Chapter 536: A Choice of Two

Chapter 694 I haven't been reckless enoughChapter 536: Choose One

Although this wasn't the first time Li Chen had interacted with the Saintess, he still felt a shiver down his spine every time he saw her.

Upon seeing the Saint again, Li Chen's first reaction was to call for a bodyguard detail.

But the words that came to his lips, he forcefully changed.

"Aren't you afraid of dying"

The saintess looked at Li Chen, her gaze as still as an ancient well.

"You have been waging a nationwide campaign against the White Lotus Sect, inciting various martial arts schools. First, you staged a play about the Dragon Slayer Sword commanding the martial world, then you tempted them with martial arts from the royal arsenal, resulting in heavy losses for my White Lotus Sect."

Today, you even had your minions, disguised as members of the White Lotus Sect, assassinate King Zhao.

"If my death can send you, demon, to hell with me, I would not hesitate."

"It seems you know quite a bit."

Li Chen didn't deny it, but he also didn't admit it.

He crossed his arms and looked at the Saintess, saying, "If that's the case, why don't you just attack directly"

The saintess looked at the empty space behind Li Chen, her eyes cold and clear.

Behind Li Chen, the three treasures walked out of the darkness, a sinister smile on their faces, and said: "Your Highness, order your servants to take action. Today, we will definitely keep this demon girl."

Sanzhao's words were bold and confident.

But Li Chen could feel Sanbao's unprecedented nervousness.

If there is even the slightest tremor, the Three Treasures will immediately react.

This reaction wasn't an attack on the holy maiden, but a panicked attempt to escape.

This is definitely not Sanzhao's normal reaction.

Li Chen frowned slightly.

He wasn't a martial arts master. To put it plainly, in the eyes of Sānbǎo and the Holy Maiden, he was just an ordinary person who couldn't even lift a chicken, so he didn't have any aura sensing.

But Li Chen had extremely keen senses and a cunning, fox-like shrewdness.

He judged from Sibaobao's unusual behavior that there were three treasures behind him, but behind the Saintess, there was most likely someone who made even the three treasures feel troublesome.

This isn't fun anymore.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the saintess and said calmly: "Saintess graces us with your presence, you're not here just to say these two sentences, are you San Bao, you're a eunuch, you don't understand the ways of women, don't be too presumptuous towards the saintess."

Seeing that the prince seemed to understand his meaning, Sanbao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, replying: "Your Highness is right, I was wrong."

As he spoke, Sanzhao subtly shifted his body to partially shield Li Chen, just in case.

The Saintess watched everything, her gaze falling once again on Li Chen. Under the veil, her vermilion lips moved slightly, saying, "Your Highness, can the White Lotus Sect and Your Highness coexist"

This question is kind of interesting.

Li Chen looked at the Holy Maiden, a half-smile on his face: "You came to kill this palace first, and now you ask if this palace can coexist"

"It seems that the Bai Lian sect has been well taken care of recently."

The Three Treasures, seizing the opportunity, immediately chimed in, "Over this period, the Dongchang has killed or captured over ten thousand Bai Lian Jiao disciples. Meanwhile, various martial arts sects have swarmed out, killing many of the Bai Lian Jiao's masters. At least over a thousand mid-level core members have been slain by these major sects. Even the palace armory has sent out two or three precious secret manuals."

Li Chen, hearing this, laughed and said, “With such a lavish war record, even the White Lotus Sect's deep foundation wouldn't be able to withstand it for long.”

The holy maiden's voice remained calm as she said, "So now the church has two choices. One, to kill the prince, and destroy everything. Two, to coexist, and let each side live their own lives."

And that choice, has to be made tonight.
