478: Chapter 55 How to Save the World 478: Chapter 55 How to Save the World “This is a reward for Xie Zhen.”
The snow filled the dungeons of the Imperial City Department.
A moment later.
Xie Zhen’s voice was extremely soft as he gave an explanation.
Just this one sentence.
This quiet chamber was cold enough to terrify anyone.
Yuan Jimo’s face was flush with anger, yet he still managed to control his emotions to prevent a complete loss of composure.
Standing beside him, Special Enforcement Officer Que Qi was trembling all over, unable to speak or even lift his head under the immense pressure from the Chief of the Imperial City Department and Xie Zhen.
After a long while.
Yuan Jimo lowered his eyelids, took a deep breath, and murmured with self-mockery: “A reward…”
What a reward.
He slowly shifted his gaze towards Que Qi.
The latter, moving his stiff legs, quickly left.
Soon, Que Qi brought back the second object from the Golden Scroll.
Both rewards were then handed over to Xie Zhen.
“Tell Xie Zhen…
Everything that happened today, Yuan has deeply remembered.”
Inside the chamber, amidst the roaring wind and snow and having received the objects, Xie Zhen dissipated his Taoist Intent Domain and prepared to leave, but Yuan Jimo suddenly spoke, stopping her.
“…”
Xie Zhen stood indifferently in the wind and snow, looking back at him.
“There’s more.”
Yuan Jimo smiled, the gloom on his face completely cleared, and spoke in a gentle tone: “Tell him to be extremely cautious on his mission to Li Kingdom.”
…
…
“Is this a reminder or a threat?”
In the long corridor of the Royal Garden, as the wind and snow gathered, Xie Zhen handed the objects from the two Golden Scrolls to Xie Xuanyi, while explaining what had just happened.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xuanyi showed no fear, only playfully weighing the Storage Treasure Bag in his hand, with a meaningful smile.
In all of Great Chu Imperial City, most people would have nightmares just hearing the name of the Chief of the Imperial City Department.
But clearly, Xie Zhen was different…
Xie Zhen curiously asked: “You don’t seem to care about Yuan Jimo’s Killing Intent, are you deliberately trying to provoke him?”
Today’s two Golden Scrolls.
They brought great humiliation to Yuan Jimo.
Given his character, he would definitely seek revenge.
And this was precisely what Xie Xuanyi wanted to see.
“It seems the Emperor dislikes Yuan Jimo a lot.”
Xie Xuanyi looked up, smiling, and asked: “Things the Emperor dislikes, Miss Xie should dislike as well, right?”
Xie Zhen did not respond.
“If I’m not mistaken, Miss Xie might soon reach Yin God Perfection…”
Xie Xuanyi continued smiling: “The Pure Yang Sect Leader of the Sword Palace once said, when facing a bottleneck during the Asking Heart of the Yin God, why not let go, slay the Heart Demon, and use killing to prove the Dao.
If the timing is right, would Miss Xie consider making a move to remove the disaster that is Yuan Jimo for the Emperor?”
“Xie Zhen, oh Xie Zhen—”
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhen laughed out loud: “You really dare to think big, even roping me into your plans.”
Xie Xuanyi knew.
This mission would definitely not be overlooked by Yuan Jimo.
He wants to kill me.
And I want to kill him.
If it’s possible to persuade enough powerful allies to strike, and then lure out Yuan Jimo at the borders of Great Chu, there might really be a chance to kill him with one strike.
“I indeed dislike Yuan Jimo.”
Xie Zhen shook her head, speaking emotionlessly: “But unless he poses a direct threat to the Emperor’s life, I will not make a move.”
Xie Zhen’s only duty was to protect Chu Yin’s safety.
Thus, even if she had extremely important duties that required her to leave the Capital City, she would not go to remote and distant places.
“I understand.”
Receiving this response, Xie Xuanyi was not surprised; he politely bowed, and then took his leave.
…
…
Half an hour later, at Chen Mansion.
Streaming light revealed Sword Intent, clouds descended with strands of Sword Qi, landing in the courtyard of Chen Mansion.
Two Storage Treasure Bags hovered in the air of the courtyard.
Qi Lie and Huang Su sat on opposite sides of the courtyard, the sunlight and Sword Qi splitting the courtyard into light and dark; Huang Su sat in darkness, Qi Lie under the bright light.
“Are you saying these are all the Emperor’s rewards?”
Qi Lie raised an eyebrow, intrigued as he scrutinized the Storage Treasure Bags before him.
These two Storage Treasure Bags contained treasures, elixirs,
enough to sustain Golden Turtle Peak and True Hidden Peak’s operations for a full year, and even with surplus.
“Great Pudu Temple defeated Miao Zhen, all of these are my rightful gains.”
Xie Xuanyi stood at the border of light and shadow, hands clasped behind his back, smiling as he said: “Master Qi…
After all, the Sword Palace has been sealed for ten years, the elixirs of the Law Enforcement Hall of Golden Turtle Peak must have been depleted, and True Hidden Peak also needs new treasures.”
Qi Lie fell silent.
He reassessed the youth before him.
Xie Zhen might not have high cultivation, but his capabilities were immense.
He had just extorted Prince Jiangning.
Then he secured the imperial rewards.
These two “deals” had largely solved the resource issues of the Da Sui Sword Palace after its decade-long seclusion.
By comparison.
His own role as a Yin God Realm master seemed somewhat redundant.
“Master Qi, please accept them.”
Huang Su also spoke up
