384: Let me take you into the trap

Boom!

The Law Sword and literary Qi formed a black hole, constantly expanding, sucking everything around it into itself, and crushing it.

The battle intensified, and then at a certain moment, Sword Qi and literary Qi erupted, and the terrifying might razed Duke Wus Mansion to the ground.

A figure also fell from mid-air.

"Master!" Zhuge Rizhao stepped forward, catching Chu Mo, who was badly damaged.

Chu Mo raised his right hand and touched Zhuge Rizhao's forehead: "From now on, Master can't accompany you anymore! You... must work hard and strive to join the Shenyan Immortal Court!"

"Yes, Master! I will definitely work hard and join the Shenyan Immortal Court. Please don't die yet, okay?!"

Zhuge Rizhao was genuinely panicked.

Although the time spent with this scoundrel Master wasn't long, being with him always gave him the feeling of still being back home.

Now, he was very afraid of being alone again in this strange world.

At this moment, a magnificent carriage, pulled by nine Flood Dragons, landed.

The Great Yan New Emperor stepped forward.

"Where is Duke Wu?"

Chu Mo coughed twice and looked at him.

"Duke Wu was poisoned and killed yesterday by the conspiracy of these dukes. Before he died, he entrusted me to take good care of his most unaccomplished ninety-ninth son. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't take care of him anymore..."

He spoke halfway.

Another violent cough.

Immediately after, his body began to crumble, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating.

"Your Majesty, Duke Wu's greatest wish was to see his unaccomplished ninety-ninth son enter the Shenyan Immortal Court's first academy. Do you think... that's possible?"

"This Emperor will submit Zhuge Rizhao's name to the Immortal Court. As for whether he can enter, that will depend on him!"

"Thank you..."

Chu Mo cupped his hands to bow, but before he could even finish his words, his body had already crumbled and vanished.

The moment Chu Mo's body crumbled, Zhuge Rizhao seemed to lose his direction, his eyes somewhat vacant.

Three seconds later, he seemed to come back to his senses, weeping uncontrollably and pounding the ground, crying heartbrokenly as if his own father had died.

"Master! Oh, Master! You died so tragically!! Without you, how can I live?!"

Seeing this, Gao Shou raised an eyebrow, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave.

Only a token and a sentence were left behind.

"Three months from now, the Immortal Court will recruit new disciples again. With my token, you can be exempted from the first round of assessment. As for the subsequent assessments, that will depend on you!"

"Oh, Master! Master!"

Zhuge Rizhao did not pick up the token on the ground, but continued to wail and cry on the ground.

It wasn't until Gao Shou got into the carriage and left Duke Wus Mansion that he stopped crying and quickly picked up the token on the ground.

"Master! Where are you?"

Zhuge Rizhao looked around in confusion. At first, he genuinely thought his Master was going to die.

But the moment his Master's body crumbled.

The light specks vaguely formed a pinyin in front of him.

Yan?

Yan! Yan! ( play - act)

The moment he saw the pinyin, Zhuge Rizhao was truly dumbfounded. The Master he acknowledged was actually a Transmigrator.

Because only Transmigrators would use pinyin.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately started acting.

It was just that.

His acting was overly exaggerated, with too much theatricality.

Fortunately, the Great Yan New Emperor did not see through it and even gave him a token that was enough to exempt him from the first round of the Immortal Court's assessment.

And now, what puzzled Zhuge Rizhao was that the matter was over, but his Master had not appeared.

So.

Zhuge Rizhao began to ponder on the spot, wondering what other clues his Master had left him... Outside the Great Yan Imperial Capital.

In a small mountain village.

In a certain thatched hut, a figure opened his eyes.

"The matter is settled!"

In front of him were two people.

One was Duke Wu, Zhuge Changde.

The other was the Great Yan Prime Minister, Fei Wu.

"Acting is one thing, but there was no need to use the Law of Sword Dao to obliterate my Sword Intent Clone, was there?!"

Fei Wu stood in front of Chu Mo, his eyes filled with resentment. A perfectly good Sword Intent Clone was just wiped out like that.

That was a Sword Intent Clone that could carry Confucian Dao. To refine such a Clone that was almost identical to his main body, he had sacrificed many Heaven And Earth Treasures back then.

"Don't look at me! I'm also very innocent! To make the battle more realistic, I could only do this! If you have a problem, go find Senior Zhuge! Senior Zhuge is responsible for all losses!"

Chu Mo was unwilling to take the blame and immediately shifted the blame, letting Zhuge Changde bear all the losses.

"Speaking of which..."

"Senior Zhuge, can my Clone be reimbursed? Refining a Clone of this level consumes a lot of immortal spirit minerals!"

Chu Mo rubbed his hands and looked at Zhuge Changde. To refine such a lifelike Clone, he had plundered Chen Lu's secret stash last night.

Chen Lu had painstakingly mined and secretly hidden immortal spirit minerals in the mining area, but almost half of it was squandered in one night.

If this wasn't quickly replenished.

Chen Lu, who was still working like a slave, would probably burst into tears on the spot.

Faced with the two of them demanding compensation, Zhuge Changde had only one reply.

"No resources, only my life!"

Chu Mo: "..."

Fei Wu: "..."

He truly was a stubborn old man!

"Speaking of which, where's Ninety-Nine?! Why isn't he here?!" Zhuge Rizhao, in Zhuge Changde's eyes, no longer deserved to be called by name and was directly referred to as Ninety-Nine. One who didn't know might have thought he was a retainer.

"I didn't leave him our address, so... he's still in Duke Wus Mansion right now." Since he couldn't get compensation from Zhuge Changde, Chu Mo decided to shift it to his son.

As long as Zhuge Rizhao entered the Shenyan Immortal Court, with an insider, he wouldn't be too short on resources.

And Zhuge Changde's eyes widened when he heard that Zhuge Rizhao was still in Duke Wus Mansion.

Although he had many children, he treated each one with sincerity.

Even his eldest daughter, Zhuge Guo, who had been banished from the family, was no exception.

All of this was to avenge Zhuge Guo.

However, when he went to assassinate the Great Yan New Emperor Gao Shou last night, he failed.

There was a Dao Protector by the other party's side.

His strength was not weak.

He failed to succeed.

Therefore, last night, he contacted Chu Mo and Prime Minister Fei Wu to plot today's event.

To gather all the dukes whose titles had been stripped into Duke Wus Mansion to plot rebellion.

Whether they wanted to rebel or not, they had to walk the path of rebellion.
