C1240 Confucianism and Taoism

Xianyang City, Yi Zheng Palace!

"Ha ha!"

Yu Haoran did not stop his overjoyed laughter just because of Xiao Zhongyuan's berating and spitting out blood.

It was only when Xiao Zhongyuan forcefully pushed aside the two scholars supporting him with an ashen face, intending to continue berating them, that he finally stopped laughing.

He then taunted with a disdainful expression.

"Xiao Zhongyuan, a piece of trash that I couldn't even defend against one move was actually called the Great Qin Empire's guardian god by you. I'm afraid this is the funniest joke that I have ever heard in my life."

Actually, the ridicule from before was not false, Xiao Jiufa did indeed died in one of the Devouring Technique s he used.

"Yu Haoran, shut up right now!"

Hearing Yu Haoran's mockery of my father, Xiao Zhongyuan roared loudly and took a deep breath.

When his mood returned to normal, his tone was filled with pride.

"My father has been famous for over 70 years. There are countless number of famous experts who lost to him."

Disdainfully glancing at Yu Haoran, Xiao Zhongyuan taunted him with a similar expression of disdain.

"A brat like you who's still wet behind the ears, being able to defeat and kill my father with just one move, I'm afraid that this is the biggest joke that I, Xiao Zhongyuan, have ever heard in my life."

"Xiao Zhongyuan, there is a famous saying in your Confucian sacred scripture." Xiao Zhongyuan, there is a famous saying in your Confucian sacred scripture.

Actually, after successfully devouring Xiao Jiufa, Xiao Zhongyuan who had lost his greatest reliance no longer had any threat, so he did not need to continue fighting the other party.

However, he knew that the Qin Emperor wanted to use this opportunity to activate the second Burning Book Sprit, to completely wipe out the greatest hidden danger of the Great Qin Empire: the Confucian way.

Thus, in order to find a reason to convince the Qin Emperor, he could only patiently counterattack.

"Ever since I, Yu Haoran stepped into the Martial Dao, from the beginner Martial Disciple Realm, to the Warrior, Martial Master, Martial Master, Martial King and Martial King, and to the peak of the ninth level of Martial Saint that is only a sliver away from breaking through Martial Saint Realm, I only used a little more than two years."

As he spoke till here, Yu Haoran abruptly took a step forward, and continued to strike back with a haughty expression.

"Ever since I stepped into the bloody world of the martial way, every opponent that I, Yu Haoran, faced, was an expert who had surpassed me by several realms."

"When I, Yu Haoran was in the warrior realm, I was able to rely on the secret techniques of mutated beasts to defeat experts of the Martial King."

"When I, Yu Haoran, am in the Martial Master Realm, I was able to use my inherited rod techniques to kill Martial Saint Expert who have comprehended the power of the laws."

"When I, Yu Haoran was at the Martial King Realm, I was able to rely on the secret techniques of the laws to kill the experts of the Quasi-Martial Saint Realm."

"Right now, I, Yu Haoran, am already at the peak of the ninth stage of Martial Saint. How hard would it be to defeat and kill an early stage third stage Martial Saint trash!"

"Poof, poof, poof!"

In the face of Yu Haoran's counter-attack, which came at him step by step, Xiao Zhongyuan spat out three mouthfuls of blood in a row as if he had suffered a heavy injury and even retreated a few steps.

If it weren't for the fact that a few scholars were supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.

Raising his head to look at Yu Haoran who was emitting a strong aura of his own, Xiao Zhongyuan felt endless regret in his heart. He knew that his plan of using the laws of the Great Qin Empire to get rid of Yu Haoran and rejuvenate the Confucianism had completely failed.

In addition, he even caused his father to lose his life.

"Yu Haoran, even if you can defeat my father in one move, why didn't you leave his life behind, and instead protect the Great Qin Empire together, assisting His Majesty in establishing an eternal and indestructible foundation!?"

Now that he had lost his father's protection, the Qin Emperor would definitely not let him off, and Xiao Zhongyuan knew that he would definitely die.0

However, he was unwilling to die just like that. He wanted to use the final act of expressing his loyalty and plant a seed of suspicion between Yu Haoran and the Qin Emperor. He hoped that this seed of suspicion would be able to completely turn the two of them into enemies in the future.

"Humph!"

In the face of Xiao Zhongyuan's sinister intentions before death, Yu Haoran immediately sneered in disdain, as his face revealed a deep look of disgust.

"Xiao Zhongyuan, even if I, Yu Haoran were to die, I will definitely not work with an extremely heartless beast!"

"Shut up!"

After hearing Yu Haoran insult my father, Xiao Zhongyuan, who was burning with anger, quickly walked in front of him and begged while his face flushed.

"Yu Haoran, my father has already been killed by you, so His Majesty will definitely not let me, Xiao Zhongyuan, and the Xiao family off. Can't you be more open-minded, be more virtuous, and show some respect for the dead?"

Yu Haoran took out a sparkling and transparent crystal from his storage ring and threw it directly at a great scholar who was at the peak of the seventh stage of Martial King, and ordered.

"This is a very rare memory crystal. As long as you inject some elemental energy into it, it will be able to evolve the images recorded on the water day."

With the memory crystal in his hand, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhongyuan, his eyes revealing an interrogative look.

After receiving Xiao Zhongyuan's nod of approval, Da Jiu channeled his spirit energy into the Memory Crystal. Very soon, the Blood Sacrifice that happened in Yanluo City began to evolve on top of the Memory Crystal.

Seeing the black clothed middle aged man standing on the black tower's red altar and using the blood sacrifice of millions of lives in Yama City to crazily raise his cultivation, anger, regret, confusion, shame, and other complicated situations began to violently attack Xiao Zhongyuan's consciousness.

In the end, Xiao Zhongyuan, who knew that he was definitely going to die and had no face to give up on the people of the world, allowed his complicated and changing emotions to destroy the last remnants of his life force.

"Ai!"

Looking at the furious staring Xiao Zhongyuan, who died with grievance, Yu Haoran couldn't help but sigh.

After using the suction force formed by the elemental energy to retrieve the memory crystal from the big monk's hand, he immediately retreated back to Meng Zhengkai's side, leaving the rest of the matters for the Qin Emperor to handle.

"His Majesty, this humble subject knows my wrongs!"

Just as Yu Haoran took back the memory crystal, a man surnamed Wu, who had recovered from his shock, immediately knelt on the ground.

"This humble subject is sure that I was seduced by Xiao Zhongyuan, the demon, to end up committing such a heinous act. I plead that His Majesty forgive this humble subject's life on account of this humble subject serving for several tens of years."

"His Majesty, Xiao Jiufa was able to sacrifice millions of lives in exchange for a powerful cultivation and strength.

"Then, as the biological son of Xiao Jiufa, Xiao Zhongyuan must also be a demon. This humble subject must have been controlled by the demon in order to report the crazy disaster that happened in the Prince Consort."

The Great Master Wu, who was begging for mercy, immediately gave all the other great figures an excuse. The one who berated Yu Haoran before, the one named Liu, also kneeled on the ground and started to shirk his responsibilities.

"Now, it was all thanks to the Prince Consort turning the tide and killing Xiao Zhongyuan and his son that this humble subject was able to wake up from his madness."
