Chapter 243 Blood for Blood?
When the white light dissipated, the surrounding area turned into a deserted land, and a blood shadow stood in the void. After standing for a while, he suddenly knelt on the ground, covered his chest, coughed several times, and was stained with blood.
Half of his body was burned by the flames, and his injuries were even more serious.
Not only that.
Being able to survive this explosion had already consumed a lot of his spiritual energy reserves.
Even second only to the attack a hundred years ago.
Li Shanhe's hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His pupils shrank suddenly and he murmured: "Wanji Buddha..."
The explosive power of Wanji Buddha's relics is extremely terrifying. If it weren't for the protection of mountains and rivers, his situation would be even more dangerous.
After this explosion, his vitality was severely damaged. He knew that Li Changxiao must have left at this moment, but even if he wanted to pursue him, he was unable to use it!
If he was chased by force, his situation would be even worse. He would naturally feel angry and pursue him at any cost, but if his own life was really involved, he would naturally be reluctant to part with it.
He looked in a certain direction and clenched his fists. He had not felt this way for a long time since he proclaimed himself emperor.
"His Majesty!"
The officials arrived late.
…
Li Shanhe took a chariot back to the city and continued to recuperate for several days before gradually recovering, but his body was aging at a rate visible to the naked eye every day.
When he got better, when he walked around, his stature was more than doubled.
Visibly aging.
If Li Shanhe used to look like a middle-aged man with a lot of power, now Li Shanhe has gradually become old and frail.
The Wanji Buddha's relics exploded, and several mysterious sounds invaded his body. They are still vibrating inside his body, disturbing him every day. His five internal organs are in constant pain, making him very uncomfortable.
His internal organs are sluggish and need to be nursed back to health, and he should not walk around.
The pursuit of Li Changxiao was naturally delayed. A prince from the palace received the warning and hurried over. When he saw his father like this, he burst into mourning.
Li Shanhe sat in a wooden wheelchair because it was not suitable for him to move around. He sighed silently when he saw his children and grandchildren.
Looking back on the past, he had almost never been defeated in his life, but he never thought that he would lose to that thief in the end. He felt great hatred in his heart and wished he could have his skin ripped off, but if he wanted to survive and live longer, he could only rest in peace. .
evening.
The sun sets.
Li Shanhe was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, wearing a mink fur cape. He was moved by the scene, sighing that the hero was dying, but the fists under his clothes were clenched and loosened.
On the other side, the faces of the princes who came after hearing the news were all white with fear.
They had never seen their father reduced to such a situation. He never expected that his father, who was chasing him personally, would suffer such injuries.
Especially Li Tianyu, he felt that Li Changxiao, the instigator of this incident, could no longer be described as a ruthless person. This was simply weird.
He really couldn't imagine how that kid did it.
After resting here for a few days, Li Shanhe and the princes took a chariot back to the court.
As soon as he returned to court, Li Shanhe issued a killing order for Ling Tian.
Li Changxiao's portrait spread all over the country. If anyone can kill this son, he will be a guest of the Lingtian Dynasty.
Li Tianxia could see a bit of anger in this action, and murmured: "You are really old."
But he said that the days passed by like this.
One day.
There was a prince whose life was in danger and was about to die of old age. When he was about to die, he asked to see Li Shanhe.
This prince's name is Li Tianshang. In terms of age, he is the younger prince. He still has some years left to live. Unfortunately, he met his former enemy ten years ago. After a battle, he used up the remaining spiritual energy. He was beaten up and even injured by the other party. In the past ten years, the Lingtian Dynasty had found many miraculous medicines for him, but they still couldn't cure him well. He was wasting away day by day. Today, counting the time, the end was indeed approaching.
As soon as Li Tianshang saw Li Shanhe, he bent down and knelt down. Li Shanhe took pity on him and exempted him from these etiquettes. Li Tianshang stated his purpose of coming. He came to share His Majesty's worries.
Hearing this, Li Shanhe waved his hand to let him go down. He was almost buried, so how could he share his worries? However, Li Tianshang not only refused to leave, but also said, "Father, have you ever heard of 'blood for blood'?"
Hearing this, Li Shanhe frowned, "Are you talking about 'blood for blood', the evil way of Pingtian Palace?"
"Yes." Li Tianshang nodded, "Please use my blood to mark the rebellious traitor with my blood, so as to teach him that if he offends me, the Lingtian Dynasty will be hunted down endlessly!"
The so-called "blood for blood" technique is used to mark the bloodline, lock the whereabouts, and hunt down the enemy. Forces that claim to be righteous will not use this technique easily.
Li Shanhe frowned and showed hesitation, "'Blood for blood' is a magic spell of Pingtian Palace. It is not something you can use just if you want to. It requires a lot of human lives to make up for it. How can you use it so easily?"
Li Tian said sadly: "Father, when did you become so indecisive? That thief first killed Zhou's mother, then his brothers, and then hurt my father. This is a great treason and an act that harms the peace of the world. It will go further." He said that he wanted to interrupt the dragon energy of our Lingtian Dynasty. If we don’t kill him, how can our Lingtian Dynasty lose face?”
【】
"The child is already determined to die. I will only wait for my father's order. I will use my blood to mark the blood of the thief. In this way, it will be much more convenient for the royal brothers to hunt down this child. He is No matter how hard you run, there will be no peace from now on until you die of exhaustion!"
Li Tianshang spoke loudly, his words were sonorous and powerful, and Li Shanhe gradually hesitated, his eyes narrowed slightly, and it did make sense.
Li Tianshang said again: "Father, I heard that there is a city suspected of rebellion. Why not sacrifice the city with blood, and add my life to complete the art of blood for blood, and then spread the rumor that it was the Litian Dynasty that massacred the city! In this way, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly boosted, and the Litian Dynasty will be weakened day by day, and it will be conquered in no time! It is really a move that kills three birds with one stone!"
Hearing this, Li Shanhe played with the jade teacup in his hand.
The candlelight flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
......
Outside the hall.
Li Tianyu felt that his father must be depressed after such a blow. He would definitely win his father's favor by saying some good words and taking some responsibilities at this moment.
From a distance, he saw the hunched, old Li Tianshang walking into the palace.
He frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, this Li Tianshang was his cousin, who was about to die.
Why would this dying man go to his father's palace? He was about to die, so why did he go to share his father's worries? Although Li Tianyu asked himself that he was a filial son, he couldn't do it to this extent.
Li Tianyu keenly realized that there might be something fishy, so he secretly remembered it in his heart and returned the same way.
...
A few days passed.
Li Shanhe had been thinking about this matter. Before the fall of the Pingtian Palace, it was one of the best killer organizations in the world. Its killing skills were unparalleled, and no one could break the blood tracking of blood for blood.
Before the spiritual energy was exhausted, the secret method could be activated with spiritual energy, but now it can only be activated with blood. Now the Lingtian Dynasty is constantly at war with the Chitian Dynasty and the Litian Dynasty, and there is a lot of blood. If it is collected slowly, it can also be activated.
But... Li Tianshang's life is not long. The most important thing about this secret method is that it requires the sacrifice of a living life with a blood relationship.
Li Shanhe hesitated for several days and finally made a decision. What Li Tianshang said made sense, and the two of them took a ship to the south on a chosen day.
According to Li Tianshang, there is a dragon city in the south, with high mountains and far waters, and it is suspected to be dependent on the Chitian Dynasty.
It is most appropriate to use this city as the price of the evil magic.
After all, this matter is not a glorious thing. Only Li Shanhe and Li Tianshang know about it, so it is naturally held in secret.
However, there is another prince who knows about this matter, that is Li Tianyu. The power he holds in his hands is already very great, and he has noticed everything that happened in the palace.
When Li Tianyu knew that his father wanted to use the life of a city to perform "blood for blood", he didn't dare to believe it at first. He thought that his father must be old and confused. If it was his father in the past, the father who ruled a continent, he would never agree.
But later, he had a flash of thought and saw through the trick. He knew that there was someone with bad intentions behind it, so he knocked on Li Tianxia's door that day.
He got straight to the point and laughed in anger, "Sister, you really have a good plan."
Since Li Tianyu ran into Li Tianshang outside his father's bedroom, he sent someone to investigate Li Tianshang and learned that this person was close to Li Tianxia. And Li Tianxia has always been a woman who does not get up early without profit. It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Tianshang is a useless person. There are only one or two values that can be sought from him, so it is not difficult to guess.
Li Tianxia was stunned, her eyes were blank and innocent.
Li Tianyu was a little angry. He knew what kind of person this woman was. He pointed at her and said angrily: "You are really vicious. Don't think I don't know your purpose."
"You are just taking advantage of my father's anger to attack Mu Xianchang! You are really vicious. Where do you put the lives of the people in that city? Have you ever considered that my father is wise all his life, and after this incident, it will definitely be a big stain!"
That Dragon City is one of the places where the mother of the river originated and grew. If it is sacrificed by blood, the impact on the mother of the river can be imagined. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has shaken the foundation.
Li Tianxia heard this and simply stopped pretending to be innocent. She smiled contemptuously. If she hadn't deduced behind her, how could Li Tianshang have the secret technique of Pingtian Palace.
She laughed at Li Tianyu, and also laughed at her father Li Shanhe.
"My father is really old. Whether it is his mind or his spirit, he is no longer as good as before." Li Tianxia didn't answer the question and murmured.
Li Tianyu was furious when he heard this, but he didn't say much in the end. He glared at her coldly and sent people to prepare the imperial wheel to go south as quickly as possible.
First, he felt that this was inappropriate.
If this happened, it would be a stain for generations to come, and he didn't want to see his father like this.
Second, the people of Longcheng were indeed innocent.
Third, Mu Xianchang had a good relationship with him. If he became emperor in the future, the country would be stable!
