"Prince Yong, don't waste your breath!"
Li Wuxiang stared coldly at the Fourth Prince, "If such a simple scheme to sow discord were effective, the sect wouldn't have sent me here!"
"Perhaps you are right!"
The Fourth Prince smiled and said, "But, is a genius like you really willing to die like this? If your meridians could be restored and your cultivation could be restored, would you still so calmly choose to die so generously?"
Cultivators all dream of ascending to immortality.
As a genius disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect, Li Wuxiang's destiny would never have been in the mortal realm if his cultivation hadn't gone awry. But now, he's a cripple.
"Prince Yong, in this world, nothing is more meaningless than 'if' or 'whatever'."
"Is it really meaningless?"
The Fourth Prince chuckled and said, "The maidservant by my wife's side once had all her meridians severed and her cultivation completely ruined. But now, she has not only restored her meridians and cultivation, but her aptitude has also improved."
"These things aren't really secrets!"
The Fourth Prince was referring to the magpie.
Back then, the magpie repaired its own meridian defects and quickly established its foundation. Emperor Kangxi then wanted to bestow the magpie upon the Fourth Prince as a secondary consort, but the magpie refused on the spot.
Enraged by this, Emperor Kangxi had the magpie banned.
However, Rong Xi managed to rescue the magpie.
Many people witnessed these events. Although they didn't know how the magpie recovered, many saw the magpie being crippled and almost dying.
If the Free and Unfettered Sect puts in the effort to investigate, they will eventually find some clues.
"Most importantly, I have no reason to lie to you!"
"After all, right now you're just a piece of junk, good for nothing!"
"The Free and Unfettered Sect used you to scheme against me. Haven't you heard the saying that in the face of absolute power, any hidden scheme is utterly ineffective?"
The Fourth Prince still lacks absolute strength. However, the Qiongqi and Taotie by Rong Xi's side represent absolute power in this mortal realm, capable of suppressing all enemies.
What exactly do you want to do?
Li Wuxiang stared intently at the Fourth Prince. "Since you know I'm already a useless person, then you should understand that there's no need for you to tell me these things. I am a useless person, and whether I like it or not, the sect sent me here, so I can't refuse."
You can refuse!
The Fourth Prince smiled faintly. From Li Wuxiang's words, he was certain that Li Wuxiang's mind had changed and he was no longer as fearless as before.
For a cultivator to reach the pinnacle of cultivation, they need to undergo many trials and tribulations.
Any unexpected event or hardship can be seen as a form of training.
Li Wuxiang originally felt that he had no hope left, so he wanted to use his death to gain a final boost for the people he cared about.
But now that he knows he might recover, how can he still be as fearless as before?
"You still want me to betray the sect?"
"What's wrong with betraying such a sect?"
The Fourth Prince sneered, "Even the emperor wouldn't send someone to die for no reason. You tell me, isn't that right?"
Although Li Wuxiang was crippled, he was still a former inner disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect and knew many things about the sect. Furthermore, Li Wuxiang was in charge of establishing Xiaoyaofang in the small town of Zichuan, which could be considered a heavy responsibility.
Turning Li Wuxiang to the side was a heavy blow to the Xiaoyao Sect.
This is a strategic blow, a morale-dampening attack!
"If Prince Yong can really help me recover, Li Wuxiang is willing to be the prince's lackey."
Li Wuxiang hesitated only for a moment before giving his answer.
Cultivators do everything in order to improve their realm, so that one day they can ascend to the upper realm and become a carefree immortal.
Sect?
position?
It's all for the sake of spiritual practice.
If a sect cannot provide the necessary support for one's cultivation, then it is better to do without that sect.
Li Wuxiang is very realistic.
When he had no other choice, he was willing to die for the Free and Unfettered Sect.
But given the choice, he could abandon the Free and Unfettered Sect without any pressure. As for the people he cared about? As long as his cultivation was strong enough that he couldn't stay in the Free and Unfettered Sect, he could find a new backer.
Regardless of the specific factor, the ultimate deciding factor is always the same: cultivation level and strength.
"Li Wuxiang, you seem to have misunderstood something!"
The Fourth Prince stared coldly at Li Wuxiang, "You are not qualified to bargain with me now. I disdain to deceive you, but you must first prove your worth!"
"I can heal you, but the question is, what did you do to warrant my intervention?"
After the Fourth Prince spoke, Li Wuxiang was caught in a dilemma.
Such a genius in cultivation was actually quite intelligent. He understood these things himself without the Fourth Prince needing to explain. However, he always clung to a sliver of hope.
Now, that stroke of luck has been shattered.
He faced a choice that could lead to a bright future or plunge him into despair.
Choice is very important!
To take this gamble, or not to?
Li Wuxiang was conflicted!
"Think it over carefully yourself. By the time I return, you'd better have made up your mind!"
"This is a one-time opportunity!"
The Fourth Prince wanted to win over Li Wuxiang, but he wouldn't lower himself for it. He had to maintain his principles. Winning over talent was essential, but everything required the right approach.
"Your humble servant Li Wuxiang pays respects to Your Highness!"
Since betraying the Free and Unfettered Sect is inevitable, it must be done as soon as possible. Only in this way can one leave a good impression.
"good!"
The Fourth Prince smiled smugly, turned to look at Su Peisheng beside him, and said, "In the future, you will know that your choice was the wisest one ever!"
By turning Li Wuxiang to the side, the Fourth Prince's plan was half successful.
His plan against the Free and Unfettered Sect was a do-or-die scheme. If it failed, everything he had would be gone. He would either become a wandering cultivator or return to the capital and become a hapless prisoner.
Confined?
If it really comes to that, he would rather become a wandering, unaffiliated cultivator.
However, he has already succeeded in the most crucial step of his scheme, and everything else will fall into place naturally. Once the plan succeeds, he will give the imperial court and the Xiaoyao Sect an absolute shock!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Wuxiang respectfully bowed to the Fourth Prince before leaving with Su Peisheng.
"Return to the manor!"
Having won over Li Wuxiang and successfully completed the first step of his plan, the Fourth Prince was truly overjoyed. Naturally, he had to return and share this happy occasion with his wife.
