Repugnant Gateway Chapter 269

An Zaiyue's attitude was especially obvious. He wanted to destroy the morale of those people and change the attitudes of those imperial officials and great clans who were watching.

Without those people, there would have been no way for An Zaiyue to topple the empress dowager.

Even if it was just those people watching from the sidelines, it was still a great thing for An Zeng.

The nine pagodas formed by the Nine Serenities Magic Bell descended. The chains that connected the nine pagodas and the nine pagodas formed a huge circle that surrounded most of the guests from the martial world.

The bell on the nine pagodas rang, and electric sparks flickered on the chains.

Wherever the sonic wave went, the group of at least seven to eight hundred people were suppressed and turned into ashes.

The power of the Purple rank magic equipment was clearly visible.

Before the fifty Qianji field officers had a chance to truly show their might, An Zhe had already killed off the motley crowd.

On the other side, the scene was even more shocking.

Old Huo was standing high up in the air with a wine jug in his hand. He was in high spirits. ""Come, come. Let me show you one of the small gifts I have prepared for you.""

He threw out the wooden box he was holding in his other hand. The wooden box opened up by itself in mid-air, and then a rain of items spilled out of the box. Each of them was bright and shiny, the size of soybeans.

It looked like it was really just a plump soybeans.

These soybeans fell from the sky and rolled on the ground.

On the other side of the main entrance, more than two thousand martial artists were shocked when they saw the beans all over the floor. Nobody knew what was going on.

Old Huo narrowed his eyes and said two words.

""Divine Weapon!""

With a soft mutter to himself, the soybeans on the floor all changed.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The soybean-sized object started to stretch out, then it turned into wooden men one by one.

Each of these wooden men had a green glow flickering on their chests.

The densely-packed wooden figures appeared in front of the martial artists' faces, instantly changing their expressions.

The wooden man began to move, turning to face the martial artists. As he pointed his hand forward, the wooden man army began to press forward in a neat and orderly manner.

All the guests in the martial world were scared. This was a miracle!

All these years, Old Huo has been hiding his name.

No one in the martial world could remember that there was an artificer master in the Da Xi family.

Very few people knew how powerful a peak master artificer could be.

The wooden army began to attack. Although they weren't very powerful, there were simply too many of them.

The group of martial artists were all blown away like a tidal wave. Flesh and blood flew all over the place in an instant, and bits of wood flew everywhere.

Those martial artists retreated backwards from the pressure. The more they fought, the more cold their hearts became.

Wooden men were inanimate, and if they were broken, they would be broken, but if they were dead, they would not come back to life.

The scene became a little strange. In just ten minutes, the mighty crowd of martial artists was defeated.

After leaving a few hundred corpses on the ground, they fled in a sorry state. The wooden figures returned in an orderly fashion before turning into a golden light and flying back into the wooden box.

Old Huo caught the wooden box and poured some wine into his mouth. ""After this, I'm afraid that I won't have a peaceful day.""

On the other side, the more than a hundred so-called experts who had gathered were defeated by Fang Daozhong and Wang Kaitai in an instant.

Empress Dowager Su's control over Fang Bancheng's power in the martial world seemed to disintegrate in an instant.

A few hundred meters away from the battlefield, the two old Daoists of the Supreme Court stood with ugly expressions.

""It seems that it has exceeded my expectations.""

An old Daoist with a white beard sighed, ""I never would have thought that such a small sect would have crouching tigers and hidden dragons.""

See that old man?

There was actually such a person in this world who could seize the good fortune of the heaven and earth.

Sprinkling beans into soldiers is originally a legend of my Dao Sect, but my Dao Sect has never had such a method.

Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he realized how vast the world was.

""Xu Baimei, you seem to have thought of retreating?""

Another old man with a black beard asked.

Xu Baimei turned to look at him, ""Zhou Jiuji, do you still want to make a move?""

After a moment of silence, Zhou Jiuji said, ""What have the ancestors of the Supreme Dao Court dreamed of?""

Now that this opportunity was right in front of him, could he just give up like that?

In my opinion, no matter how crouching the tigers and hidden dragons in the sect are, they are now nearing the end of their tether.

Could such a small sect really fight against the imperial government?

Xu Baiming smiled coldly, ""The imperial court?""

""The Yan Kingdom still has the imperial government?""

Zhou Jiuji shook his head: ""No matter what, I do not want to give up this opportunity.""

Xu Baiming was a little angry. ""Does it mean anything if Empress Dowager Su becomes the Orthodoxy in the future?""

That woman will not last long. Sooner or later, she will become the dust of history.

""You plan to bet on her as if you were betting on a bet. Then you'll be a sinner of the Supreme Court!""

Zhou Jiuji fell into a long silence, then he sighed, ""Western Territory's three thousand buddhist kingdoms, the Buddhist Sect's might is unparalleled.

Look at the land of the Central Plains. The Dao Sect has existed for a long time, but they have never received any attention.

I just want a start. With a start, the Dao Sect might really be able to improve.

""Just like the Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, they have existed for 10,000 years, and have existed for countless years.""

Xu Baimei said, ""You're going in the wrong direction … You're thinking too simple-mindedly.""

Zhou Jiuji turned to look at the young Daoist standing not far behind him: ""I had thought that our generation would not succeed, and also that Feng Xiuzhu would not be able to make it.""

""But look, Feng Xiuzhu is currently in a daze, as if she has become a different person.""

Xu Bai said with a frown, ""We're not old yet, but we can still cultivate a younger and more outstanding generation.

The more chaotic the country, the less opportunity there is for us.

Could the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect be spread through the chaotic world?

No, by the peace of the Golden Age.

The more stable a country is, the faster and more stable the spread of doctrine.

Those sects that thought they could make use of chaotic times would be eliminated sooner or later.

""If it's too peaceful for too long, people will look for faith …""

Zhou Jiuji: ""I'm afraid I won't be able to wait.""

""But …""

His tone changed, ""Feng Xiuzhu cannot keep this person alive.""

I feel like something is wrong with him. Recently, he has been going towards the treasure trove, but he doesn't come out day after day.

And the look in his eyes had changed, and his behavior was even more abnormal. ""

Xu Baimei stayed silent for a while before saying, ""The news was released by the Heavenly Awakening Sect, saying that Duke Yan has been controlled by the brocade palace using some kind of silver needle technique … Feng Xiu raised him?""

Zhou Jiuji: ""Therefore, this person cannot be left alive. Asking him to kill An Zhan can also be considered as giving an explanation to the brocade palace.""

If An Zaiyue kills him, it won't be a bad thing for us if we go to the training hall.

Without Feng Xian and Ding Wanqiu, in terms of talent, Ding Wanqiu would not lose to him. ""

After a moment of silence, Xu Baimei said, ""Many people are watching our movements in the training hall. Even the Great Cauldron Academy is not moving at all. We can't act rashly.""

That crafty old fox from Su Pei was one of Empress Dowager Su's trusted aides. He hadn't made a move yet, so why should we be anxious?

What you said is true. It doesn't matter if we win if we let Feng Xian fight An. It doesn't matter if we die or live.

But at the very least, he was giving Empress Dowager Su an attitude.

""If Empress Dowager Su loses in the end, then this matter isn't done by the Supreme Court. It's a personal grudge between Xiuxiu and An Ying, who's the abandoned disciple of our Supreme Court.""

Zhou Jiuji grunted. ""You're still the one who thought it through. In short, the Taichi Training Hall can withdraw at any time, and also seize the initiative at a crucial moment …""

Xu Baimei waved her hand, ""Just wait and see. Others are not in a hurry. Why are you and I in a hurry?""

Zhou Jiuji turned around and said a few words in a low voice to Feng Xiuzhu, who left expressionlessly with an ""En!""

At the same time, within the Embroidery Palace.

Empress Dowager Su walked to the old man in black. ""What's wrong?""

""Look at you, you're frowning.""

She gently raised her hand and gently rubbed the old man's brow. ""It's not that serious. They're just a bunch of gangsters.""

I've been thinking, if Fang Bancheng really got into a mess, wouldn't it be a mess now?

Mu Changyan had already lost all meaning. There was no difference between dying a few months earlier or dying a few months later.

""I've already sent out the news that Li Fei is already pregnant. After planning for the day to come, I'll give the child to her …""

""Shut up!""

The black-clothed elder suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp. ""That is my child!""

Empress Dowager Su smiled as she crouched down. ""It's yours, no one can take it away.""

But isn't that our plan?

I will be in power for twenty years, and in twenty years I will hand over Great Yan to our children.

I know it's a little unfair to you, because that child still has to be surnamed Mu after all … But what is there to say about that?

""The Great Yan belongs to your son. This is something that cannot be changed.""

The black-clothed elder was silent for a long time. ""Your ambitions are making me feel more and more terrifying.""

""But I've never lied to you before?"" Empress Dowager Su asked.

The black-clothed elder said, ""After the matter of killing Fang Sheng from the Cang Man Mountain, more and more people have died. I have this nagging feeling that there's a pair of eyes looking at me just like that, causing my hair to stand on end.

You've killed one after another. What I'm afraid of is that sooner or later you'll kill me, too. ""

""I've had enough. My child is my child, and I wanted to give him a fair and square status.""

He … It was Zhuge Liuyun!

Empress Dowager Su's palm gently swept across Zhuge Liuyun's face. ""Alright, I promise you … to give me twenty years. Twenty years is enough to change Great Yan.""

Even if they do, how many of those who dare oppose us will be left alive?

With my brain and your ability, you can't kill those who dare to go against me in twenty years?

Zhuge … believe me, you are the only one in my heart.

""Even if I hadn't fought with you back then, I would have killed King Yan and kept you company.""

Her voice was soft and her eyes were charming.

Zhuge Liuyun froze for a while, before he finally softened, ""You … Why must you do this?""

""Even if your family didn't treat you well back then, you can just never do it again. Why do you have to do that?""

Empress Dowager Su's expression changed as she flung her sleeves. ""I can't do it. What did they do to me back then?""

""To take everything from me and marry me to an old man who is about to die, how can I not avenge this grudge?!""

Zhuge Liuyun murmured, ""Old fellow …""

Empress Dowager Su quickly turned around, her face turning gentle again. ""How can he compare to you?""

""Don't think too much about it. I said that I would be with you.""

Zhuge Liuyun waved her hand, ""Forget it, what way do I have to retreat now?""

If this gets out, my reputation will be ruined.

""Don't hope for anything from the Supreme Palace. They have already begun to suspect her by letting her kill and fight for peace.""

Empress Dowager Su laughed. ""Is this not good news?""

When the joker died, so did the people who followed him.

What I am worried about is never the untouchable Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, but the families that have always been right with me, both openly and secretly.

""But in the future, we can't do without them … How about this, how many of the things we raised in the Embroidery Palace are we allowed to leave?""

Zhuge Liuyun stayed silent for a while before nodding, ""Well, I should have let them show up after all.""

""Hurry up and exterminate the Heavenly Awakening Sect. Kill that Mu Qiidao, then you can take over power. I'm already too tired.""

Empress Dowager Su said gently, ""In the future, when I come to rule, even if you don't show yourself, you'll still be worthy of your title as king.""

Zhuge Liuyun's expression changed, and he was at a loss.

At the same time, An Zeng quietly left the Heavenly Ascension Sect, heading in the direction of the Palace of Embroidery."
