Chapter 45: Li Yan, one of the six thieves of the Northern Song, is dead

Great Song, Lin'an, in the imperial palace.

"I wonder what Your Majesty's intention is..."

Prime Minister Cai Jing was composed. Facing Zhao Ji's inquiry, he did not answer but asked in return.

"What do I want?!"

"Various countries are furious, what can I do?!"

"Since the envoys of various countries want the Quanzhen Sect to apologize, then let the Quanzhen Sect apologize!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji spoke lightly. Without asking for the reason, he directly wanted the Quanzhen Sect to apologize to the various countries.

"I don't care how the Quanzhen Sect apologizes, as long as it can dispel the fury of the various countries!"

"I have been too kind! If it weren't for me considering the overall situation, under the fury of the various countries, they would send troops to crusade, and my Great Song people would surely fall into deep water and scorching fire!"

"For the sake of Great Song, I am truly... having such a hard time! Sigh!"

Zhao Ji sighed toward the sky, seemingly moved by himself.

"Indeed! Your Majesty has maintained the situation of Great Song all these years... it truly hasn't been easy!"

Cai Jing nodded, seemingly feeling the same way. He changed the subject and said, "In that case, this old minister thinks we can send Li Yan to the Quanzhen Sect to hold them accountable!"

"Li Yan?! That's fine!"

Zhao Ji thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, seemingly thinking of something. "Right! I remember when the envoys from various countries arrived last time, it was for a... child?!"

"They said this child created some kind of cultivation technique?! What a joke, what kind of technique could a child create?!"

"However! Since the envoys of various countries think this child created a technique and want to obtain this child... and this time it is another great disaster caused by the Quanzhen Sect, then... use this child as an apology!"

"Using a child to exchange for the Quanzhen Sect to be safe and sound, and to exchange for Great Song not to suffer from war... I imagine that child would be willing too!"

Using a child to dissipate the anger of various countries, Zhao Ji thought it was worth it, very worth it!

Of course, Zhao Ji couldn't be sure that a child could dissipate the anger of various countries, but let's try it first, what if it works?!

"Uh..."

Cai Jing was stunned. Although he knew Zhao Ji was unreliable, he didn't expect Zhao Ji to be this unreliable.

Using a child to exchange for the forgiveness of various countries?!

Your Majesty, are you serious?!

Moreover, there is only one child, who should this child be handed over to?!

Will the various countries really agree?!

Cai Jing wanted to speak but stopped. But in the end, he thought about it and still said nothing.

Soon, the eunuch Li Yan, carrying Zhao Ji's imperial decree, headed to the Quanzhen Sect.

Mount Zhongnan, Quanzhen Sect, in the Wang Wang Chongyang Palace.

The eunuch Li Yan, followed by a group of eunuchs, held the imperial decree high in his right hand, standing at the highest point in the Wang Wang Chongyang Palace.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen, along with a group of Quanzhen disciples, stood below, respectfully listening to the imperial decree. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====

"I am Li Yan, acting on His Majesty's orders to proclaim the decree!"

"Quanzhen Sect, His Majesty has a decree!"

"The edict says: ...Unauthorized killing of secret agents from various countries, provoking disputes among various countries, rebellious and unfilial, the crime deserves death! However, I have compassion for the common people of the world... considering the Quanzhen Sect did not do it intentionally... therefore, I order Li Li Li Zhangsheng, the youngest disciple of Wang Wang Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect, to immediately go to Lin'an to apologize to the envoys of various countries!"

"Using a mere child to stop the wars of the world, this is the supreme glory of this child, very good!"

The meaning of the imperial decree is to say that the Quanzhen Sect unauthorizedly beheaded secret agents from various countries, wanting to provoke disputes among various countries, and should be exterminated, but I, having compassion for the world... and feeling that the Quanzhen Sect did not do it intentionally... therefore, let Li Li Li Zhangsheng go to Lin'an to apologize to the envoys of various countries.

Using a child to let the world return to peace, this is the glory of that child, too good!

That is roughly the meaning.

"...Respect this!"

"Everyone, are you not going to accept the decree?!"

The eunuch Li Yan said arrogantly.

"Wh... what?! You want Junior Martial Brother to go to Lin'an to apologize to the envoys of various countries?! This... Junior Martial Brother is only eight years old?!"

"And supreme glory?! And very good?! Using a child to apologize, the Great Song Emperor can actually think of this?!"

"That's right! It was clearly the secret agents of various countries who first spied on our Quanzhen Sect, are we not allowed to fight back?! Moreover, these are secret agents! Do you understand what a secret agent is?!"

"Disgusting! Truly disgusting!"

"..."

Furious!

The entire Quanzhen Sect was furious!

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen did not speak, their faces were also very ugly, and no one stepped forward to accept the decree.

You must know, Li Li Li Zhangsheng is their Junior Martial Brother. Letting Li Li Li Zhangsheng enter Lin'an, isn't this like a sheep entering a tiger's den?!

If Master knew they dared to accept such a decree, he would probably skin them alive, right?!

"You... what do you want to do?!"

"Rebel?!"

Li Yan looked at the agitated Quanzhen disciples, his face changed greatly, his heart was terrified, and he shouted tremblingly.

Once these words were spoken, the entire Quanzhen Sect suddenly became quiet.

Rebel?!

Involving these two words, the matter was huge!

"Rebel?! We dare not!"

"But this decree, we will not accept it either!"

Just then, Ma Yu slowly stood out and said expressionlessly.

"You... are you sure?!"

Li Yan asked again, as if he had heard wrong.

"Of course!"

Ma Yu did not hesitate at all this time and responded directly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Don't you regret it!"

Li Yan spoke in a rage. He originally thought that coming to the Quanzhen Sect to proclaim the decree was a very simple matter. He didn't expect that these Quanzhen Sect Daoist priests would dare not accept the decree?!

Is there any law left?!

Is there any heavenly principle left?!

In the room, Li Li Li Zhangsheng's spiritual sense was extremely sensitive, and he naturally discovered everything that happened in the Wang Wang Chongyang Palace.

"Eunuch Li Yan?! Is that one of the legendary 'Six Thieves of the Northern Song'?!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this name.

"Want me to go to Lin'an to apologize to the envoys of various countries?!"

"And say that by using me alone, the world will stop fighting, and I should feel honored?!"

"Heh! Hehehe!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng was angered into laughter. Is this the Great Song monarch and ministers?

He thought he was mentally prepared and could accept the incompetence of the Song monarch and ministers, but he didn't expect that the Song monarch and ministers were not only extremely incompetent but also so shameless.

Would Li Li Li Zhangsheng indulge him?!

That's definitely not happening!

He must settle the score with the Zhao Song monarch and ministers!

So, first, start with the eunuch Li Yan in front of him!

"Sword-Controlling Art, appear!"

"Azure Heaven Sword, slash!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred, a beam of cyan light, with a swish, cut through the void. The sword was like thunder, unstoppable.

"Junior Martial Brother! No!"

In the Wang Wang Chongyang Palace, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen sensed a flash of sword light, were shocked, and shouted urgently, but it was already too late!

The sword light flickered, accompanied by thunder, cutting Li Yan and the group of eunuchs in half.

Under the thunder, they directly turned into several charred corpses!

At the same time, a golden imperial decree floated down, also cut in half, and then fell to the ground.

Thus, Li Yan, one of the six thieves of the Northern Song, died under Li Li Li Zhangsheng's Azure Heaven Sword!

"This... Junior Martial Brother! You... you have caused a great disaster!"

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen looked at the scene in front of them in horror, couldn't help but stomp their feet, their expressions quite terrified.

"Wrong!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng floated over, and the Azure Heaven Sword returned to his dantian.

"What... is wrong?!"

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were stunned, somewhat confused!

"Several Senior Martial Brothers, and Senior Martial Sister, it is not I who have caused a great disaster!"

"It is the Song monarch and ministers... who have caused a great disaster!"

Li Li Li Zhangsheng responded lightly, his face expressionless, but in his tone, there seemed to be a faint killing intent flowing. ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
