Chapter 806 – Benefactor
Da Xi had four marshals of the Sanctuary. They were once said to be supporting the four pillars that supported her from east, south, west, and north. For ordinary people, they might be more familiar with the famous general of the Temple. To them, the Marshal of the Sanctuary was too illusory and unreal, after all, he was a legendary figure.
With the four Saint-level marshals in charge, Da Xi was like an impregnable fortress that was built in all four directions. Furthermore, it was one thing for Da Xi not to bully others. Who would still dare to provoke Da Xi?
However, nobody could understand that eighteen years ago, Daxi Shenghuang had suddenly issued an imperial decree transferring the four marshal of the Sanctuary back to the capital. After that, he gave the four of them an extremely preposterous crime and punished them to guard the Royal Tomb, not mentioning it again for 18 years.
Four top experts from the Great Xixi military guarding the Royal Tomb was undoubtedly a very, very bizarre and absurd matter. Eighteen years ago, it had once caused a huge uproar. However, no matter how many officials of the Holy See tried to ask about it, no one knew the reason for it.
The strangest thing was that none of the four marshals had any reaction. After the decree was passed down, the four of them packed up their things and entered the Royal Tomb without any attendants. They had not come out for eighteen years. Aesult, 18 years later, there were already too many people who had forgotten about the existence of those four terrifying experts.
Time was truly a strange thing. It could make people forget many things. In the span of eighteen years, people had almost forgotten about the sensational events of that time.
Mu Jianli was the youngest among the four of them, but of course, other than the four of them, no one else would know how old these four were. There were many speculations regarding Mu Jianli’s past. Especially since the process of him going from a nobody to the absolute pinnacle of military power like the Saint-level marshal was extremely quick. The other three Grand Commanders had gone through this process for at leasundred years, while he had only been in it for seven years.
Therefore, a large number of people began to pay attention to him and began to check his background and background. However, no matter what methods these people used, it was as if Mu Jianli had just appeared out of thin air at the Da Xi Empire.
There were many families with the surname Mu in the Da Xi family. However, none of them could be considered a Wealthy family. The biggest one was only powerful in the county city, and it was not the biggest in the area. However, those who wanted to find out Mu Jianli’s identity would not give up so easily. They had searched through almost every place they could find, and only to find that Mu Jianli did not belong to any of these families.
After Mu Jianli was conferred the title of Field Marshal, many of those with the surname Mu all declared that Mu Jianli was a senior of their family, but that was all to scare people. In the end, the person who investigated Mu Jianli had to conclude that Mu Jianli was not from the Da Xi Empire. Furthermore, this situation was even more strange. If the Saint Marshal, who wielded great power and led troops to guard the region, was not from the Da Xi family, the Saint King would actually trust him?
Zhou Family
Because Patriarch Zhou Xiangyang was killed, as well as the two hundred cultivators that accompanied him, they had all lost. To the Zhou Family, this was an unendurable injury. Even though Patriarch Zhou Xiangyang had never truly obtained the recognition of the clan, it was still, after all, the face of the clan. The head of the Zhou family had been killed. If this matter were to end so easily, how could the Zhou family still have a foothold in the world?
Aesult, even the two old monsters who had been hiding in the Zhou family for so many years had come out. All the experts in the family above Lower Completion Stage had been summoned back, and the entire Zhou family was in the midst of preparing for battle. This time, the Zhou family would not let this matter rest.
This was an irreconcilable hatred and the Saint King did not give any clear instructions. Thus, the Zhou family and Hollow Jade Temple seemed to have reached a point where they were unable to coexist. The sudden rise of the Hollow Jade Temple made many of the large families and sects feel worried, so they secretly gave the Zhou family a little bit of support.
The person called Chen Liuxi from the Hollow Jade Temple was just as annoying as that Fang Zheng from back then.
In the eyes of all the members of the large families, Fang Zheng waerson who broke the rules back then, even though what Fang Zheng was doing was to safeguard the laws and discipline of this nation. This is very obvious … Big families naturally had the privileges of big families. Otherwise, why would people who struggled with their lives on the line stand up?
Everyone knew about this. Although the old families would reject the new and rising ones, as long as they did not break this rule, they would accept the new and rising powers. But those who completely rejected this sort of rule would definitely be ostracized by them as well.
For example, Fang Zheng, who stands at sucigh altitude, doesn’t have any privileges? If so, why not enjoy this privilege?
To take the simplest example, if a member of a large family accidentally killed an ordinary person, or for some other purpose, would the matter attract their attention? Of course not, because ordinary people’s lives were worthless in their eyes. However, Fang Zheng could not, once Fang Zheng found out about these things, he would investigate everything.
Therefore, Fang Zheng had never been a likeable person, within these levels of power and nobility. When a person is hated by almost everyone in power, his death becomes inevitable. Some said that the majority was righteousness, so everyone was against Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng himself was not righteous.
These words were very, very bullsh * t.
What Fang Zheng wanted to face was evil, and that was what he wanted to do. And then, you used Fang Zheng to face all sorts of evil beings, so most of them would stand against him and deduce that Fang Zheng is evil beings, what could be more ridiculous than this? Since the majority was righteousness, then where did the large number of commoners whom Fang Zheng had helped and loved so much and supported so much to what extent? Why did Fang Zheng’s opponents become majority righteousness while the commoners were negligible?
Mu Jianli admired Fang Zheng a lot. He once said that Fang Zheng waerson who viewed the world as his enemy. When he said “Fang Zheng is the enemy of the world,” he didn’t mean “the world,” but “the world,” he meant “the world.”
Wearing a white scholar’s robe, Mu Jianli walked on the street and no one recognized him, which made him a little happy. He hadn’t set foot in the capital for eighteen years, and everything around him was unfamiliar and familiar. He had once risen to prominence in this Jinling, and he had an unforgiving feeling about this place. He wanted to take a good look at everything in the Jinling. Who knew when he would return to the Royal Tomb? The next time he would be able to come out.
Then he saw three interesting people, two men and a woman.
The two men looked to be around twenty years old. One of them was handsome and masculine while the other was delicate and pretty. These two men wererfect match. They were the type that could mesmerize girls, and they were the representation of two different types as well. The girl who walked between them was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was bright, sunny, and beautiful to the point of suffocating people.
The young man who looked a little feminine seemed to have drunk too much. As he walked, he said, “Who hasn’t had a dream of becoming a hero yet? Didn’t Fatty always say that when I was young, my dream was to walk the world by relying on my sword? ”
“Then they left it behind because they didn’t have any money.”
“Hahahahahaha …” You can laugh at Fatty when he’s not around anymore. I’ll complain to you later! ”
The reason why Mu Jianli felt that these three youngsters were interesting was not because their conversation was interesting, nor was it because the three of them had arms around each other’s shoulders, completely disregarding some secular person’s opinion. Instead … These three young men were all extremely terrifying.
The Jinling was truly different from one another. She casually bumped into three young men, all of whom were so extraordinary.
Seeing those three people pass by him, Mu Jianli could not help but mutter these words to himself. “God, devil, person?”
His tone was uncertain, but he spoke with feeling.
The footsteps of the young man who looked very masculine suddenly stopped. He turned his head and glanced at Mu Jianli, and then, his eyes trembled slightly.
Mu Jianli turned around and smiled at the young man: “What are you looking at?”
The young man was silent for a moment, then replied, “Looking at the past.”
Mu Jianli’s heart slightly shook, and he gave that young man an extra look: “Is it you who look at the passing of others, or you look at yourself?”
The young man replied, “It depends on history.”
Mu Jianli’s hand trembled imperceptibly inside his sleeve, but he laughed: “Aren’t you historical as well.”
The young man’s expression changed as he cupped his fist and bowed slightly. Then, he turned around and walked away. Mu Jianli also turned around, but the Sword Qi he was pinching did not come out. He also knew that there was a bolt of lightning in that youth’s hand, ready to strike.
At the Zhou Mansion.
When Mu Jianli reached the door, he discovered that it was closed. He muttered to himself for a while, then walked up, and the door opened by itself. The strange thing was that the door lock was not broken, as if an invisible person had opened the door for him from the inside.
Many of the Zhou family’s young disciples were gathered in the courtyard, anxiously waiting for the results of the discussion between the elders in the hall. They all knew that this was going to be a fierce battle. The Hollow Jade Temple had tens of thousands of disciples, so this was definitely not a war between the elders and Hollow Jade Temple. Instead, it was a war between the Zhou Clan and the Hollow Jade Temple.
“Who are you!”
Someone noticed that someone had jumped up in fright and immediately shouted.
Mu Jianli did not care about him and continued walking towards the hall.
“Stop right there!”
Someone came forward to stop him, “Do you know where we are? If you were to barge in so casually, I’ll send you to hell to report your arrival right now! ”
Because the family head was killed, the Zhou family members were filled with hostility. Seeing someone barging in like this, of course they couldn’t take it anymore. The youngsters couldn’t help but want to teach this madman a lesson.
But Mu Jianli still ignored him, and only indifferently looked at the young man, then continued to walk forward. The young man he glanced at suddenly fell to the ground. His body was as stiff as a stone, and he couldn’t even move his eyes.
“How dare he be so impudent in the Zhou Mansion, kill him!”
The group of people rushed forward to attack, but just as they rushed up, they discovered that the person had disappeared. Looking around, he saw that the person had already reached the door of the hall and was entering it with one foot.
“Stop him, don’t let him disturb the elders’ discussion!”
At least a few hundred people charged forward. With a casual wave of Mu Jianli’s hand, those few hundred people were frozen, as if there were several hundred stone statues in the courtyard.
The faces of the two old men sitting at the seat of honor at the very back of the hall turned cold when they saw someone enter, “There are really no rules, no dignity. There are so many people outside the Zhou Mansion, and yet they were casually forced into this place! ”
Everyone in the room stood up, ready to attack.
“Wait a moment.”
One of the two old men seated at the very top, Zhou Song who was known as the Golden Immortal Hand suddenly changed his expression: “But … But Benefactor Mu? ”
Mu Jianli stood there and did not speak, and slightly nodded.
Zhou Song quickly got up and ran over shakily. He kneeled on the ground and said, “Greetings, benefactor.”
