Chapter 20

……

Great Ming.

Taiping Prince's Mansion.

The Prince of Taiping, wearing purple royal robes and round and chubby, was enjoying a massage from his favorite concubine.

Suddenly, there were peals of thunder outside.

Which scared the Prince of Taiping, who was enjoying himself, half to death.

The Prince of Taiping didn't even have time to put on his shoes before running out of the house.

Looking up at the sky.

Good fellow!

That was hundreds of feet, or even thousands of feet long.

Purple thunder that couldn't be seen at a glance filled the firmament!

Making the Prince of Taiping swallow his saliva in fear!

Immediately after, the purple thunder dissipated.

Purple energy permeated the firmament.

Golden light broke through the dawn.

The Azure Cloud List appeared across the sky!

This made the Prince of Taiping's mood calm down a lot.

At this time.

His concubines also hurriedly brought out the shoes for the Prince of Taiping.

The Prince of Taiping put on his shoes, had someone move a chair out, sat on the chair, and calmed his mood.

He began to appreciate this sudden celestial phenomenon!

One person after another made the Azure Cloud List.

There were disciples of famous sects like Zhang Zhang Cuishan!

There were rulers of nations like Ying Zheng!

And there were important officials of the country like Su Zhe!

This made the Prince of Taiping, who always liked hunting for novelties, very happy!

Soon.

He saw his son, Gong Jiu, appear on the Azure Cloud List.

The moment he saw Gong Jiu make the list.

The Prince of Taiping was very happy.

He stood up directly and shouted excitedly: "Did you see that!"

"Did you see that!"

"My Jiu'er made the list!"

"My Jiu'er has the bloodline of a divine dragon!"

"Making this Azure Cloud List is well-deserved!"

As a result, the Prince of Taiping hadn't been happy for long.

When he saw the Azure Cloud List mention him!

The Prince of Taiping was so scared that his liver trembled!

The words "Prince of Taiping planning a rebellion" fell into his eyes, and they were so striking!

The Prince of Taiping was so scared that he sat back down on the chair with a thud!

"It's over..."

"It's over!"

"The great cause is not yet achieved, and it has collapsed halfway!"

"Someone, quickly invite the Taiping Immortal!"

"This King has urgent matters to discuss with the Immortal!"

……

Great Ming.

Jubei City!

The Great Ming Emperor guards the national gate!

This is the tradition of the Great Ming!

And this Jubei City is the first city of the Great Ming to resist the Northern Great Qing!

I don't know how much blood and flesh of Great Ming soldiers have been left under this Jubei City!

At this time.

In Jubei City.

At a wine stall.

A young man wearing a white fox cloak and gorgeous clothes had just sat down!

"Waiter, bring wine!"

The young man said faintly.

The waiter over there hurriedly brought a jar of daughter-red wine to the young man.

The young man had a delicate face, but there was a hint of evil between his brows!

The young man took a sip of wine.

Just about to take a second sip.

At this time.

In the firmament, there were sudden peals of thunder.

Rumbling.

For a time.

The guests in the wine stall all looked toward the firmament.

Pedestrians on the long street also looked up one after another.

The celestial phenomena in the firmament changed constantly.

Purple energy, golden light!

The Azure Cloud List appeared!

Causing the people in Jubei City to marvel endlessly.

The young man took a second sip of wine.

Looking at the Azure Cloud List in the firmament, he muttered: "Good wine!"

"Good scenery!"

The young man drank wine while looking at the Azure Cloud List in the firmament.

Many spectators around were discussing it endlessly.

Seeing Zhang Zhang Cuishan make the list.

Everyone exclaimed.

"What a Zhang Zhang Cuishan!"

"Mount Wudang's Fifth Hero Zhang is indeed a formidable figure, and the reputation is well-deserved!"

"Mount Wudang and Northern Shaolin have had grievances for a long time, I'm afraid there will be a big battle!"

Seeing Ying Zheng make the list.

Everyone marveled.

"The dignified Great Qin Emperor actually can't even live past fifty!"

"Is this true or false?"

"Rumor has it that the Great Qin Emperor is of the Ancestral Dragon lineage!"

"Possessing the bloodline of a divine dragon, how could he die so easily?"

"Who knows!"

"Perhaps Ying Zheng has some incurable disease?"

"A dignified Grandmaster, what incurable disease could he have!"

"Who knows!"

Li Zhang appeared on the list.

The crowd gasped in astonishment once more.

"Good heavens!"

"Li Zhang, the Sword Immortal of the Northern Song!"

"A great figure, proficient in both literature and martial arts!"

"The Northern Song Dynasty is home to many famous scholars, and Li Zhang is one of them!"

A young master saw that the Azure Cloud List recorded Li Zhang as having already achieved the title of Sword Immortal in his thirties.

A faint sneer flashed across his face.

"A Sword Immortal in his thirties—is that really so impressive?"

The young master touched the long sword at his waist!

That was his Red Dragon Snow-Sealing Sword!

His name was Gong Jiu!

When he was three years old, a physiognomist who claimed to be a descendant of the leader of the Taiping Dao—the head of the Daoist sects one hundred and eighty years prior—had read his fortune by feeling his bones.

He said that he possessed the destiny of a heaven-bound python transforming into a divine dragon!

In the future, he would become the Supreme Ruler!

Ever since then, his father, the Prince of Taiping, began plotting a rebellion!

All for the sake of the day he could become the Supreme Ruler!

However, Gong Jiu did not believe in that nonsense of a fortune-telling at all.

Therefore, at the age of sixteen, he left the Prince of Taiping’s estate and wandered the ends of the earth!

In the blink of an eye, it had been nearly ten years since he left the estate!

Just as Gong Jiu was reminiscing about the past.

A sudden clamor arose all around him.

"What!"

"The Prince of Taiping is actually planning to rebel!"

"Good heavens!"

"The Prince of Taiping is already an old prince!"

"He must be over sixty years old!"

"At his age, he still wants to rebel?"

"Has he gone mad?"

The discussions of the onlookers pulled Gong Jiu back to reality.

Gong Jiu raised his eyes and looked closely.

His own name had actually appeared on the Azure Cloud List!

Seeing that the Azure Cloud List had leaked the secret of his father’s plot to rebel.

Gong Jiu’s expression changed, and he stood up immediately!

At this moment.

A streak of golden light flashed across the firmament.

It descended into Jubei City.

And arrived before Gong Jiu!

For a moment.

All the onlookers around stared at Gong Jiu in astonishment!

Gong Jiu, ignoring the crowd, took the Wandering Dragon Sword and the "Eightfold Pagoda Canon" wrapped within the golden light into his hands!

Just then.

A series of horn blasts suddenly sounded from outside Jubei City!

Woo-woo-woo-woo!

Woo-woo-woo-woo!

Someone in Jubei City suddenly shouted loudly: "It’s bad!"

"It’s bad!"

"The Tartar army is attacking the city!"

"This time, the Tartar army is coming with great ferocity!"

"I fear this will not end well!"

In an instant.

The crowd of Jubei City residents, who had just been watching the excitement, scattered in all directions.

Gong Jiu, who had originally intended to leave Jubei City, stopped in his tracks at this moment.

He listened to the horn calls drawing ever closer.

With firm resolve, he flew toward the ramparts of Jubei City!

At this time.

On the ramparts of Jubei City!

The smoke of martial spirit rose in billowing clouds!

Outside Jubei City!

One hundred thousand Great Qing cavalrymen stood before the city walls!

It took Gong Jiu only a brief moment to fly to the ramparts of Jubei City!

The next moment.

The Great Qing commander gave an order.

Countless arrows and bolts filled the sky, shooting toward the ramparts of Jubei City.

"I, Gong Jiu, am willing to fight to the death for the Great Ming!"

"I only hope that with my life, I can exchange for my father’s survival!"

Gong Jiu channeled all the Qi of his Fourth-Grade Grandmaster cultivation, leaped down, and plunged straight into the Great Qing enemy formation!

Though there be millions, I shall go; I will not regret it even if I die nine times over!

His voice instantly spread throughout Jubei City!

The Jubei City garrison commander and tens of thousands of soldiers all saw the figure of Gong Jiu moving against the tide!

They were all deeply shaken!

At this moment, someone took the lead.

"Fight to the death for the Great Ming!"

"Fight to the death for the Great Ming!"

In an instant, the sound shook the heavens!

The Azure Cloud List in the firmament shone brilliantly with golden light.

The name of Gong Jiu remained engraved upon it!
