Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 203 Zhu Jinzhen's Purpose, Shameless Words
The Jingnian Temple fell into an eerie, deathly silence.

The heroes who had been shouting and threatening to kill just moments before stopped a hundred feet away.

Within a hundred feet, people were kneeling all over the ground.

The dust and smoke were blown away by the wind, revealing the disheveled and blood-soaked Song Que, Tian Seng, Emperor Heart Venerable, Ning Daoqi and others. They couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes flashing with fear.

One word can influence the world.

Just like the First Emperor who once commanded the four seas and eight wastelands and was the only one in the world.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

With the Heavenly Sword in one hand and the Jade Disc of He Shi Bi in the other, Zhao Min appeared weak and alone to the heroes of the world, but in reality, she was terrifying beyond comprehension, because in the short time they were stunned...

Pang Ban and the others were resurrected.

With a pale face, he stood guard in front of Zhao Min.

Five human bombs of god-like caliber, ready to perish together at the slightest provocation.

Anyone who sees an enemy like that would turn and run away.

Even madmen like Lian Yankuangtu and people with celestial bodies like Zhu Fajia would feel their scalps tingle.

In such an eerie atmosphere.

High above, several figures were observing them with interest.

"Your Highness?"

Yan Yimei stared in surprise at Zhu Jinzhen, who had suddenly appeared. According to her calculations, the Ming Dynasty should have reached a critical moment in the Jingnan Campaign. Why did her prince have time to come here?

I feel somewhat uneasy.

Zhu Jinzhen nodded to Yan Yimei, looking down at the scene below, as if murmuring, or perhaps explaining: "The thing I was most worried about has happened. In a blind spot that I can't even see, there seems to be one or a group of variables active."

"The Jingnian Zen Temple is stirring up trouble across the land. I'll come and see if I can catch a few rats."

The matter of the Heavenly Sword.

Zhu Jinzhen had long ago handed over all authority to Yan Yimei; he had no intention of coming.

However, the incident at Hengshan served as a wake-up call for him.

I felt something was off, and I felt uneasy.

Just then, Zhao Min triggered the sword intent he left behind within the Heavenly Sword, so he simply used the Anywhere Door to come over and see if any changes had occurred in this world that he hadn't noticed.

After all, compared to something as trivial as the "Golden Basin Handwashing Ceremony" in Hengshan, it's all insignificant.

Jingnian Temple is now a gathering place for heroes from all over the world. There is no greater event than this. If rats really exist, they would not miss it and would definitely participate.

"A rat?" Yan Yimei frowned in confusion, then seemed to realize something, her delicate body suddenly trembled, and she asked using the method of telepathy, "Is Your Highness referring to the possible supernatural being that you ordered the secret guard Bai Zhantang and the secret guard Lu Xiaofeng, who was later guided by Sikong Zhaixing to join, to pay special attention to?"

At the time, rumors were rampant in the capital that Zhu Jinzhen intended to rebel, colluded with foreign powers, and was suspected of treason.

The secret guards themselves are fully capable of handling this.

However, the involvement of Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng changed Zhu Jinzhen's mind. He decided to have Sikong Zhaixing guide Lu Xiaofeng to join in and gave him the most special secret guard mission.

This matter involved all the high-ranking officials under the Prince Su's command.

Very few people know this.

One is Li Chengen, the Grand Commander of the Tian Ce Mansion, and the other is Changsun Wangqing, the Commander of the Cang Yun Army.

Then there's Yan Yimei, the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Secret Guard.

The difference is that Zhu Jinzhen's plan to keep an eye on the rats in Qixia Town, which Bai Zhantang had been tasked with keeping an eye on, hadn't resulted in a single one being caught in years, and things had remained peaceful. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaofeng, having only recently joined the group, hadn't made any progress in reporting on any extraordinary individuals who had suddenly appeared around him or in the martial arts world.

But Yan Yimei hadn't expected that the rats her prince was guarding against actually seemed to be showing signs of life.
"Ok!"

Zhu Jinzhen nodded gravely. If he had known the source of the incident, he wouldn't have needed to come in person. Yan Yimei, who was above the terrestrial celestial realm, was personally overseeing the situation, and Li Wuyi and his group of terrestrial immortals had already arrived.

Even if the Sui Dynasty gathered heroes from all over the world and countless hidden monsters, they still couldn't stir up too much trouble.

Everything had to proceed according to the script he had designed. Zhu Jinzhen hadn't come to interfere; he was just there to see if there really were any rats that had sneaked in from outside and infiltrated this martial arts world.

When it comes to catching mice, everything else has to give way.

"what?"

During their conversation, Yan Yimei suddenly frowned and looked down: "Your Highness, they seem to be intimidated."

"It's just a temporary thing." Zhu Jinzhen chuckled and shook his head, saying, "As long as the benefits are great enough, let alone just a force to be feared, even if Zhao Min could slaughter immortals on land at will, countless people would still take the risk."

"After all, the Heavenly Sword and the Jade Disc in her hands are a power that can rewrite history."

Will those people at Jingnian Zen Temple back down?

The answer is yes.

will not.

Whether it was the Heavenly Sword's power to revive the dead, its value as a key to unlocking the First Emperor's Mausoleum, or Yan Yimei's help to Zhao Min earlier, which used her overwhelming power to subdue everyone, surpassing even that of a celestial being on land.

This will only make those people wary, not give up.

In fact, with Shi Zhixuan's words, the heroes will only become more frenzied.

"Heh, you can even justify this? You think you can make the world believe it?" Zhu Jinzhen looked down at everything at Jingnian Temple and almost applauded Shi Zhixuan's wild imagination.

He glanced at Yan Yimei beside him, as if to say, "See, as long as there are enough benefits, the enemy will help them continue to cover up their absurd lies without our intervention."

Below is the Jingnian Zen Temple.

Although the self-destruction of the six terrestrial immortals left many people in a sorry state and even severely injured dozens, very few actually died.

Without him.

The powerful land immortals like Yan Kuangtu were so strong that those with weaker cultivation levels couldn't get too close and thus narrowly escaped disaster.

Zhu Fajia clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist prayer, then ripped off his tattered monk's robe. His eyes were fixed on the Heavenly Sword and the Jade Disc in Zhao Min's hands, revealing his greed for the first time: "Amitabha, to bring the dead back to life and control life and death, truly unfathomable."

"The senior monk wants it?"

Zhao Min deliberately shook the hand that was holding the Heavenly Sword, revealing a sneer: "Greed, anger, ignorance, and hatred are the four poisons of Buddhism. Master, you've become attached to appearances!"

"Amitabha, this humble monk is dull-witted. If I could be enlightened by the Heavenly Sword and enter the realm of the celestial being on land, even if I were to return to secular life and rely on everything within the First Emperor's Mausoleum to achieve immortality and rule the country for thousands of generations, I would not necessarily have to abide by those strict rules and regulations!" Zhu Fajia smiled and pressed forward step by step, each step causing the earth to tremble.

Zhao Min, and everyone else present, couldn't help but roll their eyes upon hearing these shameless words.

But everyone's thoughts were pretty much the same.

Yan Kuangtu and his gang were also sharpening their knives, ready to pounce.

They had previously questioned the power of the Heavenly Sword, but after witnessing Pang Ban and the others drag them down with them, and even though they were all reduced to ashes, they were able to come back to life and be restored to their original state.

No one had any doubts left in their hearts.

They want the Heavenly Sword.

They also want the He Shi Bi jade.

They also want the secrets of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, the twelve golden statues and hundreds of thousands of Qin terracotta warriors at the terrestrial immortal level within the mausoleum, as well as the 'Celestial Star' that can easily create one terrestrial immortal level being after another.

Anyone who gets in the way dies!
A chilling atmosphere was rapidly increasing and spreading.

A series of terrifying auras locked onto Zhao Min and Pang Ban and the others beside her. Faced with that power that was enough to overturn the world and change history, let alone just six mere terrestrial immortals.

There are sixty of them ahead... so they really can't beat them.

But Zhao Min only had six men by her side.

and so……

Rob!!
