Golden flames burned and lit up 1,000 miles of land. At this moment, Xiaori was like a small sun hanging in mid-air.
Zong Shou only felt an extremely pure Yang Power inject over and cover his body. It caused the dark and cold evil energy to instantly reduce by 40%!
However, the red jade necklace still shattered. This was why the Evil Energy stabbed into his heart like a needle.
The moment it entered his body, Zong Shou heard the sound of a Dragon and Phoenix clashing. It was like the roar of the Will of Heaven and Earth.
Then, a pure white pillar of Qi soared out from his body.
Not only did it cause the Yin and Evil Energy to collapse, but it also spread 770 feet into the clouds. It caused the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth to float.
Around this pillar of air, there were giant dragons and colorful phoenixes flying around.
"This is … a Qilin?"
The Yin Yang Heart Needle Curse was broken and Zhongxuan suffered a backlash. He spat out a mouthful of black blood. His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief.
"Saint King Energy, Dragon and Phoenix clashing. You are the Saint Ruler? How is that possible? How is that possible? You are the enemy of the Confucians, the Ruler of the Nanman Country. You didn't govern for seven years and acted so preposterously. You didn't follow the rules and didn't care about respect. I don't believe it … "
He muttered to himself. His skin was turning grey at a visible rate.
He said that he didn't believe it but Zhongxuan knew that Zong Shou was invulnerable to evil and was protected by the Heaven Path.
If he wasn't the Saint Ruler, how would things end up like this?
Daoist Master Yuntai had lost half of his body, but now he had recovered a little. Chu Xue had the Blood Moon Blade and her combat strength was comparable to Saint Realm but she still wasn't his match. After he calmed down, he started to turn the situation around.
Seeing the situation, Yuntai couldn't help but sigh.
"Qilin beside him, Saint Energy covering the body, as expected from the Saint Ruler …"
Before this, he was informed by Qing Xuan through his mind. However, it wasn't as shocking as personally witnessing it!
He also noticed that the number of times he sighed bitterly today exceeded the total number of times he had spent in the past 1,000 years.
Liu Li's face was dark and sunken like water was about to drip out. He looked towards Zong Shou, his eyes were dark and sunken.
He felt really preposterous! This Daoless Master, who went against the teachings of the Confucian School, was actually a Sage recognized by the heavens and earth. Was this the Heaven Path Will of the Cloud World rejecting the teachings of the Confucian Faction?
At the same time, doubts arose in his heart. Was what he was doing right now right or wrong?
Perhaps Sage Zhu Zi had been a little too arbitrary back then and had acted too rashly.
Even if this person said that he wanted to wipe out Confucianism, there was no need to be so anxious to make a Ruler the enemy of Confucianism.
Shou Shou Shou Shou Shou Shou Lin thought. He didn't think too much about it, and he didn't recognize what the Saint Ruler Qi was, or what the Dragon and Phoenix Cry was.
It wasn't until a moment later that he realized that the exotic beast wrapped in flames was the legendary auspicious beast, the Qilin.
"That brat is actually the Sacred Lord …"
Only at this moment did he finally understand why the sixty thousand plus Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry of the Dao Sect would lose control of their mounts and be completely annihilated.
Why were the attitudes of Snow House and Yuntai so weird? They were sure that Zhongxuan's Yin Yang Heart Needle Curse would be useless.
He had indeed heard that the Three Ancient Emperors of the Cloud Desolate Era had the Body of a Sage Monarch.
After being stunned for a moment, Yin Yu's face immediately flushed red.
Jealousy. Dissatisfaction, envy, confusion, all kinds of complicated emotions rushed into his heart.
"This world is unfair!"
He, Yin Yu, was diligent and tireless. He had ruled the country for a hundred years and had never missed a single morning court session. However, this Zong Shou didn't care about politics, pushing all administrative matters to the officials.
He followed the rules and followed the teachings of the Confucian Faction. He treated the scholars well and didn't dare to make any mistakes. He fought with aristocratic families, with officials, with the six factions. To maintain the fate of the country, he pretty much spent all his effort.
However, this Zong Shou lived a carefree life, passing all his power to others. He knew that there were many sects and merchants, but he didn't suppress them. Instead, he supported them.
It caused the sects in the country to be strong, many martial cultivators, and numerous merchants, leaving many problems.
How could they be compared to him? Why was this Zong Shou able to obtain the recognition of Heaven and Earth and be filled with Saint Energy? As for him, Yin Yu, he could only struggle bitterly. After today's battle, the country was showing signs of collapsing?
His face was ashen white. Black blood flowed from the corner of Yin Yu's lips.
At this moment, the entire battlefield suddenly quietened down. It was not only the Qian army that had stopped fighting.
Even the remaining hundreds of thousands of Taishang soldiers stopped and stopped resisting, raising their heads and looking into the sky.
"What about the Qilin? Did I see wrongly? "
"Qilin! The legendary auspicious beast Qilin … "
"Born from eating good energy. Only in a prosperous era when the Saint Ruler is on the throne can it appear! Everywhere it passes, the weather will be good and the world will have a huge harvest. "
"My Ruler actually has a Saint Beast Qilin?"
"In legends, didn't only the three ancient emperors have one? Which is why those Confucian Faction scholars keep saying that they want to restore the rule of the three ancient emperors! They say that is when the human race of the Cloud World was at its peak … "
At the start, it was only some people who were discussing in whispers. Not long later, it spread to the entire army.
"Speaking of which, that Zhu Zi from the Confucian Faction said that the Ruler is a tyrant, a muddle-headed ruler! Going against the flow, messing with the rules, is he just spouting nonsense? "
"That is true! They say that he is the enemy of the Confucians, but the Ruler has done so many bad things! "
"How can his highness be a muddle-headed ruler? The people of the world were all cheated by those Confucians! "
"Tell me, is Sage Zhu Zi wrong, or is it the world's fault?"
"The Ruler is ruling the country, all the cities directly under our Donglin are all full and warm. My family's income is a full fifteen to sixteen times more than before! Although it is a little expensive to buy things, it is much better than before. "
"In the past, there were many wars in Donglin and we didn't even have enough to eat. However, after his majesty unified Donglin, the riches of the cities are something that even the Central Cloud Continent people are envious of. "
"Who knows how many merchants came to Da Qian to live in the chaos of the Central Cloud Continent. It is obviously what the people want … "
"After his majesty took the throne, he was invincible, expanding a hundred million miles. The country is prosperous and the people are at peace."
"This is the work of Minister Ren and Concubine Yao, right?"
"To have so many good officials working for Da Qian, isn't he a saint ruler?"
"I heard that his majesty has expanded seventy-six worlds and built the Da Qian Celestial Dynasty. He is really ambitious … "
"Our Da Qian merchants are building cloud ships and are prepared to expand their business to the outer region! At that time, our lives will be more prosperous. "
The entire battlefield went from silence to uproar in just an instant. At this moment, the people at the front of the Da Qian army noticed that many of the enemies in front of them had placed down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
"The Shang army actually surrendered …"
"This battle is already a hopeless situation, so what if they don't surrender?"
"They are fighting an unjust battle to suppress the Saint Ruler. They are going against the Heaven and Earth. Even if they die, they won't be able to leave Hell!"
"Since he is the Saint Ruler, naturally, he won't treat them badly!"
"The Ruler is victorious today and will sweep the Cloud World and crush the Taishang. He will set a foundation that won't change! If I were them, I would also surrender to the Ruler. To work for the Saint King and expand our territory! "
More and more Shang Ruler soldiers totally gave up on resisting. Their weapons and armor were all thrown to the ground. It even affected the two hundred thousand Dao Soldiers of the aristocratic families.
"Have you all heard about the oath that the Ruler made in the Common People's Vast Habitat a few months ago?"
"There is actually such a thing? I have never heard of it before. "
"I have heard of it … Although I am the Ruler chosen by the people, I know that water can sink a boat but it can also carry it. This is why I give the people power to rule. Under my rule, there is a difference between rich and poor, a difference between strong and weak, but there is no difference between noble and lowly. I use the law to rule the country such that the strong won't bully the weak. The Ruler is the same as the people, if you break the law, you will be killed! "
"… I can't equalize the rich and the poor, I can't balance the power, but I swear to rule the people equally! I swear to protect the people of the world! "
"I will hold this sword and swear to become the Heaven Emperor! I will become the Ruler of the Thirty-Three Skies, the Emperor of the people! The Ruler of the Ten Thousand Celestials! Under my rule, no matter what race, people, celestials, we will all be treated equally! I might not be able to create a truly equal world, but I can rule the people, a fair world, and just laws … "
"As the Ruler of the Da Qian Country, I will use this sword to protect the people of the Cloud World from being enslaved by the outside races and not let them suffer the calamity of war during the Cloud Desolate Era …"
Everyone listened quietly, engraving each and every word in their hearts.
"Ruler of the Thirty-Three Skies, Emperor of the people? Ruler of ten thousand celestials? Jun Shang is so bold! "
"Using laws to rule the country, such that the strong won't bully the weak. The Ruler and the people are the same, if they break the laws then they will be beheaded? If he can do that, then he is a Saint Ruler that is hard to see in ten million years. "
"Even today, our Da Qian isn't that bad! The officials are all elected by the people. Now, which noble dares to ignore us commoners? "
"To be able to be born in this era and follow the Ruler to expand our territory, sweep the Cloud World, and even conquer the outer regions, it is really our fortune!"
"Since the Ruler has made such a vow, then we will hug him to the death! We will go through fire and water, we won't hesitate to die! "
They were all filled with emotions, unable to control themselves.
"I remember that the Ruler also said that the Confucians have harmed people, too many to record. The doctrine of hiding from one another is harmful to the laws of the country. Who knows, maybe one day they will burn books and bury Confucians. "
"Hiding from one another? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. "
"Scoff! Hiding from one another, naturally the officials can protect one another. If this goes on and the laws of the country don't exist, how can we live? "
"Speaking of which, the Confucians are afraid which is why they treat the Ruler as the enemy of the Confucians?"
"That Zhu Zi didn't expect the Ruler to be the Saint Ruler of the world, right?"
The people below were in deep discussion. Xue Lai's face was ashen white.
The discussions of the people showed that they were all against one another and couldn't be underestimated.
Zong Shou took in a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
