Mythical Three Kingdoms

On the spot, besides Chen Xi and Ji Xiang, even Lub Su and the neutral Mann Chong’s hair stood on end. Mann Chong belongs to the type who acts according to the law. Is what Ji Xiang did terrifying? Indeed, it is very frightening, but so what? Does Han Law have regulations prohibiting Ji Xiang from distorting the Will of the Miscellaneous Hun?

No, quite the contrary; if we were to speak truthfully according to Han Law, what Ji Xiang did would be considered a good deed. Therefore, Mann Chong totally ignores whatever Li Youu says; if Li Youu wants to take action, he’d still need to get past Mann Chong first.

Upon hearing this, the cold light in Li Youu’s eyes, which could hardly be concealed, almost instantly turned into murderous intent. This is a discipline; that means if it’s destroyed, it can grow again.

”How long does it take to learn normally?” Fortunately, Li Youu is Li Youu; the moment the murderous intent emerged, he understood the meaning behind Ji Xiang’s words, and after a moment of silence, he asked. He suddenly realized he had underestimated the woman in front of him.

”Depends on the person. Some may spend their whole life as useless, while others, without textbooks, can master it with just theory. For example, me,” Ji Xiang said with a certain pride. Okay, this area is indeed something to be proud of, even though she was schemed against from the start, her talent cannot be denied.

If it was before, Lub Su and others might have refuted it, but after today’s incident, Lub Su had no more motivation to refute. From a certain angle, his sister-in-law is indeed a monster, brainwashing hundreds of thousands of captives — Lub Su was quite frightened. This is truly courting death.

Actually, at this moment, Guo Jia, Li Youu, and Lub Su all realized what Ji Xiang meant by saying this is a discipline, and this is transmittable wisdom. Its core meaning is not that Ji Xiang would pass it on, but that without Ji Xiang, eventually, someone would achieve this.

”House arrest or kill me, and then let others covet this power,” Ji Xiang said mockingly to Li Youu. ”Li Wenru, to put it unpleasantly, as the former Xuanyuan High Priest, before I got the theoretical book, I already knew these things. Shamans are originally a branch of this power, just that before I got the book, these were unsystematic.”

Li Youu’s face turned slightly cold; killing Ji Xiang wouldn’t lead to chaos if this is indeed a discipline. At least Ji Xiang is putting these things on the surface.

If she truly had ambitions, Ji Xiang shouldn’t have waited at the mountain gate for them to capture her, nor should she have exposed her danger among those hundreds of thousands of captives.

”Seems our Minister Li also knows where the crux lies. It’s not that I mastered this thing, but that this thing is a discipline — something others can learn. Killing me, this discipline still exists. Even burning the Classic Books and exterminating all shamans, fear that this would increase those who covet it,” Ji Xiang sneered at Li Youu.

When Ji Xiang figured it out, she knew Chen Xi would surely spare her, and Li Youu would kill her. However, on Li Youu’s side, she has countermeasures, and she has confidence. Even if she does nothing, someone in this mountain gate will block Li Youu’s knife. She’s merely curious about how far Lub Su will go, but she’s somewhat satisfied.

Li Youu furrowed his brows tightly; he also couldn’t help but admit that Ji Xiang was making a valid point. If Ji Xiang’s incident were exposed, even if she were secretly executed, the lid would be lifted for others to covet this power. Once pursuing this power starts, someone is bound to eventually obtain it.

Compared to Ji Xiang, who isn’t spreading the core of her school of thought and openly on the surface, those truly aiming to overthrow the country are more dangerous.

Therefore, what Li Youu can think about now is how long it might be safe if Ji Xiang were dead.

At this time, all the Civil Officials, except for Chen Xi, were frowning. This incident is indeed troublesome; now they understand that even without Ji Xiang, this phenomenon will sooner or later appear, not quite as Ji Xiang has done — reaching this level instantly.

Conversely, if Ji Xiang planned gradually, and chose ordinary civilians for experimental material, that would be the true danger.

However, precisely due to this concern, Li Youu and others realized that if similar people appear later, they’ll inevitably practice on ordinary folks first. Consequently, it’ll be even more secretive and also more perilous.

Even when such individuals expose themselves, they might have enough power to shake the foundation of the nation.

Just as Li Youu was contemplating how to handle this situation, Liu Bei, who Fa Zheng had notified upon Li Youu’s departure, arrived on horseback. After all, he was mobilizing troops, and there needed to be some explanation to Liu Bei’s side. However, in possession of the items, directly mobilizing wasn’t quite necessary.

”Wen Ru, Zichuan, oh, you’re all here?” Liu Bei stepped in, greeted the crowd with a smile, ”Earlier, Wen Ru mentioned a big incident had occurred. What is it?”

”Uh, Lord Xuande, you’re here too.” Chen Xi said, slightly wrinkling his brows.

With Liu Bei’s arrival, they probably had to disclose everything to go through this hurdle. Yet, thinking of revealing it, Chen Xi couldn’t help but glance at Ji Xiang. Judging by the current situation, Ji Xiang most likely already guessed most of it, but having dug her own grave, one must follow through with tears in their eyes. There was no need to make it this big.

”Here’s what happened...” Li Youu, devoid of any emotion, informed Liu Bei about the previous events. The more Liu Bei listened, the more gravely his expression transformed. Alright, for people of this era, such matters are indeed rather alarming.
