Kong Shengzhen looked at the tall and thin man in front of him. If the other party wasn't a fifth realm Martial Emperor with a powerful aura that could suppress the universe, he would find it hard to believe.
Gao Shihui, the Great Emperor who unified the Northern Mang, actually came to the Central Continent and the Sacred Evolution Manor alone?
His cultivation was indeed powerful, but he didn't even care about his status as the Northern Mang Great Emperor and became an uninvited guest, which was equivalent to a sneak attack.
If he really came here alone, wasn't he worried about being surrounded by the heroes of the Central Continent?
Kong Shengzhen sized up the other party.
The other party looked calm and wasn't arrogant, but his aura had already shrouded the entire Sacred Evolution Manor.
The other teachers and students of the Sacred Evolution Manor all felt a huge pressure that suppressed their minds.
Under this pressure, the thought of submitting to him was born in everyone's heart, and it was difficult for them to have the heart to resist.
A top-notch Martial Emperor had arrived?
The Sacred Evolution Manor had a long history and had a long inheritance. They were all experienced and knowledgeable.
Kong Shengzhen and the others immediately understood after the initial surprise.
However, a Martial Emperor who could give them such a huge pressure was probably something that even fourth realm Martial Emperors like the Tranquil Sovereign Han Feng and the Scenic Sovereign Zhao Shuo couldn't do.
It must be a fifth realm Martial Emperor who was at the pinnacle of the Martial Emperor Realm.
Ever since the Jade Sovereign fell and the Twelve Kings of Hell disappeared, there hadn't been a fifth realm Martial Emperor in the Central Continent for many years.
Although the Twelve Kings of Hell had made a comeback, no fifth realm Martial Emperor had appeared.
Who was the person who came to the Sacred Evolution Manor now?
Kong Xiang, who had been to the Northern Mang, was slightly moved. He first thought of Gao Shihui's name.
He was an expert who killed the descendant of the Northern Mang Emperor, who was also a fourteenth realm Martial Dao expert, and ruled over the Northern Mang.
Could it be that he came?
However, there hadn't been any news from the north about the Northern Mang coming south.
Gao Shihui couldn't have sneaked into the Central Continent alone, right?
Just as he thought of this, he felt boundless fist intents that were like mountains that fell from the sky and crushed the Sacred Evolution Manor.
Kong Xiang and the others couldn't resist such terrifying fist intents. It was as if they could only close their eyes and wait for their deaths.
Fortunately, an elder's voice sounded at this moment, "Your Honor, you are too vicious."
As he spoke, there seemed to be an invisible wind blowing away Gao Shihui's fist intent that suppressed the Saint Evolving Mansion.
It was Manor Lord Kong Shengzhen.
As a Level Five Confucian Grandmaster, he had already reached the Sage Realm. His most iconic Confucian ability was the ability to speak the heavenly laws.
As soon as Kong Shengzhen spoke, the hostility in the surroundings immediately dissipated.
Although he was surprised by the other party's sudden arrival, the other party's strength was still there for all to see.
At this moment, Kong Shengzhen could only fight with all his might.
Surrounded by literary talent, the Mansion Master of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture soared into the sky like a pillar of light.
The pillar of light continued to expand, becoming thicker and thicker, covering all directions.
Gao Shihui was also enveloped by the light pillar.
However, he was able to move freely. He punched forward, and the beam of light immediately began to distort.
Under his punch, the huge beam of light seemed like it was about to break.
Kong Shengzhen's expression was solemn, his literary talent surging. "The Central Earth is not Northern Mang. Honored sir, please conduct yourself with dignity and quickly withdraw."
As he said this, the beam of light suddenly became more condensed, and then seemed to turn into a high wall that reached the sky and the earth, blocking Gao Shihui.
Moreover, this high wall even moved, pushing Gao Shihui all the way to the north.
The Northern Mang Emperor's body shook slightly in mid-air.
However, in the next moment, he opened his five fingers and pushed forward with his palm, blocking the high wall of light that was pushing him.
Then, his other hand clenched into a fist and punched out.
The high wall formed by the light shattered with a bang.
However, in the next moment, another fist also punched toward Gao Shihui.
This fist was exactly the same as Gao Shihui's punch just now.
In fact, its strength was even stronger!
It was the classic principle of Kong Shengzhen's Sacred Evolving Prefecture, "drawing inferences from one case".
However, each of Gao Shihui's punches was stronger than the last.
Kong Shengzhen's "drawing inferences from one case" was soon unable to continue replicating Gao Shihui's iron fists.
If he fought with Gao Shihui's fist, he would only lose to Gao Shihui faster.
Therefore, in the next moment, the literary talent around Kong Shengzhen's body suddenly surged, and then it seemed to turn into a vast ocean that went straight to the sky.
The originally vast and mighty power kept on increasing.
On the ground, the other disciples of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture saw this and couldn't help but say in unison, "Boundless Sea and Sky!"
The Sacred Evolving Prefecture's achievements were immortalized and had always been the number one sacred ground of the Confucian school.
In addition to having many experts, the various books and records collected in the sacred ground were also exquisite and peerless.
From this, the three classic principles of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture were born, and they were also famous in the world, making all the scholars in the world yearn for them.
The classic principle that Kong Shengzhen was using at this moment was another level in addition to "drawing inferences from one case", and it was called "Boundless Sea and Sky."
Under the support of "Boundless Sea and Sky," Kong Shengzhen, who was already extremely skilled in the Confucian school, had even more literary talent, and it was as if it was magnified again.
Therefore, the rolling ocean formed by the light kept moving forward, and it swept toward the tall and thin man who was attacking in mid-air.
The tall and thin man seemed to turn a blind eye to it. He reached out with both hands and then split them in the middle.
Therefore, there was an extremely ferocious and terrifying power that forcibly split the ocean of light into two halves.
Then, the owner of both hands stepped forward and came to Kong Shengzhen's side in an instant.
He punched out, and there was a surge of light around Kong Shengzhen again, blocking Gao Shihui's fist.
Gao Shihui looked over and saw that the light enveloping Kong Shengzhen's body seemed to combine into a huge city.
At this moment, the literary talent seemed to have materialized.
However, it was more stable than a real city in the mortal world.
Seeing this scene, the people of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture were slightly relieved, but their hearts were also a bit heavy.
"He even used 'impregnable'?" Kong Xiang muttered to himself.
"Boundless Sea and Sky," "Impregnable," one attacking and one defending, and "drawing inferences from one case" were the three classic principles of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture.
The combination of the three was very rare in the world.
At this moment, Kong Shengzhen was using the three classic principles together, and Gao Shihui couldn't break through it for a while.
Seeing this, the tall and thin man in front of him wasn't disappointed. Instead, a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Kong Shengzhen looked at the enemy. Seeing the other party's expression, he suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.
Kong Shengzhen had dealt with Emperor Wei of the Great Wei Dynasty in the Northern Mang before.
The level that Gao Shihui was currently showing wasn't enough to kill the former ruler of the Northern Mang.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Kong Shengzhen saw Gao Shihui's fist suddenly change.
This change actually gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.
The next moment, a strong light exploded above the Sacred Evolving Prefecture.
Kong Xiang and the others below were all blinded by the light and hurriedly dodged.
The light was so fierce that even people thousands of miles away could see it.
Then, a violent airflow spread out in all directions, sweeping away all the living beings. It even destroyed the mountains around the Saint Evolving Mansion as easily as crushing dry weeds.
Everyone in the Sacred Evolving Prefecture was in a mess and resisted with difficulty.
Even so, even the disciples of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture who had cultivated to the Confucian Grandmaster Realm were pressed to the ground at this moment and couldn't even straighten their bodies.
Some people forced themselves to look up, and there seemed to be a few shadows flashing in the strong light.
However, they couldn't see anything clearly.
But the powerful force that erupted from it made everyone's heart tremble.
Even the most arrogant disciples of the Kong Family lost confidence in whether their Mansion Master could win at this moment.
Some of the people of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture who had experienced the battle more than 30 years ago felt that their nightmare had reappeared at this moment.
The scene of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture being in danger back then seemed to appear in front of them again.
After a short while, a voice came from the light.
"Surrender or perish."
The next moment, the light dissipated.
Everyone was still a bit unaccustomed to it. When they recovered and looked up, they saw that Gao Shihui had already arrived in front of Kong Shengzhen in the sky.
Kong Shengzhen seemed to be even older than before.
He coughed a few times. "If I really want to leave, you don't have full confidence that you can make I stay, right?"
Gao Shihui looked calm and didn't deny it. "How long can you escape for?"
Kong Shengzhen didn't answer. He looked down at the people of the Sacred Evolving Prefecture below.
"Those who surrender will live, and those who resist will die," Gao Shihui said lightly.
Following his words, Kong Xiang and the others below once again felt the almost suffocating pressure.
Under the suppression of the other party's fist intent, they only felt that every blood vessel in their body, no matter how big or small, was about to explode and shatter together.
Unfortunately, this time, no one could help them share the burden.
Kong Shengzhen was silent for a moment. After a while, he suddenly bowed to the other party. "The Sacred Evolving Prefecture is willing to welcome Your Majesty to the south. We only beg Your Majesty to be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones."
Gao Shihui glanced at him. "It's a deal."
Then, Kong Xiang and the others on the ground relaxed.
The pressure that was about to crush them suddenly disappeared.
Gao Shihui's figure floated down and landed in the house below.
Kong Shengzhen silently followed and then led Gao Shihui into his study.
Gao Shihui took Kong Shengzhen's seat.
And Kong Shengzhen stood quietly in front of him.
"There's no need to talk about other things. Xiao Qingpu will come and talk to you later," Gao Shihui said lightly.
Kong Shengzhen took a deep breath.
He naturally knew Xiao Qingpu's name.
He was the current dean of Northern Mang's Blue Nether Cave Academy. His cultivation was at the thirteenth realm, which was the fourth realm of Confucian Grandmasters. He was one of the few experts of Northern Mang's Confucian School.
Now, after a certain person's massacre in Northern Mang, Xiao Qingpu might be the only remaining thirteenth realm Confucian.
It was not too much to say that he was the number one person of Northern Mang's Confucian School.
Under the rule of the Northern Mang Great Emperor, "One Path" referred to the Blue Sea Sect, and "One Path" referred to Blue Nether Cave Academy.
Xiao Qingpu had traveled to the Central Plains to study when he was young. He had once received Kong Shengzhen's guidance when he came.
Now that they met, it was unknown whether he was more emotional or more embarrassed.
Gao Shihui seemed to have no interest in what Kong Shengzhen was thinking.
He just continued, "Report to me the current situation and whereabouts of the top experts of the Central Plains."
Kong Shengzhen looked at the tall and thin man in front of him. Slowly, he replied, "There are only two factions in the Central Plains that might be Your Majesty's enemy. One is Peng Ziling of Grand Purity Palace, and the other is Chang 'an City."
Gao Shihui's tone was indifferent. "I've heard of them."
Kong Shengzhen nodded and said, "Peng Ziling of the Tai Qing Palace is not always scheming and astute. But after all, he is alone. Comparatively speaking, Chang 'an City is where the Twelve Yama of the past have made a comeback."
"All twelve have returned?" Gao Shihui asked.
Kong Shengzhen shook his head. "Now, only seven, eight, eleven, and twelve can be confirmed. However …"
Slowly, he said, "… However, the four of them should not be the City Lord of Chang 'an. The City Lord of Chang' an is someone else. He should be someone who ranked higher among the Twelve Yama Kings of the past."
Gao Shihui nodded slightly, but he still did not say anything. He only motioned for Kong Shengzhen to continue.
Kong Shengzhen did not deliberately provoke him.
To be honest, he was now a little uncertain about the origin of this expert man in front of him.
The Twelve Yama Kings should not accept the surrender of the Saint Yan Manor.
However, the Twelve Yama Kings were clearly in internal strife during the incident of the Immortals.
The man in front of him might not be on the same side as Chang 'an.
On the other hand, by right, such a martial arts expert should not suddenly appear without any information about his origin.
However, it was not impossible for him to come from outside the Central Region.
Just like the woman who had stopped him from going to Chang 'an City earlier.
But for Mansion Master Kong, it was as if he was in a fog. It was better to stay still than to move.
"Su Po, who ranked seventh among the Twelve Yama Kings of the past, is rumored to be wandering outside for some unknown reason."
Kong Shengzhen only told him what he knew. "Chu Yaoguang, who ranked eighth, is said to be not in Chang 'an City now.
Ao Kong, who ranked eleventh, used to wreak havoc in the territory of the Daning Dynasty. Recently, there was news that he suddenly disappeared, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
Shen Herong, who ranked twelfth, is said to be in Chang 'an City.
And the City Lord of Chang 'an lives in seclusion all year round and rarely shows himself. "
Kong Shengzhen looked at the tall and thin man in front of him and continued, "But not long ago, the City Lord of Chang 'an personally took down many 13th Realm experts in one battle. His cultivation and strength should not be inferior to back then."
Gao Shihui listened quietly, then nodded and stood up. "Xiao Qingpu will arrive in the Central Region in three days and meet with you."
Kong Shengzhen bowed to him. "Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shihui nodded and then left.
Kong Shengzhen watched him disappear and stood where he was in silence.
The others of the Saint Yan Manor were even more confused.
The other party came suddenly and then left suddenly.
He didn't leave anything behind and didn't take anything away. It made people wonder if it was an illusion.
But that terrifying feeling just now stayed in their hearts, telling them that it was not an illusion.
The other party had actually left something invisible.
Fear and conquest.
Kong Xiang and the others all had complicated expressions as they gathered in front of Kong Shengzhen.
Kong Shengzhen withdrew his gaze and looked around. Finally, he said, "Get ready. When the people of Blue Nether Cave Academy arrive, receive them well and do as they say."
Kong Xiang and the others were all shocked.
Were they really going to surrender to the Northern Mang?
"Father, he's already left. Why don't we contact Emperor Qian and Perfected Peng of Tai Qing Palace?" Kong Xiang couldn't help but ask.
"No need."
Kong Shengzhen didn't mind the doubts of Kong Xiang and the others, but he didn't change his mind. "Just do as you're told."
