Yang Chutao sneered, "I advise the Grand Secretary Xi that the current Jing Kingdom is no longer the Jing Kingdom of the past. If you insist on doing it, you will be doomed! I advise you to stop before it is too late, otherwise when Fang Xusheng takes action, you are all chickens and dogs, and you will not be able to withstand a single blow!"
"Hahahaha... He is now a big scholar who can barely protect himself, so how can he talk about taking action!"
After Xi Shi finished speaking, he looked up in the direction of the capital of Jing State, and then said while looking into the distance: "This general will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. After a quarter of an hour, you will see the sky in the capital change. If you are still stubborn by then, don't blame this general for being cruel and ruthless!"
At the same time, at the source of the Yangtze River, in the Kunlun Mountains in the west.
Many dragons roared excitedly, releasing surges of dragon power that fell into the Yangtze River.
It seemed as if the Yangtze River was suddenly cut in half, forming a section. The water upstream of the section was still flowing, but after touching the section, it disappeared and no one knew where it was flowing to.
There is no more water replenishing the downstream of the section from upstream, exposing the dry riverbed, and the dry area continues to expand.
The Jiaosheng Palace is located at the junction of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea. As the flow of the Yangtze River stops, the aura of the Jiaosheng Palace is constantly declining.
Jingguo, the Jingjiang wharf outside the capital.
Many eclectic scholars, led by Liu Shan, boarded horse-drawn carriages and headed for the capital. They soon arrived at the south gate of the capital and got off the carriages.
It was not yet four o'clock in the morning, and the gates of the capital were closed. Some farmers who were preparing to go into the city to buy vegetables were waiting outside the gate. They looked at Liu Shan and others at a loss.
Liu Shan raised his head, looked at the South City Gate, and smiled indifferently.
"I originally thought that I would have a chance to return only after I became a great scholar, but Fang Yun gave me a great opportunity. If I could meet Fang Yun, I would definitely reward him handsomely. What I am most satisfied with is that Fang Yun acknowledged my way of governing the court and did not drive away all the old subordinates of the Left Prime Minister's Office. With such a broad mind, he is worthy of being called a virtual saint. When I take over the Left Prime Minister's Office again, I will never drive away the old subordinates of that year and will make use of them one by one!"
Ji Wu smiled and said, "Master, you are truly a very generous person. If those people knew, they would surely be very grateful and follow you wholeheartedly."
Guan Che followed up with flattery, "Mr. Liu, I don't recommend you to meet Fang Yun. If you scare Fang Yun to death, the Holy Academy will definitely cause trouble for you."
Everyone laughed.
The farmers nearby heard the reckless conversation of these people and vaguely guessed Liu Shan's identity.
Someone secretly spat, and the others slowly moved away, most of them showing disgust.
Ji Wu asked: "Master, when will the holy power of the Miscellaneous School descend?"
Liu Shan looked up at the sky and did not answer immediately. After a long while, he said with a hint of pride and joy: "Here it comes!"
Everyone looked up at the sky.
Then, a dark crack appeared in the sky, spanning 30,000 miles and constantly expanding!
Around the crack, strong winds blew and thunder flashed, as if the devil had descended to the world.
When the width of the crack exceeded a thousand miles, a huge seal descended from the crack and slowly fell down.
The jade seal was larger than the entire capital city. On the top of the seal was a lifelike nine-headed dragon statue. The dragon was glowing with light, as if it were a living creature that could swoop down at any time.
Below the jade seal, there are red marks and engravings.
Mandated by Heaven, eternal prosperity!
The surging holy power of the various schools enveloped the imperial seal, just like an ancient ferocious beast, standing proudly in the world, looking down on the world.
Except for Liu Shan, all the scholars present were extremely surprised.
"… This… Isn't this the legendary imperial seal? How did it suddenly appear here? How did it become a sacred object of the Zajia family?"
"The Za family really has hidden power. The Jing Kingdom is so weak that it cannot withstand a single blow!"
"The Imperial Seal, the fate of the Qin Empire, what are the fate of the Jing Kingdom and the Fang Kingdom?"
"No wonder Mr. Liu never worries about Fang Yun. In this case, the winner is already decided!"
"Haha, from today on, the Miscellaneous School will surely be ranked first among the Hundred Schools of Thought after Confucianism. Even the Legalists will find it difficult to compete with them!"
The huge imperial seal was slowly pressed down.
The sword of the country and society, which represents the destiny of the Jing State, tried desperately to block it, but it was far from being the opponent and was quickly defeated.
At this moment, a ray of clear light shot up into the sky from the Zuo Xiang Pavilion and transformed into a magical beast, Xiezhi, which charged head-on at the imperial seal.
Liu Shan's face darkened, and Ji Wu said in shock: "It was that magic beast that killed so many of our comrades!"
"It doesn't matter. We have our own strategies for dealing with the imperial seal," Guan Che said.
The nine-headed dragon on the imperial seal suddenly came to life and transformed into nine jade dragons with flesh and blood. They soared into the air, left the seal, and flew towards the magic beast.
The magic beast is pitch black all over, shaped like a unicorn, with a single horn on its head. It is not afraid even if it is outnumbered alone.
The nine-headed dragon is like a king or a saint, carrying tremendous divine power, and its overall strength is far superior to that of magical beasts.
After just a dozen breaths, the magic beast was at a disadvantage and was forced to defend passively, facing the violent attack of the nine-headed dragon.
Liu Shan and other scholars of various schools of thought felt a little relieved and were no longer worried. They all praised the Legalists for their strength.
Just as the magic beast was about to be defeated, a clear light rose again from the Left Prime Minister's Pavilion in the capital.
Then a huge ancient black book flew up and hovered behind the magic beast, blending with the beast's aura.
A moment later, the magic beast roared towards the sky, and the inexplicable power of the world broke through the air and merged into the magic beast's body.
The body of the magic beast continued to expand, and finally it was a hundred miles long, and it continued to fight with the nine-headed dragon.
Although the nine-headed dragon was powerful, it could not do anything to the magical beast blessed by the Holy Code, and the two sides were temporarily deadlocked.
Non-literate people cannot see this battle at all, but even insects can feel the terrible power surging in the sky.
In the capital city, whether it was pigs, dogs, chickens or ducks, all of them were lying on the ground trembling, and many were frightened to death.
Countless sleeping people woke up from their dreams, feeling uneasy but unable to find the reason.
All the babies woke up suddenly. They were so frightened that they became incontinent but dared not cry.
A large number of readers walked out of the room, horrified.
The busy cabinet suddenly became quiet. All the officials put down their work, went outside and looked at the sky.
The thrilling battle of the holy way began in the sky above the capital.
Far away in Ding County, Xiangzhou, scholars from both sides were also looking at the sky above the capital.
Before the Nine Dragons and the Magical Beasts could decide the winner, Xi Shi said with a thunderous tongue: "County Magistrate Yang, the time is up. Do you surrender or not?"
Yang Chutao straightened his spine and said loudly: "Yang would like to advise all the scholars of Qing Country that those who do evil will eventually perish. If you leave now, there is still room for maneuver. Once you attack Jing Country in the Second Battle of Liangjie Mountain and start internal fighting, we can only conclude that you are colluding with the demons and rebelling against the human race!"
"Hahaha... You are still stubborn even when you are about to die. If that's the case, then don't blame me. Catapult, ignite, and launch!"
Then, the black fire stone balls on the thirty huge catapults started to burn, followed by loud noises from the mechanisms, and thirty huge black flaming balls flew into the sky and fell from the sky towards the city wall of Ding County.
Everyone on the city wall was terrified and hurriedly fled.
Only a few people remained motionless.
A beam of cold light flew up from the city wall, flying at a high speed in the air, occasionally emitting dazzling flashes. Every time it flashed, it cut off a flaming black ball. In just a few breaths, all the flaming black balls were defeated.
