Chapter 155: The Black Dragon Carries the Imperial Edict and Spreads Across the Nine Continents

"Ang~~~"

Above the nine heavens, a place beyond the reach of everyone’s eyes.

A huge, inky black dragon that was so vast and huge that it could not be described in words raised its head at this moment.

A sound that sounded like a chant or a song stretched out and shook the sky.

A terrible vibration began to erupt from the sky, and then spread at an alarming speed, slowly covering the entire Jiuzhou.

All the countries in Kyushu reacted almost simultaneously.

In the Sui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, Li Yang, and even in foreign countries such as the Mongols and the Turks, people opened their eyes instantly.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz."

Noises that are difficult for ordinary people to detect arise from unknown places at the same time.

Of course, the first to make a move would definitely be the country located in the western part of Jiuzhou together with Daqin.

It is just outside of Daqin, thousands of miles away.

On a vast piece of land, a red torrent suddenly rose.

Suddenly the whole land began to shake.

In just a moment, the entire sky was completely dyed red.

In the boundless sky, the red aura quickly condensed and formed a huge red dragon.

But just in the moment of formation, it collapsed instantly and spread around the sky again.

Then, a series of huge human-shaped phantoms suddenly emerged slowly.

From a distance, it was impossible to make out the figure's specific features.

All you can see are their different shapes. Some are holding books and reciting quietly, some are riding horses with guns and shouting, and some are sitting quietly and watching indifferently.

Unique and powerful auras rolled up.

The red air currents that were originally scattered everywhere began to gather again, circling around the human figures, confronting the huge black dragon in the distance.

The black dragon above Daqin also turned its head instantly.

The cold eyes pierced straight ahead.

If anyone could see, they would discover an amazing phenomenon.

The look in the eyes of this huge black dragon was exactly the same as the look in the eyes of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng in the Xianyang Palace before.

"Ang~~~"

The black dragon roared again.

The huge dragon's tail swung into the air, and the originally calm sky was instantly torn into pieces.

But the next second, the dragon suddenly turned its head.

He raised his head and let out a long roar, and powerful breath spurted out from the dragon's mouth.

It looked like a black dragon standing on the western horizon, breathing towards the entire Jiuzhou.

But if you look closely, you can find that what is sprayed out of the dragon's mouth is not dragon breath, but black dragons that have been shrunk countless times.

The moment they appeared, little black dragons flew out like lightning.

The next second, the huge black dragon of national destiny began to slowly dissipate and disappeared into the void again.

And those little black dragons that emerged one after another crossed the void at an astonishing speed and spread to the Nine Continents.

Although the black dragon is small, it is dispersed from the national destiny after all. To a certain extent, it also represents the national destiny of the Great Qin.

Such existence, unscrupulously entering into various countries, naturally stimulated the fortunes of those countries.

Great Sui Dynasty, in the imperial palace of Daxing City.

Several figures raised their heads at the same time.

"Great Qin? What does the Emperor Qin want to do? Is he trying to provoke us?"

An official who was working in the office suddenly raised his head and shouted angrily.

"Don't worry about him. He's just delivering an imperial edict. Don't be so petty."

"The reappearance of the Jixia Academy is something we should pay attention to. It can affect the fate of our country. Moreover, the Jixia Academy comes and goes like the wind. If the Emperor Qin uses it as a weapon of war, I'm afraid..."

Someone said worriedly.

"Didn't the Emperor of Qin say that? The Jixia Academy follows ancient rituals, remains neutral, and is only a place for academic discussions and exchanges. As the ruler of a country, it is impossible for him to break his promise to the entire Nine Continents."

"madness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an angry shout was heard from the side.

"This is what we are most worried about. If the Emperor of Qin regards the Jixia Academy as the private property of the Qin Dynasty, then it is nothing."

"Whether it is teaching students or attracting talents, there will always be a barrier between them. The invisible barrier between countries is not so easy to bypass. Even if the purpose is changed and used as a weapon of war, what can it do? No matter how powerful the Jixia Academy is, can it conquer the nine continents with just one artifact?"

"But the Emperor Qin has not done so now. This only proves that he is a great emperor."

"The phrase 'eternal neutrality' not only guaranteed the independence of the Jixia Academy, but also won the trust of people all over the world."

"But is it true that Daqin has no benefits at all? You know, even if it becomes independent, the Jixia Academy is still located in Daqin. No one can erase this invisible influence."

"And as the academy operates, this influence will become more and more terrifying. That's the fortune of Jiuzhou literature!"

As he spoke, his voice began to tremble.

Indeed, the nine continents have a gathering of literary talents and an endless stream of talented people, and the impact produced is truly enormous.

Even if Daqin cannot absorb all of it, a large part of it will still be scattered among the various countries.

But Daqin, which has the home advantage, will undoubtedly gain the greatest benefit.

Moreover, this benefit will grow larger and larger over time, until it finally becomes an irreversible trend.

After all, anyone who is not a fool knows the importance of talent.

Moreover, the Jixia Academy brought together not only Confucianism and Taoism, but also various schools of thought, including military science, Mohism, Confucianism and Legalism, and even Taoism and Buddhism, which involved all walks of life.

"Then, what should we do?"

Several people finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and even their voices began to tremble.

The leader also showed a difficult look on his face.

"This is an open conspiracy. The Jixia Academy is so famous and its classics are extremely attractive. In addition, the Emperor Qin has given it a guarantee."

"Any means of stopping it at this time will probably be futile. If we try to stop it forcefully, we will only lose the support of the people."

"Besides, this kind of thing is not so easy to stop. Should we deploy troops at the border to stop everyone from leaving the country? But how can we stop people's hearts if we can stop their legs?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience fell silent.

"Ugh……"

"Don't think too much. Let's just do our job well. Something is not right in the current situation in the Sui Dynasty. This is what we should be concerned about."

"As for this matter, with such a huge movement, it is impossible that the palace does not know about it. His Majesty has his own arrangements. We just need to wait for the decree."

"Yes."

While the various departments were discussing the issue, the imperial palace in the center of Daxing City was completely quiet.

Deep inside the imperial palace, in a hall, a stunning woman in a phoenix robe was sitting alone.

On that flawless face that could charm all men in the world, there was a hint of sadness.

Dugu Jialuo, who had been hiding in the deep palace and supporting her, has never shown up.

No one knows what happened in this quiet palace.

But just when those black dragons entered the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

In a dark place somewhere in the territory of the Sui Dynasty, a shocking roar suddenly appeared.

An eye flashing with a terrifying light opened in an instant and looked into the distance through the void.

But it was just a breath, and both the sound and the sight disappeared without a trace in an instant.

And on the other side.

Within the Ming Dynasty.

Several figures raised their heads at the same time.

In the palace, a man in Confucian robes slowly raised his head, his eyes like the sun, shooting towards the sky.

The next second, an indescribable brilliance spread out and instantly enveloped the entire Yanjing City.

Everyone in the city paused at the same time, and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my god, it's Mr. Yangming."

"We pay our respects to the Holy King."

And on the other side.

Gao Changsheng on Mount Hua also looked up at the same time.

However, he did not make such a big noise like Wang Yangming did, but just slightly extended his right hand.

The next second, a mini black dragon fell between his fingers.

"boom."

The black dragon dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an invitation card and appeared in front of Gao Changsheng.

"The Emperor of Qin issued an edict: All the heroes in the world, gather together at Jixia.

——Ying Zheng. "

A line of domineering characters appeared on the black invitation, and at the end of the invitation was a word "bing" written in iron and silver. On the other side, in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, a small black dragon exploded at the same time and turned into a similar invitation, landing in front of Wang Yangming.

However, unlike the one by Gao Changsheng, the last character on the one by Wang Yangming is "儒".

"Gao, General Gao, this is..."

Seeing this scene, a middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but ask.

It was the leader of Huashan, Yue Buqun.

Of course, Huashan has long been split today, and Yue Buqun can only be said to be one of the leaders.

As for the other person, Xian Yutong, he left after saying hello.

It’s not that Xian Yutong doesn’t want to see Gao Changsheng.

With Xian Yutong's personality, he would definitely strike up a conversation with a big shot like Gao Changsheng when he saw him.

After all, he and Yue Buqun have been fighting openly and secretly.

Putting aside Gao Changsheng's other identities, as a grandmaster alone, Xian Yutong would not just sit back and watch Yue Buqun build relationships on his own.

It’s a pity that Xian Yutong had already received a message from Cao Zhengchun, asking him not to interfere in Gao Changsheng’s affairs.

Compared to Gao Changsheng, the grandmaster who can be seen but not touched for the time being, in Xian Yutong's eyes, Cao Zhengchun is of course the most important backer.

Therefore, with Xian Yutong's departure, Gao Changsheng was left with only people from Yue Buqun's faction.

Although Yue Buqun is known as the Gentleman Sword, he also looks like a gentleman with a refined and knowledgeable appearance.

But in fact, he is just a pure martial artist.

Naturally, he couldn't understand such a magical phenomenon as the one before his eyes.

"It's just an invitation letter from Emperor Qin."

Gao Changsheng smiled casually.

Hearing this, Yue Buqun couldn't help but shook his head.

The emperor of a great country, that kind of person is really too far away from him.

In fact, Gao Changsheng in front of him was also a big shot that he could not get involved with.

According to common sense, if such a person suddenly came to Huashan, Yue Buqun should try to build a relationship with him. Even if he didn't necessarily make friends with him, he should at least have a good relationship with him.

After all, the current situation of Yue Buqun's lineage is not good at all.

However, Yue Buqun has always been suspicious by nature.

When he heard the news of Gao Changsheng's arrival, the first thing that came to his mind was vigilance.

Although, no matter in terms of status or strength, the current Huashan Sect cannot compare with Gao Changsheng.

But after all, Yue Buqun still has some secrets in his heart that no one wants to tell.

"I wonder what important matter General Gao has brought you to Huashan on a sudden? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Yue Buqun bowed and spoke, his voice extremely sincere, but the wariness and uneasiness in his eyes were clearly visible.

"This general has just arrived in Daming. I just heard that Huashan has unique scenery and came here because of its reputation. Master Yue, don't let your imagination run wild."

Gao Changsheng chuckled.

Hearing this, Ning Zhongze and all the disciples behind Yue Buqun breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it is hard not to feel pressured when facing a grandmaster.

Yue Buqun, on the other hand, did not show any less vigilance in his eyes.

Perhaps his vision and insight may not be as good as those who come from top forces, but Yue Buqun is by no means a simple-minded person.

How could he possibly believe that a being like Gao Changsheng suddenly came to Huashan just to enjoy the scenery?

Of course, since Gao Changsheng said so, Yue Buqun did not ask any more questions, but the vigilance and worry in his heart became more serious.

Gao Changsheng didn't care about Yue Buqun's thoughts. He certainly didn't come here just to enjoy the scenery, but he certainly couldn't explain his purpose to Yue Buqun.

"Speaking of which, I am also curious about something."

"General Gao, please tell me." Yue Buqun bowed.

"It is not uncommon for martial arts sects to have conflicts or even split up for various reasons."

"However, in such situations, both parties usually regard each other as mortal enemies and are basically unable to coexist."

"On the other hand, Huashan has two sects coexisting, and there are two Huashan sect leaders. This is really weird."

Gao Changsheng smiled gently.

He was indeed curious. He was of course familiar with Yue Buqun and Xian Yutong, but in the original book, they were the leaders of Huashan in two different periods. They were also two very distinctive leaders of Huashan.

But in this world, the two exist at the same time, and in Gao Changsheng's observation, the two sides do not regard each other as mortal enemies like the Huashan Qijian sect in the original novel.

"This matter..."

Yue Buqun paused. If someone else had asked him, he would definitely not have answered. But the person in front of him was Gao Changsheng, whose intentions he had no idea of, and he really didn't have the courage to turn hostile.

“This is actually the secret of Mount Hua.” Yue Buqun said softly.

"Although Sect Leader Xianyu's lineage and Yue's lineage both belong to Huashan, they are not actually the same inheritance."

"According to the secret records of the headmaster, my lineage actually migrated from outside the Ming Dynasty. At the invitation of the headmaster Xianyu, we joined Huashan. Therefore, many years ago, there was the saying of the East and West sects of Huashan."

"However, as time went on, the two factions got along harmoniously and gradually merged into one. But later, due to some conflicts, they became independent again."

Yue Buqun said it briefly and concisely.

However, there are many details he did not explain.

Although the two factions merged in the beginning, their respective fundamental heritages had never been revealed to each other, so contradictions existed inherently.

However, the development of the two factions has always been very good, especially Yue Buqun's sword faction, which has been quite prosperous for a hundred years, so the other party has always been very cautious.

However, because of the sword energy dispute many years ago, Yue Buqun's lineage fell from the peak to the bottom overnight.

At that time, it was almost swallowed up by another group.

If it weren't for the few remaining elders fighting to the death, and the help from several independent sects on Mount Hua that did not belong to the two sects, their lineage would probably have ceased to exist long ago.

All these, especially the dispute over sword energy, were actually the sect's scandals, and Yue Buqun certainly would not explain them.

Of course, from these words, Gao Changsheng has completely understood the development of the Huashan Sect in this world.

"I see. I didn't expect there was such a connection."

Gao Changsheng smiled lightly.

"Then I will have to bother Sect Leader Yue for the next few days."

While speaking, Gao Changsheng's eyes unconsciously glanced at the woods on the right.

Just a moment ago, a hidden sword intent flashed across that place.

Yue Buqun did not see Gao Changsheng's actions.

He was currently troubled by what the other party said.

Who knows how long the few days Gao Changsheng mentioned is.

And let alone a few days, even just one or two days.

Yue Buqun would probably be very restless and unable to sleep all night.

After all, this guy can't be beaten, can't be persuaded, and his specific intention is unknown.

"Ahem, it is an honor for me that General Gao has taken a liking to Huashan."

"It's just that Huashan is simple and unpretentious, so it's inevitable that we will treat the general poorly."

Yue Buqun coughed repeatedly, and anyone could see how uncomfortable he was at the moment.

"Master Yue, you are too polite."

Gao Changsheng acted as if he didn't see anything and just smiled and waved his hands.

"Dayou, clean up the best room and take General Gao down to rest. Don't be rude."

Yue Buqun turned around and gave instructions to a disciple who was holding a monkey behind him.

"Brother, are you worried about the intention of this General Gao?"

After the two men left, Ning Zhongze came over and whispered. Of course, she could see that her husband was uneasy.

Yue Buqun did not reply, but just frowned and nodded.

"I'm afraid you're overthinking it, Senior Brother. What is there in Huashan Sect that's worth the other party's attention?"

"Even if it's Zixia's magical skill, the other party may not look down on it. With this person's status, how could he be lacking in peerless magical skills?"

"Maybe the other party is really just here for fun."

Yue Buqun shook his head and still did not respond, but when Ning Zhongze mentioned the peerless magic skill, his eyes lit up unconsciously.

"Junior sister, what you said makes sense, but we should be careful and not be rude. After all, if such a person were to take action, it would probably be a disaster for Huashan."

"Alas..." Having said this, Yue Buqun couldn't help but sigh, and the look in his eyes became even gloomier.

And just as the two of them were whispering to each other.

Gao Changsheng, who was far away, also smiled and glanced over.

Judging from this situation, Yue Buqun must have some secret in his heart.

It is very likely that, just like in the original novel, he has set his sights on the Exorcism Sword Technique.

However, judging from the current situation, the original inheritance of the Huashan Sect should have been lost, and even Yue Buqun himself may not know about it.

Otherwise, Yue Buqun is not a fool and it is impossible for him to focus his attention on other things.
