In the encampment of the Army of God, Commandant Deng Mingqing was sitting on a bamboo couch with his eyes closed.
His trusted attendant ran over with a face full of joy. He bowed and said, "Commandant, Army Marquis Zhu is back."
Deng Mingqing opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed. His expression didn't change much, as if everything was within his expectations. He said, "Got it. Send the news to Yao Mugong."
The trusted attendant bowed in response and immediately retreated.
After a while, Zhu Que strode in and came to him. He cupped his fists and said, "Commandant, Zhu Que has returned to report."
Deng Mingqing looked at him and said, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Zhu Que said, "No, but my brother is dead." After a pause, he added, "It's not a big deal. Now that he's dead, my shadow body will become stronger."
Deng Mingqing said, "It's good that you're fine. With Qi Shu dead, Xuanfu is no longer a concern. But we have more than one opponent. When the Army of God comes, you'll need to continue to contribute."
Zhu Que said straightforwardly, "As Commandant says."
Deng Mingqing reminded him, "Remember, don't use too much ancient divine power."
Zhu Que said casually, "I understand. It's not my own power. I'll take care of it."
Deng Mingqing nodded and said, "You've always made me feel at ease."
He tried to stand up, but after sitting for so long, his blood vessels were a little sluggish. His body swayed slightly as if he was about to fall back. Zhu Que immediately came up to support him.
Deng Mingqing steadied himself and motioned for Zhu Que to let go. The latter immediately took a few steps back.
Deng Mingqing looked at Auspicious Light City and said with emotion, "We've finally reached this step. But we haven't achieved our goal yet. We still need to be patient and not let our guard down."
Zhu Que was silent. He didn't know what Deng Mingqing wanted to do, but he didn't care. As long as Deng Mingqing was alive, he would do whatever the other party told him to do. He didn't need to care about the reasons and reasons.
Deng Mingqing came back to his senses and said, "Go to Commandant An for me. You don't need to do anything. Just stay there. When the time is right, I'll call you back."
Zhu Que responded, cupped his fists, and strode out.
In the Yao Manor, Duke Mu Yao Hongyi listened to the reports from his subordinates and confirmed that Zhu Que had indeed returned from outside. He couldn't help but become spirited, as if he had become much younger in an instant. He said, "Wen Zhen."
The middle-aged scholar clasped his hands and said, "Your student is here."
Yao Hongyi said, "I need to go to the Commissar to see Liu Fu Gong. You go and pass this news to the other officials."
The middle-aged official was also very excited at this moment and said, "This student accepts the order."
After Yao Hongyi gave his instructions, he stepped out of the house and boarded a carriage that had already been prepared, heading towards Auspicious Light City.
After arriving in the city, he walked all the way to the administration office. Without needing to report, he walked directly to the Hall of Affairs and directly asked to see Liu Fengquan.
A short while later, Liu Fengquan came out from inside to greet him. He raised his sleeves and bowed, saying, "Why has Yao Mugong come?"
In reality, Duke Mu was only an honorable position. In name, he was on par with the Commissioner, but he didn't hold any power. Normally, he would only be invited to discuss important matters.
As the Commissioner, Liu Fengquan naturally didn't want anyone to interfere with his work. Moreover, he didn't like Yao Hongyi in his heart, so he had always been indifferent to him.
After returning the bow, Yao Hongyi didn't say anything. Instead, he directly said, "Duke Fu, do you know that the sky has changed?"
Liu Fengquan frowned and said, "Yao Mugong, what do you want to say?"
Yao Hongyi smiled, pointed to the surroundings, and said, "Does the Duke's Mansion want to listen here?"
Liu Fengquan glanced at him and stepped to the side, saying, "Please."
Yao Hongyi nodded and walked into the inner hall. Liu Fengquan also walked in. He came to the main seat and sat down. After waiting for Yao Hongyi to take his seat, he said, "There's no one here. What is it, Yao Mugong, you can speak clearly."
Yao Hongyi looked at him and said, "Qi Huan is already dead."
Liu Fengquan didn't react for a moment, "Who?" But then his expression changed, "Who did you say?"
Yao Hongyi sighed and said, "Who else could it be other than Xuanfu's Xuan Shou Qi Huan, worthy of our discussion?"
Liu Fengquan's expression changed several times. He forced himself to calm down and stared at Yao Hongyi, saying, "How did he die? When did this happen? "
Yao Hongyi replied, "Just this morning. Army of God's Commander Hou Zhu Que challenged Xuanfu's Xuan Shou Qi Huan. I won't say the process, but you already know the final result."
Liu Fengquan sat there in a daze, thinking about the consequences and impact of this matter. But the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Xuanfu had been supported by Qi Huan alone all these years. It was only because of this that the Protectorate was able to play a balance between the Army of God and Xuanfu. But with Qi Huan's death, there was no one else who could keep the Army of God in check.
Then what would happen?
What would the Army of God do?
He really didn't dare to think about it anymore.
At this time, Yao Hongyi took out a letter from his sleeve. He stood up, walked to the table, and put the letter on the table, saying, "This is a letter of remonstrance that I wrote. Please take a look at it."
At this moment, in Auspicious Light City, a tall and sturdy man was walking on the road and looking at the inner city platform with interest.
He was the God of Massacre, Trotti. In the past, he had attached his consciousness to a believer to come to Auspicious Light City, but there was a power that he feared and hated hovering in the sky, so he could at most wander around the edge of the port and the city gate, unable to go deep into the inner city.
But now, that annoying power had disappeared, and there was nothing that could stop him.
However, although he was known as the God of Slaughter, he was not a brainless butcher. Pure slaughter could not please him, and slaughter was not his goal. Instead, he wanted to make more believers fear him and worship him, so that he could obtain more life force and spirituality, and thus strengthen his divinity and divine power.
He identified the direction and slowly walked toward the Commandant's camp in Auspicious Light City.
Liu Fengquan took the letter and looked at it. Just a few lines, his eyes widened, and as he continued to read, his fingers began to tremble slightly. By the time he finished reading the entire letter, his face was pale, and his body was drenched in cold sweat.
The letter said that the Army of God had reached an agreement with the gods of the Blood Sun, and even the gods that were still worshiped on the continent to form the Eastern Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God was willing to accept the people of Eastern Kingdom as believers, and all the administrative officials in the Protectorate could also maintain their original positions without any changes. However, Taiyang Academy and Xuanfu had to be demolished, and worship and temples rebuilt there to worship the gods of the Kingdom of God.
Of course, the most important point was to overthrow the Summer Gazing Platform, which was also to overthrow the fire beacon of Tianxia …
Liu Fengquan looked at the signature at the bottom of the letter, and there were many names that he was familiar with. At this moment, he could no longer maintain his composure. He stood up and slapped the letter on the hard ironwood table. He glared at Yao Hongyi with red eyes and said angrily, "You are rebelling! Rebelling! Rebelling! "He slammed the table and roared loudly.
Yao Hongyi said indifferently, "This is not rebelling, but complying with the general trend." He looked outside and seemed to be talking to himself, "Speaking of which, there should be gods walking in Auspicious Light City now. Where do you think they will go?"
Liu Fengquan suddenly felt a deep chill wrap around him from head to toe.
After a while, he fell back into his seat powerlessly, closed his eyes, and said as if he was about to collapse, "I will not write on the letter. Today, I will submit my resignation to the Governor."
"Liu Fengquan, this is not up to you."
Yao Hongyi said in a cold voice, "Do you think you can still escape at this time? At this moment, there are many people waiting for you to nod so that they can make a decision with you. How can you not stand up? Let me remind you that I'm the one who's here to negotiate with you, so I hope to use a kind and courteous method to resolve the problem. However, if those deities come to negotiate with you, they won't be able to reason with you anymore. "
At this time, he took two steps forward, pressed down on the letter, and then pushed it in front of Liu Fengquan. "Think about yourself, and then think about your clan relatives. You should know what the right choice is."
In the depths of Mount An.
Zhang Yu had already walked for a day and a night in this dusky land. Because everything that could be used for identification had been destroyed by that powerful force, everything that entered his eyes was replaced by gray and white, so he could only walk in a general direction.
At this time, the shadow of a sparse forest appeared in his field of vision, and as he walked forward, collapsed trees also appeared on the ground. It was clear that they would soon leave this land and enter the dense forest again.
But right at this time, he suddenly felt a trace of abnormality from the mysterious jade. His footsteps couldn't help but stop, and with a thought, he turned to Captain Mo who was following closely behind him and said, "Let's rest here for a bit before we continue."
Captain Mo respectfully said, "Yes."
Zhang Yu arrived at a collapsed tree trunk and sat down. It was only just now that the last bit of the deification's aftermath completely calmed down, and the radiance overflowing from his body had also been completely withdrawn.
Perhaps it was because of this that something had been triggered.
He took out the mysterious jade from his pocket, and after examining it for a bit, he immediately knew what it was.
Back then, when Head Xuan passed this mysterious jade to him, he had said that there was a seal passed down by a predecessor inside. He had also tried to investigate it, and it really did exist. However, it seemed like his cultivation wasn't enough before, so he couldn't observe it, but now, it seemed to have appeared on its own.
He thought for a bit, and then decided to investigate. When he came into contact with that seal, his expression couldn't help but change slightly. "This is …"
