Green Dragon Society, Ximen Wudi, who was making waves on the Nine Provinces continent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had strength even more exaggerated and terrifying than he had imagined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made him want to cry was that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>knowing there was such a terrifying taboo existence in the Nine Provinces,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he didn't have the capital to recruit him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only stare with wide eyes and watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling, this sourness, this mood, was simply...!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important point is that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>although Great Qing is known as one of the eight great dynasties,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he knew very well in his heart\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that the only ones who could truly be called a dynasty were the three: Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Great Han and Great Sui, which originally had the qualifications,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were now unable to take care of themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could collapse at any time, so how could they still be called a hegemon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Great Ming, Great Song, and Great Qing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if each had a deep foundation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compared to the first three, they couldn't be mentioned in the same breath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even, it is no exaggeration to say\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that if it weren't for the concern that one move would affect the whole situation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Ming, Great Song, and Great Qing would probably have become history long ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>can be seen from Great Han and Great Sui!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say they are like the setting sun would not be an exaggeration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any one of the three dynasties of Great Qin, Great Yuan, and Great Tang could easily crush them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that because the cake is only so big,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the emperors of the three major dynasties are all people who like to eat alone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are unwilling to let the other two sides take advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is why they have delayed taking action and are guarding against each other!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the current Nine Provinces might only have three major dynasties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the exposure of the Heavenly Dao Gold List, and the undercurrents in Great Han and Great Sui, the storm is coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that war is not far away!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also the reason why he is anxious but also wants to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>once the war breaks out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Qing, with its relatively weak national strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>can be foreseen to be directly divided and eaten by the three major dynasties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he, as the master of the Great Qing Dynasty, be willing

other emperors who focused their attention on Ximen Wudi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he paid more attention to Xunzi’s Heavenly Dao reward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in this way,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Longevity Pill, which was originally a unique item, now had a second case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though this one appeared in the Great Qin Dynasty, which had the strongest national power in the Nine Provinces,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he knew\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that in this world, the thing least lacking is people who don't fear death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if the death rate of going to Great Qin is higher,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it is inevitable that some people’s attention will be diverted there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the probability of him obtaining the Longevity Pill in Nanhua Old Immortal’s hands would increase a bit more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this point alone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how could it not make him happy?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it not make him excited?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>before the laughter had even faded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru’s hurried figure appeared in his field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could catch his breath,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru said in a low voice with a heavy face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, something big is wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Qin Emperor Ying Zheng has discovered your previous actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, he has already sent many Net assassins to our Great

been unrestrained suddenly stopped abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the transition was too rapid,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his old face turned red!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, he couldn't care about that at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were fixed on Li Ru, his tone full of nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many people came?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is their

this should be a warning from the Qin Emperor to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he really wanted to harm you, he probably would have acted long ago, instead of just killing some ministers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ru’s mouth twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he hadn't expected his lord’s reaction to be so intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't care about thinking too much,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and quickly poured out his guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as a strategist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if he was also somewhat lost,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he still had a brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, he could see the current situation at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he also knew in his heart\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that with the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Gold List, the battered ship of Great Han couldn't last much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as the chaos hadn't truly erupted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Qin Emperor wouldn't easily wipe him out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Yuan and Great Tang certainly wouldn't stand by and act as bystanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Zhuo’s face eased slightly, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not long after the Heavenly Dao Gold List was exposed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>news of the Great Sui Dynasty’s Yang Gong Treasury\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>swept through the entire Nine Provinces like a gale!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the already lively Nine Provinces continent\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>became even more lively!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>compared to before,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the commotion this time could be described as unprecedented!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only martial artists, but even ordinary people participated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the participating crowds were roughly divided into four batches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first batch was composed of countless forces, major dynasties, and reclusive old monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their goal was simple: to seize the Longevity Pill in Nanhua Old Immortal’s hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second batch was organized by countless experts and martial artists who didn't fear death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes were set on the Longevity Pill in the hands of Great Qin’s Xunzi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third batch was the weakest, even mixed with many ordinary people, but the number was the largest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because their actions covered the entire Nine Provinces continent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their idea was also pure: they hoped to have the same good luck as Xunzi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to obtain the Dao rhyme left behind by a taboo existence like Ximen Wudi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and from then on, soar to the sky and become a person above others!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the fourth batch, it was still just a prototype.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because the news of Yang Gong’s Treasury had only just spread through the Nine Provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was fast, it was impossible to gather in Chang'an within a day or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it is worth mentioning

exclaim!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mainly because among these figures,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>each one had a resounding name in the Great Sui Jianghu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, one man who looked extraordinary\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was Song Que, known as the Heavenly Blade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him sat a smiling old Daoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura was actually on par with Song Que!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his name was also famous in the Great Sui Jianghu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was none other than\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the loose person known as the number one person of the Daoist school in the Great Sui Dynasty, Ning Daoqi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Famous throughout the world for his \"Eight Pounces of Scattered Hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the two of them, the Jingnian Zen Temple also sent several experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said

called luxurious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the crowd,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Qinghui, who had been silent, broke the calm first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summoning everyone here this time,

spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Qinghui stood up and bowed to the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was filled with a sense of righteousness and holiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Abbot, you
