Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“The father and son of West Liang went crazy with martial arts. The Martial Mystic Intent wreaked havoc like a celestial demon and infected the entire country, causing the entire West Liang Nation to turn into soldiers. They don’t dare to take the initiative to attack Yuan Meng, but once our Great Zhao starts a war with Yuan Meng, that crazy father and son will definitely dare to bring an army to invade Great Zhao.”
“There’s also Dali. That peerless Imperial Preceptor can cut open the sky with a finger and borrow the power of the constellations to enter the mortal world. He can borrow the power of the immortals and gods behind the Heavenly Gate although he can’t maintain it for long. When Great Zhao and Yuan Meng start a war, this Imperial Preceptor will definitely send troops to Great Zhao and strive to expand the range of the sky of Dali. It can expand the power of the constellations he controls.’
“The two of them covet our Great Zhao. There’s naturally no reason for us to send troops.”
“It’s naturally best to maintain the current prosperity and live and work in peace.”
Prime Minister Qin lowered his eyebrows and explained his thoughts and theories clearly.
As for whether this was the truth, he did not know. However, in front of the Emperor, he wanted to show that everything he said was sincere.
Suddenly, outside the Imperial Study, a eunuch rushed in.
He glanced at Prime Minister Qin and walked to the Emperor’s side.
Prime Minister Qin was talking to the Emperor in the Imperial Study, so he naturally did not dare to casually release his mental power to observe the situation outside.
However, what the eunuch said next made Prime Minister Qin’s face tremble. He could not even hold the chess piece firmly.
“Your Majesty, Master An, who wrote the poem, killed Prime Minister Qin’s young master, Qin Qianqiu, in the Lake Gazing Building.”
The eunuch’s words exploded in Qin Lishi’s ears like thunder. A buzzing sound surged through his Primordial Spirit and consciousness.
Did he lose another son?
Cao Fu, the junior official of Dali Temple, came over with the Capturing Saber with an extremely solemn expression.
When he found out that An Le was facing the Demon Subduing Master, Monk Fakong, who had killed his way into the city by the West Lake, he was still calm. This was a normal challenge.
When An Le killed the Demon Subduing Master, Monk Fakong, Cao Fu did not care. It was because Monk Fakong was inferior to him that he died. Although An Le killed on the streets, there was no need to go overboard. With the Lin Residence behind him and the Little Sacred Token, it was not a big deal for An Le to kill his opponent in the challenge.
However, when An Le rose into the sky on his sword and wanted to kill Qin Qianqiu with the heroic qi of a young man, Cao Fu’s mental power trembled and he could no longer calm down.
Unfortunately, when he rushed over, Cao Fu saw a spotless white-robed youth jumping down from the Lake Gazing Building.
An Le looked at Cao Fu and nodded slightly.
Cao Fu’s expression was extremely complicated. As the junior official of Dali Temple, An Le had naturally violated the laws of Great Zhao by killing Qin Qianqiu. He should be captured and detained.
Several Dali Temple soldiers in official uniforms rushed up to the Lake Gazing Building under Cao Fu’s instructions. Soon, they confirmed the news of Qin Qianqiu’s death.
Cao Fu looked at the heroic qi young man with a relaxed aura. For a moment, his expression was complicated, and he did not know what to say.
Killing two people in a day was nothing if they were just like Monk Fakong, but killing Qin Qianqiu… would not end well. Qin Qianqiu was Prime Minister Qin’s favorite son. With his death… how could Prime Minister Qin not fly into a rage?!
An Le was finished. He definitely couldn’t escape now and would definitely fall into prison. With Prime Minister Qin’s power and methods, the Lin Residence couldn’t protect An Le at all.
A high-spirited young man who had gathered his invincible aura and wanted to walk the legendary path of the Legendary Top Scholar… was probably going to die just like that. His series of reputation in Lin’an would also come to an abrupt end.
“Master An… You… You shouldn’t have… Sigh.’
Cao Fu was a little helpless. Even though he admired An Le, this time… An Le was really doomed.
In the sky.
Many civil officials’ minds drooped as angry shouts exploded beside the Lake Gazing Building.
“Junior Official Cao, this lad ignored the laws of Great Zhao and killed Prime Minister Qin’s son. Why are you still standing there? This is a serious crime.
Put on shackles and escort him to the prison of Dali Temple!”
The Primordial Spirit of a fourth-grade civil official shouted sternly.
Then, voices sounded one after another.
The officials behind Qin Qianqiu appeared one after another. Their auras were continuous like mountains pressing down.
It was even to the extent that a huge and magnificent aura surged over, and Cao Fu felt a familiar figure appear behind him.
The Dali Temple Minister!
The incomparably cold minister of the Dali Temple did not say anything. His gaze landed on An Le and he released his powerful Primordial Spirit power. He flicked his finger.
A green light surged, and shackles appeared on An Le’s body.
However, just as the shackles wrapped around An Le’s body, a bamboo cane suddenly fell and pierced through the shackles. With a crashing sound, the shackles that had just been added to An Le’s body fell to the ground.
An old man with white hair and eyebrows in plain clothes floated to An Le’s side.
The old man’s body was thin and frail. He stood behind An Le alone, but he suppressed the pressure formed by the Primordial Spirits of the many factions’ officials behind Qin Qianqiu.
It made the Primordial Spirits of many officials fall silent..
