The Path of the Sage

Chapter 679: A real spring hunt

Views:

The words of Zhou Hong, a Jinshi from the Wu State, resonated with many people.

"Brother Zhou said it well! The scholars of Yun Country have reached an agreement that these three days are the days for our human race to hunt monsters and barbarians. Even if we are buried here, we would rather not become the prey of monsters and barbarians!"

"Qi Nation can lose to other countries, but it must not lose to Wu Nation. We must climb this demon mountain."

Li Longxiao looked at the Shu people and said, "We in Shu cannot lose face. Does anyone object?"

No one from Shu answered, which was considered as tacit agreement.

"Yueguo joins the war."

"I, Qingguo, will participate!"

Afterwards, all the countries in Jiakongcheng participated, except for the Jinshi from Jiaguo who was nowhere to be found.

"Okay, since we have decided to attack the Monster Mountain, let's discuss the attack process while heading towards the Monster Mountain."

"Walk!"

More than two hundred people organized themselves briefly and quickly ran towards the Demon Mountain, while Fang Yun also took back the mechanical bird that was glowing in the sky.

As soon as the mechanical bird was retracted, the sound of thunder was heard not far away.

"The Jinshi of Jiaguo is here. Please wait for a moment."

"Oh?" Fang Yun looked in the direction of Tongue-Break Spring Thunder in confusion, and saw thirty figures in the distance.

"Wait a minute." Ma Zhaoming said unhappily.

"What a grand ceremony! Nine countries plus Kongcheng are waiting for them!"

"The Lei family is known as the number one family under the aristocratic families. They always feel that the whole world owes them something, so they should wait."

"At best, it's the Void Saint Family. Now Fang Zhenguo has become a Void Saint, on par with the Lei Family, but he's not as arrogant as the Lei Family."

"It's a pity for the former head of the family, the great scholar Lei Yuanting. He could have made the Lei family more prosperous, but unfortunately those old stubborn people controlled the Lei family, and Lei Yuanting couldn't turn against them, so he ended up banishing himself to the ancient land of the deserted city."

"How about the new head of the Lei family?"

"He is a good-natured man who is good at getting along with everyone. He is the head of the family, but he is just a university scholar. How can he win the support of the people? His power is almost completely taken away by the elders of the family. Lei family. Don't offend someone you can't afford to offend, otherwise your family will be destroyed."

"Alas, the question now is, who can the Lei family not afford to offend?"

There was a brief silence over the hills.

“Brother Detian, if the Lei family angers your Kong family, will your Kong family destroy the Lei family?”

Kong Detian rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Stop talking about our Kong family."

"I was serious."

Kong Detian was stunned, silent for a moment, and slowly said: "Repay grievances with justice."

Fang Yun looked at Kong Detian.

This is Confucius' original words, treat those who hurt you with integrity. Although this statement is somewhat ambiguous and does not actually indicate what is considered integrity, it is almost equivalent to saying that if the overall interests of the human race are taken into consideration, the Kong family may make concessions.

"Who can blame the Lei family for having such a good ancestor that he can be related to Zulong?" Zhang Zhixing couldn't help but say.

Ma Zhaoming put away the telescope and said, "I think Lei Li is very reluctant."

"It doesn't matter if you're reluctant, as long as you know the general situation." He Ludong glanced at Ji Zhibai.

Ji Zhibai pretended to know nothing.

Not long after, thirty Jinshi from Jiaguo arrived.

Ma Zhaoming bowed and said, "Everyone, take a rest for a while, and then we will go to the Monster Mountain together and act according to the matters discussed. On the way..."

Lei Li suddenly interrupted Ma Zhaoming and said, "Things that have been discussed? How can we act rashly without our participation? I..."

Fang Yun interrupted Lei Li rudely and said, "Mr. Lei, the matter has been resolved. We are heading to Monster Mountain now to catch the monsters off guard. Are you going to stay or go?"

"You..." Lei Li and other Jinshi from Jia country were stunned. They didn't expect that Fang Yun, who usually seemed humble and gentle, would be so decisive at this time.

"Fang Xusheng. I..."

Lei Li wanted to say more, but Fang Yun interrupted him again and said, "This is a serious matter. I don't have time to argue with you Lei family. Fellow writers from Jia Country, this hunt has changed drastically. The ranking is second, and most importantly, we may not be able to leave this place alive. Do you believe in the Lei family, or do you believe in our Nine Countries and Kong City?"

Mo Shan immediately said: "Since the nine countries and one city have already discussed it, the people of my Mo family and the Luban family are willing to go."

Two people from the Mohist school and a person from the Luban family came out, and a little white dog was circling around Moshan, looking no different from an ordinary puppy.

"I'm willing to go too." Then a man came out.

Fang Yun took a closer look and found that he was from the Wang Chong family, who was quite famous for his literary talent. He had even written to him to congratulate him on becoming a virtual saint.

Afterwards, all the children of the noble families of Jia State, regardless of whether they had grudges against Jing State or Fang Yun, stood up and expressed their willingness to follow. Then most of them expressed their opinions, and only the five people of the Lei Family and the three people who were close to the Lei Family did not make a clear statement.

The five people from the Lei family were all shocked and annoyed. It looked like Fang Yun was just trying to intimidate others, and the other children from the noble families immediately expressed their support. This showed that the saintly families recognized Fang Yun, the virtual saint, much more than the Lei family!

Ji Zhibai looked at the five people of the Lei family with disdain. Violating the "Three Rites" is not an ordinary crime, and the Rites Hall would never dare to make a decision casually. Whether it was the Tianye Gaohuo established by Fang Yun or the Tianyan Poetry, each of them created real achievements for the human race. Even the clans that had conflicts with Fang Yun's Saint Way sent a large number of gifts, but the Lei family did not send any, which almost subverted one of the most basic bottom lines of the Saint Academy.

Ji Zhibai knew in his heart that he dared to target "Jinshi Fang Yun" and "Wanghou Fang Yun" in the capital, but now Fang Yun directly showed his identity as a virtual saint. Not to mention him, even the left prime minister would temporarily tolerate it if he encountered a similar thing.

"Thank you for your trust. We will do our best to eliminate the hidden dangers! Let's go!"

Fang Yun gave an order and the others followed immediately.

When everyone had walked several dozen feet away, Lei Li stamped his feet in anger and said, "Follow us!"

The Lei family sighed and had to follow. If they were in a safe place, the Lei family would never follow. However, this spring hunt was too dangerous. Being alone meant possible death, so they had to go.

More than three hundred scholars dressed in white sword robes were running on the brown ground. The darkness of the deserted city and the ancient land seemed to be dispelled by their spirits. Each person seemed to emit an indescribable light, and finally formed a huge white light ball on the ground.

This ball of light seemed to be able to tear the sky apart and illuminate everything.

No one can stop it!

Everyone ran quickly, using their talents to transmit messages in a small area while running, and constantly discussed the matter of attacking the Monster Mountain.

"There are three demon mountains. How should we choose? We can't attack them one by one. That would be too stupid."

"This depends on Brother Shouyu. I wonder if Brother Shouyu can predict it?"

"If I could get closer, I would definitely be able to sense the source of the disaster."

"Brother Shouyu alone is better than a thousand troops!"

"What if we encounter a barbarian tribe ahead?"

"Kill them!" Fang Yun said.

"Okay!" Many enthusiastic scholars agreed.

"Haha, the spring hunts in previous years may have their own special features, but this spring hunt is truly refreshing! Three hundred scholars joined forces to hunt, this is the real spring hunt for scholars!"

"Well said! Then we will kill the monsters and barbarians together and decide the winner in the end!"

"That's great!"

"There is a tribe of 30,000 demons and barbarians ahead. Do you dare to wipe them out?"

"They will definitely be slaughtered!" (To be continued...)
