Chapter 660: Chapter 273: Riding the Sword on the Wind, Black Lotus Blooming

“One man’s selfishness can actually bring a whole nation to its grave?”

Chen Ping opened his eyes, a distant rainbow light approached from afar.

With a deafening roar, it suddenly became silent as it came near, transforming into a point of circular light, which he swallowed whole.

“Riding the wind with a sword, vanquishing demons between Heaven and Earth.”

Chen Ping let out a long sigh, recalling the scene he witnessed earlier, feeling immense lament in his heart.

One can only say, reality is too absurd, even more outrageous than what is depicted in stories.

“Ji Tang has met his end, and Yujing has been taken down. It was largely due to the intervention of Monk Baoshu from the Wuxiang Zen Temple and Venerable Chi Yang from the Pure Yang Sword Sect…”

Saying this, there was still a trace of reluctance in Chen Ping’s eyes.

“Just a little bit more, and the Ji Family ancestor could draw out the fortune of Yujing for a hundred miles…”

Even with his Soul Sword ability allowing him to go very fast and slay Ji Tang just in time, the damage caused, along with the deep-seated shadows in the hearts of the common people, are not so easily dispelled.

Consider the day when everyone realizes that their lives, as well as the environment they depend on for survival, are actually controlled by certain people, even just one person.

With others’ thoughts, life and death become involuntary.

This feeling, anyone with a brain would find deeply unsettling.

Ji Tang’s action was tantamount to completely stripping away the last layer of the cultivator’s pretense.

It plainly told the people of the world that so-called cultivators were, in fact, parasites drinking human blood and eating human flesh.

While receiving the grace of others, a moment’s thought can devastate Heaven and Earth, destroying the foundation of one’s existence and interaction with the world.

Weifu Bo once split his soul into a Little Cyan Bird, accompanying Chen Ping day and night, thoroughly understanding his inner thoughts.

Upon hearing this, he gave a doting smile and comforted, “Xiaoqi, you don’t need to concern yourself too much with these matters. The Thirty-Six Islands in the Star Luo Sea Domain have evolved on their own over three thousand years. Initially, they were all part of the Dingsheng Dynasty.

Until a thousand years ago, for some unknown reason, the Thirty-Six Islands Dynasty seemed to have lost control, the outer Law Celestial Net gradually weakened, and outsiders could sneak in unnoticed.

Thus, the situation changed. Of these Thirty-Six Dynasties, as many as twenty-eight played their kingdoms into collapse. Until over three hundred years ago, the Azure Dragon Hall Fubo Island faction personally took action to protect this island and even sent disciples to participate in the dynastic change, having keenly seen this point.”

Chen Ping returned with his sword, feeling relaxed.

Moreover, just a moment ago, those experts who reached the Divine Martial Realm and above sensed the rise of the disaster Qi and the loss of fortune, as Heaven and Earth emitted faint cries of agony and anger.

Though not sensed too vividly, it was closely related to themselves, and they could understand when a true great transformation was imminent.

Ji Tang is finished.

The Great Li Dynasty is truly about to change.

All of a sudden, people’s gaze at Chen Ping became somewhat unusual.

Since when has the struggle for supremacy and dynastic change become such a child’s play, concluded just like that?

Those hundred-thousand-strong armies, hundreds, or even thousands of war generals and advisors, are still in the dark.

They don’t know, when they hear their own Majesty has already taken the Great Li Yujing Capital, next, there will be no wars to fight as the dynasty changes, whether they will be pleasantly surprised or shocked.

Recalling those years taking this young man running from place to place, constantly worried about not being caught by the court’s soldiers, just living on as ordinary citizens was already quite good.

Weifu Bo had thousands of words in his heart.

Yet, couldn’t utter a single word.

As for Xiao Lin.

This iron-willed “Empress Xiao,” once holding great power and adept at strategic maneuvering, managing governance, the military, and handling civil affairs with great skill, now had only her long-lost “son” in her heart and eyes. She was too lazy to think about what to do next, just smiling gently and staying beside him, unwilling to leave.

Han Xiaoru and Ji Mingyue.

After undergoing special training, these two individuals quietly broke through the Divine Martial Realm amidst continuous battles without feeling anything amiss.

Taking Yujing, isn’t this a matter of course?

They have already grown accustomed to Chen Ping spontaneously performing miracles from time to time.

If everything were done by the book, with steady fighting from both sides for a year or half, that would actually be strange.

“Are you talking about the Celestial Star Demon Sect invasion?”

Chen Ping, having obtained some fragments from “Trace Origin and Steal Fortune,” speculated a bit of the truth, but was not completely aware of the situation at the time.

Weifu Bo’s true form was a Cyan Simurgh, and although her bloodline wasn’t pure, making her not a Divine Bird, she was still considered an extremely formidable Spirit Bird.

According to her, she once harmonized musical instruments with Xiao Lin, continuously accompanying Fairy Qiuyu. In name as a maid, in reality, they were sisters.

They watched Fairy Qiuyu rise from a small disciple until later becoming a Dao Alchemy Master, having gone through many things.

Saying this now, was just to express her feelings.

“It’s not just the Celestial Star Sect, this sect’s origins are strange, everyone suspects it’s not a being from this world. Yet, it’s not just our enemy in the Star Luo Sea Domain. Seeing it, we fight, right then and there, nothing unusual.

Mainly, this path of fortune cultivation can be achieved quickly. Ascendency and decline are all controlled by one person, posing a significant hidden danger. The Emperor shepherds the people, who are treated as cattle and sheep, harvested when due, following the times.
