“Master, I like peace and quiet. They are too noisy.”
The young Jiang Changsheng answered. His voice was very soft and he looked very perturbed.
Daoist Master Qingxu stared at him with a terrifyingly calm expression.
From this angle, Jiang Changsheng could clearly see Daoist Master Qingxu’s expression.
“I can’t see his eyes in my memories. Is this an illusion or have I returned to the past?”
Jiang Changsheng silently thought that it should not be the latter. If he were to return to the past, how could the young him and Daoist Master Qingxu not see him?
Could it be that his mind had wandered away?
“Changsheng, you’ve had your own thoughts since you were young. Even though I don’t know what you’re thinking, I’m very happy with your growth. It might be a good thing to maintain your current thoughts. There’s no need to change it.”
Daoist Master Qingxu said with a complicated expression.
Jiang Changsheng understood his thoughts. He said that Jiang Changsheng was low-key enough and did not cause trouble for Jiang Yuan. The people in Jingcheng did not know that Longqi Temple had someone like him. In that case, he would not be exposed to the aristocrats.
Back then, in order to protect him and suppress the Empress’ maiden family, Jiang Yuan sent him to Longqi Temple, thinking that he could deceive everyone. However, there were many nobles who wanted to kill him. They might be the minions of other princes or the bottom-level minions of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. Even though they were resolved by Jiang Yuan with the help of the Devil Sect, he survived mainly because of his survival system and his training since he was young. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Devil Sect.
Thinking of this, Jiang Changsheng suddenly understood why he was here.
Daoist Master Qingxu’s words made Jiang Changsheng understand.
He naturally remembered to keep a low profile.
Other than keeping a low profile, there were other things.
“Thank you for your understanding, master.”
The young Jiang Changsheng looked up and met Daoist Master Qingxu’s eyes.
Daoist Master Qingxu reached out and rubbed his head before he left.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Daoist Master Qingxu’s departing back and lamented in his heart, “Master, long time no see. The you now still have some warmth.”
He looked at himself when he was young. Under the moonlight, the determination in his eyes made him smile.
In the 8th year of the Dinghe Era, at the beginning of January, the Heavenly Strategy Army went to war with Xu Mang’s army. The war was as everyone thought. Xu Mang could not defeat the Heavenly Strategy Army.
The Heavenly Strategy Army was the elite army of Great Jing, and there were many Grotto-heaven realm generals among them. They controlled the strongest Luck Formation in Great Jing. They were not something Xu Mang’s army could contend against.
This battle caused the might of the Heavenly Strategy to once again resound throughout the world. The King of the Northern Frontier had also reappeared in front of the world, and he was in the limelight for a moment.
This vassal king had helped the previous emperor before and made outstanding achievements!
Even though Xu Mang had lost, he was not completely defeated. He merely retracted his position and gathered towards the Northern Xuan Province.
After the New Spring, the Heavenly Strategy army once again obtained a huge victory. Two consecutive defeats had greatly reduced the morale of Xu Mang’s side.
In the main hall of the provincial capital in the Northern Xuan Province.
A man in a black robe sat at the head of the table. He had a handsome face, but his right eye was blind and had a scar across it. There was also a strange black mark on his forehead, and he exuded an indescribable evil aura.
Xu Mang!
A character that stirred up the world in Great Jing!
Xu Mang swept his gaze across the soldiers and strategists standing in the hall. It was as if a king was looking down at his officials. The atmosphere was oppressive.
“My Lord, the Heavenly Strategy army is too powerful. Since we can’t contend against them, why don’t we abandon the Northern Xuan Province and continue to recruit troops in preparation for another attempt in the future?”
A tall and sturdy man spoke. His voice was like a huge bell that echoed in the hall. He wore black armor and had bare arms. His muscular arms were thicker than the waist of other soldiers.
Many people agreed with his words. They really did not want to face the Heavenly Strategy Army.
Xu Mang coldly said, “Incite trouble again? It’s easy to say. If we fail, the deadlock in Great Jing will not change for hundreds of years. Moreover, we will be killed and our entire families will be executed. Although I no longer have anything to worry about, what about you? Do you really think you can turn back? What kind of person is the Emperor and how sinister are those aristocratic families?”
His words were heart-wrenching and everyone fell silent again.
Xu Mang took a deep breath and said, “Don’t panic. I will observe the astronomical phenomenon at night. Within three days, something unexpected will happen to Great Jing. Our fates have yet to be determined, but this unforeseen event will be our only chance. Since ancient times, the insurgents have not had a good ending. Most of them only benefited the vassals behind them. I don’t believe in this. The heavens will assist me and the Vast Wave Army. Are you prepared to welcome the only chance of survival given by the heavens?”
As soon as he said that, everyone’s breathing quickened and hot blood surged in their chests as they shouted.
“We are ready!”
“Let’s do it! The throne must be fought for!”
“If we succeed, won’t our names go down in history?”
“Up until now, the Dao Ancestor has yet to take action. This means that the Dao Ancestor is also dissatisfied with the Jiang Family. It’s My Lord’s turn!”
“Hahaha, from now on, our surnames will be Xu. We will all be conferred the title of king and pay our respects to the emperor!”
When he saw that his cronies’ morale had been boosted, Xu Mang revealed a satisfied smile. He slowly leaned forward like a cheetah that was about to hunt, and his eyes were cold and sharp.
“The Vast Waves have risen. Whether it will sweep through the world or not will depend on your determination!”
Xu Mang’s words were not only for his subordinates to hear, but also for himself.
In the courtyard of Longqi Mountain.
Jiang Changsheng’s consciousness returned to reality, and his eyes became exceptionally firm. Looking back on the past, his Dao heart became stronger and stronger.
When he opened his eyes, Bai Qi, who was under the tree, hastily said, “Master, you’re finally awake. Something big has happened!”
The others looked at Jiang Changsheng. He had been sitting on the tree for several months. Everyone had called for him, but there was no response. This situation made them nervous. Now that they saw Jiang Changsheng open his eyes, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Changsheng used the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth to scan Great
Jing and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Half a month ago, the Northern Xuan Province suddenly encountered a meteorite that smashed into the battlefield, causing countless casualties to the Heavenly Strategy Army. They had no choice but to escape in defeat. Xu Mang’s army took advantage of the situation and pursued them, which increased their strength again!”
Ji Wujun quickly said, making Bai Qi secretly depressed. How could she steal her words?
Venerable Bai sighed. “In the face of danger, they actually had the help of a meteorite. Unimaginable. Could it be that he has the will of the heavens?”
Jiang Tianming was dissatisfied. “Why do you mean he has my will?”
The others started a discussion as well. The news about Xu Mang obtaining the help of a meteorite from outer space had spread rapidly, and it made him look like a myth.
After Jiang Changsheng heard that, he secretly asked.
“How powerful is the strongest expert behind Xu Mang?” [Requires 108,000,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
Around 100 million incense points!
Not enough!
Someone with a value of around 100 million incense points could summon a meteorite?
It was a little difficult.
Could it be that he had the same fate as Liu Xiu?
Jiang Changsheng’s gaze soon locked onto Xu Mang. Xu Mang was currently leading his army to attack a city in high spirits.
His spiritual will could already cover the entire Great Jing. He captured a special power on Xu Mang that was similar to the power of karma. This power was very weak, but it could activate the power of heaven and earth.
Could it be because of this power?
Jiang Changsheng said, “If Great Jing can’t even eliminate Xu Mang, then it’s time for a new emperor to rise.”
He landed on the ground and walked towards the temple that was the Purple Cloud Palace.
Everyone whispered to each other when they saw him enter the temple.
Ye Xun muttered, “I feel that the Dao Ancestor has changed.”
The others nodded. They all had the same feeling, but they could not tell how he had changed.
In April, rebels emerged from more than forty provinces in Great Jing. They were all followers of Xu Mang. They were attacking cities and plundering land everywhere, completely turning the dynasty into chaos.
The Emperor was furious and dispatched troops without restraint. All the vassal kings and provincial ministers began to attack Xu Mang’s army. In the mighty battle, more and more heroes appeared out of nowhere. Most of them were the children supported by the holy land of the martial arts world or aristocratic families. There were also Grandmasters from the martial arts world.
Yang Zhou of Longqi Temple led the Eighteen Constellations to wreak havoc in the Northern Xuan Province and nearly beheaded Xu Mang. However, he still failed in the end. More and more experts surrounded Xu Mang. Even so, Yang Zhou and the Eighteen Constellations escaped unscathed and their names shook the world. The world once again dug out the former reputation of Yang Zhou and the rest.
The Mu Family, the Yu Family, the Chen Family, and so on. Even some of Saint Qi’s disciples had entered the world to suppress Xu Mang.
As more and more people learned about Xu Mang’s evil deeds, the common people realized that Xu Mang was not a righteous person. He only wanted to usurp the throne under the banner of the common people.
October.
A general named Yang Zheng entered the world with the Yang Family’s disciples and invaded the cities of Xu Mang’s army one after another, causing his reputation to rise. Yang Zheng had nothing to do with Yang Zhou. He was from the Yang Family, the most senior family in Great Jing. His ancestors had contributed greatly to the dynasty, and the first empress of Great Jing was from the Yang Family.
After three hundred years of development, the Yang Family was already a behemoth in Great Jing and was on good terms with Longqi Temple.
Yang Zheng had three Grotto-heaven realm experts under him, all of whom were from the Yang Family. They were the three most outstanding geniuses of the Yang Family and were known as the three great generals of the Yang
Family. All of them had obtained more resources than the King of the Northern Frontier. The King of the Northern Frontier was only powerful on the surface, but in the face of the Yang Family, he was not enough.
For a moment, the world was dominated by Yang.
The end of the year.
Yang Zheng led the Yang Family’s army into the Northern Xuan Province. The three great generals of the Yang Family fought against ten Grotto-heaven realm experts alone, killing four and repelling six. For a moment, they were in the limelight. Even Yang Zhou and the Eighteen Constellations of Longqi
Temple could not compare.
Shuntian City, imperial study.
The Emperor was extremely happy as he listened to the White-robed Guard’s report.
After the God of Thieves asked the White-robed Guard to leave, he asked in a low voice, “Your Majesty, the Yang Family has deep connections in the court. Now that they have made a great contribution, I’m afraid it will be difficult for
An Chang to suppress them, not to mention attracting the hatred of the officials.’
Ever since the founding of the Jing Dynasty, the Yang Family had been influential. There was once a situation where two prime ministers with the surname Yang were in the same era of the dynasty. After they were suppressed by the Jing Martial Ancestor, the Yang Family kept a low profile. However, not only did the Yang Family contribute to the rise of the Jing Martial Ancestor, but they also played a huge role in the affairs of the Taizong Family. Even the relatives of the Jiang Family had to be polite to the Yang Family.
It was no exaggeration to say that in Great Jing, other than the surname Jiang, the Yang Family was the second largest family.
The Emperor said, “If he can’t win, then he is not fit to be my chess piece. He still has to die.”
He knew more about the Yang Family. The empress that came from the Yang Family was the Dao Ancestor’s biological mother!
With this relationship, the previous emperors did not dare to suppress the Yang Family excessively. The Yang Family did not know the truth and had been treading on thin ice without causing trouble. Now that the world was in chaos, the Yang Family had no choice but to take action.
“The three great generals of the Yang Family. Amazing. As expected of the Yang Family.”
The Emperor laughed out loud. Only he knew the other meaning behind his words.
The Dao Ancestor had half of the Yang Family’s bloodline, and the Yang Family had given birth to such peerless generals. It surprised him, but he also felt that it was reasonable..
