Chapter 181 Congratulations to the Bridegroom
Chapter 181 Congratulations to the Bridegroom
It's like a ray of hope.
A stunning sword light appeared in front of the main hall of the old imperial city.
In just a moment, the earth, covered by the quiet deep blue sky, was instantly painted with a shocking paleness, without any other color.
Then, that hint of paleness was condensed into an extremely thin line in a very short time, rising in front of the main hall of the old imperial city and disappearing into the night sky.
The world was divided into two from then on.
A silence.
This knife was so stunning and so decisive.
It is already unparalleled and unrivaled.
Standing in front of that ray of daylight, the supervisor's sea of consciousness was invaded by the sword's intent, and his soul had an extremely strong premonition of pain.
The premonition was that he would die in the next moment.
An angry roar burst out from his lips, and he released his entire state without reservation. All the true energy in his body moved along with it, and he completely ignored the consequences and burst out like a river bursting its banks.
All the Taoism that he had painstakingly comprehended over the past dozens or hundreds of years was now completely clear in his mind at this moment.
All the puzzles and confusions that I once had were cut off by that ray of light from the sky!
That angry roar turned into a clear whistle!
The Taoism that he had comprehended throughout his life came out of Jianzheng's thought, and the realm was so profound that it was like new buds suddenly sprouting from a dead tree, and thousands of peach blossoms were in full bloom, hanging on the branches.
Those peach blossoms each have a name, it is the Purification Mantra and the Urging Silver Arrow, it is the Binding Thunder and the Moon Against Shadow, it is the Imperial Ming Evil-Breaking Holy Divine Mantra, it is the Yellow Springs Falling Life Dissociation Art, and it is also the Lone Star Killer...
Countless magics appeared in this world, appeared before that ray of light from the sky, and appeared before that decisive sword light!
Jian Zheng has never felt so powerful and so good!
This is undoubtedly the most perfect and peak moment of his life!
He had a strong feeling that he was about to cross that threshold, push open the old door that had been sealed for decades, and enter that new realm.
Being drunk on fine wine is not enough to describe this kind of happiness.
These were Jianzheng’s real thoughts just before he broke through.
……
……
That ray of light came.
Thousands of brilliant Taoist techniques were used to meet the attack, and then... they were directly cut off.
Kill it with the purification mantra.
Use the silver arrow to kill it.
Tie up Cang Lei and kill him.
The moon cuts the shadow.
Huang Ming, who broke the evil holy spell, was also beheaded.
Huangquan's Life-Separation Technique was cut off again!
The Lone Star Killer was still killed!
There is no need to pretend. All the laws of the world are like chickens and dogs in front of the sword slashed by Gu Zhuo. They cannot exist even for a moment and are chopped into pieces. Not even a trace can be left in this world.
The new buds on the old trees have become scars, and thousands of peach blossoms have all fallen into the mud.
Thus, this ray of sunlight was completely reflected in the eyes of the supervisor.
His eyes were stunned for a moment, then panicked, and then anxious.
The confidence that once existed in his eyes was now gone and could not be found.
Because he knew that when the next moment came, he would die.
He knew he had no chance to make mistakes.
Countless thoughts emerged and then disappeared.
It took him less than a breath to make the decision.
The decision was not to summon the magic weapon connected to his life, not to try to break through the realm temporarily to reverse the situation, not to try to avoid the knife by escape, but to summon the old imperial city formation.
There is no doubt about the power of the old imperial city's formation.
Thousands of years have passed, and during these thousands of years, this formation has always been considered to be at least one of the top three formations in the world.
Even for a cultivator at the Yuhua realm, who can be regarded as a celestial being, it is extremely difficult to break this formation. No matter how powerful the sword he is facing is, it is unlikely to reach the level of the Yuhua realm.
Coincidentally, the three talismans of the old imperial city's formation have all been returned to their positions, and the formation has been completely repaired. It is now in a completely new state and can be believed.
The supervisor thought so and did so.
……
……
No matter who you are, even if you analyze today's situation from a hindsight perspective, you must admit that there is nothing wrong with Jian Zheng's idea.
Using the old imperial city's formation to neutralize this blow is the best option to save himself.
I would make the same choice a hundred times.
……
……
The old imperial city formation appeared in the world.
At this moment, a clear light rose up silently and turned into a solid barrier in front of the supervisor, facing the extremely bright sword light.
The next moment, the two met. The sword light did not fade, but the clear light barrier was like a dream bubble, which broke at the touch of a finger.
Unknown place.
There was a bright scratch on the mirror on the observatory.
There were broken white pieces on the chessboard in the tea room.
The big bell in the underground palace rang hoarsely.
In front of the main hall, the supervisor lowered his head.
He stared blankly at his chest, watching the exaggerated blood flower blooming from it. His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his life was gone.
After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Gu Zhuo with disbelief, who was still standing on the steps of the main hall, and his body began to tremble.
From the moment the knife was pulled out to the moment he was hit head-on by the knife, the whole process seemed extremely long, but in fact it was only a moment.
He could still feel his own joy, which was the happiness of thousands of Taoist magics blooming gracefully at his fingertips as he wished.
He still retained the excitement from not long ago, that was the feeling that a state that had been sealed for many years was about to be broken, allowing him to enter a brand new world.
These emotions that really existed are so real and so beautiful.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared like smoke.
It's like it never existed.
How can I not be confused?
How can this be believed?
How could this be a real sword that exists in the world? !
The supervisor looked at Gu Zhuo, slightly opened his mouth, and wanted to speak.
At this moment, the entire old imperial city suddenly began to tremble.
People just came to their senses amid the thunderous roar, and saw the buildings began to shake, the palaces began to sway, and the whole world seemed to be in unrest.
At some point, the knife had dissipated in the wind and no longer existed between heaven and earth.
Night has arrived.
……
……
under night.
Gu Zhuo casually picked up the knife and climbed the stairs.
The old imperial city has quieted down and is no longer shaking.
Countless gazes followed him, closely following his footsteps. The emotions in their eyes were astonishment, surprise, shock and disbelief, but in the end, all of these turned into - silence.
Dead silence.
Pei Jinge had already expected this scene, and his eyes were calm.
But her smile faded, and she held the scabbard and looked at Gu Zhuo.
Gu Zhuo walked up to the supervisor.
The supervisor is not dead yet.
An indescribable strong obsession supported his soul and body, allowing him to survive almost miraculously and live to this moment.
His face was extremely pale and the wound on his chest was still bleeding, a bloody mess.
Just as he used this terrifying will to force himself to speak, he asked in a trembling voice: "Are you Tao..."
Gu Zhuo swung his knife again.
Compared with the previous one, this knife was extremely ordinary and not worth mentioning.
The supervisor's head was chopped off by the sword.
Carrying with him all the questions and confusions he had in his life, his head was separated from his body and he died completely.
The head fell to the ground with a thud.
The world seemed to wake up because of this.
The officials of the Sky Patrol Department were shocked.
The officials of the Imperial Observatory fainted.
People in various ministries were in confusion and at a loss.
The big shots in Wangjing forgot about the uproar and kept wiping their eyes, thinking they were dreaming.
No one could have imagined that things would turn out like this, and no one knew how to deal with it, because no important figure in the Qin Dynasty had ever been killed in this way in the past hundred years. Yes, Jian Zheng was the first one.
In a sense, the first person in a century.
Then, someone thought that tomorrow was the day that the empress would be crowned as queen, that it was the emperor's big day after many years, that the whole world would celebrate it...then they looked at the severed head in front of the main hall, looked at the pair of eyes that were still open, and they had no idea what to do.
When someone else's eyes fell on Gu Zhuo, the emotions in their eyes became extremely complicated... Now everyone understood that the reason why he did not kill De Qiusi was perhaps to avoid alerting the enemy, or he wanted to keep the murderous intent in his heart on the supervisor.
The question is, is it that serious?
Pei Jinge just stood there.
The unemployed deputy chief of the Sky Patrol had a calm expression, with his sword scabbard slung behind his back, as if he had no idea how serious the matter was.
People only saw her leisurely coming to Gu Zhuo's side, shoulder to shoulder.
……
……
"Tired?"
"Yes."
"Boring?"
"It's boring."
"Again?"
"It's still the same."
……
……
A few simple words appeared between Gu Zhuo and Pei Jinge.
The latter did not ask whether it was worth it or not, but asked how he felt in his heart.
Gu Zhuo’s answer was very normal.
Just like what he said before, he was really a little tired.
The day was too long and too much happened.
From initially watching the formation repair, to expending tremendous energy to rescue Ye Yilan, and then being assassinated by two people in the Immaculate Realm.
Injured and injured again.
Watch people get hurt and die.
In fact, these are all common things, but if they happen too often, they will eventually become annoying.
If you get annoyed to the point of wanting to kill, doesn't that mean you'll end up with murderous intent?
It was only at this moment that I felt a little relieved.
So he simply sat down, on the ground mixed with blood and rain, with the headless corpse.
Suddenly the wind rose and clouds came.
The starry sky was covered and rain came.
Gu Zhuo's clothes were still wet.
Pei Jinge accompanied him, without handing him a handkerchief, and sat down casually beside him.
"I heard those three words earlier."
"Ah."
Gu Zhuo's expression remained unchanged.
Pei Jinge's voice was so soft that no one could hear it: "This is a very reasonable suspicion. Although there is no evidence, the suspicion itself is enough."
Gu Zhuo thought for a moment and said softly, "It seems to be like this."
Pei Jinge smiled calmly and said, "Fortunately, I am very strong."
Gu Zhuo understood, but didn't think it through, so he asked, "Why?"
Pei Jinge raised his head slightly, looked at the raindrops drifting between heaven and earth, and said calmly: "You are worth using now, or it can be said that it is possible for us to become allies again."
Gu Zhuo was silent for a moment, then said, "Aren't you afraid?"
Pei Jinge said: "Yeah."
Gu Zhuo didn't expect her answer to be so concise. He was quite surprised and said, "The you I know is not like this."
Pei Jinge slowly retracted her gaze, looked at his profile, and said with a smile: "Perhaps the me you know now is the real me."
A long silence.
Until the rain gradually got heavier.
Gu Zhuo said seriously: "Why do I feel that you are a little crazy? From the moment you were willing to lend me the knife."
"Not crazy."
Pei Jinge put away his smile, his expression calm and determined, and said: "This is just what I want to accomplish, and the path I must take, that's all."
……
……
The conversation ends here.
It wasn't that Gu Zhuo and Pei Jinge had nothing to talk about, but because the onlookers had completely come to their senses and were unwilling to come to the main hall.
Someone came up to the two of them and asked in a low voice what they meant. Of course, they were asking about collecting the body for the warden.
In fact, many people want to ask Gu Zhuo why he had to kill the Supervisor, how he killed the Supervisor, and whether he knew what consequences this would bring?
Gu Zhuo didn’t know all this and just nodded in agreement.
The warden's body and head were picked up and placed on a stretcher.
At this time, Gu Zhuo said another sentence.
"Send the body back to the capital."
Everyone thought, isn’t this nonsense?
Until they heard the next sentence.
"Let the queen take a look first."
No one responded.
Pei Jinge glanced at the body of the supervisor and said, "That's what I meant."
After hearing this, an official from the Sky Patrol finally stood up and agreed with a trembling voice.
Gu Zhuo stood up and said, "Let's go."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in front of the hall suddenly became tense.
It is an indisputable fact that the prison guard was killed by him in public, and no one can afford the consequences of his escape and disappearance.
Even the bigwigs of the old Wangjing families who were most willing to stand on his side could only remain silent at this moment.
Gu Zhuo said calmly: "I will not leave Wangjing until the dust settles."
Thinking of his past integrity, many people breathed a sigh of relief on the spot.
Gu Zhuo stood up and walked out.
Pei Jinge followed him.
This time no one tried to stop it.
Walking on the steps, Gu Zhuo suddenly remembered something.
He stopped and turned to look at Pei Jinge.
"Thanks."
"You should thank me."
Pei Jinge responded lazily and raised his sheath.
Only then did Gu Zhuo realize that he had forgotten something.
There was a slight clang sound.
The knife has been sheathed.
……
……
The next day, early in the morning.
A piece of news was sent to the capital of gods in the highest level of confidentiality by officials of the Sky Patrol Department at the speed of communication during wartime, ignoring all the rules and handling the matter with extreme caution, and presented to the soon-to-be empress.
At that time, she was sitting in her bedroom, facing the mirror with her eyes closed, allowing the ladies-in-waiting to dress her up.
Soon, she would put on that luxurious and majestic phoenix skirt, stand in the center of thousands of people, and feel the boundless glory.
Then she would climb up the stairs step by step, stand at the highest point of the empire, and watch millions of people crawling on the ground.
To celebrate this event today, gifts from various countries and clans have already filled the palace of the capital, towering like a mountain.
The queen doesn't care about these things at all.
To her, it was all meaningless.
When the news from Wangjing came, she thought that the old stubborn people from the old families had finally bowed their heads and stopped insisting.
Therefore, she never thought that... what Gu Zhuo brought to her was the death of the Supervisor.
As a token of respect.
Congratulations to the bridegroom.
Of course I know He Xinlang didn't mean that, but I really couldn't help it.
