Chapter 212: Beheading, a visitor from Dai Viet Kingdom
The darkness fell like the night sky on the city of Lingyun Road, covering the entire Lingyun Road.

At this moment, everything was quiet. People had already gone to bed and the streets were silent.

On this night without any entertainment, there is nothing else to do except making little people.

The Jiaofangsi and brothel in Lingyun Road are the most lively places in the entire Lingyun Road.

But at this moment, no one knew that the yamen was also extremely lively, even more so than the Jiaofangsi.

Shen Bai stepped on Zhang Daoling's face. Zhang Daoling was stunned and couldn't believe what he saw.

It was as if he was left in the mountains during heavy snow and frozen into an ice sculpture.

Tremors continued to spread throughout Zhang Daoling's body.

This is not fear, but anger.

He didn't expect that after he said so much, Shen Bai was so reckless. He not only slapped him, but even stepped on his face.

He is the Taoist priest of Lingyun Dao. Even if he has committed a serious crime now, he should wait for the decision of his superiors instead of being humiliated by Shen Bai here.

"Shen Bai, you're going too far."

The terrifying words surrounded Zhang Daoling's body.

Zhang Daoling was ready to unleash his strongest strength at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm to completely defeat Shen Bai.

He felt that he was giving Shen Bailian a hard time, but Shen Bai didn't respect him at all.

But just as he was trying to gather all his strength, Ma Yuan next to him took two steps forward.

The same strength of the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm burst out.

"If you dare to harm Lord Shen, I will kill all of you, from your nine clansmen to your relatives."

"Qiang!"

The sound of weapons shaking could be heard.

Dozens of members of the Tianjian Division brought by Shen Bai drew their weapons and exuded terrifying strength of the Tianling realm.

Zhang Daoling was slightly stunned, and his aura became stagnant.

He looked at Shen Bai, and the anger in his eyes was rapidly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"A soldier can be killed but not humiliated. I am already a defeated general, but why are you torturing me like this? You might as well just kill me with a single sword."

Hearing this, Shen Bai shook his head and said, "I think you don't understand. You are just a prisoner now. A prisoner should behave like a prisoner. Killing you with one sword would be too easy for you.

Zhang Daoling said angrily, "Although I have made mistakes and will be beheaded in public, I have also made great contributions to Lingyun Dao. You must not humiliate me."

He did not take action because he felt the aura of many members of the Tianjian Division and Ma Yuan's words, which made him unable to move.

His wife is now pregnant, which is why he wants to kill Zhang Huan.

If the entire family is executed again, the Zhang family will be completely extinct.

It was precisely because of this that he knew he could not escape, so he took the initiative to wait here to surrender.

At least he could rely on his past achievements to keep his family safe.

Shen Bai sneered, "If anyone could use their merits to offset their faults, then the world would be in chaos. Do you know what the consequences would be if you successfully colluded with the evil forces?"

Zhang Daoling sneered, "That evil force wants to kill you. I know you care about your own life, so it's normal for you to be angry."

He was being stepped on by Shen Bai, but there was still sarcasm in his tone, as if he looked down on Shen Bai.

Shen Bai said slowly, "Xinhuo Academy isn't as kind as you think. If I die today, Lingyun Dao will be left empty-handed. They will then mobilize all their strength to attack Lingyun Dao and massacre the entire Lingyun Dao. By then, no matter how great your achievements are, what will be of any use?"

"The people were displaced, the casualties were heavy, and the entire Lingyun Road was reduced to ruins. This is what you, Zhang Daoling, consider good."

Zhang Daoling was stunned on the spot.

Countless ideas emerged in his mind, and finally, as if a flash of inspiration came to him, all the connections were opened up.

A trace of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

It is said that those who are in the game cannot see it as clearly as those who are outside. This is what is meant by "those who are involved are often confused."

Zhang Daoling was in the middle of a situation, and he didn't expect that there would be such terrible consequences later.

He will die, his family will die, and the entire Lingyun Road will disappear.

Not only that, his name will be engraved in history and will be cursed and whipped by thousands of people.

Zhang Daoling fell silent.

Shen Bai released his foot and said, "Seal all cultivation and bring Wang Teng back to the Heavenly Supervisory Department. Have him report to the capital-level city and have someone come down to judge and punish him."

He could see the fear and regret in Zhang Daoling's heart at this moment.

But in this world, your punishment will not be mitigated just because you regret it.

Those who deserve to die must die.

"Yes."

Ma Yuan agreed, then walked forward, circulated the Qi in his body, and tapped various parts of Zhang Daoling's body to seal Zhang Daoling's cultivation.

During the entire process, Zhang Daoling did not resist or say a word.

He was heartbroken, but also glad that he had saved his family.

A member of the Heaven Monitoring Division stepped forward and said, "How does Lord Shen wish to deal with the families of the Inner Court?"

Zhang Daoling's dead eyes regained a touch of color and he said, "Shen Bai, they were not involved in this. They don't even know what I did. This will not harm my family. I beg you not to kill them all."

Shen Bai sneered and said, "The Tianjiansi's work is entirely based on the laws of the Great Zhou Kingdom. If it is found that they have nothing to do with this matter, or even have no past sins, they will not be punished. You can rest assured about this."

"Ma Yuan, stop talking nonsense with him and just take him away. Also, send a team to surround the government office and keep his family under guard. Wait until the higher authorities come down to deal with him before taking any other measures."

Ma Yuan quickly accepted the order and then left the county government office with Zhang Daoling.

Some members of the Tianjiansi stayed in the yamen and kept watch in secret.

Shen Bai looked at the darkness in the sky, yawned, and felt that it was almost time for the day, so he walked towards the Tianjiansi.

He has further plans, but that takes time. Since it takes time, he will just have to wait.

Shen Bai planned to work hard to improve his proficiency while waiting.

Soon, the yamen returned to silence.

There was no one on the street anymore, as if no one had ever been there before.

……

Lingyun said.

In the bustling streets.

Marquis Ren De was sitting in his study at this moment, looking at the secret report in his hand, with a serious look in his eyes.

According to the secret report, all the evil forces including Xinhuo Academy were killed in this battle, but Shen Bai was unharmed.

Not only that, he had just received a secret message from a confidant saying that Zhang Daoling had been detained by Shen Bai and sent to the Tianjian Division.

Beside, the old butler was waiting tremblingly.

Seeing that Marquis Ren De had a serious expression, he poured a cup of tea and carefully placed it on the table.

Marquis Ren De came back to his senses and slammed the secret letter on the table. A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "Shen Bai is really lucky, but why didn't he attack me?"

This time, Marquis Ren De knew that he might have been exposed.

He even prepared to leave the Ren De Marquis Mansion as soon as he received the secret report.

But afterwards, there was nothing unusual.

His subordinates told him that after Shen Bai took Zhang Daoling away, he did not come to him, but returned to the Tianjian Division.

Marquis Ren De immediately suppressed his restlessness, but countless doubts arose in his mind.

Shen Bai's move was so confusing that even he couldn't understand why he didn't take action.

The old butler stood aside and said, "My Lord, I feel that Shen Bai seems to have not obtained any important clues."

After saying this, Marquis Ren De immediately stopped thinking, looked at the old butler, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The old butler organized his words and said, "Rumor has it that Master Shijue is decisive and ruthless in his actions, and he never gives his enemies any chance to revive."

"Zhang Daoling is an example this time. This shows that Shen Bai has completely controlled Zhang Daoling's evidence, and Shen Bai will not give him any way out. If our evidence is also controlled by Shen Bai, Shen Bai will definitely do the same."

"Shen Bai hasn't done so yet, which means our evidence is not sufficient."

This was the old butler's guess. In fact, in addition to being the butler of the Ren De Marquis's Mansion, he was also the Ren De Marquis's confidant. At the same time, he had helped the Ren De Marquis formulate many strategies on many occasions.

This time, the old butler analyzed Shen Bai's character. Although he combined it with some legends in the martial arts world, he felt that his analysis should be appropriate.

After listening to the old butler's analysis, Marquis Ren De tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

The old butler said no more. He was waiting for the decision of Marquis Ren De.

As a servant, you should say what you need to say, and after that, you should not go too far, otherwise the old butler would not be alive today.

About half an incense stick of time had passed before Marquis Ren De picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said.

"Send a reliable person to Xinhuo Academy and inform them of Shen Bai's whereabouts. Also, find out if they know that Shen Bai has the decisive evidence."

Marquis Ren De also considered what the old butler said just now. He felt that this statement was not entirely wrong, and it was very likely to be correct.

Shen Bai is a man who values ​​decisiveness. If he had really obtained decisive evidence, he would not have been so calm tonight.

If Marquis Ren De is afraid and takes his men to leave Lingyun Road tonight and go to the military camp to organize people to defect immediately, that would be the real evidence that someone has obtained possession of him.

He seemed to be blasting me.

When this idea emerged in Ren Dehou's mind, he immediately felt that this was possible.

No matter what, Marquis Ren De planned to collect some information first to determine whether Shen Bai had the possibility of blowing him up.

If the other party really has decisive evidence but does not take action, he must be holding back a big one.

If the other party does not have evidence, then he is still the Ren De Hou of Lingyun Dao.

Be more careful next time and plan more ways to escape so you don't leave in such a hurry.

"Yes, I obey."

The old butler immediately agreed and then quietly left the study.

Only Marquis Ren De was left in the study.

Marquis Ren De adjusted the oil lamp on the table to make the flame more vigorous, then looked at the night outside the window and talked to himself.

"Shen Bai, what exactly are you thinking? I am also very curious now."

After thinking for a while, Marquis Ren De blew out the oil lamp, walked out of the study and headed towards the bedroom.

Tonight is destined to be peaceful, but within the calm, there are hidden waves.

……

Time passed slowly and the night was over quickly.

When the next day arrived, the entire Lingyun Road fell into a terrifying turmoil.

Zhang Daoling has been detained by the Tianjiansi for violating the laws of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

When this news spread, the Lingyun Dao martial arts world was in a violent shock, and all the people in the martial arts world turned their attention to the Lingyun Dao Jiantian Division and its chief Shen Bai.

A trace of fear arose in the hearts of many people in the martial arts world.

Even they didn't expect that Shen Bai had made so many moves in such a short period of time.

In any case, at this moment Shen Bai has become the brightest star in Lingyun Road.

Many people in the martial arts world restrained their own forces and did not dare to bring bad luck to Shen Bai.

At this moment, Shen Bai was immersed in the crazy grinding of his proficiency.

After returning home last night, Shen Bai originally wanted to spend the whole night, but he never expected that he would be dragged into the space of the Art of Life and Death by Hongzhuang and Amber, and then he started a luxurious life of lovemaking.

I have to say, this stuff is really addictive.

When Shen Bai came out of the space of the Life and Death Object Storage Technique, it was already late at night.

Fortunately, he had strong self-control and spent the remaining half of the night improving his proficiency.

Now, all of Shen Bai's magical powers are at level 5, but only the Art of Life and Death is still at level 4.

What he was thinking was that he should first cultivate the Art of Life and Death to the second qualitative change.

There are only two more golden bridges left to be built. It is estimated that after the Art of Life and Death reaches level 5, Shen Bai will be able to build another golden bridge. By then, he will be even closer to the Void Transformation Realm.

Hongzhuang had a lingering smile on her face as she was making tea for Shen Bai.

The amber merged into Shen Bai's body, helping Shen Bai to practice the art of life and death.

Neither of them disturbed Shen Bai, but there were more than three people in the Tianjian Division.

Shen Bai suddenly stopped moving, and the space in front of him returned to calm.

Under the cover of Poxu's red eyes, he saw Wang Teng walking up the stairs with a memorial in his hand.

"Go and open the door." Shen Bai said.

Hongzhuang put down the teapot in her hand, nodded slightly, and walked to the door very obediently. After opening the door, she returned to Shen Bai, sat next to Shen Bai, and filled Shen Bai's cup of tea.

Amber appeared and looked around.

She felt that she would never be able to learn the classical aura that Hongzhuang possessed.

Of course, her owner wouldn't let her learn, so Amber started to act badly, still maintaining her mischievous nature.

Not long after, footsteps were heard at the door.

Wang Teng looked at the open door and was not surprised at all. After walking into the room, he closed the door behind him, walked to Shen Bai, and put the letter on the table.

"Sir Shen, the higher-level city has already issued an order regarding the outcome of Zhang Daoling's case. It's all in this memorial."

Don't underestimate the speed of the Tianshi.

After Shen Bai finished his arrangements last night, some people immediately began to act according to Shen Bai's ideas.

The Tianling Realm flew at full speed to the superior city, and one night was enough for the round trip.

Although there will be other Dao-level cities blocking the way, this matter is of great importance, so they can just ask a few simple questions and then continue flying.

So this morning, the memorial was placed on Shen Bai's desk.

Shen Bai nodded, picked up the letter on the table, looked at it carefully, and put it aside.

The above is about Zhang Daoling’s handling method.

Only a few words, but it had already announced Zhang Daoling's death. This afternoon, Shen Bai supervised the execution and beheaded Zhang Daoling.

As for Zhang Daoling's family, considering that Zhang Daoling had made great contributions to Lingyun Dao, he could be spared from death.

But they must live under the surveillance of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

This approach is actually extremely magnanimous.

If it were in other countries, Zhang Daoling's family would probably either be exiled or sent to the Jiaofangsi.

But Emperor Shengwu did not do anything.

Although Shen Bai didn't know what Emperor Shengwu was thinking, he felt that this approach was insignificant.

"We're ready. This afternoon, we'll take him to Caishikou for execution."

Wang Teng nodded and agreed.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "This execution must go smoothly. Citizens will be allowed to enter Caishikou to watch, but security measures must be taken around it."

Now that things have come to this point, Shen Bai plans to give Zhang Daoling's matter a perfect ending.

He didn't want to cause any other trouble.

Wang Teng quickly agreed: "I obey your orders."

Afterwards, Wang Teng began to investigate the next steps.

Not long after Wang Teng went down, Ding Quan came up again. After seeing Shen Bai, he quickly said.

"Master Shen, Yang Chuan has already started to act, and the plan is progressing steadily."

Shen Bai became interested. "I didn't expect him to do it so quickly. Okay, once his work is done, Marquis Ren De can be completely removed from Lingyun Dao. Also, you should work hard to cooperate with Yang Chuan and make sure he doesn't get too impulsive or reckless. We need to be careful about this matter."

Ding Quan agreed and then left the five-story building.

Soon, only Shen Bai and Hongzhuang Amber were left in the five-story building.

Hong Zhuang handed over the teacup and said, "The master has a meticulous plan. Once Marquis Ren De is eliminated, Ling Yun Dao will be completely stable."

Shen Bai took a sip of tea, gently pinched Hongzhuang's fair face, and said, "It's not completely stable yet. If we want to achieve true stability, we have to completely eliminate those three evil forces."

Although the three major evil forces suffered extremely heavy losses in the last battle, and even suffered damage to their foundation, they were not completely wiped out.

Apart from anything else, the leaders of the three major evil forces did not show up, only Wen Jing, the gold medal member, led the team.

Shen Bai felt that if these three guys were not completely killed, there would be no peace in Lingyun Road.

Nowadays, we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression.

Shen Bai's goal is to maintain internal stability. After eliminating Marquis Ren De, he will take action against the people from the three evil forces.

Hongzhuang gave Shen Bai a coquettish look and filled Shen Bai's tea cup again.

Shen Bai spun the teacup, the smile on his face growing deeper.

……

Time passed slowly, and a morning was gone.

In Lingyun Road, at this moment, many people put down what they were doing and headed to Caishikou together.

They received news that Zhang Daoling would be beheaded in public today.

This is the highest-ranking official in Lingyun Dao.

The people had never seen such a commotion, so they all rushed over.

At this moment, at the vegetable market entrance of Lingyun Road, Shen Bai was sitting in the main seat, with Wang Teng and Ma Yuan beside him.

Shen Bai looked at Zhang Daoling who was kneeling in front of him and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Daoling was kneeling on the platform with a wooden sign stuck behind him.

There was a look of despair in his eyes. After hearing what Shen Bai said, he raised his head and smiled miserably.

"I've been thinking about this all night, and the root cause of this is that I didn't raise my son well."

"I originally wanted to realize my ambitions in Lingyun Dao and ensure that the people of Lingyun Dao had enough food and clothing, but unfortunately, such a rebellious son appeared."

"If I had been more decisive, if I hadn't spoiled him so much, perhaps I wouldn't be in this situation."

He sat in his cell last night, thinking about his life experiences.

As the saying goes, when a dying man is about to speak, his words are good. Zhang Daoling finally spoke out his most sincere words.

He regretted it, but now that the matter was done, he felt no other emotion except regret.

Shen Bai looked at the sky, then raised the wooden sign in his hand and threw it on the ground: "The time has come, execution."

He had no extra words to say, because there was no need to say much to a dead person.

Regret?

The emotion of regret is seen in everyone who faces the death penalty.

But in Shen Bai's opinion, they were not regretting, but afraid of death.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Zhang Daoling really regrets it.

But whether you regret it later or not is not important, because the matter has become a foregone conclusion and the head must fall.

When Shen Bai threw the token to the ground, the executioner immediately picked up the wine next to him, took a sip, and sprayed it on the ghost-head knife.

The ghost-head knife emitted a burst of sharp energy.

When the Qi started to circulate, the executioner widened his eyes, shouted loudly, and then chopped off Zhang Daoling's head with one knife.

Blood was splattered and many people covered their eyes, not daring to watch the scene.

Shen Bai stood up and said, "The matter has been concluded. Bring Zhang Daoling's body back to the Jiantian Division and wait for the next Daoling to arrive. Then we will hand over all matters."

Everyone nodded hastily.

Shen Bai prepared to go to the five-story building to continue improving his proficiency.

But at this moment, his red eyes swept to a corner and saw a man who was dressed a little differently from the man in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

This man looks very young and exudes the strength of a celestial spirit realm.

In terms of clothing, it is the style of Dai Viet.

People who practice cultivation naturally won't judge their age by their appearance.

This person has the strength of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and must not be from the younger generation.

When Shen Bai looked at this man, this man also looked at Shen Bai with a kind smile.

Ma Yuan and Wang Teng were about to follow Shen Bai away. When they saw Shen Bai looking in one direction, they also subconsciously looked over there.

Then, he saw the man smiling at Shen Bai.

Wang Teng frowned and said, "Cloud Piercing Arrow Zhao Feng, what is this person doing in Lingyun Road?"

Lingyundao itself is a border city, adjacent to the Dai Viet Kingdom.

It is normal for people from Dai Viet to come here.

Although relations between several countries are tense, it does not hinder some simple economic flows.

However, in this situation, Zhang Daoling had just been beheaded in public when a man from the Kingdom of Great Yue suddenly appeared.

Shen Bai felt that there might be something fishy going on here.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai turned around and said.

"Cloud Piercing Arrow Zhao Feng, what is this person's origin?"

Wang Teng explained: "This person is a master of the Heavenly Spirit Realm in the Great Viet Kingdom, but he is not a Jianghu person, but comes from the Great Viet Kingdom's Evil Extermination Division."

"Evil Extermination Division?"

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "I know something about this organization. It seems to be similar to the Tianjian Division."

"That's right." Wang Teng said, "Their duties are exactly the same as those of the Heavenly Supervisor, but why did he appear in Lingyun Road?"

Shen Bai said, "He walked all the way to Caishikou before I discovered him. I have to ask you about this. How did you do it?"

When Wang Teng said this, his heart skipped a beat.

He could hear that Shen Bai seemed a little dissatisfied.

In fact, this dissatisfaction is normal.

After all, as a member of the Lingyun Daojian Tiansi, he didn't even know that a single person had come from the Kingdom of Dai Yue.

If any other director were here, they would have the same attitude.

Wang Teng immediately took two steps forward and said, "Sir Shen, I will capture him right away and interrogate him to find out Ling Yundao's purpose."

Unexpectedly, before he could step forward, Shen Bai pressed his shoulders.

Wang Teng was a little confused and didn't understand what Shen Bai meant.

Shen Bai said slowly, "He was able to get here past the eyes and ears of the Heavenly Supervisor, so he must not have done it alone."

"Marquis Ren De is inside, so he should have played a role, so there is no need to investigate."

"Just continue to secretly monitor Marquis Ren De."

Wang Teng reacted, thought for a moment, and agreed: "As you command."

As Shen Bai said, Zhao Feng's Cloud Piercing Arrow was able to bypass the eyes and ears of Lingyun Dao Jiantiansi, so he must have had help from an insider.

However, what Shen Bai couldn't understand was why Zhao Feng dared to appear on the execution ground so openly.

Isn’t he afraid that Shen Bai will capture him?

With this thought in mind, Shen Bai's gaze fell on Zhao Feng again.

At this time, Zhao Feng seemed to have finished watching the excitement and turned to walk outside.

Wang Teng immediately waved his hand.

A member of the Heavenly Monitoring Division stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Master Wang, what is the matter?"

Wang Teng conveyed Shen Bai's instructions again.

The members of the Tianjian Division immediately understood what was going on, and then they arranged their personnel to quietly follow Zhao Feng.

Zhang Daoling's head was chopped off, and the situation has changed again, but Shen Bai can still control it for now.

He didn't think any more about it and returned to the five-story building of the Tianjiansi with his men, and once again worked hard to improve his proficiency in the art of life and death.

……

On the other side, after Zhao Feng left the execution ground, he walked with a frown in his eyes, thinking.

The direction he walked was exactly towards the Ren De Marquis Mansion.

At this moment, several members of the Tianjian Division were following him quietly.

Zhao Feng stopped and looked back, knowing what was going on.

But he didn't take it seriously and continued to rush towards where Marquis Ren De was.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the mansion.

After learning of his identity, the two servants at the door went in to report.

Soon, the servant came out, opened the door, and let Zhao Feng in.

Seeing Zhao Feng enter the Ren Dehou residence, one of the members of the Tianjian Division who was in charge of surveillance outside quietly left and brought the news back to Shen Bai.

At this moment, Zhao Feng had already entered the study of the Ren De Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Ren De's face was extremely grim. He said, "Don't you know what situation I'm in now? You dare to come to Lingyundao so brazenly. It seems that the Heavenly Supervisor is behind you."

Zhao Feng spread his hands and said, "Don't be surprised, my Lord. It's no problem for me to come visit a friend. This isn't evidence. The Tianjian Division can't do anything to me. If they capture me, the Great Yue Kingdom will have something to say."

"When I came here, I looked at Shen Bai."

Ren De Hou raised his eyebrows and said, "If you had come quietly, they might not have noticed you. But you still ran to Shen Bai. You really don't take him seriously."

Zhao Feng shook his head and said, "My Lord, you're overthinking it. Even if you brought me in secretly, it would only be a matter of time before I was discovered. So, you might as well go check on Shen Bai as soon as possible."

"This man really lives up to his reputation. I just stood there for a moment and he noticed me."

Marquis Ren De fell silent and said nothing.

Zhao Feng continued, "My Lord, I know what you're worried about, but Shen Bai hasn't made any move yet, which proves he can't do anything to you."

"I came here this time to bring you something."

As he spoke, Zhao Feng placed a wooden box on the table and pushed it in front of Marquis Ren De.

Marquis Ren De frowned, picked up the wooden box, and opened it in front of Zhao Feng.

In the wooden box lay a round piece of jade.

The jade is emerald green and looks extremely precious.

"What is this?"

After a careful inspection, Marquis Ren De could not see anything different about the jade.

But he could sense that there was a special energy permeating within the jade.

"My Lord, we all know what you are planning. The Great Zhou Kingdom is already in turmoil."

Zhao Feng said slowly, "We all understand you want to leave yourself a way out, but the armies you command alone are far from enough. This jade is an extremely valuable treasure. It was crafted by the Grand Viet State's Imperial Master at great expense. It's called the Heart-Locking Jade."

After saying this, Marquis Ren De threw the jade back into the wooden box as if he had been electrocuted.

He stood up suddenly, a trace of anger on his face. "The Heart Locking Jade, according to legend, can lock the heart of a person. The person locked will be completely controlled by the other party. You want to control me? It's a foolish dream."

Zhao Feng smiled and said, "My Lord, we are worried about you. Only after you use the Heart-Locking Jade can we be completely relieved. Please use it in front of me now. After that, I will arrange for people to slowly lead your army from Lingyun Road to Da Yue Kingdom, and you will be appointed a general and a marquis again in Da Yue Kingdom."

"how?"

Marquis Ren De closed the wooden box gloomily and was about to refuse.

If he really used the Heart-Locking Jade, he would be able to escape from the turbulent Great Zhou Kingdom, but he would be no different from a puppet.

By then, he would have to do whatever Dai Viet asked him to do.

He was unwilling to do it.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng's next words made him like a wooden sculpture, unable to move.

Zhao Feng said slowly, "You've wavered between the three parties too many times. The Imperial Master said he predicted your imminent death, and the reason for your death is because of Shen Bai. You should trust the Imperial Master; he always has a plan that leaves nothing unseen."
