Repugnant Gateway Chapter 272

Feng Xiuxiu's eyebrows creased slightly when she saw An Chou use a blazing sun to disperse all the Sword Spirits. However, soon, his expression relaxed and then he raised his hand to clap. ""Not bad, not bad. This is my opponent.""

If I were to win so easily, there wouldn't be any meaning in it.

""If I can take you as my Sword Spirit, my strength will increase by many times. Just thinking about it makes me very excited.""

He took a step forward. ""But …""

After saying these two words, he suddenly stopped and frowned again.

""Annoyed.""

He turned his head and seemed to sense someone approaching from a distance.

After a moment of silence, Feng Xiuzhu regained her expressionless face. However, she winked at An Zhan and mouthed two words: ""Goodbye.""

An Zeng frowned. He didn't understand what Feng Xiuzhu meant for a moment. His body suddenly rose up and then withdrew the black sun in the sky.

When the sun came back into his hands, it was another blazing light.

The sun was originally only the size of a fist, but when it returned to the palm of An Zaihai's hand, the sun began to rapidly grow larger.

An Zeng's body descended from the sky as he pressed his hand down.

The sun, which was as big as a millstone, was already pressing down on top of Feng Xiuzhi's head. She raised her hand and pointed upwards. A sword intention, which was like thunder, rushed up.

It looked like a green dragon, charging towards the setting sun.

The sword intent and the sun met in the air. The green streams of air whirling around the sun seemed to be a rope, swinging away the sword intent. The sun landed heavily on Feng Xiuxiu, who was unable to dodge in time.

Feng Xiuzhu shouted and then disappeared in an instant.

An Zhan stood there with an ugly expression on his face.

He knew that Feng Xiuzhu did not die, but used his own attack to escape.

What was this man thinking?

Since it wasn't under control, why did he have to pretend to be under control?

However, An Zaiyue didn't have the time to stay any longer. He quickly turned around and charged in the direction of the Celestial Sect.

Now that the battle had come to a halt, the martial artists' attacks had to stop because they had suffered too much damage.

This was probably the strangest and strangest rebellion in the history of the Yan Dynasty, and not only in the history of the Yan Dynasty.

The rebel army had stuck to a small sect, but no one in the imperial government could mobilize them. This was why a bunch of gangsters began to attack like madmen for the sake of their ambition to climb up the mountain.

If word of this got out, it could be laughed off by the surrounding countries.

But behind this matter, there was something that caused one to ponder deeply.

An Zhe had an intuition that was much sharper than a normal person's. Thus, after Feng Xiuzhu disappeared, he sensed a true expert approaching.

Therefore, he did not dare to delay and quickly returned to the Heavenly Awakening Sect.

As soon as An Zaiyue came in, Qu Liuxi and the others surrounded him and asked him where he had gone.

He was afraid that they wouldn't say anything when he went out, so he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It would be hard for him to get out if he wanted to.

Qu Liuxi and the others would be closely watching him, as long as he made any moves, he would never leave them.

However, An Zaiyue didn't have the time to think about this. He released Mu Changyan the moment he returned to his room.

When Aunty Ye saw Mu Changyan, her eyes immediately turned red.

The emotions in her eyes were extremely complex, making one's heart ache.

Previously, she chose to follow Mu Changyan back to Fang Guancheng in order to protect Xiao Qidao.

But she always had a different feeling for this man.

It wasn't necessarily love, though. It was more like something kinship or something.

Back then, Mu Changyan had left Fang Shoucheng for her sake. How could she not be moved?

She had always treated Mu Changyan coldly, but she did not want her to continue wasting her time and emotions on her.

After arriving at Fang Shoucheng, she was trapped in the Sky Prison. Mu Changyan was unable to save her, but in reality, she did not have any resentment in her heart at all.

Mu Changyan had no other choice but to follow her back. In order to protect Little Seven, she voluntarily returned with Mu Changyan, so there was nothing for her to resent.

Aunty Ye also knew that if it wasn't for Mu Changyan, the woman in the brocade palace would have already thought of ways to kill her.

What she didn't know was that Zhuge Liuyun had used her to gain Mu Changyan's trust.

Back then, Mu Changyan had asked Zhuge Liuyun to treat Aunty Ye's injuries on time. If Zhuge Liuyun had done it, Aunty Ye would have been murdered long ago.

However, the one who did it was Zhuge Liuyun's disciple.

What was strange about this matter was Empress Dowager Su's arrangements.

Zhuge Liuyun's disciples were in charge of torturing Auntie Ye, while Zhuge Liuyun was in charge of saving her.

This way, Mu Changyan's trust in Zhuge Liuyun would gradually increase.

In Mu Changyan's eyes, Zhuge Liuyun was a pitiful person. Even a nominal disciple like her had betrayed her to become the Empress Dowager's lackey.

Afterwards, this nominal disciple was killed by the young cultivators under Mu Changyan, and when he was killed, it was more like a ceremony.

This was how Zhuge Liuyun obtained Mu Changyan's trust and became the one who hid the most.

When she saw Mu Changyan again, Aunty Ye's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

""I know you can see me.""

An Xuan moved a chair to Mu Changyan's side and sat down. Mu Changyan didn't struggle either. She sat down like a wooden statue and stared at Mu Changyan.

Something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, his eyes should have been on Auntie Ye.

An Xuan said to Mu Changyan, ""And I already know who you are. At first, it was the brocade palace's Zhen Dao, but I guess Zhen Dao is already dead. You're Zhuge Liuyun.""

After saying this, Mu Changyan's expression changed.

""You're smart.""

Mu Changyan suddenly spoke up, but the tone of her voice was completely different from his.

An Zaiyue shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know if he found Chen Shaobai's behavior laughable, or if he was infected by Chen Shaobai, but he had gotten this habit.

""From beginning to end, you have been the most hidden line in this matter, and also the most important one.

You detoxify Mu Changyan and save Aunty Ye. This way, Mu Changyan will start to trust you.

Empress Dowager Su used you to see Mu Changyan's every move clearly.

When you saved Ding Ningdong, I had the illusion that you were actually a benevolent old man. Using poison is only your cultivation method.

But then I thought, if a person's heart is not paranoid, how could he be so infatuated with poison? ""

""You're right.""

Mu Changyan grinned and said, ""But what's the meaning of all this?""

""You are all traitors now, traitors whom one must slay.""

An Zaixin laughed, ""No.""

He looked at Mu Changyan and said, ""Right now, Empress Dowager Su doesn't want to reveal her hidden strength prematurely. The other side doesn't want to participate prematurely, so I have the advantage right now.""

""You say I'm an anti-thief, but he says I'm an anti-thief.""

An Chou pointed at Mu Changyan's nose.

""What are you doing?!""

Mu Changyan roared and stood up. He stomped on the chair with one foot and then carried a chair onto it. He swung a pole at Mu Changyan's head, ""I'll let you step forward!""

This pole knocked Mu Changyan out, and An Zhe turned around and ordered, ""Give him to Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu knows what to do.""

A few burly men came up and carried Mu Changyan out. Not long later, the news that Duke Yan was actually in the Heavenly Awakening Sect spread out.

In an instant, the wind changed.

Originally, they had been fighting to be rebels, but now they had become protectors.

So Duke Yan had always been in the Heavenly Awakening Sect to avoid the empress dowager's persecution.

In order to ensure that the Yan Country would not fall into the hands of those outside of the Royal families, the King of Yan endured the humiliation and fled from the Heavenly Temple.

Two hours later, a copy of King Yan, Mu Changyan's personal edict was released.

This imperial edict was, of course, Gu Zhaogong's work.

In this disclaimer, the Duke of Yan counted the crimes committed by the empress dowager, one by one, each of them punishable by death.

Very quickly, the news quickly spread like a hurricane throughout Fang Bancheng.

Everyone knew that the empress dowager wanted to kill the Duke of Yan herself as his queen.

In the brocade palace, Empress Dowager Su was truly angry this time.

""Useless trash!""

She walked a few steps forward and kicked Su Mao to the ground. ""I've said it many times. No matter how useless Mu Changyan is, I still need to keep him.""

Why did he suddenly arrive at the Heavenly Awakening Sect?

""Why did he suddenly wake up?!""

Su Mao said, feeling wronged, ""Empress Dowager … regarding Mu Changyan, you were the one who gave the order. He is under your personal guard and he did not allow us to interfere.""

Empress Dowager Su's face paled as she raised her hand to slap Su Mao. ""I give the order?""

I ordered Mu Changyan to do it, but why isn't there anyone from Heavenly Temple here?!

""How did Mu Changyan get out? How did he get to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect? Who among you know?!""

Su Mao raised a hand to cover his face. Hatred flashed across his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head. ""Empress Dowager, your subject has arranged men in the Heavenly Temple, but no one knows how Mu Changyan disappeared.""

""At that time, our people saw that Mu Changyan was coming towards the Magnificent Embroidery Palace and had been following her secretly. However, a magic item suddenly appeared and kidnapped Mu Changyan. Moreover, no one showed their faces from the beginning to the end.""

Once again wearing his mask, Zhuge Liuyun stood beside Empress Dowager Su and said, ""It's impossible for him to regain his wits. Of course, that imperial edict wasn't written by him.""

Empress Dowager Su turned around angrily. ""Of course I know!""

But now who will tell me what to do!

A group of good-for-nothings who claimed to be smart were fooled by a child just like that.

Don't you guys usually say that An Zaiyue is just a simpleton, nothing to worry about?

""Then who can think of a way to reverse this situation?""

Zhuge Liuyun thought for a while and said, ""The people may not believe everything they say.""

""So the Empress Mother decreed that the king should be taken by peaceful strife.""

Empress Dowager Su paced back and forth in the room, her face growing uglier by the moment. ""I can't wait. Arrange troops to exterminate Tian Qi.""

At the same time, it was announced that all cultivators who wanted to join the imperial court would be rewarded. As long as they were rewarded for their contributions, the reward would be doubled!

No matter who it was, as long as they were willing to join the imperial court and demand an army rebellion, they would receive three times the military pay.

""These years, I have been closely interacting with the tribes on the grassland. Three months ago, a united army of the grassland was already in the northern part of Swallow Mountain season. They ordered the Yan Men Pass to open up the city's defenses and let the people from the grassland enter.""

Her steps became more and more hurried as she spoke faster and faster. ""Give those clans a final ultimatum and tell them that they must make a choice. Either exterminate those bastards from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, or commit the same crime as the people from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect!""

Zhuge Liuyun said, ""That's not good … It will force people to stand against us.""

""Afraid of them?""

Empress Dowager Su said, ""You've prepared so many things over the years. It's about time you took them out.""

He opened the underground palace of the brocade palace and led the army to attack.

""After the prairie people come in, let them fight against the people from those clans. Since we can't plot against them, I will rob them!"""
