Li Dan sat down and looked at the much older sage.
It seems that managing things is indeed not something that normal people can do.
"Did you do what happened in Qingzhou?" The great sage came over and made tea for Li Dan with one hand.
Li Dan nodded: "You know?"
The great sage let out a long sigh, spiritual energy surged around his body, and an arm was transformed from the broken arm with spiritual power.
He returned to the desk above and got back into the vast sea of official duties without raising his head.
There were too many things for him to deal with.
"Thanks to your noble hand, those people in the Ancient King Realm and others were spared. However, the bodies of King Qianliu, who is in the middle stage of the Ancient Emperor Realm, and two others who are in the early stage of the Ancient Emperor Realm, appeared in the bounty offered by the Black Emperor.
It was taken out and shown off."
The great sage spoke hoarsely while dealing with it.
Li Dan took a sip of tea and then shrugged.
"There is no way, and I don't want to do anything. It's true. I used your name directly at the beginning, but people didn't care about you at all. I thought that your rights as a great sage should let everyone follow orders, and that
King Qianliu also wants the thunder in me, but he was the first to have murderous intentions."
Li Dan didn't lie.
The great sage did not speak. After processing three official documents in succession, he raised his head and looked at Li Dan: "I believe this. As an ancient awakener, although I have only been in contact with King Qianliu for a short time, I also know a thing or two about his general character.
of.
It’s true that I am the great sage of the shrine, but I mainly obey their orders. Even if King Qianliu is there, there is nothing I can do even if I am present at the time. I am not afraid of your ridicule. Except for those ancient seniors and the ancient emperor, the rest of the people in the Eastern Continent
Follow my orders."
Li Dan was not surprised when he heard the great sage's explanation.
Because it could be seen from their disdainful expressions at that time.
"You killed the other two in my camp, but King Qianliu was killed by another person. Is that person your senior brother?" the great sage asked again.
Li Dan nodded: "Yes!"
"It's amazing. Before the fifth continent appeared, your senior brother could ask that golden monkey to congratulate your wife. Now that the continent has been closed, he has appeared again. It seems that we still underestimated it."
The great sage said to himself, which eventually turned into a wry smile.
He could feel that the fifth continent was deliberately laid out, and hundreds of millions of cultivators were used to do more than simply repair the loopholes there. There must be some ulterior secret.
The wild beasts there are powerful and terrifying, maintaining their most primitive nature.
Although the strong men there are scattered in tribes, if they are gathered together, they are an unimaginable force.
He doesn't believe that there hasn't been a ruler there for hundreds of thousands of years?
It's just that it's too big inside, and three years of exploration didn't yield any useful clues at all.
It's chaotic, it's really chaotic.
"So this person is also you?" The great sage waved his hand, and several portraits appeared.
There is an exchange office for the shrine camp, and there is an exchange office for the Black Emperor camp.
Inside, a figure wrapped in black fear used the corpses of the other party's ancient king and ancient emperor as exchange chips, and left with the fairy jade.
Li Dan smiled. He was alone now and was not afraid of anything.
He crossed his legs and said, "Yes, it's me."
"Three ancient emperors, one hundred and twenty-three ancient kings, including one in my shrine, no, four if you add the previous ones, sixty-six ancient kings, Li Dan, you are very good!"
When the great sage said this, he stopped writing, held his chin with both hands, and looked at Li Dan with cold murderous intent in his eyes.
"I remember when you gave me the bounty list from the Black Emperor, I said that maybe both sides would hunt. This was considered informed in advance. Besides, you also said that the real strong man steps on the corpses of others.
As someone who has climbed to the top, there seems to be nothing wrong with me on this point.
I'm just doing what most people are doing. Besides, you only saw the loss of manpower on the side of the shrine, but there should be more on the side of the Black Emperor."
Li Dan was not worried about the great sage.
The Ancient King's Dzogchen state can be suppressed by him with one hand.
After hearing Li Dan's excuse, the great sage smiled and reorganized his official duties.
"Yes, this is what I said. From your point of view, it is correct. It is even a rare opportunity in troubled times. Do you know why I have the image of the Black Emperor?" the great sage asked.
Li Dan thought for a moment: "Are there any undercover agents?"
"Of course there are undercover agents, we have them, and they also have them, but this time your image was sent by them. So many top-level Ancient King realms have died, and we are both worried.
After all, you are hunting both of us, and the enemy of our enemy is our friend, but now, you are the enemy of both of us."
Hearing this, Li Dan couldn't help but laugh: "You can still do it like this."
"Any time, any means will do, but don't move yet!" The great sage finished annotating the two official documents, and then took a picture of Li Dan with the image stone.
Then he held it in his hand, and the little crystal lights slowly dissipated.
Li Dan did not stop him, but asked with interest: "Is that my portrait just now?"
The great sage did not hide anything and nodded directly: "Yes, both sides are very curious about who that person is, so they must know. Whether they evade or pursue him in the future, that is their freedom.
Li Dan, I am a member of the shrine first, and then your old friend. I am sorry about this, I have to do whatever I am in."
The great sage said with an apology.
Li Dan laughed loudly: "No, no, you are worrying too much about this. I understand your difficulties and methods very well, and I guess I do too, but I am not sitting in your position. After all, I have trained you for so many years, and
Giving you such a high position, everything is as it should be."
Hearing Li Dan say this "with extenuating circumstances", the unfamiliarity in his tone still made him understand that the relationship between the two had broken down.
Also, there is never anything in this world that comes without benefits.
My previous contact with Li Dan was just because I valued his talent in alchemy, and I always wanted to draw him into the shrine camp.
Later, he contacted him because he wanted to find the entrance because his senior brother had entered the fifth continent.
But now, everything is useless.
But one thing is, they were indeed friends.
Just now, with the release of the portrait and the verification of the information, the relationship between friends was gone.
The great sage understood this, and so did Li Dan.
"By the way, you must have something to do when you come here this time, but it doesn't matter, let's just put an end to our acquaintance." The great sage put down his official duties.
Li Dan also let out a breath: "Okay, first, where is Lu Shiyao now?"
"No comment, I haven't paid attention to her for a long time. From now on, she will be an ordinary member of my shrine. She will no longer have any special characteristics. It will be assigned by each branch, but I will not tell anyone.
As for her relationship with you, don't even think about taking her to escape.
You have sworn allegiance in front of the great shrine statue, but once you choose to betray her, it will only harm her, including your mother Garuda and your aunt Yin Jiuque."
Li Dan snorted: "Of course I know this, but as long as you don't betray everything, it will be fine. It's just that you haven't completed the mission. I will be relieved one day, but you actually know about their relationship with me. It seems that it started from Chi
My grandpa in Yang Sheng Land must have known about it."
The great sage nodded: "Yes, but as a former friend, I will not inform those people of the kinship relationship between the two parties."
"Thank you very much!" Li Dan cupped his hand.
"Second thing, have you seen the shrine or the Black Emperor? As far as I know, they should have died in the ancient times. What do you want to do with these so-called beliefs?"
Li Dan asked the second question.
The great sage shook his head: "I refuse to answer this point."
Li Dan really wanted to tell him that these two people came from other universes.
They are outsiders. As people in this universe, why should we believe in them?
But think about it and let it go. Once the great sage in front of you leaves the shrine, it will be a betrayal and life will be worse than death.
And without this position, what would he be?
All that's left is endless pursuit and death threats.
Some shrines were once dissatisfied, including those from the Black Emperor's side.
Being unable to control oneself but liking to have power is probably the most realistic portrayal of the great sage today.
