Of course, the actual destructive power wasn’t that great.

But the insult was profound.

With the spread of Xu Qing’s article.

These lower-class citizens suddenly found an outlet for their emotions.

Previously, they thought he was a descendant of a Saint and had the Court’s backing, so everyone had to swallow their anger, but it turned out he was a descendant of the enemy, how could they bear it any longer.

The tenants and house slaves of the Kong Mansion were the first to rebel.

Because the Kong Mansion’s rituals were strict and treated tenants and house slaves inhumanely, committing many evil deeds.

These grievances, with the Luo Sect Master’s instigation, were like oil meeting flames, and instantly exploded.

The government soldiers and many mid-level officers, upon seeing this, did not suppress it initially but joined in.

People can become numb to oppression, but that does not mean hatred disappears; it’s just repressed.

Once it erupts, it is more terrifying than anyone can imagine.

And the strength of the Kong Mansion was more fragile than anyone anticipated.

Without the sanctity of being descendants of a Saint, most of them were just ordinary people.

Even if there were powerful Martial Artists, they were helpless in the face of this overwhelming tide.

However, the Kong Mansion is after all an aristocratic family of a thousand years with deep roots, upon sensing the crisis, they retrenched. The entire Duke Yan Sheng Mansion was like a small castle.

Under the Duke Yan Sheng’s organization, the elite personnel of Kong Mansion were assembled, and they temporarily held the Duke Yan Sheng Mansion and the Holy Temple.

At first, they waited for the Official Army’s rescue, but when they found that the Official Army had also joined the rebellion, many people from Kong Mansion began to psychologically collapse.

However, besides the Kong Mansion, there were many small sects and nobles linked by kinship to the Kong Mansion; these became their venting targets, and they took the opportunity to burn, kill, and loot as they pleased.

Red-haired Yan Kong’s cultivation was rapidly recovering under this aura of slaughter.

His current Cultivation Technique was called the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Skill.

Transforming himself into a Hell, sweeping the world with the Dragon Elephant Giant Force.

This was also the method Red-haired Yan Kong thought of to rapidly recover his strength.

The Luo Sect Master was now in a predicament; initially, he just wanted to start a fire but ended up becoming a torch himself. As the Luo Sect had a history of rebellion and was well-known, many rioters recognized him.

Moreover, Red-haired Yan Kong fanned the flames, claiming to be a descendant of Monk Peng, here to save people.

Monk Peng was one of the leaders of the peasant uprising at the end of the previous dynasty, very senior and heroic, and even after two hundred years, there was spontaneous worship among the populace.

On this land, those who had pleaded for the people would never be forgotten.

Red-haired Yan Kong laughed and said, "Seeing nature is effort, killing is virtue. This is exactly when we earn merit, Hierarch, do not hesitate."

He also killed many people, absorbing their Qi-Blood, practicing the power of Dragon Elephant, dominating like the Heavenly Demon Star descending.

Indeed, he was unfortunate in South Zhili just because Xu Gongming hindered him; once he left, the sky was wide and the sea vast.

Previously overseas, he also had a decent chance meeting Gu the Taoist of the Fang Immortal Dao and took some good items from him.

So, in this life, it was purely bad luck encountering Xu Qing, manipulating others was still easy for him.

This was probably also the influence of the Red Moon’s Buddhist mantra; he was fated to be restrained by someone practicing the Golden Light Spell.

Luo Sect Master: "I am not hesitant, but the Kong Mansion is not easy to conquer."

After all, being an aristocratic family for a thousand years, there are several formidable elders.

In these days, Luo Sect Master and his people had fought several battles with the other party, with no clear winner.

And the rioters under his command were good at smashing and looting, but attacking the Duke Yan Sheng Mansion, which was nearly a fortress, was really beyond their ability.

The Kong Mansion had plenty of food inside, and if they held firm, it might not fall even in half a year.

But the Court would not give them half a year.

Red-haired Yan Kong glanced at the Heart Moon Fox.

Heart Moon Fox said, "During the late previous dynasty, the source of the rebellions from all factions was the saying ’Don’t say the stone statue has just one eye, it stirs the Yellow River and the world revolts.’ Now, the flooding of the Yellow River is merely a recurrence of what happened over two hundred years ago. I roughly remember what the statue looks like. Let’s create a similar one, follow the old practice, and stir up even bigger chaos."

If the Great Yu Dynasty doesn’t fall into chaos, how can it have the chance to save its original body?

Isn’t the fact that Dragon Tiger Mountain can suppress numerous demons also related to the Dynasty Destiny of the Great Yu Dynasty?

Once its original body emerges, it must devour people like Red-haired Yan Kong, Luo Sect Master, to restore its cultivation.

That Xu Qing, so young yet full of vital energy and overflowing with essence, must play with him a hundred times before devouring.

It harbored malicious thoughts in its heart.

The Luo Sect Master thought, this sly fox is indeed good at playing the weaker game.

This idea is not bad either; stir things up bigger, then whether to advance or retreat, all can be justified.

When the chaos is minimized, firepower becomes concentrated.

Next, Heart Moon Fox would create the stone statue, the Luo Sect Master would arrange for his people to work on public opinion. Besides this, they’re also gathering firearms from the city, useless or not, having them just for show is still acceptable.

After seeing them, Heart Moon Fox was somewhat speechless; these firearms were clearly from its era and looked corroded.

Why are Xu Qing’s firearms so powerful.

Thinking of the power of the Purple Thunder Rocket, Heart Moon Fox was in a very unpleasant mood.

...

...

Mobilizing the Court’s army to suppress the rebellion was not a simple matter; just as they were preparing to depart, they heard that in East Mountain Province, both officials and many mid-level military officers had joined the rebellion. The leading general almost pretended to be sick and died on the spot.

Moreover, information kept coming in, mentioning the appearance of a one-eyed stone statue in the Yellow River passing through East Mountain Province.

"Do not say the stone statue has just one eye, it stirs the Yellow River and the world revolts!"

This sentence, like a demon curse, immediately cast a shadow over North Zhili.

It was as if a ghost was floating over the Court.

The Grand Secretary had not expected that a civilian uprising could cause such a big commotion.

Many officials were guessing if it was true that the Grand Secretary resembled figures from the previous dynasty like Tuotuo and Wang Jingchuan, could it really be a mistaken nickname?

Faced with this, the Grand Secretary quickly calmed down, "Your Majesty, a mere civilian uprising is not to be feared, what’s to be feared is someone seizing the opportunity to create chaos. Now, above the court, more than ever, we need to stabilize it with calm."

...

...

Great Zen Temple, back mountain.

"Abbott, now that the Court is in disarray, should we make our move?"

"The roots of the Great Yu Dynasty are deep; emerging now is just paving the way for the king. This turmoil won’t last long." A robust monk, like a vajra, nonchalantly said while holding prayer beads the size of a baby’s fist in his hand.

He had been restraining himself for years and finally saw a glimmer of hope.

"Zhang Tai’a, the illness of the Great Yu Dynasty has already reached critical condition. Had you not intervened, perhaps it would have been better; your intervention has only made all the issues emerge. Heh, you may quell this affair, but it’s just the beginning," Xiong Chan muttered.

Then he resumed chanting the Rebirth Mantra.

In an era of great competition, heroes emerge, yet it also becomes a calamity for the common people.

He hoped that after this calamity passed, he could establish an Earthly Buddha Country, accomplishing a feat never before achieved by the Buddhist Sect.

For him, only by saving others, can he save himself.

Another monk then said, "Abbott, I heard that Heavenly Master Mansion invited Xu Gongming to attend the grand ritual. I wonder what Heavenly Master Zhang is planning?"

"This time, the Emperor has his eyes on Heavenly Master Mansion, perhaps it’s related to the Emperor. I haven’t figured out Xu Gongming’s approach yet. Better to mind fewer things than more, let’s not interfere in his matters for now. It’s a pity that last time, if he hadn’t stopped my people from retrieving the Red Moon Relics, we wouldn’t have released a demon monk, inadvertently creating a disaster."
