316: The enraged Wanyan Jing
However, recently when he was Cultivating, he could never settle his mind; every time, scenes of that great battle would appear.
He knew that Duan Zhengchun had already become his Heart Demon.
If he could not defeat Duan Zhengchun or kill him, he feared his cultivation would hardly progress for the rest of his life.
Of course, there was another way, which was to enter a demonic state.
However, once he entered a demonic state, he would become a sinner of Nine Dragons Temple.
As the dignified Abbot of Nine Dragons Temple, if it were known he was a demonic cultivator, wouldn't the whole world laugh at him?
"What a Prince of Zhennan. This old monk originally didn't plan to settle scores with you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to my door. Since that's the case, don't blame This old monk for being merciless and ridding the Jianghu of a Devil Head like you." Zen Master Dajue's face was gloomy, his words carrying a hint of Evil Qi.
The Little Novice Monk was frightened by the Abbot's Aura. Just now, he thought it was because of his own recklessness that he had disturbed the Abbot's Cultivate.
Now it seemed that there was indeed a problem with the Abbot's Heart-Nature.
This Evil Qi, how could it belong to a high monk of the Buddhist sect?
"Pass down the order, the entire temple is to be on high alert. If that Devil Head Duan Zhengchun dares to come, This old monk will ensure he never returns." Zen Master Dajue issued the command in a tone filled with Killing Intent.
"Yes..."
...At the Jin Imperial Court, the Emperor of Jin, Emperor of Jin was processing memorials. At this time, a Eunuch ran in frantically.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened."
Hearing this sudden voice, Emperor of Jin's brow furrowed slightly, his face showing displeasure.
"So flustered. What on earth has happened? If you can't give a proper explanation, I will have your head today," Emperor of Jin snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth, the Sixth Prince... the Sixth Prince, he..."
Because the little Eunuch was in such a hurry, he couldn't speak clearly for a moment.
Emperor of Jin's expression became even more unsightly, and he slapped the desk.
"You bastard! Someone, take him away and execute him..." Emperor of Jin shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, have mercy! Have mercy!"
"Then speak up quickly..." Emperor of Jin snorted coldly.
"Yes... the Sixth Prince, the Sixth Prince is dead." The little Eunuch finally managed to stammer it out.
"What? What did you say? Say it again for me..." Emperor of Jin roared, his imperial Aura erupting, scaring the little Eunuch so much he wet himself.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince was killed by someone at the Jiangnan Misty Rain Tower."
"You... *Pfft*..."
Emperor of Jin was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned as pale as golden paper, without a trace of color.
Originally, Emperor of Jin's health was not good, and he had already established the sixth son, Crown Prince of Jin, as the heir apparent, preparing to pass the throne to him.
As a result, news now came that his sixth son was dead.
Killed by someone at the Jiangnan Misty Rain Tower.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health! Quick, call the Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician!"
Emperor of Jin waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
"You, tell me clearly, what exactly happened." Emperor of Jin stared intently at the little Eunuch, looking as if he would kill him if he didn't explain well.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it happened like this..."
The little Eunuch recounted what had happened at the Misty Rain Tower.
After hearing it, Emperor of Jin's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his whole body exuded a Killing Intent.
"Good, good, very good. Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Zhengchun, you are very good. To dare kill my son—since that's the case, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Summon Great General Zhenyuan to see me," Emperor of Jin said angrily.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a stalwart figure wearing general's armor walked in quickly.
"This general pays his respects to Your Majesty."
"Pass down the order to prepare the three armies. I will dispatch troops to the Kingdom. I will destroy the Kingdom to avenge my sixth son," Emperor of Jin roared.
"Your Majesty, has something happened to the Crown Prince?" Great General Zhenyuan looked at Emperor of Jin in surprise.
"The sixth son was killed by Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Zhengchun, at the Jiangnan Misty Rain Tower. Even my grandson was killed."
"The Dali Duan Clan killed the heir of my Wanyan family. This matter absolutely cannot be left at that."
"A mere tiny country dares to touch my son? I will wipe out the entire Kingdom," Emperor of Jin roared.
"What? The Crown Prince was killed? And it was done by Prince of Zhennan of Dali, Duan Zhengchun?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface." Great General Zhenyuan's expression changed, and he spoke with a grave tone.
"What? Are you also going to plead for that Duan Zhengchun?" Emperor of Jin looked at Great General Zhenyuan with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, please investigate; that is absolutely not the case. It's just that this Duan Zhengchun is indeed not that simple."
"This general has heard rumors that this man was previously a profligate prince, but his strength suddenly surged to a terrifying level."
"It is said that the number of Masters who have died at his hands is countless, and there are even rumors that he has killed experts of the Earth Immortal Realm."
"Therefore, if we are to use military force against the Kingdom, we must consider it carefully," Great General Zhenyuan said solemnly.
"Hmph, what 'expert'? Before an army, everything is vulnerable."
"Can he, a single person, really withstand my Great Jin's army of a million?"
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. My mind is made up. Pass the order immediately. I will destroy the Kingdom and avenge my son." Emperor of Jin's attitude was firm; regardless of Duan Zhengchun's strength, he wanted to kill him to avenge his son and grandson.
Seeing the Emperor's firm attitude, Great General Zhenyuan was also helpless. As a subject, he naturally had to obey his Master's orders.
"Yes, this general will go and prepare now." Great General Zhenyuan turned and left after speaking.
"Dali Duan Clan, very good. A tiny Dali Duan Clan dares to kill my precious son and grandson. I want your entire Kingdom to be buried with them." Emperor of Jin ground his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
In the Great Song, Emperor Ningzong of Song's face turned gloomy as he listened to the latest news.
"Hmph, what a Prince of Zhennan of Dali. Does he really think my Great Song has no one? To dare kill the Crown Prince of Jin within my Great Song's borders is simply an inversion of the natural order!" Emperor Ningzong of Song roared in anger.
"Your Majesty, this Duan Zhengchun is the Prince of Zhennan of Dali. By doing this, he certainly has ill intentions."
"This will cause tension between our Great Song and the Jin State. It's very likely that if we don't give them an explanation, they might even send troops against our Great Song."
"Therefore, we absolutely cannot let this Duan Zhengchun go." Qin Kuai stood out and spoke with a sinister look.
"Yes, what Minister Qin says is correct. From this matter, it can be seen that the Kingdom has malicious intentions. It's very likely they want our Great Song and the Jin State to go to war so they can take advantage of the situation."
"We absolutely cannot let Duan Zhengchun off easily. Otherwise, where would the dignity of our Great Song be?"
"Good. Since that's the case, send an order immediately to the Kingdom. Tell the Emperor to give an explanation; otherwise, don't blame me for sending troops against the Kingdom." Emperor Ningzong of Song snorted coldly.
"Yes..."
In the Kingdom Imperial Palace, the Emperor was processing government affairs when a Eunuch suddenly ran in.
"Your Majesty, an envoy has come from the Great Song, saying there is an important matter to discuss."
"Oh? An envoy from the Great Song? What are they doing here in our Kingdom? Let him in." Although the Emperor was puzzled, he didn't think too much of it and directly let the person in.
