Chapter 188 Just give up when you’re ready
It must be said that Li Mo did show some sincerity.
Three artifacts.
Even for Zhao Mu, it is full of great temptation.
He was even slightly moved for a moment, thinking that what Li Mo said made sense.
But considering his character, these words are not very credible.
Zhao Mu could almost conclude that once Li Mo escaped back, he would definitely take revenge on him.
Keeping him around would definitely be a disaster.
But killing...
No matter what Li Mo's character is like, he has a father who is a powerful God Emperor behind him to support him.
Zhao Mu is not yet ready to make an enemy with a powerful God Emperor.
What's more, it is a vengeance for the murder of one's son, which is almost impossible to resolve.
We can't kill him, but we can't let him go easily either.
The best way is to control Li Mo, restrict him to himself, make him unable to retaliate, or even... become his puppet slave.
But this requires some means and cannot be accomplished in a short time.
Zhao Mu's eyes moved and he began to consider something.
"Are you done? Then go die."
Zhao Mu pretended to be angry and slashed at Li Mo with his sword.
Li Mo's heart was pounding. He didn't expect that none of the three magical weapons could impress Zhao Mu. What should he do?
Clang.
The devil's blood sword hit Li Mo's forehead heavily.
Although it was not the sword that injured him, Li Mo was still knocked unconscious with one blow thanks to the overwhelming power of the divine weapon.
Zhao Mu did not hesitate and immediately took out the Mysterious Ice Spear, sealing Li Mo with the Mysterious Ice, and threw it into the Void Ring along with the Daluo Sky Net.
With his strength at the Divine King level, he won't die easily.
During this time, he can think of ways to deal with Li Mo.
"The Soul Binding Lock... If this item is used on Li Mo, it should be extremely effective. However, the Soul Binding Lock is of too low a grade. It may not be effective against a strong Divine King Realm cultivator, but..."
Zhao Mu had an idea, but he had to wait for Ju Jinhua to come back before he could implement it.
After yawning, Zhao Mu went back to his room to rest.
The next morning.
As soon as Zhao Mu woke up, he saw Hua Rong sitting beside the bed wearing armor.
"what happened?"
Hua Rong said excitedly, "Sir, good news! The front line has reached the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou royal family is completely unable to resist. Now even the imperial palace has been occupied. The Great Zhou Emperor has admitted defeat and is signing a treaty of defeat with the Qianyuan Dynasty. He has opened up the treasury to be dealt with at will."
"However, Great Qin is getting restless. They're worried that the Qianyuan Dynasty will take this opportunity to annex Great Zhou, strengthen their power, and affect the three-way balance of power in Zhongzhou. They've already dispatched a large number of Saint Emperor-level experts to Great Zhou for support. It seems unlikely that Qianyuan will annex Great Zhou. However, the benefits of this battle will definitely be beyond imagination."
This was not beyond Zhao Mu's expectations.
The three great dynasties of Zhongzhou have always checked and balanced each other. If the three-party balance is disrupted, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions.
The Great Qin Dynasty would certainly not sit idly by, otherwise, once the Qianyuan Dynasty annexed the Great Zhou and became completely powerful, the Great Qin would be in a very unfavorable situation.
The great cause of unifying Zhongzhou is not so easy to achieve.
In fact, it is not completely impossible.
But for Zhao Mu, it is not necessary.
If the Shengxuan Continent can be unified in the future, it should be the Zhao family that unifies the world, not the current Qianyuan Dynasty.
Zhao Mu not only wants profit, but also fame.
He would not bother to conquer the world for the Li Dynasty.
Zhao Mu immediately took out the video mirror and sent a message to Ju Jinhua.
"Quit while you're ahead."
It is enough to get the benefits, there is no need to let the war continue to escalate.
"Okay, my lord. I understand."
Ju Jinhua replied quickly.
……
It was a sunny morning and the weather was very nice.
Zhao Mu was unwilling to waste such a good time, so he did some warm-up exercises in the room before going out.
Hua Rong was very tired and lay down to sleep again.
"Sir, where is my brother? Why can't I see him so early in the morning?" Li Xiaoxiao asked hurriedly when she saw Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Master Li Mo left a long time ago to go on an investigation. He told me to tell you to wait patiently for a few days."
"Oh, so that's it. Xiaoxiao understands."
Although Li Xiaoxiao wanted to go home quickly and see her biological father, since her brother was busy, there was no need to rush.
That night, the Qianyuan army returned triumphantly.
This battle was a direct victory, and the Qianyuan army suffered almost no casualties.
With Sword God Ye Changqiu leading the charge, the Great Zhou had no ability to resist at all.
The status of Jianmen in the Great Zhou Dynasty is equivalent to that of the Jiuxuan Sect in the Qianyuan Dynasty. It is itself a martial arts force that is above the imperial power.
Since the leader of Jianmen has rebelled, Jianmen will naturally follow suit.
How could the royal family of the Great Zhou withstand it?
Ju Jinhua found Zhao Mu as soon as possible.
"My Lord, this battle yielded a rich harvest. Most of the Great Zhou royal family's accumulation over tens of thousands of years has fallen into my hands. Countless imperial treasures are all here. Please review them, my Lord."
Ju Jinhua handed a special ring to Zhao Mu.
This ring itself is extraordinary. It is a ninth-grade imperial magic weapon, and its quality is considered high among the ninth-grade ones.
The internal storage space is much larger than Zhao Mu's Void Storage Ring, and can accommodate an entire palace.
There are countless treasures displayed inside.
Zhao Mu took a casual glance and did not find any aura of a divine weapon, feeling a little regretful.
It seems that the rarity of the artifact is beyond Zhao Mu's imagination.
Qianyuan and Da Zhou, the two great dynasties combined, could not even produce a fragment of a divine artifact.
Forget it, it’s pretty good to have such a harvest, there’s no need to ask for too much.
Zhao Mu accepted the ring, put it on his hand, and said, "Since the war is over, let's go home."
"By the way, where is Ye Changqiu?"
Ju Jinhua replied, "Ye Changqiu plans to relocate Jianmen to the territory of the Qianyuan Dynasty. It may take a few days. After it is completed, he will go to Yuanjing City to report to the master."
"Okay." Zhao Mu nodded.
……
The next day.
Yuan capital, Prince Zhao's palace.
Ju Jinhua did not attend court today and slept next to Zhao Mu until almost noon before getting up.
"Hua Rong's qualifications are indeed good, but her experience is still young. However, since the master has ordered it, I will transfer her to the military headquarters. The Grand Marshal is old and has already decided to abdicate. When the time comes, we can support Hua Rong to take over the position of Grand Marshal and take charge of the military power of the Qianyuan Dynasty."
Ju Jinhua certainly had no objection. Hua Rong was a member of the Rose Society and now had the favor of the master. It was naturally most appropriate to support her to a high position.
Zhao Mu nodded: "There is one more thing."
Zhao Mu reached behind Ju Jinhua's neck and gently pushed it, and a shadow of a chain emerged.
Ju Jinhua's expression changed.
Of course she knew about the existence of the Soul Binding Lock.
Is the Lord going to take away the Soul Binding Chain now?
Ju Jinhua's heart was not too shaken.
She knew clearly that her master's strength was far greater than hers now. Even without the restraint of the Soul Binding Chain, she would never betray her master.
"I need to take this Soul Binding Lock back and refine it again. Come with me back to the Zhao family."
