Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 435 Extra: This moment is just like that moment!

After the battle between the leader of the Taiping Dao and Emperor Xiping, they both perished.

However, the cause of death was suspicious, which caused some commotion.

Rumors circulated that the deaths of the two men were related to the Guo family.

However, before the investigation could be completed, the Taiping Dao followers who had rebelled in various places, led by the Three Dukes of Heaven, Earth and Man, besieged the city.

Because of the strength of the Taiping Dao, the rebel army now numbers as many as a million in various regions.

"Lord Minister, the capital is now under siege. What should we do?" Emperor Xiping asked anxiously.

After Emperor Xiping died, Guo Feng, the head of the Guo family, supported a six-year-old prince to ascend the throne and corrupted him with wine, women, wealth and power.

He's now a complete bum.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, they are just a bunch of ant-like thieves. They can't harm Your Majesty's health," Guo Feng said casually.

Meanwhile, Guo Ming, holding the Su Nu Sword as a guard, was lamenting that the Taiping Book had arrived a little late.

If this had happened earlier, Chu Danqing's Peace Ring could have been upgraded. What a pity.

He killed both the leader of the Taiping Dao and the previous Emperor Xiping, and now the Guo family holds immense power in the court.

His entire staff, from top to bottom, consisted of his protégés and former subordinates, making him incredibly powerful and influential.

However, this also created a problem: it was difficult to usurp the throne.

His reputation is too good; if he were to usurp the throne, it would surely backfire.

As for the three essential tools for rebellion, they probably won't be needed.

"Hmph, how dare Guo Sikong utter such deceitful words to His Majesty?" an old man coldly rebuked. "Now, several prefectures across the land have fallen, and various regions have raised their own armies and declared independence."

"So-called ant-thieves are a great scourge. What are your intentions in underestimating rebellion like this!"

The speaker was Wei Renyue, who was one of the Three Dukes along with Guo Feng.

The Wei family was once a large family, just like the Guo family, but now it is far inferior.

They didn't even notice how the Guo family rose to power; by the time they realized it, the Guo family had already become a behemoth, even controlling the imperial court.

Guo Feng smiled and said, "The affairs of the world are in my hands. Who dares to disobey? Don't you agree, Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiping immediately nodded: "Minister Guo is right."

He had no desire to deal with those official documents and petitions; wouldn't it be better to spend his days eating, drinking, and having fun?

In any case, Guo Sikong was just a subject, and not only did he not overstep his bounds, but he was also presented with all kinds of beauties, delicacies and playthings, which can be described as a great pleasure.

The reason he thought this way was because he had experienced the hardships of these political affairs.

This comparison makes the choice clear.

Upon hearing Emperor Xiping's words, Wei Renyue's face turned red.

Since the emperor has said so, how can he refute it?

In the end, he could only say resentfully, "Since Minister Guo is in charge of all affairs of the world, please withdraw the troops under the city walls."

By now, Wei Renyue was no longer concerned with vying for power and profit; instead, he was figuring out how to extricate himself from the situation.

His original intention was for all the major families to cooperate sincerely and eliminate the scourge of the Way of Peace as soon as possible.

However, Guo did not seem to have this idea, which puzzled him greatly.

Before Guo Feng could answer, a furious roar was heard.

"You dog emperor, give me back my master's life!" This voice was the roar of the Heavenly Justice Master.

Wei Renyue's expression immediately changed: "Oh no, the city has fallen."

With the grand array set up in Kyoto, it was naturally impossible for sounds to travel from outside the city to inside.

"Slaughter this dog emperor's entire family first, and make sure Xiping has no descendants!" A second voice came, and it was the Taoist priest who spoke.

If we're talking about hatred, this fair-minded man not only lost his master, but also his own son. How could he possibly swallow this insult?

Therefore, he has been the most active since the uprising began.

Just as Wei Renyue was about to say something, he saw a sword light pierce through Emperor Xiping's head, and the emperor was dead beyond any doubt.

He didn't even know who did it or when.

"Oh no! The Taiping heretic has murdered the emperor!!!" Guo Feng roared immediately, his anger mixed with grief.

Wei Renyue could understand, after all, the Guo family had finally reached this point, only to have the emperor they controlled die.

However, he did not notice that Guo Ming had disappeared at some point.

"Quickly, quickly mobilize the Imperial Guards, lest the Taiping heretic kill other imperial relatives," Guo Feng said hastily, seemingly realizing the situation.

Wei Renyue immediately rose to receive the order, then turned and left the palace, returning to the Wei residence at an extremely fast pace.

Saving people? What's the benefit? Preserving one's own clan is the right thing to do.

On the other side, the three Taoist masters of Heaven, Earth, and Man led their troops into the city and went straight into the palace, intending to kill all members of the royal family, just as they had said.

But after they arrived, the entire royal family was wiped out.

When they arrived, they saw a young man wiping a sword, as if he was waiting for them.

"The three of you are a little late." Guo Ming wrung out his handkerchief, and blood dripped down. After putting the handkerchief into his pocket, he looked at the Justice Master.

"Long time no see, Master of Justice." Guo Ming chuckled softly, "This moment is just like that moment."

Back then, he and Chu Danqing hid behind Da Bao.

Now, the Human Justice Master stands behind the Heavenly Justice Master.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, the group instantly understood the cause and effect.

"The Guo family plots to usurp the throne," the Taoist priest said hoarsely.

"That's right." Guo Ming didn't hide anything and said directly, "The fate of heaven changes, and divine artifacts are replaced. This is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth."

As Guo Ming spoke, the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Formation enveloped the entire capital.

"The Taiping Dao murdered the emperor and slaughtered the royal family. Their crimes are unforgivable and they deserve to be executed!" Since the backlash from plotting to usurp the throne would be too great due to their reputation, then it's simple.

The royal family is all dead, and so are the enemies.

Then, as the most powerful force, the Guo family would have no problem becoming emperor.

They did this not only for legitimate reasons, but also because they were avenging the previous dynasty, which was to inherit the rightful succession.

The Taoist Master Tiangong's expression changed: "So you killed my master."

He didn't understand why Guo Ming could have such great strength at such a young age.

Before Guo Ming could answer, the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Formation had already attacked.

The three had no choice but to grit their teeth and defend themselves.

The gap between the two sides is simply too large.

The three Daoist masters of Heaven, Earth, and Man fought desperately, but their injuries multiplied, and they would die within half a quarter of an hour.

The other Taiping Dao followers were powerless to resist and died without a trace under the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Formation.

This scene made the Taoist priest's eyes widen in horror.

They had already fought their way to Kyoto, and were just one step away from avenging their master and changing the world.

But now everything has been lost, and even his own life is in danger.

Before Guo died, the public-spirited Taoist priest was unwilling to accept his fate and wanted to ruin Guo's plans.

Unfortunately, just as he opened his mouth, the female sword spirit's sniper rifle blasted his head to pieces.

When the head was blasted open by the sword energy, blood and flesh splattered onto the two fair masters of heaven and earth.

The three were brothers who had supported each other since childhood, and their deep bond goes without saying.

Seeing the justice judge die before his eyes, he was naturally furious.

If you're not strong enough, what good is anger?

The Sword Spirit of the Plain Maiden turned her gun around and aimed it at the Earthly Justice Master.

The Taoist priest wanted to provide assistance, but he was ultimately too late.

He could only watch helplessly as the geomancer's head shattered.

Turning back, his eyes were filled with hatred.

But soon, the hatred vanished, and so did the gaze.

Of course, the head was gone too.

The three Taoist masters, Heaven, Earth, and Man, have died.

With this, the Taiping Dao had lost its high-level combat power, and its demise was only a matter of time.

"What a pity." Guo Ming sighed. If Chu Danqing were here, he might have been able to get a Destiny Treasure Chest, or at least a Brilliant-grade chest with shimmering patterns.

“I never imagined you, Ming’er, could be so sentimental.” Guo Feng stepped forward.

Guo Ming dealt with the Taiping Dao at the forefront, while he naturally cleaned up the mess in the rear, ensuring that all members of the royal family died at the hands of the Taiping Dao.

"Sentimental?" Guo Ming was both amused and exasperated. This must be a misunderstanding. So he explained, "Father, I was just lamenting that things weren't being used to their full potential."

"Huh?" Guo Feng didn't quite understand what it meant to not make the best use of resources.

In his view, the Taiping Dao had been completely exploited by them.

"It seems that things have changed drastically since you met that friend, Ming'er," Guo Feng said with a smile. "Now you can even make plans. Not bad, not bad."

He trusted his second son, Guo Ming, and wasn't worried that he would compete with Guo Yin for face.

The other party seems to have bigger ambitions and is unlikely to have any offspring.

Although it was unfair to him, it was a good thing for the Guo family.

Guo Feng also wanted to treat everyone equally, but this was extremely difficult.

However, after Guo Ming became the core member of the Guo family, all resources were given priority to him.

It is now and it will be in the future.

"Forget it, planning is too mentally taxing. I have two friends; let them do the thinking." Guo Ming's cultivation is already mentally taxing enough; let Xiong Zhigang and Yang Qianyuan handle it.

Guo Feng was speechless after Guo Ming said that.

My second son has indeed changed, but I always feel like something is not quite right about him.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. What should we do next?" Guo Ming asked.

“Simple, let’s withdraw from Kyoto first,” Guo Feng said. “Kyoto must be ceded to the Taiping Dao.”

“We need to go back and ‘prepare’ our troops before we come back to fight.”

The vast majority of Guo's associates had already evacuated Kyoto before the plan was carried out, including Guo Ming's elder brother, Guo Yin.

However, the father and son needed to carry out the plan and could not leave.

They had already recruited the soldiers; they just needed an opportunity.

An opportunity to enter Kyoto and take over power in a fair and square manner.

Their plan succeeded, and they created this opportunity.

Simple, crude, but very effective.

"But with the world in chaos and so many people dead, I'm afraid..." Guo Ming said helplessly.

"The word 'orthodox' is suffocating," Guo Feng said casually. "This is something we had no choice but to do."

"Heh, it's fortunate that my friend isn't here," Guo Ming said with a laugh. "Otherwise, the three of us, father and sons, would all be dead."

Guo Ming knew Chu Danqing's character. If Chu Danqing were still alive, it would be safer to directly seize the throne and assassinate the emperor.
