"Wise and valiant? That might not be the case … "
Jin Buhui shook his head disapprovingly, "If he was wise and valiant, he wouldn't send troops at such a time! His Majesty is old and Zhu Zi is a fool who only cares about the Confucian Faction! "
The expressions of everyone present changed. They didn't expect that Jin Buhui would be so bold.
"What nonsense are you spouting? His Majesty has ruled for a hundred years and turned the tides, allowing our Taishang to rise up. Who in the world isn't grateful? Is that something you can discuss? "
"His Majesty is the Saint Ruler and can see thousands of miles …"
"Saint Ruler?"
Jin Buhui broke out into a laugh and looked outside the city at those numb refugees, "Whether or not he is the Saint Ruler isn't something you can say! Is this what the Saint Ruler did? Clothes can't be warm and food can't be full. Is this considered ruling the world? "
That green-robed prince was still laughing coldly, his eyes filled with a teasing intent, "So, in your eyes, His Majesty is a muddle-headed Ruler. That Da Qian Army Zong Shou is the true wise Ruler? "
Jin Buhui was stunned and looked at this person. However, his eyes were filled with mocking intent, was this a trap? They wanted to kill him, Jin Buhui!
If he replied, then no matter if Emperor Yuanchen won or lost, he wouldn't be able to live.
Even the Confucian Faction wouldn't let him off.
However, so what? What did he have to fear?
"When his Majesty was young, he might have been a valiant Ruler. However, now he is old and muddle-headed! Although the Da Qian Ruler ruled a barbarian land. However, in 10 years, the people got rich. He didn't pick up lost things on the road and didn't close his doors at night. Although he expanded a hundred million miles, he didn't harm the people. He is a true Ruler, a Saint Ruler descending! "
The people within the carriage were all in an uproar.
"Preposterous!"
"A person who is prepared to burn books and destroy Confucianism to wipe out our Confucian Faction. In your eyes, he is actually a Ruler, a Saint King?"
"Where does he place my Confucian Faction, where does he place my Zhu Zi?"
"This kid wrote a letter earlier, saying that the aristocratic families are too strong and have too many talents. Initially, he thought that he was a knowledgeable and upright gentleman. Who would have thought that this person and Zong Shou are jackals of the same tribe! "
"This Jin Buhui is crazy!"
"Behead! Only by putting this person to death by a thousand cuts will we be able to face the truth! "
"No wonder Lord Zuoxin posted a few days ago that he wanted to expel him from the sect. How can such a person be worthy of joining my sect? "
"Sinner of Ming Sect!"
"Zuo Xiantai really misjudged him!"
Jin Buhui was startled. So Zuoxin had already expelled him from the sect? Then, he couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't this expected?
"Hahaha! The ruler of the Da Qian Country, Zong Shou, is an ancient hero? "
That green-robed young master laughed out loud, his eyes filled with pride. "But the so-called hero you speak of is about to start a war in the southern border. He spent billions to build a Jiuchi Ghost Palace in the south of Min River. He searched for beauties from various races to fill up the palace and even built that wine pool and meat forest. It was said that he had endless fun every day. He is just a barbaric ruler and actually dares to compare to the ancient Saint Lake? "
"Jiuchi Palace?"
Jin Buhui was stunned. Wine pool and meat forest, with that Zong Shou's personality, he would most probably do such a thing. However, that was definitely not possible. It was during a war to decide the rule of the Cloud World!
Speaking of which, was this a trap by Zong Shou? That fellow definitely wouldn't do such a boring thing.
He was shocked. Jin Buhui wanted to get up but was restricted by the chains.
Only then did he realize that he wasn't that Imperial Censor Deputy who could write a letter to the heavens.
Moreover, even if he wrote a letter to the Taishang Emperor, it would take dozens of days.
With Emperor Yuanchen's personality, he most probably wouldn't bother.
"What a joke!"
Jin Buhui laughed, but it was like he was crying.
"I will still say the same thing. If the Taishang wins this battle, then my eyes will be destroyed." "If they win, then they will dig out my eyes!"
His voice was really sharp. At this moment, even the Yang surnamed Young Master was shocked.
Then, like everyone else, he shook his head. This person had indeed gone mad — —
※ ※ ※
At dawn, Zong Shou woke up from his meditation. The God Refined Sword was still floating in front of him, but it didn't have the sharp killing intent from a few days ago.
It didn't disappear, but it was retracted. What replaced it was an aura that suppressed one's life source. It was even more dangerous and hard to measure.
In the end, he succeeded. He successfully turned the Massacring Sword Intent into Slaying!
In this battle, the few End Realm Experts were restricting one another and it would be tough for them to interfere. They could only rely on both sides to win on the battlefield.
To vent the killing intent in his heart, he could only rely on his Sword Path.
Unfortunately, although this Slaying Sword Intent was at Late Spirit Realm, it was unable to merge the Killing and Slaying Sword Intent into one.
Unfortunately, the God Refined Sword had to merge into the Sword Formation and most probably couldn't be used. As for the second soul, the Illusionary Spirit One Sword, it was in Chen Yuexuan's hands and hadn't been fully cultivated.
At this moment, there wasn't enough time and it seemed like he wouldn't be able to make any more progress.
Things in the world were just like that, nothing was perfect.
Keeping the God Refined Sword, Zong Shou saw Kong Yao in silver armor. She stood quietly beside him, looking at him in a daze.
Sōmorime's eyes lit up and then he smiled, "What are you looking at? Are you smitten with your husband?"
"How shameless!"
Kong Yao came to her senses and scoffed. She said solemnly, "An hour ago, the Taishang Army arrived outside the palace! That Emperor Yuanchen is among them. "
Zong Shou sensed it long ago. An hour ago. This area was completely locked down by a spiritual formation that was set up at the last minute. A total of nineteen Saint Realm experts had locked down this area of space.
End Realm strength, both sides weren't far apart. Da Qian could barely go up against them.
However, in terms of Saint Realm, Cang Shengdao and the Kenzō Sect were much weaker.
This was even after the three factions each lost a few Saint Realm Experts to use the Thousand Mile Movement Technique.
If that wasn't the case, the three sects would only be stronger.
This was also the reason why the Taishang and Confucian Faction dared to come so far to surround and kill Zong Shou.
Since End Realm and Saint Realm Experts couldn't win, then they would deal with those below.
They would then use the absolute advantage of the Dao Soldiers to surround and kill Zong Shou here.
An hour later, be it the enemy or their side, they would have formed up.
"How many came?"
"A full 800,000! Close to half of them are Dao Soldiers, close to double our numbers! "
A weird expression flashed across Kong Yao's face. The number of Great Shang's troops was far greater than she had imagined.
However, this also meant that if they won this battle, they could totally break the spine of the Taishang!
Zong Shou sucked in a cold breath. 800,000, the three factions and the Taishang really went all out.
Just the Mind Stones consumed was enough for him to use the Book of Eon for 100 years.
Luckily, the actual combat strength gap wasn't that far.
"Let's head out of the palace to take a look!"
At this moment, the Emperor was heading out, so it was too embarrassing to drive the sword alone. There was a ready-made imperial carriage in the palace, as well as a full set of ceremonial guards.
It was still really extravagant. Who knows how much money Zhang Huai spent on it.
The moment he walked out, he felt killing intent charge into the clouds. A full million people lined up here, giving off a majestic aura. Looking out, one could see vital energy gathering into a pillar and charging into Heaven and Earth.
Zong Shou instinctively thought back to the Peng City battle with Xiang Yu when he took in the Avici Throne.
The battlefield in front of him had an ancient aura that wasn't any weaker.
The jade carriage hung a thousand feet above the ground and one could easily look down on the entire battlefield.
The Shang army had 450 thousand Dao Soldiers. 250 thousand Yellow Grade and 200 thousand Xuan Grade Iron Cavalry. The rest were all elites chosen from the Taishang border army. They were mostly Grade Three Peak. At least 20% of them were Grade Four and above.
The troops under him weren't much weaker, close to 200 thousand Dao Soldiers.
The rest weren't any weaker than the enemy elites.
Zong Shou looked out and was attracted by the thin left wing of his side.
"Only 30 thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry to go against the right wing?"
On the right, apart from the 65 thousand Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry, there were close to 20 thousand Xuan Grade Iron Cavalry from various aristocratic families. There were also 100 thousand Elite Cavalry.
They could be said to be one against six!
Zong Yuan was holding a blood-colored halberd as he stood quietly in front of the army.
He seemed to be able to go up against ten thousand alone.
Zong Shou scratched his head and released the little puppy. The latter looked down with a lost expression. However, when it saw the 70 thousand Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts, its eyes squinted and disdain appeared in its eyes.
Then, it didn't bother, jumping into Zong Shou's embrace like a puppy and licking his face. It smelled Zong Shou's scent and its face was filled with enjoyment.
Zong Shou was speechless and could only let it do as it wished.
He felt weird, this puppy lived on the good energy of the world. Did he do something wrong? It caused a lot of good energy to gather in the king.
Within the energy of the Dao?
Was it the battle with the Taishang?
As expected! He was using the Dao to attack those who weren't, winning the hearts of the people.
Thinking about that, he saw that the faces of the soldiers below were all filled with nervousness.
They were all sneaking glances in the direction of the left wing, feeling uneasy. Although they were barely able to maintain their calmness, their eyes were filled with hesitation.
Zong Shou instantly understood and knew that these people were worried that the left wing was too weak and would be crushed in one strike.
One didn't need much strategic talent to be able to see that. Even the famous Blood Cloud Cavalry couldn't be the opponent of three times their number of Blood Grade Dao Soldiers.
If it wasn't for Kong Yao and his prestige, these people would have lost their fighting spirit.
Zong Shou was stunned, he neglected this point before the battle. It seemed like it was best to use this trump card early.
There were also people who turned their heads and looked at the vast palace. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was one of disapproval. He was even a little pained.
A portion of them looked at the majestic army opposite, fear appearing in their eyes.
Zong Shou sighed and was a little worried, "Is this because the army has no fighting spirit?"
Kong Yao shook her head, "That is the only way. However, it might not be because they have no fighting spirit!"
Zong Shou didn't agree or disagree, continuing to look on. The right wing was the Moyang Sword, 50,000 common people mysterious dragon warriors and 35,000 Moyang Sword Cavalry. They were the strongest, but they were led by a general that Zong Shou didn't recognize.
The middle army had 400,000 heavy armored elites. The one leading them was Ren Tianxing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
