In the battle on the Bridge of Helplessness, Chen Changsheng had defeated Xu Yourong, confirming his status as successor of the Orthodoxy.
But on that night, he had not gone to the Great Hall of Light, electing instead to eat stewed beef ribs with Xu Yourong on Fortune Peace Road.
The one to face countless shocked gazes and raise his hand to ask for leave for him had been Tang Thirty-Six.
The person who had lowered their head and received for him the Divine Staff that symbolized the Orthodoxy's authority was also Tang Thirty-Six.
Today, the person holding the Divine Staff to maintain the Li Palace's array and lock it on the person in that courtyard of snow was still Tang Thirty-Six.
This sort of pressure was truly too great. Even someone like Tang Thirty-Six was not willing to do it again.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and smiled, and then he turned his head back to the snowbound courtyard, his smile gradually fading.
Inviting the Prefects to White Emperor City was tantamount to moving the Li Palace's array here.
If the Demon Lord had attacked just now, he really did want to try and see if he could kill him.
Regrettably, but also perhaps fortunately, the Demon Lord had not moved.
Then based on the current situation, Madam Mu would no longer give them a chance like today's.
He and the Demon Lord might both be able to leave White Emperor City safely, then…
”There's a matter that I'm wondering if you can help me with.”
He was speaking to Tang Thirty-Six.
Surprised, Tang Thirty-Six asked, ”What matter?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”Help me write a few letters.”
Tang Thirty-Six was puzzled about why Chen Changsheng wanted help writing letters. A possibility immediately came to mind, causing his face to instantly turn lively. ”A love letter? Although your literary talents are far inferior to mine, why learn from foolish youths? Are you planning to write letters to Luoluo and are afraid that the Holy Maiden will see them?”
Chen Changsheng wanted to explain, but he ultimately just shook his head, appearing extremely helpless.
……
……
Tang Thirty-Six had only arrived at White Emperor City early this morning.
Because he had come in too much of a hurry with such a strict deadline, he did not bring too many subordinates from the Tang clan, only Fivekind Man.
The Fivekind Man that had appeared in Wenshui City several days ago.
In the conflict between Shang Xingzhou and Chen Changsheng, the Tang Old Master preferred the former, but in this major event involving the demons, his response was incredibly clear. He would provide anything that Chen Changsheng required.
The people from the Orthodoxy had also just arrived this morning.
Chen Changsheng had known of this matter the entire time, which is why he had scheduled his meeting with the Demon Lord for today.
The Tang Old Master had dispatched his strongest, as had the Li Palace. Their momentum could be described as vast and mighty.
The moment Hu Thirty-Two arrived with Chen Changsheng's decree, he and Daoist Siyuan left the same night from the Li Palace. On the way, they met up with Linghai Zhiwang and An Lin. Together with seven thousand Orthodoxy cavalry, they traveled due west from the Mount Song Army headquarters. After passing through the Cong Province Army headquarters, they were guided by the Bear tribe and stealthily entered the watershed of the Red River.
The seven thousand cavalry were currently ensconced deep in the mountains on the opposite shore. Although they could not affect the overall situation in the land of the demi-humans, they still brought an intimidating aura. As for the four archbishops and the Li Palace treasures they carried, they were a powerful force that no one could underestimate.
Of the Six Prefects of the Orthodoxy, Mu Jiushi had been exiled, Daoist Baishi had been executed, and Hu Thirty-Two had been added, leaving five.
Now, four of them had left the capital, coming to White Emperor City tens of thousands of li away.
