Chapter 743 - Rivalry

In the study room, Zhao Li Xin sat behind the black table sipping his wine, and the four palace kings together with the Mong brother gathered in the room to deliver their reports. 

"The situation in the Hwang Wu continent is as we expected, the Heaven's Gate sect has dominated the entire continent and Wei Zu Tian has declared himself the true Sun Emperor, it means he thinks of himself as the king above all humans." Bei Li Yan sneered with disdain. 

"Delusional as usual" Zhao Li Xin looked bored. 

"Unfortunately not without reason, in the past few years he has become so powerful that no one knows what his current cultivation level is, being the strongest man in the Hwang Wu continent is not an easy thing for anyone." Jin Hao reminded everyone not to underestimate Wei Zu Tian. 

What about the Gates of Heaven, how strong are they? Jiang Jin Wei, who had never faced Heaven's Gate sect, personally asked curiously. 

Bei Li Yan waved his index finger in warning "But they are not just names, all of them are very strong, I wouldn't be surprised if they had reached the level of sage" 

"What an interesting name…" Wu San Bo raised his eyebrows.

Bei Li Yan waggle his index finger as a warning "But they're not just name's, every single of them is very powerful, I won't surprised if they had reach sage level"

"Finally a worthy opponent, at last." Jiang Jin Wei's eyes lit up. 

"Then you will like this, not only do they have strong men as their warriors, they also have an army of powerful beasts at their disposal so to fight them will take everything we have." Bei Li Yan's face became deadly serious.

Jin Hao also realized the dire situation. "We can't avoid this war, especially when that person finds out the existance of the Young Madame." Worry suddenly flashed through his eyes.

Bei Li Yan showed the same expression too, he understood what Jin Hao was worried about, Bei Li Yan knew how crazy Wei Zu Tian was. During this time Wei Zu Tian believed that no one but him could cure Zhao Li Xin, he was sure that one day Zhao Li Xin would come to him after he could not endure being tortured by the poison. Bei Li Yan pressed his lips into a thin line "I am afraid to imagine what he would do if he did. know young mistress has cured master and master even married her " 

"Should we warn young mistress about this?" Wu San Bo hesitated.

Jiang Jin Wei frowned, he shook his head and said: "Will it stress Young Madame?"

Bei Li Yan rolled his eyes, "Please, no one can handle stress better than young madam, apart from that we don't want young madam to fall into a dangerous situation without realizing it, it only endangers her safety." Bei Li Yan showed his strong disapproval, if Lory just a normal girl who knows nothing about wickedness beyond her boudoir, then he would agree to hide this matter from her. 

But Lory is no ordinary girl, she has proven herself as a strong, resilient, and wise woman, if she can find a way to have a normal life with a demon on her tail, she will have no trouble facing Wei Zu Tian's threat. 

"I will discuss this matter with Lory." Zhao Li Xin ended the discussion. "in a meantime, increase your cultivation as much as you can, San Bo increased the cultivation room so that more people in our sect can increase their abilities faster, Jin Wei postponed army training for a while, we need to focus on improving our cultivation first, we have less than five months. to increase our strength, let's not wasted it " 

"Yes, Milord!" Wu San Bo and Jiang Jin Wei cupped their fists at the same time. 

"What about Lao Min Na, is there no news about him?" Zhao Li Xin next shifted his gaze to Bei Li Yan. 

"Apologize, my Lord, Lao Min Na's traces have suddenly turned cold and we can't find her anywhere." Bei Li Yan lowered his head in regret.

Zhao Li Xin thought it must be Lazarus who hid Lao Min Na. "It's okay, sooner or later he will appear, we better focus on Wei Zu Tian first. I need to know the people around him in the past ten years and how their relationship is, I want to know who has a close relationship with Wu Ze Tian and who else holds a grudge against him " 

"Yes, Milord!" Bei Li Yan cupped his fist firmly and bowed his head courteously.

Everyone had received orders from Zhao Li Xin, Jin Hao tilted his head looking disappointed, "My lord, have you forgotten me?"

Zhao Li Xin tapped his fingers in a monotonous sound, he took a deep breath and then said to Jin Hao: "Spread the rumor that you are the one who found the cold poison antidote, we can't let anyone know about Lory's ability." 

"What if someone asks me for the cold poison antidote?" Jin Hao furrowed his brows. 

"Are you a generous person who always gives when people ask?" Zhao Li Xin gave him a cynical look.

Jin Hao grinned "No…"

"It's settled then!" Zhao Li Xin narrowed his gaze. 

"Yes, my lord." Jin Hao lowered his head with a slight grin on his face, he wondered how he used this rumor to irritate Wei Zu Tian and the Heaven's Gate sect. 

"And summon Shin Jiu, I have a mission for him!" he suddenly stopped them before they left.

The four palace kings and the Mong brothers who opened the door for them exchanged curious glances, firstly, they didn't know who Zhao Li Xin gave orders to, and secondly what orders did Zhao Li Xin give to the boy who was only eleven years old, even though once no one dared to ask further, then Mong Yi volunteered, he stepped forward and cupped his fists, "as you wish my lord!"

Zhao Li Xin dismissed waved without looking at them, then the four palace kings and brother Mong quietly left the room, Zhao Li Xin leaned back and rested his head while closing his eyes.

Zhao Li Xin knew the situation was dire, apart from Lazarus Wei Zu Tian was the only person in the world that he didn't dare to underestimate, just like him Wei Zu Tian was born a genius, and he made sure everyone knew it. Wei Zu Tian has a mental illness called 'God complex' syndrome. He is very narcissistic, she feels entitled to everything and has a deep d.e.s.i.r.e to be admired and she lacks empathy even more than Zhao Li Xin.

Wei Zu Tian believes that he is God's beloved son, he has an exquisite appearance that can move the hearts of men and women, he is a talented cultivator, and he is the only son of the powerful Wei Clan, but not by accident. Her mother Duan Shu Shu secretly killed all the baby boys born from other women, in the end, she killed her own husband, Wei Zu Tian's father, to make sure he had no chance of having another child besides hers.

However, there was no concrete evidence and this was based solely on Zhao Li Xin's speculations. Zhao Li Xin also believed that Wei Zu Tian knew about this matter, and he would not be surprised that Wei Zu Tian might be involved in his father's death, it seems that he inherited his mother's cruelty more than anything else.

For years Wei Zu Tian thought he was the only one, no one could match his talent and appearance until one day he met Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin let out a long sigh, more than his enemy he hates  Wei Zu Tian the most. The way he looked at him is like a madman staring at the precious stone, Wei Zu Tian has an inexplicable obsession with Zhao Li Xin, and he made sure Zhao Li Xin knew his feelings which only disgusted Zhao Li Xin to the core.

There were times when he promised Zhao Li Xin to make him the ruler of the entire Hwang Wu continent, and he promised to give Zhao Li Xin complete authority over everyone only one level below him, not only that Wei Zu Tian also promised to give Zhao Li Xin all the resources he wants to develop his cultivation, Wei Zu Tian also said that he will also heal Zhao Li Xin's cold poison, and as a return, Zhao Li Xin had to surrender itself to him. Of course, a man with Zhao Li Xin's temperament would never allow himself to be that low.

Zhao Li Xin's refusal led to a long battle between Zhao Li Xin and Wei Zu Tian, ​​however, because of the cold poison, adding a lack of experience and cultivation Zhao Li Xin had no chance against Wei Zu Tian.

Zhao Li Xin vividly remembers that day, they fought near the cliff for three days and three nights Zhao Li Xin was badly injured while Wei Zu Tian stood there with a slight wound, he walked towards Zhao Li Xin then he grabbed Zhao Li Xin's neck and lifted his weak body into the air. 

"Surrender yourself to me ..." Wi Zu Tian hissed coldly.

Zhao Li Xin cough with blood "Not….interested" he said defiantly.

Wei Zu Tian tightly clenched Zhao Li Xin's neck, suddenly Zhao Li Xin took out a secret weapon from his spatial ring then he crushed the weapon that was shaped like a mere black stone with his palm, suddenly a powerful explosion hit Wei Zu Tian. and Zhao Li Xin. and throw them in the opposite direction.

There were many things Wei Zu Tian didn't know about Zhao Li Xin, firstly he didn't know Zhao Li Xin had a spatial ring, secondly, he didn't know that Zhao Li Xin was an expert in weaponry, and third, he underestimated the tough Zhao Li Xin, he didn't expect Zhao Li Xin would be crazy enough to blow himself up with him, the fierce explosion sent Wei Zu Tian to the ground, blood dripping from his head, at the same time Zhao Li Xin was thrown down the abyss.

The strange weapon not only gave off a powerful explosion but also contained nerve poisoning, Wei Zu Tian felt his body suddenly lose its strength, he then realized he was infected with a strong poison, he gritted his teeth as anger rose inside him like molten lava. 

"ZHAO LI XIINN!" he roared in anger.

Zhao Li Xin fell into the raging sea, his body sinking like a heavy rock. Zhao Li Xin no longer had the strength to fight the current of water that dragged his sluggish body to the bottom of the sea, suddenly Mong Ki appeared, he grabbed Zhao Li. Xin's hand and pulled him to the surface, a small boat was waiting for them, Mong Yi and Bei Li Yan quickly pulled Zhao Li Xin out of the sea and Jin Hao immediately forced Zhao Li Xin to swallow a recovery pill.

In a semi-conscious state Zhao Li Xin could hear a thunderous roared in a distance "You will come for me Li Xin, you will die without me!" he cursed furiously.
