In response to the question posed by Jellyfish Yin Ji, the mid-stage Heavenly Human Realm warrior frankly replied, "The two of us are not strong enough. With Senior Ling not here, it would be difficult for the two of us to deal with Meng Chixing. Why should we sacrifice ourselves for others?"

Hearing what the other party said, Qu Feiyan and the others frowned and looked at the two Celestial Realm warriors from the Great Song Dynasty with disdain in their eyes.

Noticing the disdain in Qu Feiyan and the other women's eyes, the two martial artists at the Celestial Realm showed no discomfort whatsoever, but rather appeared completely at ease.

It's as if there's nothing wrong with such behavior.

After glancing at the two people opposite him for a moment, Chu Qinghe chuckled to himself.

Then, looking at the early-stage Heavenly Human Realm martial artist, he asked, "Besides Meng Chixing and us, how many other people have you mentioned this matter to?"

The martial artist at the mid-stage of the Human Realm replied, "Besides Meng Chixing and the young master, only His Majesty knows."

"The emperor?"

After muttering to himself, Chu Qinghe frowned slightly, as if something had occurred to him.

After a short while, Chu Qinghe collected his thoughts, shook his head, and said to the two people opposite him, "Thank you for your guidance, seniors. The night is getting cooler, so I will not disturb you any longer."

Upon hearing what Chu Qinghe said, the two people opposite him were stunned for a moment, as if they hadn't expected Chu Qinghe to leave so soon.

But after realizing what was happening, both of them were overjoyed and quickly cupped their hands and bowed slightly in acknowledgment.

Let's go!

After speaking to the women, Chu Qinghe circulated his true energy and slowly flew away into the distance.

Seeing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing and several other women followed suit.

Only after Chu Qinghe and the others had completely left did the two Celestial Realm warriors finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The early-stage Heavenly Human Realm warrior said with lingering fear, "That person was only at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster Realm, yet he was able to lock onto the two of us with just his aura. He seemed even more terrifying than Meng Chixing. When did such a figure appear in the world?"

Upon hearing this, another person next to him shook his head and said, "I don't know, but we should still be careful from now on. With Ling Donglai gone, the Song Dynasty's imperial palace is probably not as easy to stay in as before."

Upon hearing this, the martial artist at the early stage of the Heavenly Human Realm also sighed inwardly.

A moment later, when the group came out of the palace and started walking on the street, Qu Feiyan spoke up: "I didn't expect that the Celestial Realm experts of the Great Song Dynasty would be so selfish. They are far inferior to the Celestial Realm warriors in the palace of the Great Ming Dynasty."

Previously, when the Azure Dragon Society was secretly paving the way for Zhu Wushi during the attack on the palace, the several martial artists at the Celestial Realm level in the Ming Dynasty were attacked and all showed great fearlessness and regarded the Zhengde Emperor with great respect.

Even Zhu Wushi took advantage of this to ambush a master of the Celestial Realm.

These two Celestial Realm martial artists in the Song Dynasty palace, despite being inside the palace, only thought about protecting themselves when they encountered danger.

The difference between the two is enormous.

In response, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "There are a thousand kinds of people. Fear of life and death is a natural human emotion. The difference in how people act in the face of events is simply a matter of how much they value something. For those two just now, the Song Dynasty obviously doesn't hold much weight in their hearts."

Finally, Chu Qinghe changed the subject, saying, "But this is good too. At least after Dongfang and Yaoyue enter the Great Song Kingdom, they will have at least two more subordinates at the Celestial Realm level."

Shuimu Yinji looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "You want to recruit them both to your own use?"

Chu Qinghe nodded casually and said, "If these people were as loyal to the court as those few martial artists at the Celestial Realm in the Great Ming Dynasty, they would be harder to use. But people who have no ambition in their hearts are easier to control."

"They are, after all, two martial artists at the Celestial Realm. If they are controlled properly, they can play a significant role."

Beside her, Lianxing spoke up: "Originally, at the Northern Shaolin Temple, after hearing what Meng Chixing said, I thought Ling Donglai was dead, but it turns out that Ling Donglai ran away with someone."

After thinking for a while, Shui Mu Yin Ji said, "According to what the early-stage Heavenly Human Realm martial artist in the palace just said, when Ling Donglai talked with the late-stage Heavenly Human Realm martial artist who entered the palace a month ago, they mentioned breakthroughs and cultivation. Combined with what Meng Chixing said before, about the problem you discovered in the power of heaven and earth in Qinghe, it is very likely that Ling Donglai is also stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, where the three flowers of heaven, earth, and man are difficult to combine into one."

"Could it be that the masked late-stage Celestial Realm martial artist used this to persuade Ling Donglai to leave the palace voluntarily?"

Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "At present, it seems very likely."

For anyone, the things they seek in life are nothing more than a few things.

Especially proud people like Ling Donglai and Meng Chixing, who seek the pinnacle of martial arts and strive to reach even higher realms.

Naturally, for someone like Ling Donglai, there is nothing more painful than having already condensed the three flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and seeing that the three have merged into one to form the martial arts golden core, yet being unable to take that final step.

This is like Tian Boguang seeing a stunningly beautiful woman, and just when everything is ready, he discovers that this beauty has not only suffered from menstruation but also has a skin disease.

It was so frustrating and infuriating.

Therefore, if there really were a way to enter the Divine Seat Realm, it would be hard for someone like Ling Donglai to resist such a temptation, and it would be perfectly normal for him to be lured away.

After confirming that Chu Qinghe's reasoning was the same as her own, Shuimu Yinji said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then in this world, besides you, Qinghe, is there anyone else who has a way to help a martial artist at the peak of the Celestial Realm break through to the Divine Seat Realm?"
