I Won't Just Kill Prince Ning; I'll Reduce Him to Ashes

The ancient people of this world are really strange.

He has a habit of stabbing himself with a dagger at the drop of a hat.

It might be a custom.

Gao Yunyi didn't understand, but he respected.

However, after Lu Jianxing apologized by harming himself, Gao Yunyi's anger gradually subsided.

He is actually a very generous person.

The idea that he's petty is just a misunderstanding.

He's a righteous cultivator from the Righteous Sect; how could he possibly kill people so easily?

Why are there so many homeless people here?

Gao Yunyi asked.

Seeing that the Immortal didn't seem to intend to continue blaming them, the three of them breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Lu Jianxing was terribly pale due to his severe injuries, and seemed to be barely clinging to life, having long since lost the strength to speak.

As Jin Yichuan wiped away his tears, he took off his shirt, tore it into strips, and used them to bandage his older brother's wounds.

So only Shen Lian was left to answer Gao Yunyi's question.

"Reporting to the Immortal, Prince Ning has rebelled, His Majesty is furious, dispatching Her Eldest Princess to lead troops to quell the rebellion."

"To resist the imperial army, Prince Ning plundered grain and equipment everywhere, and conscripted people to serve as laborers. Nine out of ten houses in the area surrounding Zhenning Prefecture were empty, and the people were living in misery. These people had all become homeless refugees to escape the ravages of war."

After hearing Shen Lian's answer, Gao Yunyi fell silent for a moment.

Prince Ning?

That name sounds familiar.

That idiot from Heyang County who wanted to recruit me claims to be the heir of the Prince Ning's Heir, right?

So,

Prince Ning was also partly responsible for County Magistrate Zhang's death.

If you don't cut the weeds at the root,

Spring breeze blows and it grows again.

Gao Yunyi is not a petty person.

He is doing this to rid the people of a scourge and to act on behalf of Heaven.

"What is this Prince Ning's name?"

Gao Yunyi asked again, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Xiao Yuanheng, the Xiao Yuanheng of Prince Ning, is the fourth son of the current His Majesty and a prince stationed on the border. At this time, the imperial army is marching north and besieging Zhenning City."

"With Her Highness the Eldest Princess personally overseeing the central command, I believe it won't be long before the imperial army breaks through Zhenning City, captures Prince Ning alive, and escorts him to the Capital for His Majesty."

Shen Lian quickly answered.

Upon hearing this,

Gao Yunyi narrowed his eyes slightly.

How could I allow others to covet my prey?

Capture alive?

Should he be escorted to the Capital and handed over to his father for judgment?

Joke.

Will a father die if he punishes his own son?

The answer is obviously no.

But he will,

He not only wanted this Prince Ning dead,

We must ensure that his body is completely destroyed, reduced to ashes.

Gao Yunyi slowly raised his right hand.

A purple light swirled around the sword's point.

In an instant,

A terrifying aura erupted from him.

The violent shockwave whipped up sand and stones, and dust swirled around.

The wind even caused the three Pacification Investigation Office kneeling on the ground to stagger and fall.

The three were terrified.

They thought the Immortals were going to attack them.

I was immediately terrified, my heart pounding with fear, my soul nearly leaving my body.

They wanted to beg for mercy.

The wind and sand were too strong, and the dust was too dense, making it impossible for the three of them to open their eyes or mouths.

Finally, after a long and difficult wait, the sandstorm subsided somewhat.

The three of them could no longer utter the words of pleading.

Their eyes were wide open like copper bells, and their mouths were so open they could fit a goose egg.

Countless rays of purple light converged wildly from the void behind the Immortal, while countless strands of lightning and arcs of electricity danced and darted wildly within the purple light.

That was an indescribable, shocking scene.

As members of the Pacification Investigation Office, the three of them knew by heart the places where the Immortal had appeared and the things he had done.

No matter how many times they read the secret documents, none of them were as shocked as seeing it with their own eyes now.

The purple light continuously devoured the surrounding sunlight, making this area seem much dimmer than other places.

It felt like being in a purple fairyland.

Keep in mind that this was at noon, under the blazing sun.

The purple light was frantically condensing and rapidly taking shape.

Then, to the astonishment of the three Pacification Investigation Office,

It transformed into a Purple Qi Divine Sword that was ten zhang tall and one zhang wide.

The moment the Purple Qi Divine Sword took shape

A terrifying Sword Intent swept in all directions, and a vast pressure permeated the heavens and earth.

The three Pacification Investigation Office supported each other, sitting slumped on the ground like wooden chickens, feeling the overwhelming power and sharp killing intent emanating from the towering giant sword. They were so frightened that they trembled all over and their souls almost left their bodies.

Oh my god!!

The three of them were nothing more than lowly pawns in the Pacification Investigation Office.

Lowly in rank and status, with meager salary.

What merit or ability did they possess to deserve such earth-shattering Immortal Method from the Immortals to kill them?

To be able to die under such heaven-reaching and earth-shattering Immortal Method,

They did not feel fear or apprehension.

On the contrary, I felt incredibly honored.

"Big brother."

"Second brother."

"Big brother."

"Third brother."

"Second Brother."

"Third Brother."

"Second Brother."

"Younger brother."

"..."

"Wait, wait... this is a bit confusing, let me sort it out first."

Jin Yichuan patted his head, feeling dizzy, like a pot of mixed stew.

Lu Jianxing, his face deathly pale, coughed:

"Ahem... Stop filming. I'm not very bright to begin with, filming me will only make me look dumber."

"My two brothers, I, Lu, am so grateful to have made you two such good brothers in my life. My life has been truly worthwhile."

"We've shared life and death, honor and disgrace; as brothers, how wonderful! Eldest brother, third brother, we'll meet again in the next life."

Shen Lian's eyes were slightly red, and he spoke in a bold tone.

"Me... me... me too."

This is the voice of the third brother, Jin Yichuan.

"In the next life, the three of us will still be brothers."

"Good."

It's a deal.

Then the three of them buried their heads and hugged each other again.

Once again, a touching drama of deep brotherhood and tender emotions unfolded.

Gao Yunyi: "..."

Rumble--

The fully condensed purple qi sword resembled a launched missile.

Rising from the ground

Soaring into the heavens.

The purple light, like a blazing sun, dyed the entire sky purple.

The refugees who were queuing up in an orderly fashion to drink the "fairy water" all stopped what they were doing.

After the initial chaos, they suddenly realized what was happening.

This is divine water bestowed by Immortals. To fight over or plunder it will anger the Immortals and bring down divine punishment.

They feared dying of thirst, hunger, or exhaustion, but they feared even more being rejected by the Immortals and Gods and immortals, unable to be reincarnated, and never being reborn.

And so, a stable order was inexplicably created.

At this moment, the refugees all looked up at the magnificent spectacle in the sky, standing motionless like clay or wooden statues.

A little girl sat beside her grandmother in the crowd, tightly holding her grandmother's long-cold hand.

With its little head raised and its big eyes wide open,

Looking at the sky that resembled a blue shooting star, I immediately thought of that indescribably beautiful face.

They all say that the older brother is a god.

A deity saved her.

Grandma once told her:

If you see a shooting star, you must make a wish.

Because wishes made upon shooting stars are especially effective.

She now has two wishes,

One reason is to keep Grandma awake. She's not hungry or thirsty now, and she has plenty of energy, so she can stay with Grandma and keep walking.

One is the chance to see that older brother called the Immortal again.

Tell him in person.

Thank you,

They saved me.
