Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 110

Initially, Liu Shunyi intended to kill the Truth Seeker Saintess.

However, Lin Wudao intervened.

“Sir, sir, she is useful. She possesses a unique talent that allows her to trace back to the source of things. This ability… not just for our territory, but specifically for the Yama Palace, could greatly aid us in gathering intelligence.”

“Imagine if our enemies fed us false information and we believed it; what would be the consequences?”

“But with her, we would never receive misleading intel.”

Lin Wudao’s words swayed Liu Shunyi somewhat, yet he still furrowed his brow.

“Can you ensure her loyalty?”

Lin Wudao promptly responded, “I will make sure she remains loyal.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Shunyi glanced at the Truth Seeker Saintess, who remained silent with her head bowed.

“You’re quite clever, even while imprisoned, you didn’t entertain thoughts of killing me!”

Lin Wudao’s eyes widened.

Could Liu Shunyi discern someone’s intent to harm him? That was rather chilling.

A sense of dread washed over Lin Wudao, grateful that he hadn’t harbored any malicious intentions. Wait, no – the version of himself with such intentions had already met his demise.

What terrified Lin Wudao most now was the overwhelming pressure he felt upon seeing Liu Shunyi again. He realized that Liu Shunyi had achieved the Nascent Soul stage, a terrifyingly rapid advancement.

What terrified him even more was that despite being at the same Nascent Soul stage, why did Liu Shunyi, having just reached it, make Lin Wudao feel like an ant confronting a colossal tree?!

Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi pondered deeply before finally nodding.

“Very well, since you vouch for her, she shall stay. As for her fate!” Liu Shunyi glanced at Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou instantly understood and promptly infused Truth Seeker Saintess with a burst of magical energy.

Liu Shunyi looked at the Truth Seeker Saintess and said, “Since you claim to see through all deceptions, surely you must also know what resides within your body.”

The Truth Seeker Saintess paled. “I-I do know!”

Liu Shunyi nodded. “Good, knowing is half the battle.”

Then he turned towards Lin Wudao. “Arrange matters concerning her from here on out. Also, I want to review the information and details about the Heavenly God Cult that I requested earlier!”

Lin Wudao acknowledged with a nod.

They proceeded to the main hall of the Yama Palace. Although called the main hall, it was merely a typical quadrangle courtyard house. Most members of the Yama Palace preferred cultivating in seclusion, making physical structures unnecessary, hence their absence.

Upon reaching the main hall, Lin Wudao led the Truth Seeker Saintess and the shadow guard away. He needed to consult the fortune teller.

Meanwhile, Zhao Gou engaged Leng Shuang in discussing medicinal herbs, while Liu Shunyi began examining the documents related to the Heavenly God Cult.

Liu Shunyi wanted to understand the world’s situation better, particularly how Little Sakura fit into it.

As he read through the history, Liu Shunyi was left speechless.

It turned out that Little Sakura represented one of the nine major provinces in this world, Yingzhou.

The inhabitants of Yingzhou were predominantly from Little Sakura.

Regarding the Heavenly God Cult, it was considered the strongest sect within Yingzhou.

Due to Qin Province bordering Yingzhou, the latter harbored ambitions to annex it.

However, what puzzled Liu Shunyi was how the Heavenly God Cult’s foothold in Qin Province seemed connected to the shadowy influence of the Heaven Wrath Temple.

Liu Shunyi gently tapped his fingers on the table, contemplating deeply.

The actions of the Heaven Wrath Temple felt unusual, almost as if led by someone reborn from the future.

While Liu Shunyi could understand seizing opportunities meant for others, typically characteristic of a reborn individual, killing talented individuals, and seemingly targeting Sons of Providence specifically, struck him as odd.

“Is the Heaven Wrath Temple possibly run by a villainous reborn character?”

“And with these tactics, do they aim to unify the entire realm?”

Liu Shunyi shook his head.

“It’s too cliché.”

Based on the intelligence Liu Shunyi had gathered so far, the power of Heaven Wrath likely already surpassed what was needed to control the entire realm.

However, despite possessing such formidable power and remaining so secretive, it suggested that the Heaven Wrath Temple might fear something.

“What could they be afraid of? The protagonist before his rebirth or the Heavenly Dao itself?”

Liu Shunyi pondered, considering both possibilities seemed plausible.

“Damn, why am I wasting time thinking alone?” He suddenly slapped his forehead.

“Shadow Guard!”

The shadow guard instantly appeared.

“Yes, sir, what can I assist you with?”

Liu Shunyi smiled and said,

“Investigate who the master of the Heaven Wrath Temple is, their objectives, and what they fear.”

The shadow guard’s eyes lit up.

“Sir, shall it be quick or thorough? A thorough investigation will take more time, while a swift one may only yield general information!”

Liu Shunyi considered for a moment.

“There’s no rush, take your time!”

The shadow guard nodded.

“I’ll get started right away. Oh, by the way, Sir Yama, recently the Heaven Wrath Temple initiated a plan to eliminate Zhao. Nearly all available Nascent Souls were mobilized.”

Liu Shunyi was taken aback.

“Oh? Do we know where the Heaven Wrath Temple’s forces have been deployed?”

The shadow guard grinned.

“They’ve already been annihilated!”

Liu Shunyi stared, bewildered.

Time swiftly passed, and half a month went by.

During this period, Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou often visited local entertainment venues to listen to music when not busy. Otherwise, they either practiced cultivation or slept, occasionally indulging in some drinking.

These activities were quite ordinary for them.

However, members of the Heaven Wrath Temple watched as Zhao Gou continued living carefree, seemingly unaffected by their plans. Their hearts bled with frustration.

The Deputy Temple Lord of the Heaven Wrath Temple was seething with anger.

“Where are our people? Why is Zhao Gou still alive? Why hasn’t the hunting operation in Qin Province commenced yet?!”

At that moment, a black-robed figure with intricate patterns on his attire took a deep breath.

“My lord, our operatives vanished upon entering Qin Province, without a trace.”

“Moreover, there’s been a mysterious group causing great alarm recently in Qin Province!”

The Deputy Temple Lord composed himself slightly.

“What group is it?”

“The Yama Palace. Rumor has it, they exclusively target those whose evil deeds have reached its zenith, never making mistakes!”

“Therefore, I suspect that our missing operatives might have fallen victim to the Yama Palace assassins!”

The Deputy Temple Lord of the Heaven Wrath Temple snorted coldly.

“Yama Palace? It’s not even mentioned in historical records. Do you truly believe such a force can stand against our Heaven Wrath Temple?”

The black-robed figure fell silent, as he too found it unlikely.

Even a random member from the Heaven Wrath Temple could effortlessly overpower cultivators from other sects. The temple’s resources rivaled those of the Tianji Holy Land itself.

Yama Palace should be no match for the Heaven Wrath Temple.

Wait.

The black-robed figure shook his head again.

“Sir, although rumors of the Yama Palace persist, we’ve been unable to gather any concrete information about them. We don’t even know who established the Yama Palace.”

The Deputy Temple Lord of Heaven Wrath furrowed his brow.

“More secretive than us?”

The black-robed figure shook his head.

“Not necessarily more secretive, but primarily, once our people enter Qin Province, they vanish without a trace. It makes gathering any intelligence impossible.”

The Deputy Temple Lord was somewhat at a loss for words.

“Find two individuals then – one is the Truth Seeker Saintess, capable of discerning origins and revealing past truths; the other is an old man with a modest cultivation base, yet highly accurate in divination.”

Feeling slightly awkward, the black-robed figure responded, “The Truth Seeker Saintess has disappeared, and that old man seems to have been captured recently in Qin Province!”
