Chapter 71: What is incompetence?
As the sunset glowed, countless people in Zhongzhou walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky.
"Is that the Divine Phoenix? Is that the Divine Phoenix? I can actually see it before I die!"
“So beautiful…”
The five-colored light brought by the black phoenix even overwhelmed the afterglow of the sun, allowing the underground to briefly return to daytime.
Everyone cheered, but some were also worried.
The appearance of the Divine Phoenix must be due to some difficult-to-solve evil that needs to be dealt with personally.
Is there anything in this world that is worth her personal attention?
......
"Did he really get help from the Divine Phoenix?"
Emperor Lingyu, who was originally angry because the general had mobilized troops without authorization, suddenly became clear-headed.
If what Meng Ziming said is true, then this matter is really worthy of Shen Huang personally appearing to deal with it.
Now that the Divine Phoenix has really appeared, what Meng Ziming said is true.
Emperor Ling Yu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad at this moment. With all kinds of emotions in his mind, he issued an order to those around him:
"Tell the Second Princess Lingyu to come and see me."
Soon after, a girl in golden robes and holding a sword walked in.
"Meet my father."
"Did Lingyu achieve any results in what your father said?"
While arranging the marriage with the general's son, Emperor Lingyu also secretly gave his other daughter a task.
That was to let her secretly observe her three sons, Huang Lingyu's brothers.
Huang Lingyu knew that he could not stay in this position for long, so he had the idea of passing on the throne very early on.
When I was young and ignorant, I just wanted to get my father down quickly and then sit on the seat myself, but now I want to give it up on my own initiative.
The longer he sat in this position, the more powerless he felt.
Whether it was General Meng Ziming or Sword God Mu Wendao, they both made him feel that he was dispensable, and that both of them could handle domestic and foreign affairs...
Most importantly, they don't need his permission to do anything.
General Meng Ziming would either execute first and report later, or report first and execute later. In any case, she would do it in the end.
As for the Sword God, let alone her, she is an existence that transcends the imperial rules.
"Ling Yu now has some evidence against my brothers. If your Majesty wants to hear it, I will not hide it."
"Go ahead."
Huang Lingyu dismissed his attendants and left only himself and his daughter.
If you have to say, there are actually three. There is also a sword god standing outside, holding a sword and looking at him.
"My eldest brother is arrogant and extravagant, spending countless money in the city, and it is difficult for him to achieve great things."
Ling Yu nodded, he knew about this.
Because he was his first son, he spoiled him a lot, so it was natural that he turned out like this.
"My second brother is like a wolf on my back, sometimes looking at me, sometimes leaning over to explore my power..."
Huang Lingyu had a lot of spies here, but at the same time he also got a lot of information about him.
In short, this guy is very restless and his desire for power is too strong.
"He joined the army and became a general since he was young. Even if he ends up becoming a tiger or a jackal as his father, I won't be too shocked. Go on."
Since you are restless, get rid of you.
Even though he was his own son.
As for who to ask for help, he really couldn't think of anyone else except the general.
The Sword God is actually fine, but will the Sword God obey his orders...
"My third brother is still young and loves to play and enjoy leisure. He should keep himself company with calligraphy and painting every day. It is not appropriate to entrust him with important tasks."
As for the last youngest son, Ling Yu had no energy to take care of him when he was born, so he left him to his father who was locked up in the cold palace.
He inherited Li Yu's skills in poetry, calligraphy and painting and became obsessed with them, so Ling Yu didn't have much expectations of him.
So, who is left at the end?
"Lingyu."
"exist."
"In your words, the three sons of your father are all difficult to carve. Then can you tell me who can let me entrust this country to you?"
"Only Lingyu."
Huang Lingyu raised his head slightly, then quickly dropped it back down.
"Well, then..."
"Lingyu is not yet ready to be emperor. I'm sorry Lingyu can't obey your order."
Huang Lingyu took the initiative to give up the throne, not because she didn't want to be emperor, but because she didn't want to take over the mess left by her father.
She knew how much her father relied on this great general. It could be said that he would entrust her with all the important matters.
If that were all, that would be fine.
"Lingyu Temple's Great General Meng Ziming is like a snake lurking in the forest. Father is so inclined towards her that it will be difficult to check and balance her in the future."
Hearing his daughter take the initiative to say the reason why she could not obey his order, Ling Yu showed an embarrassed expression.
He knew this very well, but how could he accomplish anything if he didn't give her the power?
He didn't want to be an incompetent monarch like the Second Emperor, whose biography only had a few pages.
In the end, he chose Lingyu not only because of her abilities and character, but also because of the Sword God beside her.
There is a snake and a sword in the court, and the two are restraining each other. Unless one of them dies, the other will find it difficult to dominate.
This is the biggest reason why Ling Yu can feel at ease until now, but it is also the biggest reason why he feels vaguely uneasy in his heart.
The Sword God can check and balance the general, so will the Sword God listen to me?
She didn't want to listen, but she listened to her daughter Huang Lingyu.
"Lingyu, you have the Sword God by your side, which is much better than your father's current situation..."
"That being said, I still want to wait for a good opportunity."
"What is a good opportunity?"
Huang Lingyu raised his head, and the golden light in his eyes shone through the paper window behind Lingyu.
......
"What this boy is carrying is the token of the Divine Phoenix Clan."
The Sword God sucked out the token from the man whose heart was pierced by the sword, and used his spiritual energy to speak out all the information on it.
"I understand. Let's get someone to carry it down first."
After Huang Lingyu gave the order to the Sword God, he bowed to Huang Lingyu who was a little surprised.
"Father, let's discuss today's matter later."
Chapter 72 Wei Lianyu, you are extremely evil??
Xuan Feng and his companions did not drag their feet, but flew to Kanzhou at full speed, so that the news of the reappearance of the Divine Phoenix was not spread as fast as Xuan Feng himself through the operation of multiple communication stations.
This matter must not be delayed. Once the Divine Phoenix Clan receives the news that the Black Phoenix is flying towards them, they will definitely make preparations in advance. Even if not all of them can escape in the end, at least a few will be able to survive.
Xuan Feng and the others don’t know what the few survivors will do, nor do they want to know.
......
Kansas.
The atmosphere in the Divine Phoenix clan has been particularly depressing recently, and all the clan members are afraid. Whether it is the curfew or the prohibition of leaving the Divine Phoenix territory more than ten miles, they all feel that something big and unfavorable to them is about to happen.
The Divine Phoenix has been the only powerful clan in Kanzhou until now. Apart from a possible catastrophic disaster, what else could make the entire clan shrink back to this point?
"Xuan Yan, have you read the report sent by the spy?"
"Yes."
There is a very special existence in the forbidden area of the Divine Phoenix Clan.
He was the patriarch of the Divine Phoenix Clan 2,500 years ago. At that time, when he was at the peak of the Refinement Realm, he responded to the call and joined the team to fight against the White-haired Sword Demon.
In the end, that powerful team consisting of hundreds of refining masters was completely wiped out, and even he was not spared.
But his soul still existed, and the members of the Divine Phoenix clan used the divine fire to take over his residual soul, and then tried the resurrection method left by the Divine Phoenix nine thousand years ago, and found that he was actually resurrected.
Although this former clan leader bypassed the thunder tribulation and broke through the tribulation in one fell swoop, the price he paid for resurrecting him was equally heavy.
The divine fire that could have supported them burning for five thousand years only lasted for three thousand years after this...
"The divine fire of our Divine Phoenix clan is now like a dying candle. If you continue to do this, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long."
"I am sure! Although Meng Ziming and the Sword God know about this, they will not dare to attack us due to various reasons!"
"hope so."
The reason why Xuan Yan could act so arrogantly was because of the ancestor who had crossed the tribulation that was hidden in his family. After rescuing him, he had been hiding in the forbidden area. Except for his trusted elders, no one knew that Xuan Bai, who died at the hands of the White-haired Sword Demon, was still alive and had even succeeded in crossing the tribulation.
If Meng Ziming and his men really attack this time, they will have the ability to protect themselves while spreading public opinion and guiding the people's hearts, so they will not be completely eradicated by Meng Ziming before anything happens.
"Grandfather, I will never make the same mistake again after this..."
"Heh, you went to Mo Yan for that bastard you picked up. This is enough to prove that you are not cut out to be a leader. Is it that hard for you to just find a wife?"
If Xuan Yan was seeking revenge for his own son, the direct descendant of the Divine Phoenix clan, then Xuan Bai would definitely not be so angry.
He was angry that a young man from his own direct lineage had died in such an unclear manner, and he wanted to take revenge, but the person who died was not from the direct lineage, nor even from the collateral line.
Hearing his ancestor say this, Xuan Yan's heart skipped a beat.
This is obviously intended to drive him out of his position!
"I will never make the same mistake again! Please rest assured, ancestor!"
"Humph, you are quite smart in this situation. Go ahead, and continue the Xuan family's lineage after this storm is over. Don't think about your Wei Lianyu anymore... A woman who has been dead for hundreds of years has long turned into dry bones in a tomb. Why bother thinking about her?!"
Xuan Yan retreated out of the forbidden area amid the scolding.
There was a hint of hostility in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with what his ancestor had just said.
How can a person who has not experienced what he has experienced, standing in a high position, accuse me of such things?
Chapter 73: The Destruction of the Phoenix Clan
"We have arrived in Kanzhou. A hundred miles ahead is where the Divine Phoenix Clan is."
"Ah."
After Ji Yuanqing responded, he seemed to suddenly think of something, so he asked Meng Ziming beside him:
"What should we do then? Kill them all?"
"At that time, we will not need to hold back, we will kill everything we see and defeat them all."
Meng Ziming is much more cruel than the other two. She has done many cruel things in her daily life, such as exterminating three or nine clans or ordering beheadings in public.
She is not simply cruel and bloodthirsty, but she has to do it.
General Meng Ziming is not a civil official known for his benevolence. In order to maintain order in the court and the Nine Provinces, intimidating the people is a necessary measure.
Previously, when Meng Ziming was studying the deeds of the Second Emperor, he discovered that the Second Emperor seemed to have hardly killed anyone. Even if treacherous ministers appeared in her face, she would continue to endure it because of the darkness behind it.
