Chapter 314: Justice Served

Inside the He Zheng Hall, the smell of blood was overwhelming.

The shredded corpse of the Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Li Teng, with red, white, and yellow fluids flowing all over the floor, directly frightened Emperor Qian'an.

Emperor Qian'an had killed many people and seen blood, but being frightened like this by the Grand Master killing his Grand Steward right in front of him was still quite a shock.

Seeing the old steward protecting him, Emperor Qian'an felt slightly relieved and shouted sternly.

"Grand Master, are you rebelling?"

The old steward didn't speak, still hunched, but his gaze and momentum became incomparably sharp, and his aura also locked onto Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao!

"Your Majesty, I am just cleaning up the treacherous villains around you." Cheng Yuexiao smiled slightly, stepped over Li Teng's corpse, but her gaze swept toward the Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang.

"The Jinshan Dao Academy reported that the Xu Family Village in Jin County was blood-washed, with more than 1,200 people, from eighty-year-old elders to three- or five-year-old infants, none were spared! I investigated repeatedly and found that it was the Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Li Teng, who was heartless and slaughtered the Xu Family Village."

"Today, I am here to clear the treacherous villains from the side of the monarch!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Qian'an's face turned blue and red. He thought about whether to admit that he had arranged this, and then question whether Cheng Yuexiao also wanted to kill him.

But just as Emperor Qian'an was still struggling, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's gaze locked onto the new Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang. "Jinshan County also reported that Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang, also participated!"

"The monarch is surrounded by treacherous people, no wonder he is frequently taken advantage of by outsiders."

"Today, I will clear the treacherous villains to correct the monarch's vision!"

While speaking, Cheng Yuexiao's aura instantly locked onto Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang.

In an instant, Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang, who was protecting Emperor Qian'an, panicked and looked frequently at Emperor Qian'an and the old steward.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao didn't make a move, just locked onto Sun Rang with his aura and walked slowly toward Sun Rang.

Fifty steps.

Forty steps.

Thirty steps!

Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang, panicked, sweat pouring down like paste, looking at Emperor Qian'an in horror. "Your Majesty, save me!"

He, a Tier 7, Fifth Layer, how could he be the Grand Master's opponent?

More importantly, the Grand Master didn't make a move, so he didn't dare to make a move, didn't dare to attack in advance, didn't dare to resist!

Emperor Qian'an was furious. "Grand Master, enough!"

"Grand Master, retreat yet? Are you going to kill the monarch?" Emperor Qian'an was furious!

"Your Majesty, my loyalty can be shown to heaven and earth!"

Cheng Yuexiao stepped forward again. "Today, I only kill treacherous villains and will never hurt Your Majesty!"

"Is this your loyalty?" Emperor Qian'an was also furious and looked at the old steward.

The old steward still carefully protected Emperor Qian'an, his star power erupting. "Grand Master, stop!"

The voice was very light, but it was the most severe warning from a Tier 8 powerhouse.

"Old Steward, I am cleaning up the house for you, and you are stopping me?" Cheng Yuexiao's footsteps didn't stop at all, and her aura still locked onto Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang.

Emperor Qian'an gritted his teeth, pulled Sun Rang directly in front of him, and shouted sternly, "Grand Master, if you have the guts, kill me too!"

"How could I!"

Cheng Yuexiao laughed and took another step. As this step was taken, the old steward could no longer hold back. His figure flashed like a ghost, black star light roared toward Cheng Yuexiao like a tide, and the Tier 7 Spirit Treasure Yin Dragon Thorn appeared and blasted toward Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's chest silently.

"Old Steward is mighty!"

Cheng Yuexiao laughed, threw a punch, and the explosive flame light directly blasted back the black star light. The Nine-Sheng Bian Bell roared and directly blasted back the old steward's Tier 7 Spirit Treasure Yin Dragon Thorn!

But Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's movements didn't stop. Her five fingers spread, and four stars of different colors rose from behind her head, then blasted toward the old steward like meteors!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Seeing Cheng Yuexiao actually urging the Star Core to attack, the old steward's face changed greatly; this is fighting for his life.

The first Star Core blasted over, and the star patterns and Star Arts inscribed inside exploded simultaneously. A Star Core appeared in the old steward's body and took it instantly.

The second Star Core blasted over, and the old steward barely took it, but took a step back. The moment the third Star Core blasted, the moment the cyan star light exploded, the old steward was blasted into the air, and fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth!

But Cheng Yuexiao's fourth Star Core followed closely. The red star light exploded, directly blasting the old steward into the air. The moment a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed, the old steward was like a bullet, blasted through the roof of the He Zheng Hall, and blasted out.

A large amount of building mud and sand poured down, but Cheng Yuexiao's movements didn't stop. The star light hand instantly grabbed toward Sun Rang beside Emperor Qian'an.

Emperor Qian'an's expression turned sharp, and he took the initiative to meet her, also blasting a palm toward Cheng Yuexiao. At the same time, the National Jade Seal appeared above Emperor Qian'an's head, emitting hazy star light to protect him.

"Sun Rang, attack!" At the same time, Emperor Qian'an shouted!

Forced to this point, Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang, also roared and followed Emperor Qian'an to kill Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao!

Cheng Yuexiao just swept contemptuously and took a step. Earth-yellow brilliance spread.

The next instant, earth-yellow star light rose under Emperor Qian'an's feet like a dragon, directly trapping Emperor Qian'an.

In an instant, Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang's face changed greatly, and he turned and fled!

The cyan Star Core flew out from behind Cheng Yuexiao's head again, directly blasting toward Sun Rang.

The cyan Star Core was like it had grown wings, arriving first, blasting behind Sun Rang in an instant. The cyan Star Core instantly turned into countless cyan silk nets, trapping Sun Rang layer by layer.

Sun Rang's star power surged, constantly melting the cyan silk net.

But he melted it fast, and the cyan silk net surged faster. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped him into a cocoon-like thing.

"Still want to run!"

With a cold laugh, Cheng Yuexiao just beckoned, and Sun Rang, who was tied into a human cocoon, was summoned to Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's side.

At this time, the old steward who had been blasted away fell from the big hole in the main hall again. Seeing Emperor Qian'an who was trapped, he was anxious. "Cheng Yuexiao, you dare!"

Cheng Yuexiao smiled and flew back rapidly.

While flying back, she threw a punch, directly blasting Sun Rang's middle and lower Star Palaces into pieces.

One punch, and Sun Rang was abolished.

It also made Sun Rang stop struggling completely, his eyes full of despair.

Outside the hall, the Forbidden Army had rushed over. The Forbidden Army general, whose cultivation reached Tier 7, Ninth Layer, looked at the scene in front of him, including hundreds of Tier 5 and Tier 6 Forbidden Army soldiers, and was stunned.

Completely unable to understand the situation.

Some smart ones had already guessed something: Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao made a move.

But precisely because they were smart, they pretended not to know.

Also at the same time, the old steward waved his hand and broke the Grand Master's ban on Emperor Qian'an.

Emperor Qian'an, who was released, was furious. "Cheng Yuexiao, you..."

Just about to break into a curse, he suddenly saw the Forbidden Army rushing in, and Emperor Qian'an swallowed the words he was about to curse.

In this regard, Emperor Qian'an is still very sensible!

For one thing, can the Forbidden Army surround Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao?

No.

Even the old steward is not the Grand Master's opponent, let alone these Forbidden Army soldiers.

Besides, surrounding the Grand Master is no good for him either.

Then there is no need to publicize this matter. If this matter is publicized, it will only damage his dignity as an emperor.

So, Emperor Qian'an swallowed the words he was about to curse.

"Retreat!"

In the end, Emperor Qian'an swallowed his teeth and blood, and all his anger and dissatisfaction turned into this angry shout!

None of those who can be in the Forbidden Army are fools.

Hearing Emperor Qian'an's angry shout, they all lowered their heads and retreated, not even daring to look more.

This kind of thing between the monarch and the Grand Master, looking more might bring a disaster!

After the Forbidden Army retreated, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao looked at Emperor Qian'an. "Your Majesty is frightened, but if you can clear the treacherous villains around you, it is worth it!"

At this moment, Emperor Qian'an, who had suffered a big loss, could only respond with a cold laugh.

Wanted to say something, but couldn't.

The inner court official he was determined to protect, even with his life, was captured by Cheng Yuexiao right in front of him, and then abolished. What else could he say?

The Tier 8 old steward he had always relied on was also blasted away by the Grand Master in a few moves.

This was like a sharp slap, slapping Emperor Qian'an awake.

Emperor Qian'an used to think that the combat power of Tier 8 was about the same.

Maybe the old steward's combat power was a little weaker than the Grand Master's, but only a little.

But today's battle made him see the huge gap between Tier 8 and Tier 8.

In that situation just now, if the Grand Master wanted to kill the old steward, it was really very possible!

This also made Emperor Qian'an terrified.

As long as the Tier 8 old steward is there, his sense of security is bursting. Because of the Nine-Sheng Bian Bell, the Grand Master cannot make a move on him. Except for the Grand Master, others cannot do anything to the old steward.

But if the old steward is gone, the Grand Master is still not afraid, but his sense of security is gone.

With the Grand Master's purge today and the previous losses in Yangjiang County, there are not many Tier 7 experts in the palace.

Especially the Tier 7 experts among the inner court officials, they have almost been killed by the Grand Master!

Cheng Yuexiao saw Emperor Qian'an's behavior and knew that this was Emperor Qian'an softening.

However, today's things are not finished yet.

The next instant, Cheng Yuexiao bowed to the old steward. "Old Steward, Grand Steward of the Inner Court Li Teng and Deputy Steward Sun Rang led people to blood-wash more than a thousand people in Jinshan County. Such atrocities, just killing these ringleaders is not enough!"

"This cleaning up the house, is it for you, Old Steward, or should I execute it on your behalf?"

The old steward looked at Emperor Qian'an. Emperor Qian'an's face was pale and he didn't speak, so he already understood.

This Majesty was frightened, or rather, intimidated, today.

That is to say, for a short time, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao is also unstoppable!

Can only do as Cheng Yuexiao means.

A quarter of an hour later, the old steward summoned all the inner court officials with ranks in the palace, and then publicly announced the crimes of the new Grand Steward and Deputy Steward of the Inner Court.

Someone executed the punishment of a thousand cuts on Sun Rang!

At the same time, all inner court officials who participated in the blood-washing of the Xu Family Village were beheaded on the spot.

Also sent the Forbidden Army to pass the order to exterminate the families of Sun Rang and Li Teng!

These two, although inner court officials, were powerful and had relatives, and even adopted children in the clan, considered descendants.

In Dachen Wan Yi, they were also powerful.

But in just half a day, the sky changed.

More than three hundred people in the Li Teng and Sun Rang clans were all exterminated.

The beheaded heads were piled in front of the inner court officials, scaring the inner court officials until their legs went soft, and some were scared to faint on the spot!

Inside the He Zheng Hall, Emperor Qian'an Gao Ye held a cup of hot tea, his expression incomparably ugly.

Today's matter is his great shame!

But he is helpless against Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao sitting opposite him!

In the past, Cheng Yuexiao, in the eyes of Emperor Qian'an Gao Ye, was a steed tamed by him. Although divine, she was also obedient.

But now Cheng Yuexiao has become a fierce tiger, a fierce tiger that will choose people to eat at any time!

Making him dare not act rashly!

In the past, the monarch and minister sat opposite each other and talked about everything, but today they sat together and were speechless.

Inside the He Zheng Hall, the Deputy Grand Steward of the Inner Court, Sun Rang, whose cultivation was abolished, died after being cut more than a thousand times.

"Your Majesty, Grand Master, the old slave has finished cleaning up the house. Is the Grand Master satisfied?" The old steward asked in a low voice.

"Old Steward, I respect you because you have responsibility and principles! Although His Majesty is wise, sometimes he will make small mistakes. We ministers should persuade His Majesty at the right time, instead of watching His Majesty make mistakes. These disciples and grandchildren, please discipline them more, Old Steward." Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao said.

"The old slave remembers!"

"Your Majesty, since that's the case, the old subject will retire!"

After speaking, Cheng Yuexiao bowed to Emperor Qian'an and then left the He Zheng Hall, stepping away.

Just as Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao had just left, in the He Zheng Hall, there was the sound of throwing things, and hysterical roars!

After a while, it gradually stabilized.

Emperor Qian'an, who had finished venting, asked the old steward with red eyes, "Old Steward, what happened today? Why couldn't you even take two or three moves from the Grand Master?"

Emperor Qian'an's words were full of questioning.

Even suspecting that this old steward didn't use his full strength!

"Alas!"

The old steward sighed. "Your Majesty, haven't you noticed that the Grand Master's cultivation has greatly improved! She used to cultivate three kinds of star power, but now, her attainments in fire-type star power have reached the Tier 8 level, and I can't see the earth-type, but it is definitely above Tier 7."

"The Grand Master of the past, the old slave could still deal with!"

"But the Grand Master of now is no longer something the old slave can deal with!"

"However, the Grand Master still has a bottom line and will not hurt Your Majesty."

Emperor Qian'an's expression became extremely complex. "Old Steward, then you say, between the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun and the Grand Master, who is strong and who is weak?"

"If they fight, what will be the outcome?"

The old steward's expression also became complex. "Your Majesty, no matter what, the Grand Master is ultimately the pillar of Chen Guo; the Tianyang Tianyang Xingjun is an external enemy!"

"As for the outcome, with the old slave's cultivation, it is impossible to speculate!"

Hearing this, Emperor Qian'an nodded lightly with a complex expression.

However, the Grand Master still has a bottom line and will not harm His Majesty."

Emperor Qian'an's expression became extremely complex in an instant. "Old Chief Steward, then tell me, between the Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun and the Grand Master, who is stronger and who is weaker?

If the two of them were to clash, what would the outcome be?"

The Old Chief Steward's expression also became complex. "Your Majesty, regardless of anything else, the Grand Master is ultimately the pillar of Great Chen, while the Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun is a foreign enemy!

As for the outcome, with this old servant's cultivation, I am unable to speculate!"

Hearing this, Emperor Qian'an nodded gently with a complex expression.
