Chapter 1584 - 424: Disarray, Giving You a Way Out (10k) (Part 4)
Anyway, only ghosts know how this news spread so quickly.It's obvious someone is pushing it behind the scenes, but there's no time to focus on that now.
The scholars of Jixia Academy are all saying this, so outsiders will only exaggerate further.
On the way to the Ghost Domain, not a single city is entered, and no city sends troops to defend, which in their eyes confirms the rumor.
A few elders said nothing more and hurriedly left Jixia Academy.
Ji Shen remained motionless, while Wanjun shifted her body to sit opposite Ji Shen.
"Will they really do this?"
"I don't know, let's see if they are willing to share the blame."
"Isn't this nonsense? How could they possibly be willing?"
"Then it's serious."
Wanjun was somewhat shocked.
"Will they really chop off those big figures? Won't they just push out a few scapegoats?
Moreover, this decision is not made by just a few people.
There were quite a few who tacitly agreed without opposition at the time.
The Emperor also tacitly agreed."
"If successful, they benefit the most; if failed, they naturally bear the consequences. I've said not to play with fire, but they wouldn't listen."
Ji Shen sneered, shaking his head.
"As for your worries, you're overthinking.
You think those who stayed silent this time don't have the power and influence they have now?
They wouldn't be soft-hearted?
Wrong, once they decide to do it, they'll make sure the matter is absolute, leaving no legacy.
They won't fake it and randomly pick people as scapegoats.
This time, those who made the decision, took action, or even transmitted messages to the Demon Clan.
All must be accounted for.
Such a good opportunity to eliminate dissidents and protect themselves, would they miss it?
In such matters, they are the most ruthless.
So, don't worry about being tricked."
With Ji Shen's words, Wanjun fell silent immediately, letting out a mocking laugh.
Indeed, the internal strife is extremely sophisticated, and they are the most ruthless against their own.
She stood up and walked out.
"Are you going to interfere?"
"I'm not at peace, I need to see."
"You don't have to get involved in these things and dirty yourself."
"I'm going to see if there are people from the Zhuge family involved; I'm not bothered by others, but if the Imperial Family gets involved, I'll see who dares to stop me."
Wanjun left aggressively, while Ji Shen shook his head with a bitter smile.
No one really dares to intervene; who can say anything?
Because Wanjun can invoke family rules, outsiders dare not speak.
And inside the family, no one dares to contradict.
Yu Ziqing merely swept through the Ghost Domain, and within the Immovable Immortal Dynasty, the internal division turned into confrontation.
The Ministry of War of the Immortal Dynasty, from Chief of Staff to Assistant Ministers, all fell, two died in battle on the spot, one could not bear to be captured and committed suicide.
Their backing forces also began to be purged.
The Minister of Revenue was stripped of his position, knowing his time was up, he laughed twice and said he'll go first, waiting for others to catch up, then smashed his forehead directly.
Those holding positions in the court did not necessarily have the highest power; their backing forces were the real trouble.
They thought that by dying and taking the blame, the matter would be over, but they didn't consider that past internal struggles were confined to the court; this time, it was deadly.
Fierce clashes unfolded five hundred miles from the Capital City.
The Ninth Tier Strong's actions were difficult to conceal.
Flames burned, under the howling wind, spiraling into massive pillars of fire, covering an entire manor.
A stream of light flew out from within, disappearing in the sky in the blink of an eye.
The speed of that light was so fast that others couldn't catch up; in just one incense stick, it had rushed ahead of the sweeping Ghost Domain.
A man with blood streaming from his seven orifices, wielding a Big Mace, exuding strands of Demonic Qi.
The man raised the Big Mace with one hand, his aura continuously rising, gazing at Yu Ziqing walking through the air.
"One wrong move, all is lost, didn't expect it to be ruined by the least expected hungry ghost."
Yu Ziqing's expression was calm, not caring why this person willingly became Devilic and blocked them.
From the moment someone used the hungry ghost as a pawn and dragged him into the game, that person was an enemy.
Seeing the opponent's aura rising, Demonic Qi surging around, raising the Big Mace, the village chief lightly coughed.
Instantly, Yu Ziqing refrained from acting, Yang watched amusedly with his hands behind his back, others paused, and Cece adeptly reached out, taking the village chief's cane.
The village chief stepped forward, passing Yu Ziqing to confront the man.
The village chief looked at the Devilic man with a fierce visage, thought for a moment, and said.
"Judging by your aura, it's just the first tribulation of the Third Tribulation Realm, after becoming Devilic and with the Magical Treasure, at most the Second Tribulation, I won't bully you, if you can take one punch from me and live, I can decide to let you go."
The man's eyes grew dimmer and more frenzied, he actively became Devilic with deep Devil Thought.
As the Big Mace swung, his aura ascended a tiny fraction again, at that moment, it seemed like cries of battle and anger exploded, shaking minds and affecting will.
The village chief took a breath, unyielding, actively meeting the attack.
With a step, that emaciated body seemingly devoid of flesh and blood swelled several circles as Qi-Blood surged like waves.
