Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 300 The Dugu Clan Takes Sides, Two Dragons Suffer

Li Shimin chased after her out of the room, and looked at the beautiful figure who didn't even go through the main entrance, but instead leaped over the high wall, and shook his head helplessly.

How could this happen!

The five greatest Buddhist masters all perished in the imperial city, and why would the Evil King Shi Zhixuan aid the Sui Emperor?!

Li Shimin's expression was solemn, as he felt that this matter revealed a lot of strangeness.

The martial arts world knows how formidable the five great masters of Buddhism are, and as the second son of the Li family, who is close to Buddhism, he is even more aware of this.

It was thought that Emperor Sui was courting death, and that Shi Feixuan, representing Buddhism, intended to help him stabilize the world after it descended into chaos.

Li Shimin also had this idea, but he really didn't expect the external situation to change so quickly.

Emperor Sui did not lose; instead, all five great Buddhist masters perished.

"Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, just how much have you been hiding?!"

Li Shimin's large hand clenched unconsciously. Even the evil king Shi Zhixuan served the Sui emperor. How did he manage to do that?!
Li Shimin was completely baffled, knowing that the Evil King Shi Zhixuan's strength was extraordinary.

According to intelligence, they have already reached the top level in the martial arts world.

That was a Grandmaster, the fourth Grandmaster in the martial arts world, yet now he serves the Sui Emperor.

What's even more terrifying is that even though the monk Liaokong had already broken into the Sui Emperor's palace, he still failed.

This indicates that besides the evil king, Emperor Sui also had powerful figures by his side.

This was something that not only Li Shimin could have thought of, but all the major powers in the world could have thought of the moment they received the news.

At this time, the Dugu Clan.

After leaving the capital, Dugu Feng immediately found the true power holder of the Dugu clan, You Chuhong.

"Grandma, that's the whole story!"

Dugu Feng recounted everything she had seen.

Upon hearing this, You Chuhong's face was filled with unconcealed horror.

"So that's how it is! No wonder the Sui Emperor dared to target Buddhism like this; it wasn't a suicide attempt, but rather a display of true power!"

You Chuhong suddenly realized that she had almost thought the Sui Emperor was really so incompetent that he would dare to take action against such a powerful force as Buddhism at this critical juncture.

Unexpectedly, the Sui Emperor had many trump cards up his sleeve, exceeding everyone's expectations.

"Yes, Grandma, even someone like the Evil King Shi Zhixuan serves him, so the Sui Emperor is definitely not that simple!"

Dugu Feng said that she had personally witnessed the great battle between Shi Zhixuan and the Buddhist monk, and was very clear about the intensity of that battle.

"It seems that everyone in the world has been deceived by this emperor. He is extremely cunning and his methods are far more sophisticated than his father's!"

Yu Chuhong's eyes flashed with a sharp light. How terrifying was an emperor who could manipulate all the forces in the world?

Is this all the Sui emperor had up his sleeve?

She didn't know, and she couldn't guess!
No one can guess how much the Sui emperor was hiding.

However, it is certain that a Grandmaster-level expert like Shi Zhixuan, the Evil King of the Demonic Sect, is indeed a great help to Emperor Sui. In addition to the Evil King, there are also mysterious experts protecting Emperor Sui.

That person's strength was even greater than that of the Zen master Liaokong, and not just by a little bit, but by a lot.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to kill Liao Kong.

The Zen master Liaokong was among the top masters, and it would be very difficult for anyone of the same level to kill him.

This shows that the mysterious expert beside the Sui Emperor must be a master who is about to step into the Grandmaster realm!

"A grandmaster of heretical arts, and a suspected half-step grandmaster protecting him—the terrifying methods of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui!"

You Chuhong shook her head. The fact that so many powerful people could serve him was enough to show how terrifying Yang Guang's methods were.

Every master is extremely proud, let alone a master who stands at the top of the martial arts world.

"Grandma, have you forgotten about the Yuwen Clan? This time, the head of the Yuwen Clan actually risked his life to stop the five great Buddhist masters from entering the capital for the Sui Emperor."

This is no mere pretense; it's the truth. I believe the Yuwen clan has completely submitted and has no desire to restore their kingdom!

Dugu Feng was very observant, and through these details, she discovered that Yuwen Fa's attitude was quite unusual.

Upon hearing this, You Chuhong's expression changed again: "Even the Yuwen clan of the former imperial family has been completely subdued by the Sui Emperor..."

"The Sui Emperor! The Sui Emperor! Invincible!"

"Feng'er, quickly move out most of my clan's savings. You must immediately lead people to send these gold and silver reserves, along with precious medicines, to the imperial city and present them to the Sui Emperor!"

Suddenly, You Chuhong realized that the Dugu Clan should not continue to observe, but should immediately take sides.

Otherwise, if the Sui Emperor shifted his gaze from Buddhism to the Dugu clan, that would be disastrous.

"To go to this extent?!" Dugu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

"It must be so. The Yuwen clan must submit, the Li clan already enjoys the favor of the Sui Emperor, and the Song clan is indeed powerful enough, but they live far away in Lingnan. The Heavenly Blade Song Que is strong enough to disregard the emperor's authority."

But my Dugu clan doesn't have that kind of foundation. We must choose sides quickly, otherwise, we'll end up like the Buddhist sect.

Yu Chuhong's expression was serious, and she couldn't help but guess that His Majesty's plan to exterminate Buddhism was a way of making an example of them.

She no longer dared to underestimate the Sui Emperor, and the Dugu clan's attitude could no longer be the same as before. "Feng'er will take care of it right away!"

Dugu Feng also realized the seriousness of the matter, so she said no more and quickly left to deal with it.

Watching Dugu Feng's retreating figure, You Chuhong narrowed her eyes. The Sui Emperor's strength far exceeded what the world had expected.

It is highly unlikely that the world will fall into chaos again. The Sui Dynasty's destiny is not coming to an end; on the contrary, it will become even stronger.

"We must find a way to deepen our relationship with the Sui Emperor!"

Yu Chuhong always felt that her gold and silver savings were not enough.

It was entirely predictable that the Sui emperor's power would surpass that of any previous emperor.

The Dugu clan is showing signs of decline, but if it can deepen its relationship with the Sui Emperor, it will surely be able to survive in the world.

The best way to deepen relationships is through marriage!

If Feng'er could enter the palace and become someone close to the Sui Emperor, then the Dugu clan would be more secure.

"However, this matter is not urgent for now. Let's ask for her opinion after Feng'er has met with the Sui Emperor."

You Chuhong shook her head slightly; she wouldn't force Dugu Feng on this matter too much.

Everything depends on Dugu Feng's wishes.

After all, this was her most beloved granddaughter, and the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Dugu clan.

…………

Outside the Imperial City of Daxing.

Five emaciated corpses still lay there, and no one dared to approach them.

Those were rebels who stormed the imperial city and were killed by the Sui emperor's personal guards; who would dare approach them now?

Anyone who gets too close will be arrested as an accomplice.

Therefore, most people watched from a distance, not daring to approach.

This scene instilled in everyone a greater sense of awe for the imperial city of the Sui Dynasty.

They developed a sense of fear and awe towards Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

After all, all five of the top Buddhist masters are dead.

This is the consequence of daring to challenge imperial power.

In a restaurant, Shuanglong and Fu Junyu hid by the window, gazing into the distance.

"It's truly pathetic that even the five eminent monks of Buddhism couldn't subdue the dog emperor; instead, they became corpses." Kou Zhong shook his head.

“Young Master Zhong, the Sui Emperor is surrounded by many experts, including Grandmaster Shi Zhixuan. The obstacles to our revenge for our godmother are growing ever stronger.”

Xu Ziling's eyes were solemn. Even Buddhist masters had died in the imperial city.

Their desire for revenge is simply a pipe dream.

"So what? Are you scared?" Fu Junyu said with dissatisfaction after hearing Xu Ziling's words.

“Uncle-Master, that’s not what Xiaoling meant.” A bitter expression appeared on Kou Zhong’s face.

"As you can see from the current situation, assassinating the Sui Emperor requires at least the strength of a Grandmaster."

With just the strength of the three of us, we wouldn't even be able to see the Sui Emperor; we'd end up like those Buddhist masters, just corpses.

Kou Zhong's words were cruel, but that was the truth.

Fu Junyu was speechless and unable to refute.

“Unless we can get a Grandmaster-level expert to help us!” Xu Ziling suddenly said.

"Which grandmaster would be willing to risk coming to the capital to assassinate the Sui Emperor?"

Kou Zhong shook his head, feeling that this was simply impossible.

"Not necessarily, perhaps we could try asking my master to come out!"

Fu Junyu's heart stirred. It was indeed difficult to persuade a Grandmaster, but her master, Fu Cailin, was a Grandmaster.

If she were to ask in person, it might be effective.

"Uncle-Master?! You can really do that?!"

"You can invite your master to the Central Plains?!"

The two dragons stared at Fu Junyu with surprise and suspicion, their gazes burning with intensity.

"I'm not sure, but I can try, maybe it'll work!"
