Chapter 171: Qualified Sequence 077!

Su Ming's expression was solemn.

He, after leaving the Wuhou Shrine, faced Chen Beixuan together.

The man, after promising to do something for him, locked his blood‑shot eyes onto him and issued a final warning.

"But if you dare harm the innocent in Jin City..."

"I, Chen Beixuan, will stake this life and bite a piece of flesh from you!"

In that instant!

Through the upgraded Eye of Truth, he clearly saw a breath of energy he had never seen before, flashing out from Chen Beixuan's body!

It was a...

A bizarre aura of ominous black tinged with red!

And this hue, he had only seen in one place—

that villa, after he killed his ex‑girlfriend Xia Weiwei, unleashed that Qualified Sequence!

So...

The aura on Chen Beixuan is a Qualified Sequence?!

He is a Qualified Person?!

Before the Evolution of the Eye of Truth, he could not Observation this energy.

Until he forcibly break through Zhao Yun, tearing that layer of cellophane, he gained the ability to glimpse this tier's origin!

But at that time, the aura on Chen Beixuan lasted only a few seconds, far too short for him to complete the analysis.

This is one of the most important reasons he returned tonight!

It is the real reason he made Ling Xi, regardless of cost, to activate the ability!

He needs a living target!

He wants to see with his own eyes why this Qualified Sequence can be a mix of red and black!

The counterpart, after all, is a Myth and a Calamity!

Buzz—!

A stabbing sensation returned to Su Ming's eyes.

This time, it was even more intense than when facing Zhao Yun!

His soul felt as if it were shoved into a high‑speed meat grinder!

Every second, he could feel his spiritual power being wildly ground, torn, and drained!

But Su Ming did not stop.

He clenched his teeth, cold sweat covering him, and pushed the Eye of Truth to its limit.

Around Ling Xi, the red‑black aura indeed grew more intense.

He could not tell how long had passed.

Several forbidden characters formed of blood and darkness finally appeared before the collapsing Su Ming!

Qualified Sequence: 077

Sequence Name: Listening

Sequence Effect: You can hear all sounds past, present, and future within the designated range!

Indeed!

So that's it!

A storm of turmoil rose in Su Ming's heart.

It truly is a Qualified Sequence!

Listening!

She is using her ears to see, not her eyes!

Precisely because of this ability, she could hear the wailing of the Wuhou Shrine, hearing ten deaths without life!

Puff—

At that moment, Ling Xi could no longer hold on and spewed a mouthful of blood.

"Enough, stop!"

Su Ming hurriedly interrupted.

Meng Die immediately understood, stepped forward to support the wobbling Ling Xi.

"This woman..."

In Fa Zheng's eyes, a few hints of curiosity and apprehension flickered.

Even he felt a faint palpitations from that probing aura.

Su Ming steadied his thoughts and gave Meng Die a look.

Meng Die understood, leading the women and Magu away.

They...

They hadn't even gotten a bite!

In the spacious private room, only Su Ming and three Top-level Strategists remained.

"Come, gentlemen, taste the fine wine of this world."

"I toast you three!"

Su Ming drank it in one gulp.

The spicy liquor slid down his throat into his belly, igniting a blaze.

"Fine wine!"

Fa Zheng also raised his cup and drank it dry, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face.

"This wine is rich and fierce, unlike the thin rice wine of the Han era; it suits me well!"

"It enters soft, lingers long, like the strategies you devise in the command tent, layer upon layer, until the end, then you grasp its subtlety."

Pang Tong took a small sip, his Phoenix Eyes slightly narrowed.

Only Jiang Wan tasted a little and stopped, her expression gentle.

"The people regard food as heaven; now even ordinary families can enjoy such fine dishes and wine daily?"

He looked at the table full of delicacies and felt sincere awe.

"In the Han times, even the nobles and aristocrats were no different."

Su Ming smiled.

He lifted the wine vessel, filled it for the three of them, and also for himself.

"These days… may not be what you think."

Su Ming swirled the wine in his cup, his gaze becoming distant.

"Aren't you curious?"

"What happened after Shu Han?"

"Who will ultimately claim the world?"

"How long will the Han's robes and caps endure?"

Swish!

Three questions made the few of them shiver.

The three Top-level Advisors who once stirred the clouds of the world now had every expression on their faces frozen.

This was an answer they longed to know…

…yet deeply feared!

"Lord… but speak freely."

After a long while, Jiang Wan hoarsely broke the silence.

"Fine!"

Su Ming set down his cup, his eyes complex, but his voice was utterly calm.

"Shu Han perished."

"Your opponent, Cao Wei, perished."

"Your ally, Eastern Wu, also perished."

"The one who unified the world was the Sima family."

Boom!

The wine cup in Fa Zheng's hand shattered instantly!

Those dark, fierce eyes turned blood‑red.

Sima Yi?!

What old thief?!

"And then?"

Pang Tong's voice trembled.

Su Ming glanced at him and continued.

"Then, the Sima family's Jin also perished."

"Shenzhou sank, the Five Barbarians ravaged the land."

"The Han people you guarded with your lives fell to pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep—historically called two‑legged sheep."

"The aristocracy fled south."

Snap—

The mahogany chair beneath Jiang Wan's seat had its armrest snapped cleanly, wood splinters stabbing her palm.

Usually the most peaceful of them, now his hair stood on end in fury.

Yet Su Ming did not stop.

He moved like a cold executioner, brandishing a butcher's knife, shattering the last fragment of their illusion.

He intended to give them a final lesson!

"Later, a prosperous era arose, called the Great Tang."

"All nations came to pay tribute."

"Later still, at the Battle of Yashan, a hundred thousand Han threw themselves into the sea to die for the country."

"This land no longer bears the Han name!"

"Later again, a commoner emperor rose from obscurity, shouting to drive out the Hu barbarians!"

"The Han rivers and mountains were lost and regained."

"Later still… the national gates were blasted open by iron ships and cannons, mountains and rivers shattered, another century of national mourning…"

Su Ming's voice grew deeper.

"Until now, there are ten thousand household lights before your eyes."

"This new era of reinforced‑concrete forests and endless streams of iron beasts!"
