Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

boom!

A flash of sword light appeared, and a deep, bottomless sword mark immediately appeared on the ground.

Then a roar came from within the sword mark, the ground collapsed, and a giant centipede a hundred feet long crawled out from underground.

As the centipede emerged from the ground, a large section of the surrounding palace collapsed.

The number of ministers and guards killed or injured by bricks and rubble continues to rise.

Even the palaces within the inner palace were affected, with cracks appearing in the walls of many palaces.

Cao Feiyun and his ministers were stunned when they saw the giant centipede emerging from the ground!

"How could there be such a huge monster beneath the imperial city?!"

"According to that great hero Yan, this centipede is the Imperial Advisor!"

"How could that be? The Imperial Preceptor is a virtuous and highly respected monk; how could he possibly be a demon?"

"Is it possible that we are just ordinary mortals and therefore cannot see through the true nature of the Imperial Preceptor?"

……

Yan Chixia looked at the centipede that had emerged from the ground and snorted coldly, "Why don't you continue pretending to be the Buddha?"

"You think you can transform into a dragon? Today I'll send you to the Western Paradise to apologize to the Buddha!"

Having said that, Yan Chixia gripped the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands and slashed down at the menacing centipede demon.

Heaven and earth trembled; this sword seemed to shatter the void!

Faced with Yan Chixia's sword strike, the giant centipede let out a roar and emitted a thick plume of black smoke!

The black smoke formed a spherical protective shield, blocking the massive sword energy unleashed by Yan Chixia.

After a long stalemate, Yan Chixia's sword energy finally managed to cut into the protective shield formed by the black smoke.

boom!

A huge explosion rang out, and the sword energy that Yan Chixia had unleashed dissipated into the air, while only a thin layer of black smoke remained around the centipede's body.

Through the thin layer of black smoke, it was clear that the giant centipede did not look as energetic as when it had emerged from the ground.

It was obvious that Yan Chixia's sword strike had consumed a significant amount of its magical power.

"The sword transforms into countless forms, exorcising demons and subduing monsters!" Seeing that his sword strike had not caused any real damage to the centipede, Yan Chixia threw the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand into the air and then chanted the sword incantation.

Then the Xuanyuan Sword transformed into countless flying swords in mid-air.

As Yan Chixia pointed his finger at the centipede, countless flying swords shot towards it one after another.

Under the continuous impact of the flying swords, the black smoke around the centipede finally disappeared completely.

Without the protection of the black smoke, countless flying swords landed directly on the centipede's enormous body.

Then, something unbelievable happened!

These flying swords landed on the centipede's huge body, but they couldn't cause any effective damage to the centipede!

Clearly, the centipede demon had cultivated its body to an extremely high level.

Even a divine weapon like the Xuanyuan Sword could not easily damage its body from the outside.

While resisting Yan Chixia's attack, the centipede demon also launched its own counterattack.

The centipede demon looked up in the direction of Yan Chixia, then opened its huge mouth and spat out a stream of dark green liquid towards Yan Chixia.

Faced with the dark green liquid gushing towards him, Yan Chixia frowned: "Golden Light Mantra - Glazed Body Protection!"

Then, a dazzling golden light appeared around Yan Chixia.

These golden rays completely protected Yan Chixia.

The dark green liquid fell onto the golden light, just like butter falling onto a hot pan, and a puff of unpleasant white smoke rose up.

The centipede demon vomited dark green liquid for several minutes, and finally shut its mouth when it saw that it could not break through Yan Chixia's golden light shield.

As soon as the centipede demon stopped spewing the dark green liquid, the white smoke quickly disappeared.

Then everyone saw that the golden protective shield around Yan Chixia had become pitted and uneven.

Clearly, Yan Chixia's golden shield was also significantly depleted while defending against the centipede demon's attacks.

Seeing that its attacks were ineffective, the centipede demon quickly turned its attention to the people standing in the circle drawn by Yan Chixia.

Seeing the centipede demon change its attack direction and pounce into the circle it had drawn, Yan Chixia quickly made a hand seal and chanted an incantation: "Sword returns in an instant, divine sword subdues demon!"

Countless flying swords above Yan Chixia's head rapidly merged into a giant sword.

Yan Chixia stepped onto the giant sword and thrust it directly at the centipede demon.

Despite the giant sword thrusting towards it, the centipede demon ignored it and continued to charge towards Cao Feiyun and the others who were standing in the circle.

In the centipede demon's original plan, he intended to devour Cao Feiyun and all the civil and military officials in the next two days, and then, by borrowing the dragon energy of the court, transform into a dragon on the night of the full moon!

Unfortunately, Yan Chixia's sudden appearance directly disrupted his plans.

So now he plans to forcibly devour Cao Feiyun and all the civil and military officials, and then go back to his lair to devour the remaining Fu Tianchou.

First, use the dragon's energy to kill Yan Chixia, that stinky Taoist who ruined my chance, and then figure out a way to transform into a dragon!

As for Yan Chixia, who was attacking him, the centipede demon felt that with the strength of his body, he would not suffer any major damage!

Seeing the gigantic, ferocious-looking centipede hurtling towards them, some of the ministers in the circle were so frightened that they fainted.

The other ministers who were not terrified were also trembling with fear.

Then, just as the centipede demon rushed in front of Cao Feiyun and the others, a golden light rose from the circle drawn by Yan Chixia, blocking the centipede demon outside the circle.

However, it's still too difficult for this thin layer of golden light to completely stop the centipede demon!

As they watched the thin layer of golden light begin to crack, Cao Feiyun and the others, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but feel their hearts leap into their throats again.

Just then, Yan Chixia's attack arrived!

Yan Chixia wielded his giant sword and stabbed it fiercely into the back of the centipede demon.

Click!

With a cracking sound, the giant sword pierced the centipede demon's back.

hiss!

Feeling the tearing pain in its back, the centipede demon let out a huge roar.

Then it began to roll around, trying to throw Yan Chixia and the giant sword off its back.

Faced with the centipede demon's rolling around, Yan Chixia could only temporarily leave its back and stand in the air.

Seeing Yan Chixia being lifted off his back, the centipede demon turned and burrowed into the ground.

"Hmph! Trying to run now? Too late!" Yan Chixia snorted coldly as he watched the centipede demon trying to escape from underground, and followed it directly.

Anyway, his Xuanyuan Sword was still stuck in the centipede demon's back, so the centipede demon had no way of escaping his pursuit.

Seeing Yan Chixia and the centipede demon leave one after another, Cao Feiyun and the court officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, looking at the severely damaged palace and the many dead and wounded officials, Cao Feiyun felt a bit overwhelmed.

The cleanup will keep him busy for a while!

Just as Cao Feiyun ordered the Imperial Guards to clear the ruins, Ning Caichen and Fu Qingfeng, who were hiding in a safe place, were also discovered!

However, because the flying swords they were standing on were exactly the same as the ones Yan Chixia had used before, the Imperial Guards didn't dare to do anything to them.

So the Imperial Guards could only surround the two men and then send someone to ask Cao Feiyun for instructions on how to deal with them.

Upon hearing the Imperial Guards' request, Cao Feiyun immediately ordered someone to invite Ning Caichen and Fu Qingfeng over and treated them well.

About half an hour later, Yan Chixia returned to the imperial city.

At this moment, Fu Tianchou, Fu Yuechi, and Zhi Qiu Yiye were following behind him.

Upon learning that Yan Chixia had reappeared in the capital, the Imperial Guards immediately reported the news to Cao Feiyun.

Cao Fei immediately sent someone to invite them to the side hall where he was temporarily working.

Upon seeing Cao Feiyun, Yan Chixia merely cupped his hands in greeting, while Fu Tianchou and Fu Yuechi bowed deeply in respect.

As for Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, he performed a Taoist greeting.

Cao Feiyun had learned from his conversations with Ning Caichen and Fu Qingfeng that Yan Chixia was someone they had invited to rescue Fu Tianchou and subdue the centipede demon.

Therefore, upon seeing Fu Tianchou pay his respects with great ceremony, Cao Feiyun warmly had someone help Fu Tianchou and his daughter up.

After comforting Fu Tianchou for a few moments, Cao Feiyun looked at Yan Chixia and asked, "Hero Yan, where is that Imperial Preceptor... no, that fiend now?"

"I've already killed him, body and soul destroyed!" Yan Chixia said calmly.

Upon hearing Yan Chixia's words, Cao Feiyun was shocked but also relieved.

At least I don't have to worry about being harmed by a monster like the Imperial Advisor!

However, looking at Yan Chixia in front of him, Cao Feiyun felt a bitter taste in his heart!

But with such a powerful figure in the court, my future days might not be easy!

Seeing the change in Cao Feiyun's expression, Yan Chixia said calmly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, after I have helped you reorganize the court, I will naturally leave the court and will not stay here to get in your way!"

"Reorganize the court?" From the four words Yan Chixia uttered, Cao Feiyun sensed a strong stench of bloodshed. "How does Master Yan plan to help reorganize the court?"

Yan Chixia said calmly, "Naturally, we should appoint loyal ministers and capable generals and eliminate treacherous villains!"

“Master Yan, the affairs of the court are complex and complicated. I’m afraid they’re not as simple to handle as you make them out to be,” Cao Feiyun sighed, looking at Yan Chixia.

After Cao Fei Yun ascended the throne, he naturally thought about revitalizing the country.

However, the relationships between the officials in the court were complex and complicated. Even if one was willing to reform, the policies would often change after they were passed down!

After all, whatever I want to do, I have to go through these officials to get things arranged!

Upon hearing Cao Feiyun's words, Yan Chixia said calmly, "It's really that simple. You're overcomplicating things!"

"Promote loyal and capable officials, and make an example of those treacherous and wicked people!"

Hearing the murderous intent in Yan Chixia's tone, Cao Feiyun felt a chill run down his spine: "Loyal ministers and good generals are few and far between! If we kill everyone else, all the government offices in the world will cease to function!"

"Then you're overestimating the importance of these officials! Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged scholars are everywhere!" Yan Chixia completely dismissed Cao Feiyun's statement. "Even if you emptied the entire court, scholars would still continuously fill the gaps!"

Cao Feiyun said with some helplessness, "But how can these scholars who have just entered officialdom govern the country well?"

"So now that these officials are helping you govern, the world will be better?" Yan Chixia scolded Cao Feiyun. "Open your eyes and take a good look! Look at the state of the world now!"

"No matter how much trouble those newly entered officials cause, can the world really get any worse?"

Hearing Yan Chixia's rebuke, Cao Feiyun was speechless!

"Lord Fu, you will be in charge of assisting our emperor in managing the affairs of the court!" Yan Chixia said to Fu Tianchou, looking at the stunned Cao Feiyun.

Fu Tianchou was taken aback, then looked at Yan Chixia with some hesitation and said, "Hero Yan, with my abilities, I'm afraid I can't do what you say about cleaning up the court!"

"Don't worry, I'll find you a capable helper!" Yan Chixia said with a smile. "Moreover, if there are any treacherous villains who need to be dealt with, I can take care of that too!"

A few days later, the imperial court underwent a major upheaval.

Fu Tianchou and a guy named Zhuge Wolong who suddenly appeared were appointed by the emperor to take charge of the government.

Many ministers in the court voluntarily offered to retire and return to their hometowns, while some corrupt officials had their homes confiscated, their families exterminated, and their property seized!

In short, a large number of positions in the imperial court suddenly became vacant.

They were replaced by some young officials promoted from local areas.

At the same time, the emperor ordered that a special imperial examination be held six months later to select scholars to serve as officials in the court.

Yan Chixia originally thought that he only needed to wait quietly until the court was settled, and then he could leave quietly.

Unexpectedly, Fu Tianchou and Zhuge Wolong would come over to discuss with him how to handle state affairs and develop the country.

Yan Chixia was indeed not very good at this kind of thing, so he had no choice but to ask his fellow chat group members for help.
