Chapter 2087: Long Time No See, Li Linfu! (1/2)
”That Wang Chong is far too troublesome. He knows of our existence and refuses to leave the capital. And those assassins we found are far too weak to cause much of a stir!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord sighed.
”If this domain does not fall, we can do nothing to him!”
The men in black were immensely powerful and had many experts in their ranks. In the past, even toppling an empire was as easy as flipping a hand. But now, they could do nothing to the Great Tang imperial household.
Genesis Supreme said nothing, his brow furrowing.
He naturally understood the current situation.
He had tried to force his way into the capital before, but at the final moment, his Grotto Heaven expert intuition told him to give up on the idea.
The Miniature Nine Provinces Domain was just as dangerous to Grotto Heaven realm experts!
Until the formation was broken, he did not dare to act recklessly.
The Tianfu Divine Lord glanced at Genesis Supreme and hesitantly said, ”Venerable One, why don't we… capture some of his stronger subordinates and women he's close to, take them out of the city, and force him to come out?”
Those useless soldiers would never break the formation. They would need to take risky actions to destroy the formation, and this period of activity had not been completely fruitless for the Tianfu Divine Lord.
While gathering information, he had discovered several women whom Wang Chong frequently interacted with.
The men in black might not have been able to break the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain or kill Wang Chong, but capturing a few ordinary women wouldn't be too difficult.
In the past, the Tianfu Divine Lord would have never said such a thing, but after failing several times against Wang Chong and even being heavily injured, he was completely humiliated. He was now willing to resort to any method possible to kill Wang Chong.
Buzz!
The Tianfu Divine Lord had barely finished speaking when his surroundings fell silent and the temperature plunged.
”Bastard thing! Have you already fallen to this level because of that mortal? As a god, you would use such lowly methods? If this news got out, would you not become a laughingstock?”
Genesis Supreme turned to the Tianfu Divine Lord and coldly glared.
As a Supreme, an aloof god who looked down on all living beings, Genesis Supreme was extremely arrogant. For the Tianfu Divine Lord to bring up this suggestion was a humiliation for Genesis Supreme, a questioning of his ability.
If a god lowered themselves to using such despicable methods against a mortal, how were they different from a mortal?
”In addition, do you think that brat didn't also think of this? Your people would be caught and dealt with long before they would have a chance to escape the capital,” Genesis Supreme coldly said.
The domain around the capital was like a giant abyss, and inside and outside were two completely different worlds. There probably didn't exist a single person who could kidnap one of Wang Chong's women in the capital. As for Wang Chong's subordinates, what did it matter how many they captured?
Would he really offer himself up for the sake of some subordinates?
The Tianfu Divine Lord blushed in shame.
”It was this subordinate's mistake!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord paused, then lowered his head and said, ”But, Venerable One, if this is the case, won't we be unable to obtain that object and complete the mission Heaven gave us? What do we do next?”
Genesis Supreme turned to the capital and coldly said, ”Wait!” His voice was tinged with a farsighted and wise aura.
”This god has a plan. There is no need for you to worry.”
His robes flapped in the wind, and his eyes were two deep pools of wisdom.
The Tianfu Divine Lord hesitated, but ultimately, he lowered his head and said no more.
……
Time flew by. Several days later, deep in the night…
Boom!
The southern gates of the capital rumbled open, allowing a plain and unremarkable carriage, with two lanterns hanging from it, to leave.
Not only was this carriage of simple design, the compartment was tightly wrapped up. It was obvious that the owner of the carriage did not want their face to be seen.
But no ordinary person could have ordered the City Guard to open the gates after their closing time.
It was clear that the owner of the carriage had some revered status.
Cough, cough! A tired cough came from inside the carriage. The compartment was lit by a single oil lamp, and the gloomy light shone upon a middle-aged man wearing an official's hat and dressed in casual robes. Although he seemed ordinary, the way he moved exuded a superior aura.
An old servant in the carriage bowed and respectfully said, ”Wise Minister, you are unwell. It's late, so why don't we return to the residence to rest?”
If Wang Chong had been present, he would have certainly started to see this middle-aged man and hear him referred to as 'Wise Minister'.
This man who was breaking the curfew to sneak out of the capital was none other than the man who had once dominated the court but who had now been squeezed out of the center of power after the rise of the new Emperor, Li Linfu.
And if there was any one person in the court who was still referred to as 'Wise Minister', it was Li Linfu.
