"Marquis, now that the Human Emperor has passed away, Qianshan, Nanfeng, and Luoyue Prefectures have rebelled. Nanfeng and Luoyue Prefectures have led their armies to Zhongzhou Prefecture in an attempt to take over the imperial city. The entire Great Zhao is already unstable."
"Without the Human Emperor, there are no outstanding people among the princes. It's hard for them to inherit the throne."
"Forgive me for saying something disrespectful, but the Great Zhao is nearing its end. Marquis, you have Beiyun Prefecture and you're no weaker than the other Marquis. We can't … rebel!"
At the end, Fu Bo bowed deeply.
The other generals heard this.
At this moment, they all remained silent.
With regards to these words, no one objected, but no one agreed with him either.
They looked at the people below.
Marquis Beiyun's expression was gentle. He didn't get angry because of this. He just said calmly, "Don't say such disrespectful words again. Now that the imperial court is in danger, how can I add insult to injury?"
"Marquis …"
"Okay, we'll talk about this later."
Marquis Beiyun waved his hand and stopped the other party from continuing.
Like Feng Wende, Fu Bo was one of the scholars under him.
Ever since Feng Wende was killed.
Thus, the other party became the only scribe under him.
Fu Bo wasn't very outstanding in all aspects, but he was loyal. Marquis Beiyun had a tolerant attitude towards this.
"From today onwards, I don't want to see any unrest in Beiyun Prefecture. Kill anyone who dares to rebel."
"We obey!"
"You can leave."
"Yes!"
Marquis Beiyun got up and left after giving one last order.
The other generals also took their leave.
In the study.
Marquis Beiyun was holding a scroll and reading carefully. Su Mingyang was standing next to him.
He looked at the calm Marquis Beiyun.
Su Mingyang hesitated for a long time. In the end, he asked in confusion, "Marquis, what Mr. Fu said was right. Why don't you agree?"
Then.
Marquis Beiyun put down the scroll in his hand and shook his head. "Do you really think that the Great Zhao is at the mercy of others now that the Human Emperor has passed away? The Human Emperor has been on the throne for more than six thousand years. No one knows how many tricks he left behind.
Right now, Marquis Nanfeng and Marquis Luoyue seem to be leading their troops to the Imperial City, but in reality, they are just helping Gu Changqing out of his predicament. Have you seen them really step into the Central State Prefecture? "
"In the end, they are also afraid of the backup plan that the Human Emperor might have left behind."
"After all …"
"Everyone in the world knows that the Human Emperor's lifespan is nearing its end. How could he not know? In the end, all of you are too shallow. You always think that the death of the Human Emperor means that Great Zhao is useless."
"You have to know that since the Human Sovereign created the Great Zhao, the Great Zhao also created the Human Sovereign."
"Back then, the Human Emperor stayed in the Central Plains and did not come out. It was the cavalry of the Great Zhao that swept through the other countries. The ones fighting against the yao were also experts of the Great Zhao. Do not underestimate the people of the world."
After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Su Mingyang, as though he was disappointed that Su Mingyang had failed to meet his expectations.
Compared to others.
Su Mingyang and the other Reverends were more like family generals of the Northern Cloud Marquis Manor. They were also his true confidants.
Or else …
Marquis Beiyun wouldn't have sent Su Mingyang to protect Qin Shujian, nor would he have opened his mouth to explain so much.
In the end.
He still hoped to train the other party well.
All the experts in the world knew that it was the Human Emperor who had defeated the yao emperor and driven the yao into the Endless Mountains.
They thought that the Human Emperor had defeated the yao with his own power.
In reality, this was not the case.
It was true that the Human Emperor was strong, but no matter how strong he was, how could he fight against billions of yao with his own power?
When the human race and yao race started fighting.
It was the army of the Great Zhao and the experts of all sides who had fought against the billions of yao.
In the end, the Human Emperor acted.
He defeated the yao emperor in one move and completely destroyed the yao race's morale.
This way.
The yao race had retreated to the Endless Mountains.
It was a pity.
The light of the Human Emperor was too bright and completely overshadowed the light of the Great Zhao. Many people thought that the defeat of the yao was due to the Human Emperor's own power and ignored the power of the Great Zhao itself.
This kind of misunderstanding.
It made people think that after the death of the Human Emperor, the Great Zhao was an existence that could be slaughtered.
In reality.
This kind of thinking was wrong.
Su Mingyang, who was standing on the side, was shocked when he heard this. He immediately lowered his head and said, "This subordinate has neglected it."
"Just focus on the things at hand. In the next period of time, the world will not be peaceful. We can only talk about other things if we can protect the Beiyun Mansion. If we can't even protect the Beiyun Mansion, what else can we do?"
For some reason, the Marquis of Beiyun sighed and then waved his hand.
"You can leave first."
"This subordinate will take his leave!"
Seeing this, Su Mingyang immediately bowed and left.
Only the Marquis of Beiyun was left in the study.
At this moment, he no longer looked at the scroll in his hand. Instead, he got up and opened the window. Through the window, he saw the bright moonlight in the sky and a thought surged in his heart.
The Human Emperor!
Did he really die?
This thought had always existed in the Marquis of Beiyun's heart, but he had never mentioned it to anyone.
In his opinion.
The Human Emperor had ruled the world for thousands of years. No matter what, he would not choose to break through at this juncture, let alone fail and die from the exhaustion of his lifespan.
This did not seem like the Human Emperor's style.
How could such a strategist Emperor fall so easily?
Moreover —
Even if the Human Emperor fell, he must have left behind a backup plan. At least, he should be able to protect the Great Zhao.
More importantly —
If a mighty figure could reincarnate and cultivate again, then the Human Emperor would definitely be able to do the same.
"Could it be that the Human Emperor wants to live a second life and then break through the current shackles?"
A new thought surged in the Marquis of Beiyun's heart, but he quickly dispelled it.
With the Human Emperor's personality —
He would definitely disdain to do such a thing.
As for reincarnating and cultivating again —
Unless they were forced to, no mighty figure would choose to do so.
To put it nicely, it was to live a second life.
To put it bluntly, it was to prolong their last breaths.
In the Marquis of Beiyun's opinion, the current Great Zhao was covered with a layer of fog. No one knew what was inside.
The safest thing to do now —
Was to wait and see.
When this layer of fog dissipated, things would naturally become clear.
Before that —
The only thing to do was to protect himself.
"I only hope that the Demon Clan will be sensible and not be too presumptuous!" The Marquis of Beiyun suddenly shifted his gaze from the sky and then turned his head to look in another direction.
There —
Was where the Endless Mountain Range was.
This time, he went deep into the Endless Mountain Range and killed a Heavenly Human Demon.
Firstly, it was because the Beast Tide had really angered him.
Secondly, it was because of this.
He wanted to tell all the Demon Clans that with him, Xiao Chengfeng, in the Beiyun Mansion, no one could lay a finger on it. Any Demon Clans who wanted to enter the Beiyun Mansion would have to consider if they could withstand the wrath of a mighty being.
Those above the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm were mighty figures.
Whether it was in the past or now, a mighty figure was an existence that could not be ignored.
If one wanted to offend a mighty figure —
Even a big clan like the Demon Clan had to seriously consider whether it was worth it.
After all —
The means of a mighty figure had already reached an extraordinary level. Once a mighty figure attacked regardless of the consequences, it would be a huge disaster for any clan.
Therefore —
Unless they were forced to or had complete confidence that they could surround and kill him.
Or else …
No one would offend a mighty figure for no reason.
Because of this —
The Marquis of Beiyun directly killed his way into the Endless Mountain Range. It was not only to teach the Demon Clans a lesson, but also to indirectly tell the other Demon Clans.
There was a mighty figure in the Beiyun Mansion.
If they thought that they could withstand the anger of a mighty figure, they could reach out their hands.
If they were not strong enough —
Then they could only wait to be exterminated.
One had to know.
The Demon Clans were strong as a whole, not just a small clan.
The Demon Clans as a whole were naturally not afraid of a mighty figure.
But if it was a single Demon Clan, not everyone could provoke a mighty figure.
The result was as Marquis of Beiyun had expected.
Ever since the Heavenly Human Demon was killed, all the Demon Beasts that entered the Beiyun Mansion were also killed. Since then, no Demon Beast stepped out of the Endless Mountain Range.
In comparison —
The other manors that were close to the Endless Mountain Range were still plagued by the Beast Tide and were far less peaceful than the Beiyun Mansion.
However —
Marquis of Beiyun was also very clear about the consequences of exposing his strength.
Although he could intimidate the Demon Clans in a short period of time.
But when the Demon Clans decided to attack the Beiyun Mansion, it meant that the other party was fully prepared.
A preparation that was enough to kill a mighty figure.
And this way —
His name, Xiao Chengfeng, would be completely in the sights of all the Demon Clans. Without a doubt, he would definitely be on the Demon Clans' must-kill list.
To this —
Marquis of Beiyun was not too afraid.
"Even if you don't do anything, the Beiyun Mansion's strength is enough to deal with the Beast Tide. You're still too impulsive." A mysterious voice sounded in his mind.
Hearing this —
Marquis of Beiyun chuckled and said to himself, "If this is the case, we can deal with the Beast Tide once. What about the second or third time? And if this goes back and forth, the people of the Beiyun Mansion will be plunged into misery and suffering."
"As long as you're here, the Beiyun Mansion will never really be destroyed."
"The Xiao Family has been in charge of the Beiyun Mansion for thousands of years and has always been respected by the people of the Beiyun Mansion. That's why we have today's status. I, Xiao Chengfeng, am not an ungrateful person."
Marquis of Beiyun shook his head slightly and said calmly.
"Since the Beiyun Mansion trusts the Xiao Family, we can't let them down. It's just exposing our strength. With the courage of the Demon Clans, they might not dare to set foot in the Beiyun Mansion in the next few decades."
"After such a long time, I might have taken another step forward."
"And —"
"With the two of us working together, even if a Demon Saint comes, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Hearing this —
The voice in his mind was silent for a while.
After a while —
The voice sounded again in his mind. "Have the heart of all living beings. If you had the potential to become a supreme being in the ancient times, even now, you're qualified to compete for the position of the Human Emperor."
"Was there a Human Emperor in the ancient times?"
"…"
The voice was silent again. After a long time, it replied.
"Yes."
