Chapter 980 – Handlers
An Zheng was not too anxious either, because he was very clear about one thing. Tan Shanse definitely did not only want to deal with Xu Meidai. Tan Shanse waerfectionist, he was immersed in his own calculations. If a scheme was to achieve only one goal, it was obvious that he was disdainful to do so. What he wanted was at least the effect of three birds with one stone.
Why is the news spreading only from the Peacock Palace? Of course it was to rely on the unhurried words of the masses to speak for An Zheng to hear. Tan Shanse understood An Zheng’s personality. He knew that as long as An Zheng heard that something had happened to Xu Meidai, he would definitely come.
The biggest weakness of a conceited person was his conceit.
Therefore, An Zheng knew that as long as he had not entered the Secret Realm and not entered the game, Xu Meidai would not be in any real danger. Perhaps, at this moment in time, Tan Shanse was hiding somewhere, watching the movements in the secret realm.
An Zheng had seen Tan Shanse before, although he had not directly gotten to know him, but ever since An Zheng entered the Crystal Hall and saw the spherical room that could draw attention to the situation, An Zheng could deduce that Tan Shanse had a strong desire for control.
He needed to be able to control it at all times. He needed to be able to grasp it at every second. In this man’s eyes, everyone was just a chess piece on his chess board. Every step he took would be in accordance with his plan.
In the midst of the crowd, An Zheng was unremarkable. He followed the waves of people towards the entrance of the secret realm. Halfway through, a large number of Da Xi Holy See’s troops tried to stop them, but unfortunately, they were unable to do so.
“The Great Xi Holy See’s Jin’ling Guards, stop the law enforcement, or you will be killed without mercy!”
The commander of the Jin’ling Guards roared, but the waves of humans continued to surge forward.
“On what basis? Once we find a secret realm, it will be occupied by you. Once we hand in the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, we should have the right to enter! ”
“Yes!” Overthrow Da Xi! ”
This could be the first time in a thousand years that someone had brazenly shouted the four words “overthrow the Da Xi family.”
Aesult, the moment those words left his mouth, even the person who had shouted was shocked.
“Grab him!”
Song Zuliang, the commander of the Great Xi Golden Tomb Guards, shouted, his eyes almost popping out. A group of Jin’ling Guards rushed into the crowd and was about to grab him when someone suddenly pulled out a blade and beheaded the Jin’ling Guards in front of them. He raised his bloody long blade and shouted, “Overthrow the Da Xi!”
Amongst the crowd, An Zheng noticed a few people dressed in flying clothing adding fuel to the fire. The first to draw his saber was also the person flying high in the sky.
“Everyone, don’t be afraid anymore! How long have those nobles of the Great Xi suppressed us? We live like ants, at your mercy. Everything was taken over by those powerful nobles, why?! All men are born equal! ”
“Yes!” Overthrow Da Xi! ”
“Everyone, don’t retreat. If you retreat once, it will only make them stronger! They are already used to trampling us under their feet, so no one will resist to increase their momentum. “Everyone, let’s attack together! This is an immortal palace, not Da Xi! Why would we still listen to Da Xi!”
“Immortal Palaces are everyone’s Immortal Palaces, not Da Xi’s!”
“Everyone, attack! If anyone dares to stop us, they will become enemies with all the cultivators in the world!”
“Kill!”
The hostility in everyone’s heart was triggered, and those flying high mixed in with the crowd, constantly encouraging them to do so. However, they just kept on yelling and urging everyone to rush forward. They just stayed where they were and didn’t move. There were quite a number of Jin’ling Guards, and they were also well-trained. However, they didn’t think that these weak and cowering guards would suddenly become so violent. They did not understand and had no time to think. The waves of people surged. Many of the Jin’ling Guards were trampled to death before they could even resist.
“Release the arrows!”
The commander of the Jin’ling Guards shouted out. The Golden Scale Guards in the formation across from them stepped aside. Behind the formation were actually a row of loaded heavy crossbows. These heavy crossbows were crafted by the master craftsmen of the Da Xi weapons workshop, and they were also boosted by spell symbols. They were powerful weapons that could easily destroy dried weeds on the battlefield. At this moment, facing a group of cultivators without any battle experience, it was simply a massacre.
Whoosh!
A row of heavy crossbows shot across the ground, causing the two rows of cultivators in front to fall down like wheat that had been laid down by a sickle. The strength of the heavy crossbows was too great. Each crossbows took away at least three or four lives. Afteow of heavy crossbows, hundreds of cultivators were killed. These cultivators with Captive Stage up and down were nothing more than cannon fodder. They were completely inexperienced, and in front of the well-trained army, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
His aggressive attitude from before was suppressed in an instant.
“Enter!”
The commander of the Jin’ling Guards roared. Hundreds of Jin’ling Guards began pushing forward with at least twenty heavy crossbows, shooting as they went. The cultivators on the street retreated in succession. Not only were they shot to death by heavy crossbows, but they were also trampled to death by their own people. The resistance Qi that had been surging like waves and waves had vanished in the instant it was suppressed.
“A motley crowd, how dare they rebel?!”
The general of the Temple, Gu Xi, walked over with a gloomy face, pointing forward with his finger, “Kill him for me!”
Behind him, five hundred cavalrymen attacked at the same time. These cavalrymen were the most elite soldiers of the Da Xi military. Being able to enter the Inside the Immortal Palace to maintain order proved their strength. Their mounts were also not ordinary war horses. They were ferocious Northern Lonely Wolves. Each lone wolf from the northern region was two meters tall and covered in a layer of scales. There was even a long, sharp spike on their forehead that was much sharper than ordinary swords and sabers.
Five hundred men were marching along the street side by side, and as they rode past, the bodies on the ground were turned to mush in an instant. Pieces of flesh and blood were flying everywhere on the corpses that had been trampled by the demonic beasts’ hooves. One of the cultivators felt a “pa” sound on his face and felt pain right after. Subconsciously, he grabbed it and realized that it was an eyeball that was stuck to his face. He let out a cry and turned around to run, but before he could get far, he was chased by the cavalry soldiers. Before he could get up from the ground, Lone Wolf of the Northern Region stepped on him with his huge claws.
In the next second, his skull was also crushed by the following cavalrymen. His eyeballs also flew out and stuck onto the back of another cultivator.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Someone stood at the top and roared, “If you run now, you will definitely die in the future! If you resist now, you will still have a chance at survival. Now, even if you run away, the people of Da Xi Empire will be wiped out in the future. “You will be hunted down if you go to the ends of the earth. If you kill all these people now, the whole world might belong to us in the future!”
An Zheng noticed that a group of elites flew into the battle from afar and started to attack and kill the riders. The Soaring Cloud player was very cunning. He hid in the dark and killed the enemy in one hit, then immediately left without any hesitation. Under the constant onslaught of dozens of people, the formation of the cavalry immediately became a mess.
“We have more people, what’s there to be afraid of!”
“Everyone, let’s fight our way back!”
Slowly, the fleeing crowd returned. Countless magic tools whistled as they flew towards the Jin’ling Guard. The soldiers fell down layer by layer. The situation changed so quickly that no one could react. The crushing momentum instantly collapsed. Those cultivators seemed to have gone crazy as they charged forward. Those who wanted to enter the secret realm from all directions, without even knowing what was happening, joined the battle and charged forward together.
The more people there were, the greater the momentum. It only took an instant for the wind to blow against it. Although the soldiers were going to fight to the death, there were simply too many of them. Not only did they attack from the front, but they attacked from all sides under the command of Soaring Feet. In the end, the Jinling Guards could only shrink their formation and form a defensive circle. They no longer had the ability to fight their way out. However, more and more people began to gather around them. Sooner or later, this circular formation would be broken through.
An Zheng could not stop this kind of war. He knew that it was all because of Tan Shanse and that the fall of Da Xi might start from now on. But what could he do? Kill all the cultivators, or kill all the Jin’ling Guards?
At this moment, even more people had already bypassed the battlefield and entered the secret realm. Without a strong organization, even if they had the upper hand, the cultivators would eventually disperse on their own. They were worried that someone might steal their treasure if they entered too late. After less than 20 minutes of besieging, they dispersed and rushed towards the entrance of the secret realm.
At this moment, the Jin’ling Guards who had survived the disaster stood there with pale faces, as if they had just returned from hell. No one could understand why. Resistance was likempest.
There weren’t many Jin’ling Guards left, so he didn’t have the ability to continue attacking. They could only watch helplessly as a large number of cultivators charged into the secret realm.
“Your Majesty!”
Temple General Gu Xi cried out in grief, “The world is going to fall into chaos!”
A large number of cultivators poured into the secret realm, like a great river flowing into the sea. No one could stop them. An Zheng followed the waves of people into the secret realm, the big river started to split up, and rushed in all directions. An Zheng stood there and looked at his surroundings, feeling a bit sad.
In the past when he was reading, he had seen the records of the Golden Empire being overthrown and the war that was recorded down in the ancient books. He thought that he would spend his whole life in peace and prosperity. Even if he was reborn in this life, he didn’t think that there would be any true changes to the world. And the moment he saw the surge of people attacking the army, he knew he was wrong.
On a high mountain in the secret realm, there waavilion at the peak of a mountain.
Wearing white clothes, Tan Shanse sat in the center of the pavilion with a fan in his hand and watched the crowd rush in like they were splitting uiver from the entrance from afar, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised upwards.
“The world is vast and no one can reverse it.”
Fei Qiansong lowered his head and stood by his side, “Master, you are indeed clever. No one in this world can escape your grasp.”
Tan Shanse laughed: “I am confident, but not conceited. I know what I can do, what I can’t do. As I said a long time ago, the most uncalculable thing is the people’s hearts. But something like the hearts of the people is very stupid … You don’t need to calculate or force yourself to reverse anything. All you need to do is add fuel to the fire. Look at those ant-like cultivators below, daring to take risks and even resist Da Xi just for a little bit of desire. I’ve said it before, the ugliest are cultivators. The evil of the world also came from cultivators. Don’t they look disgusting? ”
Fei Qiansong asked: “Master, what about the ordinary people? Do ordinary people not have desires? ”
“As long as you are human, you have desires. It’s just that the desires of ordinary people cannot be realized for the most part. If you let a cultivator think about it, I might be able to become an emperor. He really dared to go temote place and rule over thousands upon thousands of people. If you want an ordinary person to become the emperor, that’s just something he can think about. ”
Tan Shanse said, “Extinction cultivators are the only way to protect this world.”
He waved his fan. “I am a pathfinder, and alsathfinder … Fei Qiansong, I have stirred up the world before, you have never seen it before. “Today, I’ll allow you to accompany me. Let’s see how the wind blows and how the mountains change.”
