"However, in my eyes, I don't care. Mr. Kong Rui, you are the one who is asking to die! "
Along with the voice was a silver-armored middle-aged man. He held a red tasseled spear and walked over in the night sky.
The red flames lit up the entire Jinling City like it was daytime. It also dyed the silver armor on his body red.
He gave off a majestic aura and from a thousand feet away, the spear intent had locked onto Kong Rui's soul. That pound of Qi suppressed the Temple of Heaven even more firmly.
"So the reason why you're causing trouble at night is actually because of me!"
Kong Rui was enlightened. The dozens of fires were just to draw the attention of the Da Qian and Cang Shengdao Kenzō Sect experts away.
And these people's target was him, Kong Rui, from beginning to end.
He didn't feel nervous at all. However, after thinking about it, he still didn't understand, "For me alone, such a price, it doesn't seem worth it?"
The dozens of houses on fire seemed simple. However, under the Gan Army's tight defense, who knew how many connections the person opposite him used? How many experts were sacrificed?
As for him, he was just a small Imperial Astronomer and was of no use to Jinling City's defenses.
Mingri Xuan's lips curled up, thinking to himself that the person involved couldn't see clearly.
That silver-armored middle-aged man casually explained, "How is it not worth it? With Mr. Kong Rui. I think your daughter will think about the future of the two of you at Hundred Victory Pass! "
Kong Rui was stunned. So, it was for Kong Yao. He nearly forgot about that. Looking at the situation, they wanted to capture him to threaten Yao 'er.
This move really hit the nail on the head.
With Yao 'er's personality, she definitely wouldn't betray Zong Shou. However, if anything happened to him, she would feel guilty and might even follow him.
He was slightly furious but he calmed down. Instead, he felt that it was really preposterous.
"Why? What benefits does your Yang Family gain by rebelling? If you return to Taishang rule, will that Yin Yu Emperor allow you to do anything? You should know the current Taishang political situation. On the contrary, our Da Qian didn't make things difficult for your Yang Family. The outcome of the battle between Shanghai and Gan has yet to be decided. Marquis Yuening, don't you think your actions today are risky? "
His title in Taishang two thousand years ago was Marquis Yuening and his name was Yang Sheng. He was one of the core members of the Yang family in Jiangnan.
The silver-armored middle-aged man walked over step by step, and a series of cracking sounds came from the spiritual barrier outside the Heaven Altar.
Although there was a protective array near the Temple of Heaven, it was only set up in case of an emergency. In front of a Saint-level expert like him, it was like a thin piece of paper. He tore it apart effortlessly.
"Never made things difficult for you? What a nice 'never made things difficult for you'! "
Marquis Yuening's face was full of mockery, "Ever since the Da Qian took over, our Yang Family's territory has been reduced by seventy percent. Ninety percent of the children of officials were dismissed. The various shops are also struggling to operate. Is this what you mean by not making things difficult for them? As for Taishang, since Emperor Yuanchen wants our Yang Family to help, then naturally we have a promise and we need to pay a price … "
Kong Rui couldn't help but frown, "Sharing land is our Da Qian policy! However, we aren't forcefully taking it, but buying it at the same price. Our finances are limited, so we are just delaying it. His Majesty has always kept his promises and is respected as the Saint Ruler. How would he break his promise to you? As for being dismissed, don't take out those spoiled children of your family to embarrass themselves. In the future, the people will take over. With your Yang Family's reputation and strength, it is easy. As for business, there is no way. Your Yang Family is used to being arrogant. Officials and merchants working together to do proper business, naturally you are at a loss. You need to change to some truly talented people … "
"Shut up!"
Yang Sheng hollered coldly and forcefully interrupted Kong Rui's words.
"No matter how nicely you say it, if this goes on, our Yang Family will fall apart in a few hundred years! It is just a matter of time. Your Majesty Yuanchen has already taken control of the 12 Copper Men, so why must our Yang Family wait for death? "
Kong Rui was instantly speechless. This Yuening Marquis really hit the nail on the head.
Zong Shou's method was to use a soft knife to cut meat. These aristocratic families might be able to survive at the start.
However, a few hundred years later, they would all disappear.
"You can't answer?"
Yang Sheng took another step forward and was only a hundred feet away from the altar.
Only the last spiritual barrier was still blocking in front of him.
"Actually, why do you need to persuade me? Since we have already clashed, our Yang Family and Da Qian have no room for negotiation. If Kong Rui is willing to surrender and not cause trouble. I can guarantee that unless I have no choice, I won't harm you. "
Just as he said that, he saw Kong Rui shake his head with a weird expression. Then, he looked opposite at the weird cultivator who was wearing a red feather robe.
Just as he was thinking about who this person was, looking at his dressing, he seemed to be a necromancer.
Kong Rui asked, "Do you know the identity of the person in front of me?"
Before Yang Sheng replied, Kong Rui answered on his own, "This person is called Mingri Xuan, an ancient legendary necromancer. His achievements are only below Xufu's. However, in terms of divination, he is the top person 10,000 years ago. I think Yuening Marquis has heard of him before? "
Yang Sheng's expression slowly turned cold. Mingri Xuan, other people might not know about him, but he who came from one of the five aristocratic families knew about him.
This person in front of him was really Mingri Xuan, so why was he here?
However, he heard Kong Rui laugh, "Sir, you are interested in joining the Gan Dynasty. He wants to use the position of Grand Teacher to protect you. I have already agreed to recommend him … "
His smile had no warmth at all. Naturally, he didn't panic at all, just mocking intent.
Yang Sheng was shocked. Mingri Xuan? Grand Teacher?
Legend had it that Mingri Xuan was the top divination expert in the world.
8,000 years ago, he predicted the future and deduced the past and pretty much never made a mistake.
This was why he was so famous and shocked the five continents of the Cloud World.
Such a person would naturally be able to discern between good and bad, and foresee both good and bad fortune. However, at this moment … He wanted to join the Gan Dynasty, to join the Da Qian Dynasty which was facing internal and external problems. What was the reason for this?
Oh right! Apart from divination, this person's strength was also amazing before the Cloud Desolate Era! He was pretty much the same as top Saint Realm experts like Xufu and Long Ying!
Since this person was here, then he …
Then, the cultivator in the feathered robe and star crown turned his head with a weird expression.
"Is your Yang Family a bunch of fools?"
A short sentence caused Yang Sheng's heart to race. It wasn't just this sentence. The surrounding aura had also suddenly become viscous.
Spiritual Energy was restless and the energy cycle was close to breaking.
This was the Fate Dao!
Yang Sheng's pupils constricted. He instinctively thought back to what his Grand Uncle had said when he described the Fate God Art.
… If one was unlucky, one could even choke to death when drinking water!
At this moment, the Flawless Celestial Power in his body was close to going out of control.
What should have been the most impossible situation had actually occurred in his body.
All of a sudden, he was unable to move and could only look forwards in a daze.
"As you said, they really don't know their place! With His Majesty's personality, this Jiangnan Family is going to be wiped out? "
Mingri Xuan's words sounded like they were just an aristocratic family. It was like they didn't exist anymore.
"That might not be the case!"
Kong Rui laughed. He didn't think much of it, "His Majesty follows the law, especially the laws he set himself. He won't casually drag them down and won't deal with them. However, since it is a crime of treason, then no matter what happens to the Yang Family. Other people won't be able to say anything. "
"Laws? In other words, as long as they are his people, they won't go against his laws. Then, no matter how they offend him, they will be fine? "
Mingri Xuan was deep in thought. Seeing Kong Rui smile and not speak, he knew the answer. He instantly laughed.
"Even the few ancient Saint Emperors didn't have such magnanimity! No wonder he is the Saint Ruler of the world. "
He sighed, "What a waste. Actually, they were just a few days away and the outcome wasn't decided yet, so they jumped out. Even if they dragged on for a while, they could have asked for more. However, a single mistake would cause the destruction of their family. The entire Yang Family is so dumb … "
Yang Sheng was furious when he heard this but he couldn't do anything. His Spiritual Sense couldn't control the aura around his body.
Not only within his body, but the Celestial Power in his body clashed and became more and more intense. It was the same even within his soul. His Dao Foundations shook and his Soul Ocean shook.
Slowly, several streaks of blood appeared in his seven orifices.
Kong Rui was surprised and looked at the other side in confusion.
Mingri Xuan was really calm and said casually, "You know that what I cultivate is the ancient Heaven Predicting Luck Technique?"
Seeing Kong Rui nod his head, Mingri Xuan continued, "Fate Predicting is my specialty. So, Shenwu 1st year, 14th day, Jinling Heaven Altar, Taishang Yuening Marquis Yang Sheng died due to his Dao Foundations! "
The moment he said that, a large ball of blood exploded out from Yang Sheng's mouth and nose.
Kong Rui was slightly distracted. He knew that Mingri Xuan was one of the top experts in the world, half a step to End Realm.
His strength was just below End Realm.
However, Yang Sheng was at least Initial Saint Realm. To become a Saint in 3,000 years, his talent wasn't weak.
However, in front of Mingri Xuan, how could he not be able to fight back at all?
He was pretty much deciding life and death. Even those End Realm Saint Venerables probably didn't have such ability.
Was it a blessing or a curse for him to lead this person into Da Qian?
"Don't think too much, I am just following the situation!"
Seemingly seeing what Kong Rui was thinking, Mingri Xuan explained in a concise manner.
"This person only has seven days of lifespan left. It's just that in my hands, I managed to bring forward the time of his death. Didn't Kong Jianzheng say that it might not be going against the heavens to do whatever one wants in Jiangnan? Mingri Xuan used this person's life to try and it really ended up like that. The loss of lifespan isn't much … "
Kong Rui's eyes lit up, "Then, in other words …"
Mingri Xuan nodded, "The Taishang will die in seven days, so this Yang Sheng will die too! Anyway, Yin Yu doesn't have much time left. However, I don't know how Your Majesty will use it! "
Yang Sheng listened on from the side and his chest was filled with shock!
The Taishang would die in seven days, so he would die in seven days? How was that possible?
The Yang Family also had people who were good at reading the stars. However, the results were totally different from the two of them.
At this moment, Emperor Yuanchen should be at his peak! (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.)
