Origin System, I have a barren mountain

“I know that every emperor is accompanied by a national advisor. The person you mentioned, I had people keep a close eye on him as soon as I learned of his existence, and he was killed not long after.”

Wu Hua couldn't understand how the Imperial Advisor could know He Hei and still find a way to save him under such circumstances.

“Every imperial advisor died alongside the emperor. Although Liang Yu’s imperial advisor died young, he knew his fate from the moment he became imperial advisor.”

Wu Hua looked at the Imperial Advisor in disbelief. If this was true, why didn't the Imperial Advisor tell Liang Yu that she, his mother, wanted to harm him?

"No, impossible. He's so mediocre. Which imperial advisor throughout history wasn't brilliant and outstanding?"

Wu Hua wanted to affirm something, but she also knew very clearly in her heart that everything was set in stone and she couldn't change the future.

Even if she was an empress dowager in ancient times, her own face still showed the passage of time, with her age increasing day by day.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Wu Hua had no way back, so she composed herself and asked.

The Imperial Advisor liked the Empress Dowager's personality and said, "Give all the people you sent over to me."

The Empress Dowager thought the Imperial Advisor would bring up something very difficult, but to her surprise, he simply mentioned giving him all the people she had brought from the modern world.

Wu Hua was about to casually agree, but something felt off.

After all, with the Grand Preceptor's abilities, if he really wanted to capture these people, he could simply use his own mysterious group of people from the modern world to do so. Why would he need to ask the Empress Dowager for help?

"It's possible, but I didn't expect you, Grand Preceptor, to contact me for such a small matter."

Wu Hua immediately prepared to order someone to handle the matter directly, but the Imperial Advisor suddenly stopped her.

"and many more."

The Imperial Preceptor.

Wu Hua hesitated, unsure why.

“Among your people, there is one named Feng Sai. He is not simple. He is very wary of you, the Empress Dowager, not to mention me, the Imperial Advisor. As long as he is here, it will not be an easy task to take them all away.”

Wu Hua had heard of this Feng Sai; he was no ordinary person.

"it is good."

On Cheng Yunmo's side, along with the old ladies of the Zhang and Yu families, and a group led by Feng Sai, they stayed near the village and refused to leave. They even had Mu Yun's people prepare modern food for them.

Just then, Cheng Yunmo suddenly saw a black figure not far away. This black figure was very strange; everything around it was shrouded in mist, just like his own form back then.

The shadow rushed straight towards her when it saw her, and vanished without a trace in her gaze.

For a moment, Cheng Yunmo's mind seemed to go blank, and then a memory appeared, which surprised her greatly.

It is myself, no, strictly speaking, it is myself from modern memories.

Those unfamiliar memories suddenly surfaced, recalling how she had received help from many people in the modern era. Not only did they make Mu Yun pay the price she deserved, but they also kept a close eye on her subsequent compensation, which she had received in full.

The modern self is clearly an independent person, but in order to let the present self know the truth, she came from the modern world to tell her this fact.

"do not want!"

Cheng Yunmo suddenly shouted at Mu Yun.

Mu Yun was stunned; the order to give them food had not yet been given.

"what happened to you?"

The old ladies of the Zhang and Yu families could also see clearly that although Mu Yun's words to Lord Cheng had softened somewhat, he could not abandon the Empress Dowager and allow the people under his control to stand with Lord Cheng.

"Lord Cheng, why are you doing this? Even if you don't want to, it won't change anything."

The old lady from the Zhang family couldn't help but smile wryly as she spoke.

The Empress Dowager's power was something that ordinary people like them could not possibly contend with.

Cheng Yunmo originally knew that their use of modern food and drink would cause the loss of modern grain, but he did not know what the specific plan would result in.

Only now do I realize that the food belonging to individuals could disappear without a trace, causing them to starve and die of hunger for no apparent reason.

He Bai, it must be because of him.

He is an incarnation of the Black and White Impermanence, but he also possesses genuine divine power. When the portal between Xu Kingdom and the modern world was opened, some intangible things were transmitted to the modern world, which is one of the reasons for the strange phenomena.

Mu Yun was a little troubled. If Cheng Yunmo was unwilling to let him provide Feng Sai and the others with only modern food, then this was too much to ask of him.

"Cheng Yunmo, don't be unreasonable..."

Cheng Yunmo interrupted Mu Yun, saying immediately, "Mu Yun, I can send them back to the modern world. Please, don't let these people stay here any longer."

To convince Mu Yun, Cheng Yunmo opened his palm, and a phantom-like portal to time and space faintly appeared in his palm.

"A portal to another dimension?"

Mu Yun blurted out her name.

No, that's not right. How did he know about the portal?

Cheng Yunmo stared at Mu Yun with some wariness, but at this moment, there was no time to ask questions.

Cheng Yunmo walked up to Mu Yun in a few steps. When she saw the people behind Mu Yun looking at her with the eyes of someone looking at a dead person, she was not without fear, but she realized that if they stayed, more people would die.

"Cheng Yunmo, you're making things difficult for me, these people..."

Cheng Yunmo stared at Mu Yun, his heart filled with uncontrollable disappointment.

Indeed, it's quite laughable to have hope in someone who has hurt you like that.

Cheng Yunmo no longer expected Mu Yun's help and forcibly opened the illusory portal to space and time, sending Feng Sai and the others back.

Even in the time immediately following the teleportation, one could see Feng Sai and the others, their gazes filled with a chilling intensity.

Cheng Yunmo didn't care about any of that, and there wasn't time for it. He seemed to have suffered a serious injury to his soul, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted on the ground.

When Physician Zhang and Zhenying returned, this was the scene they saw.

The once healthy Lord Cheng collapsed on the ground, his figure barely visible and about to disappear!

Zhenying was startled by the scene and quickly ran over.

Physician Zhang had been thinking that it was a good thing that Lord Cheng was slowly turning back into a human, and that no one would secretly talk about monsters anymore.

However, Lord Cheng's condition, which had finally improved somewhat, is now getting worse instead of better.

Zhenying was terrified and kept looking at Physician Zhang, asking, "How is Lord Cheng's condition?"

The two of them went and didn't bring back any good news. Now, Lord Cheng doesn't know anything and things have turned out like this.
