Hongjun Summons the Six Saints of the Primordial World
"Why don't you confess the truth?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"
"My household possesses approximately 8.9 million in gold and silver coins, and about 21,000 dan of grain!"
"Most of it was secretly sent to us by the feudal lords, some came from the imperial treasury, some was obtained by us through selling official positions, and some was plundered from the people."
"There are also some fine jade, pearls, gemstones, animal hides, precious medicinal herbs, and so on."
"The household had approximately five hundred concubines, singers, and dancers, as well as over two thousand slaves and guards."
At this point, he collapsed to the ground, turning into a complete mess.
Even he himself knew that he was doomed.
Ye Xuan was even more furious upon hearing this.
Although he knew Fei Zhong was a corrupt official, he never expected that Fei Zhong's family would have such a huge amount of wealth.
It's almost a fifth of the national treasury.
It could even be said that this was another national treasury, a veritable Heshen of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
"Very good, very good, I never expected this, Fei Zhong. You have truly broadened my horizons. You are even richer than me. All the feudal lords in the world have always been asking me for money, but I never imagined that they would secretly send you money. You are amazing, truly amazing."
Ye Xuan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Someone come here!!!"
Then came a deafening roar that shook the Nine-Chamber Hall, causing them to hum incessantly.
"Exist!!!"
"Drag Fei Zhong away to the execution ground in Chaoge, publicly read aloud his numerous crimes, and behead him as a warning to the world."
"Furthermore, the entire family, including nine generations, will be exterminated. Anyone with Fei Zhong will be beheaded!!!"
Soon, guards with swords dragged the distraught Fei Zhong away.
Not long after, Fei Zhong was beheaded and his head displayed to the public.
The remaining bit of true spirit drifted and floated towards the Jade Void Palace.
Before the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods even officially began, two people had already been listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
Ye Xuan's gaze swept over each of the ministers.
Everyone was trembling with fear.
Clearly, they were taken aback by the Human Emperor.
"Who else has embezzled or accepted bribes? Confess to me, and I may spare your lives."
"Otherwise, if I were to expose them one by one, it would be a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family."
The entire hall remained completely silent, so silent it was almost oppressive.
"Is nobody willing to admit it? You Hun, then tell me, how much wealth do you have?"
Upon hearing the Human Emperor's words, You Hun was instantly terrified.
The Human Emperor has already named him, which means he is doomed.
At this moment, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly and buried his head deeply in the ground.
"Your Majesty, You Hun deserves to die!"
" In Chaoge City, You Hun has nine mansions, each with hundreds of singing girls and dancers, and thousands of slaves."
"The wealth is stored in the southern part of the city, which is furthest from the imperial city. It contains about four million in gold and silver, about ten thousand dan of grain, and about a thousand sets of weapons, armor, and horses."
At this point, he kowtowed several times.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die a thousand deaths. Knowing I cannot escape my fate, I will depart now. I earnestly hope Your Majesty will pardon my You Hun clan."
"Your humble servant is deeply grateful."
Having said that, he knelt on the ground, drew the sword from his waist, and slashed it across his neck.
He committed suicide.
Ye Xuan's emotions also fluctuated.
Yet another traitor who stole the country's wealth.
Although slightly inferior to Fei Zhong, he was still a man whose wealth rivaled that of a nation.
What's more, this guy also has a lot of weapons, armor, and horses.
"You Hun committed suicide, but his crimes are still unforgivable. Guards, confiscate his property, exterminate his entire clan, and punish his nine generations of relatives!"
Ye Xuan felt no sympathy whatsoever for such a traitor who had stolen the country.
Not long after, a You Hun's true spirit also drifted and flew towards the heavens.
He became the third person to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
Since none of you are willing to ask, I will give you some leeway as a final gesture.
"Those who have committed embezzlement and bribery should confess everything to Uncle Bi Gan, and hand over all their unexplained wealth to him. I will spare their lives and let bygones be bygones!"
"If they still insist on hiding it, their entire family will be executed! I will make them wish they were dead!"
"You'd better think this through, and see if you can get away with this!"
"Kneel here until sunset, then you may leave."
Ye Xuan was extremely angry today.
It turns out that corruption and bribery are always a constant topic, no matter the era.
"Wushuang, help me up, I'm a little tired."
Ye Xuan's physical abilities had already reached an extreme level of abnormality.
The spiritual energy from the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood within his body flowed out in streams, causing his physical body to advance by leaps and bounds each day.
Physical strength and both Yin and Yang energies are extremely abundant.
But I couldn't overcome my irritability, depression, and exhaustion.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Wushuang quickly stepped forward and helped Ye Xuan up.
Ye Xuan glanced at the kneeling officials and civil servants before turning and leaving.
With Wushuang's help, Ye Xuan returned to his palace and finally fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
Almost two months after transmigrating, I've maintained my habit of sleeping the whole time.
Just as Ye Xuan was fast asleep...
Within the Purple Cloud Purple Cloud Palace, high above the Primordial World Purple Cloud Palace, a terrifying and formless force suddenly manifested.
This person was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun created the Immortal Dao by himself, and almost all the cultivation traditions in the Primordial World were created by him. He is the guiding light on the path of cultivation.
He was the teacher of the Six Sages of the Primordial World, and no one knew exactly what level he had reached.
Countless years ago, he had already transformed into the Dao and become the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment, this terrifying patriarch, who is without laws or forms, descended upon the Purple Cloud Palace.
The Six Saints of the Primordial World primordial era immediately sensed the arrival of their teacher's will.
The Taishang Laozi, sitting upright on the Wind and Fire Futon in the Eight Scenery Palace, suddenly opened his eyes after sensing his teacher's will.
The endless Taiji Diagram in his eyes was spinning wildly, and after a long time it gradually disappeared, revealing his original eyes.
But there seemed to be endless complexity in his eyes.
At this moment, the Sect Master Tongtian of the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island was wiping the Qingping Sword. Sensing this aura, he flicked his right hand and suddenly looked up.
The teacher is here?
Nuwa lives in the Wa Huang Palace, has just returned from West Kunlun and is currently considering her next move.
Her expression changed drastically the next moment. She looked up at the sky and sensed her teacher's call.
The same applies to the other Saint.
They sensed their teacher's call immediately.
They all traversed endless void and traveled countless miles.
Before long, they all gathered inside the Purple Cloud Palace.
Find your seats and sit down in order.
Taiqing Taishang Laozi.
Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.
The Western Saint Zhunti.
The Western Saint Jieyin.
Sect Master Tongtian of Shangqing.
The Saint Nuwa of Merit.
The six Saint gathered there, but none of them spoke.
Since the ancient teachers finished their sermons, they have never set foot here again.
Now, returning to the Purple Cloud Palace once again, everyone is filled with countless emotions.
In addition, the changes among the various Saint seem to be somewhat subtle.
Taishang Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, together with two Western Saint, forced Sect Master Tongtian to sign the Investiture of the Gods agreement, which brought Sect Master Tongtian's relationship with the four to a critical point.
Nuwa and the Human Emperor Zhunti with Zhunti in the West, destroying the Western Teachings center and releasing the corpse of the Ancestral Dragon. Although the final battle was called off, their relationship deteriorated considerably.
A few days ago, the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun intended to attack the Human Emperor, but was ultimately stopped by the Sect Master Tongtian and Nuwa, and their relationship seemed somewhat awkward.
These numerous changes ultimately caused a rift to develop between the six Saints.
Some clues can be gleaned from the positions of the individuals.
The positions of Taishang Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun are relatively close.
The two Western Saint are naturally closer in rank.
The Sect Master Tongtian of Shangqing and Nuwa seem to be intentionally getting closer.
The aura between the Saint subtly shifted.
However, everyone remained silent and no one spoke.
A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared in the seat at the very top, which had been empty.
