Chapter 559 - Huangfu Tiangang

Five Li away from Shangjing, two figures could be seen running in the forest. They were none other than Li Huowang and Li Sui. There were many people chasing after them.

Just then, a man wearing black clothes burst out of a tree and threw a demon-slaying circle covered in sutra toward Li Huowang and Li Sui.

A dark light burst forth as the circle shrouded both Li Huowang and Li Sui. The next moment, their figures crumbled like rotten wood.

Soon the people chasing after them caught up and saw the man holding both Li Huowang and Li Sui's heads.

“Wait! Something is wrong!” A Daoist used two leaves and wiped his eyes with them.

He then tore off Li Huowang’s face to reveal the face of someone else with a talisman stuck to it.

“It’s an illusion! Chase after them!” The group dispersed immediately and continued their pursuit.

Halfway up a mountain, Li Huowang looked down at the people running around in the forest. To think that the techniques of the Sitting Oblivion Dao are actually so useful when it comes to buying time.

“Dad, how long should we get chased by them?” Li Sui was lying on the ground with her arms and legs sprawled out.

“That’s not up to us. It depends on when the Chief returns.” Li Huowang said nothing and tore off his collarbone before using it as an ingredient for his divination.

His target was none other than the Chief of the Surveillance Bureau. Li Huowang knew that it was impossible for him to be able to use divination to find the Chief, but rather the Chief would know that Li Huowang was using divination on him. Li Huowang intended to use it to remind the Chief.

Once he was done, he placed his collarbone back into his body and looked at Shangguan Yuting. “Can you tell me where the Chief is?”

Shangguan Yuting was calm even though she had her entire head covered in her eyes. “I don’t know. He didn’t tell me. He must have his own reasons for delaying it.”

Li Huowang couldn’t even get angry at the illusion.

He had no idea where Ji Lin had found so many capable people. They had seamless teamwork, and their divinations were scarily accurate as well.

Li Huowang shielded Li Sui behind his back. “I’m here to protect my Lord! Have you come here to interfere? I've simply chosen who I think is more suitable to take the throne!”

“You think you can fool me? Anping is dead! The evil being that you're rearing is just using her corpse!” Huangfu Tiangang immediately saw through the farce. “Our Lord has won, so he’s the emperor. Who do you think you are? You dare to try to stir up trouble in the kingdom? Those who try to fool our lord must die!”

Li Huowang immediately felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he couldn't move even an inch.

Staring at the Imperial Preceptor approaching him slowly with a sword in hand, Li Huowang hurriedly shouted, “Wait! Since you are so strong, can you not see the illusion made by the Chief of the Surveillance Bureau next to me? This matter is related to the Chief of the Surveillance Bureau!”

The air itself seemed to freeze, but Li Huowang knew that his plan was working, as Huangfu Tiangang’s sword didn't fall down on his head.

Li Huowang knew that even though the Surveillance Bureau and the Imperial Preceptor often worked together, they never really shared their plans with each other.

Huangfu Tiangang made an unfamiliar seal with his other hand and pointed it to the ground. He then looked at Shangguan Yuting and greeted her for the first time.

The Imperial Preceptor was shocked to see Shangguan Yuting’s head covered in eyes. “To think that they exist! Wait, is he thinking...”

Li Huowang then took this chance to explain Shai Zi’s plot.

However, the Imperial Preceptor revealed the same expression as the Chief of the Surveillance Bureau. He remained calm despite hearing Shai Zi’s scheme. Actually, he was more interested in the eyes covering Shangguan Yuting's head.

Li Huowang frowned, seemingly thinking about something when he heard footsteps all around him.

Ji Lin’s subordinates were here.

They surrounded Li Huowang but none of them moved because Huangfu Tiangang was here as well.

A fat man holding a gold ingot stepped forward and said, “Imperial Preceptor, that man...”
