She subconsciously wanted to stop this, but she realized that her senior sister had not said anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huai Ren was looking toward the southern part of the capital, lost in thought and paying no attention to what was about to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a dagger happened to appear outside the reception hall, breaking that breeze and that possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Daoist Siyuan looked over, the dagger had returned to its owner’s sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Thirty-Two had finished searching the estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Siyuan expressionlessly said, \"At times, mercy is idiocy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Thirty-Two meekly said, \"Since this is His Holiness’s will, mistakes are also correct and idiocy might only be because of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded rather awkward, but the meaning was extremely simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Pope was wrong, he was still right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Pope really was wrong? Then please consult the sentence above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Siyuan looked away from Prince Chen Liu, and his sleeve also stopped fluttering in the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Thirty-Two gave a simple explanation of the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Mount Mo collapsed to when the Li Palace priests seized the Road of Peace, many events had taken place around the capital, but only a short time had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sides at the Mausoleum of Books were still in a stalemate. Even when confronting a true legend, Xu Yourong still had no intention of backing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huai Ren and Huai Shu had entered the tunnel in the early morning, so they had no idea what had happened over at the Mausoleum of Books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they learned that Wang Zhice had appeared, they were naturally quite shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would Lord Wang...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huai Shu was nervous and anxious, finding it impossible to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huai Ren thought, no wonder something seemed strange over at the south. After muttering to herself for a time, she declared, \"We are going to the Mausoleum of Books to take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huai Shu’s voice shook as she said, \"But this is Lord Wang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huai Ren calmly said, \"Even Lord Wang cannot recklessly order around Holy Maiden Peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she brought Huai Shu out of the Prince of Xiang’s estate and toward the Mausoleum of Books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ability to make such a determined choice at this moment made the Li Palace priests feel even more respect toward Huai Ren and Holy Maiden Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Siyuan ignored these things. He turned once more to Prince Chen Liu and said, \"If there’s a chance, I will still kill you today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Thirty-Two felt helpless as he listened, but he couldn’t do anything, because Daoist Siyuan had only said he would do it if he had a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Chen Liu asked, \"You really want to kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Siyuan said, \"I’ve wanted to kill you starting from many years ago, because I already knew back then that you would be trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he had still been a young man praised by both the Tianhai Divine Empress and the Pope, and had just become an archbishop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Chen Liu, on the other hand, had been the only representative of the Chen Imperial clan left in the capital, holding a special place in the hearts of the commoners and officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Chen Liu said, \"It really is as Mo Yu said. You really do have an extremely violent personality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Siyuan noted, \"Why bring up my relationship with her? Let alone you, I even once wanted to kill His Holiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Chen Liu knew what he was referring to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when the Orthodox Academy was besieged and in the events that followed, Daoist Siyuan was a frequent sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he would be drinking tea in that tea house in Hundred Flowers Lane, or perhaps he would be standing in the darkness, staring at those walls covered in ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Prince Chen Liu had been standing across from him, and what he had wanted to do was to protect Chen Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, the situation had been reversed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Thirty-Two brought Prince Chen Liu out of the estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Chen Liu was silent as he gazed at the ruined courtyard and the fallen corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know where the Li Palace planned to imprison him or whether Daoist Siyuan would attempt to find a chance to assassinate him. Neither did he know if he should pray for Chen Changsheng’s victory or Shang Xingzhou’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was out of concern for his life, he naturally preferred the former.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was not how he wanted the story to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only knew that whether Shang Xingzhou won or Chen Changsheng won, he and his father had already lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the prerequisite that they had not truly made their move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was precisely because he and his father had not truly prepared to move that they had lost so cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It now seemed that he, his father, the other princes of the Chen clan, and even Shang Xingzhou had underestimated Chen Changsheng’s daring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But supreme power had always been the most corrosive of poisons. Who could resist that allure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No snow was falling over the Li Palace, but it still seemed very cold. Perhaps it was because it was too empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only two people were present on the vast plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Wu sat on the cold stones, his hair a mess and his belt drenched in blood. He looked absolutely miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was extremely angry at the moment and wanted nothing more than to curse eighteen generations of Chen Changsheng’s ancestors, caring not that there might be emperors among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not dare do this, because a woman dressed in white was standing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Hua’s delicate face was fraught with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gripped a dagger and stared only at the back of Daoist Wu’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Pope left, he had ordered very clearly that if anything changed, she needed to kill this old man the first moment she could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two archbishops had also instructed her very well: in order to kill someone, it was best to cut off their head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changsheng walked out of the Li Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teachers and examinees participating in the Grand Examination were all in the Green Leaf World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd that had come to see the spectacle had dispersed, leaving the stone pillars alone in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that he was going alone to confront the world, so he couldn’t help but feel a little lonely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just when he was prepared to sigh, he saw Tang Thirty-Six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him feel rather surprised and somewhat awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Thirty-Six said, \"Since you could write a letter to Guan Bai beforehand, you could also have told me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was very calm when he said this, but anyone could hear the anger inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changsheng replied, \"I know the Tang clan’s style of doing things. Once they strike, they will leave no path of retreat, so I didn’t want to involve you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Thirty-Six said, \"Since you want to move, you have to move with a thunderous momentum. Do you not agree with the Holy Maiden’s method?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changsheng replied, \"Yourong’s method is already the best method in this sort of situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To use the future of humanity to threaten someone like Shang Xingzhou seemed like a naive, childish, absurd, and laughable idea, but it was actually not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Shang Xingzhou understood that naivete often symbolized absolute cruelty and callousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wang Zhice had not suddenly appeared today, Xu Yourong really might have succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Thirty-Six asked, \"What are you prepared to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changsheng replied, \"In terms of both cultivation and wisdom, I’m far inferior to Yourong, but at times, I’m still more naive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at a tense moment like this, Tang Thirty-Six still couldn’t help but want to tease Chen Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not do this, because he vaguely guessed at what Chen Changsheng wanted to express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more naive one was, the crueler they were; was this what he meant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changsheng knew what he was worried about. After patting him on the shoulder, he began to walk south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Thirty-Six stood dumbstruck. Only after a while did he come to his senses and run after him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1449,"2026-06-06T16:02:22.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","86ef59c4627e3b2d09ab194e4de0816b296552e85864b58dfcdd1863e81ed6f8","ze-tian-ji-chapter-1094","ze-tian-ji-chapter-1092",1185,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fze-tian-ji-cover.jpg"]
