Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Late at night, it was already midnight.

The Tengxiao General's Residence was brightly lit; aside from the Cloud Knights on duty, this vast mansion was abnormally quiet, making one feel a chill behind their back.

And the source of that chill naturally emanated from the General's Seat in the mansion.

"Unexpected, truly unexpected — your Old Xuan Family hides so deeply."

Countless documents were scattered around the General's Seat desk, yet only stacks of personal dossiers organized by Teng Xiao lay on the table.

Looking at these personal dossiers, Teng Xiao never in a million years imagined these people were all Cloud Knight soldiers privately recruited by Xuan Wu Di.

Here there are internal guards from the Artisanship Commission, and from the Divination Commission.....

Even the officers on rotation in the General's Residence are among them, and even the colonels under his own command have been infiltrated.

What on earth does Xuan Wu Di want to do?

Mutiny or rebellion?

Counting up, there are roughly eight to nine hundred people here, many of whom hold important posts in the army, and quite a few have great potential, enough to touch the threshold of the Destruction Path.

Especially the young colonels Bai Qi and Wei Qing under his command — capable fighters and leaders, simply the top pick for Cloud Knight colonels.

However Bai Qi's temperament is too cold, his fighting style too cruel; not like Jing Yuan with his moldable nature.

Thinking this, he picked up the dossier next to Xuan Wu Di's.

"Li Yong, died in battle ten years ago, left a son Li Chunxiao; at school he only got along with Xuan Ge, school evaluation calls him Xuan Ge's tagalong...."

Seeing this, a thought-provoking feeling emerged.

This Xuan Wu Di is raising a private army, and judging by the moves it looks like he's raising it for his son Xuan Ge.

Setting down the dossier, Teng Xiao's gaze fell on the General's Residence gate as he pondered, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk.

"I've held the Luo Fu General post for so many years, I shouldn't have done anything evil, so why would he do this....."

This expedition — if the Logistics Army hadn't been ambushed on a large scale, he truly wouldn't have discovered Xuan Wu Di's power had already taken initial shape.

Although the numbers aren't many, if they really make trouble, even he as General couldn't handle it perfectly.

Just kill Xuan Wu Di?

Teng Xiao shook his head; he could do it, but he mustn't.

First, he cannot find any reason to kill Xuan Wu Di.

Second, if he really did it, those thousand people might pull all kinds of tricks.

He Teng Xiao may not be the smartest among the Heavenly Generals, but he's been General for so many years.

This force could stay hidden until today — that's not the achievement of Xuan Wu Di alone, but the result of nearly a thousand people exerting themselves together to keep it hidden until now.

Can't kill him, can't even touch him.

No justification aside, killing him would bring too great a backlash, easily driving Xuan Ge into becoming a wildfire against the Xianzhou.

But if he doesn't kill Xuan Wu Di.... it's still rather difficult.

"Tch.... playing yin-yang tricks on me, huh."

Teng Xiao glanced at the data pad; the data on it was Xuan Wu Di's school grades and exam papers.

PE full marks, Poli.... Politics full marks, everything else dragged down completely.

"Ah.... if it wasn't you who exposed the Logistics Army's position, who would it be?"

Teng Xiao leaned back against the General's Seat, reached up and rubbed his brow, feeling a trace of fatigue.

He noticed Xuan Wu Di actually starting from Jing Liu's recent actions — after all, she took Xuan Ge as disciple, impossible not to notice.

Moreover, that kid Xuan Ge is just like Xuan Wu Di in both politics and physics — strong to the point of explosion.

At first meeting, he didn't want to use a sword, but used a long spear to tell him he wanted to enlist.

Not hiding it at all, just making him develop admiration for Xuan Ge, thereby entering the other's rhythm.....

"Sigh, Xuan Dao Tian, you have a worthy successor, really can't give the Xianzhou a whole strive...."

Teng Xiao covered his face with both hands, recalling the rebel army he personally executed eight hundred years ago — Xuan Ge's grandfather, Xuan Dao Tian.

That battle was not recorded in Xianzhou history, because Xuan Dao Tian's oath when raising troops was too righteous, threatening to overshadow the word "Alliance" in the Xianzhou Alliance.

Six generations refers to Xuan Ge, and counting up from him, the entire Old Xuan Family are.... rebels.

The Three Calamities of the Xianzhou — the Old Xuan Family can be called hundred-percent participants and leading figures.

From the first generation, the Old Xuan Family was the most valiant and warlike, killing those nobles who monopolized resources most ruthlessly, and likewise the leaders resisting the word "Alliance".

It's just that the Old Xuan Family's momentum was snapped by him and Yuan Shuai Hua personally.

By Xuan Dao Tian's generation it was the final afterglow; the opponent could fight him back and forth even without him activating his Vidyadhara authority, and he even had to concede slightly to Xuan Dao Tian.

So he doesn't even dare imagine what kind of monsters this father-son pair Xuan Wu Di and Xuan Ge are.

"Your Majesty, is his father very strong?"

Dali Hua didn't look at Xuan Ge going to the toilet, but turned her head to ask Xi Lian.

That sentence Xuan Ge just said to Jing Yuan, she cared about it deeply.

What does "Ling Sha won't let Xuan Ge know" mean?

She really wants to know why.

Could it be Xuan Ge's father has some secret that can't be known by Xuan Ge?

"Let me put it in a simple analogy: if the Shuhu Rebellion were faced by the Xuan father and son together, not saying they could completely repel or kill Shuhu, but they would absolutely beat him into a grandson."

This battle, while it appeared to be Jing Liu protecting the Logistics Army, in reality Xuan Wu Di had nearly killed his way through.

If Jing Liu and Xuan Wu Di had a kill-death stats board, she would discover her KD was much lower than Xuan Wu Di's.

"Then... if Xuan Ge is this strong against Father, why did he sacrifice himself in the official history?"

Da Li Hua did not understand, but she always felt she was about to touch the truth.

However, she still could not get past the issue of Xuan Ge's father's combat strength.

Why did he die?

Could it be that Xuan Ge's mother's death forced him to commit suicide for love as well?

"Da Li Hua, this question is very dangerous, you had best not inquire further."

Xi Lian stopped Da Li Hua from continuing to delve deeply into this question.

This matter involves things too deeply; even that woman Hua dare not speak of it, let alone her.

Back when I had not yet logged into the Xian Zhou, Ling Sha and Hua personally came looking for me.

Their purpose in finding me was very clear: because I can access memory nodes from before Weng Fa Luo Si, the two of them came to issue death threats.

"Ling Sha won't let you speak?"

"Correct."

Hearing Xi Lian's concise answer, Da Li Hua fell silent.

It seems this matter is not simple....

"Can you tell me how Xuan Ge's parents died?"

"Died in battle."

Da Li Hua frowned slightly, pouting somewhat dissatisfied with this answer.

"Even dying in battle requires a condition of death; don't treat me like a woman whose head is full of nothing but what positions she uses with Xuan Ge."

Xi Lian:?

"Is it not?"

"Hehe, I am." Da Li Hua smiled helplessly.

"I can only tell you they died in battle; if you want to know, go back and ask Ling Sha and Hua yourselves."

Don't think to wheedle this dangerous topic out of her mouth; Hua and Ling Sha have been watching her all along.

This matter involves the deep-seated grievances of the ancient Xian Zhou; if Xuan Ge finds out, I'm afraid it will trigger another great purge, setting the Xian Zhou ablaze.

This grievance runs too deep; Hua is one of those involved.

Moreover, the Foxian race and the Vidyadhara race are also the hands behind the scenes, with clear participation.

Actually, Dan Feng on the correct timeline is very clear on the severity of this matter.

Therefore, Dan Feng manufactured a Yin Yue Rebellion, thoroughly drawing Xuan Ge's gaze over, letting all his attention be placed on the shattering of the Yun Shang Five Braves.
