Chapter 713 Is this the old monster's shamelessness?
As the Emperor's seemingly earnest but actually arrogant words slowly echoed in the stagnant air of the hall, Lin Hanzhou's expression did not change noticeably.
He remained like an eternal ice sculpture, coldly gazing at the white-clad youth sitting there.
However, he was secretly cursing in his heart.
"Repeat the same mistakes? Go and try that immortal path?"
"Actually, there's no need for you to spout nonsense here. I would never set foot on that immortal path."
"Because no one knows better than me that it's a complete dead end!"
He had already walked that path once in his previous life, so how could he possibly walk that path that had already been proven to be a dead end again?
However, Lin Hanzhou's rapidly working mind quickly bypassed this superficial absurdity and keenly grasped the deeper logic hidden behind this matter.
Something's not right.
"This old monster has lived for over ten million years, his mind is as deep as an abyss. Today, he went to great lengths to sneak into my Yan Emperor Palace undetected. Could it really be just to act as my life mentor and give me a meaningless verbal warning?"
This is clearly illogical.
The other party is an unparalleled being who created the mythological era and ruled over the nine heavens and ten earths.
As the ancient ruler of the Heavenly Court, high above the clouds, if he truly did not want the current emperor to explore the path to immortality, he had hundreds and thousands of cruel but effective methods.
For ancient beings of this level, personally going to the dojo of a contemporary emperor and giving a verbal warning face-to-face is actually the least intimidating and least effective method.
"Since the warning was just a pretext, what is his real purpose in coming here today?"
A strong sense of curiosity and vigilance welled up in Lin Hanzhou's heart.
Instead of immediately exposing the other person's hypocrisy, he chose to go along with their words and continue to probe further.
He slightly raised his chin, his cold expression undiminished, and asked in a deep voice with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny.
"Your Majesty, since you keep saying that you kindly advised Emperor Hongyu back then..."
"Then I'm very curious, given Emperor Hongyu's unparalleled ambition in creating an era, how exactly did you 'advise' him not to go down that path of immortality?"
Upon hearing Lin Hanzhou's question, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to pause subtly for a moment.
The Emperor, seated on a sandalwood chair, slowly put down the celadon teacup in his hand.
The teacup struck the table with a crisp, melodious "ding".
He raised his head, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his chaotic eyes, which seemed to contain the initial state of the Big Bang.
Then, in an extremely calm tone, as if he were casually discussing a bowl of clear soup noodles he had the previous night, he replied in a detached manner:
"You mean this?"
The Emperor tilted his head slightly, a nonchalant smile curving his lips, his tone even carrying a hint of self-righteous innocence and reproach:
"Actually, it's not that complicated. When I found him, I just wanted to kill him and seize the origin of his rare innate Dao body."
"My original intention was to give him a quick death, so that he could return to the embrace of heaven and earth without pain."
"As a result, that guy didn't appreciate it at all and insisted on fighting back desperately. In the end, in order to escape my pursuit, he was like a stray dog, taking those two useless followers and plunging headlong into the immortal path he had created himself."
At this point, the Emperor even sighed softly. He looked at Lin Hanzhou, spread his hands, and asked in the tone of an elder who had suffered a great injustice:
"Emperor Yan, do you think Hongyu is being a bit too ungrateful?"
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
After the Emperor finished speaking, the main hall of the Yan Emperor Palace fell into a suffocating silence.
Lin Hanzhou's facial muscles trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.
His eyes widened slightly as he stared intently at the young man in white robes, exuding an otherworldly aura.
Hearing this outrageous answer, Lin Hanzhou really couldn't hold back.
"What the hell..."
He was truly shocked by the other party's unprecedented and unparalleled words.
He simply wanted to kill and rob, and cruelly deprive an emperor of his special physique and life essence. This most heinous and evil act in the cultivation world was described by this guy in front of him as so refreshing and so righteous!
Furthermore, the other party felt that Emperor Hongyu's resistance and escape were acts of ingratitude and ungratefulness!
"Is this the kind of shamelessness unique to an old monster that's lived for over ten million years?"
Lin Hanzhou gasped inwardly.
He finally understood why these ancient beings had been able to live for so long.
When a person treats life as worthless, tramples morality and bottom line underfoot, and can even construct a perfectly self-consistent "robber logic" deep in their heart, what in this world can restrain them?
In the eyes of the Emperor, all races in the universe, even the most powerful emperors, are nothing more than a kind of high-grade nourishment in his long life journey, a field of leeks that can be harvested at any time.
Along with this sense of absurdity arose a chilling feeling, like being doused with ice water in the dead of winter, and a sudden realization.
Lin Hanzhou finally confirmed the true purpose of the Emperor's uninvited visit today.
The other party wasn't there to kindly warn me against taking the path to immortality!
Combining the Emperor's earlier covetousness of the Great Emperor Hongyu's "Innate Dao Body," and recalling how the other party praised him upon entering the door for being able to advance the Dao of Thunder and Fire to an unprecedented level in less than ten thousand years...
The truth is about to be revealed!
This ancient monster, who has lived since the age of mythology, has his eye on my unparalleled and heaven-defying combat power. He's after my physique and origin!
He came here today because he wanted to repeat what he couldn't do to Emperor Hongyu back then!
Now that everything has been laid bare, and the other party's fangs have reached my throat, there's no point in saying anything more.
In the struggle for the Great Dao, in matters of life and death, only fists and blood can determine the victor!
Lin Hanzhou's eyes turned completely cold at that moment.
Within those once deep pupils, a cluster of raging purple lightning and a streak of crimson, sky-burning fire began to intertwine and swirl at a frenzied speed.
A power powerful enough to destroy the heavens and the earth and make all the myriad paths of the universe tremble erupted from his body.
