The first thousand three hundred and nine chapters
"My lord is mighty!"
"The prince is invincible!"
"Long live the prince!"
Mountain roars and tsunamis, the sound waves get louder and louder, spreading throughout the city. Even though there are still several demon kings wreaking havoc in the city, people's hearts gradually calm down because of that thin figure standing proudly in the air!
From Zhao Yukun to the court officials, everyone had a dark face.
Even a saint will not make people shout long live. That is a glory that only the emperors of the dynasty can have.
Yes, glory, not a separate title!
Long live represents the eternal dynasty and the long-lasting destiny of the country. But now it is labeled as a "rebellious minister and traitor". How can they not be shocked and angry?
But now, there is absolutely nothing we can do!
"Wu Ming, you are a wanted criminal in the temples. Since you are now out of trouble and have killed the demons, I will give you a chance to deal with these fallen demons. Otherwise, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will not be able to escape the law.
Still the sinner of the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Yukun was the emperor after all, and the city was quite deep. After realizing that Wu Ming was helpless, he came up with a plan.
If Wu Ming didn't agree, he would pin the label of colluding with the demons and becoming a fallen devil on Wu Ming's head.
If you agree, that's fine. As long as it takes just a moment and a half, the repair of the city defense array is completed, and neither these damn fallen demons nor this thorn in the side can escape!
By then, the national destiny, which had reversed course again due to Wu Ming's escape, would inevitably return to the Song Dynasty!
He, Zhao Yukun, was still the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and held supreme power. Naturally, Wu Ming was the rebellious minister and traitor, leaving an eternal infamy in history!
"I have killed two fallen demon lords in succession, and one blood demon lord from outside the territory. I am at the end of my crossbow. Please let your majesty let the guardian beasts come out to kill the fallen demons, clean up the world, and restore the prosperity of the Song Dynasty!"
Wu Ming was so smart, how could he be bound by words? With just a few words, he turned his open and hidden arrows into invisible things and headed towards the inner city of Nancheng in a flash.
There were tens of thousands of troops and countless great masters. Except for a few who had the courage to question, almost everyone remained silent.
Even if there are doubts, they will soon be drowned in thousands of voices!
"That's where Prince Wu's Mansion is. Haven't the buildings been empty a long time ago? Why is he there?"
Some people also saw that the direction Wu Ming was going was Prince Wu's Mansion, but they couldn't figure it out.
Because, as early as a few years ago, when Wu Ming was deprived of his title, there was no one left in Prince Wu's palace, not even a servant to look after the house.
Prince Wu's Mansion was originally a mansion given by the Song Dynasty court when Wu Xiong was crowned king in the early years. Now that it has been taken back, it nominally belongs to the court.
Moreover, as Wu Ming was deprived of his title, the palace was also awarded to others, and it seemed that he had a grudge against him. The palace was already in a smoky atmosphere, and it was no longer what it used to be!
But Wu Ming did not go to Prince Wu's Mansion, and without even taking a second look, he passed by and soon arrived at another luxurious courtyard in the inner city, a few streets away from Prince Wu's Mansion.
Iron Sword Palace!
At this time, dozens of guards were waiting in front of the door. They all looked at the battle in the distance with pale faces, but they still adhered to their duties and did not leave even half a step.
Inside, you can see countless figures flashing back and forth in the corners, each one obscure and introverted, but with a strong aura, hidden around the most important backyard of the palace.
Seeing Wu Ming arrive at the door, he knew someone among the guards at the door. He also saw how he had confronted the Emperor of the Song Dynasty before, subdued tens of thousands of troops, and won the support of countless people.
Thinking of the relationship between his own palace and Prince Wu's palace, as well as some secret rumors, I couldn't help but become nervous.
"Wang...may I ask, sir, what do you do for me?"
After the captain of the guard opened his mouth, he felt it was inappropriate, so he temporarily changed his words and said rather cautiously.
There is no way, no matter if you are a master warrior, you will be nervous when faced with an existence that can kill the demon king, not only because of the gap in cultivation, but also because of the natural pressure of the life level!
"Thank you, big brother, please send a message and tell me that my old friend will come to visit later!"
Wu Ming smiled warmly and cupped his hands.
"This... ok, please wait a moment!"
The captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that his posture did not look like he was looking for trouble, and he was quite happy in his heart.
With such a strong man sitting in the palace, at least they are safe. They are also afraid, and if they really want to take action, no one can stop him at this time.
"My lord, please come back. My old prince said that there is chaos in the capital now. It's very uneasy and he doesn't want to see guests!"
Not long after, the guard who went in to ask for instructions came back, biting the bullet and speaking with confusion in his eyes.
The guards were also puzzled. The arrival of such a powerful man under such circumstances would cause suspicion from the court, but wouldn't it be enough to put the whole house in danger?
call!
There was just a blur in front of the eyes, and Wu Ming disappeared in an instant. After a moment of shock, everyone turned pale.
This legend may not have come with good intentions!
At this critical moment of demonic chaos, coupled with such a terrifying existence, he is in danger of destruction at every turn. How can we not make people frightened?
But so what if I'm afraid, who can stop me?
"Dad, that little bastard came back from the dead. I'm afraid the person who came here is not good. If you refuse like this, he..."
In the forbidden area in the backyard of the palace, Liu Pingsheng said with worry on his face.
"He doesn't dare to come. Even if he does come, what can he do to me? I, Prince Tiejian, am one of the eight kings with different surnames in the Song Dynasty. I have made great military exploits for the Song Dynasty, and that's why I have our current foundation. How can I tolerate a child with a yellow mouth?
presumptuous?"
Liu Xuan looked coldly and seemed not to be worried at all. He touched the teacup casually, but suddenly froze, a look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he stared at the opposite side.
"Dad, you..."
Liu Pingsheng looked around, his whole body trembled violently, and he forced out a smile and said, "My dear nephew, don't blame me. It's really unlucky that the capital has encountered such chaos..."
"It's time to return the things belonging to my Wu family!"
Wu Ming paid no attention and said with an indifferent expression.
"My nephew is joking. Your family and I are family friends. I..."
Before Liu Pingsheng finished speaking, he was suppressed by a terrifying pressure and could not utter even a single word.
"presumptuous!"
Liu Xuan's old face was livid, his beard was slightly trembling, and he glared at Wu Mingdao, "How can you, the rebellious ministers and traitors, be so arrogant in front of this king?"
"hehe!"
Wu Ming smiled mockingly and stepped forward slowly.
"Be bold!"
The Six Sword Slaves swooped out and formed a formation to attack Wu Ming. They were more than ten times more powerful than they were a few years ago.
But without seeing any sign of Wu Ming taking action, he heard a muffled sound, accompanied by blood and crackling sounds, and the six people flew back directly, collapsing the wall, causing a piercing panic in the palace.
Call.
The Six Sword Slave was not dead, but was seriously injured. He struggled a few times in the mess on the ground and couldn't get up at all.
"If you dare to touch my Liu family..."
Liu Xuan said sharply.
"Her surname is not Liu!"
Wu Ming looked indifferently at this kind elder who once had to look up to him and hugged him all over his body in his memory. Now he was like a ferocious ghost, "Even if my surname is Liu, if I want to kill someone, no one can stop me!"
"you……"
"Dad, please return the golden book and iron scroll to him quickly. For Xue'er's sake, he will not kill anyone. And didn't Xue'er also say that? Even if he leaves the palace, he will still recognize us.
ah!"
Liu Pingsheng fell to his knees. Perhaps out of his desire and fear for life, he slightly broke away from the pressure from Wu Ming and cried hysterically.
Liu Xuan was breathing heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, veins popped out on the back of his hands, and he was trembling endlessly. But looking at the young man in front of him, he still had no courage to pull out the iron sword beside him.
Even though, he is now a Great Sword Sect!
"For Xue'er's sake, let... let my Liu family live!"
In just a few breaths, Liu Xuan, who had returned to his middle-aged appearance due to a breakthrough, suddenly seemed to have aged by dozens of years. He slumped on his seat and begged in a solemn voice.
Wu Ming had no words and just stretched out a hand.
Liu Xuan trembled, and tremblingly took out a dark, metallic luster-sized jade book, and placed it in Wu Ming's hand.
Golden Book and Iron Scroll!
It is similar to the Blood Book Spiritual Contract, but more humane. It is a must-have item for a wealthy family and a retainer of retainers. Moreover, the refining method is more complicated than the Blood Book Spiritual Contract, and it is even rarer to be handed down from generation to generation!
Wu Ming rubbed the word "Wu" with blood lines on the iron scroll, feeling sad in his heart.
This thing was originally passed down by the ancestors of the Wu family. Wu Xiong was in charge of it, but he died unexpectedly. As a result, Wu Xu did not take over, and naturally it did not fall into his hands.
The Wu family's iron guards had fought against the powerful Semi-Saints of the Southern Wei Dynasty in Yunmengze decades ago, but it was less than 30%, but suddenly they all fell away, and even the old prince Wu Xiong died inexplicably.
In this way, it caused the decline of the Wu family and triggered a series of subsequent tragic disasters!
"Oh!"
Wu Ming smiled slightly, feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart.
But...it's just a pain!
Liu Yixue originally hoped to return this thing, but no matter what, things are unpredictable, and he will have to do it himself after all!
As an adult, Wu Ming is very rational. Although he has a good feeling for Liu Yixue and his predecessor had a deep obsession with her, how can he not avenge the destruction of his family and clan?
"This bad relationship should have been ended long ago!"
Wu Ming took a breath and waved his hand casually.
puff!
A flash of blood suddenly appeared, and a pale head appeared in astonishment, looking extremely ferocious. It seemed that he did not expect to die in Wu Ming's hands!
"You...how dare you?"
Liu Pingsheng was stunned.
"Don't worry, I won't touch the few bloodlines you left outside, but you should also know very well what to do about this matter. I don't want to hear any rumors. Some things should be made known to the world!"
Wu Ming said lightly,
"You you..."
Liu Pingsheng felt as if his hair stood on end, as if he had seen a ghost. He could not believe that Wu Ming would know about the several foreign houses he secretly kept outside.
So much so that even when his father was beheaded in front of him, he didn't have much mood to care.
In fact, Wu Ming knew it many years ago!
It's just that he's not ruthless and poisonous enough to destroy his family and his clan, and... he still owes a debt of love to that woman in white, Sheng Xue!
No matter what, the Liu family raised her up!
And the only reward he could do was not to exterminate the Liu family!
Liu Yixue made a choice back then and did not return the Golden Book and Iron Scroll. Now he has also made a choice.
The cause and effect of the past must eventually come to an end!
Wu Ming didn't care about the other party, and he didn't need to care about him. He swept out of the Iron Sword Palace in a flash, taking away not only the gold book and the iron scroll, but also a human head!
"Um?"
What surprised Wu Ming was that before he could leave the capital, two people blocked his way. (To be continued)
