Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

"in addition!"

"Wei Zhenzhen, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling, please arrange a place for them to rest."

"After some time, once Wei Zhenzhen has gotten used to being with us, I will take her into the Luofu Cave." 4.3

"I know!" Wanwan wrinkled her delicate nose charmingly. "Those three aren't as picky about where they stay as you are, Chenhao. I'll just arrange a place for them to stay later."

"If you really want Wei Zhenzhen to be your maid, I'm afraid you'll need Sister Hongyu to train her for a while longer."

Although Wei Zhenzhen is somewhat beautiful, she is just an ordinary person, and her knowledge and abilities are far inferior.

To serve Chen Hao and the others well, I'll probably have to learn a lot.

"Of course I know that!"

Chen Hao smiled and waved to Wanwan, then opened the portal to the cave and entered Luofu Cave with Yanfei and Jingni.

Chapter 152 The reaction in the Sui Dynasty court, the dejected Yang Guang

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye!

The vast majority of forces in this world received the message that was spread from the Yin Gui Sect.

In Luoyang, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, in the royal court, Emperor Yang Guang stared sternly at the officials below and said, "Three days, a full three days, and you still haven't figured out the reason for the strange phenomenon in the sky?"

Yang Guang sat lazily on the throne, looking somewhat dejected, but his handsome appearance was still evident, and a hint of arrogance occasionally flashed in his eyes.

Yang Guang was the second son of Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, and Empress Wenxian, Dugu Jialuo, and the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

He was a man of both literary and military talents, capable in both military and political affairs, and made many achievements in both civil administration and military campaigns!

When Yang Guang was young, he was intelligent, handsome, and skilled at deception and composure. He was also diligent in his studies and had excellent literary talent.

During his reign, Yang Guang oversaw the construction of the Grand Canal, the building of Luoyang as the eastern capital, and the relocation of the capital to Luoyang. He indulged in extravagance and debauchery, abused the people's labor, and imposed heavy taxes, causing widespread resentment among the populace.

The frequent wars launched by the Sui Dynasty, including the conquest of Tuyuhun, the campaigns against Liuqiu, and the three campaigns against Goguryeo, severely damaged the social economy, made it difficult for the people to survive, and ultimately triggered a large-scale peasant uprising, leading to the collapse and demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Although Yang Guang did many things that were detrimental to his own time but beneficial to future generations, it is undeniable that the Sui Dynasty perished precisely because of his decisions.

And this is exactly two years before Yang Guang's demise!

During this period, Yang Guang had essentially lost control of the Sui Dynasty, and his decrees could not even leave the palace.

Even so, Yang Guang was doing his best to quell the chaos brought about by the convergence of the two realms.

"Your Majesty!" Yuwen Huaji, the chief of the Imperial Guards, stepped forward and said, "In recent days, rumors have been circulating in Luoyang that the strange phenomena in the sky are caused by the convergence of two realms."

"Our world and another world are intersecting, which is why these changes are happening."

As soon as Yuwen Huaji finished speaking, Yang Guang's expression instantly turned to surprise: "Another world?!"

Yang Guang straightened his posture, making him appear even more dignified. "The reason of the convergence of the two realms can indeed explain the strange phenomena in the sky, but who exactly spread this rumor?"

How did they find out the reason?

Apart from Yang Guang, who was in the royal palace, most of the officials in the court had heard of this rumor, but they were also curious about how the other party came up with this reason.

After all, even intelligent people like them couldn't help but be somewhat convinced after hearing this reason.

Of all the current speculations, this reason is the most logically sound.

Yuwen Huaji cupped his hands in greeting and calmly replied, "It's the Yin Gui Sect!"

"What?!" Yang Guang was momentarily flustered. "You just said this information came from the Yin Gui Sect? What is their purpose in spreading such information?"

No wonder Yang Guang lost his composure like that.

After all, Yuwen Huaji had also shown an incredulous expression after he had just discovered the source of this information.

Although the Yin Gui Sect is not universally reviled in this world, it is the most influential sect in the demonic world, and its reputation is quite appalling.

After learning that the news of the intersection of the two realms came from the Yin Gui Sect, almost everyone immediately began to suspect the specific purpose of the Yin Gui Sect in doing so.

However, to Yang Guang's surprise, Yuwen Huaji actually sided with the Yin Gui faction this time.

Yuwen Huaji bowed respectfully to Yang Guang, saying, "Your Majesty! This time, things may not be so simple."

"According to the information passed on by the intelligence personnel, this message was sent by Wanwan, the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, and she did not have any intention of hiding it. It seems that she did it in order to quell the turmoil caused by the strange phenomenon in the Central Plains."

Then Yuwen Huaji hesitated for a moment and continued:

"At the same time! It seems she intends to use this news to lure everyone to Yangzhou City."

"Interesting!" A glint of light appeared in Yang Guang's eyes. "The Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, who disappeared for a month, has suddenly returned and brought such news?"

"Does my dear minister know where the other party has disappeared to for the past month?"

Yang Guang already had a vague guess in his heart, but this guess was so unbelievable that he himself dared not believe it.

"Your Majesty!" Yuwen Huaji shook his head. "We have not been able to find out where the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect has been for the past month."

"but..."

Yuwen Huaji looked up at Yang Guang and then continued, "The Holy Maiden Wanwan of the Yin Gui Sect returned half a day after the strange phenomenon occurred. After returning, she appeared outside Yangzhou City and quickly joined forces with the Yin Gui Sect disciples in Yangzhou City to take over the city's defenses and suppress the unrest in Yangzhou City."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guang frowned and exclaimed, "Oh?!"

If it were the Yang Guang of the past, his first reaction upon hearing this news would likely have been to charge Wanwan and the Yin Gui faction with treason and rebellion.

After all, as an emperor, he would not allow anyone to extend their reach into the area that belonged to him.

However, for Yang Guang, who had already begun to slack off, Wanwan's ability to suppress the unrest in Yangzhou at the first opportunity was actually a service to the people.

Seeing that Yang Guang was interested in this, Yuwen Huaji continued, "In addition, according to reports from our spies in Yangzhou, there were three other people with very different styles of clothing who appeared with Wanwan, the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect."

"Moreover, during the suppression of the turmoil in Yangzhou, the Holy Maiden Wanwan of the Yin Gui Sect also displayed a kind of puppet that looked very much like the mechanical art of the Mohist school in the pre-Qin era."

"Otherwise, given the number of disciples of the Yin Gui Sect in Yangzhou at that time, they would not have been able to take over the city's defenses."

"Interesting!" Yang Guang's eyes widened instantly, his gaze gleaming with a strange light. "It seems that during the time the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect disappeared, she went to a place that surprised all of us."

Based on Yuwen Huaji's thoughts, Yang Guang once again confirmed some of his own suspicions.

However, considering his current situation, Yang Guang's high spirits instantly turned to dejection again. He waved his hand and said to all the court officials, "Let's put the matter of the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect aside for now."

"How well have you quelled the unrest in Kyushu caused by the strange celestial phenomena?"

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, another official reported to Yang Guang: "After these few days of efforts, the unrest in the cities surrounding Luoyang has gradually subsided."

"As for other places..."

After a brief pause, he said to Yang Guang, "After the rumor about the Yin Gui Sect spread, the people have become more rational on their own, and the unrest has decreased significantly compared to the previous few days."

Yang Guang nodded calmly, "It seems that the Yin Gui Sect has done a good thing for the Nine Provinces this time."

Chapter 153 Reactions from Various Factions

Almost at the same time!

Li valve.

Li Shimin said to Li Yuan, who was seated at the head of the table, "Father! The return of the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect this time is very likely to be closely related to the rumored [intersection of the two realms]."

During this period, Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, was ambitious and fond of grandiose projects, which led to his failure to govern effectively both domestically and internationally. As a result, he lost the support of the people, and various warlords carved up the country, causing widespread chaos and making the situation uncontrollable.

The most powerful families in the world belong to the four great clans:

The Lingnan Song Clan, the Guanzhong Li Clan, the Yuwen Clan, and the Dugu Clan.

The head of the Guanzhong Li clan was Li Yuan, who later became Emperor Gaozu of Tang.

Li Yuan nodded solemnly, "Compared to the returning Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, I am more concerned about the three people who are with her."

"Have they still not found out their origins?"

The fact that these forces in the world know about Wanwan's return is not just because Wanwan relied on the Yin Gui Sect to spread the news.

As soon as the unrest in Yangzhou was quelled, the spies from those powerful families and various sects in Yangzhou honestly reported what had happened in the city.

That's why they were able to know so much in such a short time.

"Reporting to Father!"

Sitting to Li Yuan's left was his eldest son, Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng respectfully replied, "Comparing the information on the young talents of the major aristocratic families and sects, I did not find anyone who matches this description."

"Furthermore, the three people's clothing and appearance were quite different from ordinary people, so I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Li Yuan said authoritatively without being angry: "Don't beat around the bush."

At this moment, sitting to the left and right of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, a dignified, intelligent and graceful woman suddenly stood up and said, "My elder brother must be saying that if the information about the intersection of the two worlds is true, then those three people must belong to another world."

This woman is none other than Li Xiuning, the fourth young lady of the Li family!

“Xiuning is right!” Li Shimin’s eyes gleamed: “Since the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect was able to spread such outrageous information as the convergence of the two realms, then she must have already confirmed it.”
