Du Yuhu fundamentally didn’t care what Du Rujui thought. Just like this damned court, it also hadn’t cared what Duan Li thought, or what the people of Fenglin City thought.

The fact that Lin Zhengren could make this speech in public meant he had thoroughly broken with Zhuang Gao Xian and Du Rujui. There was no possibility of turning back, ever.

After today, one side had to die completely, because the historical truth of Fenglin City could only be one.

He then ignored Lin Zhengren and directly ordered: “First school, second school, go seal off the national treasury! No person or thing is allowed in or out! Shan Junwei, you lead your men to suppress the hundred officials! Forbid them from acting. Those who resist orders will be killed without mercy! Yang Yin, you personally lead a team into the palace with me to search for the imperial jade seal!”

Many years of military campaigns had already given him a full understanding of the cruelty of war.

Duan Li’s complete transmission of knowledge had also helped him grow into a qualified general.

Since Jiang Wang chose to act today, there was no turning back!

He didn’t think about what Zhuang Gao Xian was doing, or what Jiang Wang’s plan was. He only knew he had to do what he could do well. Just like Lin Zhengren said—

For those who died with their eyes wide open!

At this moment, the entire Zhuang Wang Palace was already in chaos.

Palace maids and eunuchs either trembled with fear or fled in panic.

In the deep palace inner garden, of course, there were some so-called “great inner experts.” But since Shenlin was not yet proven, how could they be called experts in today’s Xin’an City?

There were four Shenlin attacking Du Rujui!

And another one named “Equality King” who was suppressing the dragon vein.

Flee for your life!

There was only one choice: flee for your life.

In the vast Xin’an City, many people were waiting for Zhuang Gao Xian, waiting for their king to return and set things right. This revitalized lord had very high prestige among the people. Although an empire-renowned general like Du Yuhu had raised the flag of rebellion and an upright young scholar like Lin Zhengren had sternly condemned him, it was impossible to shake his position overnight.

The events happened suddenly, and under the suppression of a strong army, they could only wait.

But they absolutely wouldn’t get what they were waiting for, or rather, what they got was definitely not what they wanted.

After the palace gate was blown to pieces, people panicked but dared not make a sound, only suppressing low sobs, intermittent and mournful.

And Zhuang Gao Xian’s empress, who had no sense of presence, led his timid crown prince, driven by fierce gods and evil soldiers, to Du Yuhu’s front.

The one handling this matter was a captain from the Jiujiang Xuanjia. At this moment, he was half-kneeling in front of Du Yuhu: “General, this lowly one has brought the foolish monarch’s wife and children. How should they be handled?”

It was at this moment they realized the matter was no longer so simple.

Xin’an City had been easily taken, and Du Rujui had been driven away like chickens and dogs.

The hundred officials were silent, and the Baiyu Army was as silent as cicadas in winter.

What clear monarch’s side?

Now they wanted to change dynasties, change the sun and the moon!

Those who wanted to follow the new monarch should offer their pledge of allegiance!

The blood relatives of that virtuous-less foolish monarch were the most weighty ones.

But Du Yuhu only glanced at the panicked, tearful woman and youth. With a big wave of his hand, he said: “Wrongs have a head, debts have an owner. One person’s crime does not extend to the family. I will not kill you. Go escape for your lives!”

The Da Zhuang Empress and Da Zhuang Crown Prince, who had been fundamentally abandoned by Zhuang Gao Xian, dared not say another word and ran towards the outer city in panic.

They stumbled, their bodies unstable, losing their composure in their panic, and actually didn’t notice what was in front of them.

Of course, even if they noticed, it was too late.

A blood-red mouth suddenly opened up in front of them, easily swallowing the fleeing pair!

At first glance, it looked as if this mother and son, in their panic, had run into a blood-colored cave.

Then, the cave’s rocks fell, sealing the entrance.

Only a few crisp and forceful crunching sounds were heard, already chewing the two into a pulp!

This continuously chewing giant mouth quickly rose up.

People then saw clearly that this was a hideous blood ghost that had just crawled up from underground.

It was about five zhang tall and one zhang wide, with bulging blue veins and knotted muscles.

As it chewed, fresh blood flowed from the corner of its mouth. It even stretched out a long, barbed tongue, greedily licking the blood clean.

Lin Zhengren was standing on top of this blood ghost.

He still had that gentle and elegant posture, forming a huge contrast with the hideous form of the blood ghost.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he just frowned and said: “Yuhu brother, what are you thinking! The foolish monarch’s bloodline, born of evil seed, how can we let him go and cause disaster later! This woman needs no mention, sharing a bed with the foolish monarch, who knows how much bad water she’s been steeped in. Killing her brings a hundred benefits and no harm! For the sake of the world’s common people, you must not be soft-hearted!”

From ancient times, those with ghostly divine abilities, regardless of their character, were inevitably feared and suspected by people.

But precisely Lin Zhengren was an exception.

Such ferocious divine abilities did not at all affect his image as an upright gentleman.

He had a famous saying that was widely circulated—”I control evil ghosts with righteous qi, so the world does not hear the evil of ghosts.”

At this moment, killing a person’s wife and children was also like acting on behalf of heaven.

Du Yuhu was not a kind-hearted person. Seeing that the people had already been killed, he simply raised a hand, and the evil tiger’s killing intent pressed down, stopping the indistinct ghostly shadow that still wanted to rush into the palace: “Since his wife and children have already been killed, there is no need to harm the others.”

Lin Zhengren looked at him, not knowing if he was guarding against him taking advantage of the chaos to steal the jade seal, or if he was truly soft-hearted, but only said loudly: “Good! You and I truly have the same aspiration! We are a righteous army, fighting for the world’s commoners. We will only execute the chief evil, and absolutely not harm the innocent!”

Du Yuhu said no more and led his subordinates towards the main tower of the protective city great array.

All the high-level officials of Zhuang Country knew that Zhuang Gao Xian had been preparing the protective country great array for years, gathering resources. Although it was still only a half-finished product, the king capital great array at its core was already quite powerful, enough to play a decisive role at a key moment.

This time the Jiujiang Xuanjia entered the city, they had also paralyzed the protective city great array in advance. And now, he wanted to completely erase the possibility of Zhuang Gao Xian reactivating it after hurrying back to Zhuang Country.

Lin Zhengren’s understanding of eradicating evil completely was to cut the grass and remove the roots. If he could exterminate the whole family, he would. His understanding of eradicating evil completely was similar to Jiang Wang’s—kill all suspense, wipe out all possibility of the opponent’s resistance.

At the moment this blood ghost was chewing flesh, Du Rujui’s eyes were cracking with blood!

“Lin Zhengren!”

He roared with a hoarse voice.

At this moment, there was truly a long wail!

He had fought for Zhuang Country his entire life, always remembering Ren Emperor’s entrustment, wanting to protect Zhuang Country’s state and society, and create a more beautiful country.

When Zhuang Gao Xian was still staggering, he had personally helped him onto the dragon throne.

This generation’s Da Zhuang Crown Prince was also someone he had watched grow up. No matter how busy state affairs were, he had to keep an eye on the Crown Prince, fearing his ability was insufficient, his scheming not deep enough, and that he could not shoulder Zhuang Country’s future.

But today, right in front of him, Lin Zhengren had erased Zhuang Country’s future emperor.

It was more casual than killing a dog!

However, he didn’t even have the qualification to ignite anger. Under the siege of the various Yanluo of Hell No Door, how could he be allowed to grieve?

He had already used Zhichi Tianya, walking through the streets and alleys of Xin’an City, but there was fundamentally no one he could shake off or defeat. His breath was becoming weaker and weaker, his body covered in new wounds over old ones.

At this moment, his eyes were wide with anger. He forcefully broke open his heart’s blood, risked receiving a cracking claw strike from Yan Xiao, let his back spine be torn open with a wound deep to the bone, turned his body one step, and stepped to Lin Zhengren’s front.

In this fellow’s suddenly shocked gaze, he grabbed his neck with one hand, lifted him, took a step back, away from that mad, hideous blood ghost, and also left Zhuang Capital!

He couldn’t protect the Empress and Crown Prince.

He also couldn’t protect Xin’an City.

He was sorry to the current emperor, and he had failed Ren Emperor.

But now, this country still needed him.

He must keep a useful body and do useful things.

And before that… he must kill Lin Zhengren!

He had never been so angry!!!

“Bad!”

This was the first thought in Lin Zhengren’s heart when Du Rujui pounced forward.

He didn’t expect that his pledge of allegiance, casually cutting the grass and removing the roots, would drive the deeply scheming Du Rujui mad. He originally thought Du Rujui would be dragged to death here because of the importance of Xin’an City—this was already the only thing Du Rujui could do.

But Du Rujui was now actually giving up Xin’an City!

Actually, before giving up Xin’an City, he hadn’t forgotten to grab Lin Zhengren away.

Who the hell is the main force! Who raised the rebel flag!

Letting go of Du Yuhu and not grabbing him, letting go of the jade seal and not snatching it, was Du Rujui’s brain eaten by a dog?

Lin Zhengren felt very stifled, couldn’t understand, was shocked!

And besides this thought, it was his wildfire-dry grass like desire to survive.

This world would not have anyone save him, so he must give himself a hundred and twenty percent guarantee, and he would definitely fight to the death with anyone who wanted to kill him!

He could endure anything, including humiliation.

But he couldn’t endure danger.

He could give anything, including dignity.

But he couldn’t give up his life!

Life and death are often only a matter of one thought.

But to Lin Zhengren, from that Yellow River meeting onwards, he was in danger every moment.

He said Du Yuhu should understand him, and it wasn’t all false words. These years he had been the same as Du Yuhu, working hard to show his value to seek to preserve his life.

Today’s Zhuang Country was cold, everyone was in danger.

Du Rujui pinched Lin Zhengren’s neck with one hand, originally planning to strangle him to death on the spot, but as he used a little force, five-colored light actually popped out of Lin Zhengren’s neck.

On that narrow neck, a row of five ghost heads bulged out.

The ghost heads had different appearances, showing the five expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, grief, and fear.

It was actually metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, five ghosts sealing the neck!

This greatly exceeded Du Rujui’s expectations.

How many guilty things had this fellow done? How afraid was he of others pinching his neck?!

Du Rujui didn’t strangle Lin Zhengren to death with one grasp. He only pinched his neck, continued to confront the five ghosts, then stepped out of Xin’an City, escaping and killing at the same time!

Xin’an City already had nothing to salvage. What he wanted to do now was inform Zhuang Gao Xian of the domestic change, so he wouldn’t suddenly return, unaware and suffer disaster.

Mountains and rivers were in turmoil, only the emperor could save the country.

Of course, there were some secret communication methods between monarch and minister, but he had already tried earlier, and the transmission channel had already been sealed by Chujiang King.

At this moment, the only thing that could still transmit, the only reliable thing, was himself!

Since he had already decided to go, his footsteps had to hurry.

That evil bird Yan Xiao also had spatial shift technique. Although it couldn’t compare to Zhichi Tianya, it still pursued relentlessly, greatly reducing his choices.

What was more difficult was… this Yan Xiao couldn’t be killed!

He was precisely in the process of killing Yan Xiao when he was heavily injured by Chujiang King. He originally thought he had exchanged injury for space choice, but when he turned back, this bird was again “Yan Yan Yan!”

Under his feet were Zhuang Country’s thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the direction was the Taixu Mountain Gate of the Hold World Alliance.

The first thing to do when seeing the emperor was to let the emperor urgently contact Yujing Mountain. He foresaw that relying only on Zhuang Gao Xian’s true person combat power would be very difficult to save the situation, and he was in danger of being targeted to death. After all, now Xin’an had fallen, the country was collapsing, and the empress, crown prince, and great general were all unfortunate!

But as long as Yujing Mountain took action in time, all problems would not be problems.

It was nothing more than binding their monarch and minister closer to Yujing Mountain, giving Yujing Mountain more offerings… As long as the state and society could be stabilized, everything was worth it!

Du Rujui hated extremely in his heart. While thinking about how to break the situation, he madly bombarded Lin Zhengren.

Even though this body was heavily injured, killing a small Outer Building was not difficult.

Lin Zhengren could hold on for three to five breaths, which was already remarkable.

He also didn’t plan to torture and kill him.

He wouldn’t do things that were of no help to the situation.

Kill him and be done, kill him and be done…

He only hated himself for not taking action sooner!

This treacherous evil ghost, self-destructing his clan and degenerating, was indeed not to be trusted in the slightest!

“I say, why didn’t you take action sooner?”

At this moment, Du Rujui heard a sobbing voice, just like his heart’s voice.

But the voice came from under his hand.

He lowered his head to look.

Lin Zhengren, whom he was dragging out of Zhuang Country like a dead dog, actually had a pair of withered ghost hands with brown spots stretching out from his body, tightly hugging him!

Then came the second pair, the third pair…

Dense ghost hands all grabbed towards him.

Du Rujui’s golden body had already been broken, and he could not bear any more harm.

He instinctively wanted to mobilize the country’s momentum to suppress, but the turbulent country’s momentum responded weakly.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that his prime minister’s seal had been left in the prime minister’s mansion and was being temporarily held by Li Jianqiu… but when Xin’an City changed, the prime minister’s mansion was also sealed!

More gloom rose in his heart.

He hadn’t used the prime minister’s seal earlier to avoid consuming the country’s momentum, and also didn’t want to expose Li Jianqiu, this good seedling. More importantly, under the siege of the Hell No Door Yanluo assassins, he had no time to respond. At this moment, with no country momentum to worry about, he forcefully urged divine light to protect his body, suppressed the ghost hands, and at the same time remotely called the prime minister’s seal!

In an instant, he seemed to cross mountains and rivers and see the sword-wielding man sitting at the case in the main hall of the prime minister’s mansion, his knees crossed.

Li Jianqiu!

He was once also a handsome figure. After coming to Xin’an, he became more and more taciturn. After Dong A died, he became even more solemn, slow in speech but quick in action… He had almost become his chosen next prime minister!

That prime minister’s seal was sealed in a square jade box. It was placed on the long case in front of him.

“Respond to me with the prime minister’s seal!!!”

Du Rujui shouted like this in his heart.

Don’t disappoint me, Li Jianqiu!

Bang bang bang, that Da Zhuang Prime Minister seal vibrated in the jade box. It was about to break out of the box, and its glory had already spread.

Li Jianqiu raised his hand and placed his own sword on the jade box. The prime minister’s seal instantly quieted down!

The seal was for the prime minister, the sword was for the peach branch.

Today, the country was being suppressed with a peach branch!

Du Rujui saw Li Jianqiu sitting in that familiar prime minister’s mansion, lowering his head to gaze at the jade box, as if through this square jade box, through the prime minister’s seal, he was gazing at him.

Du Rujui heard Li Jianqiu say softly and slowly: “Prime Minister, everything is weighed against Zhuang Country. This is what you taught me, and it’s also what Master Dong told me to remember at the last moment.”

His voice was slow and methodical, indeed having some future prime minister’s demeanor: “I think, I am now making the choice you expect me to make.”

Bastard!

If the husband and emperor lose their position, the country will not be a country! How can you say everything is weighed against Zhuang Country?

This wretch is far inferior to Dong A!

Du Rujui was suddenly angry, but as the peach branch horizontally crossed, the sword light flashed over, and this weak link was already cut off!

He then vented this anger on Lin Zhengren, regardless of his injury and fatigue, madly urging his Dao Yuan, and bombarding down a Five Aggregates Thunder with one hand!

The Five Aggregates were form, sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness. With this Five Aggregates Thunder, he would bombard and kill all ghosts!

Almost only heard the thunder boom, and the person in his palm was already breathless, his body black as charcoal, countless evil ghosts scattering into black smoke and fleeing in all directions.

Du Rujui loosened his five fingers, just preparing to throw down the corpse and continue to seek Zhuang Gao Xian to report.

But from this black as charcoal corpse, a ghost hand suddenly reached out again—

Pale white, wet and slippery!

And it precisely embedded itself into his finger seams, holding his hand.

The two hands were so interlocked with ten fingers, with an unusual intimacy!

Du Rujui was startled and withdrew his hand, but it was difficult to separate and abandon the wet and slippery ghost hand that pulled together!

The black as charcoal corpse separated as if shedding its skin.

What was brought out by his hand was a ghost dripping with water all over, its face slightly twisted, then changing into Lin Zhengren’s appearance!

The evil ghosts and black smoke scattered in heaven and earth madly gathered towards him, causing his momentum to continuously climb, clearly impacting the heaven-man barrier!

His smile was still that of a very traditional upright gentleman, only his voice was inevitably much colder: “Prime Minister Du, this day, haven’t you also been looking forward to it for a long time?”

Because of his distrust of Lin Zhengren, before Lin Zhengren was sent as an envoy to various countries, Zhuang Gao Xian had personally taken action and planted a spirit binding rope on his neck.

After Lin Zhengren returned, Zhuang Gao Xian never mentioned the matter again, and Lin Zhengren also seemed to have forgotten.

Du Rujui understood that since Lin Zhengren dared to publicly betray him, he must have already untied this rope.

So he fundamentally didn’t consider using the spirit binding rope.

But he didn’t think that Lin Zhengren would use this kind of escape method!

No wonder he always waited until Lin Zhengren was close to Shenlin before strangling him, yet Lin Zhengren’s cultivation seemed to stagnate!

In order to resist the constant pressure of death, from the beginning, Lin Zhengren had planned to abandon his physical body.

He would refine that devouring Yuan water ghost into his own Dao body, and at this crucial moment, change cages for birds and turn to ghost cultivation!

If this hadn’t happened today, even if Lin Zhengren had this ability, when he leapt to Shenlin, Du Rujui would still have been confident in wiping him out.

But today…

His golden body was broken, and his country’s momentum was stripped away.

This body was heavily injured, this body was tired!

Du Rujui’s gaze crossed the water ghost, looking somewhat listlessly at the mountains and rivers below.

What a beautiful country… He had fought for it his whole life, the place he deeply loved!

Suddenly, his gaze stopped.

He saw the desolation within the beautiful mountains and rivers, and saw a towering stone tablet in the wilderness—

The spirits tablet of the tens of thousands of people sacrificed in Fenglin City.

The tablet stone did not speak.

This chapter is four thousand nine hundred, almost five thousand words.

What do I want to say?

There’s still one at eight o’clock in the evening!!
