Chapter 1034: Personally Attacking Great Gan

A huge pressure instantly covered the entire hall.

Internal Affairs Junior Supervisor Gao Ruo’s body shuddered and knew that Emperor Yuanchen was furious and even looked like he was about to vent it on other people.

Hanging around the Ruler was like being around a tiger, at this moment, even he who was like a right-hand man, felt his heart in his mouth.

He didn’t dare to reply, carefully handing a jade letter to the table.

Yinyu looked coldly at him and snatched it. A moment later, he hollered out and smashed the thing in his hands into pieces!

Within the jade letter were scenes from when those 300,000 Dao Soldiers were wiped out by that Heaven Path Sword.

At that moment, the veins on Yinyu’s neck swelled up to double in size. There was none of the usual King aura, he just looked like an injured lion.

A long while later, he managed to calm back down. Yinyu took in a deep breath and stared at Hanlin Academy Secretary Zuoxin.

“A few days ago, didn’t you say that nothing would go wrong in this battle?”

Zuoxin’s face was as dead as ash, cold sweat dripped down his face. He thought about it for a long while, until Yinyu was impatient did he open his mouth and speak up, “My Faction’s Saint Dong was killed by the Common People’s Seven Swords this time. This is a huge calamity for my faction 8,000 years later. Before this, no one could have expected that once the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation was completed, that it would become so strong. No one also expected that the Common People’s Seven Sword was as strong as rumors, being able to kill End Realm…”

Before the battle, no one bothered about the Seven Swords that Xi Zi had left.

There was indeed no one that predicted that the Common People’s Seven Swords along with the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation would be such a perfect combination.

Even someone as strong as Taishi was unable to do anything about it.

Yinyu scoffed coldly and then looked towards Zhongxuan, “Before this, Grand Teacher mentioned that if nothing surprising happened in this battle that we would definitely win?”

That Zhongxuan gave a bitter smile, his fame and prestige was pretty much the highest in the entire dynasty.

A few years ago, he had lost his bet with Kong Rui and predicted wrongly about Kong Yao, causing this top commander talent, future pillar to leave Great Shang, and help Great Gan rule the southeast.

This time he still made a wrong prediction and this mistake caused the loss of 300,000 Elite Dao Soldiers whom Great Shang had spent so much effort raising.

“It is my mistake! There should be an amazing divinator who acted to block me from predicting and sensing luck and misfortune. I didn’t predict that there would be this Zong Shou…”

The Divination Dao was something that even End Realm Cultivators couldn’t be fully adept at.

If one peaked at the secrets of the Heavens, then naturally they would despise you. If one walked this path, naturally one was giving up an opportunity to live forever.

Even 9,000 years ago, that person who had left the Destiny talisman in the various Lingyun Sect temples, no matter how talented he was, he was still struggling and was unable to further improve.

This is why although even End Realm Saint Venerables who might be able to peak at the secrets of Heavens and predict the past and future, most of them would try their best to avoid this.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t but they didn’t dare and weren’t willing to!

Actually, before the battle began, he felt that something was up. However, at that time, how would he expect that the nine End Realm Saint Venerables and five God Venerables and one God Artifact would end up defeated?

“Amazing divinator? I have not heard of such a person within the Common People’s Path.”

Yinyu frowned and suddenly thought about a person, “Was it Kong Rui?”

Zhongxuan felt bitter in his mouth and gave a tough nod.

Within the Cloud World, this person was probably the only skilled divinator by Zong Shou’s side.

In just a short few years, who knew that this person’s attainments in divination would improve so swiftly? Unknowingly, he was able to hide things from his divination.

With his prediction, this person didn’t predict that Common People’s Path would definitely win. He was just messing up the future such that one couldn’t read it.

However, even just doing that alone was already really amazing.

His cultivation improvement really felt like the Heavens were aiding him…

Heavens aiding?

Zhongxuan’s heart shook a little, he using the Great Shang country luck to cultivate to help solve calamities. This Kong Rui was the Great Gan Imperial Astronomer and was Zong Shou’s most trusted divinator. He could also do the same.

However, it was impossible to be so quick…

What was the reason?

“That false ruler and incapable lord!”

Yinyu scoffed coldly and smacked the table, causing the table in front of him to nearly collapse.

“Receive my decree! Anyone of the Kong Family will have their positions removed and sent to jail. Anyone below 10 will be sent to the North Desolate Army for them to live on their own. They won’t be pardoned and won’t be allowed to return!”

He hated the Kong Family and he dealt with the matter like that was both to vent that hate and also to punish the Kong Family for attempting to suppress Kong Rui.

He had such a stunning talent but was unable to use him for his own!

There was also that Kong Yao, that so-called descending jinx, inauspicious person. If he had such a strong commander, what would he have to worry about now? She would be strong enough to be a pillar for him!

So what if he faced calamity of blood and war? That would be the disaster for other countries and good fortune for Great Shang.

How annoying! They should be killed!

Gao Ruo was like someone who received a pardon, hurriedly summoning the messenger to write the decree.

Yinyu still felt really furious, however, at this moment, what he felt more was fear. He felt a chill down his spine.

Those 300,000 Dao Soldiers were where his power was at and his greatest trump card to suppress all the aristocrats.

Now with that entire army being wiped out, how would he suppress the situation within his country?

Although the current Central Cloud Continent looked peaceful, there were many people, many sects staring aggressively at the new mines that appeared. Even purposely starting riots because of that.

The few large aristocratic families and those officials who held power all had nefarious intentions, plotting against the throne in the dark.

Great Shang was in huge trouble now, so what should he do?

He felt dizzier and dizzier, his blood was flowing against the current and he felt cold all over.

Zuoxin bowed, “Your Majesty doesn’t need to worry! Although we lost this time, the Confucian Faction Zhu Zi has promised you. You are a wise Ruler but have lost so many troops and generals because of us this time. The Confucian Faction is really grateful and guilty because of that…”

Yinyu’s mood was slightly better and he didn’t fully trust what Zuoxin said.

The Confucian Faction was a huge pillar of Great Shang but he couldn’t let them do whatever they wanted.

If he truly relied on their strength and was held hostage by them, Great Shang wouldn’t be too far away from being wiped out.

Just at this moment, both Yinyu and the few people in the hall raised their heads. They saw a vast golden light sweeping over.

“Today, I will tell all the Confucians in the world that Great Gan Monster King Zong Shou insulted my faction and killed Saint Dong. This person believes in Common People’s Path teachings and worships the devil words. In the 10 years that he was in power, he went against the proper rule and did all sorts of preposterous things, focusing on military and forgetting everything else such that civilians lived uneasily. He also wants to copy the Qin Emperor and burn books and destroy Confucianism. He wants to wipe us out and is our enemy!”

Confucian enemy?

Just as he was feeling shocked, that golden light charged down into his hall.

100,000 feet of words condensed into two feet and floated in front of him.

The words within were different from what the sound mentioned.

“Attack Great Gan?”

Yinyu felt his head swell up and his chest was filled with disgust.

At this time, why would he even attack Great Gan? Even if he wanted to, he had no ability.

Should he just not bother about the chaos within?

Zuoxin looked at the golden words and he was delighted, “This is a great matter. Your Majesty please gather the troops of the various countries under you and personally attack Great Gan!”
