After a short while, Jie Wang left the Eastern Palace.

Li Chen sat silently in the Xizheng Hall for a while, and Gong Huiyu quietly appeared beside the bookshelf in the Xizheng Hall.

There, she seemed to have her own special place. Familiar with every inch of it, she took out a book from her bag. As soon as Gong Huiyu started reading, she heard Li Chen's voice.

"Is Jiewang not living for much longer"

"Hmm."

Seeing the familiar cold reaction from Gong Huiyu, Li Chen coughed and said, "Can't you say another word"

Gong Huiyu lifted her head, her clear eyes focused on Li Chen's face, then her lips parted slightly, "Okay."

Of course, there's an extra character now.

Li Chen had given up hope.

He asked again, “What would be the cost if he went all out once more in this condition”

"Death."

Gong Huiyu blurted out a word without hesitation. After a pause, she seemed to remember Li Chen's request just now and added, "Die immediately."

"The vital energy within him had been depleted to the extreme. Now, he could walk and talk, appearing just like a normal person. In reality, he was completely sustained by his powerful inner energy. However, inner energy was not the same as vital energy. Once this inner energy was exhausted, he would be unable to replenish it."

"At his level, if he went all out with no regard for the consequences, even those at the Earth Immortal realm would fall to him. But the price would be that he'd be completely drained of every ounce of energy, and even a true immortal wouldn't be able to save him."

Closing the book, Gong Huiyu continued, “Even among Earth Immortals, there are levels of strength. Jie Wang's power was at the top of this level. To be frank, his death is a major loss for Chinese martial arts. After him, the strongest Earth Immortal in Japan remains.”

Li Chen frowned and said, "Isn't that to say that if Jie Wang Yuanji is gone, once the land immortal from the East Country comes over, no one will be able to stop him"

"Not that bad."

She shook her head and said in a cold voice, "The land of China is vast and rich in resources. There are always many people who prefer to live anonymously. Moreover, when they reach this realm, they have long since seen through the fame and fortune of the mortal world. It is very possible that some ancient land immortals who disappeared long ago still exist."

Furthermore, many who have approached this realm, like the eunuch named Sānbǎo near you, often choose to retreat to secluded places for seclusion. Some fail, some succeed, and if they don't reveal themselves, no one knows the outcome.

Nodding in understanding, Li Chen said: "This palace understands."

"Did he promise to help you out" Gong Huiyu rarely took the initiative to ask a question.

"Yes," Li Chen admitted readily.

Gong Huiyu said faintly, “This is like having a trump card in your hand now that allows you to kill anyone who you want. What are you going to do with it”

With a light chuckle, Li Chen said, "Let's talk about it later. Let him live out the rest of his time with a pure and sincere heart; that would be good enough."

Gong Huiyu looked at Li Chen, her eyes full of disbelief.

Knowing Li Chen's personality—always looking for ways to make a profit, even if it means finding pennies on the street—she believed he would definitely exploit this card to its fullest.

Just how exactly Li Chen would do it, she couldn't figure out.

The atmosphere between the two fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, Gong Huiyu suddenly asked: “Is someone plotting against you”s intel was accurate. This Li Song Ru within the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun should be considered a strategist. His position in King Ning's heart must be far higher than that of Ye Wang, the warrior.Li...
