Chapter 305

Above the Xu family in Hu Jinshan Juncheng, over a dozen people were fighting!

Except for that Sixth Tier attendant and Director Ji Bang.

There were also six Fifth Tier attendants.

Fighting these six people were Xu Jin's old acquaintances.

The current Hu Jinshan Dao Academy Mountain Rector Cao Chun, Patrol Star Guard Chief Tian Zhang, and even Vice Mountain Rector Feng Shu were participating in the battle, as well as two Fifth Tier experts Xu Jin didn't know, one of whom should have been arranged by Ying Ge.

Without a doubt, this team of attendants should have been sent by the dim-witted Emperor.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's heart tightened. And his sister Jiang Er?

But as soon as he thought of Peng Lao, Xu Jin felt at ease.

This dim-witted Emperor was not neat or wise in handling other matters, but when dealing with people like Xu Jin who worked themselves to death for Chen Guo, his actions were incomparably neat.

Suddenly, Xu Jin thought of four words: cruel to his own, tolerant to outsiders!

It felt very similar to some emperors in his previous life.

Reading history before, looking at some historical materials, looking at the near-traitorous stupid behaviors of some emperors, he would feel uneasy for a long time, wishing he could go up and slap them awake.

Like Zhao Ji, and like the Emperor who called for the gate!

Reading it made people sigh and stomp their feet.

Now Xu Jin was experiencing it personally, but it felt a hundred times more uncomfortable than reading history, and he wished he could kill this dim-witted Emperor immediately and eat his flesh!

Now looking at these attendants sent by the dim-witted Emperor to deal with his father, the fury in Xu Jin's heart surged wildly, and he wished he could go up and finish them all off immediately!

But reason still made Xu Jin calm down.

Grand Master had gone to great lengths to let him shed his shell like a cicada and escape death.

If he exposed himself in a fit of rage, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

He could be sorry to anyone, but he could not be sorry to the Grand Master.

Xu Jin was not a saint, but he would never let those who were good to him suffer!

So Xu Jin immediately used the Star-Picking Token of the identity of Qi Qi Tian Sheng to send a star-light transmission to the Grand Master, notifying him of the situation here, and then asking for the Grand Master's opinion.

Communicating only took a few breaths, and the current battle situation was relatively stable.

Many things, many people, are often because of a lack of communication, and misunderstandings become bigger and bigger.

One doesn't speak, one doesn't ask.

As a result, the misunderstandings become bigger and bigger, until they are irreparable!

Let alone friends, many lovers and couples are all like this!

【Director Ji Bang and the others have no problem beheading those attendants; if you want to take action, you absolutely cannot expose yourself, just assist from the side. In addition, after the battle, you can meet with Director Ji Bang; your matter cannot be hidden from Director Ji Bang, because your father and your sister will be personally settled by Director Ji Bang.

At the same time, meeting with Director Ji Bang will only be more beneficial to the safety of you, your father, and your sister.】

The Grand Master's reply was quick; Xu Jin just read it once and understood instantly.

A living Xu Jin had value to Director Ji Bang.

A dead Xu Jin only had a little bit of sentiment to Director Ji Bang, and once this little bit of sentiment was exhausted, it would be gone, which would naturally affect the safety of his father and sister.

But as long as Xu Jin was alive, the guarantee of the safety of his father and sister would be greatly increased.

Xu Jin fully understood this point.

You cannot demand that everyone be unconditionally good to you; not everyone is Ning Ning Yuchan!

The next moment, the invisible Xu Jin moved.

The Earth Element Magnetic Field was activated instantly.

The figure of the Sixth Tier attendant Li Li Yuanzheng, who was flying in the low altitude, suddenly sank and plummeted; originally he wanted to break away from Director Ji Bang's attack, but this sudden change directly caused him to meet Director Ji Bang's attack.

One intervention, and he was directly severely injured!

The next moment, the soul star technique Xu Jin activated while deliberately controlling the power fluctuation—Breaking Evil—rose!

The Sixth Tier attendant Li Li Yuanzheng bled from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose simultaneously, and the next moment, he was killed by Director Ji Bang's powerful strike.

Director Ji Bang frowned and looked in all directions.

Strange!

Originally, he wanted to behead Li Li Yuanzheng, but it would have taken some time and required the cooperation of emblems; he didn't expect to behead him so easily!

"Dean Ji, it's me, finish the battle first!"

Xu Jin's soul transmission sounded, and awe instantly appeared in Director Ji Bang's eyes.

He had always heard others say how powerful Xu Jin's combat record was and how strong his combat power was; although he believed it, he only believed it fifty percent at most.

After all, most people's words had to be discounted by thirty or fifty percent.

But at this moment, Xu Jin just cooperated with him a little, and he felt that what the Grand Master and others said about Xu Jin's strength was really not bragging!

This was too powerful!

Just by cooperating a little, he allowed him to easily behead a Sixth Tier late-stage expert.

Then...

The subsequent battle was simple; Director Ji Bang, a Sixth Tier Ninth Layer peak expert, outputted with all his might, and the remaining six Fifth Tier experts were beheaded in the shortest possible time.

The cleanup was naturally left to Director Ji Bang.

Xu Jin informed Director Ji Bang and then quietly went to see his father, Xu Dajiang.

Sneaking to the door of the room where his father Xu Dajiang was staying, Xu Jin revealed a strange smile.

His father's life recently seemed quite comfortable.

Two women were trembling, hugging his father on the left and right, aged around thirty, obviously frightened by the commotion outside.

His father, Xu Dajiang, although afraid, was still relatively calm.

After all, he was a father who had killed people side-by-side with Xu Jin.

With a surge of warm dreams, Xu Jin instantly made the two women fall asleep, and when his father was surprised, Xu Jin suddenly appeared.

【Grand Master, Lord Lord Tianyang suddenly descended on Dachen Wan Yi and entered the Imperial Palace directly.】

At this time, Cheng Cheng Yuexiao had already finished dealing with the Sixth Tier Star Gate in Yanzhou, finished acting, and arrived at the valley outside Yangjiang Juncheng to continue dealing with the mess caused by Emperor Gan'an.

Involving the casualties of over a hundred thousand people was not easy.

Suddenly, the information on the Star-Picking Token made Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's brows lock tight; it was sent by Peng Lao.

Because of the sudden arrival of Lord Lord Tianyang.

Peng Lao had already entered the main building of the Chen Guo Star-Picking Tower, on alert at all times, ready to counterattack if Lord Lord Tianyang had any unusual movements.

But what surprised Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was, what was Lord Lord Tianyang doing in the Imperial Palace at this time?

Theoretically, even if Lord Lord Tianyang beheaded Emperor Gan'an, it would be useless.

Having said that, if Lord Lord Tianyang really beheaded Emperor Gan'an, it would actually be a good thing!

But obviously, Lord Lord Tianyang wouldn't do that!

If he really wanted to commit regicide, he would have done it twenty years ago when the Lord Tianyang Star Palace and Cangming Star Palace joined forces to kill their way into the Chen Guo Imperial Palace!

He wouldn't have dragged it out until now!

Then...

Suddenly, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao thought of a certain possibility!

The next moment, Cheng Cheng Yuexiao gave a few instructions and then flew rapidly toward Yangjiang County; he had to return to Dachen Wan Yi immediately!

Even if Cheng Cheng Yuexiao wanted to teleport back to Dachen Wan Yi, he had to be subject to the teleportation rules of the Star-Picking Tower.

From the main building of the Star-Picking Tower, one could teleport to any branch, but when teleporting back from a branch, one had to proceed layer by layer, first teleporting to the Dazhou Star-Picking Tower branch, then teleporting back to the main building of the Chen Guo Star-Picking Tower.

By the time Cheng Cheng Yuexiao returned all the way, it was already half a quarter of an hour later.

Stepping out of the main building of the Chen Guo Star-Picking Tower, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao adjusted his aura, swallowed a pill to recover slightly, and then turned into starlight, entering the Dachen Wan Yi Imperial Palace directly.

In the past, when Cheng Cheng Yuexiao came to see him, he would just land outside the palace gate and let them report.

In this regard, the Cheng Cheng Yuexiao of the past was very mindful of the etiquette between monarch and subject.

He could land in any corner of the Imperial Palace at will, but doing so might make Emperor Gan'an lose his sense of security, so every time he came to see him, he would land at the palace gate, report, and enter after being allowed. But this time, given the dim-witted Emperor's actions, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao chose to enter the Imperial Palace directly.

From afar, Cheng Cheng Yuexiao discovered the auras of Lord Lord Tianyang and the dim-witted Emperor, both in the Hezheng Palace, so the starlight landed toward the Hezheng Palace.

But before landing, in the void, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking Cheng Cheng Yuexiao.

"Grand Master, breaking into the palace without reporting, isn't that going too far?" It was the Eighth Tier Old Chief Eunuch in the Imperial Palace.

"Old Chief Eunuch, over sixty thousand commoners in Yangjiang County died tragically, and hundreds of thousands of commoners were almost sacrificed. I am here today to ask for an explanation from His Majesty on behalf of hundreds of thousands of commoners." Cheng Cheng Yuexiao did not retreat at all; as he stepped out, the Nine-Sun Bell appeared.

The Old Chief Eunuch was silent for a long time before whispering, "His Majesty also has his difficulties, so please calm your anger, Grand Master. Grand Master, is it just to ask questions?"

"Does the Old Chief Eunuch think I would commit regicide?" Cheng Cheng Yuexiao sneered. "Or, has His Majesty done something that I, the Grand Master, cannot tolerate?"

The Old Chief Eunuch looked back in the direction of the Hezheng Palace. "Grand Master, harmony between monarch and subject is beneficial to the nation!"

After saying this, the Old Chief Eunuch stepped aside. "Grand Master, one more word: asking questions is fine, but if you take action against His Majesty, the old servant will not retreat even if I bleed five steps!"

Cheng Cheng Yuexiao nodded slightly, and then, holding the Nine-Sun Bell, he landed directly in the Hezheng Palace.

Inside the Hezheng Palace, Emperor Gan'an was laughing and talking with Lord Lord Tianyang, both of them with full smiles on their faces, obviously communicating very happily.

Seeing Cheng Cheng Yuexiao arrive, Lord Lord Tianyang bowed slightly to Cheng Cheng Yuexiao and then bowed slightly to Emperor Gan'an. "Since Grand Master Cheng has arrived, and I have finished talking with His Majesty, I will take my leave."

Speaking of this, Lord Lord Tianyang looked at Cheng Cheng Yuexiao, who had a murderous look, and added, "If His Majesty has anything, just let me know, and I will be here in a flash."

"Tianyang Xingjun, take your time."

"I won't see you off."

The next moment, Lord Lord Tianyang stepped on the stars and left as starlight, but before leaving, he looked at Cheng Cheng Yuexiao meaningfully, his eyes full of the color of victory.

"Your Majesty, I have a matter, I ask Your Majesty to answer..."

"Grand Master, sit down first!"

"Your Majesty, this matter!"

"Grand Master, sit down first!"

Emperor Gan'an pointed to the seat very forcefully, letting Cheng Cheng Yuexiao sit down, and then changed a new pot of tea, personally pouring it for Cheng Cheng Yuexiao, but Cheng Cheng Yuexiao had no intention of drinking tea; now, he just wanted to denounce this dim-witted Emperor and then weaken his power!

But Emperor Gan'an didn't give Cheng Cheng Yuexiao a chance to speak, instead picking up the teacup and asking, "Grand Master, it's been a long time since you and I sat idly like this."

"Idly?"

Cheng Cheng Yuexiao sneered. "I don't have time to sit idly!

I still want to ask Your Majesty, while I was fighting to the death at the front, why did Your Majesty harm the people and betray the nation?"

Hearing this, Emperor Gan'an was not angry, just smiled. "Grand Master, I have a question, I ask the Grand Master to answer one or two."

"Grand Master, what do you think is the difference between your current Chen Guo National Dao Academy, the Lord Lingji Star Palace, and the Lord Tianyang Star Palace?" Emperor Gan'an asked.

"There must be a difference..."

"But in my opinion, there is no difference!" Emperor Gan'an interrupted Cheng Cheng Yuexiao again, directly saying, "The National Dao Academy of the past was my National Dao Academy, my Imperial Guard camp.

The current National Dao Academy is like the Lord Lingji Star Palace and Lord Tianyang Star Palace of the past, almost wanting to ride above me.

Grand Master, do you know that no matter how strong the Lord Lingji Star Palace and Lord Tianyang Star Palace were in the past, there was still the National Dao Academy to contend with!

Whether it was the Lord Lingji Tianyang Xingjun or the Lord Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun, they were all outsiders.

But the Grand Master's prestige in Chen Guo has already surpassed mine by a lot!

So, many ministers, including the Three Princes and Seven Marquises of the Star River Battlefield, have submitted memorials saying that the Grand Master has the heart of self-reliance!"

Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's eyes widened into circles; he had the heart of self-reliance!

This was simply...

"Grand Master, don't be in a hurry to get angry; just think about it from my position. If you were sitting in my position, would you have such thoughts?

Nowadays, my Imperial decrees can't even enter the National Dao Academy!

Peng Peng Tiesheng actually arrogantly said that even if I went, I couldn't enter the National Dao Academy!

Is this still my National Dao Academy?

Is this still my territory?

I ask the Grand Master to answer me!" Emperor Gan'an shouted!

Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was also stunned by Emperor Gan'an at first, but immediately reacted!

"Your Majesty, you don't reflect on your own actions, but instead blame me, the minister who fights for the nation; there is no such reason in the world!"

"Grand Master, I have a second question: why hasn't my title of Emperor been resolved for twenty years?

So much so that now the Star River Battlefield only knows that Chen Guo has a Grand Master, but doesn't know that Chen Guo has an Emperor; how does the Grand Master explain this?" Emperor Gan'an's expression became sharp, turning into an interrogation.

"Why Your Majesty's title of Emperor was removed, doesn't Your Majesty know clearly yourself?"

"As a minister, shouldn't you solve the monarch's worries?" Emperor Gan'an asked back!

"Your Majesty, I am also working hard; according to the plan, in three to five years, I should be able to restore the title of Emperor of Chen Guo for Your Majesty!"

"Plan!"

Emperor Gan'an sneered. "No need anymore, I have already solved it myself now!"

"Whether it's the title of Emperor of Chen Guo, the Seventh Tier Supreme Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern needed for my breakthrough, or the checks and balances needed for the court, I have solved them all!" While speaking, Emperor Gan'an suddenly laughed loudly.

"Solved?" Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's eyes trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"The Grand Master doesn't believe it?"

"I ask Your Majesty to clarify!" Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said, his voice trembling.

"Lord Lord Tianyang will restore my title of Emperor of Chen Guo in a few days and return to the Star River Battlefield! Lord Lord Tianyang also gave me the Seventh Tier Supreme Earth Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern!

After all this is completed, I will honor the Lord Tianyang Star Palace as the National Palace!

Just like the Lord Lingji Star Palace of the past!"

"Your Majesty!"

Cheng Cheng Yuexiao roared and stood up abruptly.

The moment Cheng Cheng Yuexiao stood up, the hunched Old Chief Eunuch appeared, intending to protect Emperor Gan'an, but was pushed away by Emperor Gan'an, and a star-light brilliant Imperial Seal appeared in his palm!

"Commit regicide, does he dare!"

"Your Majesty, you... all the ministers are fighting to the death, how could you invite a thief into the house!"

"Grand Master, why do you say that! Twenty years ago, the Lord Lingji Star Palace had been riding on the head of our Chen Guo for hundreds or thousands of years; now, what does it matter if there is one more Lord Tianyang Star Palace!" Emperor Gan'an argued forcefully!

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Cheng Cheng Yuexiao looked at Emperor Gan'an, then looked back at the direction where Lord Lord Tianyang had disappeared, and roared, "Your Majesty, then... what exactly did you pay to make Lord Lord Tianyang give such a promise!"

When he asked this question, Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's voice was trembling!

Because he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility!

Emperor Gan'an stood with his hands behind his back, walked to the window, looking like he was pointing at the mountains and rivers, and then said indifferently, "Not much, just half a percent!

The Grand Master held four percent and couldn't get it done.

Lord Lord Tianyang only used half a percent and got it done!

Grand Master, do you say this deal is worth it!"

The next moment, all the color drained from Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's face, and his expression became incomparably miserable!
