Too much fruit

Chapter 791: Quelling the Rebellion, Tubo Takes Action

The sky turned gloomy again, as if hinting at some bad change.

In the markets outside the Divine Capital and in the outermost city of the Divine Capital, all kinds of discussions could be heard, some expressing shock, some fear, and some speculation, with people discussing the appearance of the Candle Dragon.

The last unknown divine thought transformed Feng Manlou into a Candle Dragon and struck everyone's mind. Even those who were inside the house remembered it firmly in their minds as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Therefore, discussion is inevitable.

There were also many practitioners in the outer city, and some families even had people working in the government office or the Southern Heaven Division, so they were naturally familiar with the Demon God Cult. Maybe they didn't recognize Feng Manlou's identity as the eldest son-in-law, but they definitely knew the legendary Great Venerable.

When the Great Venerable had sealed the Emperor, he had already appeared above the Divine Capital. That dragon body that was as winding as a mountain range was seen by many people at that time.

Not to mention, the Great Venerable is also the leader of the Demon God Cult.

As the world's number one troublemaker and the man sitting on the throne of the Three Evils, he and the Emperor should be the most well-known and powerful people.

Therefore, the outer city is very lively at the moment. Even the series of strange changes in the celestial phenomena cannot stop some people from talking about sex.

As the Divine Capital is so huge, 90% of the imperial guards are still outside the capital, and the Yinlusi is obstructing the process, so the entire process is not strictly prohibited, and public opinion is allowed to ferment.

Even the connection between Feng Manlou and Dazun was secretly spreading, causing people to talk about it.

Whether Feng Manlou is the eldest son-in-law or the son-in-law is a major argument. The eldest princess who is now the regent is Feng Manlou's wife. Feng Manlou is related to Dazun. How will it affect the court? This is an even bigger argument.

In a sense, keyboard politics and sex are interests that men can never avoid.

Even ordinary people, after having a good meal, are willing to express their

In the inner city and the upper city, there are two other styles of painting.

The officials and wealthy families in the inner city all kept their doors tightly shut, as if they were oblivious to what was happening outside. Occasionally, there was a gloomy aura in the air on the streets.

As for the upper city, it is quite interesting as it is the city area for court officials and noble families.

A small area seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, there was a lot of energy and they were connected to each other, obviously communicating with each other through short-distance communication instruments. Occasionally, there were some figures flashing furtively, sneaking into the rich and powerful houses like thieves.

As for the other half, the energy was surging, with sounds of fighting and shouting continuing.

Meng Jun was dead, but his family members and followers were still alive. In order to capture the rebels assembled by Meng Jun, Zhu Huian led the remaining imperial guards, members of the Southern Heavenly Division, and some officials all the way out of the palace gate, and was unstoppable wherever he passed.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials who could stay in the court for a long time basically had good cultivation. Otherwise, not only would they not survive their political enemies, but they might even be assassinated.

There are too many people eyeing the positions above, so there's no guarantee that some of them won't take risks.

And the method of finding an assassin is also quite simple. As long as you can afford the price, there are many demon cultivators in the Demon God Cult who are willing to take action.

Even a figure like King Lu was assassinated by the Nineteen Gods and Devils of the Demon God Cult and was forced to turn to the ghost way, let alone others?
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials, whether civil or military, were full of martial virtues. Even if they did not fight in battle, they at least had to protect themselves.

So under the leadership of Zhu Huian, a fourth-rank official, the rebels were defeated all the way, and as their generals were killed, soldiers soon abandoned their troops and surrendered. Zhu Huian ordered the imperial guards to collect the surrendered soldiers, and he led his men straight to the Meng Mansion.

The Meng family rebelled, so their property would be confiscated, and the three clans might also need to be pacified.

That is to say, the Meng family is very powerful, and Meng Jun's daughter is the queen of the current dynasty. Killing nine clans might eventually involve the royal family, so only three clans can be killed.

In fact, these have not yet been decided in the court, but in the eyes of anyone with a discerning eye, they are almost certain.

Even married women, including the queen who was still in the harem, would not be spared. At most, the queen would be allowed to go away in a decent manner and not be implicated in the crime.

Half of the upper city was dead silent, while the other half was filled with fighting and energy flying everywhere; the houses in the inner city could hear the fighting from afar and kept their doors tightly closed; as for the outer city, because the divine capital was so huge, the long distance and numerous buildings meant that even if there were any residual sounds, they were drowned out by the wind and human voices.

The entire divine capital presented such a strange appearance, and this scene was clearly reflected in another world and manifested by a huge mirror.

In the underworld, in the underworld law department.

An old man with white hair and beard stood on a dark platform, looking at the mirror in front of him. Next to him stood King You, the Lord of the Yinlusi.

"Meng Jun is a young man who is a great man. He dared to seize the opportunity and give it a try. What's more important is that he and Chengtian not only hooked up with the Immortal Palace, but also got the Imperial Academy to secretly support them. Unfortunately, he is still useless."

Tu Bo showed a look of regret and said, "Jiang Li, that kid, just showed up and he was already defeated."

"Jiang Li should have used Ghost Gate as a way to return to the underworld. His mastery of Ghost Gate may be even better than Tianxuan's, so we were unaware of it. At that time, the ancestor was still in a stalemate with the chief priest..."

King You frowned and said, "The most important thing is that he can actually maintain his full strength."

This is the most important thing.

If only the soul had returned, Tu Bo would have already blocked the gates of hell and killed Jiang Li.

"The Jiang family kid is really insidious and cunning."

Upon hearing this, Tu Bo's face darkened, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Even I suffered a little at the hands of that kid. It's not surprising that Meng Jun would do this. Harvest the souls of these traitors and don't waste them."

Having said that, there was no trace of pity for Meng Jun on Tu Bo's face anymore, only indifference.

Traitors and rebels are anyone's business. Rather than giving credit to Zhu Huian, it would be better to punish them by the Yinlusi.

And after such a siege, who would dare to say that the Yinlusi had any ill intentions before?

As for why the Yin soldiers were deployed before, it was of course to deal with the eldest prince who intended to force the emperor to abdicate and the villain Meng Jun.

"Xuan Tong has already gone. The judges and soul-catchers in the bureau have also set up a dragnet in the outer city. No traitors or rebels can escape." King You replied.

Although Meng Jun is the only one who holds the key position in the Meng family, there are still capable people in the family, not to mention other officials and aristocratic families who follow the eldest prince.

But under the suppression of Zhu Huian and the siege of Yinlusi, they were destined to not cause any big waves.

Upon hearing this, Tu Bo no longer paid attention to the situation of these traitors and rebels, and waved his sleeves to turn the picture in the mirror to the imperial city.

After a fierce battle, the palace gate and the city walls were covered in blood, but now they have been basically restored to their original state, and even the damaged parts have been repaired.

Under the magic, all the blood was washed away, the defects were repaired, and even the remaining energy was dispersed. At least the external palace walls and palace gates have been restored to their former majesty, and the royal atmosphere has reappeared.

When the mirror changed the scene, a young man and an old man were seen entering the imperial city.

The young man was dressed in white and exuded a fierce aura. He was none other than Elder Yuheng of the Dinghu Sect. The old man, on the other hand, had an uneasy look on his face. Judging from his powerful aura, he must be a member of the Jiang family who practiced the innate Qi.

King You recognized the two men and said, "Dinghu Yuheng, and Jiang Clan elder Jiang Bowei. It was he who helped Jiang Li gather the Jiang Clan branches and nominated Jiang Li as the head of the Jiang Clan. He is capable, but unfortunately he made some mistakes. This time, the Jiang Clan's children attacked the palace city, but they hurt the Jiang Clan badly."

"It's not surprising that Jiang's people are born with a rebellious nature."

Tu Bo snorted lightly, looked at the palace, and said: "After Jiang Li returned, he did not go to Yongzhou through the underworld again. The Buddhist Kingdom should have been defeated, and he should go down. The Heavenly King has found a good reason for me to drive Ji Lingguang and Jiang Li down without using force."

"It's time to make those two explain Feng Man Lou's identity." King You sneered. This time, he didn't use force, but soft tactics.

After the news that Feng Man Lou and Da Zun were actually the same person spread, how could the princess still have the face to supervise the country? Even if she was shameless, the officials would not dare to agree.

No matter which side you are on, if you want the stability of the Great Zhou, you should think twice before getting involved with a dangerous person like Da Zun.

This is a noble cause and cannot be abandoned.

A dynasty cannot lack military force, because the one with the strongest army wins the world, but it cannot lack justice. Without justice, anyone can rebel, as long as he dares.

The kings who were enfeoffed in the south by the Ji clan had already had conflicts with the Divine Capital before. If they were given this excuse, I'm afraid someone would immediately rise up in rebellion.

This is the real risk of Feng Manlou’s identity being exposed.

······
······
After clan elder Jiang Bowen entered the imperial city, he and Elder Yuheng were taken to the north gate to meet Jiang Li directly.

Along the way, he saw ruins one after another, and in some places there were cracks in the ground, which made him secretly shocked.

Unconsciously, the branch son who was his last hope has reached his current position. In just a few years, Jiang not only returned to the court, but also defeated Ji and hoped to sit on the throne of the emperor.

pity······
"There is a traitor among the Jiang family."

The elder of the clan couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.

He could imagine how Jiang Li's political enemies would attack him. Feng Manlou's identity was one part, and Jiang's children's attack on the imperial city was another part.

On the surface, these people were simply trying to hit a rock with an egg, but some things were only judged by whether they were done or not, not whether they were accomplished or not. The fact that these traitors from the Jiang family attacked the imperial city was enough to pose a threat to Jiang Li, not to mention what was happening at Feng Man Lou.

With this feeling, the elders finally arrived near the north gate.

There were seven altars standing in front of them, filled with divine light, but at this moment they were slowly driven away by a dazzling brilliance.

Through the divine light of the seven stars of the Vermillion Bird, one can see a huge tripod standing tall. The light radiating from the upward mouth of the tripod repels the divine light layer by layer, like the rising sun, unstoppable.

A billowing hot current had already emerged, causing the clan elders and Elder Yuheng to unable to help but circulate their true Qi to protect their bodies.

"Shennong Ding! Could it be..."

The elder recognized the big tripod and trembled as he asked, "Jiang Li... Could it be that Sikong is going to be promoted?"

Being promoted to the third rank is such a big deal. Jiang is probably going to reach the top directly.

But the one who was promoted was not the Son of Heaven, so wouldn’t he lose the throne of the Supreme Being?

The elders of the clan felt both excited and regretful.

"It's not that easy to be promoted to Emperor Yan."

A voice came from the front, and the light split into two, opening up a path. Jiang Li was standing at the end, in front of the big cauldron.

He only said: "It's just stimulating the power of the Golden Crow. But as for promotion, it should be soon."

After all, Jiang Li has now reached the fourth level of perfection.

Defeating Wenshu was certainly difficult, but it also allowed Jiang Li to complete the final stage of Dao Fruit Fusion. Protecting the country, the law, and the Dao, Wenshu alone satisfied all the factors, which greatly advanced the progress of Dao Fruit Fusion. Later, the Buddhist Kingdom withdrew its troops, and the Great Zhou won, which led to another wave of progress.

As a result, Jiang Li's Dao Fruit was completed, and his Dao Fruit supernatural powers were able to exert all their power. Yang Jian's understanding of the Eight-Nine Profound Arts was also fully opened.

He was able to kill the old man Meng Jun with one move because of his perfect Tao fruit.

Otherwise, the number of moves would have to be multiplied several times.

The clan elder and Yuheng elder approached along the road. Yuheng elder nodded slightly to Jiang Li as a greeting, and the clan elder, after a brief hesitation, bowed and said, "Greetings, Sikong."

He no longer dared to call Jiang Li "boy" as he did in the past, and he didn't even dare to call him by his name, but respectfully called him Sikong.

At this moment, Jiang Li knew that there was a tragically thick barrier between him and the clan elders.

Well, it’s not that sad actually. After all, although Jiang Li and the clan elders are on the same side, there isn’t much affection between them.

Jiang Li simply thought of other people who had once been his elders through the changes in the titles of the clan elders, such as... Elder Wan.

He hadn't seen Elder Wan for a long time. He was afraid that the obvious change in status would make their relationship become distant. But judging from the current situation, it doesn't matter if they don't see each other. The relationship will always change.

As for the fact that the feelings between people will not change due to external factors, such as changes in status or strength, this is actually just a kind of comfort.

Although this situation does exist, in fact, most people think that the relationship remains the same, which is basically the self-satisfaction of those in high positions. They have the luxury of boasting that their original intentions remain the same, but the other party may not think so, nor dare to think so.

"Ugh."

Jiang Li sighed softly, then his expression became calm, and he said, "Elder, the Xiantian Qi that I taught has a flaw, are the tribe members dissatisfied?"

Previously, Master Yu absorbed the innate Qi from a distance, not only from the Jiang family members who attacked the imperial city, but also from the people who cultivated the innate Qi in the clan. However, they were exhausted at most, not killed like those who openly defected.

The backdoor that Jiang Li had set up in the past has now been exposed.

The elder of the clan was shocked when he heard this, and immediately replied: "Absolutely not. It is a blessing for the clan that Sikong taught us the Xiantian Qi. If anyone dares to be dissatisfied, he is a traitor and everyone can kill him."

"It doesn't have to be that."

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "I said before that we, the people of the separated families, should join hands and those who go first will lead those who go later. It would be hypocritical to say that I am equal to my clan members, but at least I will not abandon my clan members on my own initiative. The clan members should just take this as a warning. As for dissatisfaction, I don't care if I think about it in my heart."

"The elders must also do a good job of ideological work for the clan members. After all, most of the main family members have died now, and the Jiang family will have to rely on us in the future."

Most of the masters died?

The elder's heart trembled again, and he lowered his head and said, "Sikong Rende."

"Go back and talk to the clan members. Even if there are still people who have contact with the main family, as long as they dare to come forward and admit it, I will let bygones be bygones. After all, the Jiang family really has no main family now, and we have to clean up what's left of the main family." Jiang Li said slowly.

Wenshu is dead, and the three sons of the former head of the Jiang family are also dead. Some of them were slaughtered by Wu Zhen. Even if there are other people from the main family alive now, they will not be able to achieve anything.

But the Jiang family still has some heritage, and Jiang Li also wants to see the original version of "Gui Zang Yi".

Furthermore, there cannot be any more traitors among the Jiang family.

After all, we have to solve the problems left by our eldest brother and not continue to be involved in this mess.

A vertical mark appeared between Jiang Li's eyebrows. Looking towards the east gate, he saw a group of officials coming towards the imperial city.
