Everyone knew that Steward Jiang had the habit of not sleeping at night. Every day, he would only go back to sleep when the sky was about to turn bright.
The night was the time for people to rest, and it was also during this period of darkness that people's alertness was at its lowest.
However, Jiang Zhong's strange habit had ensured that there had never been any changes in the Yutang Palace during the night for many years.
It was also because of this that Jiang Zhong's status had remained unshakable for so many years!
His orders were truly the law, and his orders were strictly enforced.
The imperial garden was filled with the dancing shadows of the trees. The surrounding lanterns had mostly been extinguished, making the place look gloomy.
The northern wind was howling in the sky, bringing with it a chill. Naturally, the weather would not be warm at this time of the year.
Jiang Zhong hobbled over slowly, wrapping his robe tightly as if he was shivering.
"I'm old … I'm useless … I can't even stand this little bit of cold air …" Jiang Zhong murmured and sighed, "Back then …"
The two young eunuchs behind him kept their mouths shut, not daring to speak.
Steward Jiang always liked to reminisce about the past and boast to himself, but he had never needed anyone's response.
It seemed that it was enough for him to reminisce about himself.
However, when dawn broke, the sound of the wind suddenly grew louder.
An unprecedentedly sharp whistling sound was emitted.
Jiang Zhong's hunched body that was walking forward suddenly paused. He lifted his head abruptly and looked at the sky. His old, blurry eyes suddenly shone with a brilliant light!
The gale that was flowing in the sky suddenly came crashing down.
At the same time, a voice that was gnashing its teeth said, "Jiang Zhong!"
A gust of saber energy that was even more piercing than the cold wind fell from the dome.
Jiang Zhong suddenly let out a sharp howl. His body turned into a blur that moved at high speed in an instant, swiftly avoiding the oncoming saber energy.
A sharp and sinister voice responded, "Supreme Wind, why are you doing this? Why are you attacking the Imperial Palace? "
Swoosh!
A gust of saber energy slashed across, and Jiang Zhong's robe was suddenly torn open! Blood dripped!
Jiang Zhong let out a shrill howl. His body suddenly shook and split into dozens of human figures, shuttling back and forth in the air.
Although he was clearly the only one moving, the dozens of figures in the field all showed high-speed trajectories, and then gave rise to countless afterimages. In an instant, wherever the figures went, it was as if there were thousands of horses galloping in a group.
The wind was still howling, and the green whirlwind in the sky was like a raging dragon that could overturn rivers and seas. It was full of a violent aura, and its killing intent was boundless.
Jiang Zhong seemed to be trying his best to dodge the attacks, but in fact, only the first strike was too sudden and unexpected, causing him to be injured. Following that, under Supreme Wind's intensive attacks that were like a thunderstorm, he was safe and sound, without a scratch.
Even though his clones were crushed one by one by the saber light, he was moving at an even faster speed, creating even more illusory clones.
"Lord Supreme Wind!" Jiang Zhong howled as he dodged, "Why? What are you trying to do? "
The sound of the wind was getting more and more violent, and its momentum was getting more and more ferocious. However, there was no response to Jiang Zhong's question.
Streaks of saber radiance struck down from the night sky like thunderbolts and lightning amidst the howling wind.
This extremely sharp and dense murderous aura caused everyone in the imperial palace to feel a chill run down their spines.
Supreme Wind's anger was extremely obvious.
It had reached an unimaginable level!
In the inner court of the palace, countless imperial guards swarmed over. However, when they saw that the one who was attacking Jiang Zhong was actually Supreme Wind of the Nine Supremes, all of them turned pale with fright. No one dared to act recklessly!
However, a question arose in everyone's mind. What was going on?
During the public trial of Yang Botao's case, the name of the Nine Supremes had reappeared in the world and greatly boosted Yutang's low morale. This time, Supreme Wind of the Nine Supremes had abruptly arrived and his target was the people in the palace. The reason for this made one's imagination run wild.
Could it be that the palace had also been infiltrated by Yutang's enemy, and the current target was Yutang's Majordomo of the Imperial Palace, Jiang Zhong? A person of such high status and power was actually Yutang's enemy?
The lantern flickered as His Majesty came from afar with many guards.
How could His Majesty still be able to sleep after such a huge commotion? Especially when he heard that it was related to the Nine Supremes' Supreme Wind's actions, he naturally put on his robe at once and rushed to the scene of the incident.
Along the way, he was still buttoning his cotton robe, his footsteps hurried and his face was filled with urgency.
"Is it really Supreme Wind?"
There was no need to ask this question anymore, no need to confirm it.
His Majesty had already seen the shadow that was circling and whistling in the air.
There was also the saber light that kept striking down like a thunderbolt!
The aura of extreme rage, the murderous intent of extreme brutality!
Everything that was seen before him was extreme and irreversible!
His Majesty was overwhelmed with shock as he saw the situation.
Previously, when the Nine Heavens Dictum was eradicating spies, His Majesty had always wanted to help, but he had never been able to. Most importantly, the Nine Heavens Dictum had never caused a ruckus in the palace.
Now, they were fighting in the palace so brazenly, and it was Supreme Wind himself who was the target. This was something that would never have happened in the past!
Thinking about it, His Majesty's face suddenly turned pale.
Jiang Zhong!
This time, the target of Supreme Wind's attack was actually the Majordomo of the Imperial Palace, the old man who had almost watched him grow up?
How could it be him?
How could it be him?
Compared to Jiang Zhong, even He Hanqing, the teacher of three generations of emperors and an old official of several dynasties, seemed insignificant. This old man who had accompanied His Majesty for his entire life was actually a spy as well? An imposter? What could be more horrifying and horrifying than this?
The murderous intent that Supreme Wind displayed now could be said to have permeated heaven and earth. His raging emotions had infected everyone present. Such rage and such an attitude pointed to this point.
Could it be …
As Jiang Zhong dodged the attack, he cried out in grief, "Lord Supreme Wind, what … what is going on?"
Jiang Zhong felt aggrieved by everything that had happened.
He had a cultivation base of the ninth peak pinnacle, a top-notch expert who was only a step away from Tenth Perfection.
With his cultivation base, as long as he was not up against those so-called super experts who had reached the heaven realm, he had the confidence to stay alive or even win.
However, it was only today that he could not even retaliate when facing Supreme Wind!
He could only dodge.
Although the real cultivation base of the person before him was not very high, perhaps not even at the eighth peak, he dared not make any reckless moves.
This was because the person before him was Supreme Wind!
One of the Nine Supremes.
If he dared to retaliate, he would be charged with treason immediately and would never be able to clear his name!
Did he not see that the imperial guards around him were densely packed but none of them made a move?
It should be known that these imperial guards were usually submissive and obedient to him, and no one dared to disobey him. But now, they were all staring at him with vigilance and suspicion, and a faint murderous intent could be seen everywhere …
Obviously, in these people's hearts, those who Supreme Wind dealt with must be guilty of the most heinous crimes!
Since you, Jiang Zhong, were being targeted by Supreme Wind, there must be a reason!
If Supreme Wind wanted you dead, then you must die. There was no need for evidence, no need for a trial, it was just like that!
Did you not see that even His Majesty the Emperor was only watching from afar when he arrived? He did not have the intention to order them to stop or ask for an explanation!
There was not even a chance to ask for the reason!
It was at this moment that Jiang Zhong finally realized the influence of the Nine Supremes in this country!
Their words and actions were even more effective than an imperial edict!
Even though he did not retaliate, it did not mean that Yun Yang would be merciful. The other party's murderous intent was overflowing, his heart filled with grief and resentment. He attacked with all his might, wanting to kill the person before him completely, crushing his bones and obliterating his soul!
"Your Majesty … Your Majesty …"
Jiang Zhong had no choice but to cry for help, "This old servant is innocent, this old servant is innocent …"
His Majesty the Emperor stood there quietly, his deep eyes watching the scene before him. He said faintly, "Pass on my verbal order, no one is allowed to act recklessly. Those who dare to disturb the battle shall be killed without mercy!"
After this order was issued, the guards and Imperial Army became even more motionless. Intentionally or unintentionally, they formed a large encirclement around Wang Chong.
It was obvious that they were guarding against someone's escape.
Then, who was it that they were guarding against?
Who was that person?!
It went without saying!
Jiang Zhong's heart was filled with helplessness.
His Majesty looked at the scene. Jiang Zhong's unfathomable body movements, his never-before-seen miraculous cultivation method, his casual movements were able to evoke a blurry and bizarre scene of mystical Qi and Qi manifestation...
The shock in his heart grew stronger and the fear in his heart increased exponentially.
The Minister of Imperial Household, Jiang Zhong!
He had never thought that Jiang Zhong's cultivation base would be so earth-shattering!
Since he was a child, Jiang Zhong had been serving his father. When he was a toddler learning to walk, it was Jiang Zhong who supported him with one hand, until now …
He actually didn't know that this loyal and devoted old servant actually had such a profound martial arts cultivation!
His Majesty the Emperor of Yutang, Yu Peize, was not an ordinary person. Other than his mystical Qi cultivation base, he was also someone who knew what was good and what was bad. Although he did not know the cultivation method that Jiang Zhong had displayed, he was very clear about the level and standard of such a cultivation method. At least, experts of this level in the Empire of Yutang were rare!
In other words, Jiang Zhong's identity and background must be suspicious!
"Supreme Wind!"
His Majesty the Emperor said in a low voice.
Amidst the whistling wind, a low voice came out suppressed, "What does Your Majesty have to say?"
His Majesty the Emperor said calmly, "May I ask what is going on with Supreme Wind? And what is this person's background? "
His Majesty the Emperor's words were equivalent to confirming Jiang Zhong's identity as a traitor. It was one thing for those present to vaguely know about it, but it was another thing to hear His Majesty the Emperor's conclusion.
In mid-air, the saber light that materialized from the green wind was still like a thunderbolt that was about to descend upon the mortal realm. Another eighteen consecutive slashes were unleashed. The low voice that was suppressing his rage said quickly, "Cirrus House is gone!"
Cirrus House was gone?
His Majesty the Emperor had been shaken by the violent explosion earlier, so he naturally knew about it. However, what was so special about Cirrus House that it was worthy of Supreme Wind's rage?
Although the owner of Cirrus House, Yun Zuiyue, was known to be the confidante of the Unrivaled Expert Ling Xiaozui, there was no evidence to prove it. Besides, perhaps Ling Xiaozui could take the lead in this matter, but what was the reason for Supreme Wind to do so?
His Majesty the Emperor's question was answered in an instant.
"The owner of Cirrus House, Yun Zuiyue, is a family member of the Nine Supremes!"
"With a loud explosion, Cirrus House was reduced to ashes in an instant! Everyone was crushed into pieces! "Yun Yang's voice was like an eerie wind that blew from hell!
His Majesty the Emperor's pupils dilated to the maximum.
Yun Yang had mentioned the fact that Cirrus House's Yun Zuiyue was Supreme Flame's wife to the Old Marshal, but to ensure the confidentiality of the matter, the Old Marshal did not make it clear to His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor had only just found out about it. Only the heavens knew how shaken His Majesty was when he heard this!
A family member of the Nine Supremes?
His Majesty the Emperor's originally tall and sturdy body trembled, his face turning pale.
It was at this moment that he recalled something from the past.
It was that time when he had a secret contact with the eldest prince, Supreme Earth.
"My son, although it's inappropriate for you to expose your identity as Supreme Earth, you're not young anymore. You have to think about your marriage. Even if you don't yearn for the throne or the monarch's power, it's still necessary to continue your bloodline."
"Don't worry, Father. I know what I'm doing."
"What do you know? I haven't seen you do anything for so long. If you'd done something earlier, I wouldn't have said it in front of you. I'm only advising my son now as a father. Do you understand the difference? "
Supreme Earth hesitated then and said, "I'm not completely pure. I even have someone I like. However, it's inappropriate for them to show themselves, so I can only wrong her …"
His Majesty the Emperor, who had gotten the answer he wanted, was naturally overjoyed. However, Supreme Earth did not give him a further answer even though the Emperor had interrogated him many times afterward.
For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor felt helpless and pained. Because of him, he had mistreated his son and daughter-in-law. If there was a chance, he must find a chance to make it up to them, to make it up to them properly …
He had long reserved a sense of anticipation in his heart.
Since his son had said that he had a lover, it was reasonable for him to have another adorable grandson.
After all, it had not been a short time since he knew that his son had someone he liked.
His Majesty the Emperor already had other grandchildren, but he had always had an inexplicable expectation towards the eldest prince's child.
It was what he owed his eldest son. If it was possible, he would naturally compensate his grandson.
His Majesty the Emperor had even thought of how to make it up to him.
However, before His Majesty the Emperor could interrogate him about this, something had happened to Supreme Earth.
As his son did not leave behind any relevant clues, his daughter-in-law might not even know that her husband was of royal blood. Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor could not help but beat his chest and stomp his feet. His grandson, who he did not know if he had, was even less likely to meet.
Now, he suddenly heard Supreme Wind speak from the air.
"The owner of Cirrus House, Yun Supreme Yue, is a family member of us Nine Supremes!"
"The Cirrus House has been annihilated, everyone has been crushed!"
