You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 132 : Chapter 132
Chapter 132: You Rebel Traitors Defy Heaven Itself—Why Have You Not Yet Surrendered Your Heads?!
The leader of those rebel Prince Qing’s Remnants was naturally the current Prince Qing himself.
As the Young Princess, Xiao Qian was obviously his daughter.
Cheng Yu had used the Bewildering Immortal Incense to beguile and guide Xiao Qian, turning her into a hidden weapon. His hope had rely been that she would cause so damage within the rebel camp and assist the Jinyiwei in their campaign to exterminate the rebels.
He had never expected her to directly grievously wound the Ninth Rank martial artist leading them.
It truly was an unexpected delight born of a loving father and a filial daughter.
By scheming against a powerful Ninth Rank martial artist, the reward Cheng Yu received also exceeded all his expectations.
Three years’ worth of Origin-Replenishing gains!
The main reason his strength could so thoroughly surpass others of the sa realm, allowing him to fight above his rank, was the Demon-Slaying Dao Canon.
Cheng Yu skipped over the three bitter years of cultivation required for the Longevity and Origin-Replenishing section and directly obtained the results of three years of Origin-Replenishing cultivation. In an instant, his entire being entered a completely different state.
A life-filled origin essence, carrying Dao intent, coursed through his body like an endless river.
His Internal Energy, already incomparably pure, beca even more refined beneath the nourishnt of that essence.
With every breath he drew, his Internal Energy circulated through his ridians, warming his Dantian with a faint heat, like the spring sun strengthening every part of his body.
His organs, ridians, and bone marrow all repaired their minute wear and damage, growing ever stronger as they advanced toward the Realm of Longevity.
Feeling that unceasing vitality within himself, Cheng Yu nodded in satisfaction.
The ti to completely wipe out Prince Qing’s Remnants had finally co.
It was now night.
He walked to the Martial Practice Ground before the Jinyiwei Thousand-Household Office and looked at the Jinyiwei, who were still training with tireless dedication. Then he spoke in a ringing voice:
“Everything is prepared. Our troops are ready. All of Jiannan Circuit’s Jinyiwei are fully ard. Tonight, you will follow to exterminate Prince Qing’s Remnants! These rebels, who have endured for hundreds of years, will be destroyed by our hands! The day our nas are carved into history is today!”
At once, everyone dropped to one knee, cupped their fists, and accepted the order. Their thunderous roar shook all of Jiannan City.
“Destroy the rebels and leave our nas in history!”
That very night, the Jinyiwei of Jiannan Circuit, who had long since finished their preparations, all moved out. Before dawn, they gathered five li below Iron Halberd Mountain.
Among Prince Qing’s Remnants was a supre Ninth Rank expert, and their ambition was to overturn Great Qian and seize its realm. In their eyes, the Jinyiwei of a single circuit were beneath notice.
They had never imagined that the other side would take the initiative and march to the foot of the mountain in a single night.
The scattered sentries and scouts they had posted along the way were all quietly removed by elite Jinyiwei units Cheng Yu had dispatched ahead of ti.
Not the slightest attention was drawn from the Iron Halberd Mountain headquarters of Prince Qing’s Remnants.
Iron Halberd Mountain, now flying the Crimson Dragon Banner, stood not far ahead of Cheng Yu.
Just as he was about to order it completely surrounded, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
“Lord Cheng, you had chasing after empty air through Jiannan City for quite so ti.”
Li Xin, wearing a silver mask, stepped out from the side and cupped his fists in greeting.
The nearby elite Jinyiwei responsible for keeping watch were instantly shocked.
They had not sensed this man’s presence at all, yet he had walked all the way up to Cheng Yu.
Jian A frowned as he looked at Li Xin with vigilance.
Even he found the man’s concealnt unsettling.
Cheng Yu raised a hand, signaling that Li Xin was one of theirs. Then he returned the salute with cupped fists.
“Lord Li, I trust you’ve been well. What brings you here?”
“I ca all the way from the Great Qian Capital, traveling thousands of li, for the express purpose of seeing Lord Cheng.”
Before Li Xin had even finished speaking, he handed sothing over, and Cheng Yu reached out and took it.
The mont it entered his hand, Cheng Yu felt the fierce Sword Intent within it, sharp and unrestrained.
“What is this?”
Li Xin smiled. “The sword expert at your side is more familiar with this object than I am.”
Jian A was greatly startled.
“The Sword Chief’s Sword Missive! If this object is activated, the Sword Chief will sense it no matter where he is and hurry over!”
At those words, Cheng Yu’s heart trembled, and he looked down at the Sword Missive in his hand in astonishnt.
With his extraordinary comprehension of the Sword Dao, he could clearly sense just how powerful the Sword Intent contained within it was.
The Sword Chief of the Sword Bearers, a Grandmaster!
He looked toward Li Xin.
For such an item to be placed in his hands, it had to be Lord Zhao’s doing.
“Lord Cheng has repeatedly rendered extraordinary service. After learning of your ambitions, Mister Zhao sent this as a show of support. He hopes that you can exterminate Prince Qing’s Remnants and establish another unparalleled achievent!”
“As for resistance at court, Lord Cheng need not concern yourself with it. Mister Zhao will handle everything.”
Lord Zhao!
The image of that venerable old man, whose aspirations aligned so closely with his own, rose in Cheng Yu’s mind.
Ever since he had carved out his fearso reputation as a Banner Captain of the Qinghe County Jinyiwei, enemies had erged one after another to obstruct him along the way.
Only Zhao Yi, broad in ambition and unconcerned with petty details, had shown him trendous recognition and offered him no small amount of vital help.
And now, once again, he had sent over a precious gift.
The aid of a Grandmaster!
And the strength to withstand opposition at court!
Cheng Yu cupped his fists toward Li Xin in gratitude. “For Lord Zhao to send so great a gift, I, Cheng Yu, am deeply grateful. In the future, I will surely repay it in full!”
Li Xin smiled and waved a hand.
“What happens at court is no more than a trivial matter to Mister Zhao. As for this Sword Missive, it would not necessarily be of much value in soone else’s hands.”
“If Lord Cheng continues striving forward for the great cause, that alone would please him greatly.”
Who under Heaven did not know that the Sword Bearers were people obsessively devoted to the Sword Dao, to the point of madness? The Sword Chief, their leader, was even more so.
In the hands of soone else, this Sword Missive might truly not amount to much.
But in the hands of Cheng Yu, who had even managed to win Jian A over, it carried entirely different possibilities.
“My task here is more or less complete. I still have to hurry back to the Great Qian Capital. Lord Cheng, I wish you victory at the first clash. Next ti, I’ll invite you to a drink!”
“Good!”
Cheng Yu agreed at once and watched as Li Xin’s figure grew increasingly blurred before vanishing completely.
Had it not been for the way the Demon-Slaying Dao Canon had refined his Internal Energy and sharpened his sight, and had he not been able to observe the faint traces of “Origin” around Li Xin’s body, he would have been almost unable to tell how the man had departed.
This concealnt art had already entered the Dao!
Cheng Yu lowered his gaze once more to the Sword Missive in his hand, and his confidence in completely annihilating Prince Qing’s Remnants grew even stronger.
With a thunderous crack, he drew the Thousand-Forged Ice-Thunder Xiuchun Saber from his waist and raised it high.
Then, in a ringing voice, he gave the order:
“Surround Iron Halberd Mountain! Do not let even a single rat escape!”
“Yes!”
A mountain-toppling roar answered him.
Taking the lead, Cheng Yu advanced with the Jinyiwei force to the foot of Iron Halberd Mountain.
When the sentries and gatekeepers of Prince Qing’s line saw the great host approaching with fierce montum, they cried out in alarm,
“Who dares disturb the land of the Descendants of Heavenly Fate?!”
They hurriedly shouted to stop them and struck the alarm bell, but in the very next instant they were swallowed by a rain of crossbow bolts.
Mounted on horseback, Cheng Yu coldly looked toward the gates of Iron Halberd Mountain.
His powerful Internal Energy surged to his throat, and his voice bood across the land like thunder.
“Prince Qing’s Remnants have thrown Great Qian into chaos. Generation after generation of rebels like you are intolerable beneath Heaven! Today, my Jinyiwei marches forth—we will surely exterminate you rebels and restore peace to the common people!”
“You rebel traitors defy Heaven itself! You are already surrounded by us, so why have you not yet surrendered your heads?!”
