300 years ago, Heavenly King Hongwu slaughtered all the aristocratic families and sects in the world.
Other than an otherworldly sect like Daoyi Palace that ignored worldly affairs, even a large sect like the Baolin Buddhist Hall that had many Deity Realm cultivators could not escape.
The words “must kill” would never be forgotten by the disciples of the Baolin Buddhist Hall.
Now that someone actually wanted to do what Hongwu did back then, it immediately raised Kong Ci’s vigilance.
He had to kill this Cui Heng!
After Ren Yuankui and Wei Xiong received Kong Ci’s affirmation, they heaved a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, Cui Heng had been like a butcher’s knife that was placed on their heads. It could fall at any time, making them panic.
Of course, as a member of another family in Youzhou, Wei Xiong could have returned to Youzhou directly.
However, he was a little reluctant to part with the generous rewards after Ren Yuankui succeeded in ascending the throne. Furthermore, with the arrival of the Deity Realm Monk Kong Ci, he wanted to take a gamble.
If he won this gamble, he would be able to obtain great wealth.
“Thank you, Divine Monk. Killing Cui Heng alone can save all many lives in the world. This is an act of immeasurable merit.” Wei Xiong pretended to be impressed and said to Monk Kong Ci.
“Amitabha.” Monk Kong Ci pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist proclamation. He smiled and said, “Buddha is merciful. In order to avoid the calamity of burning war, this poor monk can only kill.”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a loud bang came from outside. It was the door of the county office that had just been installed not long ago.
Hui Shi and Chen Tong strode in.
“I was wondering where the flies were buzzing so disgustingly?” Hui Shi slowly pulled out the steel saber at his waist. His gaze swept past Ren Yuankui and Wei Xiong before finally landing on Kong Ci’s face. He sneered, “So it’s you, bald donkey!” “It’s you again, Chen Hui Shi!” Ren Yuankui was immediately furious. He pointed at Hui Shi and said to Monk Kong Ci, “Venerable One, this person is the saber in Cui Heng’s hand. He killed countless good people and snatched people’s farmland. He has committed a heinous crime and should be sent to hell!”
“Amitabha!” Monk Kong Ci still chanted the Buddhist proclamation. He looked at Hui Shi and said in a low voice, “Benefactor, I see that your True Qi also has the aura of Buddha. You should be sitting in front of the Buddha and chanting Buddha’s teachings to nurture a merciful heart. How could you do such a vicious thing?”
“Heh, the Buddhist temples plundered the land of the farmers and raised the farmers like serfs. How can they be merciful?” Hui Shi had seen too many dirty things in the Lotus Flower Monastery. He raised his head and shouted, “I’m promoting a decree from Lord Overseer for the benefit of the people. What’s so vicious about it? If we’re talking about viciousness, the things you people are doing are thousands of times more vicious than what I’m doing today!”
“Good, good, good! Benefactor, you have already lost your Buddhist nature. You have abandoned the righteous path and fallen into the realm of demons.” Monk Kong Ci shook his head repeatedly, his face filled with pity. At the same time, his body began to emit Buddha light, and his expression became solemn. “This lowly monk shall suppress
you!”
“Old bald donkey, I want to see how capable you are!” Hui Shi suddenly threw away the steel saber in his hand and clenched his fists.
He had already sensed that this monk’s martial cultivation was extraordinary. When he prepared to attack, he naturally would not hold back and had to go all out.
At the same time, a dragon tattoo appeared on his back.
Heavenly Dragon Mighty Bodhisattva Fist!
….
Three days later. Cui Heng received the news that Hui Shi had killed a Deity Realm expert from the Baolin Buddhist Hall in Luo’an County.
Ren Yuankui and Wei Xiong were also executed.
This meant that the new decree would soon be implemented in Luo’an County and there would no longer be any obstacles.
However, to Cui Heng, the greatest gain was not the Seven Emotions of Life that he could collect because of the political decree.
Instead, it was because when the Deity Realm expert from the Baolin Buddhist Hall was killed, his emotions were actually so high.
Through the Seven Emotions Gem, he could collect the seven emotions of all living beings.
After Monk Kong Ci was killed by Hui Shi, the purple light that symbolizes anger increased by an inch and a half, the gray light that symbolizes sorrow increased by an inch and a half, and the green light that symbolizes fear increased by two inches!
Apart from the fact that it was a little less diverse, this was almost the limit of what he could collect from an ordinary county.
Of course, it could only be achieved by personally managing it like Juhe County. If he only sent people to promote his decree, it would not have reached this level.
“In that case, should I prioritize collecting these three types of Light of Seven Emotions and raise it to the maximum height?” Cui Heng began to think about this path. It seemed feasible.
Now, the red and white lights that symbolizes joy and love were no longer the tallest. The increase in these two was not much, and it was only 1.5 foot now.
Thanks to the Bodhisattva Jade Bone stirring up trouble in Yuzhou, he had gathered a lot of greed emotion from the Peak Inner World and even Deity Realm experts. The yellow light had soared to two feet and six inches and was about to reach the three feet height.
Because of the Hui Shi killing Monk Kong Ci this time, the purple light that symbolizes anger and the gray light that symbolizes sorrow finally exceeded a foot. The green light that symbolizes fear had even exceeded the red and white light and reached a foot and six inches.
“According to this calculation, I only need the emotions of about 50 Deity Realm experts to collect the purple, gray, and green lights to seven feet.” Cui Heng fell into deep thought.
This was indeed very convenient, but was this considered walking down an evil path?
He didn’t think it was.
Clearing up these aristocratic families and sects was to the benefit of countless people!
He was also taking revenge for Hong Fugui, who had lost the battle back then, and Jiang Qiqi, who had disappeared after being besieged.
It was only right and natural!
But the problem was
Did these sects and aristocratic families have so many Deity Realm experts? This was the blind spot of Cui Heng’s knowledge, so he found Zhang Shuming to ask.
The Sect Master of Daoyi Palace was obviously much clearer about the situation of the various sects and aristocratic families.
“Does Lord Overseer want to attack these forces?” Zhang Shuming had become better and better at figuring out the “Will of the Heavens” recently. When he heard Cui Heng ask about the Deity Realm experts of the various forces, he had some guesses.
“That’s right.” Cui Heng nodded and said in a low voice, “These people participated in the siege of the Immortal Dawn Sect a hundred years ago and were involved in the siege of Hongwu 300 years ago. It’s time to settle the score.”
“…” Zhang Shuming pondered for a moment. “Lord Overseer, if it was before, the Deity Realm in the world should be as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Other than my Daoyi Palace and the Baolin Buddhist Hall, there are probably less than ten Deity Realm experts in the thirteen states of the Great Jin.”
“Then how many Deity Realm experts are there in the Baolin Buddhist Hall?” Cui Heng asked. He did not ask how many Deity Realm experts there were in the Daoyi Palace lest he make this old Daoist panic.
“Perhaps ten, but this information is not accurate,” Zhang Shuming replied.
“You mean that it’s different now?” Cui Heng noticed a key point in Zhang Shuming’s words.
“Yes, when you came here to take up your post, the Upper Realm Angels also descended,” Zhang Shuming said solemnly and explained the information about the Upper Realm Angels.
“You mean to say that these Angels are from the Upper World and are all at the Deity Realm?” Cui Heng’s eyes lit up as he smiled. “How many of these Angels are there?”
“Under normal circumstances, there will be one or two in each state,” Zhang Shuming explained. “There should be 15 to 16 angels in the 11 states of the Great Jin Dynasty. There should be at least one in the Seven Distinguished Families, the Baolin Buddhist Hall, and the Great Jin Imperial Family.”
“I see.” Cui Heng nodded slightly. He already had a plan in his heart, but he was also a little puzzled. “No Upper World angels have descended from the Daoyi Palace?”
“An Upper World Patriarch should have descended.” Zhang Shuming smiled bitterly. “But there’s no news this time. I feel that something might have happened to the Daoyi Palace in the Upper World.”
He finally saw an opportunity to tell Cui Heng this information.
Actually, Zhang Shuming chose to follow Cui Heng for a few reasons. On one hand, he wanted to pursue the unattainable Great Dao, and on the other hand, he wanted to seek help from Cui Heng.
The situation of the Daoyi Palace in the Upper World was not optimistic. If they did not have enough external help, the Immortal Dawn Sect might be their example.
“Oh?” Cui Heng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that and asked in a low voice, “The Daoyi Palace is targeted in the Upper World?”
“Yes.” Zhang Shuming nodded. “Lord Overseer, there’s something you don’t know. Although the Daoyi Palace has a deep foundation here, it can only be considered a new force in the Upper World. It’s not weak, but its foundation is shallow. Furthermore, because it’s an outsider force, it’s often targeted.”
“Outsider?” Cui Heng said in surprise, “Your Daoyi Palace isn’t a native of this world?”
But it didn’t seem like it.
The real outsiders were the Immortal Dawn Sect. Even their cultivation system was clearly different from the 20 realms of the Immortal Realm and the Mortal Realm.
“No, we are the locals of this world. Our legacy starts from the inheritance of the Dao God!”
Zhang Shuming shook his head excitedly. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Daoyi Palace has existed for 10,000 years. It has existed even before the birth of this world’s civilization.
“It was the Daoyi Palace that opened up the earliest civilization of this world. It was also the Daoyi Palace that spread the earliest martial cultivation techniques in this world. Moreover, 7,000 years ago, the Ancestors taught by the Daoyi Palace had already established a powerful country. At that time, there was no Upper World.”
“But the furthest history that this world can trace back to is only the Great Yan Dynasty 3,000 years ago.” Cui Heng’s eyes flickered as many thoughts appeared in his mind. He said in surprise, ‘The Upper World destroyed the original civilization established by the Daoyi Palace?”
“I don’t know.” Zhang Shuming sighed deeply. “The records of Daoyi Palace only contain a few words about 3,000 years ago. It’s obvious that it was deliberately destroyed by someone. Every time the Patriarchs of the Upper World descend, he’s very secretive about it.
“However, I still managed to find out a lot of information based on some clues. The Upper World first appeared 3,000 years ago. Some of the great aristocratic families that have been passed down to this day also appeared at that time, and they all have Masters in the Upper World.
“It was also during the Great Yan Dynasty 3,000 years ago that our Daoyi Palace’s Ancestral Master was forced to undergo the so-called ‘Ascension’ and head to the Upper World called the Heavenly Void World.
“To the Upper World, Daoyi Palace is just an outsider.”
“No, from the looks of it, this ‘Heavenly Void World’ is the outsider through and through.” Cui Heng stood up and sneered. “How did they have the cheek to scold the Immortal Dawn Sect as an outsider demon?”
At this point, he suddenly asked, “I remember that the Wang Clan of Langya has also claimed to be a noble family of the Grand Yan Dynasty. They are one of the Seven Distinguished Families. An Angel has descended for them this time as well, right?”
“It should be.” Zhang Shuming nodded at first, then added, “However, the Wang Family of Langya has once angered the main sect of the Upper World. It has been 200 years since an Angel descended for them.”
“I’ll know when I go over.” As Cui Heng spoke, he had already walked out of the inner hall. Golden light flashed around his body, and he instantly tore through the sky.
Zhang Shuming rushed to the entrance of the inner hall and looked up at the sky, but he could not even see the golden light anymore. He could not help but exclaim.
“This is a true Heaven Monarch!”
The speed of a Golden Core cultivator was extremely fast.
When Zhang Shuming rushed to the entrance of the inner hall, Cui Heng had already flown out of Changfeng Prefecture.
After that, it didn’t take long for him to cross more than 3,000 kilometers and arrive in the sky above Langya County.
He looked down at the Wang Family’s mansion.
