Chapter 4727: ?The Law Sage Shang Yang? Xiao Chi

"I have to say... those photos Miss Black Cat took can't even convey one-tenth of your charm."

Xiao Chi's voice carried complexity.

Ying Quliang's expression was calm; after scanning the entire hall, he furrowed his brow slightly, "Only eunuchs?"

"After all, night has fallen."

Hai Rui spoke with solemnity.

After a brief pause, he turned to Emperor Jiajing, "Your Majesty, let me introduce these几位... This one is the president, a being above the Creator God!"

"Hmm, if you can't comprehend it... you may also regard him as a being above the Three Pure Ones, above the Jade Emperor."

Emperor Jiajing's eyelid twitched imperceptibly; even though he had seen countless storms, he now felt a powerful shock.

Above the Three Pure Ones and the Jade Emperor... such a level of deity, he actually had the fortune to meet? "These two are Xiao Chi and Ying Quliang! Master Xiao Chi, you may consider him the divine beast trainer of the art world; as for Ying Quliang... he is... the Qin Xiaogong of Qin history."

"... What?"

Emperor Jiajing nearly thought he had misheard.

But then, Emperor Jiajing noticed the black dragon robe worn by Qin Xiaogong.

Thoughts flashed through his mind; Emperor Jiajing's expression grew complex—he was one of the brightest emperors of the Ming, otherwise he could never have avoided court for decades while still firmly holding the vast Ming Empire in his grasp... So he had confirmed: the black-clad man before him was truly Qin Xiaogong, and he had even made a derivative guess... If Qin Xiaogong could appear before him, then Qin Shi Huang must also still exist—and perhaps all emperors from every dynasty of Yanhuang history were still alive, or existing in another form. He swallowed hard; Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realized something, a flush rising on his cheeks—he too was an emperor.

Moreover, he believed his own achievements were no less than Qin Xiaogong's... Did this mean he too might one day... Ying Quliang paid no attention to Emperor Jiajing's thoughts; he turned to Hai Rui, "Ten thousand ghosts are rampaging through the capital! And I can feel their malevolent aura growing denser... Within ten minutes, they may unleash a massacre."

"I'll deal with them."

As the last word fell, Ying Quliang's figure vanished.

Su Han raised an eyebrow, lightly stomped the ground, and instantly, the mirror world unfolded—the vast, majestic hall split apart.

Emperor Chongzhen stared, dumbfounded—was this... dismantling his imperial palace? No, the palace didn't look damaged by external force; even now, as it cracked open, it remained orderly and structured.

Soon, he saw Ying Quliang floating above the palace, in the sky.

He spread his arms, and terrifying radiance erupted from his body.

Ancient Qin ballads resounded across the land.

"Who says we have no armor? I share your robe!"

"Is this another world?"

Shang Yang appeared out of thin air beside Ying Quliang; he scanned his surroundings, drew a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed his excitement.

Then, Shang Yang's expression turned serious; he gently clenched his fist, and the bamboo scrolls of his Book of Shang Yang materialized in his palm.

He chanted the many legalist secrets he had written, and instantly, heaven—

Compared to the previous Confucian aura, a colder, equally righteous killing intent emerged.

All spirits and ghosts capable of being slain.

Su Han watched this scene with interest while scanning the society chatroom; the unread messages in Faxiangong Society's chatroom had now become ninety-nine.

Hatsune Miku Mirai Miku: "I thought it would be Mr. Xiao Chi who stepped in...... But! Mr. Shang Yang's battle greatly exceeded my expectations."

Hatsune Miku: "I thought Master Xiao Chi would be the one to act... but! Master Shang Yang's battle has utterly surpassed my expectations."

Long Gong Lina: "... By the way, when did Confucius live? Before or after Ying Quliang's era?"

Cheng Long Doesn't Want to Dig Up History: "!!! Definitely before—he was a hundred or two hundred years earlier."

Cheng Long found himself utterly speechless.

Dr. Roman: "... It's normal! Unless you specialize in this, it's hard to grasp their exact eras."

Dr. Roman sighed.

Cheng Long actually really wanted to say that he had never specifically studied the affairs of that era either...... However, considering that Ryūgū Rena and Dr. Roman were not Yanhuang people, he did not dwell on this topic any further.

Cheng Long really wanted to say he hadn't specialized in that era either... but considering Long Gong Lina and Dr. Roman weren't Yanhuang people, he didn't press the topic further.

El Niesti: "Still, I suspect that even if Confucius were still alive and had truly become a sage through the Confucian Dao, I'm certain Shang Yang's achievements would not fall short of Confucius's..."

Minako Nanakori: "... That's a bit exaggerated."

She had heard of Confucius's name, but the name of Shang Yang...... she had never heard of it before watching The Qin Empire: Intrigue...... Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "It's no exaggeration."

She had heard of Confucius, but Shang Yang's name... before watching The Collapse of the Qin Empire, she had never heard of him...

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "Not exaggerated."

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard, feeling a touch of nostalgia.

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "In fact! During the Warring States period, when a hundred schools contended, Confucianism was prominent—but far from dominating the world as it later did!"

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "At the very least, Legalism—the doctrine that greatly strengthens state power—was just as popular as Confucianism."

Chu Zihang: "You're being modest... Legalism was absolutely the most popular doctrine during the Warring States period."

Chu Zihang spoke up suddenly.

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: "... Cough, cough. Shang Yang wasn't the founder of Legalism, but he was undoubtedly its representative figure... Now, with Ying Quliang's momentum, surpassing Confucius is perfectly normal."

Ketsuho Rinne: "Reasonable and well-founded!"

Aikawa Ayumu: "I very much suspect that, after some more time passes, Shang Yang's strength might surpass that of Ying Quliang, a member of the Zuoweigong Society."

Aikawa Ayumu: "Considering Ying Quliang's cultivation method based on literary qi has only recently become widespread... yet Shang Yang already possesses this power."

【53】 Aikawa Ayumu: "I wonder if, in time, Shang Yang's strength might surpass Ying Quliang's as a Weigong Society member."

【54】 Batman: "Wake up! Shang Yang's power is also Ying Quliang's power."
