Repugnant Gateway Chapter 288

When the newly appointed Vice Minister of Rites Xiao Seat arrived at the Martial Arts Academy, An Zeng was watching the artisans refurbish the library.

The Xiao family was the first family clan that had ruled out experts after An Zaiyue had entered the Magnificent Jewel Palace.

On the surface, the Xiao family did not seem to be that powerful. At the very least, there were few people in key positions within the imperial government.

Only after Empress Dowager Su fell did the crowd realize with astonishment that there was a close relationship between the Xiao family and a small portion of the imperial court.

""Duke Huang.""

Shaw was already over forty years old, but he could only call Ye Xiao ""master"" in front of the security dispute.

In the entire world, there was no other country where a sixteen-year-old boy had become the Duke of the Nation.

Only the most important officials and officials would be conferred the title of the Duke.

Although there were people obstructing Mu Qidao when he was conferred the title, they were unable to stop him.

If he tried to stop them again, he would become the next king.

""What's going on with the Rites Department?""

An Zhe turned his head and looked at Xiao Zaiji, ""A small Fire Crane Clan member dares to run amok in Fang Gu City. Does the Yan Country even have any dignity left?""

The Xiao family's old patriarch lowered his head and said, ""It's just that I didn't expect those people to run out of the inn so easily, and even stop the Imperial Duke in the middle of the street.""

""What are you going to do with it?""

""Send them out.""

""Send them out?""

An said, ""Yan people are righteous, and their words are clear.""

If I said I wanted one hundred thousand taels of gold, then it would be one hundred thousand taels.

Fifty thousand horses, then fifty thousand horses, and not a single hair less than a copper coin.

If you don't have enough gold and silver, you can use leather to make up for it.

If the Fire Crane Clan is unwilling to leave, then let them fight.

General Fang Dao was almost at Swallow Gate's entrance. With Swallow Mountain's Sky Chasm, even if the Fire Crane Clan wanted to fight, they still had to weigh the consequences.

In the conflict between the plains, I, Big Yan, am not afraid of light cavalry.

Attacking and defending, and still be afraid of them. ""

""But, my lord, we do not have enough men at the moment. If war breaks out …""

""I can't.""

""Just do as I say. Remember never to let anyone see that you're not confident.""

The less confidence you have, the more confidence your opponent has, the more he will bully you.

""After beating up his son, and then demanding that he use money to atone for it, the Fire Crane Clan and the entire forty-eight tribes of the Great Prairie all wanted to think about why the Yan Country is so powerful.""

After being silent for a while, Xiao Sans said, ""Then let's follow the instructions of the Emperor.""

An Zhan nodded, ""Right, have you found out where Ding Ningdong is?""

""No.""

Xiao Sai replied, ""The Protocol Department has settled the matter. The Ding family's assets have all been investigated. There is no trace of Ding Ningdong.""

An Xin nodded her head and said, ""Later, I will ask the Board of Justice to help me check again. We cannot show any weakness to the clans in the prairie now.""

Even you and I know that we don't have the energy to fight. We absolutely can't fight, nor should we show any weakness.

He had to put on an act as well, and this matter was going to end soon. If the Fire Crane Clan didn't hand over the ransom, they couldn't let the Fire Crane Dali go.

It doesn't matter if they waited for a year. After a year, if the Fire Crane Clan doesn't pay, then they can send the Fire Crane Dali to the border to work as a laborer. ""

Xiao Seat nodded, ""Then this lowly official will take his leave first.""

Not long after he left, people from the Martial Arts Academy ran in quickly and told An Zeng that there were people looking for him outside.

An Zaiyue asked who it was and replied that it was someone from the Supreme Court.

An Xuan frowned slightly. The Supreme Dao Palace and the Heavenly Awakening Sect had never interacted with each other before, so why did they suddenly come looking for him?

When An Zaiyue reached the front, a young Daoist wearing a Daoist robe stood there. After seeing An Zaiyue, he quickly came over to pay his respects, ""Imperial Father, disciple Yunshu, on Master's orders, has invited you to meet me at the Moon Pavilion.""

""Who is your Master?""

""It's Zhou Jiuji.""

An Zaiyue thought back to that day at the brocade palace when Zhou Jiuji of the Supreme Dao Palace had also made his move.

Now that the various factions were all trying to win over the other factions, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the Supreme Court not being able to remain seated.

Zhou Jiuji and Xu Baimei were the main organizers of the training hall.

However, it was said that the monastery head of the Taoist temple, surnamed Xiang, had been in closed door cultivation the entire time.

Most likely, the things that happened at the Supreme Dao Court were related to the Grand Dao Court.

Designed by Zhou Jiuji and Xu Baimei.

As for Xu Baimei, she was right outside the plane.

""Do you know why your master is looking for me?""

""Disciple doesn't know.""

""Go back and tell your master that the Moon Restaurant's food is not good. If you want to drink, come to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect.""

As they walked back, Daoist Yunshu added, ""Master said that the Empyrean Terminus Palace's array was built with the help of the Taishang Taoist temple. Only the Taishang Taoist temple knew of its secret.""

""This secret might be more important to the Yan Emperor.""

""Are you threatening me?""

Yunshu hurriedly said, ""Disciple doesn't dare. I was only following Master's orders to deliver the message.""

An Zaiyan remained silent for a while before he thought of Mu Changyan.

Rumor has it that there was indeed a powerful formation in the Heavenly Temple. It was created by the combination of the ancestors of the Mu Clan and the seniors of the Supreme Dao Palace.

While An Zhan was chatting with Mu Changyan, Mu Changyan, who had lost her wits, had said intermittently that if she could activate the formation, she could kill Empress Dowager Su.

His only hope was Xiao Qi.

No one outside the sect dared to hear these words because they involved the safety of Xiao Qidao.

""Go back and tell your master that I'll be there on time.""

After An Zaiyue returned to the Heavenly Apostle Sect to make the arrangements, he felt that something was amiss.

Afterwards, he would go to the Moon Pavilion to meet them. The Moon Pavilion would be in the north city, far from the Heavenly Ascension Sect. Thus, he was quite close to the Supreme Dao Court.

An Zaiyue arrived at the appointed place on time. However, there was no one in the room.

About ten minutes later, Daoist Yunshu, who had been here during the day, ran in and apologized profusely, saying that something big had happened in the Supreme Court, so please wait patiently.

An Zaiyue originally wanted to leave, but then he remembered the importance of the formation to Xiao Qidao, so he could only sit down and wait.

He waited for an hour.

An hour later, An Xuan's face suddenly changed.

He quickly took out the concentric knot from the bracelet and discovered that it had turned blue.

Blue danger, black death.

The other was in Du's thin hands.

An Zeng immediately stood up and was about to leave, but the sky outside suddenly darkened.

A huge object fell from the sky and enveloped the entire Moon Pavilion.

An Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he immediately summoned his sword and slashed out.

There was a flash of purple light from the object outside, but it was not broken by the dark sword!

Outside the Moon Pavilion, a huge net covered all of the buildings.

After the net landed on the ground, it drilled through the ground like a net taking root. A moment later, it drilled through the ground and connected together under the ground, completely wrapping the Moon Pavilion up.

An Zhe instantly sensed what it was.

Magic equipment.

Purple grade magic equipment!

An Zeng's mind instantly thought of a person … Nineteen Devils.

The Supreme Dao Court and the Nineteen Fiends had allied together?

However, An Zhe's mind couldn't calm down at all. The knot in his heart had turned blue, which meant that something dangerous had happened to Skinny Du.

According to Du's thin nature, if it wasn't that he really had no way to deal with it, he wouldn't easily try to get in touch with them.

""What a coincidence. Why is the Duke of the Country here as well?""

Voices came from the lobby on the first floor, and Andersen walked over to the fence and looked down.

""So it's you.""

An Zaiyue's eyes were locked onto that person, revealing his killing intent.

Drizzle Court, Ning Muye.

Ning Muye said, ""So it was me?""

So it was me?

Ah … I remember now, it was really me.

It was I who sent someone to pretend to be someone from the Supreme Court and invited you here in the name of Zhou Jiuji.

He said that there is an important matter related to King Yan, Mu Qidao, and he wants to discuss it with you, so you have no choice but to come.

If it was for you, you might not even come.

""But as long as the name Mu Qidao is mentioned, you will definitely come.""

Ning Muye smiled and said, ""I don't know if the Duke of the Kingdom has been deceived before, but there's no difficulty in deceiving someone like you.""

Of course they were fooled.

That year, someone told him that Prince Chen Zhongzhu of the Great Xi was in danger in Yan Country. He was alone and didn't sleep at all. He rushed all the way from the Great Xi all the way to Yan Country.

After that, he would be attacked in the Azure Barbarian Mountain and his body would perish.

This time, wasn't it different?

The people of the Fine Rain House had used the matter related to Xiao Qidao to trick An Zhan to the Moon Tower. It was the same as when An Zhan was tricked to the Cangman Mountain.

However, this was the kind of person that would fight for peace. Perhaps next time, he would still be tricked.

An Zeng didn't say a word. He turned around and struck out with his sword once more.

He had already reached the state of 'Captive'. His cultivation was strong and his sword qi was awe-inspiring.

However, he was still unable to break the net outside.

""Don't bother.""

Ning Muye said, ""Rather than wasting energy, why don't we sit down and have a chat?""

Although the Duke of the Kingdom was reckless, he was not a fool.

So maybe now you can guess why we did it?

You're only sixteen?

Tsk tsk … Sixteen years old, the Duke of the Kingdom, the most powerful official.

What do you think you can do if you go on living?

Yan Wang's position is for you?

Of course not.

So you should thank me for what I did.

Do you think that … many years later, Mu Qiidao will allow you to threaten his position as an adult?

""There's no way to repay this debt of gratitude, so you should know the reason behind killing her, right?""

""Therefore, I am the one who killed you and not Mu Qianyu. You should be happy.""

At the very least, it isn't that painful … By the way, I mentioned that Mu Qiidao did things cleanly and decisively.

In the future, if Mu Qidao grows up, he will definitely thank me.

However, he wouldn't have that chance. He would kill you and exterminate the Heavenly Ascension Sect.

""Mu Qidao then lost his protection. As for the Military Department … Wang KaiTai has no schemes, so it's not a cause for concern.""

""The Prime Minister, Chen Zhiyan, is not a threat at all.""

Although this person sounded like a strategist, he was only a strategist. His ability was average, but he wasn't firm in his decision.

If he was allowed to become the prime minister, he would be able to hold the country but not the territory of the country. In such a dangerous situation, he could be considered a suitable candidate.

Therefore, this person had to be kept for the time being.

""In the future, when the Yan Country becomes stable, this person will no longer have any need to exist.""

Ning Muye looked at An Zaiyue, and spoke with a calm tone, ""As for your Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, I estimate that you're about to die.""

Remember the gift I gave you?

Blue-eyed Golden Eyed Beasts, you can clearly see the strength and number of magical equipment in your sect.

For these people, we are ready to deal with them.

""One hit, one hit.""

""If you are trapped here, you should still be the last to die.""

""Later, I will tell you one by one who died, who died, and who died.""

Ning Muye sat down on a chair, ""Come on, come down and kill me.""

""Kill me, and you'll suffer less.""

He raised his head and looked at An Zeng, his face full of provocation.

An Zeng took a deep breath and looked at the huge net shrouded in purple light.

""Where is the Nineteen?""

he asked.

""Who are the Nineteen Devils?""

""You mean Mo Nineteen?""

Ning Muye asked a question in reply, then shook his head, ""It's not important. His goal is to kill you. It's the same for us as well, so we just have to do it together.""

An Xuan turned around and faced the huge net. He swung his sword. His eyes were red, and veins were popping out on his forehead."
