Zongwu: After reading my diary, my master's wife collapsed

"Okay, then tell me, who is the other party? What martial arts does he use?" An Yunshan asked in detail.

"I don't know who that person is. I originally thought he was the evil spirit Li Ruohai from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. After all, he looked very good. But later, when I saw his martial arts, I was sure that he was not Li Ruohai. As for that person's martial arts, he can communicate with the power of heaven and earth just like a great master of celestial phenomena when he reaches the Profound Realm. However, the martial arts he performs are related to wind, and his speed and body movements are extremely fast. By the way, he also performed a martial arts method that can release force."

"He has a handsome appearance, is at the Profound Finger Realm, and can communicate with the power of heaven and earth? And is he related to the wind? And his speed and body movements are extremely fast?" An Yunshan frowned and thought. He tried to compare the person Zhuge Zhengwo was talking about with the people he knew.

However, An Yunshan discovered that if it was just one or two of the conditions, he could barely match one or two based on the people in his memory, but when all the conditions were added together, he could not find the corresponding people.

"Brother An, do you have any candidates? I suspect he might be from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, but I looked up the great masters of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty and couldn't find a suitable one. At first I thought he was Li Ruohai because he looks really good. Even compared with Li Ruohai, he would not be inferior. You know, Li Ruohai is the most handsome man in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty." Zhuge Zhengwo deliberately emphasized Ye Xiu's appearance in order to help An Yunshan find a suitable target.

An Yunshan frowned even more tightly.

A very handsome Grandmaster of the Profound Finger Realm? As for the simple handsome appearance, he knew a lot, even some who were comparable to the evil spirit Li Ruohai. However, the Grandmaster of the Profound Finger Realm was also good at wind-related martial arts and light-weight body movements.

"There is a woman beside that man. She is a Grandmaster who has just entered the Vajra Realm. The woman calls herself Lian Nishang. As for Lian Nishang, there is a woman named Lian Nishang in the Ming Kingdom. She is called Jade Rakshasa."

"Ming Dynasty? Lian Nishang? Jade Rakshasa?" An Yunshan looked at Zhuge Zhengwo again. He even suspected that Zhuge Zhengwo was fooling him.

Because An Yunshan thought that if the Grand Master of the Profound Realm mentioned by Zhuge Zhengwo existed, he suspected that the other party might be from the Tang Dynasty. But Zhuge Zhengwo said that the other party was from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and now Zhuge Zhengwo said that a woman was from the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, there are only three countries. Although the Tang Dynasty is An Yunshan's guess, An Yunshan suspects that if Zhuge Zheng continues to talk, more countries may be involved.

"Brother An, we can start the investigation from Lian Nishang--" Zhuge Zhengwo said.

"Zhuge Zhengwo, I will investigate this matter myself. But now, there is one thing I need your cooperation on." An Yunshan said to Zhuge Zhengwo.

"I wonder if Brother An has anything to cooperate with me on?" Zhuge Zhengwo looked at An Yunshan curiously.

"In case there are eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall, please come forward." An Yunshan said to Zhuge Zhengwo.

Zhuge Zheng was a little curious and didn't understand what An Yunshan wanted to say, but he still stood up and walked in front of An Yunshan. The two were only separated by a fence.

"Brother An——"

At this moment, An Yunshan suddenly grabbed Zhuge Zhengwo's arm.

"Brother An, what are you going to do?" Zhuge Zhengwo originally wanted to ask An Yunshan why he grabbed his hand, but the next moment Zhuge Zhengwo realized that the true energy in his body was rapidly dissipating, or to be more precise, it was being quickly absorbed by An Yunshan.

"Zhuge Zhengwo, you killed my son and yet you still want to make excuses. You should take your skills as the price for lying." An Yunshan looked at Zhuge Zhengwo coldly.

"An Yunshan, you, you actually practice this kind of evil skills?" Zhuge Zhengwo glared at An Yunshan. He wanted to break free from An Yunshan's hand first, but as his true energy quickly dissipated, he felt weak in his body. He had no strength to break free and could only watch his true energy being sucked away by An Yunshan bit by bit.

Zhuge Zhengwo's cultivation level was originally at the peak of the Finger Profound Realm, but at this time it was rapidly declining. In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level from the peak of the Finger Profound Realm became the late Finger Profound Realm, then the middle Finger Profound Realm, the early Finger Profound Realm, and soon he even fell out of the Finger Profound Realm and became a grandmaster of the Vajra Realm.

Even so, his cultivation was still fading as fast as flowing water.

Unlike Zhuge Zhengwo, An Yunshan's aura was constantly getting stronger and stronger.

“An Yunshan——” Zhuge Zhengwo growled while gritting his teeth. At this moment he suddenly remembered what Ye Xiu had said to him before he transformed into a tornado and left An Mansion, saying that he would be in trouble.

Zhuge Zhengwo was almost certain that the trouble Ye Xiu was talking about might be this.

Snapped--

The true energy in Zhuge Zhengwo's body was completely sucked away by An Yunshan. After not a drop was left in him, An Yunshan let go of the arm that was holding Zhuge Zhengwo. Zhuge Zhengwo staggered and fell directly to the ground.

An Yunshan looked down at Zhuge Zhengwo with a sneer on his face: "Zhuge Zhengwo, if you are not the murderer of my son, I advise you to tell me everything honestly, so that I can spare your life. Otherwise, your end will definitely be very miserable." After saying that, An Yunshan turned around and left without waiting for Zhuge Zhengwo to answer.

An Yunshan absorbed all of Zhuge Zhengwo's cultivation, but the next step is to refine it well so that it can be transformed into his own cultivation.

Watching An Yunshan leave, Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this time, Zhuge Zhengwo's hair became a little dry and white, and even there were some wrinkles on his face. In just a short while, Zhuge Zhengwo looked many years older.

"An Yunshan actually practices such evil skills. I'm afraid he has bigger plans. So, is that man good or bad?" Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't help but start thinking about Ye Xiu again.

He was wondering whether Ye Xiu was a good person or a bad person. Was Ye Xiu an accomplice of An Yunshan when he was in An Mansion? Or was he an enemy of An Yunshan? However, when he mentioned Ye Xiu just now, An Yunshan didn't seem to know him, so it was more likely that he was An Yunshan's enemy?

Zhuge Zheng was a little regretful, regretting that he was too reckless at the time. He felt that he should have given it more consideration at that time.

Zhuge Zheng: I now hope that Wuqing and Tieshou can come to Tianlao to see him as soon as possible, so that he can tell Wuqing about An Yunshan's situation, and then let Wuqing go to find that person. Maybe that person is the key to dealing with An Yunshan who has practiced evil skills.

Zhuge Zheng, in my opinion, may be the key to dealing with An Yunshan, Ye Xiu. He already knows the news of An Yunshan's return.

"An Yunshan is back." Ruyan said to Ye Xiu.

"An Yunshan is back. Well, he came back pretty quickly. I wonder how Zhuge Zhengwo is doing now." Ye Xiu thought of Zhuge Zhengwo, and a bit of gloating appeared on his face.

"Zhuge Zhengwo? After he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, he was quite honest. He stayed in the prison quietly every day, without crying or making a fuss. He looked quite quiet." Ruyan said.

"He was quiet before, but that may not be the case after An Yunshan comes back." Ye Xiu sneered. He was just waiting to hear the news that Zhuge Zhengwo was crippled by An Yunshan.

Because of his ruthlessness, Ye Xiu couldn't do anything to Zhuge Zhengwo, but it was also good for him to watch Zhuge Zhengwo being destroyed by An Yunshan coldly. He would also feel refreshed physically and mentally.

Moreover, Zhuge Zhengwo is now imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Maybe the emperor of the Song Dynasty will die at the hands of An Yunshan. In this case, the ruthless revenge can be said to have been taken.

Well, kill two birds with one stone!

Chapter 282 Expansion

Although Ye Xiu never returned after leaving the capital, he was still very well-informed about the news in the capital.

Ruyan and Ji Yaohua would often pass messages to Ye Xiu, and almost every move of An Yunshan was under Ye Xiu's control.

The main reason was that An Yunshan's plan required Ruyan, a master of disguise, so naturally there was no way to hide his plan from Ruyan.

If Ruyan knew it, Ye Xiu would naturally know it too.

This includes the fact that Zhuge Zhengwo was crippled by An Yunshan and turned into a useless person.

When Ye Xiu heard the news, he was quite happy.

Yes, Zhuge Zhengwo is a good person, and he is also a ruthless uncle, but who made him target Ye Xiu? Since he targeted Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu's impression of him would naturally not be very good. Even if he knew that Zhuge Zhengwo would be crippled by An Yunshan, he would not help Zhuge Zhengwo.

The removal of Zhuge Zhengwo was just the beginning of it all.

After deposing Zhuge Zhengwo, An Yunshan took a series of actions to gradually eliminate some forces within the court of the Song Dynasty.

In the end, the only force left in the court was the one headed by Cai Jing, and Cai Jing had long been under the control of An Yunshan.

This also means that the entire imperial court no longer has the power to resist Anyunshan.

So, Ruyan told Ye Xiu that An Yunshan was going to become the emperor and control the Song Dynasty.

Even An Yunshan was full of confidence this time, and even began to become arrogant. He actually asked Zhuge Zhengwo, whose martial arts had been abolished, to attend the ceremony of the emperor's abdication.

It is indeed abdication.

An Yunshan had already killed the real emperor, and then asked Ruyan to disguise herself as the emperor, preparing to have Ruyan abdicate the throne to An Yunshan in the name of the emperor.

Although it was absurd in itself that the emperor would abdicate the throne to a businessman, no matter what, at least there was an excuse on the surface.

With the support of a group of officials headed by Cai Jing, An Yunshan was able to barely secure the throne.

Of course, this is under very reluctant circumstances, and even many forces within the Song Dynasty may become chaotic because of this. Even some generals on the border, or some princes or important officials from other places may rise up to attack Anyunshan.

But as long as An Yunshan can suppress all the rebellious forces in the future, he will be able to secure his position as emperor.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that An Yunshan can successfully inherit the throne and become the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

As for this, Ye Xiu had been watching coldly from the sidelines, watching all these scenes happen.

Of course, if Ye Xiu actually wanted to stop it, it would be possible, but it would be difficult because Ye Xiu’s strength might not guarantee victory against An Yunshan. If he wanted to deal with An Yunshan safely, Ye Xiu needed to contact many forces in the capital and establish a common alliance.

And forming such an alliance is very troublesome in itself, and it definitely requires a lot of effort.

However, Ye Xiu did not have much good feelings towards Zhuge Zhengwo or the court of the Song Dynasty, and he did not want to go to the trouble of forming an alliance to save the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, as a time traveler, it is difficult for Ye Xiu to have any ideas of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. At least, it is difficult for him to have ideas of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism towards an ancient dynasty like the Song Dynasty, because he himself has no sense of identity.

This place is not like his previous life, where he lived under the red flag and had a sense of national pride, so he would go to see a few patriotic movies, buy Huawei phones, and boycott Apple for the sake of patriotism. But here, Ye Xiu doesn't have the leisure to do so.

In fact, let alone the Song Dynasty, Ye Xiu didn’t feel much even about the Ming Dynasty.

As long as it is not a country like the Qing Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty, Ye Xiu generally will not take the initiative to do anything, whether it is resistance or love.

Generally speaking, as long as it doesn't provoke Ye Xiu himself, Ye Xiu will mostly ignore it.

Therefore, for Ye Xiu, the best thing to do at this time is to watch An Yunshan's various operations from the sidelines. Even if he really becomes the emperor, Ye Xiu can continue to watch from the sidelines.

After Ye Xiu’s strength increases and he becomes stronger than An Yunshan, Ye Xiu will then kill An Yunshan and be done with it.

As for why he had to kill An Yunshan after his strength improved?

Of course, it was because An Yunshan's son An Shigeng died at Ye Xiu's hands. Even if An Yunshan didn't know about it now, what if An Yunshan knew about it in the future? Wouldn't he still seek revenge on Ye Xiu?

Since An Yunshan is a potential threat, and Ye Xiu has the strength, he will naturally not allow this potential threat to exist.

……

"Wuqing, the situation in the capital is very bad right now. We don't know how much power An Yunshan controls. Our uncle is still imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. We can't accomplish anything with our strength alone. So, Wuqing, you, you'd better leave the capital." In the original Shenhou Mansion, Tieshou said to Wuqing with a serious face.

"Then, what about you? And what about Uncle Shi?" Wuqing couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I will stay and find out the news about my uncle. Don't worry, Wuqing. My uncle is very powerful. I will find a way to rescue him from the prison. Then, with his power, we will be able to leave the capital easily." Tieshou said to Wuqing comfortingly.

Wuqing couldn't help but shook his head: "Don't say anymore, I won't leave. As for my uncle, his martial arts have been crippled by An Yunshan, and he has become an ordinary person with weak limbs. How can he fight against An Yunshan?" Wuqing said with a wry smile.

Wuqing also learned about Zhuge Zhengwo's situation from Ye Xiu's diary.

But Ye Xiu also did his part for Wuqing and reminded her.

"You mean Uncle Shi..." Tie Shou's face changed.

"My uncle's martial arts have been crippled by An Yunshan, but An Yunshan does not intend to harm my uncle's life. Instead, he plans to keep my uncle to participate in the emperor's abdication ceremony. My uncle will not be in danger for a while." Wuqing told her the news she got from the diary.

Tie Shou's expression changed constantly: "Wuqing, you are still in contact with the person who hid in An Mansion."

"Ye Xiu is not from Anyunshan." Wuqing said quickly.

"Isn't he An Yunshan's man? If so, Wuqing, can we win him over and ask him to help us deal with An Yunshan? He was hiding in the An Mansion before. Since he is not An Yunshan's man, there must be a conflict between him and An Yunshan. Maybe we can become allies. Even if he doesn't deal with An Yunshan, he can help us rescue our uncle. As long as our uncle is rescued, even if he has lost his martial arts, with his reputation and prestige, he can contact many forces in the capital, and then form an alliance to fight against An Yunshan together." Tieshou looked at Wuqing with hope.

"This, I'm afraid this won't work." Wuqing looked a little embarrassed.

"why?"

"Because it was Uncle Shi who drove Ye Xiu away from the An Mansion, Ye Xiu doesn't have a good impression of Uncle Shi. He didn't cause trouble for Uncle Shi, which was considered generous of him. But it is impossible for him to take the initiative to help Uncle Shi out of trouble." Wuqing explained, shaking his head.

"Wuqing, can't you ask him for help?" Tieshou looked at Wuqing seriously. If possible, he didn't want Wuqing to ask for help.

But the current situation was already extremely critical, and he had no choice but to say this.

"If it's my own business, it's fine, but since it involves my uncle..." Wuqing's expression was gloomy. She had read Ye Xiu's diary, but she also knew that sometimes Ye Xiu was very narrow-minded. Generally, if someone provoked Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu would definitely retaliate against them. Even if for some reason he would not retaliate, he would never help the other person in return.

"I, I'll try it!" Wuqing thought about it and finally decided to give it a try, even though the chance of failure in the end was very high.

……

But when Wuqing left the Shenhou Mansion and left the capital, she was immediately surrounded.

He is from An Yunshan.

An Yunshan also wanted to prevent Wuqing from doing anything that would affect his succession to the throne, so he had been guarding outside the Shenhou Mansion.

If Wuqing, Tieshou and the others stayed in the Shenhou Mansion obediently, An Yunshan would let them go for the time being. But once they left the Shenhou Mansion, or even left the capital, the people arranged by An Yunshan would immediately take action. They would either capture Wuqing and the others, or take their bodies back if they could not capture them alive.

And Wuqing has now encountered this group of people.

Wuqing is quite powerful, especially with the help of his psychic powers, he can almost always hit the target with his hidden weapons.

But Wuqing is just one person after all, and he is in a wheelchair with very inconvenient physical condition. How can he be a match for these people?

Even though Wuqing used the hidden weapons hidden in his hair to kill two of them, he was still caught by them in the end.

So Wuqing was captured by An Yunshan's men before he could even find Ye Xiu.

……

"An Yunshan's actions are quite efficient. Now the capital city is almost under his control."

"Three days later, he will arrange a ceremony to abdicate. At that time, he will have Ruyan disguise herself as the emperor and then take the initiative to abdicate the throne to him."

"But none of this matters to me."

"My current strength is already at the sixth level of Grandmaster, which means I am at the peak of the Profound Realm. I am almost about to break through."

"After the breakthrough, I will be able to become a celestial grandmaster. I don't know who will be stronger between me and An Yunshan at that time."

"But I feel like I should be stronger. After all, the martial arts I practiced are at a higher level, and I have mastered them to a very deep level. I can say that I have a solid foundation."

"As for An Yunshan, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be practicing a similar energy-absorbing technique as the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi. It's just that his energy-absorbing technique is more powerful, and can support An Yunshan's practice to the Grandmaster level, which could mean the Mysterious Grandmaster level, or the Celestial Grandmaster level."

"However, this type of martial arts that absorbs the cultivation of others always has a common weakness, that is, the true qi will not be pure enough. Even if too much true qi is absorbed, there may be a conflict due to different properties."

"It's just like Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique. In the movie, An Yunshan absorbed too much true energy, which caused a conflict in his body and eventually he exploded. Well, he should have exploded, right?"

"So after I become the Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomenon, my combat power should be greater than An Yunshan's. Especially his energy-absorbing technique. I can continuously convert my internal energy and intensify the conflict of the true energy in his body. So if I really fight him, my chances of winning should be greater."
