said, "To put it simply, during the Hundred Schools of Thought era, the ideas of any school represented a certain trend of thought. The collision of these trends was beneficial to both the country and...Chapter 381: The Proof Is Here

Hearing the name finally confirmed from the Holy Maiden's lips, Li Chen narrowed his eyes.

Although there had been speculation, there was no concrete evidence.

Now that's settled, we have proof.

"Is that true" Li Chen asked.

The holy maiden let out a cold snort and said, "As long as I give you a direction, you can easily verify the truth. He contacted my sect several months ago. During this time, his safe house in Beijing and intelligence were all provided by him."

"That's good."

Nodding, suppressing the surging killing intent in his heart, Li Chen said indifferently, "I see your sincerity."

"I can let you go."

As soon as these words left his lips, both the saintess and the Three Treasures reacted with subtle changes in their expressions.

"All I ask is that you agree to one condition."

Looking at the impassive saint, Li Chen calmly said, "Continue cooperating with Li Yinhǔ."

The saint immediately understood Li Chen's meaning.

He is trying to get him to cooperate, so as to completely eliminate King Zhao.

The saint didn't agree right away. She said, "With this assassination attempt having failed, it remains to be seen if he will continue to cooperate with my church."

"Yes, he definitely will."

Li Chen said faintly: "Around him, besides you lot with your knives, what else is there The most impressive thing is that the inner court keeps a few more dead men. That's it. He has been hiding for many years, and even if he cultivates some people, they are only a small number. It's impossible to have a large scale. If one dies, one less. He would not be willing to act rashly."

"So to die, is also to let you die."

Li Chen's words left no room for sentiment, but they were all facts. The Saintess had no way to refute them.

“Agree, and you can leave.”

A flicker of emotion crossed the saint's face for the first time. She looked up at Li Chen and said, "You don't want to hear information about the White Lotus sect from me Such as where its headquarters are located, how many people are undercover in what capacities, and who the leader is"

"I asked, 'Can you speak' Li Chen asked back."

The saintess, upon hearing this, remained silent.

She struggled to her feet, gave Li Chen a long look, and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Li Chen suddenly called out to the saintess.

The saintess turned calmly to look at Li Chen, a coldness in her eyes mingled with disdain and mockery, "Regret it"

Li Chen raised his hand, his palm holding the veil he had just taken from her face.

"Things return to their rightful owners."

The saintess' eyes flashed, and she said, "It's dirty. I don't want it."

After finishing her words, the saintess took a light step forward. Her body, like a fleeting glimpse of the aurora, transformed into a white shadow and swiftly vanished above the Donggong buildings.

"Lift the lockdown order, please. The city was sealed on New Year's Eve, and now it's already New Year's Day. We should let the people of Beijing have a good New Year."

Li Chen's gaze shifted from the direction where the Saintess had disappeared, and he addressed the three treasures beside him nonchalantly.

The Three Treasures respectfully replied, he carefully asked: "Your Highness, should I follow her"

"No need."

Li Chen shook his head, stroking the light gauze in his hand, and said: "This kind of woman has the coldest and most arrogant temper. It's as difficult to win her favor as it is to ascend to heaven. But once she makes a decision and choice, she will never go back on her word easily."

"More importantly, you can't keep watching her. After all, there's no way to prevent theft if you're constantly on guard."

The Three Treasures hesitated and said, "But if she just runs away, the world is so vast, it would be difficult to catch her again."

"This is why I said she's smarter than you. She can run, can the White Lotus sect run With so many high-level experts from the White Lotus sect dead here, Li Yinhu would not just let it go Would the White Lotus sect as a whole just let it go Besides her being the only survivor, who else could be responsible for this"With a smile, Wu Qingcang said: "But there are some things that aren't about whether you're afraid or not. I know you're not afraid of death, but if you were to truly die, it would cause a lot of trou...
