Chapter 1179: Buhui’s Final Words

He knew roughly where Xiuguan went. The matter concerned Xi Zi and the chances of him returning now was really small.
However, it wasn’t totally impossible.
Lingchen had a weird expression, “The letter actually explained. It has nothing to do with Xiuguan and it just said that Zong Shou has the ability to control the twelve Copper Men.”
The moment he said this, the room was silent once more. Everyone exchanged glances with one another, their eyes filled with shock.
“Control the twelve Copper Men? It was said that Yinyu swallowed the Qin Emperor’s true spirit and is the master of the twelve Copper Men. How is he going to steal it over?”
Sikong Fo asked curiously, “However, if Zong Shou really is able to, then Xiuguan’s return is probably a smoke bomb…”
Common People’s Path knew that the twelve Copper Men existed but was still willing to attack the Imperial City along with Zong Shou. The Sword Sect was definitely not the only confused party now.
However, if they had Xiuguan too, then they wouldn’t be that surprised anymore.
“So, how should we reply?”
“We can’t easily reject. The risk is also too large to agree just like that. After all, this concerns our rise and fall and we have to be careful…”
The room was in hot discussion. Lingchen was also hesitant. It was really tough for him to come to a decision like that.
One wrong judgement and the entire Sword Sect might be in danger of collapsing.
It was best he headed to Common People’s Vast Habitat to question Wei Xu and Zong Shou.
Just at this moment a clear voice spread out from the outside, “There is no need to discuss, just directly reply to them that we will help them!”
Their bodies shook as they looked outside the gate, only to see a white robe sword holding cultivator walk in.
The few Saint Realm Venerables present all had a serious expression on their faces.
“Greetings Sect Head!”
The person in front of them was the Sword Sect Sect Head. The leader of the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat and the seven factions of the Sword Sect. He led nearly 300,000 cultivators.
Lingchen bowed and then asked, “Sect Head said to go all out to help them, is it?”
“Naturally, we will use the Spirit Floating Sword Formation!”
The white shirt sword soldier spoke up without any hesitation at all.
Jian Tongming and Sikong Fo were all stunned. The sword formation actually had the words Heaven Extinction Earth Destruction. It was the Heaven Extinction Earth Destruction Spirit Sword Formation.
It was the last trump card the Sword Sect had apart from End Realm experts. It wasn’t much weaker than the Common Life Sword Formation.
With the Sword Sect legacy god weapon as a core, it needed 1,000 Celestial Realm cultivators as the foundations and six Saint Realm experts to support.
It was one of the methods they had to counter End Realm experts…
Seemingly sensing that Jian Tongming and the others were confused, the white swordsman said, “Before the Qin Emperor died, he crafted a Country Protecting Seal to replace the Heming Seal as the artifact. Legend has it that it was the true core of the twelve Copper Men. However, very few people have heard of it. I think it fell into Zong Shou’s hands!”
He explained, “Apart from that the Ancestor has said that the Dragon Swallowing Situation is not over. The Overlord appeared, dragon swallowing 10,000 miles, it is the most auspicious sign…”
When he heard this, Jian Tongming’s expression changed.
Ancestor? Was it Cibei Taoist Lord?
At this moment, he stopped doubting anymore. One of the original veins of divination came from Cibei Taoist Lord.
Lingchen’s eyes were filled with excitement. Then, he sighed.
If the Ruler is furious, blood will flow 1,000 miles…
If Zong Shou really had that seal…
Then, be it Yinyu or Li Biexue, they were both dead.
He burst out laughing. They knew the situation but on the side of the Imperial City they didn’t.
Speaking of which, if Sword Sect agreed, those people might think that they were stupid.
Forget it, a few days more and they will find out…
※※※※
At the same time, Zuoxin stood behind the Imperial City walls.
Beneath him was one of the three gates of the Imperial City, the Xuanhua Gate, the most important gate to the city.
The 999-foot gate was flooded with people and horses, an endless stream of them.
Different from before, a head was hung on the city walls.
The blood was already dry and the sky was white. After spices and ash were brushed onto it, it showed no signs of decomposing and was kept perfectly intact. One could even recognize the person as Jin Buhui.
Pretty much everyone that entered the city would look up either curiously, in surprise or in rage.
Some would scoff coldly while some would spit at it and then curse out.
“Traitor!”
“His Majesty is merciful and only beheaded him. If it was me I would buy his meat to eat, to vent my hate!”
“A traitor! A few years ago, this person sent out news to the Gan Emperor which was why we lost at God Falling Plains! He betrayed his country…”
“That is true. If not, with how heroic his Majesty is how would he lose to Great Gan?”
“Recently, the various lands have been adding taxes, so it is so tough to survive. However, speaking of which, the cause is still that defeat. It is all because of him!”
“He really deserves to die! However, I also heard that the Great Gan Emperor is a Saint Ruler. This Jin Buhui is his sworn brother and to be a friend of the Saint Ruler how can his morals be so bad?”
“Saint Ruler is Saint Ruler, he is he. As a Great Shang minister he has private relationships with the enemy country Ruler, doesn’t he deserve to die?”
There were some others who didn’t bother about the Imperial City situation at all.
“I heard that after Jin Buhui was killed he struggled for a full day before he died. He dragged half of his body, using his blood to write 3,400 “Amusing and pitiful”. In the end, his hands and fingers were chopped off and then he stopped.”
“He just became insane before he died! Why didn’t he write that he was innocent? Maybe he could gain some sympathy!”
“Actually, he isn’t totally dead. The spirit masters trapped his soul in the head to make him personally witness the death of Great Shang.”
Zuoxin listened on quietly. After a while, he rubbed his moustache and laughed.
“It seems like fairness is in the hearts of the people, you are right…”
He looked like he was talking to the people behind him but everyone knew that from start to finish he was talking to the head on the wall.
Jin Buhui’s head didn’t react. Like a normal dead corpse, his spiritual sense was unable to cause any spiritual fluctuations at all.
Normal people weren’t able to sense what he was saying but Zuoxin and the few spirit masters could.
Someone said, “This idiot said that we naturally can control what the people say and cheat them. However, no matter what, in a few years the history books will record the truth! Our deeds will remain for 10,000 years for everyone alive to see…”
“Remain for 10,000 years? You are really looking forward to the Great Gan Emperor wiping us out and clearing your name, right?”
Zuoxin shook his head. He was really calm and instead looked like he was really heart pained.
“You still don’t know how to repent. I wanted to ask for forgiveness from His Majesty but there is no point!”
He said with melancholy, “The things you mentioned might make sense but it isn’t the right time! You must know that ruling a country is like cooking, so how can you do whatever you want? We are on the verge of falling and if we cause too much commotion it would only cause the building to collapse in advance!”
The spirit master half closed his eyes to listen on. A moment later, he controlled his tone and said.
“Since you said that ruling is like cooking, then starting a war, sending thirty million to attack Great Gan is the right thing to do? He is blinded and once to gain credit. Great Shang is corrupted, can this be changed without removing the corrupt? If we don’t remove them they will continue to cause problems. Can you hope for the entire dynasty of idiots to rule well! Great Shang will die because Yuanchen agreed to compromise. Just one step and the country is wiped out, so why not try?”
Zuoxin’s face turned green from rage, “His Majesty is wise and is about to unify the Cloud World so what are you saying? Before the battle of the south he wanted to remove outside threat before settling the internal problems. Today, we are cleaning out the corrupt and removing power from the aristocratic families. No matter what you are still unhappy right? His Majesty has his wise plan, so you don’t have to worry for him! You really are filled with grievances, that is true.”
He laughed coldly, “Do you know that a day ago the Great Gan Ruler that you have been anticipating has told the world that he would rush over in four days to take down His Majesty’s head and carry your corpse back. Your brother really is loyal.”
The moment these words were spoken, there was an intense spiritual energy movement within the head.
There seemed to be like tears flowing down the dry eyes.
That spirit master explained after a long while, “He said that Zong Shou isn’t here for him but for the billions of Great Gan people, for the lives of them which is why he took the risk, that he is much stronger than His Majesty.”
When he said that, the spirit master was covered in cold sweat. Some words he really didn’t dare to say.
“He also said that Zong Shou is definitely well prepared and has seventy percent confidence. If the Great Shang Emperor is smart, he should know that the twelve Copper Men is not enough unless we have enough Saint Realm experts. Although he has the Qin Emperor true soul, he needs to recruit the Mohist Faction cultivators to totally control it. He should join hands with the four aristocratic families and chase away Wushang Yuan Demon. He needs the Taoist and Confucian Factions to protect him. If not, he will witness the death of Great Shang here in four days…”
Zuoxin was stunned. He knew that Jin Buhui wouldn’t say anything good but the last sentence still surprised him.
A moment later, he scoffed and waved his sleeves, “In four days, His Majesty will personally hang Zong Shou’s head alongside you! There is no use talking so much. You can torture him now!”
Based on the decree that the Yuanchen Emperor sent, Jin Buhui’s soul could be left but every seven days he would be tortured.
