Chapter 537: Deal

king on the door.After a moment, the side door creaked open, and a young servant in green robes looked at Li Chen with confusion and asked, "Who are you What brings you to the General's Mansion""You g...Chapter 537: Deal Closed

The saint's aggressive attitude precisely exposed the White Lotus Cult's anxiety and bravado.

Li Chen's heart remained calm.

Since the Holy Maiden is still here negotiating terms with herself, it seems that the White Lotus Sect is leaning towards the second option.

I'm just stating the terms, laying out what he's done. I wouldn't let him off the hook after all the times Bai Lian Jiao tried to assassinate me.

"We can coexist."

Li Chen was unexpectedly pleased.

He even proactively pointed out the advantages of the White Lotus Sect.

“The White Lotus Sect initially used the slogan of restoring the previous dynasty and rebelled for over three hundred years, but they were never completely eradicated. You hide among the people and even overseas, causing chaos during times of turmoil. So many ancestors and forefathers couldn't get rid of you. This palace wants to completely destroy you, which will also be extremely difficult.”

The saintess looked at Li Chen silently and said, "Your Highness knows these things, then that's best."

But.

Li Chen shifted the conversation, saying calmly: "This palace has the ability to cripple the White Lotus Sect for at least ten years, leaving them unable to recover. Ten years later, with this palace's abilities, there will be no fertile ground for the White Lotus Sect to wreak havoc across the land again. From your experiences these past few days, you should know that what this palace says is true."

“This palace won't play haggle with you. If you want this palace to delay its action against the White Lotus Sect, there's a condition: you.”

Li Chen raised his hand and pointed at the Saintess.

"Remain by my side for ten years."

"For the next decade, you shall not lay a hand on me, and you shall obey me."

Of course, words without proof are worthless. You have to take the poison I give you. Every so often, I will give you an antidote to ensure it doesn't take effect. After ten years, you can come and go freely.

Before he could even finish his sentence, Li Chen felt a surge of murderous intent bearing down on him from the direction of the Saintess.

The murderous intent materialized, an unexpected gust of cold wind swept over Li Chen, making him feel a chill run down his spine, as if a blade were resting against his body.

It was still Sanzhao who blocked most of the killing intent, otherwise, with just this attack, it would have been enough to injure Li Chen, an ordinary person who couldn't even lift a chicken.

If an ordinary person were under such intense pressure, they would have long since collapsed.

But Li Chen was not willing to give up.

He stated, “Besides this, this palace will not accept any other conditions. This palace does not look down upon the White Lotus Sect’s most valuable possessions. If you agree to this, well and good; if not, then come.”

Li Chen sneered, "For over three hundred years, your White Lotus Sect has been causing trouble. Has the Qin Dynasty ever suffered even a shred of damage because of you"

The killing intent was even stronger.

The saintess seemed poised to strike and kill at any moment.

The Three Jewels at the front, their robes fluttering in the wind.

He stared intently at the saintess, or rather, at the darkness behind her, as if a terrifying behemoth lurked there, one that even he feared greatly.

Just as the situation was about to explode, the killing intent on the saintess suddenly vanished.

I promise you.

Four words, accompanied by the gentle breeze and bright moon, made the previous terrifying Asura field seem like a phantom bubble, shattered.

Even Li Chen didn't expect the Saintess to agree so readily.

to the point where he suspected that the saintess might have some other ulterior motive.

But the words of the saintess came next.

"During this time, if you ever take any harmful actions against the White Lotus Sect again, I will kill you without hesitation, no matter the cost."

This sentence is more like something said to the three treasures. Prince."Zhang Biwu frowned and said, “So what”"Warfare isn't just about generals, you know. Logistics, supplies, strategy—all of these require the support of imperial officials. Without the backing o...
