980: Chapter 341: The Roc Has Extreme Speed, No Need to Worry_3 980: Chapter 341: The Roc Has Extreme Speed, No Need to Worry_3 Calamity Venerable liked to deploy interlocking strategies.

And now, what he was doing was also an interlocking strategy.

The attack on Xuanyuan Palace by the Western Continent was not only to affirm the Human Race’s hatred towards the Roc Bird and Daoist Luya as well as their supportive powers behind the scenes, but also to focus the attention of these forces in the world on the primary celestial realm.

Would Emperor Jun be resurrected?

Calamity Venerable himself didn’t know, but when he later discussed with Daoist Luya, he learned that the ancient Heavenly Dao was still in operation, and within it perhaps laid the remnant soul of Emperor Jun.

Thus, no matter if the surprise attack on Xuanyuan Palace could strike at many Human Race forces, as long as his plans on the periphery could move forward smoothly, it would all be worth it.

‘I wonder how Heavenly Dao will disrupt my schemes.’

‘Contending with Heavenly Dao, even being extremely cautious is not enough.’

Calamity Venerable smiled smugly, followed by mutterings to himself.

The Roc Bird wouldn’t be foolish enough to attempt assassinating the Heavenly Emperor single-handedly, right?

‘He has extreme speed, he can come and go as he pleases, there’s no need to worry.’

…

In the Misty Realm.

Li Ping’an had just returned to the Heavenly Emperor’s sleeping chamber, only to see Ningning Mu coming out to greet him.

Although they had been apart for only two months, both missed each other greatly.

In the bright daylight, Ningning Mu intended only to embrace Li Ping’an and share heartfelt words, but unexpectedly the Heavenly Emperor suddenly made a move, sweeping her into his arms and took her deep into the bedchamber, activating layers of Formations.

By dusk, the two lay in each other’s arms for a brief rest on the precious couch.

Ningning Mu was somewhat sleepy, yet still circulated dual cultivation techniques to seize the opportunity to enhance her own cultivation.

In a soft voice, she said, “Earlier, father sent someone to deliver a message, saying that you’ve been wronged in the primary celestial realm and told me to comfort you.

But looking at you now, you don’t seem aggrieved at all.”

Li Ping’an was speechless.

Such news had reached him because his father must have used a precious communication Jade Talisman.

His father was truly extravagant.

“It could be that father thought I was wronged, but actually, I’m fine.”

Li Ping’an briefly mentioned the incident of the Right Assistant conspiring with Calamity Venerable to assassinate him.

Ningning Mu listened quietly in his embrace, her eyes showing a touch of helplessness as she gently said, “There’s nothing that can be done about such matters unless you promise those loyal to the Yellow Emperor—the same they have now you can offer them later, but what would be the point of establishing the Heavenly Court then?”

“Oh?”

Li Ping’an showed more curiosity in his eyes and smiled, “My lady has such insights.

Good, then what do you think we should do?”

Ningning Mu made a grimace, “I won’t say.”

“Why not?”

“If I spoke up, it would just result in you finding me another sister or even an elder sister.”

She rolled her eyes and huffed, “I may not be a wise woman, but I’m not foolish either.

“Some time ago, Zi Yao Xianzi visited me several times, each time bringing gifts, even agreeing to privately call me sister in the future…

Isn’t that what you agreed upon with her?”

Li Ping’an quickly said, “Heaven can testify, I definitely didn’t say such a thing!

She actually has such schemes—I will certainly reprimand her to vent for you.”

“Hmph, who would believe you!”

Ningning Mu turned her back to him and pouted sullenly for a while before finally saying,

“The best solution I can think of here is for you to form a marriage alliance with the Yellow Emperor, using the status of the Yellow Emperor’s son-in-law to appease those old Human Race officials so they don’t form a resistance.”

“Ah…”

Li Ping’an sighed, “I really don’t want to trade personal affairs for major matters of the world.”

“But logically speaking, major world affairs should indeed take precedence over personal matters.”

Ningning Mu turned her head to look at him, her eyes brimming with tears.

“I can’t represent the Human Race’s interests in the Heavenly Court, I can only represent my own liking for you…

To follow you, I’ve almost lost myself…”

Li Ping’an could only hold her tight, lost for appropriate soothing words.

After patiently comforting her for a while,

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “Wait until the Heavenly Court is stable, I’ll take you to perform acts of chivalry.”

“Hmph, we’ll see, this immortal lady might be too busy to bother with you by then.”

“Oh, of course, it will all depend on your schedule, ma’am.”

Li Ping’an smiled with narrowed eyes, but deep down he sighed to himself, feeling he owed the lady in his arms a lot, yet clueless on how to make amends.

Outside the sleeping chamber.

Luo Xuejing and Wang Shan landed one after the other, bowing their heads as they waited.

There was already an outcome from the interrogation of the Roc Bird.
