Chapter 871: Commenting on the reincarnation of a Daoist saint; waking from a dream is the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall erupted into an uproar again.

Everyone was shocked by this commentary, their eyes widened.

The first place on the long-awaited Semi-Saint List was finally revealed.

As the head of the Great Han Semi-Saint List, its gold content is far superior to the head of the Martial Emperor List of other imperial Jianghu.

Because this person is not an ordinary quasi-saint, but the one ranked first among five quasi-saints.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one person under the Martial Saint realm.

Before this, some guessed that the head of the Semi-Saint List would be a member of the last Divine Beast family, the Divine Turtle family.

Others guessed that the head of the Semi-Saint List might be that ancient immortal cultivator of the Heaven Gate.

As it turned out, it was neither; it was Old Immortal Nanhua.

Also an immortal cultivator, having lived for three hundred years.

At this name, all the Jianghu heroes in the hall were blank-eyed, having never heard of it at all.

But upon hearing Su Chen's subsequent words, everyone erupted into excitement.

The Great Virtuous Teacher, Zhang Jiao!

They were all too familiar with this person.

In the last ten years, the Great Han could be described as treacherous and surging.

In the Jianghu, the main events were the Heaven Gate's eastern and western conquests, and the major sects were all in danger.

But compared to the dramatic changes in the imperial court, these disputes in the Jianghu were nothing.

Since Emperor Ling of Han became critically ill, the Great Han Dynasty had completely entered a precarious moment.

In the capital.

The Ten Eunuchs and General He Jin fought each other.

One wanted to support Emperor Ling of Han's young son, Liu Xie, as emperor.

The other wanted to support Emperor Ling of Han's eldest son, Liu Bian, as emperor.

Along with this, Empress Dowager Dong was also uneasy and secretly sent an imperial decree for the Xiliang Inspector, Dong Zhuo, to enter the capital to serve the king.

As Emperor Ling of Han's illness worsened, this contention reached its peak.

The Ten Eunuchs forged an imperial decree to summon He Jin into the palace, took the opportunity to ambush him on both sides, and killed He Jin in one fell swoop.

He Jin's subordinates then angrily stormed into the palace, forcing the Ten Eunuchs to surrender and establish Liu Bian as emperor.

Later, the Xiliang Inspector, Dong Zhuo, used Empress Dowager Dong's decree to lead his army into the capital.

Now Dong Zhuo has been named Grand Tutor, holding power over the court, which has also led to public grievances.

Outside the capital.

The biggest change was the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The Great Virtuous Teacher, Zhang Jiao, traveled through the thirteen states of the Great Han in the name of preaching and giving alms, recruited countless believers, and established the Taiping Dao.

But in the name of creating a path, he actually harbored evil intentions, wanting to change the dynasty.

"The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall stand; the year is Jiazi, the world will be auspicious!"

As this slogan spread, the Taiping Dao disciples in major states rose up one after another, with immense momentum.

This was not an ordinary peasant uprising, but a long-planned rebellion.

The believers in the eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu were divided into thirty-six parties.

Large parties had over 100,000 people, small parties had tens of thousands, and each party had a commander.

A total of thirty-six party commanders, with a total force of several million.

And the leader of this rebellion was the Great Virtuous Teacher, Zhang Jiao!

Although this Yellow Turban Rebellion was eventually suppressed by the various volunteer armies of the Great Han.

But this became the last straw that broke the Great Han Dynasty, and from then on, warlords were everywhere, and they did not obey the king's law.

There were also many rumors in the Jianghu about Zhang Jiao.

Some said Zhang Jiao was just a demon priest, preaching in name but actually bewitching people.

Some said Zhang Jiao was a true enlightened master, possessing divine magic, able to draw talismans to heal wounds and scatter beans to become soldiers.

Of course, most of the latter were believers of the Taiping Dao, and no one believed what they said.

After all, how could there truly be divine skills like "drawing talismans to heal wounds and scattering beans to become soldiers" in this world?

But at this moment, everyone could not help but waver.

Because Zhang Jiao's master was a quasi-saint, an immortal cultivator who had lived for three hundred years.

Everyone had seen too much of the miraculous nature of immortal cultivation techniques, even including the art of resurrection.

If Zhang Jiao truly obtained the true transmission of Old Immortal Nanhua's immortal arts, then perhaps he really had skills like "drawing talismans to heal wounds and scattering beans to become soldiers."

In an instant, the entire hall exploded, and countless Jianghu heroes began to discuss:

"Heavens! To think Zhang Jiao really has a great background; he is the disciple of the head of the Semi-Saint List, Old Immortal Nanhua."

"I have walked the Jianghu for forty years and have never heard of the name Old Immortal Nanhua. It seems he is another reclusive master."

"The Great Han Jianghu is too terrifying; there is actually such a deep-hidden reclusive master."

"Hehe, this Old Immortal Nanhua might truly be a reclusive master, but his disciple Zhang Jiao almost turned the Great Han Jianghu upside down."

"I always thought Zhang Jiao was a Jianghu swindler, but I didn't expect him to be the disciple of a quasi-saint. Then perhaps he really has skills."

"Is this still in doubt? If Zhang Jiao had no real skills, how could he gather millions of believers? I once saw him draw talismans to save people with my own eyes."

"The Great Virtuous Teacher, Zhang Jiao, is deeply loved by the poor people of the Great Han. He definitely obtained the true transmission of Old Immortal Nanhua's immortal arts."

"That's right! Although I haven't seen 'scattering beans to become soldiers', I have seen the Yellow Turban strongmen around Zhang Jiao. That strength is definitely stronger than many Grandmasters."

"Fortunately, Old Immortal Nanhua himself did not participate in this uprising, otherwise, with his strength, the imperial court might not have been able to suppress it." ===== CHAPTER 873 =====
