125: Incognito visit, Jiang Lin cried bitterly

One hour after the Darkness Moment descended, the boundless darkness suddenly vanished.

The mountain and river map and various Formations simultaneously regained their effects.

Inside the Capital, all criminals were instantly apprehended.

The situation was resolved in an instant!

Afterward, to commemorate this event, the world called it the “Darkness Moment”!

Following this, all forces began to review this Darkness Moment.

The entire Darkness Moment came inexplicably and left just as inexplicably.

It was as if it was just to cause some destruction!

Initially, all Formation controls failed, the criminals from the Myriad Punishments Purgatory were released, and their strength was even enhanced.

For the first half-hour, the Capital transformed into a playground for criminals, law enforcement officers suffered heavy losses, and countless common people also lost their lives.

In the latter half-hour, Dao Heaven Sect entered the Capital from the north gate, quickly suppressing two-thirds of the area and continuously expanding their gains.

Just as Dao Heaven Sect had basically brought the situation under control, the darkness suddenly vanished, and everything returned to its original state, leaving no trace.

Three days after the Darkness Moment ended,

All forces quieted down.

Long Zhiyang had not held a court assembly since the one that dispersed during the Darkness Moment.

But it was said that he stayed in Yangyuan Hall for three days, summoning many people.

At the same time,

Six Doors personnel were rapidly recalled, and Nangong Shuo also rushed back from Cloud Marsh, remaining inside the Myriad Punishments Purgatory.

The Dragon Guard formally announced an expansion, selecting the most elite Cultivators from the Nine Provinces!

The Imperial Guards began operations, and it was said they were going to rebuild Dali Temple!

The Sima Family also sent a highly elite group of people, for reasons unknown!

The Capital was enveloped by an immense Aura.

In the somber atmosphere, a young man in a white robe was fishing and flirting with a girl by the pond.

“My dear husband, Shi Rou knows her mistake, please let me go!”

Xia Shirou’s face was flushed, and she was playfully begging for mercy in Jiang Lin’s arms.

“That depends on your performance…”

Jiang Lin looked at Xia Shirou mischievously, saying flippantly.

Seeing Jiang Lin like this, Xia Shirou lightly bit her lip, her gaze firm, as if she had made a great decision.

She bent down, picked up a cherry with her mouth, and brought it to Jiang Lin’s lips.

The next moment, the scene gradually became more intimate.

Suddenly, a cough interrupted Jiang Lin’s pleasant time.

“That bastard…”

Before he could finish, a majestic voice cut him off.

“It’s your old man!”

Jiang Lin hastily stood up to look.

It was Jiang Haoyuan!

Before Jiang Haoyuan could flare up and scold him for his idleness, Jiang Lin spoke first:

“Old man, I’ve been looking for you every day these past few days, and you haven’t even shown a shadow!”

“I even thought you were enchanted by some demoness and couldn’t get out of bed!”

At these words, Jiang Haoyuan’s face turned red and green with anger, and he was about to step forward to express his fatherly love.

Just then, he remembered the Emperor was also present, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and said:

“Rebel son, stop talking nonsense! Such a major event just happened in the Capital, your father is helping His Majesty share his worries!”

“Unlike you, who spends all day at home enjoying music and dancing with women, what Major Achievement will you have in the future?”

“If there weren’t outsiders present, your father would not spare you!”

“Come, let me introduce you. This is your father’s good friend at court; you can just call him Yang Bo (Uncle Yang)!”

Jiang Lin looked over. This person exuded nobility, and his brows conveyed an air of authority without anger.

With such an Aura,

It could only be Long Zhiyang.

The fish has finally come?

“Greetings, Yang Bo (Uncle Yang)!”

After Jiang Lin respectfully greeted him, he continued to say to Jiang Haoyuan:

“Old man, think carefully about the reclusive plan I told you about!”

At this moment, Long Zhiyang was observing Jiang Lin.

Although he was unrestrained, his appearance was truly top-notch.

Before he could finish his internal lament, Jiang Lin’s words broke through his composure.

Reclusive?

What reclusive?

Only to hear Jiang Haoyuan say: “Don’t talk nonsense, what reclusive? The Nine Provinces still need the Jiang Family to shine!”

Jiang Lin rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously: “Oh, please. How much is the Jiang Family worth to make you so arrogant?”

At this point, Long Zhiyang spoke: “Nephew, what is your reclusive plan? Is it convenient to tell me?”

Jiang Lin replied directly: “Hand over half of our assets, stay away from the court, and go to Black Yuan City to be a landlord!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Haoyuan, fearing Long Zhiyang would misunderstand, hastily said: “What nonsense are you talking, brat? We still need to ease His Majesty’s worries!”

Jiang Lin directly retorted: “If we keep easing worries, the Jiang Family will be dissolved by the Royal Family!”

Jiang Haoyuan immediately stepped forward and angrily shouted: “Rebel son, shut up!”

At this moment, he was extremely agitated.

These past few days, His Majesty had already been displeased.

If Jiang Lin’s words were to implicate the Jiang Family, it would be disastrous!

Jiang Haoyuan had originally thought that the Emperor’s incognito visit this time was to decide the position of Demon Suppression Envoy!

Now it seemed, everything was ruined!

Long Zhiyang raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in confusion: “Nephew, what do you mean by that?”

Jiang Lin replied directly: “I’ve made Yang Bo (Uncle Yang) laugh!”

“I see you are not from the Four Great Families, so that should be fine!”

“I advise you not to associate with my father in the future; it’s best to cut ties completely!”

“Otherwise, you won’t be spared when the reckoning comes later!”

As Long Zhiyang listened, the veins on his forehead throbbed.

It’s just that small matter in Black Yuan City; is it really necessary to be so alarmist?

“Ahem, there were indeed some problems in Black Yuan City, but nephew, you might be too overly worried!”

“Isn’t it enough for the Jiang Family not to clash with the Crown Prince?”

Jiang Lin shook his head and said bluntly: “Actually, the Crown Prince is going to become the Supreme ruler, and he has a strong desire for control, so it’s not a big deal!”

“He hasn’t even ascended the throne yet, and he’s inexplicably put us on the opposing side!”

“Yang Bo (Uncle Yang), have you ever considered that he has never discussed our stance with the Four Great Families?”

“He wants to eliminate us without even asking; where’s the justice in that?”

“Either he doesn’t have the current Emperor’s magnanimity, or he’s been misled by villains!”

“Regardless of the reason, for my Jiang Family, as long as we remain in court, we will be ruined, with our entire Family executed!”

“Think about it, the Crown Prince is set in stone, and the Sima Family cannot be moved, so why not run away early? What are we waiting for?”

“If he dares to touch the Liu Family today, he will dare to touch the Jiang Family tomorrow!”

“The Liu Family still holds a million troops; what is my Jiang Family compared to that?”

Jiang Lin’s words were incisive,

So much so that Jiang Haoyuan, standing beside him, was a little swayed.

Indeed, retreating now while the current is strong is the best strategy!

On the side, Long Zhiyang’s eyes flashed with several murderous intentions.

But not towards Jiang Lin,

Instead, he admired Jiang Lin even more in his heart.

The murderous intent in his eyes was directed at the Sima Family!

He didn’t think Long Zhan had made any major mistakes; at most, it was the arrogance and conceit of a young man!

The reason for today’s situation was the Sima Family’s instigation behind the scenes!

The Sima Family’s methods were becoming increasingly excessive!

Long Zhiyang composed himself and said with a smile on the surface: “Actually, nephew, you might as well wait a bit; it might not be as bad as you think. Perhaps the Crown Prince is just waiting for his ascension to win over people’s hearts!”

Jiang Lin spread his hands: “I dare not gamble, absolutely dare not gamble. What I’m gambling with is my life, my life of music and dancing, and nightly revelry!”

“Yang Bo (Uncle Yang), think about it, even if we hand over sixty percent, my Jiang Family would still be considered a wealthy Family!”

“But if we are punished by the Supreme ruler, we’ll be nothing!”
