Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 119 The Two Good Brothers: The Great General and Yang Sikong

The next day, after Ji Wuye, whose beard had been shaved, went to court, the court officials all looked curiously at the general who seemed to have become much younger.

Meeting the probing and curious gazes, Ji Wuye's forehead wrinkles deepened, and his expression grew even more sour.

For so many years, since he became a great general, no one has ever mocked or humiliated him like this.

Seeing Ji Wuye's almost cannibalistic expression, the court officials, fearing his power, dared not show anything.

However, there was one exception among these court officials: Yang Che, the instigator.

"General, you look great today, as if you've become ten years younger." As the Minister of Works, Yang Che's position in the court was second only to the Chancellor Zhang Kaidi, so he was very close to Ji Wuye. It was perfectly appropriate for him to say this, since he could see Ji Wuye clearly from his position.

Zi Nu's swordsmanship was excellent, swift as lightning. With a single stroke, she shaved Ji Wuye's upper lip clean, leaving not a single hair.

Ji Wuye glanced coldly at Yang Che. Although Yang Che had already risen to the rank of Minister of Works, Ji Wuye still didn't take him seriously. A young man who had nothing to offer besides his official position was not worthy of being his opponent.

Yang Che was not surprised by this, but he hadn't finished speaking. Although last night's fun was exciting, there were still follow-ups to be completed, and Yang Che was not about to let them go.

"Without a beard, he certainly looks younger, but he's lost some of his majesty. What a pity, what a pity." Yang Che said, his expression filled with regret. Ji Wuye stared intently at Yang Che. Through Lady Mingzhu's intelligence, Ji Wuye was certain that the reason Yang Che was pushed forward by King Han was to cultivate a force in the court that could rival him.

Ji Wuye scoffed at this, dismissing it as Han Wang An's wishful thinking. He believed that Han Wang An's power was not solely due to his position as a general, but also because of the support of the Nightfall organization.

His power comes from his own strength, not from the position of Grand General. Does King Han really think that appointing Yang Che as Minister of Works will restrain him?

What made Ji Wuye even chuckle was that Yang Che didn't even have a shred of self-awareness and actually thought he had the strength to challenge him.

Because of the assassin's bad mood last night, Ji Wuye was determined not to tolerate Yang Che's provocation any longer. He took a step forward and, having cultivated at the Innate Realm for more than 20 years, released his aura without reservation, pressing down on Yang Che.

If a master of innate cultivation wants to advance further, he must cultivate his own intention. Only a master of innate cultivation who has cultivated his intention can be considered to have truly entered the realm. On this basis, if he can combine his intention with his essence, energy and spirit and transform it into momentum, he can transform into a top-level master among innate masters. If he can further transform momentum into reality and achieve a domain, he can transform into a grandmaster.

Ji Wuye had already cultivated to the Innate Realm twenty years ago. In the past twenty years, he has almost reached the peak of the Innate Realm. Moreover, he has cultivated the strongest military force. When he uses it at full power, he can subdue the enemy without fighting and destroy the opponent's will without lifting a finger.

Yang Che, a young man not even twenty years old, even if he had studied at the Jixia Academy, how strong could he be? Ji Wuye was very confident that under his pressure, Yang Che would show his ugly side.

However, what happened next made Ji Wuye doubt his own strength.

Yang Che stood there, seemingly oblivious to the mental pressure sweeping in from all directions, a mocking smile on his lips.

Ji Wuye was slightly startled and looked intently at Yang Che, only to see a strand of long hair at Yang Che's temple moving without wind. He even began to doubt whether he had made a move.

But how could this be? Shocked, Ji Wuye intensified his attack, unleashing his full power without reservation as he suppressed Yang Che.

But Yang Che stood there, motionless. Ji Wuye's unparalleled and powerful aura, honed through countless battles, vanished the moment he approached Yang Che, like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.

Ji Wuye focused his mind and sensed that Yang Che was also surrounded by a layer of aura. That aura was strange; it was not powerful, nor did it have strong killing intent or fighting spirit. It was like a spring breeze. He did not seem like a powerful martial artist, but rather like a disciple of a great master who had read many classics.

This made Ji Wuye think of a possibility: it is said that among the Hundred Schools of Thought, there was a legendary figure who did not practice martial arts, but only studied. In one day, he had an epiphany and entered the Dao through spiritual means, and could step into the realm of a grandmaster in one fell swoop.

Could Yang Che also be —

When Ji Wuye considered this possibility, he couldn't help but feel fear. A Grandmaster was not someone he could easily provoke; they were beings beyond the control of the authorities, and worldly rules could no longer restrain them.

No, impossible. In an instant, Ji Wuye rejected his own guess. In the past five hundred years, there have been no more than five people who have achieved enlightenment and advanced from mortal to the Grandmaster realm. Those few were all renowned figures who founded their own schools of thought and were considered founders and ancestors. What makes Yang Che think he can?

Ji Wuye calmed his mind, gathered his true energy, and concentrated his spirit, transforming it into an even more powerful attack.

In contrast, Yang Che remained calm and composed, a faint yet ever-flowing aura emanating from his body, rendering Ji Wuye's attack ineffective.

"General, I'm not a beauty, why are you looking at me like that?" Yang Che said.

Yang Che's words sent chills down Ji Wuye's spine. He had already exerted all his strength, yet Yang Che was still able to speak. Didn't this mean that Yang Che had only used six or seven tenths of his strength to deal with his attack?

No, no, perhaps it's just that his martial arts are too special, allowing him to speak while channeling his energy. In an instant, Ji Wuye reached a new conclusion.

"I saw that Yang Sikong was a young hero, so I took a few more glances at him, but I didn't expect that Yang Sikong would misunderstand me." Ji Wuye withdrew his attack and said jokingly.

"The General's actions are indeed easy to misunderstand," Yang Che said with a smile.

He knew that Ji Wuye had misjudged his strength. Ji Wuye's so-called use of force to suppress others was completely useless against Yang Che, because the Heavenly Demon Strategy existed in Yang Che's soul, which made Yang Che naturally have extremely high resistance to mental attacks.

"I was being presumptuous. How about this, since Minister Yang just mentioned beauties, I'll send him a few beauties, shall I?" Ji Wuye laughed heartily, though he was deeply wary of Yang Che.

It seems that the Tide Demoness failed to truly ascertain his true strength.

"I've long heard that the General's mansion is full of beauties. If the General is really willing to give me a few, I, Yang Che, will be eternally grateful." Yang Che was also very happy.

Who can complain about having too many beautiful women?

You should know that his mansion is almost finished being renovated, and he will need many people to serve him in the future.

"After court, Minister Yang can come back to the General's Mansion with me. Whichever one you fancy, I'll send it to you," Ji Wuye said generously. He subconsciously reached for his beard, but when he touched his upper lip, he found it bare. His expression stiffened slightly, but he still managed to put his hand down naturally.

"Thank you so much, General. If you ever need Yang Che's help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

The surrounding courtiers stared in bewilderment at the scene before them. What had happened? Just moments ago, they were at each other's throats, frightening them into avoiding each other. How could they have made up so quickly, and not only that, but the courtiers were even offering each other beautiful women.

This Minister Yang is truly unfathomable!
