Di Xin: ? ? ?
Can't you even tell the difference between polite words?
How can you guys survive in officialdom like this? Huh?!
Seeing the assembled ministers holding their breath, Di Xin slowly said, "I intend to fully promote the cultivation of our human race. After today, I fear many will be eager to rebel. All those who rebel, kill them!"
"Now that we've pacified the land and the Heavenly Ladder is complete, I will raise an army to attack Heaven. My ministers, who agrees with my decision? Who opposes it?"
The ministers: ⊙?⊙!
Your Majesty, your question is unnecessary. Listen to your tone; do you think we have any room to refute you?
Not at all!
All eyes of the ministers were on Wen Zhong.
Seeing this,
Wen Zhong's heart tightened. What are these bastards looking at me for?!
It seemed as if all the officials were behaving according to my wishes, as if I were the one controlling the government.
wipe!
These bastards are trying to get me into trouble!
The courtiers: "Uh..."
We really didn't mean that. It's just a habit. Whenever the king issues a decree, you're always the first to step forward, and then Huang Feihu, Bigan, and Shang Rong echo you!
We're just waiting for the Grand Tutor to speak first, and then we'll chime in.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward. Shang Rong then stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is wise, we obey Your Majesty's decree!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
The other ministers also hurriedly echoed, "Your Majesty is wise, we will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
Di Xin nodded with satisfaction, "Very well, since all the ministers agree, let's do it this way!"
The courtiers: "..."
Everyone's in favor, but what's the point if we want to oppose it?
Your Majesty, stop with these empty gestures!
...
at the same time,
Inside Jiameng Pass,
General's Mansion
A fat Taoist priest sought an audience with the four generals of Jiameng Pass, but was driven away by the guards at the gate.
"Please go in and announce my arrival. I've come to present this treasure to the four generals! If the four generals are pleased, I will certainly accept the reward!" the fat Taoist said politely.
Upon hearing this,
The soldier said, "Really!"
"nature!"
After being informed of his arrival at the mansion and receiving orders from the general, the soldier escorted the obese Taoist priest into the mansion.
Main hall,
As the obese Taoist priest entered, he was immediately met with four sharp gazes, as if they wanted to see right through him.
The four generals of Jiameng Pass are also known as the Four Heavenly Kings listed on the Investiture of the Gods.
Mo Liqing, Mo Lihong, Mo Lihai, and Mo Lishou, also known as the Four Generals of the Mo Family.
"Who are you?" Mo Liqing asked.
The obese Taoist replied, "Taoist Duobao!"
After saying that,
Mo Liqing and the other three exchanged glances, their eyes narrowing slightly. Duobao Daoren!
This guy is the great traitor of the Jie Sect that Master mentioned! Humph! He's really delivered himself to our doorstep!
"Never heard of it. I heard you're here to present a treasure?!" Magic Red said at this moment.
“Of course!” Daoist Duobao replied.
Mo Lihai then asked, "No relation whatsoever, yet they come to deliver treasure? I'm afraid they harbor malicious intentions!"
Mo Lishou also said, "That's right, they must be harboring evil intentions. Quickly confess the truth!"
Daoist Duobao replied calmly, "I have no ill intentions. I am simply destined to be with the four generals. If the four generals are willing, they may become my disciples and I will pass on my treasures and teach them the Dao."
Mo Liqing and the other three exchanged glances. Sure enough! Their master was right. If things went according to plan, the four of them would be disciples of Daoist Duobao and part of the Investiture of the Gods.
(Whether these four were actually disciples of Duobao Daoren is disputed; some say yes, some say no. Here, we'll assume they were!)
"You want us to become your disciples?! What skills do you have that would make my four brothers submit to you?" Mo Liqing asked.
Upon hearing this,
Daoist Duobao smiled confidently, "Let me show you four generals the magic treasures I want to give you."
As he spoke,
Daoist Duobao flipped his hand, and a long sword appeared, its sharp edge menacing.
At the same time, Daoist Duobao said, "This is the Qingyun Sword. There are talismans on the sword, with four characters in the middle: Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind."
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
The wind is a black wind, containing thousands of spears and halberds. If a person encounters this blade, their limbs will be reduced to dust.
As for fire, golden snakes swirl in the air, and black smoke blankets the ground, obscuring vision and scorching flames with no shelter.
This sword is a gift to General Mo Liqing!
As the sound faded,
Mo Liqing asked, "Would you please test your swordsmanship for us? Give us a demonstration!"
"No problem at all! Please move to the four of you!" Daoist Duobao said confidently.
then,
Moving to the courtyard, Daoist Duobao unleashed the Azure Cloud Sword. Unbeknownst to him, as the sword's power was unleashed, Mo Liqing had silently sealed it away.
Although Daoist Duobao was at the peak of Quasi-Saint level, he was completely unaware of it.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent!
When the Azure Cloud Sword was wielded, the world was peaceful and serene, contrary to what Daoist Duobao had described!
Daoist Duobao: ? ? ?
What's going on?
This isn't right!
In an instant, as Daoist Duobao examined the Azure Cloud Sword, the sealing power dissipated.
No problem!
But when he swung his sword again, there was still no movement.
Mo Liqing said jokingly, "That's it? It seems a bit different from what you described!"
Daoist Duobao: ? ? ?
What exactly happened?
“Lingbao has a spirit, and this sword is probably reluctant to leave me. After the general has nurtured it for a while, it will be fine!” Daoist Duobao said, forcing himself to speak.
then,
Daoist Duobao then took out another magic weapon and said, "This is the Hunyuan Umbrella. This umbrella is made entirely of pearls, including emeralds, emerald seals, emerald jade, luminous pearls, dust-repelling pearls, fire-repelling pearls, water-repelling pearls, cooling pearls, nine-curved pearls, face-stabilizing pearls, wind-stabilizing pearls, and pearls strung together to display the four characters 'Qiankun' (Heaven and Earth)."
When this umbrella is opened, the sky darkens, obscuring the sun and moon; with a turn, the universe shakes; and with a tremor, it can seize the enemy's treasures and weapons.
"This umbrella was a gift for General Mo Lihong!"
After saying that,
Mo Lihong said, "Is this umbrella also shy around strangers?"
"Of course not!" Daoist Duobao said confidently.
As he spoke,
Daoist Duobao opened his umbrella, and there was no sound at all, but only a gentle breeze passed by, and the world remained clear and the sun and moon remained bright.
? ? ?
What happened?
Daoist Duobao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately became suspicious. Could it be these four people?
According to the established trend, he should have taken these four generals as his disciples long ago, but these four have disappeared for many years!
Branch teaching?!
The reputation of the branch sect of the Jie Sect is now quite great. Even though he had been in seclusion for some time, his master had instructed him not to provoke the branch sect when he emerged.
Based on the pattern, have they also joined the sect?!
That's highly likely. If it's true, they're... playing me for a fool!
"Hey! Isn't your umbrella supposed to be fearless?! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or... I'll lose my temper! And the consequences will be severe!" Magic Red said coldly.
Mo Lihai then chimed in, "Fatty, you'd better explain yourself, or... my second brother will definitely flick your 'Gil' so hard it'll swell up!"
Daoist Duobao: ? ? ?
What is Jill?!
Why do I feel... a cool breeze blowing from below?
I have a very bad feeling!
