Between heaven and earth, the awe-inspiring energy fights against the power of heaven, and the sound of reading aloud spreads throughout the five realms and reaches the underworld.
In the small world, Ye Ling took the elixir and his injuries improved a lot. Suddenly he heard Kong Mengyao's voice and hurriedly got up to take a look. But in that awe-inspiring aura, Kong Mengyao was dressed in Confucian uniform, standing with his hands behind his back, still looking like an old scholar.
Lai suddenly said: "He is very strong and should not be a person from the lower world."
Hearing this, Hua Xinfeng and others were all shocked. If according to what Lai said, Kong Mengyao should have broken through the realm and ascended to heaven long ago.
Ye Ling's eyes flickered as he looked at Kong Mengyao's back. At this moment, he seemed to see the backbone of all the scholars in the world!
Above the void, Kong Mengyao looked at the sky, slowly raised his hand, and moved forward. The thunderclouds in the sky continued to dissipate, the sky gradually cleared, and the warm sky light poured down, illuminating the earth. The people cheered and knelt down to give thanks.
From above the sky, a figure also stood with hands behind his hands, looking at Kong Mengyao.
When Kong Mengyao saw that figure, he smiled slightly and said: "Confucian scholar Kong Mengyao is willing to discuss the way of heaven."
Heavenly Dao did not respond, but Heavenly power continued.
Kong Mengyao saw it and walked towards Qiongxiao step by step. His whole body was shrouded in awe-inspiring aura, and even the power of Heaven could not reduce it even a bit.
Above the clouds, the last words of the Master came: "If there is a way in the world, you will die for the way. If there is no way in the world, you will die for yourself. I have never heard of anyone who uses the way to sacrifice others."
After saying the last sentence, the loud sound of reading echoed between heaven and earth, the power of heaven gradually dissipated, and the haze that pressed on everyone's heart finally dissipated.
The sky is bright, and the land of the Eastern Territory has never been as bright as it is today. The warm sun is in the sky and blends into people's hearts.
In the school, the students no longer heard Kong Mengyao's voice, and they all ran to the door to look around. But the sky was clear during the day, but not a single human figure was seen.
In the ruined temple and the old view, Wudu and Jixiu sat face to face. Wudu sighed and said: "Those who understand the holy Dharma are called saints; those who understand the ordinary Dharma are called ordinary people. But if you can abandon the ordinary Dharma and turn to the Holy Dharma, you will become a saint."
Ji Xiu said: "Go to the extreme of emptiness and keep quiet; all things are working together, and I will watch their recovery."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and said, "Master, we have learned a lesson!"
…………
There were ripples in the air, and then Yan, Ye Ling and others stepped out. Wei Xunhuan waved his fan and said: "The human race is in great catastrophe, and the crisis has been turned into safety!"
Mo Luren nodded and said: "I thought that our Seven Emotions Sect would have to rely on you and my senior brothers to rebuild it in the future."
Lai remained silent and looked at Ye Ling who was slowly walking forward. Ye Ling came to the place where Kong Mengyao once stood and said: "Send me off!"
The sound spread for several miles, and after hearing Ye Ling's words, some people also knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "Send Master!"
When the voice came again, the residents of the town and the students in the school also respectfully shouted: "Send me off!"
For some reason, this voice spread farther and farther, so that people all over the Eastern Region shouted to the sky: "Send Master!"
The sound echoed for nine days and could not dissipate for a long time...
…………
Outside Taiyue City, Song Zheng and Ji Changfeng came under the city gate and looked at Taiyue City being empty. The people had already died at the hands of their monarch Baili Longteng. Song Zheng kept sighing: "How can such tyrants survive?"
"well said!"
On top of the city wall, a figure walked out. His armor was glowing with cold light, and his long red hair was dancing in the wind. It was Baili Xiyu, the fourth prince of Daqian.
Baili Xiyu looked at Song Zheng at the gate of the city and said with a smile: "I have heard of Mr. Song's reputation for loyalty and integrity for a long time. Now that my father has fallen, the country cannot be without a master for a day. I will inherit the legacy of my father and brother and lead the country." Qian, Sir Song, would you like to help me?"
After hearing this, Song Zheng walked into Taiyue City with Ji Changfeng without saying a word.
Seeing that Song Zheng ignored him and Baili Xiyu didn't care either, he looked into the distance and saw a black line approaching on the vast horizon. It was the soldiers and horses under his command, heading towards Taiyue City at the moment. .
"The eldest brother, the second brother, and the sixth brother have all died, leaving only three trashes who only know how to write and calligraphy." Baili Xiyu laughed loudly: "This Daqian, after all, is my world!"
The teleportation array in the center of Taiyue City has been destroyed, and the copper tripod, one of the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu, fell down, shattering the array. Above the cauldron, the jade seal of Zhenguo surrounded by nine dragons floats, shrouded in a faint halo, symbolizing the fortune of the dynasty.
Around the bronze tripod, Assistant Prime Minister He Lanyi led hundreds of civil and military officials to form a formation to protect the bronze tripod and the jade seal.
He Lanyi originally handled political affairs in the cabinet. After Xu Zheng's troops surrounded Taiyue City, he received an order to protect the civil and military officials of the court and guard the foundation of Daqian.
At this time, Song Zheng and Ji Changfeng came to the center of Taiyue City, met He Lanyi, and saluted: "Master Assistant Prime Minister!"
He Lanyi didn't waste much time and asked directly: "Where is Zuo Fengyuan?"
Song Zheng said: "Mr. Zuoge is protecting the third prince outside Taiyue City. I wonder what the Assistant Prime Minister is going to do?"
He Lanyi said: "Now that the Holy Emperor has passed away, the crown prince and the second prince have also passed away, and Mr. Liang Ge has died at the hands of Gu Yuan. How can I be without a master for a day? Now that the jade seal of the country is here, we and the courtiers need to work together." Nominate one person to inherit the throne!"
"I really admire the fact that the Assistant Prime Minister is so experienced in planning the country!" As he spoke, the fourth prince Baili Xiyu rode the exotic purple-winged golden tiger, stopped in mid-air, and smiled at He Lanyi: "Since the Assistant Prime Minister has such a I mean, as a prince, I should inherit the legacy of my father and brother and lead the great cadres! Your Excellency, if you don’t remove the magic circle, I will conquer the jade seal and inherit the throne!"
Hearing this, He Lanyi remained silent. With a wave of his hand, all the officials behind him took away their official seals. The magic circle dispersed, and the national jade seal was suspended in the air, shining brightly.
Seeing He Lanyi like this, Song Zheng couldn't help but said anxiously: "Prime Minister, should I ask the Queen Mother for instructions first?"
Although Baili Longteng died, Queen Mother Gao Cuifeng was still there. Naturally, the Queen Mother should be consulted about the replacement of the throne and then implemented.
However, He Lanyi remained silent and just ordered the officials to retreat, not to block him, nor to step forward even half a step.
"The Assistant Prime Minister is truly the hero of two dynasties and the pillar of my great cause!"
Baili Xiyu laughed loudly, and wanted to step forward to collect the jade seal. However, just as he was about to step forward, he was knocked back by a palm force. A figure stood in the void, blocking Baili Xiyu's face. It was Si Li. Gao He, the eunuch in charge of the seal.
Gao He said with a smile: "Fourth Prince, Your Majesty has left a decree of succession long ago, and it has been kept in our hands for safekeeping. As a prince, the Fourth Prince must still act in accordance with His Majesty's orders!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Baili Xiyu's eyes, and then she said with a smile: "What Eunuch Gao said is absolutely true, but I wonder where my father's last edict is now?"
Gao He said: "Your Majesty's posthumous edict is in the Yuxi Palace. Please be patient and wait for the four princes to wait for the civil and military officials and the Queen Mother to go to Yuxi Palace together to ask for the edict to confirm the rule!"
Baili Xiyu nodded, then rode a purple-winged golden tiger and slowly approached Gao He, smiling and saying: "Eunuch Gao has worked hard and served his father for so many years. I think it should be..."
Before he finished speaking, Baili Xiyu suddenly punched Gao He, who was unsuspecting in the chest. The punch was filled with fire. Gao He spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed and almost fell to the ground.
"Have a good rest!"
Baili Xiyu smiled coldly, swung the purple-winged golden tiger's big claw from her crotch, and knocked Gao He down, creating a huge crater.
"Godfather!"
Zhao Yu and Zhang Mo hurriedly ran out, helped Gao He up, and glared at Baili Xiyu: "Fourth Prince, what do you mean?"
Baili Xi said: "You bunch of slaves still want to use some unfounded edict to blackmail this prince. How can I be deceived?"
As he spoke, Baili Xiyu took a step forward and reached out to grab the Zhenguo Jade Seal. Unexpectedly, before he could catch it, a force rushed forward and shook him to one side.
Baili Xiyu turned around and saw that it was Ye Ling!
Ye Ling's wooden sword is in his hand. Although he wears it on his body, his sharpness has not weakened even a little bit. Beside him, there was Hua Xinfeng following him, his face full of vigilance.
Previously, Ye Ling, Lai and others left the small world and came to the outside of Taiyue City. When Wei Xunhuan and Mo Luren saw that the catastrophe was over, they said goodbye: "The matter here is over, it's time for us to leave."
Lan was speechless, Ye Ling cupped his hands and said: "See you later!"
Wei Xunhuan smiled when he heard this and said: "You should be considered a righteous person, why do you want to have a date with us?"
Ye Ling said: "As you said, it's hard to distinguish between good and evil, but it all depends on your own heart. I can't tell the difference between good and evil. I just have to do things with a clear conscience. If we don't mean to harm each other, can we be friends? "
Wei Xunhuan said with a smile: "You want to be friends with me, but you are not charming enough. Do something that only you can do, and then talk about friendship with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of fragrant wind blew over his face, and Hua Xinfeng disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mo Luren said with a smile: "Senior brother has such a temper, don't take offense to it. Although we are disciples of the Seven Emotions Sect, we have not done anything that kills people. If we meet again in the future, we will be friends!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
After the two left, Hua Xinfeng said to Ye Ling: "It's time for us to leave too. We can't stay in Taiyue City for a long time."
Ye Ling asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Hua Xinfeng said: "Now that Baili Longteng is dead and the Daqian Dynasty is leaderless, there will inevitably be another struggle for power. As outsiders, we should not continue to get involved."
Unexpectedly, Lai on the side suddenly laughed and said: "The human race has just survived the catastrophe. Instead of being grateful that someone stepped forward to save them, they can't wait to start killing each other again. This is really interesting. What do you think? Are people afraid of death or not?"
Hua Xinfeng was speechless, looked at Ye Ling and said, "Come with me, my father wants to see you."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ye Ling saw the fourth prince Baili Xiyu appearing on the wall of Taiyue City.
He suddenly thought of the conversation he had with his eldest brother Xu Zheng:
Ye Ling said to Xu Zheng: "The Daqian Dynasty is in chaos, the princes are fighting for power, and Baili Longteng is killing all living beings. Why should I cling to my official position? Why don't I leave as soon as possible!"
Xu Zheng shook his head and said: "Second brother, don't just look at the appearance and ignore the inner truth. Although there are many parties in Daqian, there is no chaos. The princes fight, but there is little conflict. What you see is just what others see. It’s just what I want you to see!”
Ye Ling was puzzled and asked: "Isn't all this the work of Baili Qingfeng and the Liang family, or the instruction of Baili Longteng?"
Xu Zheng said: "You are only suitable for practicing Taoism, don't enter this official career. I don't want to say more, but I want to tell you that these princes are not as simple as you think, especially the four princes you have never seen before." Prince, Baili Xiyu!"
"Baili Xiyu!"
Xu Zheng's words were still in his ears. Thinking of this, Ye Ling headed towards Taiyue City regardless of Hua Xinfeng's obstruction.
"Ye Zi you..."
Hua Xinfeng had no choice but to follow him. Ye Ling was injured and he was afraid that something might go wrong.
Lai looked at the two of them silently and said, "It looks like it's going to be another good show!"
