The Emperor has died, and considering the Emperor’s successor is particularly logical.
Gao Xuan didn’t find it problematic at all; he was quite puzzled by Sun Shangdao’s lack of awareness.
Sun Shangdao thought for a mont and sighed, "We brothers should first get through this hurdle before considering these things."
"Senior Brother is concerned about Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang, isn’t he?"
Gao Xuan nonchalantly said, "Two regicidal rebels thinking they can rampage and rule with power—there’s no such thing."
Then he seriously said, "There is righteous energy in heaven and earth, and the people have benevolent hearts. Zuo Bubei and the others are unrighteous and unkind, going against the will of heaven and the people’s hearts. They are destined for inevitable defeat and destruction."
His words were so powerful that even Sun Shangdao was moved.
However, Sun Shangdao wasn’t a teenager of seventeen or eighteen. He cald down imdiately.
This world only distinguishes between success and failure, not right or wrong, good or bad.
The so-called benevolence and righteousness are spoken of only by the victors. As for the defeated speaking of benevolence and righteousness, they just invite laughter.
"Junior Brother, what you say makes sense, but at this ti, it’s about the fist, not reasoning."
Sun Shangdao leaned closer to Gao Xuan and whispered, "The original Celestial Soldier Strategy is six feet under the Silver Tiger at the entrance of the White Tiger Hall. If you manage to escape, rember to retrieve it..."
Sun Shangdao thought again and said, "If they make a move on us, I’ll fend off a few blows. You leave imdiately. Perhaps there’s still a chance to escape."
Gao Xuan was sowhat moved. He’d only known this Senior Brother for a few months, yet at the critical mont, his character shone through.
"Senior Brother, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be joking now. Nor should I have hidden anything from you."
Gao Xuan sincerely apologized, then lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "Senior Brother, actually, I’ve already beco a Martial God."
"Uh,"
Sun Shangdao’s hair stood on end in shock. He wasn’t this surprised even when he saw the Emperor’s death or Zuo Bubei revealing his unparalleled Martial Arts Divine Intent.
Yet a single sentence from Gao Xuan genuinely frightened him.
Sun Shangdao knew Gao Xuan’s free-spirited personality, never holding back in conversation. His first reaction was that Gao Xuan was joking with him.
But at such a critical ti, although Gao Xuan liked to joke, he wouldn’t be that careless.
Just days ago, Gao Xuan had beco a Martial Saint; how did he beco a Martial God so soon? Even consuming a divine elixir wouldn’t work that fast!
Sun Shangdao had countless questions in his heart, but he used a lifeti of cultivation and tolerance to suppress them all.
He said, "Even if you’re a Martial God, Junior Brother, you can’t deal with two Martial Gods."
Sun Shangdao saw clearly that although Luo Tiangang hadn’t shown his power, the vigor and blood energy he possessed were exceedingly condensed, far surpassing the Martial Saint level.
It was clear Luo Tiangang was already a Martial God. That’s why Luo Tiangang and Zuo Bubei dared to stand openly on the platform, dare to be publicly acknowledged as regicides, and dare to face the world’s criticism with ease.
While Mother of Non-Birth was the culprit who killed the Emperor, she had no qualification to stand on the platform. It was also because she didn’t have that level of cultivation.
Even Martial Saints have hierarchies of strength. Sun Shangdao admitted his martial arts were a tier inferior to Zuo Bubei’s. Reaching the Martial God level follows the sa principle.
Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang had the advantage of a hundred-year accumulation. In terms of martial arts experience alone, they were far superior to Gao Xuan.
Even if Gao Xuan was a Martial God, he would still lag behind these two. Especially since there were two of them.
Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang brazenly committed regicide, acting shalessly and viciously.
Sun Shangdao studied military strategy. In his view, although Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang’s public regicide was utterly shaless and vicious, their conduct was a dignified display of tyrannical power.
If they discovered Gao Xuan was a Martial God, threatening their grand ambitions, they would undoubtedly join forces to eliminate him.
Gao Xuan understood Sun Shangdao’s concerns. He comforted him, "Fear not, Senior Brother. Not even these two, even if ngtu and Liu Sheng Wu Jian co together, I can handle them."
Sun Shangdao displayed doubt, "ngtu and Liu Sheng Wu Jian?"
"ngtu is a Human Immortal, and Liu Sheng Wu Jian has also beco a Martial God. But they both rely on external forces, which isn’t genuine skill. Compared to Luo Tiangang and Zuo Bubei, they’re a notch below."
Gao Xuan analyzed, "According to my observations, Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang must have also taken so dicinal enhancent. These two Major Sects have long inheritances, focusing on playing with Golden Cores and making relics. It’s only normal for them to consu so pills for enhancent..."
While Gao Xuan was still analyzing, Sun Shangdao almost fainted.
Just with Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang as threats, the situation was already chaotic. With the additional martial gods of Liu Sheng Wu Jian and ngtu, the Human Immortals, the scenario beca even more complex.
Whether Gao Xuan fought Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang, winning or losing, it would benefit Liu Sheng Wu Jian and ngtu. This was an even bigger hassle.
The Emperor’s death was a significant event. Yet compared to the Emperor, the entire Central Plains held greater importance.
Sun Shangdao despised Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang’s wanton actions. But ngtu and Liu Sheng Wu Jian’s formidable power could not be overlooked.
The situation suddenly beca complicated...
Sun Shangdao worriedly said, "Junior Brother, if we engage in battle with Zuo Bubei and Luo Tiangang, I’m afraid Yun Country and ng Country will benefit. Should these two countries invade the Central Plains, that would be a catastrophe for everyone..."
"Rest assured, Senior Brother, I won’t let these two creatures return to their countries."
Gao Xuan confidently said, "Profound Yellow Mountain will be their burial ground."
Sun Shangdao was speechless. His Junior Brother was an extraordinary Martial Dao genius and possessed wisdom. However, this inexplicable confidence he had was really irrational.
After so thought, he said, "Junior Brother, you should read more of the Celestial Soldier Strategy."
Gao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Senior Brother, don’t worry. I’m following the righteous path of military strategy. When the enemy does not perceive , it’s as elusive as a shadow. When I move, it’ll be like thunderclaps!"
He told Sun Shangdao, "Senior Brother, take Brocade and retreat a bit later. After all, facing Martial Gods, it’s hard to control the battle. It would be unfortunate to get splattered with blood..."
