“Why?” Liu Bai still asked Xiao Tianyao this question even after returning from the camp.

It was not easy to have an opportunity to kill the two martial gods of the Northern Country. So why did Xiao Tianyao give up?

It will be more difficult to kill them in the future.

Liu Bai couldn’t understand it. Besides, he deeply regretted that he didn’t kill those two martial gods, so he kept asking Xiao Tianyao. If Xiao Tianyao would not answer him, he wouldn’t stop.

If Su Cha was here, it would be okay. Su Cha would naturally answer this question on behalf of Xiao Tianyao, but Su Cha was not here. Xiao Tianyao, who was annoyed by Liu Bai’s question, couldn’t help but looked at him and said: “What’s the use of killing them?” Without them, there will be others. The Central Empire will not allow the four countries to break the current balance of each other.”

Why did the Central Empire stipulate that each of the four countries including the Eastern Country to only have two martial gods and didn’t allow the martial gods to appear on the battlefield?

The reason was very obvious. It was to maintain the peace order in the four countries and prevent the martial gods from making unnecessary sacrifices. But in fact, they were afraid that one of the four countries will dominate and engulf the other three countries, then compete with the Central Empire.

As long as anyone has a little brain, they can understand this truth. Liu Bai doesn’t understand it, or rather, he doesn’t want to understand it. So at this moment, he was trying to make him understand it.

“What does this have to do with the killing of the martial gods of Northern Country? Killing those two martial gods will end this battle.” Liu Bai understood that the Central Empire checks the balance between the four countries. But isn’t killing those two martial gods Kingdoms would be better for them in a short amount of time?

“They are afraid of this prince, and they are poisoned. They can’t do anything in a short time. Instead of letting two more powerful martial gods appear, why not keep them?” Since he answered Liu Bai’s question, Xiao Tianyao didn’t say anymore after saying: “Besides, do you think that the two of them will be able to affect the battle between North and the East? Don’t forget, those two martial gods of the North didn’t attack ordinary soldiers before.”

Although the Northern Country disregarded the rules and sent their martial gods on the battlefield, they restrict them. The two martial gods of the Northern Country didn’t attack ordinary people. They only appeared to improve the morale of the Northern Army.

Liu Bai understood Xiao Tianyao’s concerns, but he still worried about one thing: “What if they report about the poisonous smoke explosives to the Central Empire?”

“Do you think that you can hide it for a lifetime if you don’t say anything about it? Xiao Tianyao shook his head. Seeing Liu Bai still look puzzled, Xiao Tianyao really didn’t bother to talk to him: “You don’t have to worry about these things, just do what you should do.”

“But…yes.” Liu Bai opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.

He thought that his proposal was for the sake of their prince, but their prince seemed to be unhappy.

Liu Bai was still quite lost when he went out. So when he encountered Mo Qingfeng, who was trying to figure out his moves alone, Liu Bai felt upset. Seeing that Mo Qingfeng’s moves were the ones that Xiao Tianyao used today, he began to think about it.

“Let’s fight.” Liu Bai took out his sword and pointed it at Mo Qingfeng.

This moved didn’t give Mo Qingfeng a chance to say no. Mo Qingfeng doesn’t mind, he nodded his head and practiced with Liu Bai.

The martial arts of the two were comparable. Because there was no intention to kill each other. After hundreds of moves, they were still tied. When both of them felt a little tired, they ended it tacitly.

“Great match!” After a good match, Liu Bai’s frustration dissipated a lot, he inserted back his sword in the scabbard and sat in a big stone.
