Chapter 540 – On-site

Li Huowang was soaked in the bone-chilling pool, but his heart was even colder because he was in extreme danger at the moment.

The fan recorded the secret of the Siming, and it was dangerous to just look at it.

When Li Huowang realized that the white thing in front of him was Zhuge Yuan's folding fan, he immediately closed his eyes, but he still caught a glimpse of the words dissolving in the water on the fan.

"Great Siming, there is no way and no front, the Siming is exposed, and it comes from it, just like it."

"Great Siming? What is that? No, I must forget it! I must forget it!!" Li Huowang clenched his fists and shouted frantically in his heart.

One by one, long needles were pulled out of the torture package and inserted into the gaps of Li Huowang's fingernails. The sharp pain made him ignore everything else.

He struggled to climb out of the water again, panting heavily in the cave.

Taking a deep breath, Li Huowang looked at Zhuge Yuan and said, "Brother Zhuge, I saw a line of words written on the fan just now."

Zhuge Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Really?!" But then he asked with surprise, "It shouldn't be, if you really saw it, your body should have been affected by their cause and effect, so why is there no change in you now?"

"No?" Li Huowang felt a glimmer of hope, "Maybe... maybe it's because I can't fully understand it? Your writing is too sophisticated for me to understand."

Hearing this, the solemn expression on Zhuge Yuan's face disappeared, and he let out a sigh of relief, smiling easily, "It's okay, it's okay. I was going to advise Brother Li to read more sage books before, but I didn't expect this. This... cough, actually helped Brother Li. If you can't understand it, you won't be affected by the cause and effect."

After hearing this, Li Huowang's tense heart finally relaxed, grateful that he couldn't understand the classical Chinese.

But after the relief, Li Huowang remembered the three words at the beginning, "Great Siming." Even if he couldn't understand it, he could understand that it was a name or title.

"Great Siming? If the Siming is already so powerful, then the Great Siming must be even more powerful, right?"

"If the Siming is already so powerful, then how powerful is the Great Siming?" Li Huowang tried hard to imagine, but he couldn't imagine it at all. To be honest, his five senses were not integrated at the moment, and he couldn't even imagine the Siming, let alone the Great Siming.

In the depths of his mind, Li Huowang seemed to feel that he had inadvertently learned something extraordinary.

"Great Siming, there is no way and no front?" Li Huowang was about to ponder the next words when he suddenly became alert, "I can't think about it! I've just narrowly escaped a disaster, I can't bring it upon myself!"

Li Huowang immediately used his fingernails to pull out the long needle inserted in the gap of his fingernail, and the intense stabbing pain immediately diverted his attention.

Enduring the pain, Li Huowang said to Zhuge Yuan, "It seems that in my life, I should try to avoid as much knowledge of classical Chinese as possible."

"Brother Li, what is classical Chinese?"

Li Huowang shook his head, no longer explaining anything, and went back into the water with Li Sui.

The same mistake cannot be made a second time. After confirming that the fan was completely gone, Li Huowang swam towards the water's surface.

After climbing out of the pit, Li Huowang prepared to lift the spine sword and return to Daliang.

"Dad, look, what's that?"

Hearing Li Sui's question, Li Huowang turned his head in the direction of his outstretched finger and saw three black smoke rising slowly in the distant sky.

Li Huowang didn't know what it was, but Qiu Chibao, who was holding her child next to him, knew. Her eyes were full of fear as she said, "That's a war signal. There's going to be a battle again. Master, please don't go. People will die in the war. I'm scared."

After taking another look at the crazy Qiu Chibao, Li Huowang said nothing more and immediately raised the spine sword with force.

By the time Li Huowang returned to Shangjing, several days had passed.

Although he had been busy during this time, Li Huowang felt that it was worth it. Compared to his previous self who was at the mercy of others, he now had a card to fight against the Dice.

Just as Li Huowang's hand touched the door of his courtyard, he found that the door was ajar, and his heart skipped a beat. "Has it been robbed?"

"Creak~!" Li Huowang pushed the door open and walked in with the horse, only to find an unexpected person sitting in the hall waiting for him, Hong Da.

Li Huowang's face changed, and he gripped the spine sword behind him with one hand. Hong Da's inexplicable appearance in his house meant something, and he could guess it without thinking.

He had hidden so deeply, but the other party still found him.

Li Huowang understood that he couldn't act now. If he acted in Shangjing, he was afraid that he would completely break with the Siming.

"No, this is different from the previous situations. I haven't borrowed anything from them, and there's still a chance."

After a quick thought, an idea popped into Li Huowang's mind, and he immediately smiled and walked towards Hong Da with his hands clasped.

"Oh? Brother Hong, I've missed you since we last parted! I thought you had already left Daliang."

"The Siming has something to find you for." Hong Da stood up and returned the greeting.

Li Huowang opened his eyes slightly, looking surprised, "Could it be related to the matter of the Renwang? Could it be that the Siming has taken action, and he actually escaped?"

Hong Da shook his head with a wry smile, "No, the Renwang has long been dead. It's about the theft of the Buddha's jade furnace and the Taixu sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room darkened, and the people who had been there before blocked the door behind Li Huowang. The thumb-sized Buddhas emerged from various cracks in the hall, enveloping Li Huowang upside down.

The former owner of the spine sword, the woman, glared at Li Huowang with malice in her eyes, pointing her black-nailed finger at him.

"You thief dared to use the illusion technique to deceive us. I've checked it a long time ago. Even the Lord of the Siming can't let a heart-wrangler live!"Upon seeing even Hong Da revealing those long knives hidden beneath his clothes, Li Huowang's complexion remained utterly unflustered. Instead, he confronted them in an unusually aggressive manner, demanding, "Stop making excuses. I am currently assisting His Highness with his affairs. Are you attacking me now because someone else has hired you to weaken His Highness's influence?"

"Don't you dare slander us! You snatched my weapon for no reason! And you think you're in the right?" The woman was nearly exploding with rage, unable to believe someone could be so shameless.

Li Huowang glanced to the left, pulled over a bench, and sat down with a calm and composed air, pretending to be all-knowing as he said, "I don't know anything about slinging mud. All I know is that if you kill me, it would greatly benefit the other contenders for the succession. So tell me, whose orders are you really following?"
