Chapter 1377: Outsiders
January 21, 2018
Three Kingdoms World, Luoyang City, Northern Defense Tower.
Over a dozen fierce generals with martial strength surpassing 120 simultaneously fixed their gazes on the uninvited guest, and in an instant, a terrifying aura exploded, causing Zhang Jiao's face to pale slightly.
After Liuhaihong's establishment, it had been a long time since Zhang Jiao last visited Luoyang, so he wasn't very familiar with Liuhaihong's strength.
Even though Zhang Jiao had tried to overestimate Liuhaihong's strength before coming, at this moment, he realized that he had underestimated Liuhaihong. Liuhaikong's strength far exceeded his expectations.
"Is it you who ruins my grand plan?" As Zhang Jiao was shocked, Liuhaikong spoke with an icy gaze.
However, despite Liuhaikong's question, he knew that the one who stopped Huang Zhong was not Zhang Jiao. The reason was simple: Zhang Jiao didn't possess such strength.
Indeed, when Zhang Jiao appeared during the Yellow Turban Rebellion over twenty years ago, he had displayed immense power. But in reality, his political skills were only mediocre back then. Twenty years had passed, and upon Zhang Jiao's arrival, Liuhaikong immediately realized that while Zhang Jiao's political abilities had improved, they still fell short of 140.
With such strength, he couldn't possibly stop Huang Zhong and the five others.
As expected, when Liuhaikong questioned them, Huang Zhong and the others shook their heads slightly, and Zhang Jiao quickly explained.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I was merely sent by someone to pay my respects and deliver a message on their behalf!"
"Sent by someone? Interesting. So, there's someone who can give you orders?" Liuhaikong's eyes narrowed as he realized who was behind this: "It seems the one who sent you and the one causing me trouble are the same person. Tell me, who is this person who blocked my path and now sends you here?"
Liuhaikong's question caused Zhang Jiao's face to darken. It was clear that the message he was asked to deliver wasn't pleasant, and he hesitated to convey it. But after a moment of hesitation, Zhang Jiao steeled himself and said, "He asked me to tell you that your strength pales in comparison to the various forces from beyond the world. Without its protection in the beyond, you have no means to resist them. For the sake of the people, he hopes that within the next ten years, you will not attract the attention of that gateway and will abandon any thoughts of counter-attacking the beyond!"
After speaking, Zhang Jiao braced himself for Liuhaikong's fury. However, to his surprise, Liuhaikong's face remained expressionless.
Liuhaikong even waved his hand, stopping the furious general who was about to rush forward and subdue Zhang Jiao.
"Enough. Your message has been delivered; you may leave now!"
Liuhaikong's words left his subordinates puzzled. After speaking so boldly, why wasn't His Majesty angry and instead dismissed it so casually?
Zhang Jiao was equally perplexed. After a brief moment of confusion, he realized what was happening.
"Since that's the case, I shall take my leave!"
Bowing to Liuhaikong, Zhang Jiao's figure flashed and disappeared. As Liuhaikong watched Zhang Jiao vanish before his eyes, a cold light flickered in his gaze.
In truth, from the moment Liuhaikong saw Zhang Jiao and heard him mention being sent by someone, he had an idea of what Zhang Jiao would say and who was behind him.
After all, Liuhaikong had been in the Three Kingdoms world for over twenty years and had established his empire for a decade. The secrets of this world were no longer hidden from him.
Lu Hai Kong was well aware that there were a few so-called outsiders in this Three Kingdoms world, and the only ones who could dispatch Zhang Jiao were among these outsiders or perhaps a group of them.
As for those outsiders, and the Nan Hua Old Immortal, Lu Hai Kong didn't have much of a favorable impression.
In Lu Hai Kong's domineering eyes, the entire world belonged to him, and there was no room for outsiders.
This fact alone made Lu Hai Kong quite displeased with that group, let alone the knowledge that they had intended to harm Nuwa during her transformation.
Over the years, as Lu Hai Kong successfully established his nation, the system gradually loosened its restrictions on the world's power.
The so-called outsiders became increasingly unrestrained, and in the past decade, they had grown more and more restless.
Not long ago, a Taoist priest had even dared to infiltrate the palace to steal a holy artifact. The outcome was pitiful; although Lu Hai Kong was not present at the time, Princess San was. The Taoist priest was slashed by her sword and fled in a miserable state.
From that incident, Lu Hai Kong realized that these people were a source of instability. However, he never expected that they would reappear in such a manner.
After Zhang Jiao left, Lu Hai Kong narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems it's time to pay that old man a visit!"
...
In the Three Kingdoms world, several dozen li outside Luoyang City, a mountain peak soared over a thousand meters high, where fierce winds howled. At the summit, a Taoist with an otherworldly air sat in quiet meditation.

Amidst the raging winds, the Taoist remained as steadfast as a solid rock, unmoved by the gusts, not even a strand of his silver hair stirred.
The scene exuded the aura of an otherworldly immortal, but the Taoist's brows were deeply furrowed, his gaze fixed on the direction of Luoyang City as if deep in thought.
After several minutes, a figure appeared out of thin air behind him. Sensing Zhang Jiao's arrival, the Taoist's frown slightly relaxed.
"I delivered your message," Zhang Jiao said calmly, standing behind the Taoist.
The Taoist turned his head, "What did he say?"
"He only said that he understood, and nothing else."
The Taoist's eyebrows arched, "Didn't you ask for a response?"
"Ask for a response? I wouldn't dare!" Zhang Jiao's lips curved into a mocking smile, "If you truly want an answer, why not go yourself?"
The Taoist, however, seemed carefree, "I can't enter. My main body is suppressing that gateway, and my clone can't withstand the might of the Jin Dynasty's destiny. I'd be immediately suppressed if I went in!"
"Since you lack the strength, why play with fire? You should know that one wrong move could lead to your demise!" Zhang Jiao said coldly.
"His plan to counterattack the Beyond World is madness! I can't let him gamble with the fate of this world and the lives of countless beings!" The Taoist spoke with a look of pity.
