Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1036: Landing in Tai'an
In Tai'an City, Cao Changqing went from being a Confucianist to being a tyrant, and his strength has become invincible in the world.

Zhao Xuansu, a Taoist master who returned to simplicity and nature and was almost able to ascend to heaven, was unable to escape when he met Ao Xiao Hongchen, who had not yet entered the immortal realm on earth.

Now, these immortals from Mount Longhu, who had attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven in unknown years, were restricted by the many rules and regulations that came to the human world. When they met Cao Changqing, who was at the peak of his powers, it was inevitable that they would be killed.

As soon as Cao Changqing's black and white pieces fell, the black piece was destroyed and the white piece was cut off, and everything turned into ashes.

The portraits hanging on the walls of the Tongtian Pavilion in the Imperial Observatory are still intact, but many of the characters in the pictures have disappeared.

The great immortals who ascended to heaven from Mount Longhu in the past generations stayed in the human world.

Even the immortal who was highly expected failed to stop Cao Changqing.

Cao Changqing looked in the direction of the Imperial Observatory and placed two more moves.

Destroy everything in the Imperial Observatory.

When the two black and white pieces fell, all the 1,000 Fulong soldiers, who were related to the fortune of Liyang Dynasty, were killed.

As soon as one piece fell, the inscriptions on the gate of the Chinese Imperial Academy in Tai'an City collapsed into pieces.

As the black and white on the chessboard moved vertically and horizontally, places in Tai'an City that symbolized the fortune of the Liyang Dynasty were destroyed one after another.

This Confucian sage of the Great Chu finally spoke out the words that had been buried in his heart for more than a decade.

"The world says that you are the one who caused the fall of the Chu State. I, Cao Changqing, will not agree to that!"

After Cao Changqing arrived at the city, he raised his arm high for the first time, then placed a piece heavily on the chessboard!
The clouds rolled and fell together. The sky over the Central Plains was a hundred feet low.

More than two hundred pieces fell, and Cao Changqing, who had only one piece left, shot it out.

The chess piece moved from south to north, and after entering the city, it rushed straight along the long imperial road, smashing the gates of the imperial city, the palace city, and the Wuying Palace.

It was not until the dragon throne that had been sat on by successive emperors of Liyang was smashed to pieces and the true dragon emperor hiding in the deep palace was shattered that the chess piece was reduced to dust.

From Confucianism to hegemony, one can possess invincible combat power and an unscrupulous style of doing things.

But in the end, your luck will backfire.

In the end, Cao Guanzi, Cao Qingyi and his chessboard disappeared between heaven and earth.

Before his death, he dispersed his good fortune into Guangling Road.

At the same time as a major earthquake struck the Liyang court due to the death of the emperor, major changes also occurred in Beiliang.

Chen Zhibao fled to Northern Liang and went south to Sichuan.

Dian Xiongchu and Wei Fucheng, two of the "Four Teeth of Northern Liang", followed Chen Zhibao out of Liang and into Shu without a single soldier.

The King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao, cleaned out a large number of Beiliang troops who supported Chen Zhibao and wanted to kill Xu Fengnian in Beimang and Tiemenguan.

Among them were his two adopted sons, Yao Jian and Ye Xi.

Xu Fengnian received this news when he was on his way back to Beiliang with his troops.

After arranging the troops to be stationed, Qingniao reported to Xu Fengnian: "Sir, we will reach Liangzhou City in two more days."

"Well, I understand." Xu Fengnian replied thoughtfully. Qingniao asked, "How do you want to deal with yourself in Beiliang in the future, my lord?"

Xu Fengnian said: "Prince Yan used Cao Changqing's power to break the originally balanced situation. Fortunately, Li Yang has not reached the end of his rope yet, and there is Zhang Julu, the white jade pillar that supports the sky. I wonder how long it will take for the world to be truly peaceful?"

At this time, a voice came in, "It is indeed a blessing for the world that Prince Beiliang can have such an idea."

Xu Fengnian obviously didn't expect this person to come again, "Well, why are you here?"

The person who showed up was none other than Yi Ye Shu, who had ended the cause and effect of Bei Liang at the Iron Gate. "It seems that the prince is very surprised that I am here."

Xu Fengnian said dissatisfiedly: "Since you call me the Prince of Beiliang, then what are you doing here?"

Yi Ye Shu replied: "Of course I came here for the people of Beiliang."

Xu Fengnian refused, "There are people slaughtering the people of Beiliang, but I am here, and I have 300,000 Beiliang cavalry. There is no need for you, a hermit master, to take action."

Facing Xu Fengnian's dissatisfaction, Yi Ye Shu calmly replied: "My Lord, do you have a grudge against me because of what Prince Yan did?"

Xu Fengnian asked back: "Do you dare to say that he is not you?"

Yi Ye Shu explained the relationship between him and King Yan, "Since the split, what he does is beyond my control. Likewise, what I do is beyond his control."

Xu Fengnian asked: "Then why don't you clean up the mess yourself?"

Yi Ye Shu sighed and said, "If only it were that simple. As you can see, King Yan's mind is top-notch, and he has no scruples when it comes to planning and strategizing. He knows me, just as I know him. If I fail to hit the target with one strike, the consequences will be endless. Besides, we made an agreement that day that we would not attack each other."

Xu Fengnian said: "You think too highly of me, and want me to get rid of King Yan."

Yi Ye Shu said, "Not really. After the battle at Tiemenguan, Beiliang is no longer valuable in the eyes of King Yan and he is no longer interested in it. I came here to tell you something."

"What's the matter?"

Yi Ye Shu asked, "I wonder if the prince knows this person called Xie Guanying."

Xu Fengnian replied, "He is the chief priest of Shangyin Academy, a disciple of Liyang State Master Qi Yanglong, and was once known as "Xie in the North and Li in the South" together with Master."

Yi Ye Shu added: "At the same time, he is also the father of Nangong Pushe."

Xu Fengnian was not surprised by this. "Everything is just as Master expected. Fox-faced man's biological father is him. Since he became famous together with Master, we haven't heard of him since then. Are you talking about him because he was born?"

Yi Ye Shu did not answer the question directly, but continued to ask: "My Lord, aren't you curious about how Chen Zhibao entered the Three Saints Realm?"

Xu Fengnian understood what he meant, "You mean, he is the one behind Chen Zhibao's plan."

"That's right." Yi Ye Shu recounted Xie Guanying's past. "Looking back to the past, Xie Guanying and Li Yishan were both favored by heaven, and were known as the Northern Li and the Southern Xie. The two of them hit it off and shared the world's opinions. Especially Xie Guanying, who was proficient in prophecies, revealed the secrets of heaven, and thus caused a terrible disaster. Li Yishan came from a poor family, had talent but no background, and should have been the first to die. Unexpectedly, he was appreciated by Xu Xiao and became a counselor of Beiliang, thus avoiding the storm. On the contrary, he, who came from a powerful family, ended up being deserted by his friends and relatives. Not only was he regarded as a man to be killed by the Wudi City of the East Sea, but even the Queen of Beimang hated him and did not hesitate to let Tuoba Bodhisattva sneak into Liyang to assassinate him. He had no choice but to hide his name and live in seclusion in the court. Since then, there is no more flying fish of the Xie family hoping to make a leap to the dragon gate, but only Mr. Xie of Tai'an City who watches the world with cold eyes."

Xu Fengnian asked: "Since he decided to watch from the sidelines, why did he choose to help Chen Zhibao?"

Yi Ye Shu sighed and said, "Alas, what a pity! Xie Guanying is a great man of his generation. How could he be willing to let himself be buried like this? Previously, when Zhao Huangchao of Difei Mountain raised an evil dragon and suppressed the destiny of Beiliang, he helped. However, this situation has become a failure due to the intervention of Jian Zi Xianji. Zhao Huangchao's destiny has backfired. It seems that he will soon be out of retreat."
