Looking at Su Xin below, Ji Haodian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I never mistreat my own people."
As he spoke, a cold expression appeared on Ji Haodian's face. "Everyone says that I am capricious and cruel, but they don't know that some people are greedy and insatiable. I gave them what they deserve, but they want more."
Ji Haodian glanced at Su Xin and said, "You were involved in the matter of the Sanxiang Wulin Master 'Mad Lion' Du Yuansheng, so you should know the whole story. Everyone will say that I killed Du Yuansheng after crossing the river, right?"
Su Xin lowered his head and didn't answer. Of course, Ji Haodian didn't need Su Xin's answer.
He said coldly, "But they don't know that if it weren't for someone's greed, I wouldn't have destroyed the city wall at that critical moment."
Ji Haodian looked at Su Xin and said lightly, "What I hate the most in my life are those who are greedy and don't know what they have."
Su Xin understood. At the beginning, he had some doubts about this matter. Ji Haodian's actions were very different from what he had done in the past.
As a great ruler, no matter how short-sighted Ji Haodian was, he wouldn't do something like killing his allies before the world was pacified.
This kind of behavior could be compared to the idiot emperor of the Great Jin who sent a group of experts to kill General Lin Weiyuan because of his great merits.
With Ji Haodian's wisdom, even if he was out of his mind, he wouldn't do such a thing. Now it seemed that there was indeed a hidden story.
However, this had nothing to do with Su Xin. Now, whatever Ji Haodian said, Su Xin nodded in agreement.
For a powerful ruler like Ji Haodian, he didn't need any loyal remonstrants. Anyone who dared to point fingers in front of him wouldn't live long. Ji Haodian only needed remonstrants who could carry out his orders perfectly. That was enough.
Ji Haodian was quite satisfied with Su Xin's attitude, so he smiled and said, "I've said it before, I won't mistreat those who work for me, so the reward I'll give you will definitely surprise you. Don't worry, go back and wait."
Su Xin quickly cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty."
Ji Haodian waved his hand, and Su Xin left the palace.
After Su Xin left, Ji Haodian narrowed his eyes for a while before saying, "Tang Xian, what do you think of this Su Xin?"
Tang Xian was stunned. He hadn't expected Ji Haodian to say that. He subconsciously wanted to say good things about Su Xin, but when the words reached his mouth, they became, "Lord Su is still capable, but he's a little too young."
What did youth represent? Being young meant being inexperienced.
In other martial arts sects, experience might not be of much use. Everything depended on one's strength. However, in the imperial court, it was one of the standards to promote a person.
Otherwise, Tie Zhan wouldn't have helped Su Xin and Tie Wuqing fight for the position of judge in Luoyang. To put it bluntly, this position was for them to accumulate experience.
Although Tang Xian was in an alliance with Su Xin for the time being, Su Xin's series of actions in Shengjing made Tang Xian wary of Su Xin.
Deep in the palace, Tang Xian's principle was that no matter how strong he was or how much authority he had, he only needed to be loyal to the Emperor and follow him closely. He wouldn't show any goodwill or come into contact with outsiders or even princes.
Therefore, although this was his first time working with Su Xin in so many years, Tang Xian was still a little uncertain.
When Su Xin was weak, Tang Xian had the upper hand, so he could work with Su Xin with peace of mind.
However, once Su Xin's status rose to the point where he was on equal footing with him, Tang Xian felt a little insecure.
Therefore, when Ji Haodian asked him how Su Xin was, Tang Xian said that Su Xin was young.
Given Ji Haodian's temper, if Tang Xian were to say bad things about him, he would be courting death.
However, he had been in the palace for so many years and had seen countless vicious palace fights. Sometimes, there was no need to be so direct when speaking bad things about a person. A casual sentence could achieve the goal.
A strange look appeared in Ji Yanhao's eyes. He didn't say anything and only asked Tang Xian to send him back to his own palace to rest.
After Su Xin left the palace, he directly returned to Shengjing's Six Fan School.
Many people had seen Su Xin being called over by Ji Haodian. Tie Zhan definitely knew about it too. However, they were very tactful and didn't ask much.
At night, Su Xin sneaked into the place where Magistrate Cui and the others were gathered. As expected, they were all there.
Su Xin took out the gemstone and handed it to them. He said, "Are you guys going to leave after getting the item?"
Magistrate Cui nodded and said, "This time, we tricked the Celestial Court. It's hard to guarantee that they won't take revenge. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, it's better to send the Divine Firmament Heavenly Dragon Sword back to the Hades first."
Bai Weiyuan smiled and said, "Brat, you are really bold and daring. You actually killed Jueyan in the Kunlun Mystic Realm.
Although there are many experts in the Shaolin Temple, they have to pay several times or even dozens of times the price of other sects to cultivate a disciple. This time, a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm died. They will probably be very distressed. This time, the Shaolin Temple will not let this matter go. You have to be careful.
If it really doesn't work, you can ask for help from the Hades. If there's nothing to trade, you can owe them first. The people of the Hades are not that easy to kill. "
Su Xin nodded and said, "Don't worry. I know this."
Seeing that Su Xin was prepared, they didn't say anything more.
The current Shaolin Temple was not the supreme Shaolin Temple of thousands of years ago. It was not an unbeatable existence. Su Xin was not a simple-minded person. He should be prepared for this matter.
After getting the complete Divine Sky Dragon Sword, the people of the Hades left. The next day, the Terrestrial Roll, which had not been updated for two years, was updated again.
However, this time, the new name on the Terrestrial Roll shocked everyone in the Jianghu. They all wondered if they had heard the wrong news.
Su Xin killed Jueyan in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. The Six Fan School acted very quickly. When Su Xin had just returned to the Six Fan School in Shengjing City from the palace, a secret agent of the Six Fan School came to ask Su Xin about the details of the battle and if there was any information that Su Xin needed to hide.
However, Su Xin shook his head and told the secret agent of the Six Fan School to just write the truth. This time, there was no need to hide anything.
In the battle with Jueyan, Su Xin had used all his means and all his trump cards.
Most importantly, there were hundreds of people from the Jianghu and the Zhou Kingdom watching. At this time, there was no point in hiding anything. People might even say that the Six Fan School had deliberately tampered with the information on Su Xin to favor Su Xin. Therefore, Su Xin told them to write the truth.
Therefore, on the second day, the rogue cultivators and the media, who were copying the Ranking List of Young Masters at the entrance of Six Fan School, were shocked to see a constable of Six Fan School walk out with a list with a red background. Everyone present was stunned.
The Ranking List of Young Masters was actually different. The Ranking List of Young Masters was written on ordinary white paper, while the Terrestrial Roll was written on red paper. As for the Ranking List of Young Masters, it was made of gold leaf with words specially engraved on it.
When they saw that the constable of the Six Fan School had taken out a list with a red background, they immediately realized that the Terrestrial Roll had been updated.
The Terrestrial Roll was usually updated every few months or even every few years. This time, it had not been updated for two years. Now that it was suddenly updated, everyone immediately felt that there was big news.
After all, compared with the young talents of the major sects on the Ranking List of Young Masters, Martial Dao Grandmasters in the Primordial Soul Realm were the high-end forces that dominated the Jianghu. Therefore, the update of the Terrestrial Roll was definitely more shocking than the update of the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Everyone hurriedly squeezed over. When the constable finished posting the Terrestrial Roll, they gasped when they saw the name on the Terrestrial Roll. They almost thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
They were very familiar with the only name that had changed on the Terrestrial Roll because they had copied this name several times not long ago. They did not expect that this person would appear on the Terrestrial Roll in just over a year.
Name: Su Xin
Nickname: Blood Sword Divine Finger
Sect: Chief Constable of Shengjing City, Chief Constable of Jiangnan, one of the four reserve Super Constables of the Six Fan School
Martial Arts: Blood River Divine Sword, Blood River Divine Finger, 24 Solar Terms God-stunning Finger, Three Fingers Flicking the Sky, Innate Invisible Sword Qi, Nameless Archery, Immortal Pressing Art, Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, Wind-god's Kick, Sky Frost Fist, Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth Spirit Technique
Weapon: Flying Blood Sword (Refined by Gongshu Yu, an elder of the Sword Pavilion of Bashu and a master swordsmith. It is a top-grade Earthly Weapon)
Strength: Perfection of the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm
Record: In the Kunlun Secret Realm, he killed Jue Yan, the Evil Slayer Monk, who was at the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Realm and had mastered the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
He fought against more than 20 warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm, including Jue Ming from the Preaching Hall of the Shaolin Temple for nearly 15 minutes without being defeated.
Ranking: 63rd on the Terrestrial Roll.
As soon as the list came out, everyone fell silent. Some people even forgot to copy the list.
It seemed like a simple list, but the amount of information contained in it was a bit too much.
Su Xin had only been on the Terrestrial Roll for more than a year, but he had already been promoted to the Terrestrial Roll. This speed was a bit too terrifying. It was simply a record for all warriors on the Terrestrial Roll.
Moreover, Su Xin was the only warrior in the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm to enter the Terrestrial Roll since the Terrestrial Roll was established.
There were many people in Jianghu who entered the Terrestrial Roll with strength in the Divine Transformation Realm. Dong Buyi, the altar master of the Autumn Altar of the Nian Gang, was the strongest one, ranking 61st.
However, whether it was Dong Buyi or other warriors who entered the Terrestrial Roll at the Divine Transformation Realm, they all entered the Terrestrial Roll at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm. Su Xin was the first to enter the Terrestrial Roll at the middle stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Moreover, Su Xin entered the Terrestrial Roll by killing Jue Yan from the Shaolin Temple, which was a bit too terrifying.
If one of the warriors in the Divine Transformation Realm was determined to run away, it would be very difficult to kill the other unless one's strength was overwhelming.
It was written on the Terrestrial Roll that Jue Yan had now mastered the Invincible Vajra Divine Technique. Anyone with a little common sense would know how abnormal the defensive power of this technique was.
If Su Xin was able to kill Jue Yan, who had mastered the Invincible Vajra Divine Technique, how terrifying was his combat strength?
