However, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished explaining his ideas, he was ruthlessly rejected by Zhu Ying, who immediately said, "Old man, you'd better not take action."

"You are the emperor of the Great Ming Empire. If something were to happen to you, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Furthermore, you will have more opportunities to make a move in the future."

In Zhu Ying's view, Zhu Yuanzhang's current realm is that of a Grandmaster, although the Grandmaster realm is already considered one of the stronger realms in this [Comprehensive Martial World].

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's actual combat ability was average. If he were to fight against a martial arts master of the same Grandmaster level, he would actually find no advantage whatsoever.

Since that was the case, Zhu Ying simply refused to let Zhu Yuanzhang take action.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat annoyed after Zhu Ying finished speaking, he still accepted it.

"Fine, since Xiong Ying won't let us make a move, then we won't. However, we'll observe from the sidelines."

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's condition, Zhu Ying did not refuse. He nodded to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "As long as the old man doesn't interfere, everything is negotiable."

then.

Zhu Ying then asked Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, who was standing beside him, "By the way, Father, is the Ming Dynasty still at peace?"

Zhu Ying suddenly remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and himself were all in this [Comprehensive Martial World], so there was no one to oversee the main world of the Ming Dynasty.

Although it was impossible for any other force in the Great Ming Main Realm to resist, Zhu Ying was still somewhat uneasy.

Zhu Biao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Xiong Ying. Currently, Wen Xi is mainly in charge of the main Ming territory. Now that Wen Xi has grown up, he naturally needs to be trained more."

When Zhu Ying heard that it was Wen Xi who was in charge of the main territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying was completely relieved.

After all, Zhu Ying knew very well that with Zhu Wenxi's current strength, he was fully capable of handling the political affairs of the [Great Ming Main Realm]. In addition, Zhu Wenxi was also the fourth-generation successor of the Great Ming Empire, so it was naturally most appropriate to have Zhu Wenxi stationed in the capital city.

"That's good."

Zhu Ying slowly said, "Since Wenxi is in charge, then there is no problem!"

……

At this moment, in the State of Song, at Zhongnan Mountain.

Within the Quanzhen School.

Officials from the State of Song have also arrived.

"Where is Wang Chongyang? Summon him here immediately to receive the imperial decree!"

This Song official was extremely arrogant and domineering. When he arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, he shouted at the Quanzhen Taoist priest who came to inquire about his identity.

When the Taoist priests heard that the emperor had sent them, they were naturally startled.

So he immediately reported the matter to Ma Yu, the eldest brother of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

Not long after, Ma Yu hurriedly arrived in front of the Song official.

Ma Yu, after all, was the leader of the Seven Immortals of Quanzhen, and he had seen many grand occasions. Therefore, when Ma Yu saw these Song officials, he was not flustered at all.

Ma Yu first bowed to the Song official, then asked, "May I ask, sir, what brings you to Zhongnan Mountain?"

These Song officials did not recognize Ma Yu, so they mistook him for Wang Chongyang.

"You are Wang Chongyang?"

Upon seeing this, Ma Yu quickly shook his head and denied it, saying, "I am not your master, I am Ma Yu."

After introducing himself to the Song officials, Ma Yu hurriedly asked, "May I ask, gentlemen, what business do you have with my master?"

The Song official in charge was clearly impatient. He said directly, "How many times have I told you? Quickly bring Wang Chongyang to receive the imperial decree!"

"Receive the imperial decree..." To be honest, when Ma Yu heard the words "Receive the imperial decree," his expression immediately became somewhat solemn.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is His Majesty's decree? My master is currently engaged in cultivation and it may be difficult for him to receive an audience! How about I, a humble Taoist priest, receive the decree on my master's behalf?"

After Ma Yu finished speaking, the Song official cursed, "This Wang Chongyang is quite arrogant, daring to refuse the imperial decree! If the emperor finds out, he will surely take Wang Chongyang's life!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"I'll only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Quickly get Wang Chongyang to accept the decree. If Wang Chongyang doesn't appear within that time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After the Song official finished speaking, Ma Yu immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly said to the official, "Please... sir, calm down! I will consult my master immediately!"

Done.

Ma Yu vanished from everyone's sight in a single leap.

Not long after.

Within the Quanzhen School.

Ma Yu then summoned all seven disciples of Quanzhen.

"Master is currently cultivating, but now the Emperor of Song has sent someone to summon him to receive an imperial decree. What do you all think we should do?"

After Ma Yu finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Clearly, no one expected that the Song emperor would suddenly summon Wang Chongyang.

"Senior brother, you decide!"

At this moment, Qiu Chuji spoke to Ma Yu.

After Qiu Chuji finished speaking, everyone else agreed.

"Yes, senior brother, you are the eldest brother of all of us. Since Master is currently in seclusion, it is natural for you to take charge of all matters, big and small, in the Quanzhen Sect!"

After a moment of thought, Ma Yu addressed the crowd, saying, "Since it is the decree issued by the Emperor of Song, then as the largest sect in Song, our Quanzhen Sect must naturally obey the decree of the Song court."

"Let's go together to Master's cultivation place and wake him up."

As soon as Ma Yu finished speaking, the other Quanzhen Taoists also agreed!
After a while.

All seven disciples of Quanzhen Sect arrived at the summit of Zhongnan Mountain. At that moment, Zhou Botong was playing around by himself outside the house where Wang Chongyang was cultivating.

"Uncle-Master!"

Upon seeing Zhou Botong, Ma Yu immediately shouted.

"Uncle-Master, something terrible has happened! The imperial court has sent people!"

However, Zhou Botong didn't care at all after hearing Ma Yu's words. In fact, he said with some impatience, "The people from the imperial court have arrived?"

"Could it be that the imperial court knows that I, Zhou Botong, am keeping bees without permission?"

Zhou Botong teased the bee while making sarcastic remarks.

"Uncle-Master, it's not about the bees, it's about... finding Master!"

"Senior Brother?" Zhou Botong's face immediately turned serious when he heard that it was about Wang Chongyang.

"Ma Yu, our senior brother is currently cultivating. What could the Song emperor possibly want with him at this time?"

Ma Yu shook his head and said, "Uncle-Master, I don't know either, but judging from the official's appearance, it seems to be something important."

Zhou Botong, however, remained disdainful and said, "Under heaven and earth, what could be more important than my senior brother's cultivation?"

Clearly, Zhou Botong didn't care about the so-called imperial court at all.

Seeing this, Qiu Chuji patiently explained to Zhou Botong, "Uncle-Master, since the Emperor specifically requested to see Master, let Master see him."

"if……"

Before Qiu Chuji could finish speaking, Zhou Botong shook his head and said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Senior Brother's cultivation has reached its most critical moment. He is only one step away from entering the Divine Power Realm. At this moment, we must not disturb him!"

Although Zhou Botong appears carefree and is known as the Old Rascal, he is extremely meticulous when it comes to matters concerning Wang Chongyang.

When Ma Yu and the others heard Zhou Botong's words, they were completely dumbfounded. They looked quite helpless.

After all, neither Zhou Botong nor the Song Dynasty court were people that the Seven Masters of Quanzhen dared to offend.

And just then...

Suddenly, Wang Chongyang's voice came from inside the house!
"Ma Yu!"

"Come in!"

Wang Chongyang's voice was remarkably deep and resonant, and at that moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the house.

"Senior brother has finished his cultivation?"

"Ma Yu! Since your senior brother wants you to go in, then hurry up and go in!"

Zhou Botong urged hurriedly.

Ma Yu, naturally, did not hesitate and immediately went into the room.

"Ma Yu, what happened?"

Wang Chongyang asked Ma Yu in an icy tone.

"Master, the imperial court has dispatched officials who specifically requested that you receive an imperial decree."

After Ma Yu finished speaking, Wang Chongyang's face darkened. Then, Wang Chongyang calculated with his fingers and said, "Not good, the world is indeed changing!"

Done.

Wang Chongyang then left the cultivation ground and came to Zhou Botong and the others.

After Wang Chongyang finished his seclusion, Zhou Botong hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, how was it? Did you break through to the Divine Power Realm?"

Wang Chongyang shook his head and said to Zhou Botong, "Junior brother, how can the Divine Power Realm be broken through so easily? Although I am already at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, it is extremely difficult for me to enter the Divine Power Realm."

At this time.

Wang Chongyang said to his disciples, "Let's go, follow your master to greet the imperial court!"

After speaking, Wang Chongyang and his entourage approached the Song official.

Despite being the leader of the Quanzhen Sect and a supreme grandmaster, Wang Chongyang still treated the Song Dynasty court official with great courtesy.

Wang Chongyang bowed to the Song officials and said, "I am Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect. May I ask what brings you gentlemen to Zhongnan Mountain?"

The leading Song official immediately said, "Wang Chongyang, His Majesty has decreed that the Jin Kingdom has now been destroyed, and the grandson of the Ming Emperor has already dispatched troops to the Song border!"

"Upon hearing of this, the Emperor feared that the grandson of the Ming Emperor would send troops to the Song Dynasty, so... the Emperor decided to send you, Wang Chongyang, to the capital to assassinate the grandson of the Ming Emperor!"

"Wang Chongyang, what do you think?"

To be honest, Wang Chongyang's expression didn't change at all after hearing the Jin Kingdom's decree.

The reason is also very simple.

Because... Wang Chongyang had already guessed the purpose of these officials' visit.

then.

Wang Chongyang replied, "This humble Taoist accepts the imperial decree!"

"Please convey to His Majesty that I am about to head to the capital to assassinate the grandson of the Ming emperor!"

Obviously.

After Wang Chongyang finished speaking, the Song officials were quite satisfied.

The leading official even said, "Master Wang, thank you for your trouble!"

……

After the Song official left, Ma Yu hurriedly said to Wang Chongyang, "Master, the strength of this Ming imperial grandson is unfathomable. If you rashly go to the capital, you may encounter danger."

Qiu Chuji also tried to dissuade him, saying, "Yes, Master, the grandson of the Ming Emperor killed Ouyang Feng with just one move, and Ouyang Feng was a top-tier grandmaster!"

"This is enough to show that the strength of this grandson of the Ming emperor is significantly greater than that of Ouyang Feng, and he may even be at the Divine Power Realm."

After Qiu Chuji finished speaking, Zhou Botong said, "Senior brother, if this grandson of the Ming emperor is truly at the Divine Power Realm, then you should not go!"

"This is far too dangerous!"

However, Wang Chongyang had already made up his mind.

"Stop trying to persuade us. Our Quanzhen Sect is the largest sect in the Song Kingdom. Now that the northern part of the Song Kingdom is under threat, it is only natural that the Quanzhen Sect should also make a contribution."

"The Seven Masters of Quanzhen!"

"This time, you will accompany your master to this great capital!"

Obviously.

Wang Chongyang knew very well that he had no way out and could only obey the court's orders.
……

half a month later.

Dadu City.

Inside the palace.

Zhu Ying sat expressionlessly on the dragon throne, flanked by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

Not long after.

Liu Lei, the commander of the guards, suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Ying.

"Your Highness!"

"Currently, a large number of martial arts masters have infiltrated this capital city!"

When Zhu Ying heard this, a hint of excitement appeared on his face. He said to Liu Lei, "Hmph, they've finally arrived. These people have kept me waiting for a long time."

"However, since martial arts masters from various countries have already arrived, why don't they come to assassinate me?"

As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Liu Lei immediately explained, "Your Highness, it's probably because no one dares to be the first to speak up..."

"After all, His Highness's name has already spread throughout the entire world!"

"Martial arts masters from all countries already know that His Highness defeated Ouyang Feng with just one move."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense."

"However, these martial arts experts who have infiltrated the capital will definitely make a move. Send someone to keep an eye on them!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Liu Lei immediately replied.

Just then.

Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, also came into the main hall.

"Your Highness, an envoy from Tibet requests an audience!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying dismissively said, "A Tibetan envoy? Hmph, I'm afraid this person is here to kill me."

Guo Zhen pressed further, "So, Your Highness, do you mean... you won't see him?"

Zhu Ying waved his hand and said, "I must see him! I absolutely must see him!"

"I'd like to see what this Tibetan envoy is really up to."

Soon after Zhu Ying finished speaking, Guo Zhen led the Tibetan envoy into the main hall.

This Tibetan envoy was none other than Huo Du, the disciple of the Golden Wheel Monk! (End of Chapter)
