Chapter 783: Extra Sixteen

"……My father told me to make conquering the Xiongnu royal court my lifelong goal."

"When Huyan Kun rebuked the Great King for his arrogance, the Bai Li clan ancestors' blood boiled with excitement, hurriedly cheering for the Great King."

"When the Great King ordered Huyan Kun to go ask his father for a city, and as he struck Huyan Kun harder and harder with his wolf-tooth lance, even Ning De was moved."

"By this moment, to say his heart was completely unmoved would be false."

"The Great King's lance pierced Huyan Kun's throat directly. 'Chop off his head and send it to the Hall of Contemplating Splendor before my father's spirit.'"

"Ning De seemed to be meeting Lao San for the first time; he earnestly gazed at the heavenly canopy, even beginning to reflect on his former life……as if he had never paid attention to Lao San……"

"He never expected that this silver-tongued, deeply hidden Lao San actually had a bit of filial piety; his scummy father rarely reflected like this."

"Zhang Zong finally couldn't hold back, asking him: 'Your disliked son has avenged you. How do you feel? Do you now feel blind as well?'"

"Ning De: ……"

"His honest grandfather and He Zong hesitated a moment, then spoke gently: 'Zhen'er, did you really say you would conquer the Xiongnu royal court?' Looking at your behavior when you were alive, it really doesn't seem like it!"

"Ning De felt guilty; he didn't have such great ambitions, but at this moment he dared to admit……"

"He Zong had already been moved, 'Our Little Three is truly filial~'"

"Ning De steeled himself, '……Grandson also feels greatly relieved.'"

"Taizu heard it, gave a cold snort, didn't say a word, but his contempt was expressed fully."

"Taizu's attitude even made Zhang Zong quiet down; he glared fiercely at Ning De and sat down honestly, fearing he might be implicated, after all this troublesome thing was his choice."

"Ning De: ……"

"When will these days ever come to an end!"

"He didn't want to live……no, he was already dead."

"Boundless despair suddenly welled up; anyone who had been supreme for most of their life, after death ending up at the bottom of this contemptuous chain of yes-men, would feel despair just like him. He had been low for half a day—no!"

"He suddenly thought of a more terrifying possibility."

"If, if in the end Bai Li Jing, this unfilial son, relies on this heaven-defying martial power to ascend the throne, then…wouldn't he still have to see this unfilial son here?! That chattering, constantly scolding flowery-mouthed son of his, wouldn't he…rise up and tower over him with the support of all the ancestors!"

"Zhang Zong saw Ning De suddenly show a frightened expression, 'What? Did I just smack your head bad?!'"

"Ning De: ……It would be better if it were broken!"

"."

"On the heavenly canopy, the Great King ordered people to dig a big pit outside Martial Might City, then threw the Xiongnu corpses in to burn them, and the entire Hall of Yellow Springs grew quiet again."

"This is the afterlife abode of past emperors; they are all dead people, yet seeing the Great King, who still looks like a child, order the burning of corpses without changing expression still shocked them deeply. Ancient people who cared greatly about posthumous affairs had never seen such a ruthless figure!"

"The last emperor of the Zhou clan had his eyes red, he shouted: 'Such tyranny goes against heavenly harmony! With him, even ascending that throne would be unstable! I think your so-called great Jin is truly finished this time.'"

"'Yeah~ How could I think the Great Jin could still last another thousand eight hundred years! The Zhou clan is just feeling sorry for the steppe barbarians? No wonder your Great Zhou used to marry into the Xiongnu every day—turns out they were one family.' The Great King's high ancestor, An Zong, retorted loudly without courtesy."

"You! Impudent!"

"The quietly enduring Zhang Zong felt he could hold up again, first rolling up his sleeves to support his grandfather, 'A ruler of a fallen kingdom! Who is being impudent with whom?!'"

"You Bai Li commoners are truly ignorant and rude!"

"You noble ones—still weren't exterminated!"

"A group of people who valued dignity above all in life, after sitting here for hundreds of years, not to mention dignity, their personalities have completely changed; a group of people who had all been emperors almost disregarded dignity to engage in a mass brawl."

"How could the Great King know the liveliness here? He was secretly pleased. If he could see these ancestors of the Yellow Springs Realm, wouldn't he just perk up his tail waiting for a tiger to rub against it?"

"This king truly is a good child who is very responsible toward humanity and the environment~"
