Zhan Qisheng knew that Li Chengfeng was a shameless, despicable bastard. Describing him as a scoundrel was an insult to scoundrel!
He was a despicable person!
How could there be such an annoying person in this world?!
Zhan Qisheng did not know how he managed to convince himself. He only felt that if he did not leave, he would lose himself and pounce on Li Chengfeng, making this maddening bastard disappear from his sight!
It was not that Zhan Qisheng did not have the confidence to defeat Li Chengfeng. The magical weapons and power he had accumulated were enough for him to defeat a very powerful opponent. However, all of this was not prepared for Li Chengfeng.
Defeating and killing Li Chengfeng would not benefit Zhan Qisheng at all other than letting him vent his anger.
Just like Grand Senior Sister and Shanxue, they needed Li Chengfeng to survive before they could carry out the next step of their plan.
Zhan Qisheng was the same.
That was why he tolerated it. After throwing down the few magical weapons and talismans, he fled the scene.
After confirming that Zhan Qisheng had left, Xiaobao quickly pounced on it, carefully inspecting it before picking it up. After fiddling with it for a while, he looked up. "Young Master, it doesn't look like a trap."
Li Chengfeng stared at the direction Zhan Qisheng left, his brows furrowed slightly. He did not look as frivolous and cheap as before, as if he was thinking about something and did not hear Xiaobao.
"This guy … he's even willing to do this?
What's he trying to do? "Li Chengfeng muttered to himself.
Zhao Xiaobao excitedly examined the Eye of the Hades in his hand. He raised it up high and looked at it under the sunlight. When the sunlight shone down, he could see that the Blood of the Hades was reflecting a sparkling and resplendent light. The scarlet Blood of the Hades was reflecting a multi-colored light pattern, rippling like waves. It was extremely beautiful.
Xiaobao chuckled. "Of course!
He just wants you to pass the first round so Shanxue can deal with you! "
As he spoke, Xiaobao suddenly said nervously, "Young master, why don't we just take the treasure and lose the first round?"
Li Chengfeng glanced sideways at Xiaobao, his gaze unfriendly. Xiaobao immediately smiled apologetically. "I … I was just joking, just joking …"
In Xiaobao's eyes, the survival of Hidden Sword Court was indeed important, but it was far less important than his Young Master's safety.
Li Chengfeng smirked. "Zhan Qisheng is certain that I will protect the Sword Court, that's why he gave me these things!"
Xiaobao mumbled, "He actually gave it all to me!
To be so solicitous for no reason, and to be so solicitous, there must be some great conspiracy behind this! "
Li Chengfeng nodded. "Of course!
But what big conspiracy was it?
Who are they targeting? "
Xiaobao snorted, "Of course they're targeting you, Young Master. Why else would they spend so much?
Just think about the Sun Piercer Star River from before. Wasn't that something he gave to Huangfu Song?
What's his purpose? Isn't it as obvious as a fly on a bald man's head? "
Li Chengfeng shook his head. "No, if it's just me, he wouldn't have to spend so much!
At least … if he really wanted me to be killed by Shanxue in the second round, he wouldn't have given me the Hades King's blood! "
Xiaobao paused, then reacted immediately. "That's right, Li Xuanming of Hidden Modesty Court isn't a golden body master, the Hades King's blood is useless against him!"
Li Chengfeng laughed coldly. "So, this Zhan Qisheng … what is he trying to do?
What does killing Shanxue do for him? "
Xiaobao was an intelligent man, but he was used to not using his brain when he was around Li Chengfeng. Under Li Chengfeng's guidance, he thought for a moment and said, "Is he trying to make you and Shanxue suffer?"
Li Chengfeng lowered his head in thought. "If Shanxue falls, and Huangfu Song falls now, there will be a huge power vacuum in Hidden Brocade Court. Perhaps Zhan Qisheng wants to use this opportunity to rise to power!"
Xiaobao said angrily, "What a good plan he has in mind!
He'll use someone else to do his dirty work, and in the end, he'll reap the rewards! "
Li Chengfeng stroked his stubbled chin. "This guy … he's got guts?
How dare he scheme against Shanxue?
He just entered and he already dares to climb to the top of Hidden Brocade Court? "
Xiaobao thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "But if Shanxue is really killed by us, and Huangfu Song falls … Indeed, Hidden Brocade Court's most capable person is Zhan Qisheng."
Of course, Li Chengfeng knew that the most capable person was not referring to Zhan Qisheng's strength, but his family background.
To Hidden Brocade Court, promoting a person to a high position was not just based on the person's strength. If the person was strong and did not have a strong background, they would not be able to control the crowd.
The logic was simple. Although everyone was wealthy, Xiaobao was just the descendant of a fifth-ranked official. His family had three dukes for generations, all of them were first-ranked officials. Xiaobao was only slightly stronger than him, and you want me to submit to you?
Was that even possible?
Plus, as the descendant of a noble with a strong family background, Xiaobao only lacked a little bit of strength. He could rely on money to get there.
With a sea of resources and money, as long as it was not a golden body difference, he could easily crush anyone.
Zhan Qisheng himself was the best example!
If he was not the Young Master of the Zhan family, would he have so many magical weapons and resources for him to squander?
With so many Dharma treasures and resources, not to mention Huangfu Song, he might even be able to fight against Shanxue for a few rounds.
This was the power of money and resources!
Hence, other than Shanxue and Huangfu Song, Zhan Qisheng was the only one worth supporting.
Not strong enough?
That's fine, his family was rich!
What?
You said you were talented?
Were you as rich as him?
What?
You said you were hardworking?
Were you as rich as him?
Poor as a scholar, rich as a martial artist. Destroy your family to cultivate.
Li Chengfeng sucked in a breath of cold air. He must have guessed Zhan Qisheng's intentions. That's why he was bold enough to leave everything to him. He did not mind Li Chengfeng's unreasonable demands at all.
Because there could only be three endings. First, Li Chengfeng killed Shanxue, leaving Hidden Brocade Court with a huge vacancy in the upper echelons. Zhan Qisheng would take the opportunity to rise to the top.
Second, Li Chengfeng would be killed by Shanxue, and Zhan Qisheng would get rid of a huge threat. Not only would he please Shanxue, but he would also kill Li Chengfeng with a borrowed knife. It was the best of both worlds.
Third, Li Chengfeng and Shanxue would both be heavily injured, and it would be best if both of them perished.
Zhan Qisheng would be smiling even in his sleep!
From the looks of it, no matter which ending it was, it was acceptable for Zhan Qisheng!
It looked like Zhan Qisheng had lost a few magical weapons and many expensive talismans, but … he was the one who gained the most in the end!
As for the magical weapons … would the Zhan family, the number one family in the world, care about that?
Zhan Qisheng only lost a few items, but it allowed Li Chengfeng, Li Xuanming and Shanxue to fight to the death. This was like killing three men with two peaches!
"Zhan Qisheng, Zhan Qisheng … I can't believe I've underestimated you!" Li Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, extremely displeased.
Since when had he been used like this?
Grand Senior Sister had used him, but now Zhan Qisheng wanted to use him too?
Li Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, quickly calculating in his mind. However, no matter how he thought about it, he could not escape from this predicament.
This was an overt plot. You clearly knew the other party's plan and goal, but you still had to follow their steps!
"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Xiaobao, keep your things. Let's go back and train for the next two days.
Hidden Sword Court's battle to the death will be in two days! "
Li Chengfeng patted Xiaobao's shoulder. After the two of them kept their magical weapons, they turned to leave.
