Zhi Wenzi said:
"I made the decision on my own and called General Zou over. I wanted to borrow General Zou's hand to apprehend the culprit. I didn't expect General Zou to fall into the tiger's mouth. "
The Qin Emperor's brows relaxed at this moment. He left the dragon throne and walked down the steps. He stood with his hands behind his back and said,
"You called General Zou over?"
When the Qin Emperor voiced out his doubts, Zhi Wenzi immediately understood and shuddered.
He pulled Zhi Wuzi along and knelt on the ground. Bam! Bam! Bam!
Blood flowed out of his head.
"I know my mistake! I know my mistake! I know my mistake … "
He kept repeating those three words.
The Qin Emperor's expression was as cold as ever.
He watched the two kowtow for a long time before he walked over to them. He placed his left hand on Zhi Wenzi's right shoulder and his right hand on Zhi Wuzi's left shoulder.
He signaled for them to stop.
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi stopped kowtowing but didn't dare to get up.
They didn't dare to look the Qin Emperor in the eye.
The Qin Emperor patted their shoulders and said, "My two beloved subjects, please rise."
Zhi Wenzi said in a low voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi stood up, they were still nervous and didn't dare to look the Qin Emperor in the eye.
The Qin Emperor revealed a smile and said, "My two beloved subjects are my left and right arms. How can I blame you? You have made great contributions to the Qin Empire and have helped me eliminate many thorns in my flesh over the years.
"I've seen what you've done for me.
"This Emperor admires your abilities very much.
"Your courage and insight … are the cream of the crop among my trump cards."
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi lowered their heads.
They didn't know what to think.
As officials, it was already very impressive for them to achieve their current status. They should be satisfied.
Zhi Wenzi's palms were covered in cold sweat. She clenched her fists tightly and loosened them from time to time to release her nervousness.
The Qin Emperor raised his hand again and patted the shoulders of the two of them meaningfully. Then, he changed the topic and opened his eyes slightly. A cold gleam flashed across his deep eyes. "But … who allowed you to touch my bottom line? “
As he spoke, his ten fingers formed energy and his sharp claws exerted force.
With a crisp crack, Zhi Wenzi's right arm and Zhi Wuzi's left arm broke.
They flew out and crashed into the walls on both sides of the main hall before rolling to the ground.
When Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi's arms left their bodies?
He didn't feel any pain?
Until the severed limbs fell to the ground and blood gushed out.
The delayed pain was like a volcanic eruption, assaulting his heart.
"Ah! “
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi retreated at the same time, their mouths first emitting a blood-curdling scream.
However, the eyes of the Emperor of Qin were like that of a snake. He forced himself to swallow it down and didn't make a sound.
Do I have to continue kneeling?
Zhi Wenzi kowtowed again and said, "I deserve to die?
I have dirtied the hall! I deserve to die! I deserve to die! "
The ferocious glint in the Qin Emperor's eyes gradually retracted.
His outstretched arms drooped down?
Turning around, he clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Just this once."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! "
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi repeatedly kowtowed.
Banging sounds could be heard in the hall.
The Qin Emperor closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said, "You may leave."
"Yes."
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi retreated?
Three steps back?
Feeling that something was amiss, they quickly picked up the severed arms and left the hall.
Just as they arrived at the entrance of the hall, a eunuch fell to his knees at the doorstep, his forehead touching the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the two hundred Imperial Guards have been completely annihilated!"
"…"
…
Night had just fallen, and the incident of the Imperial Guards turning into ice sculptures in front of the Zhao Residence quickly spread throughout Xianyang City.
In the early years, there were rumors that Lady Qi won the favor of the Qin Emperor and gave birth to a son, Zhao Yu. However, for some unknown reason, Lady Qi was banished to the Cold Palace, never to see the light of day again. There were frequent rumors in Xianyang City, saying that Lady Qi was a femme fatale who bewitched the Qin Emperor. The Heavens were blind, and three months of heavy rain washed away countless fertile lands.
The Qin Emperor didn't believe in these rumors. A few years later, Lady Qi fell seriously ill and was bedridden, never to wake up again.
After Zhao Yu was born, the Qin Emperor conferred him the title of Prince, but he didn't have a fief. He stayed in Xianyang City to take care of Zhao Yu, which resulted in the current situation.
The news of hundreds of Imperial guards dying in a single breath spread like wildfire in the city, but none of them were accurate.
Lu Zhou paid no heed to the rumors.
He returned to his room and took out the Violet Glazed Ceramic. After confirming that its ability was on cooldown, he put it away.
Sometimes, imposing manner was more important than tactics. For example, he could have ordered his disciple to kill the Imperial guards, or he could have used another method to achieve his goal. However, that would not have been imposing enough to intimidate others. The Violet Glazed Ceramic had just entered the Eternal rank, and it was a good opportunity to test its ability.
Killing two birds with one stone. Why not?
Lu Zhou took out the Dao Preaching Canon. It was tightly sealed, making it difficult to open.
Lu Zhou circulated his Primal Qi and lightly touched the letters, spelling out the bright moon over the sea, sharing this moment with the ends of the world.
Light streaked across the pages.
When Lu Zhou flipped the book open, he felt the surging power again.
It was clearly the power of the Heavenly Writing's power.
There seemed to be a layer of white mist on it, blocking the actual writing.
Lu Zhou used the Heaven's Eye Power. The white mist parted, and he felt as though he had entered a vast history book. He felt as though he was in a magnificent world that he couldn't free himself from.
The words were woven like a painting. They formed mountains and rivers.
Then, they formed a vast river of stars and a vast universe.
While Lu Zhou was immersed in this, he seemed to hear a voice.
"Preach about the Dao? Preach about the Dao? It's all nonsense!"
"You can cultivate or preach, but you can't!"
"There's no path to cultivation. Why force it?"
The voice resounded in Lu Zhou's ears before it disappeared into the vast universe of words.
The words transformed into golden runes that flew into Lu Zhou's mind.
"Obtained Open Heavenly Writing Scroll."
Lu Zhou's mind wavered.
He snapped out of his reverie and closed the book.
"What a Dao Preaching Canon."
Lu Zhou had only read the Dao Preaching Canon for a short while, and he could already feel the vast power contained within it. As for why the Heavenly Writing power and the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll were here, Lu Zhou could not figure it out.
After obtaining the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll, Lu Zhou stared at it incredulously and said, "Who left this book behind?"
He found it hard to believe.
After reading it for a short while, he could sense a great ambition to lead the cultivation world and open up a new path of cultivation.
However, for some reason, the pessimism in the book grew stronger.
"Preach about the Dao?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Since the words' Evil Sky Pavilion 'and the 26 letters were written on the booklet, Lu Zhou had sufficient reason to believe that Ji Tiandao was the one who sealed the booklet when he recalled the sealing technique of the memory crystal.
The seal was not powerful, but if it was forcefully broken, it would be enough to destroy the book.
"Open Heavenly Writing Scroll …" Lu Zhou looked at the newly appeared Open Heavenly Writing Scroll and said, "Use."
Not only did the book contain the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll, but it also contained its owner's life experiences. This was a weather-beaten book filled with stories.
"With infinite deduction, it can know the unknowable, can reveal the unknowable, and can reveal the unknowable. The various changes of the laws are known by the words of all the beings in the Killing Sea."
The incantation appeared.
