Chapter 444: Only by Being Desperate Can You Make a Better Move

At this time.

Lu Zhikui led his men back, and when he showed the Prime Minister's token, he entered the city quickly without any hindrance.

Lu Zhikui looked at the current royal city and knew that Emperor Qin might have reached a critical moment.

When Lu Zhikui approached the palace, five Yuanying-level guards wearing black abyss armor appeared in front of Lu Zhikui.

"Prime Minister, the king sent you over."

Lu Zhikui's heart trembled.

"Thank you all."

Then Lu Zhikui adjusted his state, quickened his pace, and walked straight into the palace.

Entering the palace, there was a heavy atmosphere in the air. Even the maids and eunuchs inside and outside the palace lowered their eyebrows and dared not make any sound, for fear of breaking this solemn silence.

Soon.

Inside the palace hall, surrounded by black dragon decorations, the magnificent scene came into view.

The hall is paved with exquisite jade floors, each of which exudes a warm luster. On both sides are lifelike bronze sculptures, some of which stand upright with spears in hand, and some overlook the world, showing the majesty of the emperor.

Above hangs a huge glass lamp, which is crystal clear, with soft but bright light, illuminating every corner.

In the center of the hall.

A wide throne is placed on a high platform, carved with dragons and phoenixes, magnificent.

On the throne, Emperor Qin is wearing a black dragon robe, a crown with tassels on his head, with a solemn face and a torch-like gaze, revealing an unparalleled domineering aura.

But if you look closely, you can see that the Qin Emperor in front of you lacks a trace of charm, because this is the incarnation of the Qin Emperor. Where is the real Qin Emperor now? No one in the entire dynasty knows.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Zhikui walked into the hall, knelt on one knee, and performed the etiquette of monarch and minister.

"You have mobilized nearly ten great Xuanzhen demon envoys these days, but now none of them have returned, and the life card is broken, but why?"

Although the Qin Emperor's voice sounded calm, this word still made Lu Zhikui feel cold.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"I..."

Lu Zhikui wanted to quibble, but when he thought of the word "failure" when he sent him a message, he knew that the Qin Emperor should know everything.

"I am guilty."

"I did some stupid things because of my own selfishness..."

Lu Zhikui told all the things he had done, and when he finished his last sentence, Lu Zhikui was already soaked with sweat.

When Lu Zhikui looked up again, the glass ghost body that he had nurtured with the formation in his home also appeared in front of him.

"Glass ghost body."

"Really good."

"You are worthy of being the prime minister who controls the world's intelligence for me."

"I have no information about this thing, but you have a way."

The Qin Emperor's voice was still so dull, but every word he said was like an invisible sword piercing Lu Zhikui.

Beads of sweat slid down Lu Zhikui's forehead. He was terrified, knowing that he had touched the bottom line of the Qin Emperor.

"I know I am wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment." Lu Zhikui bowed his head and admitted his mistake, his voice trembling.

The Qin Emperor stared at Lu Zhikui quietly, his eyes deep, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Lu Zhikui, you have served my Daxuan for many years and have made outstanding contributions, but this matter is too absurd. The lives of ten demon-suppressing envoys are not a joke?"

Lu Zhikui trembled all over. He knew that this was not just a simple rebuke, but meant that he would face serious consequences.

"I will spare you the death penalty for now, considering your past contributions." The Qin Emperor's voice was full of majesty, "But from now on, I will deprive you of your position as prime minister and demote you to the chief officer of the living soul sacrifice."

"Hold this last barrier for me!"

When Lu Zhikui heard this, he was struck by lightning and was stunned.

This meant that the power and status he had worked hard for many years, as well as the plan he had made for so long, were all gone.

"Thank you... Your Majesty for not killing me."

In response, Lu Zhikui also squeezed out these words with great difficulty, with a strong bitterness in his voice.

"Go."

The Qin Emperor waved his hand, and Lu Zhikui stood up, as if he had lost his soul, and walked out swayingly.

When he reached the door of the hall.

At this time, Lu Zhikui paused and looked forward with a sullen look.

"You... did it!"

In front of Lu Zhikui, the figure of You Lian appeared here.

"I just want to change to a smarter and more reliable partner."

Facing the current Lu Zhikui, Youlian responded bluntly, and then walked straight into the hall.

The current Lu Zhikui is of no use to Youlian.

According to Youlian's guess.

If Lu Zhikui still doesn't give up, he should immediately flee the royal city, and then use all means to attack Li Jiuqing, seeking a glimmer of hope.

Inside the hall.

Like Lu Zhikui before, Youlian first paid a visit to Emperor Qin.

"Only by being desperate can you make a better move."

"Then Lu Zhikui always holds the identity of the Prime Minister of Daxuan, looking ahead and behind, when can he help this emperor get that magical power back."

Facing the words of Emperor Qin.

Youlian did not comment.

"Your Majesty is so sure, Lu Zhikui, can you really do it?"

Youlian asked.

In her opinion, if Lu Zhikui was really capable, he would have brought the thing back long ago and why would he have waited so long.

"That's why I said that only by being desperate can we make a better move. As the first prime minister of my Great Xuan, Lu Zhikui has a force that I am jealous of."

Emperor Qin said with a smile.

"Little girl, you performed well, better than your brothers."

"So..."

"I'll leave the last level of this emperor to you."

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

You Lian agreed to this matter. At this time, You Lian's eyes were shining, and he was getting closer and closer to what he was pursuing.

...

Here.

Lu Zhikui's actions were just as You Lian and others had guessed.

It was obviously impossible for a person in a high position to give up everything now, so Lu Zhikui, who left the palace, clenched his fists, and then immediately took out a token and crushed it.

Not long after.

Lu Zhikui's figure left the royal city with a black wind.

At this time.

Kurong Mountain, in the Fire Nether Sect.

Li Jiuqing sat cross-legged in the secret room, exuding a powerful aura.

The Yanglinghuarong method he practiced has been successful, and he is now consolidating his realm.

Suddenly, a blazing flame burst out from Li Jiuqing's body and turned into a huge fire dragon.

This fire dragon is lifelike, as if it really exists.

Then, another flame burst out from Li Jiuqing's body and turned into a huge fire phoenix.

The dragon and phoenix fire spirits appeared together, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced.

They circled and danced in the air, making waves of dragon roars and phoenix calls.

The whole secret room was shrouded by this powerful force, which made people feel extremely shocked.

Li Jiuqing slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of excitement and expectation flashed in his eyes.

"It should be OK."
