Haojing Continent.
With his sleeves fluttering, Lu Yi landed in front of the main hall of the brand new Haojing Imperial City.
Yinyuan had already brought many concubines from the harem, as well as the princes and princesses conceived by his concubines and the result of his hard work over the past two years, and a few close ministers, all waiting eagerly at the door.
The moment Lu Yi landed, he glanced at everyone and his mind became clear.
Yinyuan was naturally anxious and worried, and was truly worried about Bai Yuan, Linghu Lun and others.
Yu Changle was also anxious and concerned... but his anxiety and concern were more because of Yinyuan, a kind of old loyal dog-like feeling of "a minister dies if the king insults him". It was impossible to say how much affection Yu Changle himself had for Bai Yuan and Linghu Ju.
Among the court officials, Linghu Ju and several of the Linghu family's noble ladies, as well as several of the Linghu family's elders, also looked at Lu Yi with some concern. Lu Yi saw all the changes in their expressions - they probably didn't have much affection for Linghu Ju and the others.
After all, it is understandable that the family ties in a big family are weak. What they value more is the "family interests" represented by Linghu Ju and others... After all, they are the "wives and concubines" of Yinyuan who have held a formal wedding banquet. Their status and position are much higher than those of the group of beauties behind Yinyuan now. They are the real "big house", and those beauties are all little green tea, "concubines" and "maids"!
Legally speaking, the child born to Linghu Jun and her friends is the legitimate heir to the new born behemoth Shen Yin!
The power and interests involved...
It can be seen from the expressions of those court officials who came from other families such as Dugu, Nangong, Beimen, and many other wealthy and powerful families that they were eagerly hoping that Lu Yi would bring back a bunch of dead bodies.
It was a dead person, that was right. With the death of Bai Yuan, Linghu Ju and others, their clan girls could be promoted to the position of the legitimate wife; the children born to Yin Yuan by their clan girls in the past two years could ascend to the throne... Otherwise, they made such a great sacrifice and stuffed to Yin Yuan's side. Could it be that their daughters could not get married?
The faces of the hundreds of girls following behind Yin Yuan were the same as those of the court officials. They sincerely hoped that those "sisters" and the "children" they were pregnant with would all die outside, which would be the best.
Even among them, several of the older children who were with them revealed the same expectant and sinister expressions.
Lu Yi couldn't help but glance at those overly mature princes. They immediately showed bright and gentle smiles, as harmless as lambs, and looked at their father's closest sworn brothers with innocent faces. Lu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the aristocratic family is really a terrible behemoth. Look at these children, what have they been taught by their own mothers since childhood?
Thinking about the children's education, Lu Yi recalled the chaos in the harem.
He thought about what he brought back... what he brought back... He shuddered and his face looked a little ugly.
Yinyuan had been nervously observing Lu Yi's every move. When he saw Lu Yi's sudden change of expression, Yinyuan's steps suddenly froze, and then he continued to move forward towards Lu Yi with heavy steps. Every step seemed to be like wading through heavy mountains and crossing large rivers.
He looked at Lu Yi solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Brother, what's the situation? Tell me, I can bear it... Is he dead? Or disabled? Or, has the Green Emperor used those weird methods to do something unscrupulous? Tell me, I can bear it... Uh."
Swallowing hard, Yin Yuan said softly: "If they die, you will help me, your brother, to avenge them, right?"
Lu Yi looked at Yin Yuan with a hint of pity and said softly, "Brother, you need to be mentally prepared... I don't know how to say this, but this matter is indeed a bit, a bit... cruel and inhumane, and it is intolerable to heaven!"
Yinyuan's body shook and his face suddenly turned pale.
Yu Changle, who was standing beside him, hurriedly held his arm and said anxiously, "Oh, Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself... The revenge of the ladies and the young master must be avenged... However, if your dragon body is in trouble, this Shenyin, and the hundreds of millions of Shenyin's people, are still counting on you!"
Linghu Tian and several other elders of the Linghu family turned pale, and they quickly glanced at their colleagues, old friends, old rivals, and old relatives, such as the Dugu family and other clan elders.
They clearly saw a hint of complacency flashing in the eyes of those old fellows. Linghu Tian and others were so angry that their teeth were itching. Their eyes subconsciously fell on the group of Linghu clan girls who followed closely behind Yinyuan, who had been forced into Yinyuan's harem over the years and had successfully given birth to children!
Hehe, without Linghu Ju and a few sisters as the first mover, the girls of the family are also a very strong force in Shen Yin's harem... Isn't it just palace fighting? Isn't it just stirring up trouble in the harem and killing people? Hehe, the girls of the Linghu family, the girls of the Linghu family who have inherited the charm of the sky fox, who are they afraid of?
Linghu Tian and several other elders took a deep breath, straightened their chests, and blew the clarion call for the Shen Yin Palace Fight for their own girls - they would start in the next two days, find a few ignorant little brats in the harem, and give them a good beating, and even completely wipe out the power of their mother clans, so that the people of the world can see the methods of the Linghu family!
Linghu Tian and the others were thinking this in their hearts, and the elders from the other big families also had countless thoughts in their minds.
In short, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely weird for a while. The women in the harem looked at each other with sharp eyes, and ruthlessly slashed their competitors and their children a thousand or ten thousand times!
Without the need for instigation from their elders, these women have already determined that Bai Yuan, who was identified by Yinyuan as Empress Shen Yin, and Linghu Jun, who was established as Imperial Noble Consort, the two highest-ranking mistresses in the harem, have fallen... So, it's time for me to show my skills!
Look at me, using my own methods to make Yin Yuan, the unfaithful man, faint... stepping on the lives of these little green tea girls, young and old, and climbing to the highest throne in Shen Yin’s harem with bloody steps!
Hoo, hoo, hoo!
A group of women who clearly had no cultivation released a murderous intent even more brutal than that of the generals of heaven who had fought hundreds of battles.
As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became more tragic and weird.
Even in the dark corners that Lu Yi, Yin Yuan and others failed to notice, the negative emotions and negative energy in these women's hearts have attracted the "non-heaven" hidden in the diaphragm of the Supreme Taichu Heaven dimension... Some tiny tentacles are slowly flowing towards this side . If these women cause three or five murders at this time, the non-heaven disaster may break out on the spot!
That would be really lively!
But this is bound to happen sooner or later... The darkest place in the world is a brothel and a harem... If these women become ruthless, countless innocent maids and eunuchs, and even themselves, will be crushed to pieces... It would be strange if their resentment and evil spirit before death do not lead to a riot that is not caused by heaven!
Lu Yu looked at Yin Yuan, whose face was pale, and said in a deep voice: "Things are very tragic... The situation is very tragic... Big brother, you have to hold on... You are a man, a man made of steel... Your heart must be strong enough, you must hold on... You must hold on, the huge Shen Yin, countless people, countless good people, and all the sisters-in-law behind you, so many children, are counting on you!"
Yin Yuan blinked his eyes.
There was something wrong with what Lu Yi said. It was very wrong... Could it be, really, really... Bai Yuan, Linghu Lu, and those children, all, all? He suddenly covered his chest with his right hand. His heart was beating violently, and the hot blood rushed to his forehead through his blood vessels, causing his brain to ache.
Yin Yuan pressed his chest hard and forced himself to calm down. Although he was discussing such a serious and heavy topic in public, Yin Yuan's nature still came out and he chuckled: "Brother, what you said is right. This huge Shenyin can't rely on me alone, right? There is also Mr. Yu and so many ministers... Most importantly, I have you!"
Lu Yi looked at Yin Yuan with pity.
"With me"? The problem is, as a brother, I can't help you in this matter!
You probably don’t know what kind of surprises and shocks I, as your brother, have brought you.
The undisguised pity in Lu Wu's eyes made Yin Yuan shudder... It was a pity without too much grief and indignation, but a kind of pity of gloating... After being brothers for so many years, Yin Yuan could also clearly grasp the more subtle things in Lu Wu's emotional changes!
'gloat'?
Why is it gloating?
"Also, Prime Minister Yu, you have to think of a way to formulate the standards for my imperial use of Shen Yin and the royal family's offerings... This, set a bottom line , and then, the annual tax revenue and so on, are allocated in a coordinated manner. You have to think of a good way!"
Lu Yi glanced at Yu Changle with a hint of gloating.
Yu Changle's heart skipped a beat. He said with some difficulty, "Your Majesty has always been diligent and frugal, and is definitely not the kind of person who spends money without restraint... Now the annual expenditure of the Shen Yin harem, including the ladies and young masters, is only a tiny fraction of that of the Shen Yin... This..."
Lu Yi did not keep the suspense any longer. He stared deeply at Yin Yuan's hands resting on his waist, then waved his sleeves. A spatial wave swept out, stretching the area of ​​the large square in front of the hall, which could accommodate a million people for court meetings, by about a hundred times.
There were sparkling crystal cabins, and each cabin was wrapped in a layer of light water mist. Except for the head and face, all other parts were completely blocked by water vapor. The crystal cabins were neatly arranged into dense squares of tens of thousands of people, appearing on the huge square, filling the entire square tightly!
Millions of white turtles.
One million Linghu Lun.
A daughter of the Linghu clan worth millions.
There were also the children born to Yinyuan by Bai Yuan, Linghu Juan, and several other girls from the Linghu clan. They all numbered in the millions and appeared neatly in front of everyone.
Lu Yi said softly, "When I went there, the Green Emperor had already used evil magic to extract the essence and blood of my eldest sister-in-law, several sisters-in-law, and these nephews and nieces, and cultivated so many of them... Ahem, big brother, you, you, you have to make the decision on this matter. As a brother, I really can't help you!"
With a wave of his sleeves, Lu Yi turned around and ran away, running very fast as if there was a group of mad dogs chasing him and biting his butt.
Lengthy uproar.
Yin Yuan looked at the millions of "darlings" in front of him with surprise and joy, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Yu Changle's face suddenly changed. He quickly scanned the densely packed transparent cabins, counted the number of people, and then calculated the income of Shen Yin from all aspects last year. Then he wiped his forehead vigorously - we can afford it, we can afford it. Shen Yin is so big, to support these ladies and young masters... there is still enough capacity!
Linghu Tian and a group of other old foxes suddenly changed their expressions, and then quickly calmed down.
However, their heads were filled with dizziness. A hundred or so girls fighting in the palace could cause blood and flesh to fly everywhere, and the mother clan of the previous dynasty could be beaten to a pulp. If the scale of this palace fighting expanded to a million people, how would they deal with it? Even the elders of the several giant clans who had lived the longest at the scene had no idea what was going on.
Among them, there are a few old and frivolous ones who are the most interested in women and collecting beauties. The number of beauties around them is only over ten thousand... a million?
"What Lord Lu Yi said is a heart made of steel?! I'm afraid... a heart made of iron can never handle this matter!" In the crowd, a certain frivolous elder said what everyone was thinking - they all looked at Yin Yuan's suddenly tensed back muscles with pity, they even saw drops of cold sweat oozing out of the pores on Yin Yuan's neck.
Compared with those who still have the ability to think, the group of beauties behind Yinyuan, as well as the older princes and palace maids involved in their hands, who have already understood the beauty of power and the taste of wealth, all stared at the densely arranged cabins with grim faces and fierce eyes.
They were like young, unarmed "warriors", ready to launch a fierce attack on the giant dragon in front of them!
Even many of the "empresses" who had been fighting each other to pieces in the past few years, in an instant, changed from being sworn enemies to being united in hatred of the enemy. With a twinkle in their eyes, they had already signed an alliance in the harem!
These old women who should have died out there long ago, why are they shamelessly running back here with their damned babies?
No, we have to fight. We have to find a way to kill Bai Yuan and her children. Otherwise, how can such a huge divine heritage and foundation be left to them?
A bloody storm awaits Yinyuan.
Lu Yi had already run far away, running very fast.
Just as Yinyuan was calmly, happily, and joyfully dealing with the most tragic Shura battlefield in history, Yuncha Ridge was also filled with murderous intent and rising evil spirits.
The commander-in-chief is gone.
He left very satisfied.
He convinced Old Bear.
He said to Old Xiong Zun, "The Buddha you are thinking about, the one who gave you a new life, has already passed away... Why should you delay your own life, the lives of your brothers, and the lives of your younger generations for the sake of those people who are doing sneaky things in the name of the holy land of Nalanda?"
This was an extremely heavy weight that directly broke down Old Bear Lord's defenses.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief left very satisfied. He believed that with the methods of Old Bear Venerable, who seemed simple, honest, and even a little dull, but was actually very wise and cunning, he must have a thousand connections with the Buddhist monks scattered all over the world... Among them, there must be clues of the people in Lingshan and the Great Leiyin Temple.
Perhaps there is no way to kill the current master of Lingshan, the guy named Qingsha.
But killing a few core figures of Lingshan should be easy.
In this way, as long as Lingshan is dealt a sufficient blow, no matter how many plans they have, they will be delayed for many, many years, right?
The commander-in-chief did not expect to uproot Lingshan and the Great Leiyin Temple all at once.
When the Heavenly Court was first established, if it encountered such a secret society, it would definitely kill them and try to eradicate them completely.
But, so many years have passed.
The commander who usually pretended to be mysterious, majestic, decisive, and ruthless was no longer the commander-in-chief of the past. He now had countless wives and concubines, and many children. The endless wealth and glory had already softened his iron will and his endless fighting spirit.
As long as the strength of Lingshan and the Great Leiyin Temple can be weakened a little, so that they don't cause too much trouble and involve his power and wealth, why must the commander-in-chief fight a life-and-death battle with them?
The commander-in-chief is no longer interested in trying the danger of destroying both himself and the enemy.
On the contrary, if the world is peaceful and there is no threat... the commander-in-chief laughed complacently... a weakened secret group that cannot stir up too much trouble but does pose a certain threat to the Heavenly Court is just right.
Keeping enemies as a protection for yourself has always been a good habit!
The former commander-in-chief sneered at such cheap tricks, but now he feels that anyone who does not keep the enemy at bay is a fool.
The commander-in-chief hummed a tune and left.
On the outskirts of Yunchaling, the frantically attacking Heavenly Court fleet restrained its fire, rang the gong to withdraw its troops, and slowly, bit by bit, retreated.
On the outskirts of Yunchaling, a battlefield stretching for tens of thousands of miles has been dyed red with blood.
Yuncha Ridge hangs high above the vast ocean. In the red sea water, countless ferocious sea beasts leaped up and swallowed the corpses in big mouthfuls. Many sea beasts were eating, and suddenly their bodies were shining with spiritual light, and a majestic demonic aura rushed into the sky. They laughed wildly and rushed into the sky. Their huge bodies shrank little by little, gradually turning into the appearance of humans who walked with human power.
Sea monsters of varying numbers, with enough luck and inspiration accumulated, transformed into monsters on the spot. Under the scolding of the Old Man of the Vast Sea, they formed into military formations and walked into the military camp in Yuncha Ridge one after another.
Old Xiong Zun stood in mid-air, glanced at the bloody battlefield, put his hands behind his back, hunched over, and in three or five steps, he returned from the edge of Yuncha Ridge to his own cave abode on the top of the mountain with the word "Zhu" on it soaring into the sky.
The shrines lit up, and the Buddha statues emitted a faint light. The Buddha, with a compassionate look on his face, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked gently and quietly at the old bear statue who walked slowly and heavily past the shrine.
There were several more figures behind Old Bear Lord.
As he walked, he murmured softly, "I had a fight with that Green Emperor a few days ago. I didn't have to use much strength, but he got stabbed in the face with several bloody holes, and he escaped, leaving behind a bunch of bastards."
"That is a clone, definitely not the real person."
"That guy's true form... Oh, I hope he dies somewhere and doesn't come out to cause trouble again."
"You are my most trusted brothers."
"In the past two years, my heart has been beating fast and my eyelids have been twitching... I am a rough man, and I don't know any magical powers like those that come to me on impulse or by counting with my fingers. After all, I am just a wild bear spirit patrolling the mountains and guarding the gates!"
"But it feels bad, very bad."
"So, while I have fooled the commander-in-chief, he won't send anyone to attack these days... You guys, take Lang Yuexi's group of kids away. Go to the secret cave number 9."
The figures froze slightly, and then continued to follow Old Bear Lord's steps.
"So, are you preparing for a real battle to the death with Heaven?" a figure asked Old Bear Lord in a low voice.
"I haven't thought about it yet." The old bear suddenly stopped and looked up at a 100-foot-high shrine on the wall of the cave beside him. In this shrine, there was only a smiling Buddha statue with a layer of light gold powder all over its body. The Buddha stood there quietly, holding a bowl in his left hand and a precious pearl between his thumb and index finger of his right hand.
The orb shone brightly, like a small sun, illuminating the entire shrine. Strands of invisible breeze gushed out from the orb, washing away the dust, purifying the mind, and making people feel inexplicably cool all over, without any distracting thoughts in their minds.
"I haven't thought it through yet!" Old Xiong Zun frowned and murmured in a low voice: "I am just a rough man, fighting and killing, which is okay, but... how can I make such an important decision!"
"If I don't fight, it's too frustrating."
"If we continue to fight...how many men will be killed or injured?"
"That old fellow is right. With the strength of Yunchaling alone, we are definitely no match for the Heavenly Court, which has endless manpower and resources. They don't need to send out too many masters and mighty ones. With the endless Heavenly Army formation alone, they can completely overwhelm Yunchaling."
"Look, Mr. Black Cloud, these little brats may be a little stupid, but they are all good kids!"
"Let them, die?" Old Xiong Zun frowned and exhaled heavily: "Fortunately they are not my biological children... If they are not my biological children, it would be so heartbreaking and difficult to make a decision. What if they are my biological children?"
"Sure enough, my practice has not reached the level of 'Purity of the Six Senses'! If I could achieve 'Purity of the Six Senses', would I be able to 'be free from emotion and desire' and make the most appropriate..." Old Xiong Zun muttered to himself, with an inexplicable hint of madness in his tone.
"Stupid guy, the six senses of purity in Buddhism do not mean being heartless and unfeeling... Have you lost all the Buddhist scriptures you have read over the years?" An extremely clear and beautiful voice suddenly came from the depths of the cave.
A bright moon-like Buddha light lit up, and the warm moonlight penetrated the rocks, illuminating the entire cave.
Old Xiong Zun's body suddenly stiffened.
The next moment, he had already fallen to his knees, tears streaming down his face. His huge head slammed to the ground with a bang: "Master...you, are you not dead?"
"Damn it, Old Bear, all the tears I've shed over the years have just been wasted, haven't they?"
Deep in the cave, the Buddha's light trembled slightly, and a sense of madness spread out.
