Chapter 1169: Chapter 1167- New Grand Teacher

“After he is beheaded, please let a spirit master trap his soul within his head!”


The voices in the hall all became totally silent, everyone looked towards Shiyue with a weird expression.


If they hadn’t heard wrongly, he was the person who spoke.


Shiyue didn’t bother at all, saying calmly, “This person is so rude and arrogant. He doesn’t respect Your Majesty. Just beheading him like that is too easy on him. Since Your Majesty wants to hang his head on the city wall and let him see our Great Shang rise up, then why not leave his soul and let him personally witness it, whether or not Great Shang would die in three years? I also want to know, his name is Buhui, so will he really not regret his words?”


Yinyu listened quietly. At the start, his eyes were filled with unhappiness. Moments later, they were filled with mocking intent, looking towards Shiyue with a teasing look, “Shiyue, you want to protect his life? You really are putting in a lot of effort! I heard that your relationship with Zong Shou is not bad and you cared for one another?”


Shiyue kept silent. This was the only thing that he could do for Jin Buhui. He remembered the favour that he owed Zong Shou a few years ago in his heart. This might be his only chance to pay him back.


“It is okay to do what you suggested!”


Just as the atmosphere in the hall became suppressed, Yinyu suddenly laughed, “However, I deeply hate this kid! This kid should be killed, I can leave his soul but I can’t let him live well, each seven days we have to torment him…”


Shiyue’s expression changed slightly. He also knew that this thing was decided and couldn’t be changed, so no matter how he tried to persuade, it was useless. Yinyu was intelligent and wasn’t so dumb that other people could cheat and hide from.


However, if Zong Shou wasn’t able to save him, JIn Buhui’s life these next few hundred years would be worse than death.


Even if he managed to break free, he wouldn’t be able to improve in terms of cultivation.


He sighed and he stepped back to his original spot. His face became solemn and he stopped looking over.


The only thing that he couldn’t predict was that after the lost in the south, Yinyu who had gotten the twelve Copper Men had totally abandoned his magnanimous and forgiving image.


At this moment, another person stepped out from the ministers. It was a Minister from the Ministry of Rites.


“Your Majesty, Great Gan’s envoy has entered the city to meet you. He said that the Dark World Demon Court is attacking Tianfang World and is less than ten days from the Cloud World. Great Gan and Great Shang are both facing their brunt. Please send troops to defend against the Night Demon Army too. Such that the alien race flames of war wouldn’t burn the Cloud World!”


“Requesting assistance?”


Yinyu was slightly interested and said curiously, “With how arrogant that Zong Shou is, he is willing to lower his head and ask for help from Great Shang?”


That official bowed and then said in detail, “Great Gan’s Ruler disappeared and till date, several days passed and there hasn’t been an outcome yet. I only heard that he is still alive but one doesn’t know the exact situation. This Grade Gan envoy was sent on orders from their Cabinet.”


“On orders from the Cabinet? Then why didn’t Minster Li chase him out from the Imperial City? Do you agree with his words? You feel that his words make sense?”


Yinyu’s eyes turned cold as he asked, causing that Minister Li’s face to turn white.


Advisor Zuoxin laughed coldly, “Only thinking about asking help from Great Shang now? However, before this we never saw Zong Shou give our Great Shang army mercy. We help them now to let them relax and then allow them to attack us in the future?”


Minister Li was helpless, saying in fear, “I misjudged the situation, Your Majesty please don’t be angry! I heard that the Dark World Demon Court has billions of troops and they control four hundred worlds and have seventy Jiedu Ministers. They once swept the Cloud World and killed three Saint Emperors of our world. Great Shang is also located in the mid plains and will face them head on. Hearing that their army is about to attack us, I panicked.”


“If we lose Tianfang World then so be it. I naturally have a way to force back their army! Minister Li you worry too much.”


Yinyu said this, but he was thinking of something else. The person in front of him was just too soft and wasn’t suitable for being the minister. It was best that he didn’t have power.


In the next moment, a passage of words stabbed into his Soul Ocean.


…Your Majesty is guilty and as such won’t listen to my words. You see officials as grass, as pawns and not the core of the dynasty.


It was one of the documents that Zuoxin recorded down, one of the many words that Jin Buhui said.


Yinyu’s face instantly turned green and white, temporarily shelving his thoughts about scolding and sacking the minister. He said seriously, “However, it is not impossible for our Great Shang to send troops! We need Zong Shou to hand over the five states of land he occupied in Jiangnan, also hand over South Wind Cloud Continent and then I will send troops to help!”


After slightly hesitating he laughed coldly, “Apart from that, I saw how beautiful his Concubine Kong was. Recently, I have been thinking about her and I can invite her to enter the Imperial City as my hostage…”


Before he finished, everyone looked at Yinyu with shock on their faces.


No matter what, those words shouldn’t have been said by the Ruler of a country.


They all felt that this Emperor Yuanchen wasn’t right and he was different from usual.


Be it the way he dealt with Jin Buhui or the words he said, he was different from before.


Zuoxin’s face was filled with surprise and he instinctively wanted to persuade him.


In the next moment, Yuanchen looked over coldly. It was extremely cold, causing him to feel a chill down his spine. He immediately kept quiet and lowered his head.


To anger Yinyu now was definitely not a wise decision.


These requirements were really strict and Yinyu probably just wanted to insult Zong Shou and vent his frustration. Thinking about it, it wasn’t much.


If Great Gan really agreed, the one that lost face would just be Zong Shou and Great Gan.


Shiyue understood something. Was this because Yinyu had swallowed the Qin Emperor’s Dragon Energy and True Spirit?


The history books said the Qin Emperor was violent. Although the King Path Martial Arts that Yinyu learnt was strong, after all his Martial Path foundations were weak and he was influenced by the true spirit. So that was to be expected.


Legend had it that a dragon had one scale that was opposite from the rest, if it was touched, the dragon would die!


Zong Shou was a true dragon. Yinyu did two things today that touched his bottom line. Who knew how Zong Shou was going to react?


Shiyue shook his head and felt that Jin Buhui’s words were right, that Yinyu lost his bearings to protect Great Shang.


To appease the masses, he tried to draw in the aristocratic families and Confucian Faction, causing corruption to rise. He was unable to see himself clearly and didn’t know what was going on in his land.


Even if he had the twelve Copper Men on hand, he lost the hearts of all his people. There was chaos all around, the only few peaceful lands were squeezed dry by high taxes and the people there couldn’t take it anymore.


Without dozens of years of good rule, it would be tough to calm them all.


In just half a year, they wanted to start war once more. To Shiyue, it was too crazy.


As for Great Gan, they had fewer land than Great Shang. If they really fought, they might not really be weaker. When they were forced, they could gather 100% more troops when they wanted.


If Zong Shou used Saint King identity to call men to fight against the Night Demons, the world would definitely follow him. His aura would definitely be stronger than before.


Anyone with a brain would know that Night Demon arriving would be a huge calamity for the Cloud World.


Wouldn’t Yinyu be too arrogant just by thinking that he was perfectly fine with twelve Copper Men at hand?


His foundations were unstable and even with this Country Protecting Weapon, he wouldn’t be able to protect the luck of the country.


However, at the moment, Yinyu did have the ability to not be afraid. Unless Zong Shou was able to chase the Night Demons away or if he stepped into End Realm, there was nothing he could do about Yinyu.


Just as he was deep in thought, another person among the officials spoke, “During the Dragon Falling Plains battle, Zong Shou was despicable! Such that 90% of our Great Shang elites were wiped out. Please rebuild the Imperial Guards! Train a million Dao Soldiers!”


Immediately, people opposed it, “A million Dao Soldiers? However, where will our Great Shang have so much money? The land is facing disasters and requires funds. The chaos all around needs to be suppressed. The spiritual wave has been rising and it isn’t going to dry up. There are floods all around and the dams aren’t repaired, all these need money…”


“During the battle in the south, we needed to provide the army rations for the Hundred Victory Pass. We have used up all our stored rations and we can’t do anymore!”


“Those words aren’t true! With our taxes, we still have some extra. It is okay if we increase taxes. The people would be willing to help the country. At most in two to three years, we could reduce the taxes, allowing the people to rest up!”


“There is actually no need to increase the taxes. We have many mines. Recently, we have failed to find them and many fell into the pockets of the aristocratic families. There are also many corrupted officials who pocketed the mines. As long as we investigate, naturally we will have the funds to raise an army!”


Shiyue listened on quietly and glanced at Emperor Yuanchen. He was listening expressionlessly, his eyes were filled with a mocking expression.


Shiyue had an idea, was everything purposely planned by him?


His heart sank once more as he shook his head. No matter if it was or not, this meant that Yinyu was prepared to work on the various officials who were rewarded with land.


It was a right decision but he was too anxious and he didn’t have a close look at himself.


However, this matter didn’t concern him, so he wouldn’t say anything to oppose.


Since things had reached such a state, he had gotten dispirited. To say that he was loyal would be him lying to himself.


Only after another hour of meeting did the discussion stop.


Then, they discussed Yinhan. He had disappeared for seven days and no one knew whether he was dead or alive. They only knew that this person entered the Qin Emperor Tomb a few days ago.


Yinyu’s expression was filled with sadness and anxiousness.


However, for some reason, Shiyue felt that Yinyu didn’t bother about the life and death of Yinhan and was instead happy if he died.


Thinking about it, one knew about the reason. Swallowing Qin Emperor Dragon Energy and the True Spirit, Yinyu’s lifespan had extended and could rule for another 200 years. So, why did he need a crown prince?


The officials were discussing but Shiyue suddenly felt something. He used his spirit eye to look into the distance.


Only to see a black robed male who gave off a special charm standing there.


“I am Li Biexue! I am willing to become the new Grand Teacher of Great Shang…”


Shiyue’s pupils constricted and then he broke into a laugh. So, it was the Wushang Yuan Demon, no wonder! This was the reason why Yinyu didn’t fear the aristocratic family and was so arrogant.
