Chapter 698: Ants Turn the World Upside Down
"Take it."

However, when the thumb-sized copper seal flew in front of him, Zou Sijiu did not reach out to catch it, but instead froze it in mid-air.

The object floating in front of his eyes was just a medium of embodiment. In the eyes of a Yin-Yang sequence master like Zou Sijiu, what Zhang Fengyue threw over was actually a boundless dark sea, which contained countless dreams.

If I can get this 30% of the authority, plus the 30% I have now, then no matter whether he is Huang Liang's biological son or mistress, he will have to call me dad.

If I meet that perverted old ghost Zhan Shun again, it will be him who should turn around and run away, not me.

The value is immeasurable and the temptation is equally irresistible.

Zou Sijiu's throat rolled up and down, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked away with difficulty.

"I haven't paid back the money I borrowed before. If I borrow again now, old man, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back."

Looking at Zou Sijiu with a wry smile on his face, Zhang Fengyue certainly understood what he meant.

It’s not that I’m afraid of not being able to pay it back, but I’m afraid that once I get the money, I’ll lose my life.

Zhang Fengyue knew it in his heart that it was no wonder that the other party was so distant and wary of him. If anyone else heard what Zhang Xiji said, they would not dare to trust him easily again.

"It seems that the name 'Zhang Fengyue' has become infamous."

The old man sighed listlessly, his robes stained with self-mockery and loneliness.

"Old Zou, why are you being so stubborn now that you've gotten a bargain? Hurry up and take it."

Just when the situation was becoming extremely awkward, an extremely weak voice suddenly sounded.

A bloody hand grabbed the floating bronze seal and stuffed it directly into Zou Sijiu's arms.

Li Jun forced a smile on his face, which was covered in dust and blood. "He is a man who is too proud to continue to borrow from you. I am the only one who can thank you on his behalf."

"You are so injured, yet you still have the energy to talk nonsense with me here. You are really a tough warrior."

Zhang Fengyue couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Jun waking up from coma.

"I used to think I was tough and strong. If I really met No. 2, even if I couldn't beat him, I would be able to tire him out. But this time, I finally understand what it means that there is always someone better than you."

Li Jun glanced at Yuan Mingfei and Zou Sijiu, dragged his heavy feet to the old man, and sat down on the loose soil on the ground.

"If I were really allowed to fight Zhang Xiji in his prime, I would have already reported downstairs. I guess I would be bargaining with the King of Hell at this moment, trying to see if I could switch to another sequence in my next life and be with Zhang Xiji."

"There is no such reckless man as you in the new school of Taoism."

Zhang Fengyue blinked and joked to the tired-looking man, "It seems that this fight has made you more fearful?"

"Every failure is a learning experience. You have to understand what you should understand. You can't shamelessly take all the credit for yourself when someone else dies, right?"

"If Zhang Xiji could hear what you said, he would probably die even more miserably."

"That can't be helped. He was so ruthless that he killed most of the people around him. To use your words, Confucian Xu, those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters."

Zhang Fengyue smiled and said, "So you think you have many supporters?"

"not me."

Li Jun shook his head and said sincerely, "It's you, old man."

Zhang Fengyue was startled when he heard that. Looking at the pair of eyes that were still full of blood but looked unusually honest, he couldn't help but fall into a brief silence.

"If you, a Wuxu who specializes in killing people, were to comfort me, I would be going backwards in life."

The old man laughed at himself, then deliberately glared and said, "Let me make it clear first, I don't have anything valuable on my body right now. Even if you flatter me to the heavens against your conscience, I won't be able to take advantage of you."

"Well, then I'm just throwing my seductive eyes at a blind man."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"See? This is what it means to be a good person. Zou Sijiu, you are still too young."

A dark red mechanical eye quietly approached his face, startling Zou Sijiu who was in a daze.

Zou Sijiu rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Master Ma, you are not dead yet?"

"I'm almost dead. Hurry up and take out your lustful desire to moisten my body. Maybe I can still hold on to my breath."

"Okay, I now have 60% of the authority in my hands. Not to mention the tide of desire, there is no sea of ​​desire."

Zou Sijiu chuckled, but was shocked to find that the hair hanging in front of his eyes was rapidly turning red, and he immediately changed the subject.

"None of these are within my capabilities. Master Ma, you have found the wrong person. I am really not familiar with those things."

The broken black armor hung on Zou Sijiu's body, and a faint voice came out of his red eyes: "Do you really want to watch him die without helping?"

Zou Sijiu said seriously: "I can't help you!"

"That's a pity. Last time, your aunts said they wanted to introduce their daughters to you."

The red hair moved without wind, and murderous aura spread all over the place.

Zou Sijiu felt a chill on his back, as if a pair of cold eyes were staring at him from behind.

"Mr. Ma, what kind of occasion is this? Can you please stop talking nonsense?"

Zou Sijiu thought quickly and lowered his voice to change the subject, "Do you think Lao Li will foolishly fall into the trap again?"

"Humph."

The murderous aura gradually faded away. Zou Sijiu raised his two trembling hands and slowly wiped his temples, his face full of relief for surviving the disaster.

"Do you think this old man will cheat us?"

"I know he's not that kind of person, but..."

"No buts."

Lord Ma interrupted Zou Sijiu and said in a deep voice, "Others made plans, and we did the hard work. We killed people who had grudges against us, and we did things that did not violate our conscience. That's enough. There is no question of whether to cheat or not. Even if everyone has to tear their faces apart in the end because of different ideas, it depends on who has the greater ability. Life and death are up to fate."

The jokes from afar drifted in with the wind, as if adding a voice-over that indicated the scene of an old man and a young boy looking at each other under the dilapidated eaves of this side.

"It seems that Xiao Ma understands your thoughts best."

"Master Ma speaks frankly, please don't mind."

"To be honest, I didn't like them before. I thought they were not human. At best, they were just weapons and tools created by Mo Xu for self-protection with the help of Huang Liang. But now it seems that they are more like human than those flesh-and-blood beings."

"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. When I was a member of the Jinyiwei in the Japanese area, Captain Su Ce, who was born in Liaodong, once told me that you can't judge a person by his eyes, you have to judge him by the facts."

"Yes, so there is no Zhang Fengyue who has planned everything out in this world. There is only an old man who is crossing the river by feeling the stones, with one foot deep and one foot shallow, covered in mud, but still not sure whether he can successfully wade across the river."

Looking at the old man who kept sighing, Li Jun felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart, like a lump in his throat, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"I have done my best to help Concubine Yuan Ming with her second Buddhist order. However, the order of belief of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism has too many drawbacks. The situation of the Buddhist order is even more miserable than that of the Taoist order. Her condition is almost the same as that of Zhang Xiji who lost his 'position'. Even if she reshapes her body, it will probably take a long time to completely make up for her shortcomings."

Zhang Fengyue closed his eyes and looked into the distance: "Before this, the Fan land is still your foundation. You can't leave it and you can't lose it. Otherwise, if one side is gone, all the other sides will be gone."

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Zhang."

Concubine Yuan Ming bowed her hands and clasped her fists like a man.

"We are even now."

The old man turned his head and looked in front of him: "As for you, you are the only one in history who is ranked second in the Lone Martial Order. You should have already figured out how to proceed. I, who often goes astray, will not mislead you."

Seeing Li Jun's strange expression, Zhang Fengyue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why, do you think I'm arranging my funeral?"

"It's true that they look alike." Li Jun said frankly.

"Don't worry, my long-cherished wish has not yet been fulfilled, and I cannot swallow my last breath. Now I am just repaying a favor, lest I forget it when the day comes." "Now that Zhang Xiji is dead, the new school of Taoism is completely over. What are you going to do next? Go directly north? Or..."

Before Li Jun finished speaking, a series of sharp explosions suddenly sounded in the distant sky, and a pair of huge wings broke through the clouds.

The Moqijing has arrived.

However, there was not only Chen Qisheng who appeared on Peng's back, but also many Confucian scholars that Li Jun had never seen before, and the leader was none other than Pei Xingjian.

"teacher"

Pei Xingjian had no time to pay attention to Li Jun and others, his eyes were always fixed on the old man.

After repeatedly confirming that his teacher's life was not in danger, Pei Xingjian's cold and gloomy face finally relaxed a little, but deep sadness soon emerged in his eyes.

Even though he had received the news long ago, when he actually saw the body hidden under the cloak, he still couldn't control the emotions surging in his heart.

When they were alive, they were on edge and wanted to kill each other with their own hands.

But when they were separated by life and death, all the memories that came to his mind were the interesting things that happened with him as a student when he was young, and they lingered in his mind.

Whether he was learning from the sages in his dream or dealing with people in the real world, Pei Xingjian had heard too many stories of this kind of people who were not interested in people but in things, and who loved and hated each other.

In the past, Pei Xingjian always sneered at it, thinking it was too pretentious and hypocritical. People do what they like, and if the things are not right, how can the person be right?
But now, he realized that he was no exception and was not as clear about what he loved and hated as he claimed.

Zhang Fengyue nodded and said softly, "It's good that you're here. Send your brother's body back to the old site of the academy. He should like that place more than Jinling."

"Yes."

Pei Xingjian nodded in response, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his expression seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What happened?"

"Civil strife broke out within the Law Order, and many people chose to side with the Zhu family. However, Shang Sigu had already handed over the Huangliang Law Realm before the rebellion, and it should be in Shang Lu's hands now."

"During the time he has been with me, he has become much smarter and knows that he can't just bet on one side."

This is different from Li Junzhi's amiable and even nagging image.

At this moment, Zhang Fengyue has regained his former momentum, standing tall and majestic, facing the winds rising from all directions calmly.

"But if that's all, Xingjian, your expression shouldn't be so grim. Is there any other bad news?"

"The imperial court has issued an edict to strip you of all your official positions and titles. A large number of powerful families have also declared their allegiance to the Zhu family's imperial power and no longer recognize your status as the leader of the new Donglin Party."

"In addition to these, there should be a letter listing my crimes and cursing me harshly, right? This is all within expectations."

Zhang Fengyue said calmly: "But even if I lose the position of party leader and prime minister, I still have the title of the new Donglin Academy's president, so I won't lose my life for a while because of a drop in rank. Is that all?"

"Senior Brother Gao Sheng is dead."

Pei Xingjian said in a low voice: "Under Zhu Yiyan's coercion, he knelt and died in the Zhu family ancestral temple."

Zhang Fengyue remained silent, and the wrinkles on his face became even deeper at this moment.

"Oh, I see."

"There was a swan slaughtering a city along the coast, Li Bufeng died too."

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after Pei Xingjian said this, Li Jun, who had been listening quietly, suddenly felt that the old man seemed to have had all his flesh and blood sucked out, leaving only a shriveled skin on his bony skeleton.

The eaves and tiles are broken, and the old man looks like a corpse.

As if unable to support his heavy eyelids, the old man slowly closed his eyes.
"What else? Say it!"

"It was Yi Zheng. After he got the news, he went into the rebel area alone."

Pei Xingjian, who specializes in "ritual art", dares to scold the world's aristocratic families alone, and never cares about what it means to speak ill of others. However, he never thought that there would be a sentence in his life that would be so difficult to say.

He spoke each word with an unpleasant hoarse voice.

"He said he would bring back Li Bufeng's body for you."

"Hey"

A long sigh hides myriad guilt and sadness.

"This bastard"

The old man closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "He wants to help me tell the world that he, Zhang Fengyue, is not a heartless, ruthless and ungrateful person."

Pei Xingjian looked guilty: "It's the student's fault. I should have done it. I should have stopped Yi Zheng."

"I owe him, it has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Fengyue shook his head and said, "He sees it more clearly than us."

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, his sharp gaze looking straight into Li Jun's eyes.

"Li Jun, you just asked me what I want to do next. I will tell you now. Everyone in this world says that below the sequence, people are like ants. I want to show them that millions of ants can also turn the world upside down!"

Zhang Fengyue stood up suddenly, strode forward, and a group of Confucian scholars followed closely.

In the distance, a convoy had been waiting for a long time.

boom!
The isolated remaining eaves finally couldn't hold on and collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

"What does this mean? Old man Zhang is going to fight alone. We have nothing to do with it?"

Lord Ma spoke in confusion, with a red light flashing in his one eye.

"Old Ma, this is why you don't know how to behave."

Zou Sijiu crossed his arms over his chest, snorted, and said, "Why do you think Pei Xingjian said these words in front of us? He is begging us to save him."

Lord Ma asked back, "Then why didn't Zhang Fengyue speak?"

"This"

Zou Sijiu's expression froze and he didn't know how to answer.

"He felt that he didn't have the ability to repay the favor, so he couldn't ask for it."

Yuan Mingfei's voice sounded faintly at this moment: "He has already settled all the previous accounts."

Zou Sijiu and Ma Wangye fell silent at the same time after hearing this, and looked at Li Jun who stood up.

"Broken Heaven and Earth Connection? Old Zhang, it seems that what Zhang Xiji said is right, you are really lying. But no matter whether your real purpose is to awaken the people's wisdom and rise up in resistance, or really want to eradicate all sequences. I am not interested in so much."

Li Jun looked up at Zhang Fengyue's receding back and said to himself.

After a moment, his sight finally fell on the line of small black words that had appeared for a long time.

[Get 600 mastery points]

[642 mastery points remaining]

[Consume 320 mastery points, and improve martial arts skills. 】

[Consume 320 mastery points, and your martial arts skills will be improved. 】

"There is only one last move left, [Hide the Sky], the second level of the Solitary Martial Arts Sequence. I am only one step away."

Li Jun slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, and said to himself: "Since I have already deposed an Immortal Lord, I don't mind deposing another one. I just hope that I won't be asked to depose another Confucian Lord in the end."

"Or have you waited so long just to have a knife hanging over your head to stop you from making the wrong move again?"
