My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 302 Dongfang Cang: Boy, you deserve my bow.

“General Niu, look, you saw Princess Wencheng sleeping soundly in the Qianqing Palace that day.”

Does it resemble it?

Gu Yuqing raised an eyebrow and pointed at the puppet in front of him.

A hint of mockery lingered between his brows.

"It's really you!"

Upon seeing the evil zombie that looked exactly like Princess Wencheng, Niu Baiye's face was filled with rage:

"You almost cost me my life!"

"Today I will rid the people of this scourge!"

"Shh!"

Niu Baiye's giant axe rose up as if it were falling from the sky.

"Bang!!!"

The soldier in front of him was chopped into dust by this axe.

A three-inch-wide crack stretched for a full two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) from where Niu Baiye's axe had fallen!

This strike was incredibly powerful!

"Go."

Gu Yuqing remained calm upon witnessing this scene.

He simply waved his hand lightly at the expressionless, evil zombie standing in front of him.

"Shh!"

The evil zombie suddenly opened its eyes.

Those eyes were devoid of any emotion.

It first mechanically raised its hand.

His gaze then fell upon Princess Wencheng, who was huddled in the corner.

"Kill that vile servant girl."

Gu Yuqing pointed to the corner where Princess Wencheng was.

"Oh!"

The evil zombie that looked exactly like Princess Wencheng suddenly stomped its foot on the ground.

next moment.

Her body shot straight toward Princess Wencheng like an arrow released from a bow.

Looking at Xie Jiang's back.

A hint of disappointment appeared on Gu Yuqing's face.

"Without the support of the body's spiritual power."

"The evil zombies created are only as strong as fifth-rank martial artists."

He murmured softly.

"Unfortunately, the evil zombie that I created was destroyed by that old codger from the Northern Dynasty."

……

"Your Highness, do not panic!"

Niu Baiye's voice rang out.

He went straight toward the evil zombie.

The giant axe was raised.

But... the evil zombie is faster than him!
His giant axe didn't even brush against the evil zombie's clothes.

"what!"

Princess Wencheng stared blankly at the approaching evil zombie.

All she could do at that moment was cry out helplessly.

The evil zombie remained expressionless.

It was less than ten feet away from Princess Wencheng.

"Snap!" A chilling light flashed on the evil zombie's hand.

The light of the knife flashed.

Princess Wencheng instinctively closed her eyes.

at that time
A soaring voice suddenly rang out.

"Bang!!"

A crimson sword descended from the sky!

It suddenly slammed diagonally into the ground.

Separate the evil zombie from Princess Wencheng.

After the crimson sword fell from the sky.

Gu Yuqing's smile froze.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

"The Divine Sword of the Primordial Ancestor!!"

He suddenly cried out.

Then he frantically looked up.

The empress descended from the heights with a cold gaze.

“Pah.”

She touched the ground with her toes and stared expressionlessly at the evil zombie in front of her.

"die!"

A punch was thrown.

The fiery realm slowly unfolded.

The evil zombie melted away.

Melted cleanly and efficiently.

The scorching domain of a fourth-rank martial artist was simply beyond the resistance of a fifth-rank evil zombie.

"Click~"

The crimson longsword was slowly drawn out by the Empress.

"His Majesty!!"

The moment I saw her appear.

Niu Baiye and Die'er, who were locked in fierce combat, suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Kill them all?"

Zeng Anmin lazily fell from the height at the same time as Bai Ziqing.

He looked at the armored soldiers in front of him.

And there's that chubby guy, Gu Yuqing.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Kill! Leave no one alive!!"

The Empress coldly looked up at Gu Yuqing and said:
"Spare his life. When the Ancestor awakens, I will extract his soul and use it to light a sky lantern."

"Hi~"

Zeng Anmin gasped.

The snake's mouth and belly are like swords.

The stinger on the wasp's tail.

Neither of them is poisonous.

The most poisonous woman's heart.

The ancients never lied to me.

Light a sky lantern?
What kind of punishment is this? I've never heard of it before.
"Gu Xiangnan! You...you're still alive?!"

"Where is the Bifang Demon King?!"

Gu Yuqing's voice was filled with disbelief.

His voice was delicate yet powerfully penetrating.

"It has become air."

Zeng Anmin shrugged: "It's a pity there's nothing to take a picture of, otherwise I could show you how it begged for mercy before it died."

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Yuqing did not hesitate at all. He glanced at Ling Xuzi, who was still working hard to channel spiritual energy into the altar.

A moment later, he suddenly stood up and flew into the sky.

"You're bullying us martial artists who can only fly after reaching the third rank!"

Bai Ziqing turned green with anger upon seeing this.

Without a second thought, he tiptoed and shot upwards.

"Get down here!!"

All the anger he had just suffered on the back mountain erupted at this moment...

"Oh!"

Gu Yuqing's body was violently pulled down by him.

After crashing heavily to the ground, the chubby boy's face was completely dazed.

"Gu Xiangnan, let me go, and I can guarantee Gu Yuqing's life!"

Gu Yuqing stared intently at the Empress.

Now, this is all he has left.

The moment the Empress reappeared here, he knew that Ling Xuzi had been defeated.

He himself was defeated.

All those years of planning have come to nothing.

He gave up the throne, and he gave up the fate of the nation.

Now all he wants is to get as far away as possible before Dongfang Cang wakes up!
"You must have also reached some kind of agreement with the Bifang Demon King."

Gu Yuqing remained calm and composed, staring intently at the Empress as he said:
"Otherwise, given its nature, it would never have let you come back."

"I don't know what agreement you reached."

"But I promise that, apart from saving this body's life, my Daoist Fu Sect will be willing to serve the Jiang Kingdom from now on."

His words trailed off.

The scene fell silent.

The Empress, Zeng Anmin, and Bai Ziqing's expressions turned somewhat strange.

The three exchanged a glance, and each could see the smile in the other's eyes.

"protocol?"

"You think we were able to come back because we reached an agreement with Bi Fang?"

Zeng Anmin was delighted.

It's clear that no one believes that the three of them killed a third-rank demon king.

"That's right, I'm officially telling you now, Bi Fang died by my sword, Bai Ziqing."

Bai Ziqing stared at Gu Yuqing indifferently.

"Fine, you killed Bifang."

Gu Yuqing took a deep breath.

He didn't want to argue about this issue at the moment.

"Gu Xiangnan, no, Your Majesty."

Gu Yuqing stared intently at Gu Xiangnan:
"Although I was infiltrating the Southern Dynasty's palace, I never harmed anyone's life."

"Never interfered in the politics of the Southern Dynasty..."

"And what about Jiang Chengxi?" The Empress looked at him coldly:
"I admit, the conditions you just proposed were very tempting."

"Your true form has a cultivation level of Rank 2."

"The Taoist sect has countless experts and is an extremely powerful force in the entire world."

"If all the Taoists can be trapped in my trap, I will be overjoyed."

As soon as these words came out.

A look of wild joy flashed in Gu Yuqing's eyes. He pursed his lips and then bowed to the Empress:

"Your Majesty, no! I am willing to serve Your Majesty like a beast of burden for the rest of my life!"

"To be treated like a beast of burden?" The Empress's lips curled into a mocking smile.

She lifted her eyelids slightly.

“However, with the awakening of the Eastern Ancestor, I request that he extract your soul, which will allow him to command the Daoist sect.”

Her voice carried a chilling undertone.

Gu Yuqing suddenly looked up.

His face was filled with utter horror.

However, before he could say anything more...

Then a slightly aged voice rang in everyone's ears.

“Not bad.” “Sect Master Guangling, I have a secret method to protect your soul.”

Dongfang Cang spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Traitorous disciple."

"Your relationship with your teacher ends today."

Dongfang Cang's empty eyes were filled with mystery.

At this moment, his face looked old.

But surprisingly, a few strands of black hair were faintly mixed in with the white hair on his head!
The sacrifice of the third-rank martial artist made him look much younger!

"Calm down."

"I'm tired."

Dongfang Cang's body rose into the sky.

He looked down at the chaos on Longyou Street.

He sighed softly and waved.

next moment.

Countless streams of air were swept away from his hands.

Ropes formed from spiritual energy bound tens of thousands of people in the arena to their original positions!

He rose to the rank of a fourth-grade military officer.

It extends down to ordinary people.

They were all bound hand and foot, standing there blankly.

The chaos of war suddenly came to a halt at this moment!
The scene suddenly fell completely silent!
"That old scoundrel from the East..."

Ling Xuzi was completely exhausted, as if he had been pulled out of the water, and he sat on the ground.

He looked up, staring intently at the eastern sky.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot.

Dongfang Cang chuckled softly.

He slowly lowered his head, looking down with a hint of pity in his eyes:

"That Void Necklace has always been right in front of you, yet you went to such lengths to find it."

"Have you forgotten all my past teachings?"

Ling Xuzi was taken aback.

His eyes showed confusion.

He stared blankly at Dongfang Cang.

After a long while, he suddenly gritted his teeth:

"fart!!"

"Your deduction method is complete utter nonsense!"

"I have deduced the location of the necklace more than once!"

"You old scoundrel! Tell me, how could anyone in this world possibly possess the aura of both Confucianism and Taoism, as well as martial arts?"

"You've wasted thirty years of my lifespan in vain!!"

He gritted his teeth, his gaze extremely sharp.

The words fell.

Dongfang Cang's eyes grew increasingly pitying.

He shook his head slightly:
"When I took you as my disciple, I valued your quick wit and your character that was not bound by worldly constraints."

"Unexpectedly, after years of cultivation, you have lost that spiritual energy."

"How lamentable."

As he said this, his gaze kept glancing at... Zeng Anmin.

Zeng Anmin's body stiffened at this moment.

He and Dongfang Cang locked eyes.

For a moment, only embarrassment remained on his face.

The Empress gently stepped in front of him, extending her fair hand to take his in hers.

Her phoenix eyes revealed both gentleness and determination.

Looking at the Empress.

Zeng Anmin's previously anxious heart suddenly felt much calmer.

See this scene.

A sigh came from the east:
"Ugh."

To everyone, this sigh sounded like a lament for his disciple's stubbornness.

But only Zeng Anmin and the Empress knew.

The sigh was directed at the two of them.

"That's it, that's all."

Dongfang Cang looked at Ling Xuzi, gently reached out his hand, and pointed lightly with his fingertips.

A strange rune formed by spiritual energy took shape.

With a flick of his finger.

The rune then flew towards Ling Xuzi.

"Om~"

The runes were visible to the naked eye as they merged into Ling Xuzi's body.

"This soul-binding lock only binds the spirit."

"It has no effect on your spiritual power or realm."

"From now on, follow your master and cultivate diligently."

In the end, Dongfang Cang did not kill him.

He looked at Ling Xuzi on the ground.

For a long time.

Another long sigh.

"As for the Eastern Sect disciples who made the move today..."

"Give him a proper burial."

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

"..."

As the words "May he be buried peacefully" fell.

In the square, the spiritual ropes binding the disciples of the Eastern Sect suddenly exploded!

One corpse after another fell to the ground.

……

"Sect Master of Guangling".

Dongfang Cang glanced indifferently in Gu Yuqing's direction.

"The soul is not in harmony with the body, and one must endure the pain of ten thousand ants gnawing at the heart at all times."

"You've suffered these past years."

Gu Yuqing gritted her teeth tightly.

He said nothing.

"Unfortunately, you'll have to endure this for a while longer."

"Do not resist this soul-binding chain."

Dongfang Cang's voice turned cold:

"I am not that cowardly turtle surnamed Xu."

"He can only stand in the Northern Dynasty, but I can leave the Jiang Kingdom."

"Don't even think about using secret techniques to escape, or all that awaits you is death and the annihilation of your soul."

Between words.

The runes of the Soul-Binding Lock slowly formed.

It slowly drifted towards Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing clenched her fists tightly.

They watched helplessly as the Soul-Binding Chains drew closer.

After a long time.

His body deflated like a punctured balloon, becoming limp.

He closed his eyes.

No longer resisting.

At this point, this is the only option.

"Don't worry, the Soul Binding Lock will only last for ten years. After ten years, I will grant you your freedom."

After Dongfang Cang finished speaking, his gaze searched again.

At last.

His gaze fell on Zeng Anmin.

"Boy."

"well done."

"For what happened today, I deserve to bow to you."

“But there are quite a lot of people here now, it’s not appropriate for the ancestor to worship you.”

"Come find me tomorrow, and I will personally bestow upon you a great fortune."

The sound was very soft.

Even Zeng Anmin could barely hear it.

But Zeng Anmin was absolutely certain that it was Dongfang Cang's voice!
He looked up at Dongfang Cang in astonishment.

Dongfang Cang also looked at him with a smile.

it is more than words.

"what happened?"

The Empress looked at Zeng Anmin's astonished face, her brows furrowing slightly as she asked softly.

"Uh, it's nothing."

Zeng Anmin waved his hand.

He looked at Dongfang Cang, who was suspended in the air, with a puzzled expression.

"My seclusion has ended."

"From now on, our Jiang Kingdom shall honor Confucianism and Taoism."

Dongfang Cang suddenly looked up, his gaze turning sinister as he stared into the distance.

That's the direction of the demon race.

…………

In the Imperial Palace of Tokyo.

"Brother-in-law!"

Xiao Wencheng has now regained his former vitality.

She looked up at Zeng Anmin in front of her, and then at her sister standing beside her.

A pure smile appeared on her face:
"I feel like my brother-in-law is getting more and more pleasing to the eye!"

Six hours have passed since the blood moon of the previous night.

Zeng Anmin didn't leave last night either; he followed the Empress to the palace and spent the night indulging in debauchery in the Imperial Study.

He was there waiting for Dongfang Cang.

“Zeng Lang”.

The Empress looked at Zeng Anmin gently:
“Reveal your true colors to Wencheng.”

"Before you leave, let her know what you really look like."

"Ok."

Zeng Anmin smiled slightly, and then withdrew the spiritual power from the talisman on his back.

next moment.

Princess Wencheng only felt that Zeng Anmin's face was blurry for a moment, and then became crystal clear.

After seeing Zeng Anmin's face clearly.

Princess Wencheng's small mouth suddenly opened wide.

"So...so handsome!!"

"Sister! I want to marry too... mmm~"

The Empress, her face grim, covered Wencheng's mouth and rebuked him:
"Speaking without restraint! He deserves punishment!"
