Putting aside the affairs of the Ye Sect for the time being, Lu Li gave the girls a few more instructions and then told them to go and have a good rest.
Too many things happened today, and they were all caught off guard and a little tired at the same time.
Especially Ge Xinyue, as the chief internal affairs manager of Prince Yan's Mansion and the former titled assassin of the Ministry of Land, she has to bear no less responsibilities than Lu Li.
If Lu Li hadn't returned and dealt with those crazy warriors, with Ge Xinyue's temper and character, it wouldn't have been uncommon for him to die from exhaustion in a direct fight.
After all the girls went down to rest, Lu Li's figure flashed and he arrived at Mu Hongxiu's courtyard.
Under the peach blossom tree, Mu Hongxiu's eyes moved slightly, she glanced at Lu Li, and then said, "What, you want to see me for something?"
"Isn't it a bit boring to ask such questions now that we've reached this point?"
Lu Li sneered and touched the tip of his nose to hide his embarrassment, "Don't you know why I came back?"
"You are now a powerful man in the divine realm, comparable to a god on earth, with supreme power and the ability to suppress all nations with your own power. Is my little Holy Kingdom, King Yan, worthy of your return to the human world in person?"
Mu Hongxiu also laughed, but it was a sneer, "Now as long as you hook your fingers, the princess of the Jitian Demon Kingdom will not refuse any of your requests."
"Did I hear you wrong? Your Majesty, King Yan, are you jealous?"
Lu Li's eyes lit up and he took a step forward.
With this step, he crossed the distance and came directly in front of Mu Hongxiu, looking into those angry eyes that pretended to be calm.
"Jealous? Are you kidding?" Mu Hongxiu endured the weird feeling and continued to sneer: "You and I are just using each other. And you are not the weak young man you were before. Why, are you now You broke free from the prison and plan to take revenge on me?"
When Mu Hongxiu said these words, she actually felt quite uncomfortable.
In front of everyone, she had been able to act calm and calm before, as if she didn't care about Lu Li's changes at all. But now that the two of them were getting along in private, Mu Hongxiu felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that Lu Li was already a powerful person at the heaven-level. What's more important is that the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger. It's almost a world of difference. She can no longer control her posture or hide her thoughts in front of Lu Li like before.
"Your Highness, Prince Yan, what are you talking about?"
Lu Li stared at Mu Hongxiu for a long time, and finally sighed: "You are a gift to me. I came back today just to repay my kindness to you. I have no other thoughts."
"Yeah?"
As soon as these words came out, Mu Hongxiu's heart tightened even more, but her face remained calm as she stared at Lu Li and said, "In this case, you have settled the chaos in Yanzhou, and you no longer owe me anything. Why don't you still keep me here?" What are you doing here?”
After saying this, Mu Hongxiu immediately regretted it.
She didn't know why she was going against Lu Li, let alone what happened to her today. What she was thinking and what she was saying were completely different.
But she couldn't control this emotion, nor could she control the duplicitous impulse.
"I stay here, of course, for the sake of the overall situation."
Lu Li chuckled lightly and didn't mind Mu Hongxiu's 'rebellion'. To be honest, what she said was not unexpected.
Putting aside everything else, Mu Hongxiu was deeply stimulated by the fact that he had become a heaven-level powerhouse inexplicably. As for some other ideas, Lu Li also considered them, but since the world was currently in chaos, it was not suitable to put some of the issues between him and Mu Hongxiu in the open.
However, what Lu Li said was not a lie.
His return to Yanzhou this time was indeed for the sake of the overall situation.
First, the terrain of Yanzhou is special. If we combine Qingzhou and Bazhou, we can instantly support the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom, or flexibly expand outward to support other countries.
Lu Li was already aware of this when Mu Jing forced Qingzhou Bazhou to Mu Hongxiu.
But the difference between now and then was that Lu Li was thinking more long-term than Mu Jing. As the leader of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, Mu Jing only focused on the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, but Lu Li looked at the situation in the entire ancient world, and even in the entire Zhenwu Territory.
Although Huanggu must be unified, the Holy Kingdom of Tiantian is still his 'base'. Whether it is Shenwei Division or Prince Yan's Mansion, this is the power that he can call upon instantly. Even if emotional factors are not considered, Yanzhou's importance is still at the forefront.
The second point is that the Tiantian Holy Kingdom's earth veins are special, and the ability to create products like the abyss is naturally due to its uniqueness.
At the beginning, Lu Li still knew little about these things. Although he had the characteristics of a formation master, his understanding of formations was unrivaled in the world, and no one was his opponent. But strictly speaking, this special product of the abyss does not only involve the knowledge of formations. Some of the details related to energy are difficult to understand, let alone understand, even if you see it with your own eyes, before your own strength reaches that level.
But now Lu Li's life level has been successfully broken through, and it is still different from the martial arts boundaries of the True Martial Realm. After forcibly breaking through through the way of energy, Lu Li can tell at a glance that there is something special about the earth's veins of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, and it may even be different from the will of the world. Some 'planning' matters.
If the Zhenwu Domain is compared to a sleeping human body, then the earth veins involved in the Tiantian Holy Kingdom are probably the blood vessels closest to the heart.
Its importance is almost irreplaceable. In other words, if those world-destroying lunatics from the Divine Religion could see through this, they would never let go of the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom.
As for whether they can understand this
Lu Li had no doubts about this.
Not to mention the old monster Huang who has lived for tens of thousands of years, the various methods that the Divine Religion has deployed in the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom are enough to show that the Shenhua Pope has long known the importance of the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom. He was making plans in advance, waiting to directly harvest the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, and even joined forces with the Jitian Demon Kingdom for this purpose.
Although the cult's plan had gone bankrupt, Lu Li still had reason to suspect that they would definitely make a comeback.
As for the third point.
That's about himself.
Now he is the only heavenly and human-level powerhouse in ancient times. Not to mention the divine sect, even other forces will definitely have a lot of vigilance towards him. Especially for the Six Holy Lands, it is still unknown whether they will allow the birth of a powerful god-seeing person from the Ancient Demon Kingdom.
Even if he had nothing to fear in a head-on confrontation, Lu Li still had to prevent these people from attacking the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom.
Especially to prevent them from attacking the people in Prince Yan's Mansion.
His interpersonal relationships in the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven are not secret at all. As for the Six Holy Lands and the existence of the White Jade Tower, it is only a piece of cake to get information about them.
It had to be said that with his strength reaching this level, Lu Li was not worried about the conspiracy against himself, but about the conspiracy against Mu Hongxiu, Mu Ningqiu and others.
Especially places like the Six Holy Lands.
The so-called holy land of righteousness does have its persistence and bottom line. However, once it comes to one's own fundamental interests, there is essentially no difference between the righteous path and the magic door.
Especially the Zhenzong Celestial Beings of the Six Holy Lands. They are all old ghosts who have survived the end of the era of all races. In that era of constant war, which Celestial being did not have millions of lives in his hands
Whether it is their own people or the Royal Court of the Four Seas, those lives that disappear in their hands must be heinous people
Hearing the implication of Lu Li's words, Mu Hongxiu was actually a little moved, but her words were cold: "Why, now that you have become a heavenly being, are you worried that us people will hold you back?"
"Don't worry, one day, even if you commit suicide, we will not make it difficult for you, the God on earth."
As she spoke, Mu Hongxiu waved her sleeves, and a set of tea cups appeared on the table. She snapped her fingers again, and water vapor gathered, condensed into water droplets, and fell into the teapot.
After she used her power to heat it up, a pot of hot tea was placed in front of Lu Li.
She looked at Lu Li, and Lu Li also looked at her.
After a long time, Mu Hongxiu remained as usual, lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Drink tea."
