Sheng Fu

Chapter 1101 Fate is a Circle
Seeing Li Hongshan's quick response, even Shen Jun, who was standing to the side, showed a strange expression.

The complexity of this matter lies in the fact that after the Ji family in the north is taken down, the other powerful families and clans may also rebel under the pressure of the new policies.

The power of aristocratic families should not be underestimated.

To silence the dissent in the halls of power, we must also silence the mouths of the common people.

Li Hongshan chuckled and said, "Your Highness has been wise all your life, how could you be so confused now?"

"Hasn't Ji Zhongtian been dead for many years?"

"How is he still alive? If we capture Ji Zhongtian alive, the world will know that Ji Zhongtian has been living secretly all along. Even if Ji Zhongtian claims to be in seclusion and has not been involved in worldly affairs for many years, that's fine too. Where did the treasure of Lingyun Mountain Range come from?"

"Instead of using spatial artifacts, why build a field within the Lingyun Mountains to hide treasures?"

"What is the purpose of this?"

"Ji Zhongtian can take all the blame."

"This time, it is only aimed at the Ji family in the north, not at the other aristocratic families and clans."

Yuwen Jun immediately felt that there was some truth to it.

Yuwen Jun said thoughtfully, "The Ziwei Blade is indeed a good piece of evidence. Who would use a weapon like the Ziwei Blade out of nowhere? It's a pity that Wan Xin is dead! If I had known this would happen, I should have asked the Emperor to spare his life."

"Unfortunately, it was impossible to leave any survivors at that time. With the God Emperor present, the Human Emperor did not have enough room to set up a scheme."

There are indeed many aspects of Ji Zhongtian that can be explored.

Yuwen Jun looked at Shen Jun suspiciously and asked, "How much do you know about Yang He? Is he involved with the Yang family of Yunhan?"

Ji Zhongtian has the backing of the Ji family in the north.

The background and origins of Yang He remain a mystery for now.

If we can divide and conquer them, that would be best.

Shen Jun looked troubled and said, "I don't know his specific background either. Years ago, when Yang He encountered obstacles in his cultivation, it was Alliance Leader Wan Xin who bestowed upon Yang He cultivation techniques and many elixirs and medicines, supporting him all the way to the Limitless Realm."

If that's the case, things will become even more complicated.

Even if Wan Xin, the spiritual leader of the Purple Gold Alliance, were to die, Yang He would rather die than surrender easily in order to preserve the last vestige of dignity for the Purple Gold Alliance.

Yuwen Jun paced back and forth, silently thinking, "This Emperor is really something. Why did he have to consider it so many times before letting me handle this matter? After killing Wan Xin, he should have immediately handed over this important task to Hengchang Sect. Otherwise, why would we be in such a passive position?"

“Three or four days have passed. Although the Chaos Space is not a large area, some secret realms are extremely difficult to find. Moreover, these few days are enough for Ji Zhongtian and Yang He to formulate a rough strategic plan.”

As the new policy trend reaches its peak, at this critical juncture, no battle can occur within the human race's territory. Even a battle involving only a few thousand people, let alone a civil war with 100,000 troops, would greatly affect the balance of power.

It's true that the Northern Seven-Character Quatrains and the Southern Five-Character Quatrains are currently very popular, but the powerful families and nobles in the imperial court are the most difficult to deal with.

The public's attitude can only be a trigger.

If the timing is not right, even if the fuse is lit, it will be difficult to catch a big fish.

The best outcome is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Yuwen Jun was well aware of the Emperor's intention: to use the reputation and prestige he had accumulated over the years to forcibly eliminate the remaining forces of the Purple Gold Alliance.

However, this would cause Yuwen Jun to lose the hearts of many people.

Ordinary people don't understand these things.

But learned people can always see the tricks of the trade.

This move is tantamount to forcibly waging war against the powerful and wealthy, and forcibly depriving them of their accumulated wealth. If this were to be done, it would not be conducive to Yuwen Jun winning people's hearts in the future. Even many famous scholars and righteous talents from prominent families would not dare to approach Yuwen Jun's household.

It's really hard to strike the right balance.

"Based on your understanding of Yang He, where is Yang He right now? Is he still in the Chaos Space?" Yuwen Jun asked Shen Jun.

Shen Jun looked troubled, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"It's hard to say. It could be within the human realm, or it could be in the chaotic space," Shen Jun replied helplessly, bowing his head.

Yuwen Jun smiled silently.

It must be said that the Purple Gold Alliance has a very solid framework, with each member fulfilling their duties. If the truth were to come out one day, it would be difficult to extract useful information from just one or two people.

Yuwen Jun also learned this skill.

Yuwen Jun looked at Li Hongshan and tentatively asked in a low voice, "How many of the Star Luo elites are left within the human realm?"

Many of the Star Luo elites have already gone to the Divine Realm to gather intelligence.

Only Li Hongshan knew how many elite Star Luo warriors the human race still had.

"Less than 40% are available, 20% are needed for daily official duties, leaving only 20% available," Li Hongshan said.

Yuwen Jun decisively ordered, "Panlong and Xingluo should join forces to monitor all parts of the human race and prevent Yang He from suddenly rebelling in a certain mountain or prefecture."

"In addition, 10% of the elite troops were specially selected to secretly monitor the powerful and influential who were extremely dissatisfied with the new policies."

"To prevent a disaster caused by collusion from within and without."

Li Hongshan nodded solemnly.

“The Grand Preceptor is overseeing the human realm, while I will venture into the Chaos Space. If I can meet Yang He alone there, that would be for the best,” Yuwen Jun said.

Without Chu Yu and the Primordial Spirit Cat's help, this really wouldn't have been possible...

"There's no time to lose, we must act immediately," Yuwen Jun said with a serious expression.

Shen Jun looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Then what about me? What should I do?"

“Come with me,” Yuwen Jun said.

After much thought, Yuwen Jun realized that only by having Shen Jun by her side could she feel at ease.

"Would you get involved in a fight?" Yuwen Jun suddenly asked Shen Jun, looking at him with a meaningful expression.

Li Hongshan also cast a gradually heavy gaze at Shen Jun. This man seemed to have come to surrender, but the information he provided was extremely limited, and he remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

Whether Shen Jun is good or bad is still difficult to determine in Li Hongshan's mind.

Shen Jun frowned slightly, looking embarrassed, and said, "Yes, we'll sing the song of whichever mountain we arrive at."

Yuwen Jun laughed heartily and said, "Perfect!"

As he spoke, Yuwen Jun pointed his fingers like a sword and left a dragon aura on Shen Jun's body.

"We'll meet at the foot of Shuanglong Mountain later," Yuwen Jun said.

Shen Jun nodded, his expression strange, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He had already realized that Yuwen Jun had gone to find help this time.

Shen Jun didn't bother to guess what kind of extraordinary person it was, as he himself was currently in a precarious situation.

……

The Spirit Realm, the One Night Sect, within the Heavenly Sea Secret Realm.

Inside the house, Bei Hanmeng paced back and forth, holding the child, occasionally giving him a flirtatious look.

Chu Yu was silently cultivating in the simple practice area outside the house when suddenly, Bei Hanfei looked out the window, and a moment later, Yuwen Jun arrived.

"What brings you here?" Bei Hanmeng asked, frowning at Yuwen Jun's worried expression.

"Things happened suddenly, and I have to take Chu Yu with me. I hope you will understand, sister," Yuwen Jun replied hesitantly.

If Chu Yu stays here, she can help with chores. With Chu Yu around, Bei Hanmeng won't have to do many of the tedious housework herself. After taking Chu Yu away, Bei Hanmeng will have to take on some of the more complicated tasks. Besides, taking care of a child is something that sometimes one person simply can't handle.

"How big of a deal is it?" Bei Hanmeng asked Yuwen Jun with a slight gaze.

Yuwen Jun did not hide anything and said truthfully, "If we are not careful, there could be bloodshed for miles around."

Upon hearing this, Bei Hanmeng immediately deflated, nodded with her eyes closed, and said, "Try to finish this quickly."

Yuwen Jun bowed slightly and said, "Thank you."

With a slight thought, Chu Yu in the dojo instantly opened her eyes and quickly walked to Yuwen Jun's side.

"This time, we'll have to rely on you to find someone," Yuwen Jun said, patting Chu Yu on the shoulder with a serious expression.

Seeing her elder brother's somber expression, Chu Yu immediately took a deep breath and said, "Alright."

When Yuwen Jun was searching for intelligence in the Chaos Space, he thought about taking Chu Yu with him. But then he thought that the Purple Gold Alliance was powerful, and if they encountered a fierce battle, Yuwen Jun might not be able to protect Chu Yu.

Secondly, Chu Yu was still a child and one of Gu Yong's heirs, so Yuwen Jun couldn't bear to take Chu Yu with him on his campaigns.

However, Wan Xin has already been killed in action, and Ying Long and the Demon Queen are strong enough to handle any situation, big or small.

In an instant, Yuwen Jun brought Chu Yu to the Minghun Mountain.

"I need your help this time. I can't do without you," Yuwen Jun said.

A moment later, a slender white light entered Yuwen Jun's forehead.

"It's so annoying every day," the ancient spirit cat grumbled reluctantly in Yuwen Jun's mind.

Yuwen Jun softly replied in her heart, "You are a cat, not a human."

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Spirit Cat replied irritably, "If you keep talking, I'm quitting."

Yuwen Jun quickly reassured him, "Don't be like that. I still have pills made from the Heavenly Nether Python. I know you've been thinking about them, but you've never mentioned them. I've also been too busy with official duties lately to think about you."

"I can give you two nine-colored pills."

"If I ever need your help in the future, I hope you will do me the honor."

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Spirit Cat immediately changed its tone, saying, "Oh dear, we're all family, how can we speak like that? Don't be so petty. Even if you gave me the pills, I wouldn't want them."

Yuwen Jun smiled knowingly and said, "If you don't want it, I'll pry open your mouth and force-feed it to you."

The ancient spirit cat replied, feigning displeasure, "I just can't do anything with you furry kids all day long."

After a few words, Yuwen Jun led Chu Yu to the foot of Shuanglong Mountain.

The moonlight is still the same moonlight, but my state of mind is no longer the same.

Nowadays, Yuwen Jun no longer needs the approval of a guide; with just a thought, he can freely enter and exit the Chaos Space.

A wisp of dragon energy was released, and in an instant, Shen Jun appeared beside him.

When Shen Jun discovered that there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy beside Yuwen Jun, he was momentarily bewildered. But after slightly sensing the presence, Shen Jun's eyes were filled with awe for Chu Yu.

"A naturally born holy body, truly extraordinary," Shen Jun thought to himself with great envy.

"Let's go," Yuwen Jun said softly.

……

In the chaotic space.

Led by Shen Jun, Yuwen Jun and his entourage arrived at the former palace of Wanxin.

The palace remains grand and magnificent, resplendent in gold, but it is now completely empty.

Shen Jun also inadvertently cast a strange glance at Yuwen Jun. Yuwen Jun's move of crossing the void did not leave any void imprint. Even Shen Jun, a peak Wuji expert, would have revealed some clues. At such a young age, he had such cultivation. Shen Jun could only sigh inwardly. Could it be that the final outcome of this great struggle does not depend on the five monarchs, but on the young geniuses of this era?

“They left this place two days ago, and I have already sensed their presence,” Chu Yu said to Yuwen Jun after looking around.

Upon hearing this, not only Yuwen Jun, but even Shen Jun showed an expression of disbelief.

"Really?" Yuwen Jun squatted down, adjusting Chu Yu's trouser legs as he asked with a hint of disbelief.

When he took Chu Yu to find the Mountain of Bright Souls, Chu Yu was still young and had not yet formally embarked on the path of cultivation. Although she was exceptionally talented, she still stumbled along the way before finally finding the Mountain of Bright Souls.

Chu Yu has been cultivating for several years now, and his perception of the laws of heaven and earth is naturally better than before, but no one expected it to be this acute.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu smiled smugly and said, "My elder brother hasn't taken me on any long trips in the past few years, so he naturally doesn't know how capable I am. But no matter how capable I am, I can never compare to my elder brother's great talent and ambition."

Yuwen Jun chuckled and said, "Yes, you've grown quite robust."

"With your current strength, plus the Chaos Emperor Qi, how long do you think it will take you to find those two?"

Knowing that this matter was of great importance, Chu Yu thought for a moment and replied, "With the support of my elder brother's Chaos Emperor Qi, we can determine the whereabouts of those two people in at most half an hour."

"However, the two of them are no longer within the chaotic space at this moment."

Shen Jun was completely stunned after hearing these words.

Fortunately, I went to Shanshui Manor to pay my respects earlier; if I had gone a day or two later, I would have surely met a terrible end.

Yuwen Jun smiled smugly and said, "If that's the case, then things will be much easier!"

With a thought in mind, he led Shen Jun and Chu Yu back to the foot of Shuanglong Mountain.

Yuwen Jun placed his right hand on Chu Yu's shoulder, and a large amount of chaotic imperial energy surged into Chu Yu's body.

Yuwen Jun said excitedly, "This scope includes the entire human race, and it may even encompass the entire world."

"However, Brother, there will definitely be enough Chaotic Emperor Qi tonight."

"You must investigate carefully."

Chu Yu closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and merged his true essence with the chaotic imperial energy. In an instant, his perception became five times clearer, covering the entire human territory in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jun waited silently to the side, also protecting Chu Yu.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Chu Yu suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils shining brightly, like a surging and overflowing galaxy.

"The two of them are in the Purple Qi Mountain in the north," Chu Yu said with certainty.

In the past, when Bai Xiaowei carried out work relief in the north, Chu Yu, along with Wei Huan and Shi Kun, surveyed the terrain all over the north. They couldn't say they knew the northern region by heart, but they still remembered the famous mountains and rivers.

Coincidentally, Ziqi Mountain is a very famous and majestic mountain.

Yuwen Jun patted his head, saying helplessly, "After all this time, it turns out it was right under my nose."

"I will take you back to the Heavenly Sea Secret Realm first thing tomorrow morning."

"Sister Meng will definitely be very surprised and happy this time."

After several years of cultivation, Chu Yu is probably unmatched in the world when it comes to locating and tracking objects.

So what if the Demon Lord is the best in the world? He failed to seize the opportunity when such a peerless genius appeared in his own territory.

"Let's go, let's attack the Ji family!" Yuwen Jun laughed loudly.

……

Inside Shanshui Manor.

Li Hongshan had just sent several messages via the red bird and was pacing back and forth in the courtyard, pondering his next move, when he saw Yuwen Jun return with Chu Yu and Shen Jun.

"Hmm? What kind of rules are these?" Li Hongshan asked suspiciously, seeing Yuwen Jun's raised eyebrows.
