court"The next two sentences hung in the air, and a deathly silence fell over the scene. No one dared to confront Dantai Jingzi.Still Zhang Biwu, he knew anyone could be silent, but he couldn't.Gritt...Chapter 1101 Can You Speak Properly

Since his epiphany and ascension to the Immortal Realm, Emperor Jian hadn't been this astonished in a long time.

He could feel the immense power of the old monk before him, completely overwhelming his own.

The feeling of being on the weaker side made him very uncomfortable.

Back then, he didn't want to continue experiencing that painful feeling, so he practiced frantically as if possessed. Combined with his exceptional talent and incredible fortune, he achieved the Earth Immortal realm at the youngest age in the history of the Qin Empire.

Such a feeling of invincibility, which reigned supreme today, has been shattered.

Jiěwàng still hadn't answered.

He stood beside Li Chen, silent as a stone.

This disregard made the Emperor Jian, whose heart was already as firm as a rock, instantly boil with anger.

The emperor was startled, but Li Chen was delighted.

He thought that the monk, Jiewang, really had the potential to be a show-off.

Without saying a word, he could make a celestial being of the Earth Immortal realm furious and vulnerable.

It's a shame that such an effective bodyguard is a one-time use.

"Now can you put your celestial being facade aside and speak properly"

Li Chen committed murder with a cold heart and said with a smirk, "Earthly Immortal, Earthly Immortal, that's a title. But if you really take yourself as a god, then there will be a day when you fall from grace, and it will be even harder to accept."

Emperor Jian took a deep breath, regaining his composure. He said to Li Chen, "Your Highness, remain discreet."

"I thought His Highness only had one eunuch, Sanbao, but I didn't expect that after a half-step Earth Immortal died, His Highness summoned another true Earth Immortal. How impressive."

Li Chen said lightly, "It seems you're willing to talk nicely now."

The Emperor's expression remained impassive, offering no reply. But this was already the norm.

The mutual testing, as it stands, is officially over.

Whether the opening silence or Jian Di's arrogance, it's all just a test of each other's psychological bottom line.

As the leader of the White Lotus sect, Emperor Jian controls hundreds of thousands of followers. He's not just powerful because of his martial arts skills; he also needs to be intelligent.

Clearly, Emperor Jiandi excels in this area as well.

Since the probing is over, and both sides have seen each other's trump cards that warrant serious consideration, it's time for a proper negotiation.

The atmosphere returned to normal.

On one side of the bookshelf, Gong Huiyu perhaps saw a plot where the protagonist overcame adversity and slapped the villain in the face, a knowing smile curved the corner of her mouth.

Stunningly beautiful.

Unfortunately, neither Li Chen nor Jian Di paid attention to it.

As for Jiewang Monk...he wouldn't even look at Gong Huiyu.

"Does the national hero want to be one"

I thought that a formal conversation would make the atmosphere more harmonious, but I didn't expect Li Chen to throw out a bone right from the start.

This tone made Emperor Jian very uncomfortable.

That felt like facing a whimpering dog. Li Chen swayed the bone in his hand and asked, "Do you want to eat it Give me a bark."

Emperor Jian stared blankly at Li Chen.

"What price must I pay"

Emperor Jian felt very humiliated.

He felt like he was fulfilling Li Chen's whim, and in front of the bone, he barked with all his might.

But, that name, he truly wanted it.

Otherwise, he would not truly come to the capital city and stand before Li Chen in the East Palace.

If he becomes the National Teacher, then wouldn't the White Lotus sect become the National Guardian Sect

There is too much room for maneuver here.

Even if all the former White Lotus sect leaders rose from their graves, they would have to promise by choking him.

Then, Emperor Jian heard Li Chen's answer: "No price needs to be paid." were clearly aimed at dismantling the cabinet's centralized power. The cabinet, which had previously held absolute authority, was dissolved, and its powers were redistributed among the three ministri...
