Everyone's attention was on Xu Chong, as if they wanted to hear a denial.
pity.
"I probably haven't told anyone about this yet."
Xu Chong asked calmly, "How did you guess that?"
In an instant, everyone's faces turned pale.
"Because of the rules of the forbidden heaven and earth."
Jiang Huaili took a breath and said, "Starting from the seventh floor, the suppression of rules will gradually decrease with each level up."
"On the surface, it looks like this was formed naturally during the growth of the Imperial Prison, but I know that whether it's the Heaven Beyond Heaven or the Purple Wei Heaven, each layer has an area for imprisoning serious criminals, and the rules of suppression there... are exactly the same as those on the seventh layer."
"That is to say, Your Highness has the ability to adjust the spread and intensity of the rules at will."
"The reason why the rules of the seven-layer space are reduced layer by layer is because of your highness's mercy, in order to give everyone a fair chance."
"But if the Six Covenants continue to exist, how can we talk about fairness if the people can't even remember the Way of Martial Arts?"
"so……"
Jiang Huaili did not finish the rest of his words.
Snap, snap, snap!
Xu Chong clapped his hands.
"As expected of a member of the royal family who has received a good education since childhood, even if there are a lot of good and bad people among them, there are always smart people."
"But then what? Since you have guessed this, you should know that seeing me will not help."
"What do you want to do? Kill me? Let the new world return to the control of the royal family?"
As he spoke, Xu Chong glanced around the hall calmly: "Just these people?"
Everyone whose eyes swept across trembled in their hearts and had to lower their heads.
However, an idea emerged in my heart uncontrollably.
Could it be that...
Is there really a way to kill Xu Chong?
Kill this, the strongest person from ancient times to the present?
"Your Highness has misunderstood."
Jiang Huaili shook his head. "Not to mention that His Highness controls many of the rules in Baiyujing, he can kill us instantly with just a thought. Even if His Highness doesn't manipulate the rules, it would be effortless for him to kill us with his own strength."
These words shattered everyone's unrealistic fantasies.
This also made Xu Chong frown again.
"So what do you want to do?"
Xu Chong stared at Jiang Huaili closely.
"Please wait a moment, Your Highness."
Jiang Huaili bowed with a serious expression, faced many puzzled looks, then turned and walked to the side of the hall.
There was something covered with a red cloth, which had been there for several days.
Because its shape was very much like a screen, people coming and going didn't pay much attention to it.
But now it seems that it is not that simple.
Just as they were guessing, the red cloth was torn off by Jiang Huaili with a swish.
"this!!!"
Everyone was shocked, some couldn't believe their eyes.
What was beneath the red cloth was not a screen.
But it was a huge bronze slab!
Taizu’s Great Edict!
How could it be Taizu’s edict?
After the Great Migration, didn't this thing return to the control of the Censorate?
How did you get here?
No, that's not right.
Where is secondary, what matters is, what does Jiang Huaili want to do?
Could it be...
Suddenly, an incredible guess emerged in everyone's mind.
"Your Highness must have guessed that my plan is to review the imperial edict and discuss my merits and demerits with Your Highness to decide whether the six treaties will survive or fail."
Jiang Huaili laughed out loud, "I wonder if Your Highness dares to let me do what I want?"
Crazy!
It's crazy!
Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
You got the Taizu Dagao, can't we use it secretly? Why do you have to bring Xu Chong here?
Not only did he lure him in, but he also told Xu Chong in front of him that he would use the Six Covenants to deal with him?
What is the difference between this behavior of seeking death and killing everyone else and that of Jiang Huaiming before?
However, Xu Chong did not show any anger as they expected, nor did he have any intention of interfering with Jiang Huaili.
Because he had already understood what Jiang Huaili's real intention was.
“Is it worth it?”
Xu Chong asked, and before Jiang Huaili could answer, he shook his head and said, "I asked too much. Please do as you please."
Everyone looked at each other, confused, yet relieved at the same time.
Just like that, in front of everyone, Jiang Huaili raised his hand and stabbed his heart, drawing the blood from his heart, and began to write on the bronze plate.
"Now there is the Regent King Xu Chong, who wants to destroy the foundation of our Daqing inheritance on the grounds that the world is not in danger... The descendant Jiang Huaili, please be careful!"
Compared with the time with Prince Qian, Jiang Huaili only wrote a dozen or so sentences.
In addition, he was a Jade Pool Cultivator, and his physical body was far superior to that of King Qian, so there was no sign of weakness on his face until he finished writing.
Of course, no one's attention was on him at the moment, everyone was staring at the bronze plate.
Gradually, the blood-red characters seeped in, faded little by little, and finally disappeared.
A faint majesty emanated from it.
Except for Xu Chong, all the royal family members in the hall bowed respectfully.
"We, the descendants of later generations, pay our respects to the Great Ancestor!"
At this moment, the cheers in the hall were deafening.
As to whether it is simply a sign of respect for Taizu or has some other meaning, there is no need to say more.
Xu Chong couldn't help sneering in his heart and even felt a little bored.
Will he be judged by the Great Edict?
Not to mention that he has no Jiang Wang bloodline at all. Even if he does, and is found guilty by the Great Edict, so what?
With his current strength, even if his fellow villager came back to life, he would only be pinned to the ground and beaten by him, not to mention the dead thing left behind by his fellow villager.
Just like that, under the gaze of everyone, a ray of golden light shot out from the bronze plate and went straight into the air inside the hall.
'The Six Covenants are the foundation of the human race, not the foundation of the royal family.'
'Since the world is no longer in danger of collapse, this thing, which has both advantages and disadvantages, should be destroyed without a doubt.'
'In addition, Xu Chong reshaped the world and made great contributions to the human race, so he should be the emperor of the human race.'
"Any member of the Daqing royal family who does not respect the emperor will be expelled from the royal family and demoted to a commoner!"
At this point, the Great Edict had stopped projecting the golden characters.
The royal family members in the hall were completely stunned.
The only one who remained sober was Jiang Huaili, who had guessed the situation from the beginning.
"Human race Jiang Huaili, kowtows to the Human Emperor."
Jiang Huaili swung his hands and kneeled down, "Jiang Huaili harbors evil intentions and disregards the interests of the human race for his own selfish interests. I ask the Human Emperor to punish you."
"Why……"
Xu Chong sighed.
Sure enough, it was just as he thought.
Jiang Huaili invited him to meet him and made such a big scene, not to prevent the destruction of the Six Covenants... but to pull the royal family back from the abyss.
You can tell by just looking at the composition and thoughts of the people in the hall.
Every one of the more than fifty people is at the third level of the Dao, and there are even some at the peak of the third level like Jiang Huaili.
Although the royal family has far more than fifty bloodlines in total, there is no doubt that these fifty-plus people can influence the will of the royal family to a great extent.
Moreover, most of them had the same idea as Jiang Huaiming, thinking that Xu Chong could have his current power with the help of the royal family. Naturally, they were quite dissatisfied with Xu Chong for arranging the royal family in Ziweitian instead of Tianwaitian.
If this continues, sooner or later, greed will drive the royal family into stupidity and ultimately lead to their complete destruction.
Xu Chong understood this, and Jiang Huaili also understood this.
Therefore, Jiang Huaili chose to sacrifice himself, in order to completely awaken those who could influence the direction of the royal family.
As for why it is said to be sacrificing oneself...
Although Xu Chong could show mercy and let Jiang Huaili go, the consequence of doing so would undoubtedly indulge the royal family and even encourage them to develop more inappropriate ambitions, and the outcome would be the same in the end.
Perhaps Jiang Huaili was also worried about this, which is why he knelt down and apologized as soon as the ruling of the edict came out.
No, it would be more appropriate to say "asking for guilt" rather than "seeking forgiveness".
"Well, it's okay for me to help you, but no one can predict what will happen in the future."
After saying that, Xu Chong shook his head and asked, "Where is Zhang Shunyi?"
Zhang Shunyi?
Hearing this name, everyone who was still lost and confused looked up with puzzled expressions.
But they soon figured it out.
"I am Zhang Shunyi, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Regent."
A young man in plain clothes quickly walked into the hall, came up to Xu Chong and bowed.
If not Zhang Shunyi, who else could it be?
"When I saw the Great Edict of the Great Ancestor, I knew it must be you who did it."
Xu Chong glared at Zhang Shunyi and said, "Tell me, what are your plans for these people?"
"The main culprit Jiang Huaili was beheaded and displayed to the public. Hemai was demoted to a commoner and exiled to the seventh floor."
Zhang Shunyi replied calmly, "The accomplice Jiang Huaiming was stripped of his cultivation, imprisoned, and his descendants were demoted to commoners and exiled to the seventh floor. As for the others..."
"Forget about the others."
Xu Chong suddenly waved his hand, "Let them continue to make trouble and see if there is another Jiang Huaili who will come out to protect them from disaster."
Zhang Shunyi glanced around and gave a sinister smile: "Your Highness, please be merciful."
Not until this time did the royal family figure out what was going on, and they all fell to the ground in despair as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"That's it."
Xu Chong took one last look at Jiang Huaili before his figure turned into light and disappeared.
A farce caused by two little kids ended so abruptly.
Soon, an official document issued by the cabinet was announced to the world, causing an uproar in the entire Seventh Heaven of Baiyujing.
Especially Ziweitian.
Millions of royal family members witnessed Jiang Huaili and Jiang Huaiming riding in a prison van, traveling all over Ziweitian, and finally being taken to the execution ground to be punished.
Jiang Huaili sacrificed himself as he wished, but no one knew whether he had alerted his fellow tribesmen or how long the alert could last.
…
…
Big ruins.
Salo kept on traveling and finally arrived at a strange area.
Unlike the darkness in other areas, there are densely packed faint purple lights flashing here, which look very much like the stars that only exist in this world.
But if you look closely, you will find that every flash is a bloody mouth opening and closing.
Not chewing, not gnawing, but rather chanting some kind of spell, as if thousands of unknown beings were communicating, it was lively and weird.
Salo seemed a little apprehensive, and stopped at the edge of the area, sending his thoughts far away: "Great Lord Frost Sky, Salo has something important to discuss with you."
The overlapping waves soon covered the entire special area.
The big mouths that were in the process of opening and closing stopped at once and did what only a human could do - speak with their mouths.
"Sa Luo? You are You Jue's child. If you have any problems, you should go to You Jue. Why are you asking to see me?"
"The Lord of Youjue has been silent for many years and has not responded to the calls of me or other children."
Salo answered, and then said: "Moreover, this can only be done by the Lord of Frost Sky."
"A lot of nothingness is afraid of me and doesn't want to interact with me, even my own children."
The Lord of Frost Sky said calmly, "What could possibly make you dare to approach me, and is this something that only I can do?"
"Saro knows that you are one of the oldest nothingnesses. You were even involved in the shattering of the Liantian and the decline of reality. Now, there is nothing in the desolation that can arouse your interest."
Saro complimented him first, then changed the subject: "But this matter is different. It is no exaggeration to say that this matter is likely to affect the current situation of reality and nothingness."
"Yeah?"
The Lord of Frost Sky still didn't care.
"In the midst of desolation, individuals of both reality and illusion were born."
Salo's thoughts came out with a solemn tone.
In an instant, the densely packed purple mouths suddenly stopped.
"impossible!"
Lord Frost Sky denied it immediately. “ Although I don’t interact much with other Lords, I do interact with them. If they have mastered the real power, I can’t possibly not know about it.”
"No, you are mistaken. It is not the great masters who have mastered the truth, but a real individual who has mastered the power of nothingness... and his status is only third-class."
Saroo explained.
"Third class?! The Bud of Nothingness... No, the Bud of Reality and Void?!"
It seemed that the Lord of Frost Sky had not communicated with another being for a long time. Although he did not quite believe what Salo said, he seemed very patient. "Tell me everything you observed."
"Yes, the great Lord of Frost."
Salo breathed a sigh of relief and began to tell the story.
From discovering the annihilation of his two descendants, to recalling the experiences of his two descendants, to expending his energy to help one of them to upgrade, in order to find 'Jiang Wang', and finally being escaped by 'Jiang Wang'.
By the time Salo had finished telling the whole story, Lord Hantian had already taken it seriously.
The densely packed big mouths gathered together to form a larger giant mouth.
"If what you said is true, then he does have a virtual and real personality... Fortunately, it is only the third level for now."
The Frost Lord's mind also began to become serious, "You found me, are you planning to strangle him when he is weak?"
"Yes."
Saro admitted frankly, "Although he has a way to make the void completely occupy the entire Great Ruins, which is of great value, but unfortunately, he has mastered the authority of space, and it is difficult for us to find his location..."
"No, you missed a more important one."
The Lord of Frost Sky denied Salo's concerns and said, "The authority of light! This kind of authority, which has been completely opposite to nothingness since its inception, is what we should pay the most attention to."
"You mean..."
Sarao asked uncertainly.
"Kill him, must kill him!"
The purple giant mouth opened and closed repeatedly, "If the void wants to completely occupy the Great Ruins, the authority of light must remain lost forever!"
