Chapter 173 Sword Punishment Heaven

"Sorry to disturb you in the middle of the night, everyone. I'm deeply frightened."

In the main hall of Jishi Prefecture, the candlelight was bright. Sikong Bai raised his wine cup high and said with a smile.

It was as if the day-time farce had never happened.

"Hmph, the little old man really knows how to act." Sitting below the stage, Yue Chengpeng curled his lips in disdain as he whispered into the ears of the middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man was called Yu Xiao. He was the deputy commander of the fifty thousand Yue army in Heavenly Battle City. He was also a veteran general who had followed Yue Fuyao for more than ten years. He was calm and dignified, so he was sent by Yue Fuyao to bring his son to Linglong Pavilion.

Hearing this, Yu Xiao glared at his Young Master. The meaning was obvious, and he was cautious in his words and deeds.

This was the Linglong Pavilion, and Sikong Bai was sitting right in front of him. If he provoked that immortal, it would not be good.

Although Yue Chengpeng was a nominal subordinate, he was actually a bit afraid of his brother and father. He immediately stopped laughing in embarrassment.

"I'm sure everyone is puzzled. Why did you invite everyone here late at night?" At this time, Zhu Longqi, who was sitting below the stage, stood up. After an afternoon of recuperation, the Crown Prince finally came to his senses. However, the swollen injury on his face was somewhat ridiculous.

Hearing this, the crowd immediately quieted down. They looked around and found that almost all of the sects present were Great Zhou's sects. Giants like Heavenly Battle City, Moon Lake Cave, Heavenspan Sect, and Tiger Head Fort were once again first-rate sects like Flowing Cloud Pavilion and Azure Mist Pavilion. After counting carefully, there were roughly twenty representatives, but they almost included the first-rate Jianghu forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this sort of battle, the things that he wanted to say were naturally not trivial matters.

Therefore, everyone turned their gazes to His Highness the Crown Prince at that time, waiting for his next step.

Zhu Longqi also smiled slightly at that time. Originally, he had a graceful posture, but coupled with the injury on his face, his posture made people unable to help but laugh.

Of course, no matter how funny he thought it was, he had to hold back at this moment. After all, the other party was Zhu Xian's son. With such an identity, few people in Great Zhou could afford to provoke him.

Yue Chengpeng was obviously an exception.

At that moment, he chuckled. The laughter was exceptionally clear and ear-piercing in the silent hall.

Yue Chengpeng was such a carefree person.

If you want to cry, cry. If you want to laugh, laugh.

If you want to drink, get drunk. If you want a girl, pick the best brothel in Xuzhou and pack it for half a month.

There was probably nothing in this world that he didn't dare to say, and there was also no one that he didn't dare to provoke. However, apart from the Great Commander beside him and the old man in Heavenly Battle City who was obsessed with the Dao of the Sword.

The only reason he could do this was because he had a father named Yue Fuyao.

And this father happened to be one of the only Sword Immortals in the world.

Ever since the day Yue Chengpeng was sensible, there had never been a thing that could not be solved by saying, "My father is Yue Fuyao." If there was, then add, "My father's companion brother is called Yan Qianqiu."

Therefore, when the furious Crown Prince Zhu turned his eyes to look at this place and discovered that the owner of the laughter was the Second Ancestor, who was even the Second Ancestor of the Second Ancestor, the Crown Prince could only suppress the fury in his heart and frowned, pretending that he did not hear him.

"To tell you the truth, we have invited everyone here today. There is indeed a matter of great righteousness and wealth that I would like to discuss with you." Zhu Longqi's eyes sank when he said this. "There are ways to seek wealth and danger, so this matter is naturally extremely dangerous. Therefore, before I tell you about this matter, if you don't have such awareness, you can leave first."

Everyone present had their own speculations about what Zhu Longqi had said about righteousness, wealth, and viciousness, but they couldn't make up their minds. The meaning behind Zhu Longqi's words could not be more obvious. He wanted to tie the people to the chariots of the Longevity Division and the Linglong Pavilion, and now was the time for them to decide whether to get on this chariot or not.

This seemingly simple decision involved the rise, fall, and even survival of the sect in the Great Zhou for decades to come.

They had to be careful.

At that time, the main hall of Jishi Prefecture became more and more quiet.

Everyone thought carefully about their gains and losses. Then, a few representatives of three or four sects stood up and turned around to leave, but most of them chose to stay.

Although the marriage between the Linglong Pavilion and the Longevity Division had failed because of Xu Han, looking at the current situation, it was clear that the Linglong Pavilion was still firmly on the side of the Longevity Division.

This kind of cooperation between the two monsters, no matter what, was easier to dominate the situation in Great Zhou. Some birds chose good trees to live on, and so did the sects.

Although there were a few sects that left, most of them, especially large sects like Moon Lake Cave and Tiger Head Fort, chose to stay behind. This could be considered a very good result for Zhu Long.

"Looks like everyone still trusts me, Zhu Mou." At that moment, he smiled faintly. Just as he was about to say the following, he was interrupted by an abrupt voice.

"The one who stayed behind wasn't someone who trusted you. Perhaps he just wanted to hear what you wanted to do." The person who spoke was the young master of Heavenly Battle City, Yue Chengpeng.

Hearing this, Zhu Longqi's expression froze, but he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart. He smiled and looked at Yue Chengpeng, who was playing around, before he said in a deep voice, "Brother Yue, listen carefully."

"Since the Thai Emperor ascended to the throne, I don't think I need to say anything more about the Great Zhou's annual scenery. It can be said that the people are in dire straits and starvation is everywhere."

"The Department of Long Night has made many attempts to relieve the famine. However, droughts and snowstorms always occur year after year. All of these attempts are in vain in the end." At this point, Zhu Longqi's face immediately revealed a painful expression.

Everyone present knew how many people had been embezzled by the Long Night Division during the famine, but none of them dared to break it at this moment.

It was Yue Chengpeng, who was extremely displeased with the Long Night Division, who wanted to say something, but was glared at by Yu Xiao fiercely before he stopped.

"Fortunately, Elder Sikong is thinking of all living things in the world. He went to the Lunar Temple regardless of the dangers and hardships and asked for a divination for the people of Great Zhou." At this moment, Zhu Longqi's words changed as he spoke.

As we all know, the Lunar Temple is the gathering place of all the learned people in the world. Most of the scholars in the world are proud to be able to enter the Lunar Temple. The Lunar Temple's Supreme True Man, who had lived for six hundred years, was even more rumored to be an immortal who knew the past and knew the future.

His divination was naturally enough to arouse the interest of everyone present, and it was precisely because of this that everyone in the hall turned their gazes to the old man on the high platform.

"Oh." Sikong Bai nodded at that time. Long Congyun understood. He clapped his hands and the door to Jishi Prefecture opened. A group of green-clothed disciples walked into the main hall with a brocade pouch in their hands. He respectfully handed the brocade pouch to everyone present.

"This is a divination obtained by a Supreme True Man with sixty years of lifespan. The one in your hands is the rubbings." Sikong Bai 's voice rang out.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They immediately opened the brocade pouch impatiently and looked at the words on the note in the brocade pouch.

Immediately, the large Exquisite Pavilion was completely silent.

It was written on the note with great force.

The emperor murdered his father, which was against the heavens' law.

With the Sword Punishing Heaven, it was a great rebellion.

Holding this sword, a son can kill his father, and a minister can kill a king.
