In the Tiancang Academy, Lingbo Pool, the sleeping figure slowly opened her eyes. Suddenly, the water in the pool surged, and streams of white light poured out, illuminating the entire academy as bright as day.
Inside the wooden house, the Master looked toward the backyard. His old eyes were still cloudy, without any change.
Just wake up. This woman's talent is rare in the world and she will be an indispensable force in the future.
Half a day later, from the Great Xia oracle, a Dark Dragon Guard appeared, knelt on His Highness, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Miss Mu is awake."
Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor's face was dazzling with white hair and his demonic aura gradually revealed. A hint of tired relief finally appeared on his face. After all, he had lived up to the task entrusted to him by his friends.
"There's no need to send people to keep an eye on you, just step back."
"Yes"
Dark Dragon Guard's figure flashed and disappeared from the hall.
At this moment, the young eunuch outside the palace went to the palace to report, "Your Majesty, Ministry of Justice, please see me."
"Xuan" Xia Ziyi said calmly.
The little eunuch took the order and walked out quickly.
Not long after, Kong Yu walked into the palace, knelt down and saluted, "Kowtow to Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Xia Ziyi asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the spies sent by Ministry of Justice to the Confucian Sect have reported that Udumbara Flower was found among Dragon Garden," Kong Yu said respectfully.
Xia Ziyi was startled, and he stood up with a bang, his eyes were murderous, and he said, "Is the source of the intelligence credible?"
Kong Yu said respectfully, "Believe it or not, this is a hidden stake that Marquis arranged to enter Dragon Garden two years ago. It was not originally planned to be used, because it was found that Minister of Ceremonies and three other important ministers with Confucian backgrounds had entered Shoushan Marquisate the day before Shoushan Marquis's accident. So I took it into consideration and tried to contact this person."
"How many hidden piles like this are there?" Xia Ziyi asked, frowning.
Kong Yu hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully, "Your Majesty, there are basically some important officials in the court, especially several Confucian ministers, most of whom were planted by Marquis back then. However, Marquis warned that these hidden stakes should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary."
Having said this, Kong Yu knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, I am not hiding anything deliberately. However, Marquis once said that as long as your Majesty does not take the initiative to ask about this matter, I will not tell you."
"Ha" Xia Ziyi heard this, and a touch of bitterness flashed through his heart. It turned out that Ning Chen really had never trusted the Confucian sect. It was just because of his kindness that he never did anything too far.
"Find these hidden piles, collect all the things that have been investigated over the years, and report back as soon as possible."
A cold light rose in Xia Ziyi's eyes, and he ordered that the matter has reached this point and cannot be tolerated any longer. These long-hidden terrible hidden dangers in Great Xia must be solved as soon as possible.
"Yes"
Kong Yu respectfully accepted the order and immediately stood up and exited the hall.
After Kong Yu left, Xia Ziyi leaned on the dragon chair, raised his right hand and pressed his brow, the fatigue in his eyes became more intense.
The demonic atmosphere circulated and permeated the emperor's body, and Grand Righteous Qi overflowed, fighting against the surging demonic atmosphere with all his strength.
The Confucian sect Dragon Garden, the three masters of Bing, Yue, and Li looked in the direction of the palace Heavenly Edict Hall, their minds turning, weighing the future trends.
Udumbara Flower unexpectedly appeared in Dragon Garden. It was obvious that someone was blaming the Confucian sect. Regardless of whether Xia Ziyi knew about it or not, they should not be careless. The best way was to take precautions.
"Music Elder, it's time for Great Xia people to see what our Majesty looks like now," Master Bing said.
"How about letting the people go to the palace to ask for orders?" Music Elder said with a smile on his lips.
"Then leave it to Minister of Ceremonies," Master Bing said.
"Yeah" Music Elder nodded in response.
Eternal Night Divine Cult, the second temple, Canfeng walked in, half-knelt down, and respectfully reported an important matter.
"Oh?"
Zong Qianqiu's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he sneered and said, "Since the Confucian sect has taken action, then we have to help anyway. Pluto is reincarnated. Ha, this is a good idea. The Confucian sect is interested."
Rumors like a flood quickly spread among Great Xia, led by Confucianism and secretly fueled by Eternal Night Divine Cult.
Rumors that I don't know where they originated from are becoming more and more unbelievable as they spread, and each sentence is heart-wrenching and frightening.
The current emperor of Great Xia is the reincarnation of Pluto. He killed his father and brother, killed his loyal and good people, and is cruel and immoral. He will eventually lead the entire Great Xia to destruction and eternal destruction.
The people were frightened and spread the word to ten, and the lie eventually became true, making people have no choice but to believe it.
In the Heavenly Edict Hall, under the arrangements of Minister of Ceremonies and several important Confucian ministers, several highly respected old men among the people of the imperial city came to the palace to ask for orders to confirm whether His Majesty was really the reincarnation of Hades as rumored.
The white-haired figure on the dragon chair has a plain appearance. Although it has not changed much, it always gives people a palpitating feeling.
The hearts of the seven old men trembled. It seems that the rumors are true. There is a high probability that His Majesty is the reincarnation of Pluto.
"Mr. Li, Old Man Bai, I will seriously consider the tax reduction you mentioned, please rest assured," Xia Ziyi said in a calm tone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
The seven old men bowed respectfully and immediately retreated under the leadership of the Dragon Guard Army.
Outside the palace, countless people gathered, waiting for the results. When they saw the seven people coming out, they immediately swarmed up.
The seven people looked gloomy, nodded, and said, "The rumors are true."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the words of the seven people were like the last straw, crushing the bottom line in the hearts of the people. The atmosphere of fear and anger spread, and resentment shook the sky.
Years of war have already caused deep depression in the hearts of the people. At this moment, it was as if they had found an outlet and put all the blame on the unfounded reincarnation of Pluto.
Zhiming Marquisate, Xia Xinyu came over, looked at Ning Xi, and asked anxiously, "Isn't he back yet?"
Now that the situation was getting out of control, rumors were spreading faster and faster, and she really didn't know what to do.
"No" Ning Xi shook his head and said worriedly.
There has been no news about her brother since he went to the Four Extremes Realm, and she doesn't know when he will come back.
"Your Majesty's wedding day is getting closer and closer, but the current situation is just that"
Ning Xi didn't say anything further. She had also seen His Majesty's current appearance. It was really not optimistic and worrying.
"I asked sister Consort Luo, and she said that the emperor's heart is firm. As long as nothing happens, these Demonic Qi will not spread too fast. Moreover, the Grand Righteous Qi and Demonic Qi that the emperor cultivates have a mutually reinforcing effect and can help suppress the erosion of Demonic Qi."
As they spoke, the worry on Xia Xinyu's face did not diminish at all. They believed it, but the people did not believe it. The current situation is that Great Xia people no longer trust their emperor. They believed the rumors and believed that the contemporary Xia Emperor was the reincarnation of Pluto.
The rumors were terrifying. They appeared without warning and spread at a shocking speed. In less than half a month, they had spread throughout Great Xia. It was obviously something that had been planned for a long time, and the power of the person behind it was beyond imagination.
Confucianism!
This is the only answer they can think of. Great Xia governs the country with Confucianism, and Confucian disciples and officials are all over the city. Only Confucianism can spread rumors throughout Great Xia in such a short period of time.
At the same time, two strange figures appeared in Great Xia Imperial City, walking step by step on the street. They were Jiang Hua and Jiang Xin who came from the Four Extremes Realm.
"Disappointing Dynasty" Jiang Hua shook his head, then glanced at the young girl beside him, and said, "Let's go, there is nothing to see in a place like this. After paying homage to your master, let's go back."
"Yes"
Jiang Xin nodded, with a hint of disappointment on his face. Great Xia Dynasty seems to be far from what the master said. Such a dynasty may not last long.
The two left and headed north.
The news of the destruction of the Four Extremes Realm and Longevity Palace spread, shocking the world. The terrifying force that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years was razed to the ground in one day. While it shocked people, it also made them feel a little wary.
Not long after, the news of Calamity King's death in battle also spread. What no one would have believed originally became unquestionable because of the Longevity Palace's destruction.
If Calamity King was not dead, he must have rushed back. How could he not show up yet?
Four Extremes Realm was in trouble, and the four major dynasties and many major factions began to doubt whether it was right or wrong to obey Four Extremes Sacred Lands's dispatch and send troops to the Divine Continent.
Even Calamity King has fallen, so how many of the troops they sent to the Divine Continent can come back.
The four major dynasties and many major factions are not fools. Nowadays, everyone knows the ambition of Four Extremes Realm Lord. The reason why they obey is that they are afraid of the power of the Holy Land. On the other hand, they naturally hope to get the benefits they want through invasion.
However, the current situation does not seem to be as smooth as expected. They can tolerate the flames of war igniting in the Divine Continent land, but they will never allow the flames of war to come back.
In the ancient temple, Golden Staff National Master has been recovering from his injuries for nearly a month. He was seriously injured in the previous battle. Thanks to the three Moonlight Herb plants that Ning Chen found, his injuries were stabilized.
In the past month, Ning Chen has become even busier. He goes out every one or two days. Every time he goes out, he only comes back after four or five days. When he comes back, he is dusty and has some elixirs in his hands.
Golden Staff National Master saw it in his eyes, but didn't say anything. He couldn't trust this kid just because of this small favor.
Regarding Phoenix Blood, he still felt something was wrong and wanted to continue to observe before making a judgment.
Ning Chen sees what Golden Staff National Master is thinking, but you still doubt yours. I gave it to you and brought the elixir back on time.
Human beings are not grass and trees, and cannot be immune to the influence of external objects. Golden Staff National Master himself did not notice that his attitude had changed from being ready to turn against him after his injury was healed, to waiting for a while before talking.
Within the territory of the Lihuo Dynasty, the Hulei Dynasty army marched straight in, and the war began. Even though people from the Holy Land came out to warn several times, Hulei Emperor persisted, unmoved, and wanted to seek justice.
Lihuo Dynasty struggled to resist, but faced Hulei Dynasty's powerful offensive, they were still retreating, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.
Hulei Dynasty showed the tyrannical strength of the true strongest among the four dynasties. Under the leadership of Duke Qinghua, the 300,000-strong army was overwhelming. In just one month, it had conquered the eleven cities of the Lihuo Dynasty.
The three words Duke Qinghua quickly spread throughout the Four Extremes Realm, attracting the attention of many people.
