Chapter 79

Xianyang City.

Inside the Yin-Yang School stronghold.

When Zhao Mingqu was taken away from the Wang Fu by Ge Nie,

several members of the Yin-Yang School who were lurking around Zhao Mingqu’s Wang Fu observing,

had already rushed back to the Yin-Yang School stronghold at the first opportunity, bringing the news to report.

After learning the news, Donghuang Taiyi immediately summoned all the experts and Elders of the Yin-Yang School.

"Tell me what happened."

After seeing that all the people who should have arrived were present, Donghuang Taiyi spoke in a deep voice to the disciple who had returned with the news, ordering him to tell the news to all the Elders.

Swish, swish, swish—

The gazes of Star Soul, Luna, Da Siming, and others instantly landed on the Yin-Yang School disciple dressed in black.

Being stared at by the high-level members of the Yin-Yang School, including Donghuang Taiyi, the disciple felt a powerful pressure and dared not hesitate.

"Reporting to all Elders..."

"Zhao Mingqu’s Wang Fu was slaughtered last night..."

"It was a group calling themselves 'Ghosts' who infiltrated the Wang Fu and slaughtered Zhao Mingqu’s wife and children!"

"After slaughtering Zhao Mingqu’s wife and children, the Ghosts hung their bodies outside the gate of the Wang Fu..."

"Furthermore, they painted various slogans on the walls of the Wang Fu, which exposed Zhao Mingqu as one of the murderers who plotted against Young Master Mo and the Annan Army five years ago..."

The Yin-Yang School disciple reported all the intelligence and information one by one.

Luna and the others,

listening to the news reported by the disciple,

all had their expressions change drastically,

and a trace of shock flashed in their eyes!

"Zhao Mingqu has been completely exposed!"

"How could this useless thing be exposed?!"

"It must be because this dog sent his subordinates to find trouble with the Ghosts!"

"If he hadn't gone to find trouble with the Ghosts in the first place, how could there be so much trouble?!"

"..."

All the experts of the Yin-Yang School appeared very angry at this moment.

They were gnashing their teeth at Zhao Mingqu’s exposure, and also felt some anxiety.

You must know...

If this matter is not handled well, it might involve the Yin-Yang School!

If the Yin-Yang School is involved,

and targeted by Ying Zheng,

then things will not be fun at all!

If Ying Zheng were dead, they could play as they pleased, unscrupulous...

But now Ying Zheng is not dead!!!!

So they must be cautious in everything they do, and must never let Ying Zheng discover them!

After hearing the news reported by the disciple, Donghuang Taiyi seemed to fall into a state of silence, but everyone could see the cold and icy light flickering in his eyes beneath the mask, with anger dancing within!!!

This matter,

clearly made Donghuang Taiyi angry as well!!!

"Leader..."

Luna said with a solemn expression, asking Donghuang Taiyi: "The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic and confusing, and the situation is becoming increasingly tense..."

"Our Yin-Yang School..."

"How should we conduct ourselves next?!"

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Donghuang Taiyi, waiting for his answer.

Being stared at by everyone’s gazes,

Donghuang Taiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, the cold light in his eyes becoming more intense.

He did not speak,

and for a time, everyone else fell silent,

waiting for Donghuang Taiyi to speak and decide how to handle this matter.

After a long silence,

Donghuang Taiyi stood up slowly,

and a hoarse, low voice came from beneath his mask.

"This matter must be resolved..."

"I will go see Zhao Mingqu myself..."

"The power in his hands must not easily fall into Ying Zheng’s hands..."

"And even more so, it must not fall into the hands of other forces; either it is destroyed, or I control it within the Yin-Yang School!"

Hearing these words from Donghuang Taiyi, everyone from the Yin-Yang School present nodded slightly, feeling that he was right.

After speaking,

Donghuang Taiyi walked toward the door of the hall,

preparing to find an opportunity to meet with the already exposed Zhao Mingqu and resolve the problem.

"Leader..."

Just as Donghuang Taiyi had walked a few steps, Star Soul suddenly stood up: "I will go with you..."

As soon as Star Soul’s words were spoken, Donghuang Taiyi’s footsteps paused slightly.

He turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

"The Ghost’s cultivation realm has already broken through to the Grandmaster realm..."

Seeing Donghuang Taiyi looking back at him, Star Soul showed a solemn expression on his face: "He is now very likely monitoring Zhao Mingqu, and there is a possibility that you will be exposed if you go over..."

Star Soul’s considerations were also very reasonable.

Since Zhao Mingqu’s background had already been dug up by the Ghost group,

it meant that

the Ghost people must still be watching Zhao Mingqu now.

If Donghuang Taiyi were to go see Zhao Mingqu now, he would very likely run into the Ghost people.

It was even possible

that he would meet the Ghost directly.

"No need."

Donghuang Taiyi stopped, looked back at Star Soul, and after a moment of silence, shook his head slightly: "I can go by myself."

"But... Leader..."

Star Soul and the others showed a hint of anxiety on their faces: "That Ghost has already broken through to the Grandmaster realm; if you run into him..."

Star Soul did not finish the rest of his sentence,

but everyone understood,

his meaning was that if Donghuang Taiyi ran into the Grandmaster-realm Ghost,

he would very likely be in danger, be detained by the Ghost, or even be killed by the Ghost.

"The Ghost now is clearly already blinded by blood..."

Luna also looked at Donghuang Taiyi with a solemn face and said: "If you go to contact him at this time, he might have the intention to kill!!!"

"Kill me?!"

A look of disdain appeared on Donghuang Taiyi’s face beneath the mask, and he snorted lightly.

He was too lazy to say more,

"I will go by myself!"

After speaking,

Donghuang Taiyi insisted on his own opinion,

stepped out, and his figure instantly disappeared from where he stood.

Watching Donghuang Taiyi’s insistence, the high-level experts of the Yin-Yang School present all showed a hint of anxiety on their faces.

"Get ready!"

"Support the Leader at any time!"

"Notify the others; if an accident occurs, join forces to kill the Ghost!"

Star Soul’s eyes shone with cold light, and he gritted his teeth: "This Ghost must be treated with caution!!!"

The high-level members of the Yin-Yang School, hearing Star Soul’s words, all had very solemn expressions and nodded in deep agreement, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense.

Soon,

the people of the Yin-Yang School

began to make preparations,

so that if Donghuang Taiyi had an accident,

they would have to rush to support him at the first opportunity and help Donghuang Taiyi deal with the Grandmaster-realm Ghost together!

After Zhao Mingqu left the imperial palace,

he only felt his whole body go soft, and a bone-deep chill surged over him.

"Ying Zheng..."

"Has he already determined that the matter of Young Master Mo has to do with me?!"

"If he has determined that the matter of Young Master Mo has to do with me..."

"Why doesn't he kill me?! Why only strip me of my power?!"

"What exactly is he thinking?!"

"This person, Ying Zheng, is absolutely impossible to be as calm as he looks right now..."

Thinking of the situation in the great hall just now when facing Ying Zheng, a deep sense of fear and confusion flashed in the depths of Zhao Mingqu’s eyes.

From the moment he decided to eliminate Young Master Mo five years ago,

Zhao Mingqu had prepared himself mentally;

if Ying Zheng found out,

he would surely die.

Now, Ying Zheng’s reaction

was completely beyond his expectations, leaving him unable to understand what Ying Zheng was thinking!

Thinking of all sorts of messy things in his heart,

Zhao Mingqu returned to his Wang Fu.

Inside the Wang Fu,

someone had already collected all the corpses,

but...

the heavy smell of blood in the Wang Fu

could not be cleared away at all; upon returning to the Wang Fu, Zhao Mingqu could smell that heavy, bloody scent!

"Ghost!!!"

Thinking of the tragic scene in the Wang Fu last night, thinking of his children and grandchildren being slaughtered by the Ghost’s people...

In Zhao Mingqu’s heart,

a bone-deep, surging hatred could not help but emerge!

"These remnants of the Annan Army..."

"Why weren't they killed off completely back then?!"

"If all the remnants of the Annan Army had been killed off, how could there be such things now?!"

"It was all those dog things, they didn't clean up properly, leaving behind hidden dangers..."

Zhao Mingqu did not regret taking action against the Annan Army and Young Master Mo back then.

What he regretted now

was not eliminating all the remnants of the Annan Army back then,

and at the same time, he felt a gnashing hatred for those who had cooperated with him; they hadn't handled the matter beautifully back then!

"Master..."

As soon as Zhao Mingqu returned, the old steward of the Wang Fu came to him with a terrified expression: "Are you alright?!"

"The Emperor..."

"What did he say to you?!"

The old steward of the Wang Fu also had eyes full of anxiety and terror.

Although he was slightly happy that the Prince was able to return,

there was more fear...

"I'm fine..."

Zhao Mingqu was in no mood to talk about what happened with Ying Zheng in the great hall. He gritted his teeth: "Get ready, we are leaving Xianyang..."

Zhao Mingqu was still unwilling!!!

To let him be an idle Prince, without power or influence, to be manipulated by Ying Zheng at any time...

He felt he might as well take a gamble, leave Xianyang City, go to his fief, take his soldiers and horses, and leave the territory of Great Qin...

With over a hundred thousand elite soldiers,

even if he left the territory of Great Qin, he could still be a local Emperor; wouldn't that be better than being an idle Prince without power or influence?!

"Understood!"

The old steward’s spirit was lifted, and he nodded: "I will go make preparations right away!"

"Take nothing!"

"Travel light!"

"The faster, the better!!!"

Zhao Mingqu gave another order to the steward, telling him to speed up.

The old steward dared not hesitate,

immediately quickened his pace, and went to prepare things.

Watching the old steward leave,

Zhao Mingqu’s eyes flickered, and after taking a deep breath to suppress the fear in his heart,

he stepped toward the direction of the secret room.

Preparing to take away some important things from the secret room.

The impact caused by the Ghost’s people

breaking into the Wang Fu last night was simply too great;

his subordinates had suffered countless casualties, and the children and grandchildren left in the Wang Fu were basically finished.

"If this hatred is not avenged..."

Thinking of the Ghost, a deep sense of hatred surged in the depths of Zhao Mingqu’s eyes, and he gritted his teeth: "I will not be a man!!!"

Even now,

he still wanted to seek revenge on the Ghost.

Zhao Mingqu walked into the secret room,
