Xianyang City, inside the Ceremonial Hall!
"Haha …!"
Yu Haoran did not stop laughing because of Xiao Zhongyuan's angry rebuke and vomiting blood.
Xiao Zhongyuan pushed away the two scholars who were supporting him with a livid face and was about to go forward and rebuke him again. Only then did he stop laughing.
Then, he sneered with disdain.
"Xiao Zhongyuan, a trash who can't even resist one of my moves is called the guardian of Emperor Qin's Kingdom by you. I'm afraid this is the funniest joke I, Yu Haoran, have ever heard in my life."
In fact, the mockery just now was not false. Xiao Jiufa was indeed killed by his Devouring Technique.
"Yu Haoran, shut up immediately!"
Hearing Yu Haoran's mockery of his father, Xiao Zhongyuan roared and took a deep breath.
After he regained his composure, he spoke with an arrogant tone.
"My father has been famous for more than seventy years. Countless famous experts have been defeated by him."
Glancing at Yu Haoran contemptuously, Xiao Zhongyuan also sneered with disdain.
"You, a brat who is still wet behind the ears, can defeat and kill my father with only one move. I'm afraid this is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life."
"Xiao Zhongyuan, there is a wise saying in your Confucian sacred scripture, 'Ambition is not determined by age. Without ambition, you can only live a hundred years!'"
In fact, after successfully devouring Xiao Jiufa, Xiao Zhongyuan, who had lost his greatest reliance, was no longer a threat. He did not need to continue to entangle with him.
However, he knew that Emperor Qin wanted to use this opportunity to launch a second burning of books and burying of Confucianism, to completely eliminate the greatest hidden danger of the Emperor Qin's Kingdom: Confucianism.
Therefore, in order to find a reason for Emperor Qin to convince the world, he could only fight back patiently.
"Since I, Yu Haoran, set foot on the martial path, from the beginning of the Martial Disciple Realm, then to the Martial Warrior, Martial Master, Martial Ancestor, Martial King, and now to the peak of the Ninth Grade Martial Saint Realm, which is only one step away from the Martial Venerable Realm, it only took a little more than two years."
At this point, Yu Haoran suddenly took a step forward and continued to fight back with an arrogant expression.
"Ever since I stepped into the bloody world of martial arts, every opponent that I, Yu Haoran, have faced is an expert and expert that is several realms higher than me."
"When I, Yu Haoran, was in the Martial Realm, I could defeat experts in the Martial Emperor Realm with the secret method of transforming strange beasts."
"When I, I, I was in the Martial Ancestor realm, I could use, I could kill Experts who had comprehended the power of Law's power."
"When I, Yu Haoran, was in the Martial Emperor Realm, I could kill experts in the Martial Venerable Realm with the secret method of Law's martial skills."
"Now, I, Yu Haoran, am in the peak of the Ninth Grade Martial Saint Realm. It is not difficult to defeat and kill a trash in the early Third Grade Martial Venerable Realm!"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Facing Yu Haoran's counterattack, Xiao Zhongyuan spat out three mouthfuls of blood as if he had been seriously injured, and directly took a few steps back.
If it were not for a few great scholars reaching out to support him in time, he would have fallen directly to the ground.
Looking up at Yu Haoran, who was emitting a strong aura, Xiao Zhongyuan's heart was filled with endless regret at this moment. He knew that his plan to use the laws of the Emperor Qin's Kingdom to get rid of Yu Haoran through conviction and revitalize Confucianism had completely failed.
Moreover, he had implicated his father and caused him to lose his life.
"Yu Haoran, even if you could defeat my father in one move, why didn't you spare his life and protect the Emperor Qin's Kingdom together, and help His Majesty build an everlasting foundation?"
Now that he had lost his father's protection, with Emperor Qin's character, he would never let him go. Xiao Zhongyuan knew that he would definitely die.
However, he was unwilling to die like this. He wanted to use his last means of expressing his loyalty to plant a seed of suspicion between Yu Haoran and Emperor Qin. He hoped that in the future, this seed of suspicion would cause the two to completely turn against each other.
"Hmph!"
Faced with Xiao Zhongyuan's sinister intentions before his death, Yu Haoran immediately sneered disdainfully, and said with a deep look of disgust on his face.
"Xiao Zhongyuan, even if I, Yu Haoran, die, I will never cooperate with a heartless and inhumane animal!"
"Shut up!"
After hearing Yu Haoran's insult to his father, Xiao Zhongyuan, who was burning with anger, quickly walked up to him and begged with a red face.
"Yu Haoran, my father has already been killed by you. His Majesty will definitely not let me, Xiao Zhongyuan, and the Xiao Clan off. Could it be that you can't be more open-minded, accumulate some virtue in your words, and respect the dead?"
After glancing coldly at Xiao Zhongyuan, Yu Haoran took out a sparkling and translucent crystal from his Storage Ring. Then, he directly threw it to a Grand Scholar at the peak of the seventh grade Martial King Realm and instructed.
"This is a very rare Memory Crystal. Just inject some Yuanli into it, and it will reproduce the images recorded in the Water Sun."
The Grand Scholar holding the Memory Crystal raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhongyuan with a hint of questioning in his eyes.
After receiving Xiao Zhongyuan's nod of agreement, the Grand Scholar injected Yuanli into the Memory Crystal. Soon, the Memory Crystal began to reproduce the blood sacrifice that took place in Yan Luo City.
When he saw the black-clothed middle-aged man standing on the red altar of the Black Tower, madly raising his cultivation and strength through the blood sacrifice of millions of lives in Yama City, anger, regret, confusion, shame, and other complex emotions began to fiercely attack Xiao Zhongyuan's consciousness.
In the end, knowing that he was going to die, Xiao Zhongyuan, who was too ashamed to face the world, chose to give up and let the complicated emotions destroy his little remaining vitality.
"Sigh!"
Yu Haoran could not help but sigh as he looked at Xiao Zhongyuan, who died with his eyes wide open.
Using the suction force formed by his elemental energy, he retreated to Meng Zhengkai's side after retrieving the memory crystal from the Great Confucian Scholar's hand. He then left the rest of the matter to the Qin Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!"
Just after Yu Haoran took back the Memory Crystal, a Grand Scholar surnamed Wu, who gradually woke up from the shock, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed while crying bitterly.
"This humble subject must have been instigated by that demon, Xiao Zhongyuan, to finally commit such a heinous crime. I implore Your Majesty to spare this humble subject's life on account of this humble subject's decades of service."
"Your Majesty, Xiao Jiufa was able to sacrifice millions of lives in Yan Luo City in exchange for a powerful cultivation and strength. He must be a demon who transformed into a human."
"Then, as Xiao Jiufa's biological son, Xiao Zhongyuan must also be a demon. I must have been controlled by a demon and finally did such a crazy thing to sue Your Majesty."
The pleading of the Grand Scholar surnamed Wu immediately gave the other Grand Scholars an excuse to defend themselves. The Grand Scholar surnamed Liu, who had once reprimanded Yu Haoran, also knelt on the ground and began to shirk responsibility.
