Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 794 Welcome the Emperor Back
On Lingshan Mountain.

The air was gloomy and filled with chilly mist.

At this moment, the old man frowned, as if he was looking at the figure in white who was leaving. After a while, he asked, "Why?"

"Yes, why?"

Zi Gao nodded, then froze for a moment, looking at the old man with black mist all over his body in surprise, and said, "Father Wu doesn't know either?"

“Maybe it really has fallen into disrepair.”

The old man shook his head.

"Father Wu, can we build the Imperial Palace again?"

Zigao was silent for a moment.

Although he does not often live in the Imperial Palace, the fact that someone can destroy the Imperial Palace now means that there will be more people who can destroy the Imperial Palace.

But the imperial palace is not an ordinary palace after all.

Even though it was destroyed.

However, it does not mean that anyone can destroy the imperial palace or stop many enemies.

“It is impossible to build more.” The old man shook his head and said, “Without that trace of imperial power, even if we build more imperial palaces, they are not real imperial palaces.”

"This……"

Zi Gao frowned, feeling somewhat disappointed, and looked towards Lingshan Mountain, saying, "Wu Father, do you know who that person is? Why did he destroy the Imperial Palace?"

At this time, the old man smiled bitterly and said, "Who in the world can destroy the imperial palace?"

Zigao shook his head.

The world at this moment does not only refer to the unknown martial world, but to the entire world, including the Zhou world.

"Although I can't see that person clearly, I can vaguely feel the trembling of his soul..."

The old man said slowly.

Zigao: “…”

After a while.

"Father Wu, have you found any clues about the Sixteen Ghost Masters?"

Zigao said with some anticipation.

The Sixteen Ghost Lords are Dayi Shang’s greatest killing weapon!
If Wu Fu could copy it, Dayi Shang would surely be able to dominate the world again, and he could also fight back.

Unfortunately, over the past two thousand years.

Rumor has it that the witch father has tried countless times but always failed. It seems basically impossible to succeed.

“Although we finally have some clues, they are not the sixteen ghost masters, but new ghosts…”

The old man was silent for a moment.

"How strong are you? Can you enter the holy realm?"

Zigao asked expectantly.

“Although they cannot enter the holy realm, they can get infinitely close to it.” The old man said with some pride, “However, when they are born, they are at most ordinary ghost kings, but as they devour more dead souls, their strength will become stronger.”

"In an age when it is impossible to attain sainthood, being infinitely close to the saintly realm is already equivalent to being a saint."

Zigao said a little excitedly.

But at this moment, the old man shook his head and said, "The man in white who just left is a terrifying existence in the holy realm. The current era is no longer an era where it is impossible to become a saint..."

"..."

Zi Gao was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Father Wu, is it really possible to become a saint in this era? But why can't I feel the opening of the path to sainthood?"

"There's none?"

The witch father was a little surprised.

Maybe others couldn't feel it, but how could the emperor of Dayi Shang not feel it? The current Dayi Shang has always inherited the luck of the Ghost Country, the mysterious power of the Ghost Country, and all kinds of inexplicable causes and effects...

Especially the position of Emperor Shang of Dayi.

Because of this, even the Black Robes were afraid of Zi Gao, the Witch King, who was extremely powerful.

Because it would be easy for Zigao to kill the man in black robe.

However, it was extremely difficult, even impossible, for the man in black to kill Zigao.

"No."

Zi Gao looked up at the sky and felt it carefully again. After a moment, he said, "Although the Holy Road has indeed been opened, it has not been completely opened..."

"No one should become a saint at this time!"

"Even if this era can be sanctified, it is not now..."

Zigao's face was full of confusion.

He vaguely felt that the path to sainthood had not been completely opened, and no one should be able to become a saint. However, the man in white just now seemed to be a saint...

This is quite contradictory.

"Since it is not possible to become a saint at this time, but someone did become a saint, this can only mean one thing."

The old man began to tremble slightly.

He seemed to have thought of something.

"What does it mean?"

Zigao was a little surprised.

“He is not sanctified now, but he has already been sanctified.”

The old man said.

"Uh……"

Zi Gao was stunned for a moment, his brows gradually furrowed, and he said, "Father Wu, are you saying that the man in white has already become a saint?"

"That's all."

The old man said, but he seemed to think of something wrong, and he seemed to think of something else, but in the end he still couldn't be sure. He always felt that it might be the return of the emperor.

But can the emperor really come back?

he does not know.

In his heart, there is only one emperor, the one who founded the Ghost Trader...

Although Zi Gao inherited the throne of the emperor of Dayi Shang, he was only an heir and could not be considered a true emperor.

Zi Gao did not have the position of Emperor of Heaven and Earth.

Weathered in the imperial palace.

He was extremely furious, but because he couldn't see who the person was, he held back and didn't attack. But after he calmed down, he realized that the Imperial Palace was not something that anyone could destroy, even those in the Saint Realm could not easily...

Even the existence in the holy realm destroyed the imperial palace.

but.

Unable to destroy the imperial power hidden in the imperial palace...

However, he did not feel the presence of the imperial power, as if it had completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

There are only two outcomes.

One is that the emperor returns and destroys the imperial palace with his own hands.

But why?
How could the emperor destroy his own palace?

Second, the emperor was completely reduced to ashes, leaving no trace behind, and his imperial power naturally disappeared.

Although the emperor was completely wiped out, the Dayi Chamber of Commerce immediately fell apart.

Why does Dayi Shang exist?

This is because the current Dayi Shang has inherited the cause and effect of the Great Emperor...

"Forget it, leave him alone."

Zigao shook his head, bowed three times respectfully towards Lingshan Mountain, and walked down.

The old man glanced at Zigao's departing figure, then he sighed and looked towards Lingshan Mountain, and said softly: "Great Emperor, you are back?"

"If you have returned, why did you destroy the Imperial Palace?"

"Did I do something wrong?"

The old man knelt down respectfully and said softly: "In the past two thousand years, I have never done anything to let down the Great Emperor, nor have I done anything to let down the Great Yi Shang. But, Great Emperor, why do your descendants always want to kill me?"

"I have already been guarding the sacred mountain, but they still want to kill me."

"They always think that only by killing me can they truly control Dayi Shang and truly become the emperor..."

"But……"

"I have only been in charge of Lingshan and the tombs, and they still want to kill me?"

The old man smiled bitterly.

Although he was the witch chief of Dayi Shang and was in charge of the witch clan of Dayi Shang, he was only in charge of Lingshan.

Not to mention interfering in Dayi's commercial affairs, he didn't even care about the affairs of the witch clan.

but.

The heirs of Dayi Shang still felt that his power was too great and threatened their status...

He will not die.

The heirs of Dayi Shang were uneasy.

One is like this, two is like this, three is still like this...

Almost every heir of Dayi Shang wants him dead, wants to kill him, and wants to control the power he controls.

but now.

He only controls Lingshan.

But can they control his power?
Or maybe he lived too long, or he rebuilt Dayi Shang single-handedly, which made Dayi Shang's successors uneasy. Or maybe in the eyes of Dayi Shang's successors, the witch master could replace one successor at will and establish another one... in Dayi Shang.

The first witch master was Ah Heng...

Therefore, the witch master has a lofty status in the great city of Shang.

"Ugh--"

The old man sighed.

He constantly weakened his power, and even when he was reduced to only being in charge of Lingshan, the heirs of Dayi Shang still wanted to get rid of him.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

The old man bowed again, his head pressed tightly against the floor.

At this moment, his soul suddenly trembled, as if he sensed something, causing his body to tremble violently.

He seemed to sense the breath of the emperor.

Although he was only a young soldier with good talents more than two thousand years ago, he had once felt the aura of the emperor from afar.

This really seems to be the breath of the great emperor.

"Emperor?"

The old man called out in a trembling voice, somewhat unbelieving, "Are you back? Great Emperor, are you back?"

"Your servant has been guarding here, waiting for the emperor to return!"

the old man sobbed.

At some point, a figure in white had already appeared behind the old man. However, when he appeared, the old man did not feel it.

"What should you do?"

Feng Qingyan smiled and pondered for a while, then said: "You should slap them and tell them that you are the witch master of Dayi Shang."

The old man gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, but his whole body suddenly froze.

The emperor is back?
Is it really the return of the emperor?

The old man seemed to be petrified, even his thoughts were frozen, and he couldn't come back to his senses at all.

After a while.

The old man slowly turned his head.

But at this moment, a pair of indescribable hands helped him up.

The old man turned around and saw a man in white. When he saw the face of the man in white, he was stunned.

"Big, big, big..."

The old man's lips trembled and he was unable to utter a complete sentence.

At this moment, his soul was shaking violently, as if a terrible change had occurred, or he had aged countless years in an instant.

his soul.

I am really aging, aging countless years in an instant.

It seemed that there was some mysterious power that was able to support his soul from aging.

That is why they have been able to live for more than two thousand years.

but.

The moment he saw the emperor.

That mysterious power disappeared in an instant.

So he grew old.

"I think I've seen it before..."

Feng Qingyan said as he looked at the rapidly aging old man.

For some reason, he seemed to vaguely remember a scene, as if the old man was once just a soldier.

A small soldier with good talents.

Very young, very passionate, very dreamy, and very perseverant.

otherwise.

The former soldier has become the witch leader of Dayi Shang and rebuilt Dayi Shang with his own hands.

"Wuzhu Xiaobing, Luo Su, welcome the return of the Great Emperor."

The old man's eyes kept widening, his pupils seemed to be shrinking, his soul was trembling violently, and his thin body was shaking. But at this moment, he burst out with the most terrifying power, as if tearing the world around him apart.

He dropped suddenly to his knees.

His knee hit the ground with a loud bang, causing the entire world to tremble.

"Wuzhu Xiaobing, Luo Su, welcome the return of the Great Emperor!"

"Wu Shen's little soldier, Luo Su, welcome the emperor back!"

Every time the old man kowtowed, he shouted with all his might, and his shouts echoed through the heavens and earth and made the earth shake.

All living beings within a thousand miles of Chaoge can hear it.

now.

At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, in Chaoge City, almost everyone was looking towards Lingshan with a look of confusion on their faces.

In particular, Zi Gao, who had just come down from Lingshan Mountain and was riding on the emperor's chariot, was a little surprised when he heard the old man shouting with all his might.

and.

An extremely terrifying aura burst out from the sacred mountain.

"What is this old ghost doing?"

Zi Gao turned his head and frowned as he looked towards the mountainside. He said, "I was just about to leave, and you want to welcome me back? I'm already in Chaoge, so why should I welcome you? Humph, it turns out that an old man who refuses to die is a thief..."

"Old ghost, when the sixteen ghost masters are born, that will be your death!"

Zigao said in his heart.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you get up and head to the Deer Courtyard?"

Zi Gao saw the black-clad palace servants carrying the sedan chair, but they just stood there without moving, and he suddenly became angry.

"Emperor?"

The leading palace servant in black kept bending over and lowering his head, and whispered, "Aren't you going back to the mountain?"

"Back to the mountain?"

Zi Gao glanced at Lingshan and sneered, "If you want to show respect to this emperor, then come to the foot of the mountain to welcome him in person, Wu Father..."

"Still not leaving?"

Zi Gao shouted angrily.

Thirty-six palace servants in black quickly carried the sedan chair to the Deer Courtyard.

However, not long after the Emperor's chariot had gone out, Zi Gao suddenly stepped down from it and flew towards Lingshan step by step.

As for going up the stairs step by step?

He doesn't care that much.

But in the blink of an eye, he was back to the huge stone platform on the mountainside, even on the altar.

I saw the old man kneeling in front of a young man in white with great respect, even more respectful than he was to him.

It’s like worshiping the former emperor.

At this moment, Zigao's heart was suddenly filled with anger, but he did not move. He just looked coldly at the old man and the man in white.

This man in white could be the Saint Realm...

Isn't he gone?

Why did he come back?

Also, why did the old ghost kneel at the feet of the man in white?

And at this time.

Behind Zigao, a group of vague black mist suddenly appeared.

The black fog became clearer and larger, and terrifying ghosts appeared one after another, wearing cold armor...

This is his ghost guard!
At this moment, the ghost guard behind Zigao stared coldly at the old man and the man in white, with terrible murderous intent bursting from his cold eyes.

All it takes is a thought from Zigao.

They will attack without hesitation, even if the opponent is a being in the holy realm.

In the present-day Dayi Shangzhong.

There are three forces.

One is the power of martial arts.

The second is the power of witches.

The third is the power of ghosts.

Even the three kinds of practice, namely martial arts practice, witch practice and ghost practice, have three kinds of powers.

The martial arts practitioners of Dayi Shang are usually soldiers, generals, or warriors from the civilian world. The witch practitioners are naturally people from the witch clan, who hold various important positions in Dayi Shang, specializing in sacrifices, divination, good and bad luck, etc.

As for the ghost cultivators.

It is the most mysterious power of Dayi Shang.

Only the imperial family, or a few nobles such as princes, can practice. Moreover, all ghost cultivators only obey the orders of the great emperor, that is, Zi Gao...
