Chapter 668: Sixth place on the Martial Emperor Ranking, commenting on Song Que

On the White Jade Platform.

Su Chen shook his folding fan lightly, and without waiting for the crowd's discussion to end, he continued:

"Regarding the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, there is also a strange story."

"Shi Zhixuan, as a top figure in the Demonic Sect, also has great ambition, intending to covet the imperial empire."

"He once sneaked into the imperial palace decades ago, rescued Yang Xuyan, the son of the original Crown Prince Yang Yong, and took him as his personal disciple."

"He also once entered the government as an official under the pseudonym Pei Ju, managing the Western Regions for the Great Sui, and in a few years, he connected and combined, splitting the powerful grassland empire Turkic into two."

"It is precisely because of this move of his that the various alien tribes in the north were constantly fighting, unable to divide troops to invade the Great Sui."

"Besides being the master of the Huajian Sect and the Butian Pavilion, he also secretly subdued the master of the Tianlian Sect, An Long, making him willingly listen to his dispatch."

"Later, when the smoke of war rose in the Great Sui, Shi Zhixuan secretly assisted An Long's junior brother, Fu Gongyou, in establishing the Jianghuai Army, becoming a vassal who occupied one side."

"Such layouts were all done casually, quietly, and can be called extremely brilliant."

As soon as these words came out, the great hall immediately boiled.

What a great Evil King Shi Zhixuan!

Everyone listened to this commentary, and couldn't help but sigh again.

They were still feeling sorry for Shi Zhixuan before, feeling that such a brilliant genius was ruined by Cihang Jingzhai.

Now they know that Shi Zhixuan is even more terrifying than they imagined.

First, he was sealed by the Cihang Jingzhai holy maiden Bi Xiuxin.

Then he was split in personality and had to throw himself into various Buddhist sects to practice Buddhism.

Finally, he was hunted down by the four great holy monks of the Fomen and the Daoist leader Ning Daoqi.

Ordinary people encountering such crises, even if they barely escaped, would have to run for their lives, with no time to care about anything else.

But Shi Zhixuan, in such difficult circumstances, still laid out so many terrifying layouts.

Even this layout is not weaker than Zhu Yuyan's.

Both chose to lay out in three directions: the imperial court, the folk, and the Jianghu.

Layouts targeting the imperial court.

Zhu Yuyan sent Wei Lianxiang into the Great Sui imperial palace, lurking for nearly thirty years as the Chief Eunuch, passing on information in the palace.

And Shi Zhixuan rescued Yang Xuyan, the son of the original Crown Prince Yang Yong, and entered the government as an official under the name Pei Ju, managing the Western Regions.

Layouts targeting the folk.

Zhu Yuyan secretly assisted her junior brother Lin Shihong in developing in the Yu and Poyang areas, with hundreds of thousands of righteous troops under her command, as one of the strongest vassals in the south.

And Shi Zhixuan supported An Long's junior brother, Fu Gongyou, to form the Jianghuai Army, dominating both sides of the Jianghuai.

The Great Sui is now filled with smoke of war, known as having thirty-six rebel kings and seventy-two smoke of war.

But most of them are just making up the numbers; those who truly have the strength to compete for the world are only a few forces.

Only a few forces possess the strength to compete for the world.

Among them, Fu Gongyou's Jianghuai Army and Lin Shihong's Chu Army belong to these few.

Jianghu aspects go without saying.

Although people of the Demonic Sect are unruly and do not obey constraints, overall they respect the Evil King and the Yin Empress.

The influence of the two in the Demonic Sect can be said to be on par.

Overall.

Shi Zhixuan's talent is undoubtedly three points higher than Zhu Yuyan's.

Just the act of managing the Western Regions under the pseudonym Pei Ju at least won twenty years of peace for the Great Sui border.

Counting through the ages, people with such talent are also rare.

For a time, the people in the great hall could not help but make intense discussions:

"What? Shi Zhixuan is the Pei Ju who severely damaged the northern countries back then? No wonder this person appeared briefly and disappeared quickly."

"This is interesting; the Pei Ju back then pitted several northern alien tribes miserably; the Turkic was split by him."

"Hahaha, the Turkic, Tuyuhun, Tiele, and other alien tribes seem to be looking for Pei Ju everywhere now, wanting to smash his bones and scatter his ashes, which shows how much they hate him."

"Think about how majestic the Turkic Empire was back then, with a momentum not below the Mongol Yuan, but it was split into East and West parts by Pei Ju without a single soldier."

"If the Turkic and Tuyuhun people knew that Pei Ju was Shi Zhixuan, they would probably kill their way to the Central Plains to find Shi Zhixuan for revenge."

"Revenge? Shi Zhixuan is a high-level Martial Emperor; even if Bi Xuan and others go together, they are not his opponents."

"This Shi Zhixuan is too ruthless; being targeted by Cihang Jingzhai like this, he can still have such achievements; it is truly terrifying."

"No wonder how they couldn't find his son after Yang Yong died; it turns out he was rescued by the Evil King; Shi Zhixuan has big plans."

"Could it be that the Evil King intends to finally support Yang Xuyan to the throne? Yang Guang's position was not right back then; Yang Xuyan is indeed qualified to become emperor."

"The Great Sui Demonic Sect is truly terrifying; the Evil King and the Yin Empress actually each supported a rebel force; I really dare not imagine."

"The Great Sui is truly going to turn upside down; both righteous and demonic camps want to overthrow the imperial court; it seems the Great Sui is really going to perish."

The fifth private room in the West District.

"Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan, I didn't expect this person to be the son lost by Crown Prince Yang Yong back then."

Shi Feixuan whispered, feeling that her doubts were solved.

Fan Qinghui's face was pale.

I didn't expect that even though she targeted Shi Zhixuan so much, Shi Zhixuan still made so many layouts in secret.

"I really didn't misjudge back then."

"Shi Zhixuan is the most troublesome person in the Demonic Sect and the biggest obstacle to the righteous path."

Fan Qinghui said to herself, her brows furrowing deeper.

She is now incomparably fortunate, fortunate that the Evil King Shi Zhixuan and the Yin Empress Zhu Yuyan are mortal enemies.

If these two top figures of the Demonic Sect joined forces, I am afraid that her side would really not be an opponent.

The fifth private room in the South District.

Bi Xuan slapped the table suddenly, stood up in anger, his eyes burning with fire, and said:

"Pei Ju! So Shi Zhixuan was Pei Ju back then!"

The three disciples in the private room were all silent, fearing that they would be implicated by Bi Xuan at this juncture.

Regarding Bi Xuan's anger, they understood very well.

If you ask who the Turkic hates most among the Central Plains people, it is undoubtedly Pei Ju.

It was Pei Ju who planned it, which led to the Turkic becoming two empires, East and West, and its strength was directly weakened by half. ===== CHAPTER 670 =====
