Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 437 Hong Yi: This commoner denounces Hong Xuanji!

The Great Zhou Emperor looked at Hong Xuanji with a fierce gaze.

At this moment, Hong Xuanji remained dignified and fearless, staring steadily at the Great Zhou Emperor.

Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou was a shrewd man. He and Yang Pan had just established a partnership to use Yang Pan's son Yang An's Panhuang Life Sword to break through the Middle Thousand Worlds, search for the Yang God's thoughts, and even destroy the Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace to regain control of the Creation Ship, etc. However, all these plans had just been finalized when this perfunctory banquet caused such a huge setback.

"Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Gu Qing's gaze was playful.

"I was indeed a great emperor in the past."

Emperor Taizu of Great Zhou looked at Gu Qing and bowed deeply. In this world, Gu Qing was the strongest. He had experienced the power of the ancient families in the ninety-nine states and the Great Zen Temple of the three holy lands. Although Emperor Taizu of Great Zhou was currently strong, he was still far inferior to the three holy lands and the ancient families. Therefore, Emperor Taizu of Great Zhou humbly submitted and said, "But now, I am just a subject of the Great Tang."

The fact that a founding emperor of a previous dynasty has been reduced to a subject in this dynasty is something that brings great honor to the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I hereby denounce the Great Zhou Emperor once again!"

Hong Xuanji stood at the front, relentlessly attacking the Great Zhou Emperor, saying, "This Great Zhou Emperor bowed down to the Tang Dynasty, but secretly he contacted the secret guards of the Great Qian Dynasty for help. They joined forces to overthrow the Tang Dynasty!"

Hong Xuanji's audacious betrayal directly cut off the Great Zhou Emperor's path to survival, causing the Great Zhou Emperor to roar in anger, his soul transforming into thoughts that rushed towards Hong Xuanji.

Hong Xuanji stood still, calm and composed. He rotated his hands, and his blood energy surged through the heavens and earth like smoke. The divine soul power of the Great Zhou Emperor was blocked by the blood energy. Then, Hong Xuanji formed his hands into hammers and circulated the power of the universe. The vast world was like a huge vortex, and the Great Zhou Emperor's thoughts and killing intent were within this vortex.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Hong Xuanji's two punches came out fiercely, causing the thoughts of the Great Zhou Emperor to flee in all directions.

When a Martial Saint-level figure makes a move, the air explodes with a piercing sound, and the arrow has a trail of light. It can kill someone from a thousand paces away. Now, at this banquet, Hong Xuanji's sudden outburst caused the void to tremble, and the hearts of those around him pounded like drums.

"Hong Xuanji, don't be too smug!"

With a fierce roar, the magic artifact deep within his soul began to operate, and the scattered thoughts gathered together again. In the dark clouds, a throne seemed to appear, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood below, and piles of white bones. Now that the baleful aura was concentrated, the Great Zhou Emperor slammed into Hong Xuanji.

"Crash..."

Like a pillar of heaven collapsing, a thunderous roar echoed through the air.

While the Great Zhou Emperor was still standing in place, Hong Xuanji had already retreated repeatedly. When he reached Gu Qing's seat, he suddenly stopped and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hong Xuanji, you're still too green!"

With a fierce roar, the Great Zhou Emperor rode the Avici Throne and fled towards the horizon.

"The Wheel of Life and Death in All Heavens!"

Hong Xuanji stepped forward, and a huge vortex appeared in the sky. Everything in the world was controlled by this vortex, and wherever Hong Xuanji's fists struck, thunder roared. It seemed that he had caught the traces of the Great Zhou Emperor and was fighting fiercely in the sky.

But with a thunderous roar, the vortex in the sky was torn apart, and the Great Ancestor of Zhou transformed into a beam of light, flying towards the horizon.

"Even the Dream God Machine can't kill me!"

Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty shouted sternly.

The Supreme Dao oversees the world. Once an emperor becomes a ghost immortal, the Supreme Dao will assassinate him. The founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also a ghost immortal, and a ghost immortal undergoing the sixth level of lightning tribulation. Even when Meng Shenji relentlessly pursued him, the founding emperor managed to escape. Escaping Chang'an now would be no problem for him. A phantom image, a giant hand, seemed to appear in the air.

Everything in the world seemed like a dream, as if everything just now was a rehearsal. The Great Zhou Emperor, who had just flown away, reappeared before everyone, standing blankly in front of Gu Qing.

This scene is just like when the Monkey King Kong was captured and played with by the Emperor of Immortality.

Gu Qing suddenly stopped, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Those that Meng Shenji can't kill, I will!"

Gu Qing waved his hand casually.

Pale golden flames appeared on the body of the Great Zhou Emperor, burning into his body. Hollows began to appear on his body, and his body gradually faded away as it burned.

"Clang!"

The throne of the Great Zhou Emperor was shrunk and fell.

This renowned ghost immortal, who had lived for over three hundred years, was killed by Gu Qing with a single gesture simply because he had come near Gu Qing.
"Hong Xuanji".

Gu Qing toyed with the Avici Hell statue in his hand and said, "What would you like me to reward you with?"

At this banquet, Hong Xuanji first established a positive image, and then fought against the Great Zhou Emperor, becoming a model of loyalty. Gu Qing defeated the Great Zhou Emperor, so Hong Xuanji should also be rewarded.

Hong Xuanji reached into his sleeve, took out a scroll, and handed it to Gu Qing, saying humbly, "I have worked hard for the past thirty years, studying at home, and have completed a book called 'Li Jing'. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

"The ruler should act as a ruler, the minister as a minister, the father as a father, and the son as a son."

Gu Qing turned the page of the book and softly recited the first sentence, making it clear to everyone present. Then, he slightly raised his eyes, looked at Hong Xuanji, and praised, "My dear minister, do you aspire to become the foremost teacher of our time, and..."

Listening to Gu Qing's comments from the crowd, Hong Yi recalled Gu Qing's comments in the "Martial Arts Classic" and knew that everything the emperor said was not what he really meant. When he heard that Gu Qing really wanted to reward Hong Xuanji, Hong Yi suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject wants to accuse Hong Xuanji of stealing his best friend's wife!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience, with people whispering and pointing at Hong Xuanji.

At this moment, the concepts of ruler and minister, father and son in Hong Xuanji's "Li Jing" and the so-called Neo-Confucianism all became a joke.

After all, this logic is untenable from the start. Sons don't support their fathers, and then there's the shocking fact that Hong Xuanji stole his best friend's wife.

“Hong Yi…”

Hong Xuanji stared intently at Hong Yi.

At this moment, Hong Yi remained neither arrogant nor humble, displaying the same imposing demeanor described in the Martial Arts Manual, and said, "Hong Xuanji, you are shameless! Every time Yan Zhenzong comes to our residence, you call him your good brother, but in private you have an ambiguous relationship with Zhao Feier. You should know that Zhao Feier is..."

Hong Yi made the revelations there.

Hong Xuanji's face grew increasingly dark. With all this happening today, his dream of becoming the most outstanding philosopher among the Hundred Schools of Thought had been completely shattered, and all of this was due to his son's rebellion.

"Hong Xuanji!"

At this moment, Gu Qing shouted sharply, "You stole Yan Zhenzong's wife, didn't you?"

Hong Xuanji remained silent.
