Chapter 2091: Connection! Flash of Insight! (1/2)
”Better to be safe than sorry. We can't be careless on this matter!”
Wang Chong's face turned grim along with the topic of conversation.
”Mm.”
Seeing Wang Chong turn serious, Xu Qiqin also withdrew her smile.
”Is that Genesis Supreme really so frightening? You really think he can break the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain left by the Sage Emperor?”
”A constant refrain is certain to return an echo. There must be a reason Genesis Supreme has lingered on the outskirts, and those tricks being played in the palace are far too vulgar. Genesis Supreme should understand that they won't be able to break the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain.
”He knows that they won't be effective, but he persists. He must be holding something back,” Wang Chong said.
He would never underestimate his foes, and Genesis Supreme was simply too strong. The consequences of the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain breaking were unimaginable.
With this powerful foe present, he always felt like he was walking on thin ice, and he couldn't help but be cautious.
Xu Qiqin turned pensive, and the tea house fell silent.
”Qiqin, if you were Genesis Supreme, what would you do?” Wang Chong suddenly said.
It was just an offhand question from Wang Chong. After all, while Xu Qiqin was the Queen of Logistics, intelligent and graceful, she was no powerful martial artist. She would not be able to offer much of an opinion here.
But to Wang Chong's surprise, Xu Qiqin really gave an answer.
”This!”
After a moment of surprise, Xu Qiqin really began to ponder the question.
”I don't understand this whole thing that much, but you said before that the core of the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain was the Three Emperors Formation beneath Taiji Palace. If there's no way of breaking the formation externally, the best way would be to find someone to break the formation from the inside. This person would have to be strong and familiar with the layout of the palace. This is the only way they could get close to the Three Emperors Formation without being discovered.”
Xu Qiqin lowered her head, a contemplative look on her face.
”The number of people who can get close to the Three Emperors Formation isn't a lot. I suppose palace maids, eunuchs, and Imperial Army soldiers could barely manage it. I presume this is why they've been sending so many disguised eunuchs and maids there recently. But Taiji Palace is guarded by the Dragon Guards. It doesn't matter how many maids or eunuchs they bribe; it will be very hard for them to succeed.
”And Genesis Supreme and his subordinates can't enter the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain, so they are at an impasse.”
It would be very hard for these lowly and inferior tricks to succeed.
”There is one other method. They can find someone of similar strength to you, much stronger than the Dragon Guards, and have that person force their way into Taiji Palace to break the formation,” Xu Qiqin suggested.
”Impossible. If there were this sort of person, they would have succeeded long ago.”
Wang Chong shook his head and smiled.
Wang Chong was at the peak of the Subtle realm, infinitesimally close to the Grotto Heaven realm.
The men in black had existed for many ages and had many experts. It would be easy to find an expert amongst their ranks who was Wang Chong's equal or better, but such a character was incredibly difficult to find in the entire realm, let alone the capital.
The Subtle realm was not that easy to reach.
Anyone who could have reached this realm would have become famous long ago.
”Then there's only one method left: to find someone who can control the formation and have him destroy it,” Xu Qiqin said.
”Impossible. The formation is under my control!”
Wang Chong shook his head. Xu Qiqin was smart, but she lacked in cultivation. He had asked her a question beyond her abilities.
He hadn't been thinking clearly.
But to his surprise, Xu Qiqin firmly shook her head. ”That's not for certain!
”You only control the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain, not the Three Emperors Formation. Did you forget who built the Three Emperors Formation?!”
Xu Qiqin's words struck Wang Chong like a bolt of lightning, and he shivered as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over him.
Xu Qiqin was right. Wang Chong had inadvertently forgotten that he only controlled the Miniature Nine Provinces Domain. He had never controlled the Three Emperors Formation beneath Taiji Palace.
The Three Emperors Formation was of vital importance, and it had been passed down through successive Sons of Heaven, an exclusive privilege of the imperial household.
With the Sage Emperor's death, the controller of the Three Emperors Formation was naturally Li Heng.
Besides the Son of Heaven, there was one other person who could control the Three Emperors Formation: the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince was the heir apparent, the future Son of Heaven. The possibility of the Emperor leaking the existence of the Three Emperors Formation ahead of time could not be ruled out.
Li Heng would never give the Three Emperors Formation to the men in black, so the men in black should have had no way of accessing it, but that was not a guarantee.
”Li Xuantu!”
Suddenly, Wang Chong had a flash of insight, and his body trembled in immense shock.
Li Linfu!
Genesis Supreme!
Wang Chong's face instantly turned grave.
He had initially come to see Xu Qiqin and chat with her, never imagining that Xu Qiqin's insight would lead him to an unexpected discovery.
