Chapter 2197 Xie Wanzhi's Thoughts (Subscription Request)

Lingwu City, West City, Anfang, Mingguang Road.

The streets are wide, clean and tidy, with people coming and going, and the shops lined up like an unfolding scroll, bringing people into such a prosperous, wealthy and vibrant world.

Lingwu City is definitely one of the top three most powerful cities in the north. It is prosperous, wealthy, and rich in resources. It is incomparable to ordinary places.

Xie Wanzhi was wearing a navy blue robe, with a long sword hanging around his waist, and dressed like an ordinary martial artist. He was walking along Mingguang Road, sometimes drinking in restaurants, sometimes tasting tea in teahouses, and sometimes visiting brothels. He was very busy and having a great time.

To anyone, he was just an unknown person with dreams but limited strength. No one could have imagined that he was actually a grandmaster with martial arts skills and one of the top strong men at that time.

He has been in Lingwu City for two days. He has not been to the Meng family. He has just been wandering around the city, observing and searching for information.

On Mingguang Road, in a restaurant with three floors that is extremely luxuriously decorated, in the east corner of the first floor lobby, there is a storyteller who is eloquently and passionately performing a breathtaking battle.

The protagonists of this battle are Meng Zhao, whose reputation in the martial arts world has now reached the pinnacle, and the Lord of the Demon Palace who was said to have suffered a mutual loss with him.

He is worthy of being a storyteller who only performs in a big restaurant. His voice is sonorous, cadenced and very infectious. He describes this battle in a dramatic, heart-wrenching and wonderful way.

In this restaurant, on the three floors, many guests were listening to the storyteller's imaginative narration of the battle, while discussing related details with their friends, and some were bragging and chatting.

Xie Wanzhi had seen similar scenes more than once. Even in the brothel, inside the daughter's incense, there were people chattering about it.

He had a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the influence of this battle between Meng Zhao and the Lord of the Demon Palace.

It can be said that this is the most discussed and hottest event in Lingwu City and the surrounding areas. It is also related to Meng Zhao’s powerful power and influence in Lingwu City.

Instead of just gathering information from the gossips of these martial artists, Xie Wanzhi actually went secretly to the Yangwu camp to spy on the inside story. The result was shocking.

He cultivated martial arts to the level of a grandmaster, with unparalleled magical powers. However, when he approached the military camp, he felt waves of discomfort and oppression that seeped into his soul. This was enough to show that the Yangwu army, a group of ants, could really pose a threat to him.

Xie Wanzhi did not stop and continued walking, observing the entire Lingwu City from his own perspective, trying to figure out the context. Eventually, he discovered a very horrifying fact, that is, Lingwu City only knew Meng Zhao but not the Great Emperor.

To put it bluntly, in Lingwu City and even in terms of influence in the surrounding areas, Meng Zhao is the undisputed king and overlord. From the top leaders to the common people, from martial arts to people's livelihood, all aspects have been infiltrated.

"This person has other intentions!"

This is Xie Wanzhi's greatest understanding of Meng Zhao after he put aside all filters and rumors.

It’s not that you can’t have such influence, but once you have such influence, you are destined to be on the opposite side of the Beitang royal family, and you will only have two paths in the future.

First, serve the Beitang royal family obediently as a dog. Perhaps the Beitang royal family can tolerate such a thing and will definitely impose restrictions.

The second is to break with the Beitang royal family and eventually separate into Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao.

To put it bluntly, he was born into a rich family and was well aware of Meng Zhao's threats, the hidden dangers this threat brought, and the consequences he had to deal with. In addition, Xie Wanzhi also thoroughly investigated and understood the many bloody incidents that had occurred recently at the junction of the three states.

This proves that some of what Meng Zhao said through Lu Le may be true, but some may not be true.

For example, the most crucial thing is what level his cultivation has reached.

What Lu Le said is that, although he is worse than a Grandmaster, he is not as good as an ordinary Grandmaster because there is a rift in his mind and there is a problem with his divine essence. In terms of pure strength, he is at the Grandmaster level, but in terms of subtlety, he is far inferior.

According to Xie Wanzhi's understanding, that person could easily kill a master-level warrior. In fact, he was most likely a grand master. As for whether he was controlled or whether there were any flaws in his martial arts, it was still unknown.

In addition, it is not certain whether that person is really related to the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace and whether he was really instructed by him to commit these bloody crimes.

Why do you say that?

Quite simply, the motivation doesn't make sense.

As a martial arts master, you have no shortage of worldly wealth or so-called cultivation resources. As long as you want, you can get them at any time. This is the terrifying thing about having great martial arts skills.

However, this man did not have the demeanor of a master, nor did he have a clear goal. Was he killing people to practice martial arts, or did he simply want to plunder wealth, or did he use killing to release the violent emotions in his heart after plundering?

No matter how I calculate it, something feels wrong.

Anyway, Xie Wanzhi put himself in the man's shoes and acknowledged that something must be wrong with him. Either he acted out of his own will, or he was being manipulated by someone.

  Of course, the scope of his crimes spread around Lingwu City. Perhaps, he did it to deal with Meng Zhao?

Are they using these bloody incidents to force Meng Zhao and lure him to leave Lingwu City, or are they simply trying to disgust Meng Zhao? Or are they trying to create unrest in order to shake Meng Zhao's influence in the surrounding areas centered on Lingwu City?

It's all possible.

Therefore, whether the encounter between the Lord of the Demon Palace and Meng Zhao was a chance encounter or a deliberate ambush or assassination is another story.

Xie Wanzhi had certain expectations for Meng Zhao, mainly two.

One, he hopes that Meng Zhao can really solve his own fundamental problems. If he can lend a hand, it won’t be a problem to give the other party a hand.

Second, if Meng Zhao deceived him with lies, perhaps he could use him as the target of the Chaos Millstone to grind his bloodline qualifications in order to make up for his own shortcomings.

Of course, Xie Wanzhi would also be extremely wary of the Lord of the Demon Palace and the grandmaster warriors who were suspected to be controlled by him.

Just kidding, Meng Zhao is already in trouble.

According to Xie Wanzhi's idea, the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace was using the murderer to commit crimes everywhere and manipulate public opinion in order to force Meng Zhao to leave Lingwu City and hunt down the murderer, thereby setting an ambush trap and assassinating Meng Zhao. Although it did not achieve the expected result, it did deal a heavy blow to the rising King Meng Long.

Therefore, he would never be as foolish as Meng Zhao to easily look for the murderer, and it was even more impossible for him to go and fight to the death without any preparation or help.

At least, he has to get some benefits.
