Chapter 45

Great Qing, Imperial Study.

Compared to Zhao Ji’s reaction and thoughts,

Kangxi, who had self-awareness,

had a face that was both shocked and wanting to cry.

What was shocking was that

the Great Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, who was making waves on the Nine Provinces continent,

had strength even more exaggerated and terrifying than he had imagined!

What made him want to cry was that

knowing there was such a terrifying taboo existence in the Nine Provinces,

he didn't have the capital to recruit him!

He could only stare with wide eyes and watch.

This feeling, this sourness, this mood, was simply...!!

The most important point is that

although Great Qing is known as one of the eight great dynasties,

he knew very well in his heart

that the only ones who could truly be called a dynasty were the three: Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang!

As for Great Han and Great Sui, which originally had the qualifications,

they were now unable to take care of themselves.

They could collapse at any time, so how could they still be called a hegemon!

And Great Ming, Great Song, and Great Qing,

even if each had a deep foundation,

compared to the first three, they couldn't be mentioned in the same breath!

Even, it is no exaggeration to say

that if it weren't for the concern that one move would affect the whole situation,

Great Ming, Great Song, and Great Qing would probably have become history long ago!

This point

can be seen from Great Han and Great Sui!

To say they are like the setting sun would not be an exaggeration.

Any one of the three dynasties of Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang could easily crush them!

It’s just that because the cake is only so big,

and the emperors of the three major dynasties are all people who like to eat alone!

They are unwilling to let the other two sides take advantage.

That is why they have delayed taking action and are guarding against each other!

Otherwise,

the current Nine Provinces might only have three major dynasties!

And with the exposure of the Heavenly Dao Gold List, and the undercurrents in Great Han and Great Sui, the storm is coming.

He understood

that war is not far away!!!

This is also the reason why he is anxious but also wants to cry.

Because

once the war breaks out,

Great Qing, with its relatively weak national strength,

can be foreseen to be directly divided and eaten by the three major dynasties!

How could he, as the master of the Great Qing Dynasty, be willing to accept such a situation!!

Great Han, Luoyang City.

"Hahaha, destiny is truly with me!"

"This Heavenly Dao Gold List came at just the right time!"

Seeing the content on the Heavenly Dao Gold List,

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but look up and laugh.

Compared to other emperors who focused their attention on Ximen Wudi,

he paid more attention to Xunzi’s Heavenly Dao reward!

Because in this way,

the Longevity Pill, which was originally a unique item, now had a second case!

Even though this one appeared in the Great Qin Dynasty, which had the strongest national power in the Nine Provinces,

he knew

that in this world, the thing least lacking is people who don't fear death!

Thus,

even if the death rate of going to Great Qin is higher,

it is inevitable that some people’s attention will be diverted there.

In that case,

the probability of him obtaining the Longevity Pill in Nanhua Old Immortal’s hands would increase a bit more!

Just this point alone,

how could it not make him happy?!

How could it not make him excited?!

However,

before the laughter had even faded,

Li Ru’s hurried figure appeared in his field of vision.

Before he could catch his breath,

Li Ru said in a low voice with a heavy face.

"My Lord, something big is wrong!"

"The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng has discovered your previous actions."

"Right now, he has already sent many Net assassins to our Great Han!"

"In the court, no less than twenty officials have died!"

Dong Zhuo was stunned upon hearing this.

The laughter that had been unrestrained suddenly stopped abruptly.

Because the transition was too rapid,

his old face turned red!

But at this moment, he couldn't care about that at all.

His eyes were fixed on Li Ru, his tone full of nervousness.

"How many people came?"

"Is their target me, the Prime Minister?"

"Forget it, quickly go and summon my son Fengxian back!"

As he spoke,

whether it was because of nervousness or fear,

the fat on his body trembled.

"My Lord, don't be anxious!"

"General Fengxian only led fifty thousand troops away not long ago."

"Even if summoned back, it probably won't be back for three to five days." ===== CHAPTER 88 =====

"Moreover, according to my guess, this should be a warning from the Qin Emperor to you."

"If he really wanted to harm you, he probably would have acted long ago, instead of just killing some ministers."

Li Ru’s mouth twitched slightly.

Clearly, he hadn't expected his lord’s reaction to be so intense.

He couldn't care about thinking too much,

and quickly poured out his guess.

After all, as a strategist,

even if he was also somewhat lost,

he still had a brain.

Naturally, he could see the current situation at a glance.

Although he also knew in his heart

that with the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Gold List, the battered ship of Great Han couldn't last much longer.

But as long as the chaos hadn't truly erupted,

the Qin Emperor wouldn't easily wipe him out!

Because

Great Yuan and Great Tang certainly wouldn't stand by and act as bystanders.

Hearing this,

Dong Zhuo’s face eased slightly, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And not long after the Heavenly Dao Gold List was exposed,

news of the Great Sui Dynasty’s Yang Gong Treasury

swept through the entire Nine Provinces like a gale!

In an instant,

the already lively Nine Provinces continent

became even more lively!

Even,

compared to before,

the commotion this time could be described as unprecedented!

Not only martial artists, but even ordinary people participated.

For a time,

the participating crowds were roughly divided into four batches.

The first batch was composed of countless forces, major dynasties, and reclusive old monsters.

Their goal was simple: to seize the Longevity Pill in Nanhua Old Immortal’s hands!

The second batch was organized by countless experts and martial artists who didn't fear death.

Their eyes were set on the Longevity Pill in the hands of Great Qin’s Xunzi!

The third batch was the weakest, even mixed with many ordinary people, but the number was the largest!

Because their actions covered the entire Nine Provinces continent!

Their idea was also pure: they hoped to have the same good luck as Xunzi,

to obtain the Dao rhyme left behind by a taboo existence like Ximen Wudi,

and from then on, soar to the sky and become a person above others!!

As for the fourth batch, it was still just a prototype.

Mainly because the news of Yang Gong’s Treasury had only just spread through the Nine Provinces.

Even if it was fast, it was impossible to gather in Chang'an within a day or two.

However, it is worth mentioning that

the Nine Provinces, which had been like a pool of stagnant water,

was now rippling.

Great Sui, Dita Peak.

At this moment, many figures gathered in the Cihang Hall.

If an old Jianghu expert were present, they would definitely not be able to help but exclaim!

Nothing else,

mainly because among these figures,

each one had a resounding name in the Great Sui Jianghu!

For example, one man who looked extraordinary

was Song Que, known as the Heavenly Blade!

Beside him sat a smiling old Daoist.

His aura was actually on par with Song Que!

And his name was also famous in the Great Sui Jianghu.

He was none other than

the loose person known as the number one person of the Daoist school in the Great Sui Dynasty, Ning Daoqi!

Famous throughout the world for his "Eight Pounces of Scattered Hands."

Besides the two of them, the Jingnian Zen Temple also sent several experts.

It can be said that

just this lineup alone,

not to mention the entire Nine Provinces,

at the very least in the Great Sui Jianghu, it could be called luxurious!

Scanning the crowd,

Fan Qinghui, who had been silent, broke the calm first.

"Summoning everyone here this time, I presume you have all received the news."

"Yang Gong’s Treasury is of great importance; it not only concerns the new emperor but also the life and death of tens of thousands of ordinary people!"

"Even, according to the report from my spy left in the Demon Sect,"

"inside Yang Gong’s Treasury, there might be hidden the Demon Sect’s holy object, the Evil Emperor Relic!"

"Once the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian obtains this object, for our righteous path, it will be a monstrous disaster!"

"Thus, no matter what, we must enter the treasury before the Demon Sect!"

"I ask everyone to help me!!"

As she spoke,

Fan Qinghui stood up and bowed to the crowd.

Her face was filled with a sense of righteousness and holiness.

"Abbot, you are too polite."

"Since this matter concerns the world and the life and death of countless people,"

"as righteous people and predecessors, we naturally should not shirk!"

Ning Daoqi turned his body slightly to avoid the bow.

Stroking his beard, he responded with a smile.

But how much of this was truly for the sake of the common people, that is unknown.

"Amitabha."

"Our Jingnian Zen Temple has always been of one mind with the Cihang Jingzhai, supporting each other."

"We naturally will not stand by and watch in this matter."

"Not to mention it concerns the common people of the world."

"Abbot Fan, just give the order, we will definitely follow!" ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
