Chapter 640: Su Chen predicts the fall of the Great Qin, exposes the Luo Wang conspiracy

~7 min read 1,210 words

As Su Chen's voice fell, a wave of boiling excitement erupted throughout the hall.

The Heavenly Mandate Famous Sword Ranking had finally arrived, and everyone had been looking forward to this list with immense anticipation.

And the facts did not disappoint their expectations; the very first entry was a bombshell.

The Mandate of Non-Submission!

No one had expected that such a powerful Heavenly Mandate famous sword could only rank tenth.

Unruly and untamed, refusing to submit to anyone, resisting endlessly until there is no one above oneself.

This was clearly a mandate leading directly to the Supreme position.

Looking across the world, the only ones who could claim to have "no one above themselves" were the Emperors of the various dynasties.

But listening to the commentary, the crowd generally understood why the Ju Que sword ranked lower.

To put it bluntly, this Mandate of Non-Submission was a mandate of rebellion.

If the rebellion succeeded, one would become the founding emperor, with infinite glory.

But looking back through the ages, how many rebels have actually succeeded? Most were left to rot in the wilderness.

Therefore, although the Mandate of Non-Submission had the potential to become the Supreme ruler of the world, that possibility was too slim.

Not to mention being far inferior to the Emperor's Mandate, it was even vastly inferior to the Feudal Lord's Mandate.

However!

Even so, no one dared to underestimate the Mandate of Non-Submission.

Because throughout history, countless dynasties have been overthrown by rebellions and uprisings.

This wielder of the Ju Que sword was absolutely the most intolerable enemy of the imperial court.

And when Su Chen exposed the background of the Ju Que sword's wielder, the crowd was shaken once more.

Especially the martial arts experts of the Great Qin.

They never imagined that the black-sworded warrior Sheng Qi, who struck fear into the hearts of the Great Qin Jianghu, was once a hall master of the Nongjia Sect.

The gap in status between the two was like heaven and earth.

For a time, everyone in the hall could not help but discuss it fervently:

"Heavens! The Great Qin actually has ten Heavenly Mandate famous swords? No wonder Mr. Su says the sword culture of the Great Qin is the most prosperous."

"The Great Qin inherited the foundation of the ancient era; if we talk about deep heritage, no other dynasty can compare."

"Correct! In the ancient era, the Great Qin was the central territory of the Central Plains, while other dynasties were merely outer vassals that were quite barren."

"To think that the Ju Que sword is a Heavenly Mandate sword, carrying the Mandate of Non-Submission; no wonder this Sheng Qi could resist and slaughter his way through the seven states."

"This Mandate of Non-Submission is terrifying—submitting to no one, either rebelling to become emperor or ending in a violent death; it is truly too extreme."

"In that case, is this Sheng Qi destined to rebel? Rebelling against the First Emperor of Qin—his fate is already sealed."

"The true identity of the black-sworded warrior Sheng Qi is actually Chen Sheng, the hall master of the Kuiwei Hall of the Nongjia Sect? This is a major figure; how did he become Sheng Qi?"

"Indeed! I am also curious about what that shocking change was? And what is the Nongjia Sect's 'Azure Dragon Plan'?"

"This 'Azure Dragon Plan' is not just of the Nongjia Sect; it is a legend that has circulated in the Great Qin for a long time. To think it was actually true."

"I have also heard of the 'Azure Dragon Plan'; it is said to be a massive conspiracy layout targeting the Great Qin. Once successful, the Great Qin will fall."

West District, sixth private room.

Prince Fusu stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing with sharp, piercing light.

The Mandate of Non-Submission!

This was clearly another famous sword unfavorable to the Great Qin.

And to a certain extent, the Ju Que sword, carrying the Mandate of Non-Submission, was even more terrifying than the Tai E sword, which carried the Feudal Lord's Mandate.

Because the mandate of the Ju Que sword represented rebellion and uprising!

This was the greatest taboo for any dynasty, and the Great Qin was no exception.

"Sheng Qi, Chen Sheng, hall master of the Kuiwei Hall of the Nongjia Sect, 'Azure Dragon Plan' inheritor."

"To think that this 'Azure Dragon Plan' truly exists."

Prince Fusu clenched his fists and whispered to himself.

If it were just a sword of non-submission, that would be fine; there are plenty of people in the world who oppose the Great Qin.

But the identity of the Ju Que sword's wielder made Prince Fusu feel palpitations.

Although Sheng Qi had been expelled from the Nongjia Sect, he had once been an inheritor of the Azure Dragon Plan.

As the eldest imperial son of the Great Qin, he naturally knew of this Azure Dragon Plan.

Legend had it that the Azure Dragon Plan was a conspiracy layout against the Great Qin Dynasty, spanning decades and involving the various schools of thought.

Prince Fusu had originally thought this was just an exaggerated claim by the remnants of the six states.

But Su Chen's commentary just now dealt him a fatal blow.

The Azure Dragon Plan really exists!

And it could be confirmed that the Nongjia Sect was involved in the Azure Dragon Plan.

The former hall master of the Kuiwei Hall, Chen Sheng, was one of the inheritors of the Azure Dragon Plan designated by the Nongjia Sect's Xia Kui.

Although the influence of the Nongjia Sect was not as great as the Confucian, Mohist, Daoist, Legalist, or Yin-Yang schools, its number of disciples was the largest.

Just like the Beggar Gang of the Great Ming and Great Song, their disciples were everywhere, and their hidden strength was terrifying.

Sheng Qi, as an inheritor of the Azure Dragon Plan and wielder of the Ju Que sword with the Mandate of Non-Submission—

These two identities combined gave Prince Fusu a very dangerous feeling.

He had a feeling that this person would pose a huge threat to the Great Qin.

"National Master, you were once listed on the Great Qin Beauty Ranking; could you go and inquire about this 'Azure Dragon Plan'?"

Prince Fusu said to Moon Goddess.

Since this Azure Dragon Plan was real, he had to get to the bottom of it.

And among those in the private room qualified to ask Su Chen questions, only Moon Goddess, who was on the ranking, could do so.

Moon Goddess nodded slightly at Prince Fusu's words and walked out.

Previously, after rumors of the Azure Dragon Plan spread, she had been asked by Ying Zheng to deduce the details of the plan.

But she had spent seven days and seven nights and still could not calculate it.

Clearly, the impact of this Azure Dragon Plan was vast, exceeding her calculation abilities.

Therefore, she was also very curious about the truth behind the 'Azure Dragon Plan'.

But just as she walked out of the private room, before she could ask her question,

Lu Xiaofeng from another private room had already spoken up:

"Mr. Su, we don't know much about this Sheng Qi; could you provide us with a detailed commentary?"
