I play the role of Jiajing in Zongwu: What crime have I committed?

Uh? ? ?

What the hell?

How come historical figures are appearing, and one of them even became Li Mu's top disciple?

There's no such character in the Qin's Moon anime!

Then he suddenly remembered something.

Meng Zhi is Li Mu's disciple!

So, isn't this fierce-looking Sima Shang right in front of us Meng Zhi's senior brother?

Thinking of this, Zhu Houcong stood up and said affectionately.

"So it's Mr. Sima."

"I have often heard Meng Zhi speak highly of Master Sima's brilliance; seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

"We're all family. Mr. Sima, you've come from afar, why didn't you inform us beforehand?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the imperial guards surrounding Sima Shang to retreat.

Someone rebuked Yan Song.

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly prepare seats! How can we neglect such a distinguished guest as Mr. Sima?"

Chapter 170 Zhuo Dingfeng and Xia Jiang both suffer defeats.

"No need."

Sima Shang remained completely still, not even lifting his eyelids.

"I have come today to inquire about one matter."

He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing straight at Zhu Houcong.

"May I ask Your Majesty, has there been any progress in the case of my junior brother Meng Zhi?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong's smile froze instantly.

Meng Zhi was murdered by him, so how could it be found out?

He then sighed softly and said, "To be honest, Mr. Sima, there has indeed been no substantial progress in the case of Meng Qing's murder."

"snort!"

Sima Shang took two steps forward and stomped heavily on the ground, causing the bluestone floor to crack with spiderweb-like patterns.

"Junior Brother Meng Zhi risked his life for the Great Liang, only to meet a tragic end where his body was never recovered."

"And this is how your Great Liang court investigates cases?"

"Does Your Majesty think that with these two Grandmasters protecting you, you can rest easy now?"

"Is that why you're unwilling to put your heart and soul into investigating my junior brother's case?"

"presumptuous!"

Zhuo Dingfeng couldn't help but shout angrily after hearing this.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to His Majesty? Are you tired of living?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Shang laughed loudly, looking at Zhuo Dingfeng with disdain.

"Back then, even the entire Luo Wang organization couldn't take a life from that family. You think you can?"

As he spoke, he slowly drew the ancient sword from his waist, and the sword emitted a sound like a dragon's roar as it was drawn from its sheath.

"I have come today to make Your Majesty understand."

Sima Shang pointed his sword at Zhu Houcong.

"The gap between Grandmasters is greater than the gap between a First-Rank Grandmaster and a Grandmaster."

"These worthless mortals that Your Majesty relies on are nothing but a joke in the face of true masters."

"I hope Your Majesty will investigate the case thoroughly and give me an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong's face darkened completely; he now wished he could tear Sima Shang to pieces.

This person dared to come here and swagger around while Xiaomeng was away from the capital.

They're taking advantage of the fact that my Great Liang doesn't have any top-tier experts.

As for himself, Zhu Qi is now an advisor to the Prince Yu's mansion, so he cannot be easily moved.

Zhuque has confirmed Xie Yu's death and is on her way back.

Xuanwu followed behind Xie Bi and the other two, not in the capital.

He could only use two puppets, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger.

So he secretly controlled the Azure Dragon and White Tiger to rush towards the training ground.

This person's strength is such that even if the Azure Dragon and White Tiger joined forces, they probably couldn't defeat him.

Only with the addition of Zhuo Dingfeng and Xia Jiang.

It takes four people working together.

"Arrogant."

Zhuo Dingfeng was now furious and turned around to kneel on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to execute this scoundrel!"

Zhu Houcong's face was ashen. Since Zhuo Dingfeng was willing to fight, it would be a good opportunity to buy time.

He nodded slightly and said, "Granted. Please be careful, my dear minister."

Zhuo Dingfeng clasped his hands in acceptance of the order, and the next second, his figure suddenly appeared in the arena.

A visible vortex of dark blue true energy had already gathered around his body.

"I have long wished to experience the swordsmanship passed down from Lord Wu'an."

The next second, the sword light in front of Zhuo Dingfeng was like water.

The entire training ground was instantly enveloped in a chilling, bone-piercing sword light.

"The Moon Reflected in the Heavenly Spring!"

With a clear shout, Zhuo Dingfeng's figure suddenly transformed into a blur as he stabbed towards Sima Shang.

This move is a unique skill in the Tianquan Sword Technique.

However, Sima Shang merely snorted in response to Zhuo Dingfeng's attack.

The iron sword in his hand suddenly transformed into a streak of black light.

With a casual horizontal slash, the sword's momentum was like a raging wave crashing against the shore, completely shattering Zhuo Dingfeng's sword energy.

clang!

The two swords clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

Zhuo Dingfeng felt an overwhelming force, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open.

He took five steps back, his gaze towards Sima Shang growing even more serious.

"Fancy and overly elaborate."

Sima Shang burst into wild laughter.

"Today I will show you the unparalleled swordsmanship that my master comprehended during his battle against the Xiongnu."

"Defeat the Enemy - Bloodbath on All Sides."

He shouted out six words, and the ancient sword in his hand, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, slashed down at Zhuo Dingfeng.

Zhuo Dingfeng's eyes widened in fury, and he hurriedly drew his sword to block.

boom!

Everyone on the sidelines turned pale.

"Xia Jiang, go help him."

Zhu Houcong frowned and immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

Xia Jiang drew his longsword instantly, its momentum like a cascading silver river, aiming straight for Sima Shang's heart.

"Good timing."

Sima Shang snorted coldly and advanced instead of retreating.

The sword light struck first, even though it was delayed.

In an instant, two figures passed each other, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Pfft!

A burst of blood suddenly erupted from Xia Jiang's chest, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily more than ten feet away.

Zhu Houcong frowned upon seeing this.

Is this old guy letting the water out?

What does he want to do?

At this moment, Zhuo Dingfeng finally caught his breath and attacked Sima Shang again.

The long sword in his hand poured out like a cold spring, and wherever the sword energy passed, the ground cracked inch by inch.

However, Sima Shang merely gave a cold laugh.

The ancient sword in his hand trembled violently, and the Breaking the Enemy Sword Technique once again met the attack head-on.

clang!clang!clang!

Sima Shang's swordplay was expansive and powerful, each strike like a thousand troops charging forward, carrying the aura of battlefield iron and blood.

It directly shattered Zhuo Dingfeng's Heavenly Spring Sword Technique.

"The Sword of Destruction, capable of cleaving mountains and rivers!"

The next second, he let out a low shout, and the sword suddenly turned.

In an instant, a blood-red sword beam condensed in mid-air and slashed down.

Zhuo Dingfeng's pupils contracted sharply, and he hurriedly pushed all his true energy to its limit.

boom!

There was a loud noise.

The sword pierced flesh, and blood splattered.

Zhuo Dingfeng was knocked unconscious by the blow.

"Daddy!"

Zhuo Qingyao rushed towards Zhuo Dingfeng.

Zhu Houcong's face darkened considerably upon seeing this scene.

He never expected that Zhuo Dingfeng would be so easily defeated by Sima Shang.

Sima Shang slowly sheathed his sword, his gaze sweeping across the entire scene before finally settling on Zhu Houcong.

"Your Majesty, do you now clearly see the difference between Grandmasters?"

Zhu Houcong had not yet had a chance to speak.

At this moment, Xia Jiang, who was standing to the side, clutched his chest and staggered to his feet.

He suddenly said urgently.

"Your Majesty, please summon the four Grandmasters of the Eastern Depot immediately. This humble servant alone is no match for this man."

These words immediately caused a stir in the training ground.
