Chapter 247 – Sky, clouds are coming

"Qiu Shuijing!"

Di Ping heard the words and chased out of the Jinluan Palace, looking down at Qiu Shuijing who was walking towards the outer city from a high vantage point.

"Do you think that I need you, so you can act recklessly?"

Di Ping raised his dragon robe and wiped the blood from his face, laughing out loud. "I already have the 'Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon'. I can extend my life and continue to wait! There is not only one Qiu Shuijing in this world. I can wait for the birth of the second Qiu Shuijing to complete my longevity technique!"

Qiu Shuijing didn't even look back and walked straight towards the Jinwuwei and the Forbidden Army.

The generals of the Jinwuwei and the Forbidden Army hesitated and looked towards Di Ping.

Di Ping opened his arms, and several palace maids hurried forward to take off his blood-stained dragon robe and wipe the bloodstains off his body with warm silk handkerchiefs.

Another palace maid knelt down and Di Ping sat down, putting one leg on her back while another palace maid took off his blood-stained boots and pressed the emperor's feet against her chest to gently remove his stockings.

Another palace maid came forward with new stockings in her hands.

After changing one boot, Di Ping put his other foot up.

Behind him, palace maids removed his imperial crown, wiped off the bloodstains, and carefully combed his hair.

After changing both boots and fixing his hair, Di Ping stood up and opened his arms. The palace maids helped him put on a new dragon robe.

At this time, Qiu Shuijing had already arrived in front of the army.

Di Ping raised his hand and waved.

The generals of the Jinwuwei and the Forbidden Army felt relieved and made way for Qiu Shuijing to pass.

"There is great terror between life and death. Teacher, you will come back to beg me," Di Ping laughed.

The Forbidden Army opened the small palace gate of the inner city and let Qiu Shuijing out, then quickly closed the gate.

Some eunuchs and spiritualists hurried to the Jinluan Palace, washing away the bloodstains with water and carefully wiping them several times, but there was still a bloody smell in the court.

The eunuchs and spiritualists brought fresh flowers and squeezed out the juice, sprinkling it all over the Jinluan Palace to cover up the bloody smell with fragrance.

Di Ping summoned Lao Hu and said, "Wen Prime Minister, you are in charge of internal affairs. Find out who died and which aristocratic family they came from. Draft two edicts, one to say that so-and-so rebelled and has been executed by me, but I am merciful and will not implicate their families. The other edict will be to appoint the second-in-command of these families to the same position as those who rebelled and were executed. I will not accept their officials."

Lao Hu respectfully agreed and said, "Your Majesty's grace and power are both great. These aristocratic families will surely be grateful. However, so many high-ranking officials have died this time. It may take a long time to write these edicts..."

"Find a dozen scholars to copy them!"

Di Ping sneered, "These scholars can't even copy their homework?"

Lao Hu then asked cautiously, "What about Qiu Shuijing's officials outside the palace and the officials of the reformist party?"

"They will be attacked by those rebels until they are at their wits' end. If Qiu Shuijing still doesn't bow to me, then I will use their heads to quell the public anger."

Di Ping smiled, "These officials of the reformist party are all young and strong, and their strength is not bad. If they fight against these aristocratic families, it will also be a way to use waste to help me reduce the power of these families."

Lao Hu frowned slightly and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, many of Qiu Shuijing's officials are from the Tian Dao Academy. If they die outside, I'm afraid the Tian Dao Academy will not be able to continue..."

"Do you think I care about a mere Tian Dao Academy?" Di Ping's gaze suddenly turned cold.

Lao Hu shuddered and didn't dare to speak. Although he was once the legendary philosopher Wen Guanshan in his previous life, he was not in this life.Once upon a time, he was high and mighty, with power over the emperor himself, and even the Emperor DìDū had to listen to him and give him face.

Now, he was just a dog in front of Di Ping.

Di Ping didn't need a smooth-talking and unflappable Prime Minister Wen, nor did he need a knowledgeable and all-powerful Saint Wen from the various schools of thought. All Di Ping needed was an obedient dog.

"When these Tian Dao Academy students and teachers are dead, will the academy be finished?"

Di Ping sneered, "I have forty million people in Yuan Shuo. Will the sky fall if I lose a few of them? Yuan Shuo has plenty of talent. If they die out, we'll just select more from all over the place! I am the sky of Yuan Shuo! With me here, the sky won't fall!"



The old fox didn't speak anymore and hurriedly went to prepare.

Qiu Shuijing walked out of the small palace gate. Behind him, the gate closed. In front of him were the young officials of his faction who guarded the outer city.

"The teacher is here." Qiu Shuijing saw a young face with a hint of childishness.

He was a student from Tian Dao Academy, his student, and his eyes were full of hope. It was confidence in him, Qiu Shuijing!

"Teacher! Is there any reinforcements?" Qiu Shuijing also saw the teacher from Tian Dao Academy.

There were also young students who were inspired by him and followed him in his reform. They also looked at him and said, "Teacher, someone is inciting the crowd and causing this unrest!"

"Mr. Shuijing, this can be resolved. We just need to mobilize the Forbidden Guard, offer sacrifices to the Holy Treasure, and kill the ringleaders. Then these rabble will scatter like birds and beasts!"

The person speaking was like him, opening his eyes to the world and discovering the backwardness and difficulties of Yuan Shuo. He wanted to save the collapsing building. When he heard that he wanted to reform, he came to join him voluntarily.

"Master, everything will be okay."

The maid Shao Ying came to his side and whispered, "We won't abandon you, Master."

Qiu Shuijing looked at these familiar faces, at their hopeful eyes, and suddenly felt a lump in his chest and his throat became hoarse. He couldn't speak.

"Kill Shuijing, protect the emperor!"

Outside were the cries of indignant people. These people wanted to kill him, Qiu Shuijing, to revive the royal family and Yuan Shuo.

Many people had already rushed forward to resist those who were trying to enter the palace, but there were powerful people from the major families among the surging crowds. They could only hold on and wait for his good news.

But they couldn't hold on for long. More and more powerful people entered the outer city of the palace and tried to open the gate. They fought to the death, but casualties kept occurring.

Even Tian Dao Academy students and teachers occasionally fell under the enemy's arrows and spells.

"Boom!"

Outside, someone activated a huge spirit weapon and tried to attack the palace.

Qiu Shuijing looked outside. It was the spirit weapon of the Sima family in the Eastern Capital, the Panlong Mace.

The golden mace was carved with a golden dragon that coiled around the shaft. Once it was sacrificed, the mace turned into a hexagonal golden pillar, and the wielder had immense strength. Golden dragons surrounded him and could crush mountains and rivers!

Spirit weapons like this were not something ordinary families could possess. Even for a major family, it would take several generations to refine one for use as a clan's treasure.

Now, the people outside had actually used a spirit weapon to attack the palace, indicating that the major families in the Eastern Capital had torn their faces and were ready to force their way into the palace!

At this time, there was another wave of spirit weapons outside the city.

It was the spirit weapon of the Cao family in the Eastern Capital, the Longfeng Twin-bladed Sword. After unsheathing the sword, two sword dragons and phoenixes flew together, sharp and unmatched. After the two swords were combined, their sword aura could reach a hundred zhang and were invincible!

There were also giant hammers flying towards the palace. They were the treasures of the Dian family in the Eastern Capital!Another golden book flew over, opening to reveal iron horses and soldiers rushing out from the pages, turning into an army that charged into the imperial city and engulfed the reformists and officials.

Although the imperial city was sturdy, the spiritual weapons used by the people outside became increasingly powerful, and the city soon became unable to withstand it!

At that time, the crowd would rush in.

These reformist scholars and officials would be smashed like eggs against a stone, their bodies shattered.

"Reinforcements..."

Qiu Shuijing heard his own voice coming out of his mouth, feeling unfamiliar. "They will come. Rest assured, Shuijing and you all were born together and will die together. Hold on a little longer, reinforcements will really come."

"Boom!"

The gates of the imperial city were broken by spiritual weapons, and people rushed in like a black wave, shouting countless voices: "Kill Shuijing, clear the emperor's side! Kill Shuijing, clear the emperor's side!"

The reformist scholars and officials surrounded Qiu Shuijing and quickly retreated. Everyone used their own magical powers to build multiple barriers, some using earth and wood magical powers to immediately turn them into walls.

However, the next moment, they were shattered by the flying spiritual weapons!

In the surging crowd, there were powerful spiritual beings towering like gods and ghosts, holding various spiritual weapons. They were the strong ones in the Tianxiang realm of the aristocratic families!

With these strong people and the spiritual weapons of the major aristocratic families, they could not establish effective defense works at all.

"There will be reinforcements, there will be reinforcements..."

Supported by the people, Qiu Shuijing retreated towards the inner city of the imperial city, murmuring, "I was born together with you all and will die together..."

Behind them was the inner city of the imperial city, with copper walls and iron walls, guarded by the imperial guards, and the palace gate tightly locked.

They had no way out.

"Sir, they are the people of Dongdu. I can't attack them!" The young scholar of the Tian Dao Academy looked at the people rushing towards them like a tide and cried out.

A sword light flew out from the surging crowd, and the young scholar's head flew up, with a naive expression still on his face.

"I was born together with you all and will die together..." Qiu Shuijing said.

His gaze fell on the head of the young scholar of the Tian Dao Academy, and suddenly, something in his heart seemed to have broken.

With a crack, it shattered completely.

"Ah--"

He opened his mouth and screamed to the sky, the surging vitality burning in his body, and boundless demonic energy quickly occupying his heart.

Seventy-two cave heavens appeared in the sky, distorting time and space. There seemed to be a demon god roaring in the cave heavens.

Crack, crack! n0velUsB.c0m

The ground outside the imperial city kept exploding and cracking. The huge cracks were his Liyuan, and the abyss separated the rushing people. The cold wind howled in the abyss, as if a huge demon was emitting a mournful scream.

The Li beads slowly rose, turning into Qiu Shuijing's thousand-foot spiritual being. The spiritual being was invaded by the rolling demonic energy and screamed in pain.

"Ah--"

The voice seemed to reach beyond the sky. 77,860 miles above the ground, a magnificent sailboat suddenly changed its huge flags, facing the sun and gathering sunlight.

Rays of light descended from the sky, shining on Qiu Shuijing's spiritual being!

"Boom!"

Sima Family's Panlong Mace and Sima Family's Tianxiang master were directly exploded by Qiu Shuijing's spiritual being's magical power, turning into dust. The terrifying magical power erupted, and hundreds of people around were directly evaporated!

Qiu Shuijing screamed to the sky, and the darkness in his eyes kept surging, blocking the last trace of his brilliance!Cao's Longfeng Twin Swords were melted by his spiritual power, turning into molten iron that flowed freely on the ground outside the imperial city, igniting a raging fire and setting houses and buildings ablaze. People who couldn't escape in time were caught in the flames.

Dian's giant hammer was punched into an iron disk by his spiritual power, causing people around him to dance and fly in the air.

In the inner city of the imperial city, Di Ping stood in front of the Golden Luang Hall, watching this scene and laughing heartily, "Teacher, you are just like me, just like me!"

Outside the eastern capital, a hundred li away from the capital, a black dragon carried a red-clothed girl at high speed.

The girl Wu Tong looked up and saw this scene from afar. She saw the giant killing people in all directions in the imperial city and couldn't help but smile, "Sulang, Sulang, I won again!"

Qiu Shuijing went on a killing spree like a demon god, but the next moment, dozens of spiritual soldiers flew up and exploded in power, blasting towards him and the Variance Faction scholars and officials behind him.

The strongmen of those aristocratic families in the eastern capital could no longer afford to hide and began to use their family power!

Qiu Shuijing did his best to resist, but with a loud bang, his figure retreated and was pressed tightly against the wall of the inner city of the imperial city.

"Protect the teacher!" his scholars and officials shouted and went to meet the second wave of spiritual soldiers that were coming.

"Don't...!"

Qiu Shuijing spat blood and watched the scholars who flew up, feeling his spiritual power sinking into the boundless darkness.

Just as he was about to be completely swallowed by the darkness, the eastern capital suddenly changed with a loud noise. A cloud rose from the ninth floor, slowly rising and changing like a cloud made up of countless dust, revealing the geography of the imperial city.

Then the cloud layer changed again, and the inner and outer cities swapped places.

The entire eastern capital imperial city suddenly had all its buildings moving, changing, reorganizing!

Some flew up, some moved, some turned into flying sand and flew away, some directly sank into the ground, and some rose from the ground!

The next moment, the inner city became the outer city, and the outer city became the inner city.

The imperial guards and Jinwu guards looked up and saw the overwhelming spiritual soldiers and the black mass of people.

"Protect the emperor!" people shouted.
