Chapter 145: The State Preceptor Who Is About to Transform into a Dragon
Night, the palace.

In the huge Yangxin Palace Hall, there were only two people sitting and looking at each other, separated by about twenty meters.

The person above had an old face and a rotten aura, as if he did not have long to live.

The person below had a feminine face, and it was impossible to tell if he was a man or a woman.

Upon closer inspection, there was even a feeling that made one’s hair stand on end.

..

After looking at each other for a moment, the old man above spoke first.

“Imperial Preceptor, you used my people to refine pills, but up until now, I haven’t even seen what the pills look like!”

Hearing this, the person below revealed a strange smile and replied,

“Since the pills were refined from the people of Da Qian, how could I forget about Your Majesty? I’ve already prepared it for you.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and a fist-sized box flew towards the person above or the Emperor of Da Qian.

The box was open, and there were three translucent blood-colored pills neatly placed inside.

It emitted a faint fragrance, mixed with a hint of blood.

Wen Zhi had a nauseating feeling.

“Humph!”

Emperor Tianqi snorted coldly and ignored the three blood-colored pills. He forced himself to focus and continued asking,

“State Preceptor, in your opinion, how many more years does Great Qian have left?”

Hearing this, the Master of the Nation, the Immortal Pu Du, put on a sly smile and said calmly,”

“This is a heavenly secret, it’s hard to predict.”

“Perhaps a hundred years, perhaps…Today.”

“Who knows?”

Hearing this, Emperor Tianqi’s expression turned even uglier.

The two of them looked at each other and fell silent.

A moment later, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand tiredly and did not say anything.

The Imperial Advisor understood and did not bow. He stood up and left.

There was no restraint in the entire process.

..

After Imperial Preceptor left, a person suddenly appeared beside Emperor Tianqi.

This person was tall and muscular, his face was full of beard, and his eyes were shining.

If Su Mu was here, he would have recognized Zhuge Hongtu at a glance!

“Uncle Tu, what’s with the rumors in the Imperial City recently? Could it be that the Demon Suppression Division had really started fighting with the state preceptor?”

Li Mingtai looked tired and gloomy.

At this moment, he no longer lived up to his youthful appearance at that time. He had become an old man who was about to die.

Anyway, if Su Mu saw Li Mingtai again, he definitely wouldn’t recognize him at first glance.

Zhuge Hongtu, whom Li Mingtai addressed as Uncle Tu, did not change his appearance at all.

Decades of time had not left any traces on his body.

It was obvious that Zhuge Hongtu’s martial cultivation had improved a lot over the years. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so young.

He looked at the direction where the K ṣ itigarbha Master left and said with a frown,”

“Someone is causing trouble and trying to sow discord between us.”

“If it was really him, the two executioners wouldn’t have died.”

“But me and… Your Majesty.”

After becoming the state preceptor, the red dragon centipede’s ferocious aura was restrained a little.

However, it was only restrained, not disappeared.

It was fine if this crafty monster didn’t make a move, but once he did, it would definitely be earth-shattering!

Why would he go to such great lengths to kill two executioners who were not even Grandmasters?

“But there’s a lot of trouble in the streets. Can you find the person who caused the trouble?”

Li Mingtai asked tiredly.

“I won’t find him for now. This person has some tricks up his sleeve, but he didn’t leave any traces behind.”

“It’s very likely that an external force has infiltrated the Imperial City and is preparing to disrupt the situation in Da Qian.”

Zhuge Hongtu looked helpless.

He had already ordered his men to search with all their might, but there was still no trace of them.

If Zhuge Hongtu did not know the character of the Master of the Nation, Pudu, he would have started to suspect him.

Hearing this, Li Mingtai continued,”

“External forces? It’s none other than those rebels.”

“Uncle Tu, when you take that step, you can sweep the world by yourself!”

“It’s just that if we can’t find that person now, I’m afraid we won’t be able to calm the situation!”

Then, he looked at Zhuge Hongtu and asked hopefully,”

“Uncle Tu, how long more before you can take that step?”

Zhuge Hongtu opened his mouth and sighed,”

“The bottleneck does not show any signs of loosening. I’m afraid…Far away.”

“This step is too difficult!”

Hearing this, a look of fear appeared on Li Mingtai’s old face.

“Uncle Tu, you said it last time. That centipede…The state preceptor had already reached the final step!”

Zhuge Hongtu gritted his teeth and nodded,

“Yes, I am. Since a year ago, that fellow’s aura had become more and more abnormal.”

“I’m afraid that within three years, he will welcome the moment when he transforms into a dragon!”

The fear on Li Mingtai’s old face grew. He grabbed Zhuge Hongtu’s sleeve and shouted,

“Uncle Tu, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die yet!”

“I just obtained a pill formula that can extend my life. I can still live, I can still live!”

Looking at Li Mingtai’s miserable appearance, he thought about the devastated Great Qian Dynasty and the current situation.

Zhuge Hongtu’s sadness suddenly came to him. The coarse man who had not wet his eyes for decades almost couldn’t hold back his tears.

His choice that day…Was it really right?

Everything now…

Zhuge Hongtu’s emotions were in a mess, but he quickly collected himself.

He sighed and patted Li Mingtai’s shoulder. He said in a low voice,”

“Don’t worry, Uncle Tu is here, Uncle Tu is here!”

Zhuge Hongtu suddenly thought of the white figure with an extraordinary temperament.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of years had passed, and the world had changed.

If he was really wrong, then he could only continue to be wrong!

There was no turning back!

..

Some things could be seen at a glance and clearly when one stood at a certain height.

People like Yuan Qinhu, who were from the middle and lower levels of the Demon Slayer, mostly believed in the rumors. They really thought that the Demon Suppression Division had started a fight with the state preceptor.

However, Zhuge Hongtu found the rumor ridiculous.

Regardless of whether it was him or the state preceptor, if they really wanted to deal with the other party, they would definitely not only have these little tricks. It was like playing house for children.

No matter how many Demon Slayers and Dao children died, it didn’t matter to the two of them. They couldn’t touch their roots.

However, the most important thing was that the current situation was at a very delicate stage!

Li Mingtai, Zhuge Hongtu, and the red dragon centipede had reached a delicate balance through their power and interests.

However, as long as the red dragon centipede successfully transformed into a dragon, this balance would be broken!

If Zhuge Hongtu still couldn’t break through by then, the two of them would be in danger!

And now, it was the eve of the red dragon centipede transforming into a dragon.

Therefore, the situation in the Imperial City was already tense to the extreme!

Even though the person in the dark, or rather, the instigation methods of that faction, were somewhat low-level.

However, this situation was like a powder keg that could be ignited with just a spark.

No matter how small the effect of this low-level provocation was, it was enough to cause a spark.

Zhuge Hongtu knew that everyone in the Demon Suppression Division was in danger and was ready for battle.

Under such high pressure, the situation might get out of control one day.

In the end, the person in the dark was nothing. The real threat was the national master, the Immortal Pudu!

Once it successfully transformed into a dragon, Da Qian would no longer be of any use to him.

However, who would be able to restrain this giant demon then?

There was no need to provoke him, and the enlightened man would completely remove his restraints and let himself go!

The demon core in his hand would also be useless.

Zhuge Hongtu’s heart sank at the thought of this.

The image of the white figure with an extraordinary temperament appeared in his mind again.

If Yun Qingkong was still here, the situation might not be so bad.

Even if he really did turn into a dragon, Zhuge Hongtu would have a helper.

But now, no one could help him.

The only one had been betrayed by him.

Zhuge Hongtu closed his eyes in pain.

“Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that I have been unable to break through for a long time.”

“The inner demon has formed! That life and death crisis was ultimately not passed.”

..

Just as he was feeling extremely complicated, Li Mingtai suddenly raised his old face. With tears on his cheeks, he asked Zhuge Hongtu tentatively,

“Uncle Tu, those three medicinal pills…”

Zhuge Hongtu’s veins bulged on his forehead.

Both of them knew that these elixirs were refined by the enlightened man on the night of the Blood Moon with the help of countless people in the Imperial City.

It was fine if he was unable to stop it, but now he still wanted to consume it!

This kind of emperor…

Zhuge Hongtu’s fists clenched and loosened.

After a few rounds, he sighed helplessly.

“It can be consumed. Divide one pill into ten equal portions and consume it once every seven days. One must not take too much of it, or else one would not be able to withstand the medicinal effects.”

“As for the effect…Warriors and Qi Practitioners could increase their cultivation while mortals could extend their lives.”

“Thank you for your advice, Uncle Tu!”

Li Mingtai immediately beamed with joy when he heard the words ” longevity.”

He crawled over on all fours and put the three blood-red pills into his bosom, not caring about the countless vengeful souls floating above him.

This cannibalism skill still depended on the imperial family!
