My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 626: Chapter 72: Eye of the Storm_2

But now.

Hecate proposed a brand new possibility...

"...What do you mean? Ha, you don’t have to play dumb, I also understand your country’s situation and know well the situation of your Yellow Springs."

Hecate noticed the horse-faced man looking over and chuckled, "It’s really complicated... no wonder you want to break away, if it were me, I’d want to break away too.

But really, what’s the point if you’re just doing it for freedom? You’re holding the Heirloom Seal of the Realm now, the thoughts and ambitions of many heroes and supreme authorities embedded in it haven’t disappeared, why not be bolder?

You know the words ’Mandate of Heaven, Eternal Longevity’ as well as I do, but you’re just using it to make yourself stronger, don’t you think it’s wasteful?

...Forget it, since you’ve made your decision, I won’t say more, goodbye."

She shook her head, looked regretful, waved gently, and was about to leave.

"..."

The horse-faced man’s expression kept changing, watching Hecate approach, then walk past him down the mountain, he finally couldn’t hold back: "Wait."

Hecate, with her back to the horse-faced man, a smile playing at her lips, turned around: "What is it? Something else?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The horse-faced man turned to face her, staring: "What do you mean by helping me hold back Celestial Strategy Mansion’s advanced combat power?"

Hecate didn’t answer, but asked, "Are you interested?"

The horse-faced man remained silent.

"Seems like you are... actually, it’s not surprising."

Hecate noticed his silence, nodded slightly, then muttered to herself, "After all, you have the Jade Seal now, if you have that little girl, you could completely create a new Yellow Springs, cooperate with the Jade Seal, acquire Feudal Dynasty’s gathering qi, appoint and strip authority ability, and most importantly the Imperial God ability.

By then, you will be the absolute ruler of the new Yellow Springs, and will be a true ’Emperor’, worthy of being called the master of the Divine Kingdom... Tsk tsk tsk."

"..."

Upon hearing Hecate’s monologue.

The horse-faced man’s breathing became heavy again, just as when he faced the Jade Seal moments ago.

Because her proposal was indeed feasible.

Although the new Yellow Springs definitely couldn’t compare to the current Yellow Springs Mainstream, not even close.

But... that would be a Yellow Springs completely under his control.

He would completely break free from the chains he was born with, and as Hecate said, become the master akin to the Divine Kingdom itself!

After death, one need not enter Yellow Springs Mainstream, achieving a certain degree of immortality!

The horse-faced man’s expression changed continuously, then he gritted his teeth, and asked again: "So... what exactly do you want to do? What do you want me to do?"

Hecate asked back: "Are you interested?"

The horse-faced man was silent for a moment, then spoke decisively: "...Yes!"

"......"

Hecate saw the desire on the horse-faced man’s face, heard the firm answer, and the corners of her mouth slowly lifted, more and more, wider and wider... as if every pore in her body was relaxing.

As expected!

In the end... this place is full of fools as stupid as pigs!!!

No matter how powerful! They’re still pigs! All pigs!! Celestial Strategy Mansion is pigs! Xia Yue is a pig! Qi Peng is a pig! The horse-faced man in front of her is a pig! Everyone is! All she needs to do is throw out some food... they will greedily gobble it like pigs!!!

And she is about to become the behind-the-scenes manipulator of one of the largest Empowerer organizations — Celestial Strategy Mansion!

She... will enter the Celestial Kingdom!!!

...

Celestial Strategy Trading.

The Front Desk.

Si Yujie did not know about the conversation between Hecate and the horse-faced man, of course, she also couldn’t know that the horse-faced man just made a decision, targeting her, or more accurately, her daughter... placing the biggest gamble since the formation of his Self.

The horse-faced man had almost put all his chips down.

At this moment.

What Si Yujie cared most about was Chen Lusi.

Since Chen Lusi left, one night had already passed.

The next day.

Si Yujie and the only two remaining members of the third team, Wu You and Xia Panqiu... along with the little girl gathered together once more.

"Any news from Chen Lusi? ...Is everything really okay, Xiaoxiao?"

Xia Panqiu came to the front desk, seeing Si Yujie holding her daughter’s hand, immediately asked.

Before Si Yujie could answer.

Wu You quickly replied: "He is in charge of Celestial Strategy, he should be fine! You saw it yourself, yesterday Chen Lusi was just like..."

At this point.

He seemed at a loss for a word, paused for a while, then continued: "Just like Xia Yue!"

This was the most fitting description he could think of.

"He’s not Xia Yue."

At this time.

Si Yujie gently shook her head, recalling what happened yesterday, softly said: "He is a very introverted person, completely different from Xia Yue."

"I meant capabilities... and isn’t it really similar?"

Wu You fell silent for a moment, then softly said: "Do you both really think they’re not similar?"

Xia Panqiu and Si Yujie, the two women, fell silent.

Actually.

They were more sensitive than Wu You, they certainly knew in essence, they were actually the same kind of person.

When Chen Lusi appeared in front of them, saying he was there to serve as Celestial Strategy, they had already known... Chen Lusi and Xia Yue were the same kind of person.

But Chen Lusi, after all, is not Xia Yue. Although powerful, he doesn’t have Xia Yue’s twenty years of experience, suddenly having to face the entire Celestial Strategy Mansion’s Celestial Strategy... they were very worried.

So emotionally.

The two didn’t want to admit that Chen Lusi was very similar to Xia Yue.

Because... Xia Yue had just passed away.

Because... they were afraid that Chen Lusi would be like Xia Yue, they didn’t want to lose Chen Lusi again.
