Chapter 392: Third-generation disciples of Chan Sect all come out, Wen Zhong starts killing

~9 min read 1,636 words

Mount Yuquan

Golden Cloud Cave.

Perfected Yuding received the decree from Jade Void Palace and hurried back.

"Yuan Hong!" Finding that Yuan Hong was not in the cave dwelling, Perfected Yuding left the cave dwelling and called out, his voice echoing on Mount Yuquan.

Not long after, a figure dressed in tight clothes and with a sturdy figure hurried back from Mount Yuquan.

The person who came was Yuan Hong.

"Disciple pays respects to Master." Yuan Hong bowed.

Perfected Yuding looked at Yuan Hong and said, "Currently, my sect is carrying out the Investiture of the Gods according to the Dao Ancestor's decree. I have just received the decree from Jade Void Palace. Now Jiang Ziya's assistance to Zhou to conquer Shang in Xiqi is hindered, which will affect the great cause of my sect's Investiture of the Gods. You go to Xiqi immediately and fully assist your Junior Uncle Jiang."

Yuan Hong hesitated when he heard this.

He remembered that Jin Dasheng told him that it was two immortal heads of the Chan Sect who killed his subordinates.

Currently, only he and Jin Dasheng were left of the Seven Monsters of Meishan.

Because of his hesitation, Jin Dasheng even fell out with him.

Now that he was asked to help the Chan Sect, what should he do?

Sensing Yuan Hong's hesitation, Perfected Yuding's eyes were full of doubt.

"Yuan Hong, do you have any concerns?"

Yuan Hong shook his head.

"Disciple was thinking about some things just now. Master, don't worry, disciple will definitely go to Xiqi to assist Junior Uncle Jiang and complete the great cause of my sect's Investiture of the Gods!"

Perfected Yuding nodded slightly, "You are gifted. Although you have practiced the Eight-Nine Profound Art for many years and learned many skills, and have the protection of the Profound Art, you are invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire. But the thieves of the Jie Sect have been obstructing my sect's Investiture of the Gods. Your several Junior Uncles and Senior Uncles have been plotted by the Jie Sect if they are not careful. So, for the trip to Xiqi, you must not be careless or underestimate the enemy. This time, you must listen to Ziya's dispatch and work together with your Junior Brothers to complete the great cause of my sect's Investiture of the Gods."

A look of unruliness flashed in Yuan Hong's eyes, and he bowed, "Master's teachings, disciple will keep in mind."

"Go." Perfected Yuding said slowly.

After Yuan Hong made some preparations, he left the cave dwelling, turned into a stream of light, and flew toward Xiqi.

Watching Yuan Hong's departing figure, Perfected Yuding frowned slightly.

Because Yang Jian was snatched away, he took Yuan Hong as a replacement.

"In these years, Yuan Hong's fierce and unruly temperament has been polished, but I don't know if it can be completely controlled."

At this time.

Chaoge.

Wen Zhong returned from Xiqi.

Every time he brought troops back before, he always returned in triumph.

But this time he returned in a sorry state, and Wen Zhong felt very uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that he had failed the late king's entrustment.

Riding the Ink Qilin into Chaoge City.

The unsuspecting people were watching and shouting the name of Grand Master Wen.

At this time, a message talisman flew over from the horizon.

Wen Zhong was puzzled.

He raised his hand to catch the flying message talisman.

After reading the content on it, Wen Zhong frowned slightly.

"Junior Brother, let me kill Fei Zhong and You Hun this time when I return, and then go to the East Sea to suppress the rebellion?"

"If the two are not killed, when I am not in Chaoge, they might slander the King, leading to turmoil in the court, thereby endangering the Shang Dynasty?"

Wen Zhong had been fighting outside for many years and did not know Fei Zhong and You Hun at all, but thinking of what Gu Xiu said, it was basically not false.

He had already made up his mind.

He planned to send someone to collect the usual deeds of the two when he returned, and report to execute Fei Zhong and You Hun at the morning court tomorrow. If Di Xin was unwilling, he would forcibly use the King-Beating Whip to beat Fei Zhong and You Hun to death on the spot.

After going to the palace to pay respects to Di Xin and telling him about the current situation in Xiqi.

Wen Zhong returned to the Grand Master's Mansion.

Since he was back, Wen Zhong could not be absent from the daily morning court.

The next day, early in the morning, Wen Zhong wore black court clothes, a golden crown on his head, held the King-Beating Whip in his hand, and rode the Ink Qilin to the Noon Gate of the palace, and entered the palace together with the officials who came to attend the morning court.

Inside the main hall.

In the court.

Di Xin sat on the throne and scanned the ministers, "I believe you all know that Grand Master Wen returned yesterday and plans to rest for two days before going to the East Sea to suppress the rebellion. Tonight, I plan to hold a banquet to see off the Grand Master."

"The King is wise. The Grand Master has worked hard and made great contributions, and has been fighting outside for many years for the stability of my Shang Dynasty. Going to the East Sea to suppress the rebellion this time, the journey is long, we should see off the Grand Master."

Seeing the officials respond in unison, Di Xin looked at Wen Zhong.

"What does the Grand Master think?"

Wen Zhong stepped out, bowed, and said loudly, "King, I don't care about the farewell banquet, but I have important matters to report. This time I returned from Xiqi, although the war was unfavorable and I could not take Xiqi, I will definitely reorganize my troops after I suppress the King of Pingling in the East Sea to wash away my shame. However, there are treacherous officials in the court now. If they are not removed, I am afraid it will endanger my Shang Dynasty."

Di Xin frowned slightly, "Who is the treacherous official the Grand Master refers to?"

Wen Zhong raised his head, his eyes like torches, pointing to Fei Zhong and You Hun who were standing on the side, and said sternly, "It is Fei Zhong and You Hun! These two usually form cliques for personal gain, cover the ears and eyes of the Saint, and slander the Majesty, causing turmoil in the court and corruption of discipline. If they are not executed, the court will not be peaceful, and the country will not be stable!"

When Fei Zhong and You Hun heard this, their faces instantly turned as pale as paper.

The two hurriedly stepped out, knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried, "King, we are wronged! The Grand Master must have listened to the slander of villains, so he has this misunderstanding about us. We are loyal to the Majesty and the Shang Dynasty, and have absolutely no disloyalty!"

Di Xin showed hesitation. You Hun and Fei Zhong usually spoke nicely and won his heart. It would be a pity to kill them. He looked at Wen Zhong and said, "Grand Master, Fei Zhong and You Hun, although they occasionally make mistakes, their crimes are not enough to die. And now is the time to employ people, I hope the Grand Master can be lenient."

Wen Zhong's heart sank, he stepped forward and said loudly, "King, the harm of these two is by no means a momentary mistake. They turn black and white in the court and exclude dissidents. Over time, it will definitely shake the foundation of the country. The late king gave me the King-Beating Whip to punish treacherous officials and stabilize the court. Today, if the Majesty is unwilling to execute these two, I have no choice but to use the King-Beating Whip to bring them to justice on the spot!"

After saying that, Wen Zhong raised the King-Beating Whip and walked toward Fei Zhong and You Hun.

When the two saw this, they were scared pale.

"King, save us, Grand Master Wen is crazy."

"King, Grand Master Wen is obviously taking revenge for his position, obviously not putting you in his eyes."

The two kept dodging, but Fei Zhong and You Hun were civil officials, and Wen Zhong was a military general, so it was easy to kill them.

Looking at the two, he said slowly, "You two have caused chaos in the court, and your crimes are unforgivable. Today is your death date!"

After saying that, Wen Zhong gave a roar and swung the King-Beating Whip,

Hitting Fei Zhong squarely. Fei Zhong screamed, his body flew out, smashed heavily on the hall pillar, vomited blood, and died on the spot.

You Hun was so scared that he slumped to the ground, unable to dodge at all. As the King-Beating Whip in Wen Zhong's hand fell, he also died, his body curled up on the side, and there was no movement.

In the court, the ministers were in an uproar, some showing horror, some secretly applauding.

Wen Zhong withdrew the King-Beating Whip and bowed to Di Xin, "King, the treacherous officials have been removed. May my Great Shang court be clear and the country be stable forever."

Di Xin looked at the two corpses, sighed in his heart, and sighed for a long time, "The Grand Master's move is really for the sake of the Great Shang country. I hope you ministers will take this as a warning and assist me wholeheartedly, and don't repeat the same mistakes." ===== CHAPTER 393 =====
