Chapter 103: Accounting for righteousness and raising the banner
"Now that the ropes that bind you have been broken, why don't you go to the Immortal Summit with me without these shackles?"
The fate of the fight between the two dragons was over. Xiao Leshan and Xu Lai were like wild beasts raised in a circus. The first time they broke free, they thought of their trainer who had killed them.
"Ahem, your method is really... simple and crude!"
Xiao Leshan stood up, and the aura on his body burst out unfettered. The unstoppable sword intent made everyone feel chilled.
"My traitorous son is in your hands."
Xu Lai followed closely behind. He was not good at swordsmanship, but he had a royal and domineering aura surging around his body. He opened his hands and lightly clenched his fists, which made the entire Langshan tremble.
"Xu Fan, don't worry, he's very fine. He's up there."
Xu Tong pointed at the clouds in the distance, and when Xu Lai looked around, he could see through the clouds and fog and directly locked onto Xu Fan who was standing on the deck. Xu Fan was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost fell off the deck.
Seeing that Xu Fan was fine, Xu Lai's mouth finally revealed a sinister smile: "That's it, let's get on the road now!"
Xu Lai has a new and old hatred for Shangqing Dao. He has been a puppet for so many years, but he has finally been looking forward to this day. Although it is not exactly the same as planned, it does not matter.
"Don't worry, there's just one more thing to do!"
Xu Tong shook his head instead.
"What's the matter? We can't delay it any longer, the comet is about to hit the moon!"
Xu Lai had to remind Xu Tong that once the comet hits the moon, the world's luck will be in chaos and his advantage will no longer exist.
It's ridiculous to say that before, they tried every means to delay the event, fearing that the comet would not hit the moon until it was delayed.
But now, they were eager to take Yang Hong to the Immortal Summit and didn't even want to wait for half a minute.
It really echoes that saying, time is like fate, things in the world are unpredictable and the changes are endless.
"Ha, we really can't get around this matter." Xu Tong knew Xu Lai's good intentions, but he really couldn't get around this matter: "Fortunately, it's not a troublesome matter, just asking for help.
Just helping."
"help??"
Xiao Leshan and Xu Lai looked strange for a moment. Not to mention the two of them feeling guilty, even the people in the world who were following behind felt strange. At this moment, Yang Hong could control the rise and fall of the world with just one thought. Is there anything else he needs to find?
People help.
"Haha, this man is a wonderful person. He is down there. We might as well go and meet him together."
Xu Tong took the lead and didn't say who it was, but just asked Xu Lai and Xiao Leshan to go with him to meet him.
At the same time, in a maple forest not far from Wolf Mountain, a young man suddenly opened his eyes: "No!
"
After saying bad words, the young man ignored the followers around him and stood up to run away. However, as soon as he jumped up on his toes, he was pushed back to the seat by a powerful force of pure Yang.
"Your Majesty is here. I have never greeted you, so how dare you bother Your Majesty to get up and greet me in person?"
As Xu Tong's message entered the secret, the young man's face suddenly brightened and darkened, but he no longer resisted and could only sit on the chair and wait for Xu Tong and the others to walk over.
"Buzzing..."
Before the three of them could come forward, the followers around him were already standing in front of the young man.
Xu Lai glanced at these followers, and his expression changed instantly: "Secret Guard Thirteen Eagles!"
Others didn't recognize these people, so how could Xu Lai not recognize them? When Emperor Zhao Meng adopted these dead servants, ordinary people didn't know it, but Xu Lai had a thorough understanding of these people's background early on.
I didn't expect to meet them here.
At this time, Xu Lai inevitably felt something strange in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Get out of here!"
The roar of thunder and anger instantly caused everyone to fall to the ground.
Then Xu Lai strode forward and took a closer look. He saw a young man sitting in the pavilion, squinting his face and looking at him with a smile on his face.
"His Majesty?"
Xu Lai looked at the young man, and his eyes suddenly revealed a bit of surprise. The young man in front of him looked almost exactly the same as Zhao Meng, but their temperaments were completely different.
Although Zhao Meng was the emperor, even though he personally governed the court, he always acted like a friendly minister.
The Zhao Meng in front of him exudes a domineering aura from the inside out. The most important thing is that this man's cultivation is on par with his own.
In the realm of terrestrial gods, they are not just mortals, their bodies are like precious jade, endowed with unique innate energy.
At this time, Xu Lai couldn't help but be shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
He never expected that this little emperor, who he had never cared about, would unknowingly have the qualifications to challenge him.
This is very scary. The emperor quietly accumulates strength. When advancing, he can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. When retreating, he can sit on the sidelines and remain invincible. This is the way to be a king.

"Hmph, Xu Guozhu, you seem to be very surprised to see me."
When things got to this point, Zhao Meng no longer needed to hide. He sat on a chair and stared at Xu Lai coldly, and said with a smile: "Why, can everyone in the world come to watch the battle, but I can't?"
"I don't dare!"
Xu Lai was stunned for a moment and quickly bowed to say hello.
However, Xu Tong walked over with a smile on his face, changed the unpleasant topic, and bowed slightly towards Zhao Meng: "I pay my respects to your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity!"
Seeing Yang Hong, Zhao Meng's face was filled with uncertainty, and he wanted to get angry, but when he saw the monstrous fortune behind Yang Hong, which was already too big to fall, a giant holding up the sky, he could only endure the unhappiness in his heart.
He forced a smile on his face and said, "Marquis Shenwu is exempt from the courtesy."
Zhao Meng accentuated his tone and emphasized the words Shenwuhou, hoping that Yang Hong would not forget that he was still a minister of Tiangan and that he was the emperor of Tiangan.
It's a pity that Xu Tongke couldn't understand Zhao Meng's painstaking efforts. He straightened up and said bluntly: "The Shangqing Dao has brought trouble to the imperial court, disrupted the country, regarded the world's creatures as livestock, and tried to provoke a war between the north and the south, causing chaos in the world. The Northern Man Emperor
I have issued an edict that Shangqing Dao will be regarded as a cult, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to destroy the cult and benefit the world."
Zhao Meng's mouth twitched, not to mention how disgusted he felt.
This was originally a fairy chess game, and he was able to advance and retreat as a spectator, but when the chess game was getting intense, Yang Hong overturned the table, and all the conspiracies were exposed in broad daylight.
How to play this??
Zhao Meng lowered his face and lowered his voice: "What Marquis Shenwu said is exaggerated. As far as I know..."
"My lord, please give me your order!"
Xu Tong had no intention of arguing with Zhao Meng, so he spoke again, and at the same time directly transmitted the message into the secret: "Brother, you don't want your youngest son who is under one year old to ascend the throne and become the emperor in advance!"
Zhao Meng was startled, facing the threat of Xu Tong Chi Guoguo, his eyes suddenly became bloodshot.
In a word, he either ordered to stand in line, or he removed the monarch and established a new monarch.
With Xu Lai by his side, it would not be difficult to overthrow him as the emperor.
"good!"
The word "good" seemed to be squeezed out from Zhao Meng's teeth with difficulty. His eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, staring directly at Yang Hong's face, and finally he had no choice but to issue the imperial edict.
Xu Tong also emphasized that the real person of Zhao Meng should personally issue the decree and stamp it with a big seal to announce it to the world.
This sentence completely blocked all Zhao Meng's escape routes.
Finally, he glared at Xu Tong fiercely: "I really saw the right person!"
Zhao Meng's words seem to be accusing Xu Tong of being ungrateful, but this kind of words is the same as saying harshly: "Don't leave if you have the guts!" after losing a fight. Whoever takes it seriously is the fool.
Zhao Meng hid too deeply. If you don't find him out first, there is no guarantee that he will not side with Shangqing Road at the critical moment.
When the time comes, when you are adding insult to injury, do you still want to hear him say, "If you want your minister to die, I will have to die?"
Zhao Meng closed his eyes for a moment, and after getting in touch with the main body, he coldly snorted: "Okay!"
After saying this, Zhao Meng stood up and was about to leave, but Xu Tong stepped forward again at this moment: "I still want to borrow something from your majesty!"
"what??"
Zhao Meng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Xu Tong didn't even explain it clearly to him before he directly launched the interception.
By the time Zhao Meng noticed it, it was already too late.
The divine dragon that came into the world opened its mouth and swallowed it, and Zhao Meng found that half of his luck had been swallowed up.
At this time, Zhao Meng really wanted to kill someone, but no matter whether it was Xu Lai, Xiao Leshan or Yang Hong in front of him, he couldn't move. He could only grit his teeth and glare at Yang Hong's face: "You
Do you call this borrowing??”
Yang Hong scratched his head and looked at Zhao Meng with blinking eyes: "Uh... I am a scholar. What is the name of a scholar if it is not borrowing??"
"hiss!
"Xu Lai and Xiao Leshan almost rolled their eyes when they heard this.
But when I think about it, it seems that Yang Hong is really a scholar, well... at least his shameless level is not a bit higher than Zhou Yasheng.
Zhao Meng breathed a sigh of relief in his chest, almost biting his gums to bits, and said: "It's an insult to politeness!" This time he turned around and ran away without looking back, for fear that he would be a step too slow and if Yang Hong called him again, he would suffer.
No.
The imperial decree cannot be announced to the world until Zhao Meng's true body is delivered from Hengshan to Lin'an Mansion, which will take a certain amount of time.
But Xu Tong and the others were not idle.
With Xu Lai and the personal descriptions of Xiao Leshan's victims, the old man from Gusu, who turned into a righteous reporter, exposed the deeds and conspiracies of Shangqing Dao to the world.
Now, everyone in the world is criticizing Shangqing Dao.
Especially those scholars who scolded the most fiercely. After all, Confucianism most rejects the way of ghosts and gods. Now they seize the opportunity to show off their presence.
Article after article fell like snow, criticizing the Shangqing Dao cult for harming the country.
At the climax of the public denunciation, Zhao Meng's imperial edict was finally announced to the world in Lin'an City, which was tantamount to completely classifying Shangqing Dao into the scope of a cult.
When Xu Tong slowly approached the Immortal Summit with his mighty troops, the great righteousness of the world had already been captured. Wherever he went, people and officials lined the streets to greet him and beat gongs to send him off.
Take great righteousness and raise the banner.
The louder the celebration, the stronger the voice to kill the cult. At the same time, Xu Tong's luck is also like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. By the time he reaches the foot of Tianmu Mountain, Xu Tong has become a world-famous person.
The saint in my heart.
Even the huge power of faith has surged towards Xu Tong like a tide. This scene made Xu Lai and Xiao Leshan go crazy with envy. The two of them were the best in the world. They controlled the government and their reputation was so great.
But even so, people in the world have not said who made them saints, and ordinary people cannot pass this test, let alone Confucianism.
So much so that the old man from Gusu wrote such a paragraph in his notebook.
"Why fight with the world to win the title? Thousands of people will point it out, and ten thousand people will win the title.
No one in the world dares to climb the peak before the seven-foot pure sun is out of its sheath!"
