At the same time, this was also the matter that Left Minister Xie Jing worried most about—colluding with the enemy and betraying the country!
Zhou Tiance’s face was fiercely distorted, his tall body gaunt as a rail, causing his broad palms to be covered in protruding bones.
"Since my injuries recovered a bit, I continued to hold my post at Beixiong Pass. Each time I was stationed there, the Demon Court would move south to the pass."
"Many died, haha... Many young recruits from the vicinity of Kyoto Prefecture suffered heavy casualties, this happened every time!"
"Because of this, I, I gained the trust of the Demon Court!"
Zhou Tiance slightly lifted his head to look at Chen Yuan, saying, "Yuan Er, you are not me, you are the newly appointed Duke Jingye!!"
"There are things that I can do, that you cannot do! Only this way can we restore the honor of the Zhou Family!"
Chen Yuan’s eyes were slightly cold; he did not expect that everything Xie Jing said was true.
Grandpa thought he could deceive everyone, but in reality, his errors were countless.
Over the years, my father and Marquis Taishan Wang Xidu were stationed at Beixiong Pass and no incidents occurred, only when Grandpa was stationed did the Demon Court move south and cause heavy casualties.
Not only Xie Jing, but many observant individuals in the court had noticed that something was amiss with Grandpa.
"Grandpa, you were wrong."
Zhou Tiance nodded, his face bearing a sorrowful smile, saying, "I know my sins are heavy, I do not seek your forgiveness, only that you devote yourself wholeheartedly to family and country."
"This place is not just the Zhou Family, but also your home, the home of ’Zhou Yuan’."
"As for the grievances of the previous generation... let it end with Grandpa; you just need to focus on being a good Marquis."
Chen Yuan’s face was cold as he pursed his lips. Can it really end?
It cannot end!
The actions of Grandpa, not only can he not accept them, the Chen Family cannot accept them, nor can the entire Great Wei Dynasty forgive! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Tell me, apart from the matter at Beixiong Pass, is there anything else?"
"Previously, in the Martial World, evil demons and demons together attempted to assassinate Chen Yi, with people from Wuliang Mountain showing up."
"Master Lou Yuhuang was called by you, correct?"
Zhou Tiance nodded, saying, "That time, it indeed was Grandpa who sought out Master Lou, who is the Master of Guan Wu."
"And the Southern Barbarians!" Chen Yuan continued, "Master Xu Feiyan has links with the demons, selling out the information of those from the secret realm, was that also your intention?"
"Yes."
Thinking of Master Xu, Zhou Tiance’s face revealed a trace of bitterness, saying, "She and Guan Wu are fellow disciples."
"There’s also the conflict outside South-Garrison Pass, right?"
Chen Yuan bowed his head, even without looking at Zhou Tiance, he had already learned the answer.
Prime Minister Xie was merely speculating, but now he could be certain—Grandpa had done many things in the background!
One by one, each was an act detested by heaven and hated by people!
Even though Chen Yuan had already thought of the worst, he still never imagined he could do these things!
"Yuan Er, those matters are all my doing alone, they have nothing to do with you."
Zhou Tiance took a deep breath, saying, "Even if found out later, Grandpa will take all responsibility, never involving you!"
"Is that possible?"
Chen Yuan raised his head, his expression returning to its usual aloofness, saying, "Grandpa, you previously said this affair would stop here, I believe."
"However, I hope that from the moment I take over as Duke Jingye, you must not interfere with any matters concerning ’Hidden Dragon’ or the Devoted Army!"
After finishing, Chen Yuan glanced at him then stood up and walked outside.
"As for the ’marriage bestowed by the Holy Emperor’, I will take that responsibility alone!"
Zhou Tiance quietly watched as he walked out of the back yard, his spear intent closely followed him to the nearby house in the central courtyard, his face then revealing a faint smile.
That gaunt smiling face was like a ghost with only skeletal remains, both fierce and profoundly meaningful.
It is unknown how long passed; in the deep silence of the night, only the sound of light rain could still be heard.
Zhou Tiance no longer forced himself to sit upright, hunching over, sipping his drink little by little, occasionally coughing.
"Old Marquis, as always, you have such refined taste, very good, very good."
A voice suddenly arose next to his ear, Zhou Tiance’s body stiffened, then relaxed, his throat moved, his voice barely audible.
"Why are you here?"
"Some things need to be done, some people need to be killed."
Before the words fell, a dark shadow emerged slightly from the pond beside, only revealing a pair of pitch-black pupils staring at him.
"I haven’t yet congratulated Old Marquis for achieving his desires."
"If all heirs of the Chen Family were to die, this old man would be even happier."
"Ah, you still haven’t given up on targeting Chen Yi?"
"I’ve given up," Zhou Tiance said through gritted teeth, yet his tone was quite helpless.
"Last night, that bastard’s sword shook the heavens... I know, he’s tough to kill."
"Hard to kill doesn’t mean he can’t be killed." A shadow chuckled lightly, "Of course, I am also aware that now is not the time to move against him."
"Has there been a change with the Demon Court?"
"It’s just because killing him in the Tianyuan Continent would cost too much and not be worth the loss."
The shadow continued to extend its body, slid down the wooden pillar of the pavilion, and sat opposite Zhou Tiance, picking up the wine pot on the stone table and taking a sip.
"After the festival ends, they will guide him there, and then he will have lost his greatest support!"
Hearing this, Zhou Tiance also revealed a smile.
"I have only one request, let him die! Let everyone around him die too!"
"Alas, Old Marquis, why do you harbor such deep resentment towards him? It’s not just because he hindered the Zhou Family’s legacy, is it?"
Zhou Tiance paused momentarily, his gaze directly fixing on him, "That is not for you to worry about, think instead about how to achieve the purpose of your visit."
"Don’t forget, this is Kyoto Prefecture, not the Ten Thousand Mountains!"
The shadow’s twisted body seemed to shake a few times, its arms raised high as if surrendering:
"I’m so scared!"
"It’s better this way."
The shadow waved its hand: "Relax a bit, Old Marquis."
"I’m not entering the Imperial City; there won’t be any trouble. Of course, I will also avoid the Great Master and the Second Master, their Vast Energy is too terrifying for demons."
Zhou Tiance silently drank his wine, masking the murderous intent in his eyes.
Seeing this, the shadow once again raised its hands and said, "Alright, alright, I’m leaving."
"Let’s hope next time we meet, Old Marquis, you’ll truly have your wish granted."
After a long time.
Zhou Tiance snorted coldly, waved his hand to shatter the stone table, and stooped to leave.
"Yuan Er, I hope you do not partake in redundant matters..."
...
On the way, there was silence.
Chen Yi traveled thousands of miles and arrived directly outside the entrance of Wuliang Mountain in He Xi Prefecture, looking down on the peaks of the blissfully unaware Wuliang Mountain.
Especially the main peak at the back—his previous Sword Intent still lingered there.
"You recover quite quickly, in just one day, the mountain has restored itself."
Chen Yi chuckled lightly, his eyes void of any mirth.
He hadn’t traveled thousands of miles to Wuliang Mountain for sightseeing!
The altar within his body whirled, and thirty-six stars burst forth, a wisp of faint smoke enveloping the entire Wuliang Mountain and the area within a thousand miles.
As the Slaughter Sword Intent arrived, much like the Array of Wuliang Mountain, it concealed everything here.
Soon, some visitors from afar discovered in astonishment—they couldn’t see Wuliang Mountain anymore.
"Wuliang Mountain’s entrance is gone?!"
"What’s going on? Weren’t they recruiting disciples recently?"
A group of family disciples who had come to seek apprenticeship were puzzled, feeling that the situation was too bizarre.
However, some knowledgeable people comforted them, "Just wait patiently, Wuliang Mountain’s Sealing Mountain won’t last long."
"Let’s hope so..."
Chen Yi paid no attention to the travelers outside the mountain; after doing all this, he no longer hesitated and flicked his finger on the sword hilt of the Spring Rain Sword.
In the next moment, a trail of silvery-white light instantly pierced through the Array outside Wuliang Mountain, with the Slaughter Sword Intent spreading, enveloping the peaks of Wuliang Mountain.
In an instant.
Several Sect Leaders and elders sensed the overpowering Slaughter Sword Intent and appeared on the peaks, staring at Chen Yi outside the Array.
"Who dares to disturb Wuliang Mountain?!"
Chen Yi glanced at them, his finger slightly moved, and the Spring Rain Sword returned to his hand.
Indistinctly, a towering White Tiger quietly emerged.
However, it did not hover high in the sky as before but instead lay on the Array outside Wuliang Mountain.
Its four tiger paws easily pierced through the Array’s protective Spiritual Power, the tiger’s head coming close—
"ROAR!!"
As the tiger’s roar spread across Wuliang Mountain, only then did Chen Yi speak in a cool tone:
"Disciple of Sword Edge Mountain from the Grand Void Sect, Chen Yi, has come to pay respects to the mountain!"
"Would any of the heavenly prides of Wuliang Mountain dare to fight?"
