Gongsun Shi’s words made the two from the Murong family very unhappy.
They didn’t know if Gongsun Shi was trying to shirk responsibility, but it was
obvious that he didn’t intend to interfere in this matter.
Murong Qiu looked at Gongsun Shi and gritted his teeth. “Then, Saint Gongsun,
our country is currently in turmoil. Can I request to return to the country?”
Gongsun Shi thought for a moment and said, “If you want to return to the
country, it’s not impossible. It’s just that your scope of activity can only be
within the Yan Country! ”
It was clear that this was Gongsun Shi trying to prevent the battle from
escalating.
Furthermore, the situation between the human and demons was relatively
stable currently.
It was not realistic to keep these here forever. After all, all their family
businesses in the human world still had to go on. The Murong family could be
considered lucky this time that Emperor Yan managed to escape. If they were
unlucky.„
Perhaps it would be a calamity of country extermination.
It was not a long-term solution to restrict them from their territories and from
internal fighting.
“Alright! Thank you, Saint!”
After they replied, Emperor Yan and Murong Qiu left.
Gongsun Shi frowned slightly. This matter sounded like a hot potato.
What would the others think once Murong Qiu left?
As once this news spread, there were also who came to
request to return to their territories.
During this period of time, it was not like there were no conflicts that
within the human world.
Humans were like this. There would always be conflicts of interest and
contradictions.
Especially now that the external conflict had stabilized, they started to think
about their own interests once again.
Since Gongsun Shi had sent the Heaven Rank ex1Rrts of Yan Country back,
there was no way he could restrict and force the rest to continue staying either.
Of course, it was impossible to let all of them go.
In the end, the conclusion was that each family would choose one person to
return back to the human world.
Conflicts were restricted to only within the country.
However, just as they were discussing.
In the capital of Chu.
Chu He led Chen Taiyang to walk into the capital, before finding out the
location of Su Wen’s residence.
Chu He went forward and knocked on the door.
The gatekeeper opened the door glancing suspiciously at Chu He.
He sternly spoke out, “Who are you? Why have you come to the Nanli King’s
residence?”
Chu He knew that Su Wen was not around, so he naturally smiled and replied,
“I’m here to look for Brother Zhao!”
“Commander Zhao Jin?• The guard asked curiously, ‘my-hy haven’t I seen you
before?”
“The name’s Chu He, just tell him and he’ll know.”
The guard nodded and said, •Then wait a moment!”
Bang!
After the door was closed, Chen Taiyang frowned. “They have quite a lot of
rules here.”
Chu He smiled and said, “Of course. This is the Nanli Kings residence. There
are naturally rules!”
After a while, the door opened and Zhao Jin walked out. He said happily, “Chu
He, it’s really you.” As he spoke, his brows raised!
“Heaven Rank?”
Chu He nodded.
“Good lad, you’ve got it. I haven’t seen you for a few years, but you almost
caught up to me already!”
Zhao Jin said smugly.
He was now a 2nd Grade Heaven Rank cultivator.
It couldn’t be helped. There were too many Giant Strength Rats sent back to the
residence, to the point that they were overflowing in them.
Thus, Chu He’s cultivation level was naturally lower than his.
Chu He immediately reacted when he heard Zhao Jin’s words. “Brother Jin,
you’ve broken through to the Heaven Rank?” If Zhao Jin hadn’t broken through,
it would be impossible to tell his cultivation level.
Zhao Jin smiled and nodded.
Chu He was shocked. He muttered to himself, “How is this possible?”
In his impression, Zhao Jin’s cultivation technique was definitely not a Heaven
Rank cultivation technique. Moreover, there was an intrinsic difference
between his mentality and that of an expert.
How could he have entered the Heaven Rank with such conditions?
Even if he were to switch to a Heaven Rank cultivation technique, his talent
wouldn’t be too good at this age. How could he break through to Heaven Rank?
This was a miracle!
Seeing his surprise, Zhao Jin laughed smugly. “How is that impossible? Young
master has many methods. Don’t you know?”
Chu He smiled and said, “Impressive, impressive. Brother Jin is still
impressive!•
At this moment, Zhao Jin saw Chen Taiyang behind him!
Chen Taiyang was very satisfied with how Chu He had called her.
However, what shocked Chen Taiyang was that even the guard from Su Wen’s
residence was actually at the Heaven Rank!
She hurriedly greeted Zhao Jin-
Zhao Jin also had a look of surprise on his face. •you, a blockhead, actually have
a wife? That’s incredible. Then what do you mean by returning this time? Are
you going to take up a position in the residence?-
Zhao Jin smiled, •Alright, lets go in and report to Madam. Right now, the little
madam has the final say in the residence!”
Zhao Jin was afraid that he didnt know, so he explained.
After all, Wu Muyu and Chu He still knew each other.
During this time when Su Wen, Yan Luoying, and Ning Shuang were not
around, Wu Muyu naturally had her ego rise through the roof. This was
because other than Xie Yiyi, no one else in the family was interested in
competing with her.
Furthermore, before Yan Luoying left, she asked Wu Muyu to manage the
This time, she could naturally take the lead.
In the end, Zhao Iin was someone who had followed decorum. He didn’t say
that he would promise Chu He anything-
Although Chu He was Su Wen ‘s guard previously , he had to inform Wu Muyu
about his re-entry. If Wu Muyu really didn’t allow him to enter, he had to
follow her orders first.
Zhao Jin entered the inner residence with the maidservant to report before
accompanying Chu He and Chen Taiyang in the living room.
Not long after , Wu Muyu came out-
In the past two years, she had grown a lot and her temperament had become
She really had the attitude of a matriarch right now.
Seeing him enter, Zhao Jin stood up and bowed. Chu He also hurriedly stood up
and followed suit.
Although Chen Taiyang was not too happy about this, she didn’t dare to act
rashly in the face of two Heaven Rank experts.
After Chu He introduced Zhao Taiyang, he said, “l came back this time to
continue working for Young Master!”
Wu Muyu put on airs as she said softly, “What are you talking about? You’re
from the residence, so there’s no need to be so formal.. ”
Wu Muyu then sized up Chen ‘I’aiyang before saying, “Since you’re back, it’s a
good thing. However, if you’re about to get married, it’s not a good thing to live
in the residence. How about this? I’ll give you 100,000 taels of silver to go out
and buy a residence. Don’t lose the face of the people from the Nanli King
Residence. When the King returns, then we’ll discuss in detail what position to
give you!”
As she spoke, she just took out a banknote and handed it over.
Chu He didn’t stand on ceremony as he stepped forward to take it.
By the side, Chen Taiyang’s jaw dropped.
100,000 taels of silver was given just like that?
As Chu He had said, the Su Residence really didn’t lack money.
Following that, Chu He got a residence nearby to move in.
However, there were currently undercurrents surging in the Great Chu Capital
at this moment.
On this day, Chu He was chatting with Zhao Jin in the Southern Li King
Residence uhen suddenly a roar was heard, “You actually dare to plot against
Her Majesty!”
Everyone was stunned when this shout rang out.
Zhao Jin looked at Chu He and instructed in a deep voice, “Watch the residence!
I’ll go to the palace!”
Zhao Jin naturally Imew that nothing could happen to the palace at this time!
Not to mention anything else, there was still Su Wen’s bloodline, Xiang Yan!
In the palace, Xiang Feiyan was hugging Xiang Yam In front of her was Xiang
Sheng, as well as three Heaven Ranked experts!
However, these people were all only at the 1st Grade Heaven Rank
Obviously, they had just broken through.
Xiang Shengs face was filled with madness as he looked at Xiang Feiyan and
said in a deep voice, “Mother, if you 1<11 that bastard and pass the throne to me,
I will spare your life!”
Xiang Feiyan looked at Xiang Sheng as she narrowed her eyes.
She had never imagined that Xiang Sheng would gather so many Heaven Rank
experts to plot a rebellion.
In reality, Xiang Sheng was not the one who had gathered the Heaven Ranks,
but rather those old fellows had sought him out first.
This was the result of the reform
During this period of time, the entire Chu Country implemented a progressive
tax system. Under the pressure of the Royal Authority, no one could resist.
However, as the trade between the two worlds unfolded..
Some of the aristocratic families managed to break through to the Heaven
Rank, so they began to scheme and plot.
The first to their ideas was naturally to rebel. The source of this policy was
Emperor Xiang Feiyan, thus they wished to change the ruler!
Why? Because they were clearly aware that the competition betvveen the nvo
realms was stable. If they killed Xiang Feiyan, then the Royal Familys ancestor
and Su Wen might return.
What would happen if these tvvo returned?
They did not Imow how powerful Su Wen was. In their eyes, the main problem
was the Xiang Familys Old Ancestor.
Thus, as long as he supported someone who could make the Xiang Familys Old
Ancestor accept as a successor, it would be enough.
Xiang Sheng had undoubtedly become a very good choice. Or rather, their only
This was because the other royal bloodlines had already been completely wiped
out by Xiang Feiyan.
As for Xiang Yan, his reputation was stellar. Even they could tell that Xiang
Feiyan was more inclined to let him succeed to the throne.
Otherwise, she would not have promoted Xiang Yan’s uniqueness like this.
In that case, wasn’t it obvious what Xiang Sheng would think?
Hence, they started to communicate with Xiang Sheng!
Xiang Sheng was already depressed to death at that point.
Upon hearing the plan, he agreed without hesitation!
To him, having the throne was more practical over desiring familial affection!
As long as he could ascend to the throne, he would no longer be afraid of Su
Wen and could take revenge wantonly.
Xiang Feiyan looked at Xiang Sheng in a heartbroken manner.
That year, the reason for her desperate struggle to obtain the throne was
standing right in front of her now.
Little Xiang Yan, who was in her arms, at Xiang Sheng and asked in a
childish voice, “Brother, why are you trying to kill me?”
Little Xiang Yan could said to be quick-witted, but he was still inferior to Su
Xiang Sheng said angrily, “Shut up, you little bastard! You don’t deserve your
surname!”
Xiang Yan raised his head and ICN)ked at Xiang Feiyam “Mother, Big Brother is
so fierce!”
Xiang Sheng looked at the two female Heaven Rank guards guarding in front of
Xiang Feiyan. It was obvious that they had been nurtured by Xiang Feiyan.
However, in terms of they had more people on their side!
“Do you want to do it?!” Xiang Sheng shouted at Xiang Feiyan.
Xiang Feiyan’s eyes were cold as she looked at Xiang Sheng. “Do you think your
master won’t leave behind a backup plan? Do you think you’re invincible with
just three Heaven Rank cultivators?”
At the mention of Su Wen, Xiang Sheng was shcxked!
However, he immediately sneered. “A backup plan? What backup plan does he
have? All of the Heaven Rank experts have been summoned to Nine Nether
Island, and all Heaven Rank experts left are those who only just ascended.
What can he do?”
Xiang Feiyan sighed. “You still underestimate him!”
Xiang Sheng seemed to sense that something was wrong and immediately
roared, “Kill them!”
But at this moment, Zhao Jin had already charged over into the palace.
He activated his Heaven Earth Origin Qi Barrier before charging towards the
Heaven Rank ex1Rrts!
There’s no need to hold back. Kill this unfilial son first!”
Xiang Feiyan’s eyes were filled with coldness as she ordered.
After giving the order, she turned around and left with Xiang Yan in her arms.
She was never a soft hearted person, eslk•cially when it came to those who
threatened her IXjsitiom
Furthermore, Xiang Sheng’s performance today had already made her lose all
leeway to be soft-hearted.
When the three saw Zhao Jin charging over, they tumed their hands and
attacked!
Boom!
A IYJwerful force struck at Zhao Jin’s body, but it was useless. His Heaven Earth
Origin Qi Barrier warded off all the attacks!
As for the Heaven Rank in charge of Xiang Feiyan, she
at the same time to blcxk the remaining Qi forces, ensuring that Xiang
Feiyan would not harmed!
On Xiang Sheng’s side, one of the Heaven Ranks immediately shifted in front to
protect him!
On Xiang Feiyan’s side, one of them flew back to Xiang Feiyan’s side to protect
her while the other the battlefield to help Zhao Jin.
As for Xiang Sheng’s side, only two Heaven Rank exlkrts could come forth to
fight, as one of them had to take care of Xiang Sheng. Otherwise, the latter
would crushed to death by the residual force!
With this, within a small area, Zhao Jin with fighting one against one!
If he really fought one against Zhao Jin might not able to win!
But now that it was one against one, Zhao Jin had an almost absolute
No matter what, what Zhao Jin was currently cultivating was the Zhou
Empire’s ultimate technique, the Five ‘IVrant Arts.
In addition, with the supB)rt of a large amount of Heaven Earth Merit, Zhao
Jin’s comprehension of martial arts was extremely deep.
His cultivation was even higher than the rest as well!
In just a moment, he had already gained the upper hand.
“Violet Lightning Rush!”
Zhao Jin tcx)k a step forward, pulling his arms tm•k ruthlessly, he
punched out with all his might!
Zhao Jin didn’t know if it would cause additional damage, but he Imew that he
had to kill these three as scx»n as lxyssible!
Otherwise, the losses would be even greater!
Emrn!
tx»om txx»rn!
Within the palace, violent Qi forces continuously clashed.
These families never that Su Wen would still hold tm•k an additional
card at this time!
Compared to their natural improvement, Su Wen, who had utilized a BUG,
made Zhao Jin one step faster than everyone else.
His cultivation base was even stronger than the rest.
This one move from Zhao Jin was enough to send his omx•nent to the depths of
hell!
In the end, all three of them died on the sm•t!
Xiang Sheng was also killed by Zhao Jin!
As for Xiang Feiyan, what she did immediately was to further gather the royal
and purge those aristocratic families with evil intentions.
This would help consolidate Su Wen and her reforms.
With the advancement of the reforms, the Chu Country was now completely
reborn.
Tax reform had given the court more money to invest in infrastructure and
improve the lives of its people.
In addition, ever since they started rearing mountain pigs to trade “ith the
Demon Realm for Giant Strength Rats, the biggest problem of shortage
was solved.
More money was on education and medical care.
This would allow more commoners to have the opB)rtunity to climb the scrial
Su Cheng and Su Yu also held greater power in the royal court.
However, with the return of the Heaven Rank experts from the various
countries, the next round of fighting would continue.
In the l)emon Realm, Chu Xun frowned.
Chu Yiming had gone for too long!
If it was not lmause Chu Yiming’s life tablet hadn’t shattered, he Mould have
suspected that he had been killed.
“Where did this kid go? But I don’t know where he ran off after being sent to
kill someone.” Chu Xun shook his head helplessly.
He wasn’t too worried about Chu Yiming though. After all, his cultivation level
ensured that he would not be in much danger.
Furthermore, as an of this level, their freedom was very high.
Sometimes, it was normal to find a place to go into closed door cultivation for a
few years.
As long as he was not dead, there would not a problem.
Chu Xun never expected Chu Yiming to so hard working at this IX’int.
Chu Yiming was currently holding a book of
He was shaking his head as he read it!
He wasn’t convinced. Ever since he had rejected the last time, Chu Yiming
had in deep thought.
He was determined to recover his pride by seriously considering his own
shortcomings.
As for Su Wen, he also obtained some information.
The last who brought back to the city was the son of the
Heavenly Fiend Tribe’s general, Long Kun!
