“But to me, Mr. Kong Rui is the one asking to die!”
Along with the voice, a silver-armored, middle-aged man holding a red long spear stepped forth in the night sky.
The red flames caused the entire city to be lit up like it was day. It also dyed the silver armor on his body red.
He looked majestic and he was 1,000 feet away but his spear intent locked onto Kong Rui. The thick aura suppressed the altar.
“So, you caused the chaos at night to target me!”
Kong Rui was surprised. There were dozens of flames around. It was so as to draw away the attention of Great Gan and Sword Sect experts.
He had been their goal from the start.
However, he wasn’t nervous at all. He thought about it and he still didn’t understand, “It doesn’t seem worth it to do so much, to pay such a high price just for me?”
Dozens of flames seemed simple but with how tight the Great Gan Army defence was, he definitely used a lot of relations and many experts. He had to have sacrificed a huge amount.
Kong Rui was just a small Imperial Astronomer. He was useless to the defense of Jinling City.
Mingri Xuan’s lips curled up, was it the case of the one being too deep in the situation to look around him?
The silver-armored, middle-aged man explained, “How is it not worth it? With Mr Kong Rui, your daughter would definitely think for your safety!”
Kong Rui was stunned. So, it was for Kong Yao. Looking at the situation, he wanted to capture him to hold his daughter hostage.
That was really effective.
With Kong Yao’s personality, she wouldn’t betray Zong Shou. However, if anything happened to him she would be guilty and even kill herself because of it.
His heart was filled with rage but he calmed back down. Instead, he found the whole situation really preposterous.
“Why do you have to do that? What benefits does your Yang Family get for starting a rebellion now? Do you think that if you returned to Great Shang, Yinyu would accept you? You should know their current situation. Our Great Gan hasn’t created any problems for your Yang Family. The battle between Gan and Shang hasn’t ended so don’t you think this is a little risky?”
This person was the Yuening Marquis 2,000 years ago in Great Shang, his name was Yang Sheng and was one of the core members of the Jiangnan Yang Family.
The silver-armored, middle-aged man walked over. The spiritual barrier outside of the altar started to crack.
Although the area near the sky altar had protective formations, it was just in case. In front of Saint Realm experts, it was just a thin piece of paper. It was ripped apart with a touch without using strength at all.
“Create problems? What a never-created problem!”
His face was filled with mocking intent, “Spreading out country land is Great Gan’s strategy! We didn’t snatch it back but we bought it back. Our finances are limited, so we are temporarily delaying the payment. His Majesty is honest and is the Saint Ruler, everyone respects him. How would he lie to you! As for officials, your family members are all corrupted and lousy, don’t take them out to lose face. Officials will be chosen from the masses. With your Yang Family’s prestige, you all can do so easily. As for becoming merchants, that is something we have no control over. Your Yang Family is used to being arrogant and overbearing. Officials and merchants working together is naturally not suitable. You need to have more capable people…”
“Shut up!”
Yang Sheng scoffed coldly and interrupted Kong Rui’s words.
“No matter how well you put it, if this continues our Yang Family will split apart in just a few hundred years! Our death is something that will occur sooner or later. Yuanchen Emperor has the twelve Copper Men, so why does the Yang Family have to wait for death without doing anything?”
Kong Rui was instantly speechless. This person really hit the sweet spot.
Zong Shou’s methods were using a soft knife to cut flesh. Those aristocratic families might be able to take it at the start.
However, a few hundreds years later, they would break apart.
“You can’t answer me?”
Yang Sheng stepped forwards once more and was 100 feet away from the altar.
There was one last layer of spiritual barrier which blocked in front of him.
“Actually was there a need to persuade me? Since we are already fighting, my Yang Family and Great Gan have no more room for peace. If Kong Rui is willing to surrender now and not add trouble, I can promise that unless I am forced to, I won’t harm you.”
Just as they said this, Kong Rui shook his head with a weird expression. He was looking towards the weird cultivator who wore a star crown and a feather robe.
He was thinking about who that person was. Looking at his dressing, he seemed to be a cultivator.
Kong Rui asked, “Do you know who the person in front of me is?”
Before Yang Sheng replied, Kong Rui answered on his own, “This person is called Mingri Xuan, he is an ancient cultivator and his attainments are below only that of Xufu. However, in terms of divination he has been on the top for the past 10,000 years. You probably have heard of him?”
Yang Sheng’s expression turned cold. Mingri Xuan, others might not have known but to him, who was a part of the five large aristocratic families, it was like thunder to the ear.
Was this person really Mingri Xuan and what was he doing here?
Kong Rui smiled, “He wants to join Great Gan to help protect His Majesty as the Grand Teacher. I have agreed to recommend him…”
His smile had no temperature and naturally he wasn’t panicking or anything. It was filled with a mocking intent.
Yang Sheng’s heart jumped, Mingri Xuan? Grand Teacher?
Legend had it that Mingri Xuan was the world’s top divinator.
,000 years ago, he predicted the future and had pretty much never failed before.
Only then did he gain fame and shook the five continents of the Cloud World.
Such a person could naturally sense pros and cons. So what was the reason why he wanted to join Great Gan who was facing both internal and external threats?
Right! Apart from divination, his strength was also amazing! He was pretty much right behind top experts like Xufu and Dragon Shadow!
With him here, then he…
The cultivator wearing the crown turned around with a weird expression.
“Is your Yang Family all dumb?”
A short sentence filled his heart with fear. Not only that, but the surrounding air also seemed to become sticky.
The spiritual energy raged, the energy circulation was pretty much cut off at that moment.
This was the Fate Dao!
Yang Sheng’s pupils constricted. He subconsciously thought back to the words his Uncle used to describe Mingri Xuan’s Fate Dao.
…If one was unlucky, one could even choke to death when drinking water!
At this moment, the Celestial Power in his body was pretty much on the verge of losing control.
The most impossible situation was occuring in his body.
He couldn’t move and could only look on with a stunned expression.
“It really is what you said, asking to die! With His Majesty’s personality, he is going to wipe out this Yang Family?”
Mingri Xuan’s tone was like that majestic and famous aristocratic family didn’t even exist.
“That might not be the case!”
Kong Rui smiled and said, “His Majesty follows the law, especially the ones he set and won’t easily change it. Since they are traitors, no matter what happened to them, there is nothing others can say.”
“Laws? In other words as long as people don’t go against his laws, no matter how they offend him they would be fine?”
Mingri Xuan was deep in thought. Seeing Kong Rui smile and not say anything he knew the answer and instantly laughed.
“Even the ancient Saint Emperors weren’t so magnanimous! No wonder he is the Saint Ruler.”
He sighed, “What a waste, it is just a few days away. You jumped out before the situation was settled. You could have taken it a little slower and asked for more. However, one mistake and your whole family is going to be wiped out. The whole Yang Family is really stupid…”
Yang Sheng was furious when he heard this but he was unable to move. His spiritual sense was unable to control the aura around his body.
Not only his body, his Celestial Power started to conflict and it filled him with pain. It was the same in his soul. His Dao Foundations moved and his Soul Ocean started to shake.
Slowly his seven holes started to bleed.
Kong Rui was shocked and looked towards the person opposite him.
Mingri Xuan was really calm and said, “Do you know what I cultivate is the ancient Measuring Heaven Deciding Fate Technique?”
Seeing Kong Rui nod his head, Mingri Xuan continued, “Testing Fate is what I am good at. So today, on the altar, Great Shang ex Yuening Marquis Yang Cheng will die due to his conflicting foundations!”
The moment he said this, a large ball of blood exploded from his mouth and nose.
Kong Rui was slightly distracted. He knew that Mingri Xuan was one of the top experts in the world, half a step End Realm.
His strength was only below that of End Realm experts.
However, Yang Sheng was also Initial Saint Realm. With 3,000 years as a Saint, he shouldn’t have been weak.
However, in front of Mingri Xuan he wasn’t able to fight back at all!
His words decided his death. Even an End Realm didn’t have such ability.
Was it good or bad for him to draw this person into Great Gan?
“Don’t think too much, the situation pushed me to do that!”
Seemingly seeing what Kong Rui was thinking about, Mingri Xuan explained.
“This person was left with only seven days to live. I just brought forwards his time of death. You also said that summoning rain in Jiangnan might not be going against the Heavens? So I used his life to try, the outcome really is so. My loss of lifespan doesn’t matter…”
Kong Rui’s eyes lit up, “In other words…”
Mingri Xuan nodded his head, “Great Shang will die in seven days so Yang Sheng has to die! Anyway, Yinyu doesn’t have long to live. It just depends on what His Majesty is going to do!”
Yang Sheng listened on. His chest was raging like waves!
Great Shang would die in seven days, so did he? How was that possible?
The Yang Family also had good divinators, however the outcome he predicted was totally different.
At this moment, the Yuanchen Emperor should have been like the sun in the sky!
