Chapter 217: Chapter 215 Minister: Emperor Zhou, you rebellious wretch

Roar!

A gentle, low roar interrupted the conversation between Liang Hui and Su Yao.

By now, the White Bone Tiger Demon had finished absorbing the flesh and blood and had arrived in front of the war chariot.

Stripes of golden light appeared on the beast’s body, transforming into chains that hung on the chariot.

At the same time, a storage ring flew out of the White Bone Tiger Demon’s mouth and arrived in front of Liang Hui.

Liang Hui took the ring, but did not immediately inspect it, instead turning his gaze towards the significantly transformed White Bone Tiger Demon.

The formerly pure white bones now had hints of gold, and even the white Soul Fire was tinged with a golden glow.

In Liang Hui’s perception, the White Bone Tiger Demon was now no weaker than a Taoist Master Level powerhouse.

It could take a punch from him and only die after that, and its intelligence had also greatly improved.

In such a state, it was no longer appropriate to call it the White Bone Tiger Demon.

"From now on, you shall be called Hoo Bai."

The young man softly uttered, confirming the White Bone Tiger Demon’s new name.

Standing off to the side, Su Yao leaned against the chariot railing, caressing a white long ruler, glanced at Liang Hui, but said nothing.

Meanwhile, Liang Hui immersed his consciousness into the ring.

Soon, a bright yellow Jade Slip appeared between his fingers.

’Dragon Qi cultivation technique, interesting,’ the young man mused to himself.

Dragon Qi was an extremely overbearing energy and was also how the Chu Nation’s royal family could suppress the internal strife within the kingdom; he had not expected it to remain intact.

Did they determine that he would not carry out an act of total annihilation?

Clutching the Jade Slip, there was a hint of mockery in Liang Hui’s eyes.

At this time, the war chariot began to slowly travel southward, with the young man engrossed in the content of the Jade Slip and Su Yao observing the scenery outside the chariot.

Apart from the omnipresent thunder in the world, everything else was exceptionally harmonious.

...

The annihilation of the Chu Nation’s royal family and the near-extinction of the populace across several states spread far and wide.

The world was in uproar.

Some forces were shocked by the death and injury of the common people, and others were horrified at the Divine Emperor’s resolute decisions.

Unwilling to accept any threats, even if it meant slaughtering the innocent to eradicate all enemies.

The Great Zhou Dynasty.

The capital city of Zhongzhou.

The court meeting was in session.

A female figure sat upon the dragon throne, looking at the court officials on both sides of the palace.

In the eyes of the many court officials, there was not even a shred of awe or respect.

"Emperor Zhou, what were your intentions when you had your Majesty go to the Chu Nation?" A senior official in a vermillion robe stood out from the assembly and rebuked sharply.

"Emperor Zhou, do you intend to betray the Divine Court?"

"Confess your sins, Emperor Zhou."

Angry roars reverberated through the court.

At the same time, the might of various divine meridians and Primordial Spirits rose outside the palace, pressing towards the empress.

It left the attending eunuchs and palace maidens pale with fear.

The woman seated on the dragon throne displayed not an ounce of regal dignity at that moment.

As her palm gently caressed the dragon throne, her august eyes flashed with an extremely complex emotion.

Four years had passed. The shackles she had nearly broken free from were now firmly clasped once more, never to be shattered again.

"Divine Emperor Your Majesty, when you dispatched the envoy to the Chu Nation, you all agreed as well," she spoke.

"Ha! What an unabashed liar," one retorted.

"We are loyal to the Divine Court, how can a harlot like you rebuke us?" another shot back.

"To seduce Emperor Tang, to murder your own children and to claim the throne through rebellion, your sins are unparalleled in history, ancient and modern," the court official in the vermillion robe’s voice grew even louder.

He turned!

And knelt towards the exit.

"I beseech the elders to take action, to capture Emperor Zhou, to prevent a repeat of the Chu Nation’s fate."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Five figures walked side by side into the palace, bypassing the court officials, confronting Emperor Zhou head-on.

...

It had been ten days since the fall of the Chu Nation’s royal family.

The upheaval that should have occurred was quelled as the six major families, led by the Song Family, took action to pacify, along with the cooperation of the Beast Taming Sect moving southward.

The restless hearts were calming down with incredible speed.

Manzhou, the largest and southernmost state of Great Chu.

It was a land seized from the Barbarians by successive Southern States and melded into a great state.

On this vast land, the Barbarian Tribe coexisted with Chu people, clashing continuously with Longevity Hall.

Bloodshed, desolation, strife, and barbarism were its themes.

Until an ancient battle chariot arrived, and all fighting ceased.

Whether it was Longevity Hall or the Barbarian Villages, at this moment, they were all unusually docile, shrinking within their respective domains.

Liang Hui sat alone in the chariot, eyes tightly closed, surrounded by numerous utensils.

Each utensil carried a special aura.

As time passed.

Liang Hui slowly opened his eyes, revealing a depth like that of the starry sky, yet there were fine streams of light constantly passing through them.

Each stream of light was a form of martial arts, like rain that filled the heavens, too numerous to see clearly.

’Dream-Entering’ Divine Veins, Primordial Spirit artifacts, studying the knowledge contained within—this was the cultivation Liang Hui engaged in since the destruction of the malevolent paths.

Apart from the necessary sacrifices of a Taoist, every moment was spent learning and deducing in his mind, advancing his martial arts without cease.

He was drawing from all martial arts and Taoist techniques of past and present by his own strength.

’I am now ninety percent certain that the ’me’ in those memories did not possess the Dream-Entering Divine Ability, otherwise it wouldn’t have taken me a sexagenary cycle to step out into the world,’

the soft murmur in Liang Hui’s heart.

Then did this Divine Ability truly arise from coincidence?

The young man pondered, his mind filled with various speculations.

These chaotic thoughts were all severed in the end.

Power, only formidable power, could render all fears irrelevant.

By then, whether it was conspiracies or true coincidences, none would matter.

Unnoticed, a city constructed of piled stones had come into view.

Liang Hui’s gaze did not linger long on the city, but pierced through the space to observe the prosperous secret realm that had been carved out.

The secret realm was exceptionally bustling, but its strongest individuals all gathered at the edge of the realm, about a dozen of them.

As the youth’s gaze fell upon them, they appeared one by one before the city.

A big man dressed in bronze armor stepped forward first.

The Great Han man was respectful in demeanor, bending his body as he presented a wooden box with both hands.

"Divine Emperor Your Majesty, here is the head of the Elder of the Poison Sect, along with 1,024 traitorous individuals from the Poison Sect, all beheaded!"

Fearing that Liang Hui might not understand why the Poison Sect was targeted, the Great Han man continued to explain.

"Your Majesty, all affairs within the Tianyuan Secret Realm were overseen and participated in by the Poison Sect."

"So you’re certain the Poison Sect offended me within the secret realm?"

The deep voice slowly emanated from the chariot.

"Anything or anyone that might offend Divine Emperor Your Majesty, Longevity Hall will assuredly cleanse for Your Majesty," the resolve was clear in the Great Han man’s voice.

The youth nodded; a wise man indeed.

Moreover, he was indeed somewhat tired of killing, his desire to kill dimming slightly with the destruction of the Chu royal family.

"Put away the wooden box."

Whew~

With the words from Liang Hui, relief washed over the Great Han man and the senior members of Longevity Hall behind him.

It seemed they might live after all.

The young man leaned on the chariot’s railing with one hand, his gaze drooping.

"I have heard Longevity Hall consists of six sects: Poison, Curse, Puppet, Martial, Taoist and Beast."

"Indeed, Divine Emperor Your Majesty."

"Here are all the scriptures of Longevity Hall, please accept them with a smile, Your Majesty."

Six bracelets flew directly from the bosom of the Great Han man, hovering in front of the chariot.

Heh!

A light chuckle came from the youth; a clever man indeed.

Without saying much more, he had already grasped his true intention.

With a slight wave of his hand, the six bracelets pierced the brightness and arrived in Liang Hui’s palm.

His finger pausing slightly on the bracelet of the Curse Sect before he stowed them all away.

"Good!"

"Take your sect to Tuzhou."

"As you command, Divine Emperor Your Majesty."
