Chapter 93

But the atmosphere inside the hall suddenly grew much heavier.

That invisible pressure.

Gave one the feeling of storm clouds gathering and wind filling the tower!

But it lasted only an instant.

The deadly aura vanished completely.

As if the previous scene had never happened!

And Yang Guang's lips, at some unknown moment, had already curled into a cold sneer.

His previously languid gaze had now become deep and detached!

Great Qin Realm, Mechanism City.

"I never expected Lord Donghuang Taiyi to be a secret agent left behind by the Tyrant!"

"Fortunately, fortunately, had the Heavenly Dao Golden List not exposed this, with such a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, wouldn't our situation have been perilous?!"

He slowly withdrew his gaze from the void.

Gao Jianli's expression was both solemn and relieved.

The solemnity stemmed from.

From this wave, it is foreseeable.

The Tyrant Ying Zheng may have left behind many more secret agents.

The relief came from.

Thanks to the exposure and warning from the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

We must act with ever greater caution from now on!

So we don't accidentally fall into a trap and delay our great cause!!

"Hmph! The Tyrant is still the Tyrant!"

"If not for his fear, how could the ruler of Great Qin—the most powerful of the Eight Imperial Realms—sink to such petty tactics?!"

"As an emperor, he is also the face of the Great Qin Dynasty, yet he refuses to walk the grand path!"

"Ha, utterly ridiculous!!"

Master Yan Dan sneered, his face filled with contempt.

In his words,

The icy killing intent was utterly unhidden!

If glances could kill, Ying Zheng would surely have been cut to pieces a thousand times over, torn limb from limb!!

"Master, your words are mistaken."

"An emperor certainly needs imperial dignity."

"But leaving secret agents serves the entire nation and its people!"

"Besides handling matters too delicate for open action, they also deter all enemies, including the ministers within the court!"

"Because where there is one, there are two—until the other secret agents are exposed, who dares say there aren't more?!!"

"Thus, whether other imperial realms or court ministers, none dare easily stir up trouble!"

"After all, the unknown is always the most terrifying!!"

"Therefore, we should take this as a warning."

Gao Jianli shook his head, looking at him with serious intent.

Though he hated Ying Zheng, even wished him dead right now!

He would not let his hatred of the man make him despise his methods or ignore them.

On the contrary.

He knew clearly.

Only by facing up to and acknowledging his enemy's strength could they act with greater seriousness and caution!

Upon hearing this,

Yan Dan's eyes flickered with displeasure.

Yet on the surface, he nodded silently, offering no denial.

…………

At the same moment.

In a certain inn within the Great Qin Realm.

Watching the content on the Heavenly Dao Golden List,

Fu Nian and Yan Lu trembled, their pupils contracting sharply, instinctively drawing in a sharp breath.

Shock and horror surfaced on their faces.

"Well? Do you still think Qin Huang is as you imagined?"

Watching their reactions,

Xunzi chuckled.

His tone held not the slightest surprise.

As if he had long anticipated this outcome.

"Master's rebuke is just. We were too narrow-minded, judging others by our own standards."

They exchanged glances.

A flush of shame appeared on both brothers' faces.

Even his voice dropped noticeably lower.

They truly had not expected this.

The leader of the Yin-Yang School, whom countless scholars of the Hundred Schools feared and found utterly vexing, was actually the former Prime Minister Gan Luo!

If not for the exposure of the Heavenly Dao Golden List, they would never have imagined it, even if beaten to death!

Even now, it still felt somewhat like a fantastical tale!

"Good that you know."

"You must remember, any emperor—unless he is a puppet!"

"Otherwise, once he ascends to the throne by his own ability, he absolutely will not be as simple as he appears on the surface!"

"Those who looked down on them have already paid the price in blood!"

Xunzi smiled faintly, his face wearing an expression of "the pupil can indeed be taught."

Fu Nian and Yan Lu heard this.

They nodded in deep agreement, responding with assent.

Seeing this.

Xunzi said no more.

Only the originally mild smile on his face abruptly transformed into astonishing killing intent.

"Enough, some more blind fools have come knocking."

"Deal with them quickly, we'll continue on our way, don't keep Your Majesty waiting too long!"

Fu Nian and Yan Lu were both stunned.

Then, as if sensing something.

They instinctively raised their heads and looked out the window, their eyes filled with killing intent.

Qinglong Peak, Qinglong Shanzhuang.

"Gan Luo?"

"Heh~ interesting."

Ximen Wudi chuckled with great interest.

A hint of surprise flickered across his face.

Although the Qinglong Society possessed an incomparably vast intelligence network.

He truly did not know that Lord Donghuang Taiyi was the former Prime Minister of Great Qin, Gan Luo.

Of course.
