Chapter 470

[Seven: I've heard about it too. It's ridiculous. In Daibun, even Tianzun is no match for the Supervisor. How could the Supervisor die?]

Li Lingsu expressed his opinion.

[Four: I haven't heard any rumors yet. However, with the status of the Supervisor, unless a supreme grade martial artist makes a move, he is invincible in Daibun.]

Even though the Chu Scholar had resigned ten years ago, he was still concerned about the imperial court and the world's events. In the Earth Tome chat group, whenever such matters were discussed, his figure would always be there.

[Nine: It's hard to say. Daibun is in a precarious situation and is already an arrow at the end of its flight. The Supervisor can only receive a limited amount of the nation's luck. Without the blessing of the nation's luck, the combat power of a first-grade Warlock is only so-so.]

The evaluation given by the Jinlian Taoist priest was relatively objective.

[Nine: By the way, it has been confirmed that the Eighth is coming out of seclusion. He is safe and sound, which is very good. He may make a trip to the capital in the near future. Would you like to meet in the capital?]

[Seven: Let's talk about it when we have time.]

Li Lingsu replied.

The others did not speak. They were waiting for Xu Qi'an or Huaiqing's reply.

After a while, Huaiqing finally gave an accurate reply.

[One: Qingzhou has fallen, and the Supervisor is very likely to die.]

It was a simple sentence, but it was like thunder exploding in the ears of the members of the Heaven & Earth Society. The explosion made their brains buzz, and they instantly lost the ability to think.

For the time it took to brew a cup of tea, no one spoke.

Li Miaozhen sent a message as if she was talking in her sleep.

[Two: How could this be …]

A bolt from the blue!

For the members, it was simply unacceptable bad news.

[Seven: The Supervisor is dead. Then, what about Daibun? No, no, how did the Supervisor die? This is impossible …]

His question was the common question of the members of the Heaven & Earth Society.

[One: The details are not known for the time being. According to Song Qing, among the Transcendents who took action that day were Xu Pingfeng, Galo Tree, White Emperor, and Black Lotus.]

[Two: The White Emperor? The White Emperor from Yunzhou?]

Li Miaozhen, who had stayed in Yunzhou for a long time, sent an inquiry letter in disbelief.

The other members thought for a few seconds before they had corresponding guesses in their hearts.

The other members thought for a few seconds before they had corresponding guesses in their hearts. In addition, Sun Xuanji estimated the strength of this descendant of the Devil God to be at the first grade. If he was not, he would not have killed the Supervisor.

Among the Transcendents who took part in the battle, the Black Lotus was a Second-Class Master. If the White Emperor was also a Second-Class Master, he would not have been able to kill the Supervisor.

The members of the Heaven & Earth Society took a deep breath.

They knew about the legend of Yunzhou and more or less knew about the White Emperor. However, they did not expect this legendary existence to ally with Xu Pingfeng to deal with the Supervisor.

[Nine: Strange. Why did the Descendant of the Divine Devil intervene in the affairs of the Central Plains for no reason? There must be something fishy about it.]

Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen, and the others were also very curious.

[Two: Xu Qi'an? You must know.]

Li Miaozhen was used to summoning Xu Qi'an when things were uncertain.

If it was him, he must know … This thought flashed through the minds of every member of the Heaven & Earth Society, except for the Jinlian Taoist priest.

They learned the truth about the fall of the Divine Devil from Xu Qi'an, the secret of the Taoist Primogenitor expelling the Descendants of the Divine Devil from Jiuzhou, and the secret of the Buddha.

If it was Xu Qi'an, even if he did not know the specific truth, he would more or less know some inside information.

"Three: The White Emperor is going after the supervisor. This matter involves a certain secret of the Ancient Era. I probably haven't told you about the gatekeeper yet." "Three: The White Emperor is going after the supervisor.

Gatekeeper?

The members of the Heaven & Earth Society were completely unfamiliar with this term.

[Three: I don't know the specific meaning of the Gatekeeper. I will tell you after I find out. As for the course of this battle, I have some clues. I can tell you.]

The members were shocked and stared at the fragment of the Tome of the Earth.

Xu Qi'an repeated what he told Zhao Shou about the Chai Family and the Initial Supervisor.

[Nine: The Initial Supervisor has been dead for five hundred years, but he can still influence the current situation. He is indeed the founder of the Warlock System.]

The Jinlian Taoist priest was filled with emotion.

No wonder the Supervisor lost. The one who really restrained him was not Xu Pingfeng, but the means left behind by the First Generation … Huaiqing no longer had any doubts. She had no choice but to accept the fact that the Supervisor was sealed.

The only good thing was that the Supervisor did not die. However, there was not much difference between being sealed and being killed. Daibun's current situation was doomed. When the time came, the Supervisor would also die … Chu Yuanzhen sighed silently in his heart.

[Seven: This, this is the end of the battle. We lost the Supervisor, and the enemy has one more First Stage …]

Daibun was doomed.

The Holy Son did not say this out loud. At this moment, even he, a disciple of the Tenzō who had no sense of belonging to Daibun, felt despair and heaviness.

[Six: I remember that your excellency Xu once said that you carry the fate of the nation and are inseparable from Daibun. If Daibun is destroyed, your excellency Xu will also die for the nation.]

Heng Yuan, who had been rather quiet, suddenly interrupted and revealed the bloody truth in front of everyone's eyes.

Li Miaozhen sent a message angrily.

[Two: Stupid monk, why did you mention this? You have to touch a sore spot.]

Xu Qi'an thought about it and sent a message.

[To be honest, I have not thought of a way to break out of this situation. The current situation is indeed a dead end for me and Daibun. Apart from Her Highness Huaiqing, all of you have little to do with the imperial court of Daibun.]

'But we have something to do with you …' Flying Swallow Heroine only dared to grumble in her heart.

Hengy Yuan sent another message.

"Six: This Penniless Monk's life was saved by Lord Xu. This Penniless Monk has said before that he will definitely repay Lord Xu for saving his life if he has the chance. Amitabha, it is indeed a blessing for a monk to have a chance to settle karma.]

'Master Hengy Yuan, you are planting a flag again …' Xu Qi'an felt a warmth in his heart and hurriedly used a sarcastic remark to cover up his feelings.

[Seven: Master, you have a high level of awareness. I will not risk my life for you. However, since we have traveled together, I will accompany you on your final journey.]

His words were not pleasant to hear, but his attitude was clear. He would not leave.

[Four: Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. After training for so long, I have to use them for practice.]

Huaiqing and Li Miaozhen did not say anything. They did not need to express their opinions.

The former was a member of the royal family and was duty-bound. The latter was a favorite of the Flying Swallow Heroine, who was willing to sacrifice her life and shed her blood.

[Five: Father wants me to go to war in the north.]

At this moment, Lina sent a message.

Mose is already in the Central Plains. Is Longtu going to let two of his children die at once … The Heaven & Earth Society is my most reliable team. Even if it is Li Lingsu, I can still rely on them at crucial moments … Xu Qi'an held the Earth Book fragment and exhaled slowly under the warm sunlight.

…

At the border of Sword and Xiangzhou.

In a certain mountain village, Li Lingsu kept the Earth Book fragment and sat there blankly for a moment. He sighed softly and left the house.

He walked out of the fenced yard and headed toward the training field.

The so-called training field was actually a piece of empty land that his soldiers had cleared out. It was used for practicing martial arts, arranging troops into formations, as well as gatherings and chatting with the women.

"Greetings, Chief!"

The subordinates he met along the way greeted him respectfully.

Li Lingsu walked expressionlessly and soon arrived at the training field. He saw Yang Qianhuan wearing a veil that covered his face and loudly reprimanding the mobs in the field.

"If you don't work hard in your training now, the entire village will come to your house and wait for you on the battlefield."

Listening to Yang Qianhuan's reprimand, Li Lingsu glanced at the group of refugees and found that there were children around six or seven years old among them.

"War needs to be trained from a young age. When you grow older, it will be too late for regrets. The entire village will be waiting for you to come to your house for a meal."

Yang Qianhuan's reprimand traveled to his ears.

"Even I, your brother, occasionally feel that there is something wrong with Brother Yang's brain …" Li Lingsu took a deep breath and said loudly,

"Brother Yang!"

Yang Qianhuan had long seen Li Lingsu. After all, he had his back to the crowd and happened to be facing the direction where Li Lingsu was coming from.

"Brother Li!"

Yang Qianhuan stopped reprimanding and strode over. When he arrived in front of Li Lingsu, he turned around and said with his back facing him,

"What's the matter?"

Li Lingsu did not answer. Instead, he weighed the pros and cons and pondered for a long time.

He made up his mind and said, "There is news from Qingzhou. Qingzhou has fallen."

When Yang Qianhuan heard this, he was shocked, but he did not become flustered and exasperated.

He said excitedly, "Only when the situation is critical can I highlight my importance. After I finish training the troops, I will turn the tide. Let's see those rebels in Yunzhou bow their heads and beg for their lives."

Li Lingsu said in a deep voice,

"The Supervisor has been sealed …"

Yang Qianhuan snorted,

"That's really a great thing. The Supervisor has wronged me for many years. Without his suppression, I can stand out."

Li Lingsu shook his head slightly,

"Brother Yang, I'm not joking with you."

He immediately relayed the information he learned from Xu Qi 'an to Yang Qianhuan.

After listening, Yang Qianhuan stood there silently, like a lifeless statue.

After a long time, Li Lingsu heard a low voice coming from the front,

"I got it …"

This was a voice that Li Lingsu had never heard before. All the exaggeration and cynicism had faded. It was so strange that it did not seem to come from Yang Qianhuan's mouth. Or, this was his normal voice.

"Don't tell Caiwei."

Yang Qianhuan said again.

…

Qingzhou.

Ji Xuan pushed open the door of Ge Wenxuan's residence with his left hand on the hilt of his saber and his right hand holding the wine pot.

Ge Wenxuan was wearing the standard white clothes of a warlock. He was sitting by the table, studying a book on military strategy.

"Young Master Ji Xuan is busy with many affairs every day. Why are you not busy recruiting soldiers and preparing food? What are you doing here?"

Ge Wenxuan said with a smile.

"The envoy for the peace talks is my second brother. I heard that you recommended him, so I'm here to ask General Ge for an explanation."

Ji Xuan slapped the wine pot and the saber on the table, narrowed his eyes, and put on a fake smile.

"After listening to you, I'll decide whether to drink or draw my saber."

As the two powerful figures in the Yunzhou Army, the relationship between Ge Wenxuan and Ji Xuan had always been subtle.

They were both good friends and competitors.

They could sit down to drink and laugh, but they would also fight over resources.

Qi Guangbo was strict with the army, and he was fair with rewards and punishments. He would not be biased because of Ji Xuan's identity.

"Young Master Ji Yuan is brimming with talent and eloquence. He is also the son of the City Lord. He is the most suitable person to be the envoy for the peace talks with Daibun. "

Ge Wenxuan said.

Ji Yuan was Ji Xuan's younger brother. They shared the same mother and were both born of a concubine.

Among the brothers, he was ranked ninth.

Unlike the masculine and gentle Ji Xuan, this Ninth Young Master did not like to cultivate. He was fond of reading and was the most knowledgeable among the sons of the Hidden Dragon City Lord.

The most commendable thing was that he was able to apply what he had learned. He was not a fool who only read books.

"Prince Ji Yuan might not be able to lead the army to war, but he is much better than you in debating and arguing in the court." Ge Wenxuan laughed.

"I can't even win against him in debating and arguing, and I don't read as much as he does. Don't you think it's annoying?"

Ji Xuan ignored his jokes and said in a deep voice with a serious expression,

"You haven't talked to Xu Qi'an. You don't know that he is a lunatic."

Ge Wenxuan was still calm.

"What if I tell you that Miss Yuan Shuang and Young Master Yuan Huai are in the envoy?"

Ji Xuan was stunned.

Ge Wenxuan continued,

"It's the Imperial Advisor's idea. He knows better than us what kind of person Xu Qi'an is. The peace talks can solve the problems of the court and the young Emperor, while Miss Yuan Shuang and Young Master Yuan Huai can make Xu Qi'an hesitate. "

Ji Xuan frowned.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Ji Xuan remembered that day in Yongzhou City, when Xu Qi'an broke the tendons of Xu Yuanhuai's hands and feet, but spared his life.

This man would not be restrained by his own blood, but he was not a cold-blooded and heartless person. His brothers were not completely unaffected by him.

Ge Wenxuan remembered what Xu Pingfeng said a few days ago.

"Didn't he mock me for being cold-blooded and heartless? Then I'll send his brother and sister to him."

Ge Wenxuan murmured,

"Teacher is one of the most heartless people in the world."

…

The morning court, the Throne Room.

The Yongxing Emperor gradually began to fear going to court and the memorials on the table. Because the things on the memorials made him restless and anxious.

The refugees caused a disaster, the national treasury was empty, the Qing Province was lost, and the officials in the capital were in a panic. Recently, there were rumors everywhere. The memorials from the administrative offices of the various states said that "the Supervisor is dead, and Daibun is about to perish" were spread everywhere among the people.

The people were also in a panic, thinking that Daibun was really going to perish.

For such behavior of spreading rumors and wanting to see the world in chaos, the previous dynasties would punish them severely. The most common punishment was exile, and beheading at the entrance of the market to frighten the people.

But in times of turmoil, rumors were everywhere, and it could not stop people's mouths. Perhaps the low-level officials also had the same thoughts.

Moreover, the Qing Province was indeed lost. The people who escaped from the war spread the news everywhere, one to ten, and ten to a hundred.

The efforts of the imperial court were destined to have little effect.

Now, it was as if the whole world was roaring in the ears of the Yongxing Emperor, telling him that Daibun was going to perish, and he was going to be a subjugated emperor.

When had the Yongxing Emperor, who was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, ever seen such a scene?

But today, during the morning court, the Yongxing Emperor's mood was different. He was like a man in despair who saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yesterday, the administrative office of Yongzhou, Yao Hong, sent back a memorial. The content was — the rebel army of Yunzhou took the initiative to negotiate for peace.

In addition, Yao Hong also reported Yang Gong in the memorial. Because Yang Gong refused to negotiate for peace, he tried to suppress this matter.

This crime should be punished!

"My beloved minister, Yao, is really my right-hand man."

Yesterday, the Yongxing Emperor finished reading the memorial and was overjoyed. As for Yang Gong, he did not plan to deal with him for the time being, because Yongzhou still depended on him to guard.

"Dear ministers, yesterday, the administrative office of Yongzhou, Yao Hong, sent a memorial. The Yunzhou wants to negotiate for peace with our imperial court and stop fighting."

The Yongxing Emperor looked around at the officials and said in a loud voice:

"What do you all think?"
