"Even the Jiuxuan Back to Hiding God Asking Lightning was useless. He actually has a pure and righteous body, a true Saint! Then, why did we do what we did today? "
"Pure and righteous? Haha, what a joke, what a joke! Even the three ancient Saint Emperors wouldn't be able to survive the tribulation power of the Jiuxuan Back to Hiding God Asking Lightning. Preposterous, preposterous … "
"Since the Qian Emperor is a Saint Ruler, then what are we? The Da Qian policies and our Confucian teachings are totally different. However, in these 10 years, a prosperous era has appeared. The old are taken care of, the young have someone to rely on, the country is prosperous and the people are safe. Within the capital, everyone is living a luxurious life. Even the three ancient dynasties weren't as good as this! "
"Were we really wrong? The 16,000-year teachings of the Confucian Faction all went down the wrong path?"
"That person is a Saint Ruler! He is recognized by Heaven and Earth, a Saint who is perfectly fine under the Jiuxuan Back to Hiding God Asking Lightning! He is flawless, pure and righteous. How can it be that person who is wrong … "
"The one who is wrong isn't the Confucian Faction but the Confucian Faction!"
This voice rang out amidst the chaos and instantly suppressed everything else. It was so loud that the entire Confucian Temple was deathly silent.
The one who was wrong wasn't the Confucian Faction but the Confucian Faction!
The Confucian Faction was passed down by the three Saints and was recognized by Heaven and Earth. Naturally, their eyes wouldn't be wrong.
If the Confucian Faction wanted to continue, then the one who was wrong could only be someone else …
Zhu Zi's face turned green but he didn't scold them. His prestige had already been shaken. Unless Zong Shou died, then there was no way to salvage the situation.
At this moment, he was startled as he looked in the direction of the Fenghua Palace. Twenty thousand streams of Righteous Energy still covered the sky. However, at this moment, under Zong Shou's pure white King Energy, it wasn't as strong as before, sweeping away all evil and suppressing everything.
"This is the outcome you wanted?"
Zong Shou stood proudly in the air. He first took in a deep breath before he sighed.
Although his gaze was wandering, he was looking straight ahead. However, Zhu Xi clearly knew that Zong Shou's words were directed at him.
"It's a pity that the heavens don't bless you! I am lucky to be unharmed by the Divine Firmament Core Seeking Lightning. "
As Zong Shou said this, he looked into the sky at the 20 thousand streaks of shaking Righteous Energy. His eyes were filled with mockery.
"On the other hand, don't you feel ashamed? Awe-Inspiring righteousness is born from the heart. Study hard, understand the ways of the world, understand the principles of the world. Therefore, he could guard his heart and hold onto the Dao, nurturing the righteousness in his chest. However, today, do you dare to say that you have a clear conscience? "
While he was speaking, the dragon roar and phoenix cry became increasingly powerful and clear.
Under the impact of the pure white King Qi, traces of black spots actually appeared within the vast white King Qi. It was like a piece of white paper that had been dyed in water, revealing the filth within.
Zong Shou instantly broke into a laugh and shook his head, "So, all of you aren't perfect in terms of morals and righteous people. In fact, he also had his own selfish desires and desires. He had also done evil things before. Since that is the case, then what right do all of you have to ask others to be pure and good, to follow the Confucian Faction rules and morals? As they say, if you don't want to, then don't force it on others. Let me ask all of you, have you truly done that? "
In just an instant, another few thousand streams of Righteous Qi spread out. Either they were too emotional and couldn't maintain it, or they felt ashamed and retracted it.
Zong Shou's voice continued.
"To spread the Dao, to kill me, a Ruler who has betrayed the Dao, you don't mind working with the Demon Faction, treating the eighteen million people in the Imperial City like dirt. Is this what your Confucian Faction does? It is only because my actions, the policies of the state, have deviated from the principles of your Confucian Sect. So, even if you sacrifice the lifespan of these eighteen million people, you still want me to be killed, right? Because in your eyes, Zhu Zi, the Confucian Faction principles and the continuation of your reputation are far above the lives of these people? Zhu Zi, you think that the world can't escape from the word 'reason', that no matter how big the world is, it can't be bigger than the word 'reason'. However, I don't know if what you are following is your own principles or the principles of the world? "
Zhu Zi's heart tightened, green veins popped up on his forehead. However, at this moment, he didn't know how to react.
That was because the person within the Fenghua Palace was a Saint! A Saint Ruler who was recognized by the Heavens and Earth!
So, no matter what Zong Shou said, he was right! No matter how Zhu Zi retorted, it was useless and powerless …
What's more, was his persistence really the right thing to do?
The moment such a thought rose up, Zhu Zi's Spiritual Sense started to shake.
It wasn't just his Dao Foundation that was shaking. Even the Righteous Qi outside his body was also showing traces of black Qi. It wasn't as majestic and majestic as before.
"Ah! So, even you, Zhu Zi, can't do that! Your heart has unspeakable thoughts, your body has desires that can't be suppressed. You have done things that you regret for the rest of your life and you can't follow your own principles. Is this what you meant by upholding the Heavens and destroying people's desires? In terms of being magnanimous, you aren't as good as my Brother … "
Along with his words, everyone noticed Jin Buhui. That dignified and righteous aura was also pure white and clean, without the slightest bit of impurity. At this moment, it was far better than Zhu Xi and the thirty thousand Confucians in the Imperial City.
Only Jin Buhui was still at a loss, not knowing what had happened.
Zong Shou laughed coldly, retracting the mocking intent in his words. He said calmly, "Since all of you aren't properly dressed, how can you be righteous? How can you educate the people? Do you dare to say that the Confucian Faction is the true path of Heaven and Earth? "
A simple sentence caused Zhu Zi in the Confucian Temple to explode. Vital energy surged in his chest and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was caused by his Essence Blood and was purple-gold in color. At this moment, Zhu Zi's aura was grey and he was close to dying.
At this moment, within the Imperial City, all the Confucian Temples, Imperial College, Censorate, and Hanlin Academy had their faces turned pale. All the Confucian Scholars' faces were ashen white.
20,000 feet away from the Imperial Reading Room, Qing Xuan was also at a loss as he looked on.
After a long while, he said with a stunned expression, "This Zhu Xi is finished. Unless the Gan Emperor or another Saint appears, the Confucian Faction is destined to fall …"
No matter whether this Zong Shou lived or died, it wouldn't change the fact that the Confucian Faction was about to fall.
That was because today, the teachings that the Confucian Faction had stuck to for 16,000 years were totally shaken by Zong Shou.
That was because he was the Saint of the world! Naturally, the Saint Path wasn't wrong.
Taihuang was thinking about the reason within. A moment later, he frowned, "Is it because of Taishi's Black Qilin? As long as he subdues it, there is a chance of the black and white good and evil. However, even with the Unlimited Beginning and End ability, he shouldn't be able to do that. Unless there was a higher-level Great Dao Divine Law as a medium. Is Zong Shou's foundation not the Unlimited Beginning and End … "
Xufu listened on from the side and couldn't help but squint. If it was purely the Unlimited Beginning and End, naturally, he couldn't cause the Good and Evil Qilins to coexist. Then, what other secrets did Zong Shou have?
Qing Xuan knew what Taihuang meant. If the lips were gone, the teeth would be cold. Taoist and Confucian Faction had worked together for 10,000 years and once one fell, the other would definitely find it tough.
However, even if he knew what he meant, Qing Xuan still shook his head, "This method is useless. So what if Zhu Zi knows the secrets within? People will only think that this is the will of the Heavens. If not, why would there be the God Cloud Path Seeking Lightning? Why would there be a Black and White Qilin protecting him? He and his body are all protected by the Heavens. "
Taihuang sucked in a cold breath, "Speaking of which, we have to kill this Zong Shou? I'm afraid that those thirty thousand Confucian scholars will become enemies with us. "
Qing Xuan smiled bitterly. To the Taoist Faction, that was really the case. They definitely couldn't allow Zong Shou to leave the Imperial City alive.
However, to Zhu Zi, no matter what, the Confucian Faction had to protect Zong Shou's life.
As long as Zong Shou was still alive and the Saint was still alive, then everything would be corrected and they would have a chance to prove themselves.
However, if Zong Shou died, then everything would be settled. The Confucian Faction would be split up.
In the eyes of the world, Zhu Zi, the Confucian Temple, and even the White Deer Cave Academy would only be seen as the culprits who killed the truly loyal subjects and colluded with the demonic cultivators to kill the living sage.
"Anyway, let's act according to the situation …"
Qing Xuan's gaze was really solemn. At this moment, the God Item that could allow Li Biexue to form the Dao and Xufu beside him weren't important anymore.
"His Majesty, the Shang Emperor, probably wants to kill this child even more than we do."
However, when he said those words, Qingxuan could see from the corner of his eyes that Xufu still had a smile on his face.
His heart sank and he couldn't help but think about it. Just what was Xu Fu relying on for him to be so confident?
At this moment, in the Imperial Reading Room, Yin Yu's face was dark and sunken like a dead person, extremely ugly.
He looked at the vast pure white King Energy and the Dragon and Phoenix Shadows that roared.
Yin Yu's eyes were filled with uncontrollable jealousy and rage.
Saint Ruler? Saint Ruler? Then, what was Yin Yu? An evil Ruler?
At this moment, the one who felt the most eye-piercing was still Jin Buhui.
Righteous Energy shone in the sky. Pure and upright, looking down on the Heaven and Earth with a clear conscience. It caused all the 30 thousand Confucians to feel ashamed of themselves. It also caused Zhu Zi to dim in comparison.
This was loyal and pure, a pure Confucian that was close to the Saint Ruler. Then, if his act of killing a loyal official wasn't violent, then what was?
Zuoxin's face was ashen white, his hands and feet were ice cold. His heart clenched tightly and nearly stopped beating.
The one who was wrong was him, the teacher, and not Jin Buhui, the disciple.
One could pretty much foresee that from today on, all the Confucian Faction disciples would see him as a traitor who framed loyal people. He would be an enemy and his reputation would be lost.
How could this happen? How could this happen?
Yin Yu was the first to react, "Grand Teacher, please help me kill this evil!"
"This is what I should do!"
Li Biexue replied coldly. However, when he looked at Zong Shou whose injuries had healed, his eyes were filled with annoyance. This Confucian Faction Zhu Zi really couldn't do anything right!
Originally, Zong Shou was heavily injured and on the verge of death. Now, not only were his injuries healed, but his cultivation also increased. He needed to spend a lot of effort and waste a lot of time.
The key was that Unlimited Beginning and End ability, Grade Thirteen Supreme ability, which was really problematic.
However, at this moment, he saw the relief on Zong Shou's face as well as that cold killing intent.
Then, the 12 Copper Men behind him suddenly moved and punched at the same time. (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.)
