carriage.
As soon as he returned to the court, Li Shanhe issued an order to kill Ling Tian.
The portrait of Li Changxiao spread all over the country. If anyone could kill this boy, he would be a guest of honor in the Lingtian Dynasty.
Li Tianxia saw some exasperation in this action and murmured, "I'm really old."
But the days just passed one by one.
One day.
There was a prince whose life was in danger and he was about to die of old age. Before he died, he asked to see Li Shanhe.
This prince's name is Li Tianshang. He is the youngest prince in terms of age and could have lived for a long time. Unfortunately, he met his former enemy halfway ten years ago. After a fight, he used up all his remaining spiritual energy and was injured by the enemy. In the past ten years, Lingtian Dynasty has found many elixirs for him, but it still can't cure him. Day by day, he is wasting time. Today, it is indeed the end of his life.
As soon as Li Tianshang saw Li Shanhe, he bent down and was about to kneel. Li Shanhe took pity on him and exempted him from these formalities. Li Tianshang stated his purpose, saying that he had come to share the worries of His Majesty.
Upon hearing this, Li Shanhe waved his hand and asked him to leave. He was about to be buried, so how could he share his worries? However, Li Tianshang not only refused to leave, but also said, "Father, have you ever heard of 'blood for blood'?"
Hearing this, Li Shanhe's brows relaxed. "Are you talking about 'repaying blood with blood', the evil method of Pingtian Temple?"
"Yes." Li Tianshang nodded, "I ask my father to use my blood to mark that traitor, so that he will know that if he messes with the Lingtian Dynasty, he will be hunted down endlessly!"
The so-called "blood for blood" technique is used to mark blood, lock the whereabouts, and hunt down enemies. Forces that claim to be righteous will not use this technique easily.
Li Shanhe frowned, showing hesitation, "'Blood for blood' is the evil magic of Pingtian Temple. You can't use it whenever you want. It also requires a lot of lives to be sacrificed. How can you use it easily?"
Li Tianshang said in a serious tone: "Father, when did you become so indecisive? That villain first killed my mother, then killed my brothers, and then hurt my father. This is a great rebellion and an act that hurts the harmony of heaven. To put it in a bigger way, he wants to interrupt the dragon energy of my Lingtian Dynasty. If we don't kill him, how can my Lingtian Dynasty keep its reputation?"
"I have made up my mind to die. I am only waiting for the order from my father. I will use my blood to mark the blood of that villain. This way, it will be much easier for you brothers to hunt him down. Even if he can run away, there will be no peace from now on until he dies of exhaustion!!"
Li Tianshang spoke loudly, his words were sonorous and powerful, and Li Shanhe gradually hesitated, his eyes slightly narrowed. It did make sense to say so.
Li Tianshang said again: "Father, I heard that there is a city suspected of rebellion. Why not use the blood of this city as a sacrifice, and add my life to complete the art of blood for blood, and then spread the rumor that it was the Li Tian Dynasty that massacred the city! This will boost the morale of the soldiers, and the Li Tian Dynasty, which is getting weaker, will be conquered in no time! It is really a move that kills three birds with one stone!"
Hearing this, Li Shanhe played with the jade teacup in his hand.
The candlelight flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
......
outside the hall.
Li Tianyu felt that his father must be depressed after suffering such a blow. If he went over to him and said some nice words and took on some responsibilities, he would surely win his father's favor.
From a distance, one could see the hunched-over, very old Li Tianshang walking into the hall.
He frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, this Li Tianshang was a cousin of his who was about to die.
Why would a dying man go to his father's palace? He was about to die, so why would he go to share his father's worries? Although Li Tianyu considered himself a filial son, he could not do this.
Li Tianyu keenly realized that there might be something fishy going on. He made a secret note of it and returned the same way.
……
Several days passed.
Li Shanhe has been thinking about this matter. Before its demise, the Pingtian Palace was one of the most powerful killer organizations in the world. Their killing skills were unparalleled, and their bloodline tracking of blood for blood was unbreakable.
Before the spiritual energy was exhausted, it could still be used to activate this secret method. But now it can only be activated by blood. Now, the Lingtian Dynasty is constantly at war with the Chitian Dynasty and the Litian Dynasty. There is a lot of blood and energy. If it is collected slowly, it can be activated.
But... Li Tianshang's life span is not long. The most important thing about this secret method is that it requires the sacrifice of a living life with a blood relationship.
Li Shanhe hesitated for several days and finally made a decision. He thought what Li Tianshang said made sense, so the two of them chose a day to take a ship south.
According to Li Tianshang, there is a Dragon City in the south, which is surrounded by high mountains and long rivers, and is suspected to be affiliated with the Chitian Dynasty.
This city is the most appropriate price to pay for the evil magic.
After all, this was not a glorious thing. Only Li Shanhe and Li Tianshang knew about it, so it was naturally held in secret.
However, there was another prince who knew about this, and that was Li Tianyu. The power he held now was already enormous, and he was aware of all the big and small things happening in the palace.
When Li Tianyu learned that his father wanted to use the life of a city to perform the "blood for blood" strategy, he did not dare to believe it at first. He thought that his father must have become senile. If it were his old father, the one who ruled an entire continent, he would never agree to it.
But later, he suddenly realized what was going on and knew that there was someone with bad intentions behind the scenes, so he knocked on Li Tianxia's door that day.
He got straight to the point and laughed despite his anger, "Sister, you really have a good plan."
After Li Tianyu bumped into Li Tianshang outside his father's palace, he sent someone to investigate Li Tianshang and learned that he was close to Li Tianxia. Li Tianxia was a woman who never did anything without profit, so it was not an exaggeration to say that Li Tianshang was useless. There were only one or two things that could be gained from him, so it was not difficult to guess.
Li Tianxia was stunned, her eyes blank and innocent.
Li Tianyu was a little angry. He knew what kind of person this woman was. He pointed at her and said angrily, "You are really vicious. Don't think I don't know your purpose."
"You are just taking advantage of my father's anger to target Immortal Mu! You are really vicious. Where do you put the lives of the people in that city? Have you ever considered that my father is a wise man, and after this incident, he will definitely be a big stain!"
That Dragon City is one of the places where the River Mother originated and grew strong. If it were to be sacrificed in blood, the impact on the River Mother can be imagined. It is not an exaggeration to say that its foundation has been shaken.
Hearing this, Li Tianxia simply stopped pretending to be innocent. She smiled contemptuously. If she hadn't deduced behind the scenes, how could Li Tianshang have the secret technique of Pingtian Temple?
She laughed at Li Tianyu, and also laughed at her father Li Shanhe.
"Father has really grown old. His mind and courage are no longer as broad as before." Li Tianxia murmured without responding.
Li Tianyu was furious when he heard this, but he didn't say much in the end. He glared at her coldly and sent people to prepare the imperial wheel to head south as quickly as possible.
One is that they think this move is inappropriate.
If this happened, it would be a stain for generations to come, and he didn't want to see his father like this.
Second, the people of Longcheng are indeed innocent.
Third, Mu Xianchang has a good relationship with him. If he becomes emperor in the future, the country will be stable!
