Chapter 808 – The Great Secret of the Day
Hollow Jade Temple
An Zheng thought back to that person he met halfway down the road and felt a bit of lingering fear. Because he knew that even if he was at the first stage of the Lower Celestial Stage, he wouldn’t have any chance of winning if he fought that person. Chen Shaobai and Gu Qianye didn’t know who the man who An Zheng stopped to talk with was, but An Zheng knew him very well.
He was one of the Saint realm marshals of the Great Xi Empire, and the most mysterious one at that. There were many rumors regarding the origins of Mu Jianli’s past. Some people said that he was an abandoned son of a small family, so his status was unknown. Then, by chance, he coincidentally obtained the legendary Immortal Emperor’s Sword Intent, which was why he soared into the sky. Some people even said that he was not someone from Da Xi. He had come from outside this region, and because he had fought against the Eastern Chu Region, he had been recognized by the Sacred Emperor.
When An Zheng was at his peak, he was naturally not afraid of a single Mu Jianli. He had fought with Mu Jianli sixteen times, and each time was a close victory. If victory or defeat were determined by life or death, it would have been much easier for An Zheng at that time. However, the competition was just a competition. It didn’t determine life or death, but there would be many restrictions. In his previous life, An Zheng was also one of those cultivators with peerlessly tyrannical attacking power, so he had to be even more careful during the competition.
Eighteen years ago, when the Sacred Emperor ordered the four marshal of the Sanctuary to stay at the Mausoleum of Books, An Zheng had specially investigated into whether the charges against them were real or not. However, the moment they started to investigate, they were strictly forbidden by the Sacred Emperor. Furthermore, the people of the Ming Fa Si were not allowed to pry into the affairs of the imperial mausoleum.
The four Grand Commanders of the Sanctuary were defending the east, south, west and north sides. If these four people were still here, then there would not be the matter of Chen Zhongxu leading the troops to pacify the south. With a Grand Marshal of the Saint-level overseeing the operation, even those small countries would not dare to rashly invade even if they had eaten a bear heart leopard.
Just as An Zheng was thinking about all these, Mu Jianli came over.
An Zheng recognized Mu Jianli, so he was obviously not able to tell that An Zheng was the Fang Zheng from before.
However, what was even more fearsome was that Mu Jianli could see An Zheng’s appearance.
When he met An Zheng and the others on the street, An Zheng heard them talking to themselves very clearly, that was why he was on guard. Mu Jianli said, An Zheng and the other two had one god and one devil … This was because An Zheng had the body of a god, Chen Shaobai had the body of a demon, and Gu Qianye was the descendant of a saint.
When An Zheng heard that a guest had come to visit and welcome him out, he became more cautious.
Upon seeing Mu Jianli, he was slightly stunned. Mu Jianli was clearly also a little surprised that he had met the eldest disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple, the current leader of the young generation in the Jinling that was hot enough to burn one’s hands.
“Unexpectedly.”
Mu Jianli laughed, his smile filled with kindness. “No wonder.”
He said six words. Unexpectedly, it was no wonder.
An Zheng cupped his fists and bowed: “May I know who senior is?”
“I’m Mu Jianli. You probably don’t know me and have never heard of me.”
An Zheng shook his head. “I have heard of one of the Marshal of Absolute Monarch Sanctuary.”
“You entered the Jinling less than a year ago, and I have already disappeared for eighteen years. If you know my name, why?”
Mu Jianli asked.
An Zheng replied: “If you want to stay in Jinling for a long time, you must know this world’s number one city. The city was dead and the people were alive. In the most terrifying aspect of the Jinling, cities accounted for three parts, and people for seven. As for the four marshal of the Sanctuary, they took up three out of seven. ”
“Oh?”
Mu Jianli was very interested in An Zheng’s idea, “Then tell me, what about the remaining four?”
“Three of them are Saint-level marshals, while many clans and sects are divided. His Imperial Majesty is in charge of three of them.”
Mu Jianli couldn’t help but laugh, “What you said is wrong. If the Jinling were to be given ten minutes, your majesty would have nine.”
An Zheng said, “It could be that senior is different from how I see your majesty.”
“His Majesty is the only Emperor. Why is there a difference?”
“Because even though senior is no longer a marshal, in reality, only the four of you deserve the title of marshal. So, Senior is still a person of the Holy See, you should naturally show more respect to His Majesty than others. ”
“Aren’t you in awe?”
“I revere Daofathers even more.”
An Zheng’s answer was so crafty that it made people feel that he was an old cunning fox that had become smart.
Mu Jianli smiled as he shook his head: “You don’t look that smooth.”
An Zheng extended a hand and invited Mu Jianli to sit down: “Even if Your Majesty had asked me this question, I would have answered you the same way.
Mu Jianli did not sit down when he entered the Gao Clan, but sat down when he entered the Hollow Jade Temple. An Zheng asked his servants to serve tea, causing Mu Jianli to be slightly startled when he heard them request for tea. He did not understand why An Zheng would use the word ‘please’ to describe a servant.
“You seem like a guest here. You even said ‘please’ to your subordinates.”
An Zheng said: “They respect me, how can I not respect them?”
Mu Jianli seemed to have suddenly realized something, and he sat up straight, clasping his hands together, “Thank you.”
An Zheng did not understand. “Why do you want to thank me, senior?”
“You remind me of my duty.”
Mu Jianli looked at An Zheng’s hand: “Just now on the street, your palm contained the might of heavenly lightning, why didn’t you release it?”
An Zheng replied: “Senior’s sword intent is too terrifying, I can’t defeat you, so I can’t fight.”
“Only those who can beat it can. You’re not a gentleman.”
“He knows he can’t beat her, but he’s going to suffer.”
Mu Jianli seemed to be a little disappointed. When he saw that youth had the might of heavenly lightning, he couldn’t help but think of Fang Zheng. And the reason he came this time, was because the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo wanted to let him see if Chen Liuxi had anything to do with Fang Zheng. Previously, on the main street, Mu Jianli was almost certain that this young man was related to Fang Zheng. However, after meeting him again, he was unwilling to believe thaerson who was so rigid and unyielding, Fang Zheng, would have such a tactful successor.
Back then, the word Fang Zheng looked down upon the most was worldly wisdom. His personality was rigid and inflexible, and the only thing he revered in his heart was the word “justice”. The young man in front of him looked to be more suitable for living than Fang Zheng, but he was not even a shadow of Fang Zheng.
If An Zheng was easily found out, then his death would have been in vain.
“Whaity.”
Mu Jianli said one word, as if he had lost all interest to continue chatting.
He stood up and prepared to leave. “His Majesty said that you can stop now.”
An Zheng nodded: “Whatever Your Majesty says is what it is.”
Mu Jianli’s face became even more unsightly, the disappointment in his heart had already reached its peak, he casually raised his hand in farewell, and then turned to leave. An Zheng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and followed behind Mu Jianli: “Senior, you’re leaving just like that?”
Mu Jianli didn’t even turn his head around, “When we met on the street, all our lucky chances were gone.”
In his heart, An Zheng wished he could act like this, and she felt that it would be very regretful. To be honest, the biggest change in An Zheng’s life did not only come from his own insights, but also from the influence that Du Shoushou and the others had on him.
When Mu Jianli walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and turned his head back, glancing at An Zheng witrofound look. “If I were you, I wouldn’t have said what His Majesty had said just now.”
“Why?”
“Because the person you fear should be a Daofather.”
Mu Jianli’s body disappeared in a flash, as if he had never appeared. An Zheng was a little worried, what did Mu Jianli’s last sentence mean?
Returning to the Hollow Jade Temple, he thought that it would be better to stay in the tea garden for a while longer until his body was fully recovered. However, those 600 people still needed his training. He could wait, but the people of the Great Xixi could not wait any longer. There were more and more summoner in the Summoning the Spiritual World. Cultivators could take care of themselves, but commoners could not.
Just as he was about to return, Han Dakui walked up to An Zheng in large strides. “I’ve already memorized all of the Glyph Devils that you told me to remember. I’m not even afraid of death, why would I be afraid of reciting? ”
He passed the book in his hand to An Zheng: “Go and check!”
An Zheng shook his head. “I trust you.
Han Dakui was obviously stunned for a moment: “You... Trust me, what do you mean? Didn’t you look down on us? ”
An Zheng laughed and said: “I trust you because you are a qualified soldier. If soldiers can lie in this area, then there is nothing much to be gained from it. I know your past, so I can trust you. I know you are a man of your word. Besides, I want you to remember that this is not for me, but for yourselves. Remember, you may die from these demon beasts, but if you don’t, you will definitely die. ”
Han Dakui scratched his head: “You’re not a bad person, then let me ask you, when are we going to the battlefield?!”
An Zheng said: “When you think it’s okay.”
Han Dakui immediately opened his mouth: “It’s fine now.”
An Zheng pointed to the people who were still reciting from the book, “You can do it, but what about them? I plan to make you a general and bring them to war with the summoner. ”
Han Dakui was stunned, “So that means... It really isn’t time yet. I’ll come find you when the time comes. ”
As he walked, he muttered to himself, “F * ck, this person seems to be very reasonable. He’s so f * cking annoying. He’s also f * cking reasonable. Why don’t I find him that annoying anymore?”
An Zheng smiled as he shook his head. The six hundred people were the beginning, the beginning of the counterattack against the beasts. He would do his best to train these six hundred people to understand the demon beasts. He would let them create a miracle, where their individual cultivations were far from the demon beasts, but they could kill the demon beasts through team battles. They will be everyone’s hope in the future, and they will infect and appeal to more people.
Imperial Palace, quiet garden.
As usual, Mu Jianli walked in with unhurried and unhurried steps, his face as devoid of sadness and joy as usual. He had gone to the Zhou family, gone to the Hollow Jade Temple, and done what he had to do. However, he did not feel that he had accomplished anything. It was just something he did not like. In his opinion, the enmity between the members of the Zhou family and the Hollow Jade Temple should be resolved through a fight. However … Of course, he could not say suchought out loud.
“Just wait outside the door.”
The voice came out from inside the house. Chen Wunuo walked out witoe in his hand: “Have you seen it?”
“Reporting to his Majesty, I’ve already seen it.”
“Got something?”
“Yes.”
Chen Wunuo waved his hand: “Speak.”
Mu Jianli organized his words and said: “The Zhou family members are impatient and do not know when to retreat. 300 years of being a high official has raised a body full of hostility, but it doesn’t have the will to fight to the death … Thus, in the end, the people of the Zhou clan are nothing to worry about. ”
“Where’s Chen Liuxi?”
“It’s a …”
Mu Jianli was silent for a long time. Although he had been tidying up his words since Chen Wunuo had asked him, when he was about to answer, he realized that he did not have any suitable words to describe Chen Liuxi.
“Hard to say? Or did you not see through me? ”
“Yes …” “It’s hard to say.”
Mu Jianli glanced at Chen Wunuo and realised that the Sacred Emperor seemed to hold this Chen Liuxi in high regard. It had been a very, very long time since he last saw this look of anticipation in the Sacred Emperor’s eyes.
“He ierson that His Majesty would definitely use well, but he is not a person like Fang Zheng.”
Mu Jianli’s answer was also cunning.
“Oh.”
Unexpectedly, Chen Wunuo only let out a light “oh”. While he was mowing the grass, he casually said, “Don’t go back to the Royal Tomb. It’s time for the four of you to rest up for eighteen years.” Once that thing is accomplished, the difficulties Da Xi is facing right now won’t be difficult. ”
Mu Jianli’s face changed slightly. “But, is that not enough?”
Chen Wunuo waved his hand: “Let the people from Star Observation Pavilion do the final stage.”
He straightened his body, “This Emperor can make the world prosperous, or he can make the world invincible. Star Observation Pavilion has schemed for two hundred years for me, and you have worked hard for me for eighteen years … It’s time to part with the dark clouds in the sky above the Great Western Region. ”
