The Lone Walker

It turned out that Cao Zhengchun had been fighting with Zhu Wusi for many years and had long been aware of Zhu Wusi's methods. Therefore, he falsely conveyed the emperor's oral instructions to the eight major sects and cooperated with the people of the East Factory to rescue the relatives of the ten generals, which led to the scene just now.

Chen Fan had a strong mental strength and listened carefully. He couldn't help but smile and thought to himself that the old fox was the wisest. It turned out that the old ones were the wisest and he was still too green.

It can also be said that Chen Fan is too simple and is completely unable to adapt to the intrigues and schemes in officialdom. Chen Fan is simply unable to handle the conspiracies and tricks, so it is better for him to concentrate on his cultivation.

The emperor's face turned blue and purple, and his mood changed. As expected, falsely conveying the emperor's oral instructions was basically the same as falsely conveying an imperial decree. If the young emperor had not lost power at this time, Cao Zhengchun would have been punished for deceiving the emperor.

However, Cao Zhengchun did not say it openly, but told him privately, thus preserving his dignity as the emperor. He could not get angry either, so he could only keep the matter to himself.

"My dear ministers, please stand up quickly. It is rare that you are willing to turn from evil to good. I promise that I will not hold you accountable for your past mistakes. I hope that you will not disappoint me again." The little emperor no longer looked decadent as before, and said with a rosy face.

"We swear to be loyal to the emperor until death," the ten generals said in unison, then stood up and were ready to charge into battle with many other generals.

"Please wait a minute, everyone. There will be casualties in the fight. Please watch my tricks," Chen Fan stopped them.

The generals looked at Chen Fan in confusion, then at the emperor. Only when the emperor nodded did they reluctantly step down. After all, they were all under criminal liability.

If the emperor were to hold a reckoning in the future, none of them would be able to escape death. Therefore, they were in a hurry to take the lead, hoping that they would be lucky if their entire clans would not be implicated in the future. However, they had to obey the emperor's order, as it was difficult to disobey.

Chen Fan saw a divine light flash between his eyebrows, and in an instant a towering pagoda flew out from between his eyebrows, growing taller against the wind. In the blink of an eye, a hundred-foot-high tower appeared out of thin air, hovering in the air.

Chen Fan used all his mental power to push forward, and saw a terrifying suction force from the bottom of the pagoda covering Wan Sanqian's ten thousand cavalrymen, and the earth shook in an instant.

The ten thousand cavalrymen flew quickly into the air, and Wan Sanqian could still hold on with the help of the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan, but how could a mere mortal body withstand the power of the magic weapon? Three seconds later, the place where the cavalrymen had just stood seemed to have been plowed by a sky plow, with ruins everywhere.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fan hurriedly took back the Xuantian Tower. Even though his mental power was extremely powerful at this moment, it was his first time using such a magical weapon, so he was inevitably a little unfamiliar with it. He wasted a lot of mental energy and was a little dazed.

All this happened in just a few seconds. Everyone who came back to their senses was amazed. The little emperor's eyes were erratic, and no one knew what he was thinking. Gu Santong and Cheng Shifei also saw the whole picture of Xuantian Tower for the first time and were very excited. Only Cao Zhengchun had an eager look...

.........

"Impossible, impossible, how is this possible? The throne is mine, no one of you can take it away. I will make sure that you all die without a complete corpse."

Zhu Wusi saw the ten generals "rebel" and the ten thousand cavalry being taken away. These successive blows instantly made all his decades of hard work and efforts go down the drain.

It was hard to accept the reality for a while. Zhu Wusi looked like a madman at this moment. Yagyu Tajima no Kami beside him had no time to react and was slapped on the head. A moment later, the number one master from Japan turned to ashes, which was a pity.

Duan Tianya showed a look of pity on his face and hugged Liu Sheng Piaoxu tightly. She was already in tears at this time, and was held tightly by Duan Tianya, unable to move. She could only turn her head away and not watch this cruel scene.

Seeing this, Gu Santong hurriedly fought with Zhu Wusi again. Cao Zhengchun was also ready to take action. At this time, Chen Fan hurriedly stopped the two of them, and a machete appeared in his hand with a flash of cold light.

Everyone immediately felt as if they were in the underworld. Only Gui Hai Yidao saw the extraordinary nature of this precious sword, but he was silent at the moment...

Chen Fan closed his eyes for a moment, demonic patterns appeared on his face, and he slowly walked towards Zhu Wusi.

"I have a knife, please appreciate it, Lord God," Chen Fan muttered to himself.

Then he slashed at Zhu Wusi on the high platform with a knife. The inky black knife light was incredibly fast, the wind was silent, the air was like still water, the light was shadowless, and the sword left no trace.

This sword is like a hundred ghosts parading at night, unparalleled in the world, just like the sea embracing all rivers, all integrated into one move.

The sky and earth changed color, and the universe turned upside down. The sun and the moon were dim at this time, and they dared not compete with this sword.

……

After a while, Zhu Wusi was seen standing there. Chen Fan put away his knife and walked towards Zhu Wusi. He had tried his best to control the blade's light just now. Therefore, Zhu Wusi was already dead at this time, with only a small wound on the top of his head.

Chen Fan used the power-absorbing technique and in a short while he absorbed Zhu Wushi's power for his own use...

Chen Fan took a deep breath, and with the powerful mental strength combined with the internal strength in his body, in less than a moment he had spread his strength to every part of his body. If he could wait until it was fully integrated, his strength would be further improved. In this world, Chen Fan could be considered the best in the world just by relying on his internal strength!

……

At nightfall, the inner courtyard of the imperial palace was bustling with people, singing and dancing, and there was an atmosphere of peace. No one's faces showed anything of what they had experienced during the day. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten everything and were toasting each other, enjoying themselves.

The young emperor Zhu Houzhao was sitting in the first seat at this time, accepting compliments from the ministers in the court.

"My dear ministers, you have made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. Today, I will reward you according to your merits. I will grant all your requests." The emperor was very pleased and spoke loudly.

Chen Fan couldn't help but frown, thinking, if I ask for the throne, will he give it to me? He sneered and ignored him.

……

The next day, at the morning court, Gu Santong, Cheng Shifei, Chen Fan, Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao, Shangguan Haitang, Cao Zhengchun and others entered the palace to meet the emperor. Seeing them enter the palace, all the court officials and ten generals congratulated them one after another, and they returned the greetings one by one.

In the court, the shrill voice of Eunuch Sun was heard.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Everyone knelt down, except Gu Santong. Chen Fan did not kneel down. The emperor frowned, and eunuch Sun beside him understood what he meant and immediately scolded him, "How dare you! Why don't you bow to the emperor when you see him?"

At this time, the emperor said, "How dare you, you dog slave! You are blind. Chen Xianchang is a person from the outside world, so he naturally does not need to abide by these worldly rules. Slap your mouth yourself."

……

"As for the hero Gu, he is the father of Jun Ma Cheng Shifei, so he is naturally my elder. There is no need to kneel down and worship him."

Looking at the two people singing in unison, Chen Fan became a little impatient.

"My dear ministers, please stand up," said the emperor while sitting on the dragon throne.

……

At this time, Eunuch Sun's shrill voice came:

"Ten generals, you have admitted your mistakes and are able to correct them. The emperor is so gracious that he pardons your crimes and reduces your salaries by half. You will all return to your respective regions and continue to defend the borders."

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

"Jun Ma Cheng Shifei is conferred the title of Marquis of Joyful God. He only has a salary but no official position, and he will not be involved in state affairs. From now on, he will accompany the princess day and night." The emperor said with a smile.

Cheng Shifei said helplessly, "Ah, then wouldn't I be miserable?" As expected, all married men are like this. Even Cheng Shifei's Vajra Indestructible Power could not withstand the princess's excessive demands day and night.

"Thank you, brother," Princess Yunluo replied shyly.

Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yidao, and Shangguan Haitang looked at each other. When the emperor was about to speak, Duan Tianya spoke first: "Your Majesty, we three only hope that Your Majesty will allow us to retire and never step into the martial arts world again."

"Yes, the treacherous officials in the court have been wiped out. Your Majesty, please allow me to retire."

It's a pity that the young emperor has just secured the throne, so how can he give up such talents?

"You are wrong. I only want you two to take over the position held by my uncle..."

……

"But we, the ministers, really do not want to collect intelligence and steal people's privacy anymore..."

"Who said I want you to do these things? I just want you to accept the Hulong Villa, cultivate heroes for the country, and change the Hulong Villa into the Humin Villa. The purpose is to redress the grievances of the people, punish these corrupt officials, rectify the country's laws, and purify the world." said the emperor.

The emperor had said so much, and the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no choice but to agree. Refusing would be ungrateful. Moreover, the emperor and everyone else tacitly did not mention the matter of Liu Sheng Piao Xu, and it was obvious that he was trying to win them over...

Alas, it is always the honest people who suffer the most...
