Rebel Slaying, One Month Later, a Mysterious Treasure! (Da Zhang)
"Is this information true?" Luo King's face clearly showed some shock.
"Yes, I have killed him."
Luo King's expression turned serious. "You mustn't take credit for things casually. If you're found to have taken credit after the fact, it will be a very serious matter."
"I have complete law enforcement records, in triplicate, including the Mirage Pearl, the Echo Conch, the witness testimony of the Assistant Official, and the confirmation from the Judicial Nether God," Zhao Xing said.
Luo King remained silent for a long time.
This news is truly shocking.
Because Luo King's understanding of Zhao Xing was somewhat outdated.
He knew that Zhao Xing had already mastered the first level of the Derivation God Art.
However, he did not know that Zhao Xing was a record breaker. The Derivation God Art condenses seven main souls, but the main souls can also be combined into one. In the first level, the Fate Soul can be divided into 49,999 paths!
Secondly, although he knew that Zhao Xing had an avatar who had gone to the Mystic Heaven Academy branch and the Kunyuan Academy headquarters, and had already mastered top-level techniques.
However, they did not know the extent of Zhao Xing's skill, nor did they know that his clones could also use top-level techniques, or that Li Boqian had taught him the [Kunpeng Transformation] and [Tears Scale Horizon].
In Luo King's view, Zhao Xing was still very inexperienced and there was still a big gap between him and Third Grade expert. Perhaps he could save his life in front of Third Grade.
But as for killing Third Grade? Luo King didn't harbor that illusion.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have only given Zhao Xing the temporary position of "Pinghai Province Five Prefectures Third-Rank Inspector".
The fact that Zhao Xing was allowed to control Third Grade indicates that Luo King believed Zhao Xing was not yet capable of handling matters of a higher rank.
But now he is suddenly told that Zhao Xing killed the Heavenly Xia King.
How could Luo King not be shocked?
"Okay, I understand."
"Keep the original records safe and archive them. I will send someone to collect them later. Also, write a detailed account of the events and submit it to me," King's Way Luo.
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. This was also the enforcement procedure for the patrol envoy.
Even with such great power, one cannot simply kill at will; there must be proper procedures.
"I have another matter to report, Your Highness, please make a decision," Zhao Xing said.
""you say."
"Now that the Heavenly Xia King is dead, may I confiscate his property? If so, what should be done with the stolen goods after the confiscation? Should they be sent to the Tianhe Prefecture's Confiscation Department for safekeeping, or should there be other arrangements?"
"There will be a large number of vacancies in the various offices of the six prefectures. Are you authorized to make temporary appointments?"
In fact, Zhao Xing was very familiar with these procedures, after all, he had been chopped down by Old Liu so many times in his previous life.
But he has only just taken office, so he can't appear too experienced yet.
He should always give Luo King, the big boss, a chance to guide him.
As expected, Luo King immediately said, "You are not qualified to search and confiscate the property of Third Grade rebel king. According to the procedure, only a second-rank inspector is qualified."
"However, special cases should be handled specially. If we wait for me to send someone, it will inevitably slow down your progress."
"Alright, I will send my royal decree through the channels of the Li Fire Dao Academy, granting you special permission to confiscate property and make temporary appointments and dismissals."
"You can transport all the stolen goods back to Tianhe Prefecture first, and then I will send someone to count them."
"Yes." Zhao Xing listened obediently.
In this way, he was using the name of Luo King to confiscate property, and there were no problems with the procedures.
Someone has a question? Then go and argue with Luo King!
Luo King's move was to cover for Zhao Xing.
Luo King's words successfully attracted the attention of Xin King and Anning King.
"Who killed Heavenly Xia King? Was it Bright Moon Prefecture Lord?" Xin King, Liu Yong, couldn't help but ask curiously. "How come I don't remember Bright Moon Prefecture Lord also serving as the Military Realm Inspector?"
Xin King was referring to Bright Moon Prefecture, which is located next to Tianhe Prefecture.
Ye Yukong, the Bright Moon Prefecture Lord, is not the Prefect. He is the Dean of the Bright Moon Military Academy.
However, the older generation, such as Prince Xin Liu Yong and Princess Anning, were used to calling Ye Yukong "Lord of the Bright Moon Palace".
Because the six eastern prefectures of the Heavenly Xia King bordered Bright Moon Prefecture.
Therefore, they both believed that it was Ye Yukong, the Bright Moon Prefecture Lord, who killed the Heavenly Xia King.
This is a reasonable way of thinking, because Ye Yukong is a sword master at the Third Grade perfection, and he became famous many years earlier than Heavenly Xia King.
His self-created Bright Moon Sword Art and Moon Shadow Movement Technique are both top-tier techniques.
"It's not him," Luo King shook his head. "It's Zhao Xing."
"Who?!" Xin King Liu Yong, was taken aback. He thought he had misheard and asked again to confirm. "Is it... is it that Zhao Xing?"
"Don't tell me it's Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning's disciple." Anning King's eyes widened as well.
"Yes, it's him." Luo King nodded. "To be honest, I can't believe it either, but I don't think he would dare lie to me."
"This... this is impossible?!" Xin King was stunned.
His main impression of Zhao Xing was still based on the battle for the quota in the Dragon Court Ancient Land.
At that time, Zhao Xing was only Fifth Grade.
The cultivation of the Derivation God Art and the study of top-level techniques were things that Xin King was unaware of.
But that was only in the thirtieth year of the Jingxin Calendar.
Only five years have passed, and Zhao Xing has actually killed Third Grade?
The Heavenly Xia King is no mere figurehead of Third Grade!
"It was him, it seems that it was him—" Anning King quickly accepted the news.
As a prince appointed by the Imperial Stud Department, he knew more than Xin King, because he was in charge of intelligence.
"What is it? Tell me!" Xin King, Liu Yong, said anxiously.
"It's confidential," Anning King said with a smile. "I can't tell you."
Xin King Liu Yong, was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"I can't believe it's only been five years," Anning King remarked with some emotion. "His growth rate is just too fast."
He'll probably achieve great things there.
"Hmm." Luo King nodded. "He wouldn't say, but I think it must be quite astonishing."
Xin King:
Liu Yong was so frustrated by the two riddle-solving masters that he wanted to grab Luo King and Anning King by the neck and get the answers!
However, when he took office as regent, he was essentially the same as Ling De King, a scapegoat and a mascot.
It was around this time that he gained more real power, but he was still far inferior to Luo King and Anning King.
"You two bastards! If you can't speak, don't play riddles in front of me. Just use telepathy!" Xin King flicked his sleeves and left, cursing.
"Hahaha, getting impatient." Anning King grinned.
Luo King smiled, but there was nothing he could do about it; Xin King's strength and status were lacking.
For example, when Heaven Derivation King took Zhao Xing to the Star Palace to cultivate the Derivation God Art, both he and Anning King had the right to know, but Xin King did not.
They couldn't tell Xin King, because even Heaven Derivation King hadn't told them the details. Clearly, the level of secrecy was so high that even between rulers and kings, it couldn't be easily revealed.
"We need to send someone to Tianhe Prefecture."
"Together, I'll also escort Wang Ling there."
Anning King and Luo King quickly made arrangements.
Above Tianxia County, Zhao Xing shut down the Earth Mirror on the Primal Chaos Warship.
The sky was still black.
But on the ground, flames were already shooting into the sky.
Li Gan, Yao Yuanchun, Zou Yong, Ouyang Zhen led their men to quickly suppress the rebellious generals.
It mainly refers to officials of the Fifth Grade and Fourth Grade ranks.
Because Zhao Xing had already killed a wave of enemies.
The fire and chaos lasted for less than two hours before everything calmed down completely.
At this time, it was not even dawn yet.
The Tianxia King's Residence, including the prefectural city and three garrison counties (military towns), was completely pacified.
"Lord Zhao, General Li requests your presence at the Prince's residence," Li Gan sent a messenger to report.
"Hmm." Zhao Xing quickly led the five warships down.
As for the other warships, they remained on high alert.
Swish~
Zhao Xing's true form appeared at the entrance of the Tianxia King's Residence.
At this moment, Li Gan was waiting outside the palace gate with his personal guards.
"My lord, all 895 rebel soldiers from the Prince's mansion have been killed."
"The family members and servants of the Heavenly Xia King, totaling 5,432 people, have been arrested."
"Were there any casualties among the City Guard Army?"
"Thirteen dead, sixty-six wounded," Li Gan reported. "Your subordinate is incompetent."
"The Prince's mansion is heavily fortified with traps and arrays, so it's not your fault," Zhao Xing said. "When we return and report to the officials in the prefectural city, your City Guard Army will surely have achieved a great feat."
"Thank you, sir." Li Gan, kneeling on one knee, looked at Zhao Xing with eyes full of admiration.
He was just a lowly City Guard Army commander, and he never imagined that one day he would be able to easily break into the mansion of a prince.
This is something he and his brothers in the City Guard Army can brag about for a lifetime.
"More than 5,000 families? How come there are so many?" Zhao Xing looked at the list.
"The rebels have gathered his entire clan in Tianxia County," Li Gan said. "I suspect he has been planning this rebellion for a long time."
"No resistance?"
"Yes, but not many," Li Gan said. "The order to arrest them was given by Lord Yao."
At this moment, Yao Yuanchun also came out of the mansion.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Zhao Xing and explained why he had arrested people but not killed them, "All the sons of the Heavenly Xia King were wiped out, because they all willingly rebelled."
"Of their grandchildren, nearly half were killed, while the remaining half knelt on the ground, holding Dan Shu edicts and begging for their lives."
"The reason there are so many people is mainly because they are great-grandchildren, fourth and fifth generation descendants, and women."
"His people cried out that they were innocent, saying they were coerced by their Old Ancestor, the Heavenly Xia King."
"The decision is left to you, Your Excellency."
Yao Yuanchun and Li Gan dared not kill indiscriminately because these people did not resist and instead took out their Dan Shu edicts and knelt down to surrender.
The decision on what to do is up to Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing handed the list to Li Gan and said with a smile, "Even with the imperial edict, one cannot escape the serious crime of treason. The Heavenly Xia King Dan Shu, and his entire clan should be exterminated."
"He certainly saved us trouble by gathering all three clans together."
"Does that mean, sir, we should kill him now?" Li Gan asked.
"According to procedure, they should be escorted back to the prefectural city, and then a request should be made to the imperial court to issue an order to execute them on a chosen day. However, we don't have that much time to waste right now," Zhao Xing said.
"Brother Yao, please ask the Three Law Gods to witness this. Li Gan, please activate the Mirage Pearl and the Echo Conch to record and archive the event."
"In short, these three clans will be executed first. As for whether the court will execute five or nine clans later, that's up to the Judicial Guard to arrest them."
Why would Zhao Xing have the time to go through all those complicated procedures? In short, the minimum penalty for rebellion is the extermination of three generations of one's family; beheading them is definitely the right thing to do.
For now, we can just go through a simplified process. Luo King's royal decree is on its way, and Old Master Zhao isn't worried about any problems that might arise.
"Yes." Li Gan and Yao Yuanchun quickly ran inside again.
No sooner had the two left than Zou Yong and Ouyang Zhen ran out again.
"My lord, the search of the Prince's residence has been completed, and a rough inventory of the rebel prince's assets has been made."
Zou Yong and Ouyang Zhen had experience in managing finances, so they were able to tally up the stolen goods quite quickly.
"They have all been moved to a separate courtyard within the Prince's residence. Please go and inspect them, sir."
"Mm." Zhao Xing nodded and followed the two to a large villa in the Tianxia King's Residence.
The supplies here are piled up like mountains, the size of ten football fields, and they are already full.
Zou Yong and Ouyang Zhen were also remarkable people.
When Zhao Xing arrived, there was no one there.
Moreover, when Zhao Xing walked in, they stood back to back about a hundred meters behind him.
They don't plan to go unless we call them.
Zhao Xing knew perfectly well what those two were thinking.
He immediately smiled and waved, saying, "Come on over."
Why would Old Master Zhao need to take it so secretly?
"My superior is Luo King, the Grand Inspector of the Military Realm."
"He granted me full authority to handle the confiscation of property."
"The brothers who follow me are all risking their lives to do this job."
"Aside from strategic military supplies and classified documents, which cannot be taken, everyone can come in and take three items."
"No whispering, no checking prices through the Earth Mirror. Whether it's valuable or worthless depends entirely on luck."
"After you've taken everything, load it onto the ship and make an inventory of the stolen goods." Zhao Xing looked at Zou Yong and Ouyang Zhen. "Did you understand my instructions?"
The two men exchanged a glance, then cupped their hands and said, "Yes, we understood."
Zhao Xing flew into the sky and used his Heavenly Eye to scan the stolen goods. This wasn't a rule he set on his own initiative.
Because there are precedents for this in both the Inspection Department and the army.
"There are quite a few good things here." Zhao Xing quickly inspected them. Most of them were pearls, jade, precious jewels, and valuable calligraphy and paintings, intended as rewards for the soldiers below.
Another part consists of miraculous medicines and valuable herbs.
And exquisite weapons, armor, miniature mechanical weapons, and so on.
"There are quite a few valuable items, but none of them are things I urgently need." After looking at them for a while, Zhao Xing lost interest.
For example, the Heavenly Xia King only had one eighth-tier treasure, which was that war chariot.
There are still dozens of sets of Seventh Order weapons and armor, but they are all available for purchase in the Military Realm.
Zhao Xing wouldn't take these kinds of strategic military supplies. Of course, he could requisition them temporarily, but there wasn't anything here that caught his eye right now.
"Rise!"
A gust of wind blew by, and Zhao Xing distributed all the strategic military supplies to one side.
There are basically only items below Seventh Order left on the field.
Many of the items below the Seventh Order are strategic resources and cannot be distributed.
For example, Zhao Xing would not touch anything involving the secrets of the Great Zhou's forging and manufacturing processes, such as sixth-tier top-grade military flying boats or sixth-tier top-grade mechanical arrays.
"Grown ups."
Before long, Zou Yong, Ouyang Zhen, Yao Yuanchun, and Li Gan arrived.
"They're coming in batches, and all the rules have been explained clearly?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes, thank you for your reward, sir." Li Gan, Zou Yong, Ouyang Zhen and the others all bowed.
"Then let's go in." Zhao Xing waved his hand.
A group of people cheered as they entered the large courtyard.
Yao Yuanchun stood still.
"Brother Yao, why don't you go and try your luck?" Zhao Xing asked with a smile.
"No, thank you." Yao Yuanchun shook his head. "I don't need anything."
It wasn't that Yao Yuanchun was aloof, but rather that he genuinely didn't need anything.
The ones he uses now are all top-of-the-line.
Even if a Seventh Order treasure were placed in front of him, Yao Yuanchun would still have to pick and choose.
Seventh Order treasures are basically strategic-level military supplies, and you can only obtain them through designated channels.
Zhao Xing cannot use these as rewards, otherwise he would be harming people.
"Follow the rules, take three items with your eyes closed! No picking and choosing, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Li Gan didn't immediately start choosing, but instead controlled his men.
"No files, no military supplies, and everything else, once you've chosen, get out of here!"
"Remember, this was a gift from Lord Zhao; let's not waste his kindness!"
"Yes!" The group laughed happily.
Where have the City Guard Army ever received such treatment?
Even at the Fifth Grade, their salary wasn't high because they had no official rank and therefore no source of wealth.
Of course, the Fifth Grade in the army is different. To reach the Fifth Grade in the army, one must have at least a fourth or fifth level of honors.
The City Guard Army don't usually risk their lives, while those in the army risk their lives, so their treatment is naturally different.
Now, they're happy even if you just pick any three items.
The treasures here are all top picks for the rebel king.
Zhao Xing and Yao Yuanchun looked down on them and were too lazy to take them; to them, they were all valuable items!
They waited in place for a moment.
After the City Guard Army and Agriculture Official had finished making their selections, they came out.
"Thank you very much, Lord Zhao!"
Everyone who came out bowed to Zhao Xing with their hands clasped in greeting.
"You've all made your choices, right?" Zhao Xing asked with a smile.
"We've made our choice!" the people below responded happily.
"Anyone who feels they didn't choose well?" Zhao Xing asked. "Step forward, let me see who had such bad luck."
Some people were bold enough to step forward because Zhao Xing was easy to talk to.
"Sir, my colleagues said we only took three bottles of fourth-grade pills." A middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance stepped forward, holding three bottles.
"I saw it was called Divinely Blessed Pill, with the word 'divine' on it, so I thought it was something good. Damn it, these alchemists are such liars."
"Boo~" The people around immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha." Zhao Xing laughed too.
Heavenly Xia King has plenty of fourth to sixth tier treasures here, but he chose a low-tier one, which was indeed due to bad luck. "Are there any lucky ones?" Zhao Xing asked again.
This time there were many more responses.
Some say they obtained a high-grade sixth-tier treasure, others say they obtained a top-grade sixth-tier treasure.
"Very good." Zhao Xing then looked at the person who had just stepped forward.
"What's your name?"
"Your Excellency, I am Wang Pingan," the honest-looking middle-aged man replied.
"Alright, Wang Pingan," Zhao Xing said. "Did you hear that? Many people got good stuff. It's okay if you didn't choose well this time; there will be plenty of opportunities like this in the future!"
"There are many rebel kings in Tianhe Prefecture now. Our mission is to eliminate these traitors and confiscate their property!"
"Tell me, do you want to do it or not?"
"Yes!" everyone shouted.
"Kill the thieves, confiscate their property!"
"Kill the thieves, confiscate their property!"
Seeing that his emotions were being stirred up, Zhao Xing raised his fist.
Then everyone immediately fell silent and stared quietly at Zhao Xing.
"I'm giving you time to rest. In half a month, we'll go to conquer the Xinyang Army and confiscate the property of the Xinyang Marquis!"
"Promise!"
Li Gan led the City Guard Army to rest, but Zhao Xing could not stop and began to appoint and dismiss officials in Tianxia County. Yao Yuanchun watched Zhao Xing's main body and clones busy and couldn't help but nod secretly.
"As expected of a military commander, he mobilized the City Guard Army with minimal cost."
The army Li Gan led was composed of a very diverse group, including members of the Patrol Office, the City Guard Army, and the Judicial Guard. Since Zhao Xing had requested that all of them be Fifth Grade officials, the city guards alone couldn't possibly mobilize so many men.
They earn three hundred taels a month, and you're asking them to come out and quell a rebellion? Isn't that risking their lives?
They don't usually do this kind of work; they came out with Zhao Xing because it was an order they had no choice but to accept.
After just one battle, dozens more were killed or wounded; who knows what complaints they might have.
But now, their enthusiasm has been mobilized.
However, Yao Yuanchun still had some questions, so he approached Zhao Xing and asked, "Lord Zhao, may I ask you?"
"Brother Yao, there's no need to be so Guest Qi. Just call me by my name when we're not alone." Zhao Xing still showed special consideration for Yao Yuanchun.
Because this person is very talented, he has the strength to fight against Third Grade early stage person Upper Fourth Rank.
Moreover, Yao Yuanchun's luck is very stable, always fluctuating within the range of Derivation Four and Evolution Five. Even when Slaying Heaven Xia King, he did not fall into Derivation Three.
"What do you want to ask?"
"Our men haven't suffered much damage. Brother Zhao, you just notified the prefectural city to send officials to fill the vacancies, so why do you need to rest for half a month? And you specifically mentioned that you want to attack the Xinyang Army. Isn't this giving the other side time to prepare?"
Zhao Xing smiled and said, "I won't rest for half a month. At the latest, I'll set off with my men the day after tomorrow."
"The army I want to fight first is not the Xinyang Army in the north, but the Puyang Army in the south."
Yao Yuanchun suddenly realized. "Brother Zhao, you said that on purpose."
Zhao Xing nodded. "Divine Speed is of the essence in war; the key is to strike by surprise."
"What we did in Tianxia County cannot be kept secret. It will definitely be found out by those deserters and deserters, and they will spread the news."
"Since that's the case, I might as well say that I want to fight the Xinyang Army."
"The Xinyang Army will definitely be on high alert and on full defensive, while the Puyang Army will let its guard down."
Yao Yuanchun felt that every word Zhao Xing said had profound meaning, and his admiration for Zhao Xing grew even stronger.
Little did he know that Zhao Xing were also out of desperation.
After all, the people he recruited, while individually strong, lacked cohesion as a whole.
Li Gan even struggled to perform well in a level four battle formation.
If he were leading the Divine Might Army, even if their overall strength were one level weaker, their combat power would still be stronger than this team.
The level of training, cooperation, and discipline are not on the same level.
"For now, this is the best we can do. If I could command the Origin Jade, Origin Puppet, and Yuan River Army among the eleven garrisoned forces, that would be a true army," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
These three armies were originally split from the "Tianhe Army".
The Tianhe Army was originally ranked 460th in the Military Realm, which was comparable to the Divine Might Army.
However, in the Battle of Yin You Mountain in the thirty-third year of the Jingxin Calendar, the commander of the Tianhe Army died, along with more than a dozen Fourth Grade assistant generals and captains. In the end, the Tianhe Army had to be divided into three.
However, the Tianhe Army still managed to retain many mid-ranking generals, but without a leader, they had to be downgraded and split up.
"Grandmaster." Zhao Xing returned to the warship and entered the main hall where the Golden Body of Heavenly Yang True Lord was kept. "All done?"
"Yes, please send word back to the county town, and inform Zhang Ping, Wu Xuanying and others to send some officials to reinforce Tianxia County," Zhao Xing said.
"No problem." Heavenly Yang True Lord glanced at it, then suddenly asked, "Grand-disciple, why didn't you bring my Golden Body from Tianxia County?"
"Huh?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. "Grandmaster, do you also have Golden Body here?"
"Yes," Fu Tianyang said. "In the Nineteen Provinces, both within and outside the seas and Grotto-Heaven, there are more than 540,000 prefectures and cities. My grandmaster's Golden Body has about 170,000 of them."
"However, in a place like a county town, there are only Third Grade Golden Body statues, while in a prefectural city there are Second-Rank Golden Body."
So many?
Zhao Xing was unaware of this information.
But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that during this period, the Grandmaster's power in the Yin Realm was at its peak.
Because he was the previous Grand Minister of Agriculture, after his death he went to the Yin Realm, where he became the rightful Grand Shennong God!
Only after the death of this current Grand Minister of Agriculture will his power be transferred to his apprentice Li Boqian.
At that time, the power of the Golden Body in various places will be weakened by several levels.
"Understood, I'll go down right away." Zhao Xing immediately ran down.
Why move it up here?
Since the Heavenly Yang True Lord possesses the body, he doesn't need to pay a price; instead, the power consumed is the divine power of the Golden Body body itself.
Heavenly Yang True Lord has already made two moves, and his Second-Rank Golden Body statue cannot continue to be consumed without cost; it must be replenished.
"The temple of Tianxia County." Zhao Xing took a step and instantly appeared at the county temple below.
"There was no rebellion here at all, and the entrance to the Yin Realm hasn't even been opened."
The Heavenly Xia King raised his own flag and rebelled.
He was a king of a different surname, without even the bloodline of the Ji Surname, and was not granted an official title by the Liang King, so he had no Yin Spirit following him in rebellion.
Of course, although there was no mutiny, there was a period of turmoil.
"Heavenly Xia King knew he couldn't borrow the power of the Yin Spirit, nor could he destroy it, so he sealed the temple with Magic Array." Zhao Xing flew around the temple once.
Without orders, the Yin Spirit cannot stray too far from the temple grounds, nor can they act arbitrarily in the mortal realm.
For large-scale operations to proceed, the Priest must carry the Golden Body along with the priest.
The Heavenly Xia King dared not destroy the temple because the Yin Spirit would retaliate.
Therefore, the only option is to seal it off.
"The level isn't high; brute force will suffice."
Zhao Xing immediately used his Heavenly Thunder Finger to break a large hole in the Magic Array.
They then flew to one of the Divine Temple.
There is also Golden Body of the Heavenly Yang True Lord here.
However, the statue is actually taller than the one in the prefectural city.
He looks younger and has a fiercer demeanor, exuding the domineering aura of a leader of the Time Faction.
"Disciple Zhao Xing, please bring the Golden Body of our master out of the temple," Zhao Xing said, bowing with his hands clasped.
"That bastard Li Boqian." The statue of Heavenly Yang True Lord suddenly came to life. His temperament and expression were very youthful, and his eyebrows were raised, exuding an imposing aura without anger. It was completely different from the face on the ship.
"He wants to protect his students, yet he treats my Golden Body like a disposable object! What a despicable scoundrel!"
Heavenly Yang True Lord cursed angrily.
Zhao Xing didn't dare say a word and could only listen.
The Yin Spirit have a thousand faces, and the personalities, emotions, and temperaments of the different Golden Body they possess are not the same.
This Golden Body statue is a representation of the majesty of the Heavenly Yang True Lord.
"You unfilial son!" Heavenly Yang True Lord scolded him in exasperation. "Boy, when you see Li Boqian in the future, you must relay my words!"
"This is it." Zhao Xing could only nod.
"Hmph!" Heavenly Yang True Lord transformed back into his divine form, thus allowing Zhao Xing to leave.
Zhao Xing carried the statue of the Heavenly Yang True Lord as if he were carrying a furnace, and it was extremely heavy.
Fortunately, his method and physical body were not weak either, otherwise it would have been really difficult for him to carry it.
Upon arriving on the warship, Zhao Xing carried the Third Grade Golden Body into the temple.
"Grandmaster."
Zhao Xing gently placed the second Golden Body on the altar.
"Hahaha, did you get scolded?" Heavenly Yang True Lord's laughter reached Zhao Xing's ears.
"Our grandmaster truly had invaluable words of wisdom to impart to his disciples."
"Haha, you certainly know how to talk."
After a burst of laughter, the Third Grade Golden Body shattered, turning into a beam of Golden Light that disappeared into the Second-Rank Golden Body.
Zhao Xing sensed a change in the Second-Rank Golden Body, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Seeing that Heavenly Yang True Lord had no further instructions, he bowed and withdrew.
Tianhe Prefecture.
"What? The Heavenly Xia King has been beheaded?" Zhang Ping was stunned. "Brother Wu, are you sure?"
"How could it be false if Heavenly Yang True Lord said it himself?" Wu Xuanying said. "Now Zhao Xing has purged all the rebels in Tianxia County. He said that there are many gaps that need to be managed by people from the prefectural city."
"Alright, we'll do it right away—hmm?" Zhang Ping was about to summon the officials to discuss the matter when he saw Golden Light flash in the direction of the main residence.
Zhang Ping and Wu Xuanying exchanged a glance and quickly flew over.
"Boom!"
The gates of the government office opened, and a refined figure, with a bloodstained scripture tucked under his arm, slowly walked out, followed by a group of Ritual Cultivator.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Zhang Ping and Wu Xuanying immediately bowed respectfully.
Clearly, He Zhengchen won the Great Ritual Debate.
This Lord He did not disappoint Heavenly Yang True Lord.
As long as He Zhengchen is the one who comes out in the end, then even if Zhang Ping and Wu Xuanying are dead, there is still a chance to turn the situation around.
"Lord, how are you?" Wu Xuanying went up to him.
"I'm fine." He Zhengchen shook his head. "Yu and Wang are dead, and the rest of the rebels have been executed."
"My lord, the current situation in the city—" Wu Xuanying was about to say something when He Zhengchen raised his hand.
"You don't need to say anything, I already know."
He Zhengchen flew towards the sky above the city and softly chanted. "Forget all the suffering of the world, let all worries dissipate into the void." As he chanted, a great power emanated from He Zhengchen and enveloped the entire city.
The Forget Worry Method.
The Forget Worry Method at this time is different from the ordinary Forget-Worry Grand Formation.
The panic and confusion caused by the rebellion caused officials at all levels to fall silent at this moment.
Their hearts calmed down. Although they still knew that a rebellion had occurred, they were no longer terrified or uneasy.
"The heads of all departments shall promptly resume the functions of the government and deal with the backlog of official business without delay."
He Zhengchen activated "Golden Sound Jade Vibration," which entered everyone's minds.
At this moment, the official functions of Tianhe Prefecture were reinstated.
Little JI
The people in the group also dared to go out of the streets and start their daily activities, but they were still not allowed to leave the city.
After landing, He Zhengchen looked at Zhang and Wu.
"Why is there such a large shortage of mid-ranking officials? Have so many Fifth Grade officials died?"
"My lord, Zhao Xing, the Pinghai Province Five Prefectures Third-Rank Inspector, has dispatched a group of people out of the city to quell the rebellion," Zhang Ping said.
"Inspector Zhao Xing?" He Zhengchen was unaware of this detail. "He dispatched a thousand men to quell the rebellion there?"
"Heavenly Xia King."
"What?!" He Zhengchen's expression changed. "Nonsense! How long has he been gone? Call him back right now!"
"I'm afraid that won't work."
"Is he already dead?" He Zhengchen's expression changed drastically. "Don't you know he has another identity? Why didn't you stop him?!"
He Zhengchen only needed to check the official seal briefly to discover that Zhao Xing Xing's file contained more detailed information.
He knew that Zhao Xing was Liu Tianning's disciple, that he had a relationship with Princess Youruo, and that he was favored by the Mystic Heaven Academy and Kunyuan Academy.
How could Zhang Ping and Wu Xuanying allow Zhao Xing to commit such a suicidal act?
How will he explain this to all parties?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Heavenly Xia King has already been killed by Zhao Xing," Zhang Ping said. "Zhao Xing is safe and sound; this is the latest intelligence."
He Zhengchen's gaze froze, and his pupils dilated.
"My lord, that is indeed the case," Wu Xuanying said. "There is absolutely no mistake."
He Zhengchen suppressed his excitement and dared not say anything more, such as "I already know."
"Tell me in detail what Zhao Xing did."
"Yes."
"The second day of the second lunar month, that day—"
Zhao Xing was exonerated on February 4th after leaving the city.
It took a day to eliminate the middle-ranking generals of the Heavenly Xia King on February 5th.
They attacked Heavenly Xia King, activated the Blazing Fire Grand Formation, and burned for three days and three nights.
The house was searched on the afternoon of February 10th.
On that very day, He Zhengchen also came out.
He personally contacted Zhao Xing to express his full support for Zhao Xing.
A large number of selection officers were dispatched to Tianxia County.
However, He Zhengchen was also very worried about Zhao Xing's safety.
The implication was that Zhao Xing should come back first.
However, at this time, Zhao Xing had already gone to Puyang County.
On February 13th, the Puyang Marquis, along with his 105 personal guards, were all beheaded.
On the same day, Zhao Xing dispatched a massive army of straw men, including ninety-seven Ten Thousand Laws Clone, totaling forty thousand men, to various counties in Puyang County.
More than 43,800 people were killed. Anyone judged as a traitor by the Heaven's Eye Art was executed.
However, many people did not receive the Black Dragon Luck from Liang King, but instead committed heinous and illegal acts simply because of the turmoil.
Zhao Xing's choice was to be strict in everything!
A minor sentence becomes a major sentence, and a major sentence becomes the death penalty!
As a result, more than 150,000 people were crippled by beatings.
More than 40,000 people were executed directly.
The suppression of the blood gall caused the dragon's qi above Lou Yang to vanish without a trace!
Because all the traitors were wiped out!
February 16th evening.
Zhao Xing arrived in Yuhe County.
At this moment, He Zhengchen, in the name of the Prefect, issued orders to the three armies of Origin Puppet, Origin Jade, and Yuan River.
By ordering them to obey Zhao Xing's orders, and with his status as an inspector, Zhao Xing successfully took control of the Yuhe Army, which numbered over 50,000.
There were nine Fourth Grade soldiers and three thousand fifth -Fifth Grade soldiers, totaling 51,000 men, along with military supplies mobilized by Zhao Xing with fifty Primal Chaos Warship.
Zhao Xing marched straight towards Xinyang County.
Because this army had already been corrupted beforehand, out of the 200,000 Xinyang Army, less than 3,000 were innocent!
February 20th.
The entire Xinyang Army was annihilated.
This time, the death toll was all over the place, 200,000 people, and no one escaped Xinyang County.
Because of He Zhengchen's cooperation, the Boundary Marker of Xinyang Prefecture sealed off the entire prefecture, making escape impossible.
Forced into a corner, they had no choice but to take up arms and fight back, because if they didn't, they would be killed by the Xinyang Marquis.
At this point, they can no longer be considered innocent.
In the end, all 200,000 people were killed!
February 23rd.
Zhao Xing led Yuan Jade Army to the location of the fifth garrison to quell the rebellion.
This was the easiest time. When he arrived in Shangdang County Shangdang County, the governor, Qu Xin, actually used Ritual Cultivator's scheme to lure all sixteen generals of the rebel Longyang Army into the city and kill them.
When Zhao Xing arrived, the Longyang rebels were still obediently staying in their camp outside the city, completely unaware of what had happened.
March 5th.
Zhao Xing arrived in Jiangwu County.
This was also the deadliest killing in history.
The suppression of the rebellion put immense pressure on the three rebel groups near Jiangwu County.
In this battle, Zhao Xing led Yuan Jade Army, the arriving Yuan Puppet Army, and 30,000 Yin Netherworld Soldiers and generals to annihilate the three combined rebel forces, totaling 700,000 men.
At this point, of the eleven garrison forces in Tianhe Prefecture, only the last two rebel armies remained.
But they are no longer a force to be reckoned with.
Because He Zhengchen had discovered Zhao Xing's bravery as early as the end of February, he mobilized the City Guard Army of the prefecture, the remaining Netherworld Soldiers and generals of the temple, and the Military Sima Nong of the Transportation Department.
North Wind County is a place where Astral Wind blow all year round.
It is considered one of the more challenging places in Tianhe Prefecture.
It was this harsh environment that forged a powerful army, the "North Wind Army".
"Why, why hasn't the army that Liang King promised to send reinforcements arrived yet?"
"Why, why were you able to kill Heavenly Xia King! You were clearly just a Fourth Grade Agricultural Official!" Martial Marquis of North Wind Yang Dang of the North Wind, his eyes bloodshot, stared intently at Zhao Xing outside the city's Magic Array.
He was unwilling to accept it; he had only just started his rebellion, and in less than a month, his dream had been shattered.
"Sleep well~ Sleep well~"
Only a faint voice answered him. Hidden within the city's Magic Array, Yang Dang, the Martial Marquis of North Wind, still felt that thanks to the past month of slaughter, Zhao Xing's Dream Walking Art was becoming increasingly proficient.
This spell, further supported by the immense number of Fate Soul from the Derivation God Art Technique, was far more powerful than Zhao Xing had anticipated.
In less than fifteen minutes, Yang Dang could no longer hold on.
"Pfft~"
Yang Dang cut off his only remaining leg to stay conscious.
But a quarter of an hour later, he felt a heavy drowsiness again.
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled—."
Yang Dang muttered to himself as he, now just a shell of a body, fell from the sky and fell into a dream.
"Thump~" Even though he fell and blood splattered everywhere, he didn't wake up.
"Huh? How can a Fourth Grade perfect Fate Soul be so resilient?" Zhao Xing realized that even after Yang Dang fell asleep, it still took him a full quarter of an hour to kill him.
"This is truly rare. He's a Fourth Grade martial artist at the peak of his cultivation, yet his soul is almost at the Third Grade!"
"I've killed so many Fourth Grade, and his Fate Soul has not only caught up with his physical body's level, but has even surpassed it by a large margin."
Zhao Xing had a vague feeling that Yang Dang was not simple.
Looking at the panel again, I found that my luck had actually jumped to level seven.
"Have we stumbled upon a treasure?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.
Based on the panel and the spell calculations, he sensed that Yang Dang might really have a secret.
Even for me, it was a stroke of luck.
"Break through the city quickly!"
"After the city fell, Yang Dang property was immediately confiscated."
Zhao Xing got excited and started casting spells without restraint.
At the same time, all the Primal Chaos Warship were ordered to bombard this section of the city wall Magic Array.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Under the saturation attack, the city's Magic Array finally broke!
"Swish swish swish~"
