Chapter 515

Following the announcement on the Famous Sword Ranking that Zhu Wushi had killed Zheng He and become the master of the Yongle Sword, which ranked third on the Famous Sword Ranking, a huge uproar was stirred up among the major forces throughout the Nine Provinces.

Huang Shang looked deeply at the Famous Sword Ranking, his eyes filled with shock.

Northern Song and Great Ming do not border each other, and although there were no conflicts on a daily basis, Huang Shang had some understanding of the Great Ming's guardian deity, the Three Treasure Eunuch, Zheng He.

At this moment, Huang Shang saw that Zheng He had actually been killed by someone from his own Great Ming, and Zheng He was killed by someone from the Zhu family, whom he had always been guarding.

A feeling of "when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves" appeared in Huang Shang's eyes.

"Back then, after Zheng He received the grace of the Yongle Emperor, Zhu Di, he had been guarding the Great Ming's territory for Zhu Di."

"He had always been diligent and conscientious without any ulterior motives, yet in the end, he met such an end."

Speaking of this, a look of desolation appeared in Huang Shang's eyes, and then he continued with a hint of mockery.

"Now that Zheng He has been killed by Zhu Wushi, Zhu Wushi will definitely be able to quickly seize all the power of Great Ming."

"At that time, with a wave of the hand of the civil officials, Zheng He, who worked hard for Great Ming all his life, might not even have a good reputation after death, and might even be reviled for ten thousand years!"

"Even Zheng He met such an end; I don't know if I will also be stabbed in the back by my own people in the future."

"And I might not even have a good reputation after I die."

At this moment, a thought of wanting to retire suddenly arose in Huang Shang's heart.

Seeing Zheng He's end, Huang Shang discovered that he was truly tired, whether it was his disappointment in Song Huizong or seeing his own future figure in Zheng He.

Huang Shang decided that after helping Northern Song overcome this difficulty, he would leave the officialdom and the imperial court; he wanted to live for himself for a while.

On the other side, Hearing Ba Si Ba and Pang Ban saw the information published on the Famous Sword Ranking.

At this moment, the two of them were also extremely shocked by the events on the Famous Sword Ranking.

Because Great Ming borders Great Yuan, Hearing Ba Si Ba and Pang Ban had also dealt with Zheng He quite a few times.

Now, seeing Zheng He die at the hands of Zhu Wushi, the hearts of Hearing Ba Si Ba and Pang Ban were both surprised and complicated.

"Zheng He is actually dead."

"It seems Great Ming is going to be in complete chaos."

"Zhu Houzhao has been in a coma, and now Zheng He has been killed by Zhu Wushi; I am afraid that Great Ming will be Zhu Wushi's one-man show from now on!"

"However, this Zhu Wushi is indeed ruthless; it seems he has been planning for a long time to kill Zheng He."

Hearing Ba Si Ba looked at the news on the Famous Sword Ranking in the sky and said slowly.

Although Pang Ban was very surprised that Zheng He was killed by Zhu Wushi, a feeling of sadness suddenly arose in Pang Ban's heart regarding Zheng He's death.

"Ever since the Heavenly Ranking appeared, there have been constant frictions between the major forces of the Nine Provinces."

"From small-scale mutual slaughter between secular Jianghu sects to the fall of people with cultivation like you and me on the battlefield."

"I don't know if people like you and me can still manage to stay out of it as the major forces of the Nine Provinces become more and more chaotic."

Pang Ban's eyes were very complicated at this moment; Zheng He's death made him start to worry about his own future.

Other people who had dealt with Zheng He and had rushed over from the major forces of the Nine Provinces also had mixed feelings when they saw the news on the Famous Sword Ranking that Zheng He had fallen.

Some people felt that with Zheng He dead, the pillar of Great Ming had collapsed, and Zhu Wushi, a mere Earth Immortal*Mortal Realm person, would definitely not be able to protect the Great Ming Dynasty.

These people started planning to divide the cake of Great Ming in advance.

Others, seeing Zheng He's death, also felt a sense of "when the rabbit dies, the fox grieves," and wanted to get out of this whirlpool as soon as possible, not wanting to follow Zheng He's old path.

Some people even saw that Zhu Wushi could replace Zheng He and receive the Heavenly Dao reward on the Famous Sword Ranking, so they set their sights on other people who had received Heavenly Ranking rewards, wanting to hunt down those who possessed divine weapons from the Heavenly Ranking but had relatively weak cultivation.

……

After Zhu Wushi finished absorbing the Heavenly Dao reward, feeling the vast internal energy added to his dantian, he began to laugh wildly, unable to suppress it.

Then he looked at the Yongle Sword in his hand and gently stroked the blade of the Yongle Sword.

"Yongle Sword, my Zhu family is your final destination."

"From now on, you will definitely shine brilliantly in my hands!"

Zhu Wushi murmured softly to the Yongle Sword in his hand with fanatical eyes.

Just as Zhu Wushi was still admiring the Yongle Sword in his hand, Tianquan brought the remaining disciples of the Beidou Hall of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sect who had survived this great battle to Zhu Wushi.

Looking at Zhu Wushi, who was stroking the Yongle Sword in front of him, Tianquan said softly:

"Since our agreement has been reached."

"Then we will leave first; we will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Tianquan smiled lightly at Zhu Wushi, and then left with the other disciples.

With Zhu Wushi's current cultivation, he had long since sensed the location of Tianquan and the others.

Just now, when Tianquan was talking to Zhu Wushi, a trace of extremely cold chill flashed through Zhu Wushi's eyes.

It was just that he concealed this emotion in an instant.

In his heart, Zhu Wushi wanted to take this opportunity while Tianquan and the others were seriously injured from fighting Zheng He to keep them all on this battlefield.

After all, as long as Tianquan and the others were killed, he would be the only one who participated in the plan to hunt Zheng He.

But through his sensing of Tianquan and the others just now, Zhu Wushi could not discover their true physical condition.

Although Zhu Wushi knew that Tianquan and the others must have been injured from fighting Zheng He, Zhu Wushi was a bit afraid that if Tianquan and the others had some special means to repair their injuries and could recover during the time he was absorbing Zheng He's internal energy and the Heavenly Dao reward, Zhu Wushi would not be confident in facing the great array that Tianquan and the others used to deal with Zheng He just now... 0

After all, Zhu Wushi was in the dark at the time, and he also felt the terror of that great array.
