CH 407

As soon as Li Huowang saw the shadow play, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and instantly heard a whistling sound coming from behind him.

When Li Huowang turned around, Li Sui's tentacles grabbed various instruments of torture and blocked a huge and heavy Mo knife.

The floor couldn't bear such a heavy force, and the wooden board under Li Huowang's feet instantly broke, and he fell into it under the pressure of the huge force from the Mo knife.

When Li Huowang stood up on the lower floor of the wooden building, he saw two Zuo Wangdao sitting on flesh mahjong tiles, one on the left and one on the right, looking at him. One was the Eight of Bamboo, and the other was the Nine of Bamboo.

Although they were burning like Li Huowang at the moment, with their flesh and skin rapidly blistering and scorching, there was no pain on their faces.

Perhaps because of Zhuge Yuan's old almanac, they didn't say a word to Li Huowang.

These two Zuo Wangdao were tall, carrying the huge Mo knife that was more than one zhang long on their shoulders, standing there like door gods.

"Where did you cheat this weapon from again! The military, right? Which military!" As Li Huowang shouted, the two Zuo Wangdao stepped forward with one foot and rushed towards Li Huowang aggressively.

"Clang clang clang!" Li Huowang was instantly knocked out, but when he saw the huge gash on the opponent's Mo knife, a smile appeared on Li Huowang's face wrapped in flames. The opponent's weapon was far less sharp than his own Zisui Sword.

"Li Sui, catch the sword!" Li Huowang handed the copper coin sword in his hand to Li Sui's tentacles.

Then Li Huowang held the Zisui Sword with one hand and rushed towards one of the Zuo Wangdao.

Just before the two of them fought, Li Huowang instantly raised his hand and dropped the knife, cutting off three of his own fingers.

While the opponent was distracted by his fingers, Li Huowang swung his sword.

Seeing that his companion was in danger, the other Zuo Wangdao attempted to rescue him, but Li Sui's tentacles with the copper coin sword and various instruments of torture prevented him from getting close for the time being.

Even if some were cut off, more black tentacles would still emerge from Li Huowang's perforated body.

"Clang clang clang!!" Sparks splattered in the flames, and in the end, Li Huowang directly cut off the opponent's huge Mo knife. Li Huowang immediately twisted his wrist holding the sword and stabbed him in the throat.

Li Huowang slowly turned around and looked at the other Zuo Wangdao threateningly, "Put down the knife, and I'll spare your life!"

Upon hearing this, the Zuo Wangdao held the huge Mo knife and stood still for a while, then fell straight back.

When Li Huowang hurriedly walked over, he found that the Zuo Wangdao had been burned to death. These two guys were not immune to the damage of flames, they just fought to the death before being burned to death.

Li Huowang, who originally intended to ask for more details, became angry and kicked him fiercely.

Originally, Li Huowang thought that the Zuo Wangdao who pretended to be the Emperor of Da Qi had the highest status, but since they died so easily, it seemed that these two were just pawns in the Zuo Wangdao.

With a "clang" sound, the burnt dark red copper coin sword fell to the ground, and Li Sui's burning tentacles anxiously retracted into Li Huowang's body.

"Dad... sob... it hurts... it hurts so much..."

"I know, you've worked hard. Next time when I'm on fire, try not to come out."

Picking up the copper coin sword, Li Huowang quickly rushed back. He had to solve these Zuo Wangdao before the fire was extinguished.

However, when he returned to the Liang Mansion, he was surprised to find that both the eunuchs and the Jinyiwei guards had disappeared without a trace.

If it weren't for the huge bonfire burning behind him, Li Huowang even wondered if he was hallucinating.

When Li Huowang came to Zhuge Yuan, he saw him rolling up a landscape painting.

"Brother Li, how did you know that these people are Zuo Wangdao? I almost got deceived by them even though they were so far away." Zhuge Yuan was very surprised.

"I don't know, there are only two possibilities in that situation, either Zuo Wangdao or the walking corpse Emperor of Da Qi that you mentioned. Anyway, no matter which one, it's not wrong for me to say that they are Zuo Wangdao. The Emperor of Da Qi has already discovered that you are planning a rebellion. Don't tell me he will have a good ending?"

"Ah~ I see, Brother Li is so wise, I really admire you." Zhuge Yuan bowed to Li Huowang with the rolled-up painting in his hand.

After looking around again, Li Huowang found that there was indeed no one else, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Zhuge brother, where are those Zuo Wangdao?"

"They? They have already left."

"Left? After finally encountering Zuo Wangdao, how could you let them go so easily? At least leave one alive!"

Hearing this, the anger in Li Huowang's heart and the fire on his body suddenly rose.

"Brother Li, calm down. Why don't you first collect your divine power? It looks quite painful." Zhuge Yuan took a step back as his face turned red from the heat.

Angry to the point of being unable to speak, Li Huowang looked around and jumped into the nearby water pool.

When Li Huowang, who was blackened all over, emerged from the water pool and stuck his head out, he saw Zhuge Yuan's hand reaching out in front of him.

Like a wet chicken, Li Huowang sighed deeply and reached out his hand.

Zhuge Yuan exerted force and pulled him up.

"Tell me, where did those Zuo Wangdao go?"

Li Huowang asked impatiently, looking towards the door. There was no one outside either, and there was no trace of anyone long ago.

"They have already forgotten everything about Daliang and returned to their identity in Da Qi through my carefully crafted painting."

"Huh?" Li Huowang looked at Zhuge Yuan in astonishment. "What did you say? Where are they now?!"

"Yes, as I said, the curfew is now in effect in Youdu. They insisted on leaving, and I guess they have already reached the West Gate."

Li Huowang looked around, stepped on a wall, and quickly shifted his body to the top of the wall.He dashed towards the rooftop, stepping on the wall, and after a few swift movements, Li Huowang found himself standing on the highest roof.

Despite the darkness of the night, his excellent vision allowed him to clearly see the massive city gate in the distance, as well as the wide streets. It was eerily quiet, devoid of any human presence.

It was clear that the western gate of Daliang was deserted, just as Zhuge Yuan had said. Those people had indeed gone to the so-called Daqi!

"Brother Li, what are you looking at?" Zhuge Yuan's voice suddenly appeared beside Li Huowang.

Li Huowang quickly stepped back, looking at Zhuge Yuan in utter shock, "Could it be that this Daqi is not just in your vicinity, but there really is a Daqi?! If I forget everything about Daliang and believe in your plan, I can go to your so-called Daqi?!"

Zhuge Yuan, who was fanning himself, looked somewhat displeased.

"What are you talking about, Brother Li? What do you mean by nonsense? I've always said that Daqi exists. Could it be that you didn't listen to anything I said?"

"But...." Li Huowang's mind was in chaos. If Daqi really existed, where was it located? A parallel world? Was the Heart Knot the key to another parallel world?

But if it was a parallel world, why were the male prostitutes of Daqi twisted versions of the courtesans of Daliang, instead of being independent entities?

He truly couldn't understand the peculiarities of the Heart Knot.

Just as Li Huowang was getting more and more confused, Zhuge Yuan couldn't help but speak, "Is it that hard to understand? I've said it, Daqi is real, Daliang is the fake one. It's just that you can't tell the difference."

"No, no, no." Li Huowang quickly shook his head and took another step back, patiently saying, "Brother Zhuge, no need to say more. Even if Daqi is real, next time you better keep the Taoist sects that deceive beings for a while. After I finish my interrogation, you can send them to Daqi."

"Interrogate about what?" A playful smile appeared on Zhuge Yuan's face.

"Of course, to find out where Beifeng is currently and how strong he is!"

Feeling his voice getting louder, Li Huowang took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation in his heart.

"Brother Zhuge, don't blame me for being impatient, but I still have no clue, and my time is running out."

Zhuge Yuan nodded understandingly, then casually raised the canvas in his hand and gave it a sharp shake.

With a "swish", the white canvas unfolded, and a man who was barely alive rolled out from inside.

"Brother Li, this man is Beifeng."
