C2670 Three Years of Savings
After leaving the Dry Mountain Temple, Jiang Ting heard Hong Lian's gentle voice and raised his eyebrows. ... He realized that Hong Lian's voice sounded more human than before.
It sounded complicated. Although the voice was still the same, he could tell that it was the same voice as before. Compared to before, Hong Lian's aura was slightly stronger.
If she continued to accumulate her strength, perhaps Hong Lian would really be able to break away from her ghost-like body and turn into a human being?
Hong Lian, who didn't get a response, opened her mouth again. "Young Master?"
Jiang Ting instantly came back to his senses. He pondered over the map from Miao Kong and said softly, "Let's go to the north. There is a Taoist temple about five hundred miles away."
...
Spring passed, autumn came, and the stars moved.
Three years passed quietly.
To the Dead Spirit World, these three years were rather dark. Three years.
Because of these three years, Daoism and Buddhism had suffered an unprecedented and terrifying attack. Jiang Ting's name also heavily weighed on the heads of many Daoism and Buddhism.
Ever since the Wilted Mountain Temple three years ago, many Daoism and Buddhism had been exterminated by Jiang Ting alone!
These Daoism and Buddhism had also clearly discovered how terrifying Jiang Ting's energy was. They had no power to resist in Jiang Ting's hands.
Jiang Ting was also hailed as a demonic devil by many Daoism and Buddhism. He was even more terrifying than Miao Kong, the great demon of the Kingdom of Thieves.
Even though he was a human, he was even more evil than demons and ghosts!
Of course, it was only to the Buddhist Sect of Daoism. The ordinary people of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't feel any other changes during these three years.
The Great Zhou was still that Great Zhou.
...
Great Zhou, Imperial Capital.
The Zhou Dynasty was ruled by the left, and under the emperor, the officials were led by the left and right prime ministers.
Miao Kong, the Great Mage, did not belong to the ranks of the officials. He was a special title given to him by the Emperor of Great Zhou. In terms of nobility, he was not inferior to the Left and Right Prime Ministers. However, in terms of power, he was not comparable to a ten-husband minister in Desolate City.
Of course, Miao Kong did not care.
Not far from the Imperial City, there was a huge residence that took up dozens of acres.
This residence was the Hong Residence.
The Hong Residence was the residence of the Great Zhou Left Minister, Hong Wen.
In the deepest part of the residence, in a courtyard.
An old man who looked to be in his sixties approached the courtyard in casual clothes. He was Hong Wen, the Left Minister of the Great Zhou. He was famous throughout the entire Great Zhou.
"Left Prime Minister." Wang Fan hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Left Prime Minister." In the courtyard. In the courtyard, there were about a dozen monks and priests who stood up to greet him.
Hong Wen sighed softly, "There's no need to be overly polite."
Wang Fan looked anxious. "Left Prime Minister, has His Majesty changed his mind?"
"Sigh..."
Hong Wen sighed and shook his head. "His Majesty has completely lost his mind for Miao Kong, this monster. Although I have tried many times to persuade him, no matter how I try to persuade him, there is no benefit apart from inciting the wrath of thunder."
Wang Fan and the other monks and priests' expressions instantly darkened.
It had been a while since Wang Fan arrived in the capital... In the capital, many officials had fallen for Miao Kong. There were only a few people like Hong Wen who were concerned about the Great Zhou and could still be upright and clear.
It was worth mentioning that he and Yin Sha had gone through a lot of trouble to reach the Imperial Capital. Initially, they wanted to meet the Emperor, but unfortunately, he could not see the Emperor at all. If not for the protection of the Left Minister, he would have been killed by the Imperial City's secret guards.
After a long silence, Wang Fan smiled bitterly. "The Left Minister, there are less than twenty officials in the Imperial Capital who possess the righteous aura. If we continue to delay, once the righteous aura of the Imperial Capital is extinguished, that monster will be able to completely occupy the Imperial Court. This Great Zhou Imperial Court will become his hall of words."
He remembered that when he first came to the Imperial Capital, about half of the officials in the Imperial Capital had the righteous aura, and there were more than a hundred of them... But now, he could still sense that there were less than twenty righteous auras in the Imperial Capital.
The portion that had disappeared... He was not sure if he had been bribed or if he had been deposed by Miao Kong using Emperor Zhou's head to leave the capital.
Although the remaining twenty were all high ranking officials, For example, Left Prime Minister Hong Wen. However, once the righteous aura disappeared, Miao Kong would be extremely arrogant.
When the time came, Miao Kong would have the right to suppress the Left Minister's manor.
"It's all Jiang Ting's fault. If it wasn't for him massacring the people of Daoism and Buddhism, we wouldn't have been forced into hiding in the Imperial Capital!" An old man's eyes were filled with anger.
Wang Fan was just about to answer when he suddenly thought of something. "Left Minister, has the Imperial Court been stable recently?"
"Sigh..." Sighing lightly, Hong Wen shook his head slightly. "Ever since a year ago, this old man had followed what little friend said and asked for an imperial edict from His Majesty, His Majesty became increasingly dissatisfied with this old man. " However, it is not a problem. My Left Prime Minister's Estate is temporarily able to protect the experts of the Buddhism and Daoism of Daoism. "
"As mentioned before, because of Emperor Zhou's decree, once the experts of Daoism and Buddhism leave the mountain gate, they will definitely incur the descent of the five calamities.
Jiang Ting did not know where the so-called five disasters of Heaven and Man came from on the path of cultivation, but he knew that the so-called five disasters were death tribulations.
Emperor Zhou stubbornly believed that the Buddhism of Daoism was just some tricks of the Pugilistic World. ... In order to avoid the death of these experts, Hong Wen forced the imperial order from Emperor Zhou to protect the Left Minister's mansion. Therefore, these experts would not face the Five Catastrophe in the mansion.
Because of this, Emperor Zhou was extremely displeased with Hong Wen. However, for some unknown reason, he had never removed Hong Wen's position as Left Minister.
Currently, there were many Daoists and monks in the manor. They had been forced to come here to avoid trouble by Jiang Ting's extermination. At the same time, they wanted to find an opportunity to make Emperor Zhou cancel the decree that sealed all the Daoism and Buddhism in the world.
...
In the imperial capital, there was a mountain about three thousand miles away.
Jiang Ting and Hong Lian held hands and walked slowly in the wilderness. Behind them, there were a few demon kings whose demonic energy soared to the sky!
The strange thing was that these demons actually had a Buddhist aura on their bodies.
As they walked, they saw an ancient tree in the mountains. Jiang Ting stopped and said, "It has been three years."
Hong Lian turned her head and asked, "Are you ready to go to the capital?"
"It is time to go to the capital."
Pausing for a moment, "For the past three years, with the capital as the center, the Great Zhou Empire has slaughtered all the Daoism and Buddhism in a radius of a hundred thousand miles. Although there are still many Daoism and Buddhism left, they will not be able to achieve anything. There is no need to pay attention to them."
"Young Master Jiang's strength is monstrous. We admire him." The demon king who had transformed into a human figure behind them hurriedly tried to curry favor with them.
Those demon kings were all demons under Miao Wukong.
Jiang Ting heard this and smiled. He shook his head slightly. "Take us to the capital."
The few demon kings looked at each other. Then, one of them laid on the ground and quietly transformed into his real body.
A leopard about fifteen meters tall appeared behind Jiang Ting and the others.1
