Chapter 172: Man-eating Hungry Ghost Statue



Zuo Xiang looked at the tall figure in front of him in disbelief and wanted to stand up, but the fear in his heart and the suppression of power made it difficult for him to take action.

"Heh... heh, I didn't expect you to be at the Celestial Realm of Saintly Learning, having achieved the status of a Saint. Everyone thought you were at the ninth level of Martial Arts. No wonder... no wonder..."

The Left Prime Minister suddenly laughed out loud, a bit crazily, "Hahahaha! No wonder no matter how hard I try, I can never reach the Heavenly God realm. It turns out...it turns out that the road ahead has already been occupied by others and is blocked!

"Countless students in the world think there's room at the top of the mountain, so they desperately try to climb up. But since you've already reached the top, why don't you tell the world that there's no way forward, Xuwen? You're shameless and selfish!"

In the eyes of the Left Prime Minister, since you, the Right Prime Minister, have already reached the highest realm of sacred learning, the remaining national and people's destiny are completely unable to support a person to be promoted to the realm of heaven again. Then why don't you, the Right Prime Minister, tell everyone this?

Standing on the top of the mountain and mocking the people climbing below?

The majestic saint statue transformed by the Right Prime Minister looked down at the kneeling Left Prime Minister and said coldly, "The world? Where do the world come from?"

"What?" The Left Prime Minister was stunned, not understanding what the Right Prime Minister meant.

The Right Prime Minister then continued, "Hasn't the resources of the Great Song Dynasty's sacred learning long been monopolized by your aristocratic families? How can you even talk about the world?"

The Left Prime Minister's body trembled, and the Right Prime Minister's resounding voice continued, "Do you think I don't know? In the Great Song Dynasty, anyone who can enter the sacred school will be targeted by your families. Those with power will be wooed, and those without power... will be devoured."

"Swallow, devour? What... do you mean? I don't understand what you are talking about!" Zuo Xiang gritted his teeth.

The right prime minister's cold eyes shone down from the sky. He slowly raised his right index finger and pointed at the saint portrait of the left prime minister.

Seeing this, the Left Prime Minister's expression was ferocious. He tried desperately to dodge, but he was like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to move. He shouted sternly: "Xu Wen! Right Prime Minister! What are you doing?! Stop it right now!"

"boom!"

The right prime minister pointed his huge index finger at the top of the left prime minister's kneeling saint statue.

At this moment, a white light bloomed from the top of the saint's statue, and then the white light gradually turned into red.

Suddenly, the Left Prime Minister screamed miserably, and a crack suddenly appeared on the top of the saint's head. A strange red light emanated from the crack, gradually spreading from the top of the head to the bottom.

It was like peeling off the skin. The originally righteous statue of the saint gradually drooped to the sides like the skin being peeled off, gradually revealing the scene inside.

Below, both the emperor in his bedroom and the fifth prince and others who were trying to break through the guards were stunned by the scene before them.

At the left minister's side, the image of a man-eating devil with a blood-red body, a mouth split to the roots of the ears, and sharp teeth emerged from the inside of the saint's statue.

The saint's outer coat gradually withered and twisted, turning into ugly dry skin draped around the devil's waist.

The Right Prime Minister's voice came again: "Although I have reached the Heavenly Lord realm, if there is a descendant I recognize who reaches the realm after me, I am willing to make room for him, but... that is not you.

"You realized that your national luck was insufficient for you to be promoted again, and it was difficult for you to open up new territory. From then on, you were stuck in a dead end. Unwilling to give up, you began to think about plundering the luck of others.

"When someone establishes their destiny, you use your power to deprive them of it and devour the national destiny within them. Those whose destiny you deprive will at best become idiots, or at worst die!

"Saintly learning is a practice that is relied upon by the state and trusted by the people, and is dedicated to saving the world. But in your hands, it has become a practice that cannibalizes people! Look at your image of a saint... it's clearly that of a hungry ghost!"

When the Right Prime Minister finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence for a short time.

It was simply because the hungry ghost image transformed by the Left Prime Minister was too terrifying, and the Left Prime Minister himself was the most admired person by countless students, a master of sacred learning, and the leader of civil officials.

But... now everyone knows that the Left Prime Minister's level of sacred learning was actually accumulated by eating scholars, and they suddenly feel a chill.

But this is actually no secret among some high-ranking families close to the Left Prime Minister. For example, the Wu family of the Minister of Personnel Wu Chaozong. Although he warned his son not to rely too much on the method of devouring to advance in the holy learning, he indulged his son in devouring others again and again.

The only ones who are truly unaware are the students at the bottom of society.

"Hehe...Hahaha! Ahahahahahaha!"

Suddenly, the hungry ghost statue laughed loudly, its terrifying abyssal mouth opened wide. Its blood-red eyes looked at the Right Prime Minister in the sky and shouted:

"Bullshit saint! If you hadn't refused to give up your position to me, I wouldn't have ended up like this! Since you knew I ate those people, why didn't you save them? Because the time wasn't right, right? Hahahahaha! You're nothing but a cold-blooded chess player!

"Now that I've lost, you can sanctimoniously accuse me and condemn me! If I had won, then the Sacred School would have recognized me as the orthodox. If we were to switch places, how could you dare to say you wouldn't have ended up like me? History... is the declaration of the victor."

However, what greeted him was a palm as big as a palace, pressing down from the head of the hungry ghost statue.

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains began to shake. Smoke and dust filled the air. The hungry ghost statue was like glass that had been shattered by a hammer. It instantly turned into countless fragments that flew everywhere. However, the fragments that had lost their original body soon turned into a wisp of red smoke and disappeared with the wind.

"Unfortunately...there are no ifs in this world."
