C1323 Borrowing a knife to kill someone
In Beiming Lun's opinion, Li Zixiong was an old cunning fox who couldn't benefit from anything, and what was even more terrifying was that this old cunning fox, Li Zixiong, would always give people a harmless look.
Even though they had come into contact a few times in Jiangnan, Beiming Lun and Li Zixiong had also come into contact with each other already. However, the Beiming Lun at that time and the Beiming Lun now could not be considered the same.
After all, at that time when Beiming Lun was a true Crown Prince of Of the East Sea, he had countless elite ronin Swordsmen and Ninjas under his command, and adding that he himself had an extraordinary cultivation, the relationship between him and Li Zixiong was at least equal, and could even suppress Li Zixiong.
But now, Beiming Lun's situation was completely different from before. After the battle at the Great Rock Valley, Beiming Lun and Hattori Jiro's cultivation had been sealed, and their subordinate ronin Swordsmen and Ninjas had all been lost. The current Beiming Lun could be considered to be alone, he no longer had the qualifications to negotiate with Li Zixiong.
Furthermore, Li Zixiong said that he was saving Beiming Lun from the hands of Yang Jun and the rest, but in reality, they were only imprisoning Beiming Lun in a disguised manner.
As such, Beiming Lun's heart was in disarray. He wished that he could leave immediately and return to the East Ocean Continent.
The corner of his mouth revealed a slight smile, and slowly said: "What this old man wants is very simple. Even His Highness the crown prince can take it out immediately, but that depends on whether or not you are willing to part with it!"
"Let the Chief Of The Li Family be straightforward, I will listen!"
Li Zixiong laughed sinisterly: "Since that's the case, then this old man will not be courteous. What I want from His Highness the crown prince is not just a bystander, it's just a head! "
Hearing Li Zixiong's words, Beiming Lun's entire being trembled, he looked at Li Zixiong with eyes that were like sharp swords shining with a cold light.
With a light snort, Beiming Lun said: "Is Chief Of The Li Family trying to take my life?"
Li Zixiong hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, don't misunderstand. This old man does not want Your Highness' head, of course this old man would not have that kind of courage either!"
"Then whose head does Chief Of The Li Family want?"
Li Zixiong laughed out loud. "This time, I just want to borrow the head of's comrade, His Highness the Crown Prince, for a bit!"
"Hmm?" Beiming Lun squinted, and revealed a surprised expression.
Beiming Lun had never thought that Li Zixiong's plan would actually fall into Hattori Jiro's hands. Although Beiming Lun did not really care about the Saint Ninja of the Eastern Ocean Continent, Beiming Lun was still curious as to what Li Zixiong was actually planning to do.
With a gloomy face, Beiming Lun said: "Does Chief Of The Li Family know that Hattori Jiro is the leader of our Eastern Ocean Saint Ninja? You actually want to borrow his head? What is Chief Of The Li Family trying to do?"
Li Zixiong said coldly, "Your Highness, you are overthinking it. "If it wasn't for the fact that he is a Saint Ninja of the East Ocean Continent and is extremely prestigious among the Ninjas of the East Ocean Continent, I wouldn't have even bothered to look into his eyes."
Hearing Li Zixiong's words, Beiming Lun became even more doubtful.
"Why do you think I don't understand what you mean, Chief Of The Li Family?"
Li Zixiong chuckled, "Your Highness, don't worry. If you listen to this old man's story, perhaps you will understand."
After pausing for a moment, Li Zixiong continued, "Your Highness the crown prince has fought against the Blue Sword many times already, so you should be aware that Qin Chuan is currently leading the entire Blue Sword around Jiangnan!"
"Of course, of course I know about it!" Whenever Qin Chuan and his Blue Sword were mentioned, he would grind his teeth in anger.
However, Li Zixiong's expression still did not change as he asked, "Then does Your Highness know why Blue Sword is still in Jiangnan today?"
"This …" Beiming Lun was speechless from Li Zixiong's question.
Beiming Lun thought that Qin Chuan and the others should be here for his laboratory, but after the battle at the Big Rock Valley, the laboratory that he had poured his countless blood and sweat into was completely destroyed. Logically, Qin Chuan should have already called for the withdrawal of troops, why would he stay in Jiangnan, Beiming Lun did not know.
"Actually, dealing with His Highness the crown prince is just a pretense. Qin Chuan and Blue Sword are actually heading south with the aim of uprooting the eight great clans of Jiangnan!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing? But I heard that the Venerable Class in the east is deeply rooted, and is it something that can be pulled out just because a small Blue Sword is needed? "
"Blue Sword is naturally not enough, but this time, Qin Chuan's actions have the support of Capital Tower, furthermore, the capital has changed into a Sect Leader, and we can no longer fear the Jiangnan Sect, which is why Qin Chuan dared to act so boldly."
Listening to Li Zixiong's words, Beiming Lun first nodded his head, then said in a puzzled manner, "What Chief Of The Li Family said does indeed make some sense, but I still don't understand. What does the conflict between Qin Chuan and your eight great clans have to do with Lord Sheng Nu?"
"Of course it's related. The eight great clans are already so ethereal, and if Qin Chuan were to destroy each and every one of them, then it wouldn't be long before the eight great clans of Jiangnan turned into dust. At this critical juncture, if the news of the Eastern Ocean Saint Ninja Hattori Jiro's death was sent back to the East Ocean Continent, Your Highness, what do you think will happen next? "0
Hearing Li Zixiong's words, Beiming Lun's handsome face became ugly.
At that moment, even a fool would know what Li Zixiong wanted to do.
What status did Hattori Jiro have? He was the leader of the Spirit Demons of the East Ocean Continent, and once the news of his death reached the East Ocean Continent, both Jia He and Yi He would definitely not be able to hold back. They would attack Qin Chuan together, hoping to avenge their Lord Sheng Nu.
If they came to the east in groups, Qin Chuan would probably be too busy to take care of himself, and wouldn't even have the mood to bother with Li Zixiong and the others.
Narrowing his eyes, Beiming Lun snorted in disdain: "Chief Of The Li Family is really good at scheming, using a borrowed knife to kill someone is not a bad idea!"
Li Zixiong laughed happily: "In that case, Your Highness has agreed to it!"
Beiming Lun sneered incessantly, "What if I don't agree to Chief Of The Li Family's request? Don't tell me that Chief Of The Li Family is going to kill him along with me!"
"I won't. His Highness the Crown Prince is joking." No matter what, I am on good terms with the Crown Prince. I would never do something so shameless. "However …" Li Zixiong changed the subject as he spoke: "However, if His Highness the crown prince does not agree to this old man's request, then this old man will have to go all out against Qin Chuan. At that time, this old man will not be able to guarantee the safety of his highness the crown prince will be able to. If anything happens to the Crown Prince, this old man will not take responsibility! "
Hearing Li Zixiong's rogue words, Beiming Lun became sullen, he pointed at Li Zixiong and said: "You …."
Li Zixiong, however, hurriedly stood up and smiled, as if he had made up his mind. "Your Highness, no need to rush to answer this old man, there's still some time. After Your Highness has thought it through, this old man will come and disturb you!"
With that, Li Zixiong turned and left, his face filled with an arrogant smile.
