“What are you looking for? You have been gesturing ever since you came back!” The empress held the roaring emperor with one hand and picked up a fruit with the other, throwing it onto the map that Ren Baqian was gesturing at.

Others usually cradled their pets, but she held hers by the neck. It was pretty enjoyable to see the expression on the roaring emperor’s face.

“I brought back a big guy this time.” He turned around and looked at her before turning back to study the map.

“Oh, haven’t you said that already?” As the empress released her grip, the roaring emperor somersaulted as it reached the ground. Immediately, it started to subconsciously dig a hole.

Moles that didn’t dig were like monkeys that didn’t climb trees!

However, she quickly kicked it aside and declared, “If you dig again, I’ll have you for dinner tomorrow!”

The roaring emperor fled.

“Therefore, I need to find a place to detonate it. It’s not very wise to keep this thing around! Still, a suitable place isn’t easy to find!”

“Can you blow up Lan City?” the empress asked out of curiosity.

She had been curious about the power of nuclear warheads ever since she watched a documentary about them on Earth.

However, she had only seen the two miniatures warheads that Ren Baqian previously detonated. Their power was only sufficient to blow up half the palace.

As such, she was very curious about how powerful this big boy was.

“I’m afraid that it would even blow up four Lan Cities!” Ren Baqian smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect China to be so ruthless.

The last three were miniature nuclear warheads. This time, they actually got him a real deterrent warhead!

The reason was… it was about to expire… Of course, they definitely didn’t tell him this at the time…

At the thought of this, Ren Baqian started to feel furious.

Damn it! You actually gave me a nuclear warhead that was nearing the end of its shelf life?

Also, it was said that there were quite a number of these… Since the nation was going to destroy them anyway, they decided to give him one based on the fact that he had been so sincere. He had to admit that those big shots were pretty gutsy!

475 kilotons!

The two warheads that the USA detonated back then only added up to about 30 kilotons.

The one that Ren Baqian had was 15 times as powerful as the two of those combined!

Not to mention using it to scare Li Fu, even he himself was scared!

The more important factor was… this thing was almost past its shelf life, and there was no telling if any problems would arise…

Well, there was still a long way to go, six months to be exact.

In addition, Ren Baqian was preparing to detonate it within the next few days!

However, it wasn’t an easy task…

First of all, he had to find a deserted place, preferably one with few animals.

This was to prevent wildlife from being affected by nuclear radiation and ending up as monsters.

It would still be fine if Godzilla was created because any Cardinal Heaven expert would be able to take care of it easily.

However, the beasts of this world were inherently powerful, and it would be troublesome if they mutated.

The two warheads that were detonated in the Sixty Thousand Mountains were much weaker. People were also assigned to strictly cordon off the area and stop beasts from entering. As such, there wouldn’t be many problems.

However, this one was really too big…

In addition to being deserted, the area had to be large enough.

A desert would be best, but there weren’t any deserts in Dayao!

Ren Baqian didn’t want to burn the grasslands and ranches…

After hearing him say that even four Lan Cities would be blown up, the empress was startled and felt that this was unfathomable.

She asked, “Is this thing really so strong? I do not dare to easily hand such a dangerous object to anyone!”

“I didn’t expect this either!” He smiled bitterly. He originally thought that having a ten kiloton warhead would be sufficient. The blast radius would be one kilometer, which meant an area of four square kilometers. Of course, the impact radius was larger, reaching ten square kilometers.

This 475 kiloton warhead had a blast radius of five kilometers and a destructive area of 75 square kilometers. This meant that everything within this area would be ignited by the extreme heat and light energy produced during the explosion.

Its impact radius was even greater!

Not to mention the radioactive radius, which would be dozens of times larger than that. As such, Ren Baqian had to be cautious.

He studied the map for a long time and drew circles in several places.

He then sat back at the table and started writing.

“Li Yuanzhu?” When the empress glanced over, her facial expression immediately changed.

“It would be a waste if we didn’t invite more people to witness the detonation of such a huge nuclear warhead!” Ren Baqian continued writing.

“Out of the world’s top ten experts, Xu Wuming, ranked second in the world, has stayed hidden for a long time. He has always been secretive about his whereabouts and is very temperamental. We can forget about such people. Li Yuanzhu is the third most powerful expert in the world, she’s a fairly decent person, and we can use her help! With her aid, many things can be settled much more easily!

You are the fourth most powerful expert in the world, Your Majesty. The fifth most powerful expert is Jiang Zijie, who was previously ranked number six and uses the double-ring sword. This person’s reputation is pretty good as well, and I want to send someone to invite him. However, he is the head of Huabing Sword House, so we might not be able to make him budge!

Hong Wu is the sixth most powerful expert while the seventh to tenth ranked experts have all been taken care of by you, Your Majesty,” he elaborated.

Ren Baqian laughed at this moment. The empress had killed many experts in recent years! The fourth most powerful expert, Teng Yue, the fifth, Hua Sanliu, the seventh, Lu Pinghai as well as Zhulin Er Lao, who had been killed by her just as he was promoted to the tenth most powerful expert in the world.

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards were still undergoing training and hadn’t been deployed, information pertaining to these top experts was easily obtainable by simply asking around.

“The seventh most powerful expert is currently Tong Yan, who was originally the twelfth. This person is hypocritical and treacherous, so we can’t use him.

The eighth most powerful expert is Ma Hongyu, who was originally the fourteenth in the world. Even though this man is pretty neutral, he’s a man of his word. We have to invite this person as well. Even though he has a villa, it seems like he could be much easier to invite than Jiang Zixie.

The ninth most powerful expert is Xu Gongsou, the elder of the Moon Palm Gate. He’s nicknamed the Controller of the Sun, Moon, and Universe and has a good reputation.

Tenth in the rankings is Lin Dong, chief trainer of the Righteous Sect… The sect’s name is righteous, but they are notorious for their evil practices and have a poor reputation. As for this Lin Dong… Although his temper is irascible, he stays true to his word. We can try to reach out to him.”

“None of these people can be easily moved. What ostensible purpose do you have?” The empress twitched her mouth.

“In the name of Li Fu, the world’s most powerful expert of course, I’ll say… that the secret residence of a God will soon be revealed and that Li Fu can’t handle it alone, thus requesting their aid. Those who offer aid shall behold treasure.” Ren Baqian had read many fantasy novels in the past, and he had a whole bunch of ideas like this in his head.

These experts might not take it seriously if they heard it from someone else, but if they heard it from Li Fu, most of them would probably come and take a look!

“If they find out that they have been duped… Hehe… I won’t be able to handle them!” the empress stated.

“After they witness the detonation of the nuclear warhead, I expect all of us will be able to sit down and have a proper talk.” Ren Baqian wasn’t the least bit worried.

“However, you aren’t going to write that in the letter, right?” The empress looked at him and frowned.

“Li Yuanzhu is too indifferent—fame and wealth will never entice her. The hidden treasures of the predecessors were unveiled somewhere near her mountain in the past, yet she didn’t do anything about it at all. We must use justice to convince such people.” He smiled.

Ren Baqian wrote on the paper:

“The human race is in danger, and the foreign races are making a comeback. The force is unstoppable. This matter shall be discussed in Lan City in two months!

Regards, Li Fu.”

The letter sent to Li Yuanzhu was to invite her to Lan City.

Once Ren Baqian persuaded her, he would be able to rely on both the empress and Li Yuanzhu to suppress the others.

The venue that he wrote in the letters to the rest was the place where he intended to detonate the warhead!

“Your handwriting is very ugly!” the empress commented.

“That’s right. With Li Fu’s background, I wouldn’t believe it if his handwriting was nice!” Ren Baqian burst into laughter. “Besides, no one would guess that someone dared to impersonate him with this ugly handwriting, right? The credibility of this letter will then be higher!”

“Seeing a person’s handwriting is like seeing the person. These experts have their own divinity in their handwriting that you can never imitate.” The empress shook her head.

The next day, Li Fu heard that Ren Baqian had moved the date back two and a half months.

He then sneered and quipped, “You have always had a glib tongue, but why can’t you do it now?”

“We will see in two and a half months.” Ren Baqian chuckled and didn’t seem to be bothered.

“Sure, I’ll wait two and a half months to see what you can do! Just don’t postpone it again!”
