Chapter 532 The Chosen Ones’ Swordsmanship Compet.i.tion (Part 1)

w.a.n.g Tianzong turned to look at the door.

In front of an empty door came the sound of messy wind and rain, vague and dimly discernible.

Li Tianlan appeared silently in front of the door with a calm face.

w.a.n.g Tianzong squinted at Li Tianlan.

Their eyes met for a moment.

At that moment, even Li Huacheng, who was thousands of miles away, could feel the indescribable sharpness through the screen.

He frowned slightly and said slowly, “I know that there are differences in your ideas, but you are the pillars and even main supporters of Zhongzhou State. Now that we are fighting outside, I hope you two can put the overall situation first.”

He paused.

In a somewhat awkward silence, his eyes gradually became sharp. He said indifferently, “This is not a suggestion.”

Since it was not a suggestion, then it was naturally a request.

It could even be called as an order.

w.a.n.g Tianzong smiled lightly and said softly, “You’re overscrupulous, President. General Li is young, but his sharpness is so strong that even I can’t move him. He is such a talent. Of course, I must take care of him and give him full respect.”

Li Huacheng chuckled and looked at Li Tianlan with meaningful eyes.

Li Tianlan looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong and said expressionlessly, “His Majesty has always been a role model for me to study, and I’ve always respected him. Don’t worry, President. I know what to do.”

Li Huacheng shook his head, and thought that this was all nonsense. But no matter what, it was at least the clear att.i.tude of these two. His face relaxed slightly, and he said calmly, “That’s great. I’ll visit Wulan State in the next few days. So I’ll have to trouble you two with many things in Eastern Europe.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong didn’t say anything.

Li Tianlan nodded.

Li Huacheng took a deep look at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and finally hung up the phone.

The room was quiet again.

w.a.n.g Tianzong and Li Tianlan looked at each other quietly. The atmosphere was subtle and weird.

After an unknown period of time, w.a.n.g Tianzong raised his eyebrows and asked casually, “Have you eaten yet?”

“I’ve eaten a little before I came, so I can have more now.”

Li Tianlan walked over to the table and sat down. He quietly filled a bowl of rice for himself and poured himself a gla.s.s of wine at the same time.

w.a.n.g Tianzong also sat down.

Li Tianlan raised his gla.s.s calmly.

They clinked their gla.s.ses and drank up the wine in one gulp.

The silence continued.

Time pa.s.sed slowly.

The food on the table was getting fewer and fewer.

The nearly five kilograms of rice were eaten by them, and there was only less than half of a bottle of Maotai left.

w.a.n.g Tianzong slowly picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth and suddenly said, “You did a good job in the matter of Wulan State.”

Li Tianlan took out a cigarette, handed it to w.a.n.g Tianzong and said in a bland tone, “I didn’t come here today to listen to your praise.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong smiled. What he said was true.

It had been the first battle between w.a.n.g Tianzong and Li Tianlan in Wulan State.

He had left the Caesar Hotel and had been imprisoned here.

Hence, everything that had happened in Wulan State last night had nothing to do with him.

Even if Li Tianlan died, it had nothing to do with him.

The Shadow Throne, Rothschild, the Eastern Church, Morton, and Violet.

They were all chips in w.a.n.g Tianzong’s hands.

The heavenly scale of victory had inclined to w.a.n.g Tianzong for countless times.

In the first fight between the two of them, Li Tianlan had lost and had been almost doomed eternally.

But in the end, it was the Li family that had won.

Most of the forces began to withdraw from Eastern Europe. The Shadow Throne had been disbanded, and KingTong had been destroyed. Even Paul had also suffered extremely serious injuries. The war potential for Rothschild, at least for five or ten years, was completely exhausted.

Before last night, w.a.n.g Tianzong’s most reliable ally had been the Shadow Throne.

At that time, there had been no Tyrant around him.

After last night, he found Tyrant, but he also lost the Shadow Throne.

Overnight, w.a.n.g Tianzong had suffered a great loss.

However, w.a.n.g Tianzong was not angry. Now that it had developed to this point, it almost meant that at least in the Eastern Europe chaos, w.a.n.g Tianzong had lost the best chance to get rid of Li Tianlan, so he could only look forward.

He lit his cigarette and took a deep puff of smoke. Then, he said quietly, “The President will visit Wulan State in the coming days. What do you think of that?”

“Good thing.”

Li Tianlan took a sip of the fragrant soup and said casually, “I welcome him with both hands.”

“But I’m not sure that Wulan State and the neighboring countries will welcome him,” w.a.n.g Tianzong said briefly.

“It’s not up to him.”

Li Tianlan shook his head lightly.

w.a.n.g Tianzong looked at Li Tianlan quietly. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “I have a few candidates here. Please take a look at them. I think they can follow the President to Wulan State. It’s good for both you and me, as well as Wulan State and Zhongzhou State.”

Li Tianlan’s movement to serve soup was slightly stagnant. He looked up at w.a.n.g Tianzong.

There was no emotion in his eyes, and he said blandly, “Cooperate?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong said calmly, “Would you like to think about it?”

Li Tianlan put down the bowl in his hand and said bluntly, “You don’t have to do that.” He didn’t even ask who w.a.n.g Tianzong wanted to recommend.

Presently, for Zhongzhou State, Wulan State, Li Tianlan, and the Giant Group, the most important thing was Li Huacheng’s visit to Wulan State.

This was a major event that drew the attention of the world.

For nearly 20 years, this was the first time for the President of Zhongzhou State to visit Wulan State. An extremely large delegation followed Li Huacheng.

However, it was strange that there were very few with official positions in this large delegation of more than 300 people. Most of them were important figures of some rich and powerful families in Zhongzhou State, or the bosses of some big groups in some countries.

It went without saying what it meant.

For Zhongzhou State, this was a feast.

In this interview, Prime Minister Reeker of Wulan State represented Wulan Country to sign the contract with the President of Zhongzhou State, Li Huacheng.

The agreement was still in formation, but one condition was extremely crucial. After the agreement was signed, the five countries in Eastern Europe with Wulan State as the center would pay at least two trillion yuan of war compensation to Zhongzhou State.

This compensation was enough to completely squeeze the financial resources of several countries in a short period of time. They could only rely on Zhongzhou State in terms of finance.

This was followed by Zhongzhou State’s ‘Investment’ to several countries.

This was almost undisguised plundering.

These robbers were members of this delegation that had followed Li Huacheng for a visit.

The members of the delegation were in various fields, such as military equipment, banks, finance, energy, trade, real estate, media, tourism, hotel, catering, construction, food, and so on.

The five countries in Eastern Europe were about to usher in a really new trend of development.

At that time, as long as the delegation partic.i.p.ants, who had come with Li Huacheng, had gained something, they would certainly gain a lot.

Zhongzhou State’s power would continue to develop in every way in the five countries. All the wealth in the five countries would continue to flow into Zhongzhou State. If they took down the five countries in Eastern Europe, Zhongzhou State would have at least tens of millions of jobs, and then they would release more laborers, and their national strength would slowly increase. In five years, the five countries in Eastern Europe would be tightly tied to Zhongzhou State.

In 20 years, a sentence from Zhongzhou State could completely overturn all the pattern of the five countries in Eastern Europe.

In 50 years, the five countries in Eastern Europe would completely become the va.s.sal of Zhongzhou State.

This was a war.

The two sides of victory and defeat were completely crazy interests and desperate situations.

To achieve all these goals, Zhongzhou State needed stability.

The Arctic Ocean Command and the Snowdance Corps were the cornerstone of stability.

At this time, every rich and powerful family or group that had come with Li Huacheng would have the opportunity to rise rapidly in the future as long as they could gain a firm foothold there.

In such a situation, whether they could stay or not depended on the will of Zhongzhou State.

But whether they could gain a firm foothold after staying or not depended on the att.i.tude of Li Tianlan and the Snowdance Corps.

It would take Li Huacheng about a week or half a month to visit Eastern Europe. Li Tianlan only needed to make good use of this period of time to build a huge network of connections in Zhongzhou State.

The rise of the Li family was going to be a foregone conclusion.

w.a.n.g Tianzong had wanted to stop all this. But from last night until now, the outcome had been formed—even he couldn’t change it!

Under such circ.u.mstances, w.a.n.g Tianzong could only choose to cooperate with Li Tianlan.

He couldn’t take away the five countries in Eastern Europe, so he could only have a share of the rest of the feast.

However, Li Tianlan refused his request without hesitation.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong laughed and said, “You should listen to my conditions.”

“Even if we have life-and-death feuds, we can still work together at certain times.”

“Go ahead.”

Li Tianlan said blandly, “It’s just that I’m not ready to accept it.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong glanced at him and said flatly, “I’ve said it before. You took down the five countries of Eastern Europe and guarded it. Then they are yours. But my eyes are on all of Eastern Europe. Now we’re cooperating in the five countries of Eastern Europe. When all of Eastern Europe falls into the hands of Beihai, I will treat you well as a return.”

“All of Eastern Europe?”

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, “You used all your means last night. Now, in this situation, can you still take all of Eastern Europe?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong said calmly, “Perhaps in a few years, you will experience more and will understand that in the general trend, some means are the most useful and the most useless. I am Sword Emperor. It doesn’t matter if I don’t have any means. I only need a sword.”

“Your sword is not good enough,” Li Tianlan replied blandly.

w.a.n.g Tianzong was very strong. As the only Half-step Chosen One in the Dark World, he was only half a step away from the Real Supreme.

But the distance of half a step was also a distance.

At least, for now, in Li Tianlan’s eyes, w.a.n.g Tianzong’s strength was not invincible.

“It’s not good enough, but it’s not far from it.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong said calmly, “I have enough Sword Energy, but my Sword Intent is a little bit weaker. But is your Sword Intent really flawless?”

“What do you mean?”

Li Tianlan looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong with deep eyes.

w.a.n.g Tianzong laughed and said, “It doesn’t matter. Your Sword Intent may have been perfect. But obviously, your sword strike last night was not perfect. It seemed that the Sword Intent had reached the Peak, but it was still a little far from it, only a little bit.”

He patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder. “So, you want to mislead me with that sword move and stop me from breaking through?”

Li Tianlan’s pupils contracted slightly.

“I’ve completed the move.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong looked at Li Tianlan calmly and whispered, “Thank you.”
