"It's worth it, Nether Emperor will be a very capable helper. An antique like him will definitely give us a pleasant surprise." Hua Ruge said.

Of course she did.

Young Master Wu Hen looked at her and said, "It's not just these right?"

"Alright, then another thing, Xia Xia instigating the Nether Emperor to restrict our development means that she is extremely fearful of us. After I subdue the Nether Emperor, she will become even more fearful of us, and this is the easiest time to make a move, but our strength is not enough yet." Hua Ruge continued.

The Young Master Wu Hen said with a dark face: "So you want to use yourself to attract their firepower and make them lower their guard?"

"Can you not be so serious?" Hua Ruge asked jokingly.

The Young Master Wu Hen stared at her, "Don't you think about your own safety?"

"Treat me very seriously at this moment, and don't tell me that I don't have any life-saving means?" Hua Ruge smiled as he adjusted the atmosphere.

"If I don't agree, Jun Tianxia will not agree either. You will have to give up." The Young Master Wu Hen said.

Hua Ruge propped up his chin and said: "Don't be so serious, this is just my guess, maybe I guessed wrong, maybe Xia Xia is really big of a mind."

"The Light God Palace is no longer in its prime, its power is not even a third of its peak, even if we start fighting openly, it might not be impossible." The Young Master Wu Hen tried to persuade her.

Hua Ruge faintly spat out two words, "What a plan."

"I can't let you go." Young Master Wu Hen was unyielding.

Hua Ruge's face was filled with helplessness. It was finally too late for Tuoba Rui to care about her, and now that one or two of them had come again, it was really not easy for him to be free once.

Xiao Jiu looked at his master, who had a gloomy expression, and pulled Hua Ruge's sleeves: "Ru Ge, just listen to him, we can't beat him."

Hua Ruge thought about it, and he really didn't have confidence. After all, the Young Master Wu Hen held the strongest Time Divine Ability, so holding onto her would not even last a minute.

"Alright, let's talk about this later." Hua Ruge did not insist, but neither did he give in.

Young Master Wu Hen knew her personality. Other than being a little softer in front of Tuoba Rui, she would usually have as many ideas as she wanted. She could not persuade him at all.

Of course, he did not continue speaking. It would not be too late to make a decision when the Light God Palace came to invite people.

As the two of them chatted, Huo Xi's Saintess Palace opened up a few days later.

Fire Phoenix walked out and said to the elders waiting outside the palace, "Elder Huo Yu, the Holy Maiden wishes to see you."

Huo Yu hurriedly followed him in.

Huo Xi sat on the high chair, looking tired.

Huo Yu saw the situation and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness. It was all your subordinate's incompetence."

"This is my duty." Huo Xi said, and then said: "I have been reflecting on myself for the past few days, and it seems like Thailand was still indecisive before."

Huo Yu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you have always been considering the general situation and accumulating the power of faith for the gods. There isn't the slightest fault."

"If we had killed a few leaders of the western border half a year ago, the current situation would have been completely different. Even the great battle with Temple of Water could have been avoided. Huo Xi sighed.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were not as fierce as before. Instead, they were weary and listless, without the slightest hint of sharpness.

"Your Highness, how could you say that? After all, no one would have thought that the situation would develop to this day." Huo Yu advised.

Huo Xi sighed again, and did not speak for a long time.

Huo Yu didn't dare to speak and could only wait below.

After a while, Huo Xi said: "Since it's like this, the Four Territories have fallen into their hands, if they start a war, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"What does Your Highness mean?" Huo Yu asked.

Only now did he realize that the Holy Maiden's thoughts were not different from his own.

"Since we can't start a war openly, we should take their lifeline." As Huo Xi spoke, his gaze became sharp and fierce. He swept his gaze to Fireplume who was below him and said, "Bring Hua Ruge back to see me."

Huo Yu didn't understand, so she asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

"Jun Tianxia and the Young Master Wu Hen are related to Hua Ruge, as long as she is in our hands, they won't be able to do anything." Huo Xi said.

"Your highness means to control Hua Ruge as our hostage?" Huo Yu asked.

Huo Xi looked at him and spoke indifferently: "Isn't that good?"

Huo Yu thought about it for a moment, then laughed, "Your Highness' move is really brilliant. With Hua Ruge in our hands, we aren't afraid of them doing anything."

"This is only the first step." Huo Xi then squinted his eyes: "Once we completely control Hua Ruge, we will be able to nibble away those two people. I think they wouldn't dare to resist."

Huo Yu's eyes lit up. "Holy Maiden is wise."

"Isn't she afraid of the heavens and the earth? I shall let her have a good look at the collapsed nature of the foundation she has built. " Huo Xi said as he smiled.

"But Your Highness, so what if she doesn't come?" Huo Yu asked.

Huo Xi said indifferently: "Tell her how our Holy Son is doing, and let her come up with an idea."

"Holy Maiden, your subordinate will go right away." As Huo Yu spoke, she left the palace.

After he left, Huo Xi leaned against the chair, and looked towards the blue sky outside the palace. His expression was a little erratic, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.

Below, Hua Ruge had just finished conversing with Young Master Wu Hen and was preparing to return to his own courtyard when a red light suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Senior Huo Yu, what wind brought you here? Please take a seat." Hua Ruge smiled as he walked up to greet her.

Young Master Wu Hen's face did not look good.

Huo Yu also chuckled. "It's like this, the Holy Maiden asked me to invite State Advisor to the divine hall for a chat."

"Why do I have to trouble you to come over personally for this kind of thing? Why not just send someone with a message?" Hua Ruge said as he made tea with a maid at the side.

Seeing Hua Ruge not caring in the least, Huo Yu was startled.

Based on his assumption, shouldn't the current Hua Ruge be panicking? Even if they didn't panic, they should be nervous. Why did it seem like nothing happened? From the looks of it, it seemed like it was an honor.

In this situation, as long as one wasn't a fool, one would know that this was the Hong Gate banquet.

Compared to second brother being kind, Young Master Wu Hen was much more direct. He slightly nodded his head and said: "Junior Wu Hen greets senior."

"So it's the famous Young Master Wu Hen, this old man is blind." Huo Yu looked at Young Master Wu Hen. With just a glance, she seemed to be wary of him.

This person could tell at a glance that he was a powerful character.

Young Master Wu Hen replied before continuing, "Currently, Ruge has not fully recovered from his injuries. He still needs to recuperate in the palace for a period of time, so I'm afraid that he will need to ask the Holy Maiden to wait."

Hua Ruge did not say anything after hearing what he said.

If she didn't want to go, she could finish her plan to delay things, but she didn't want to go either.0
