He spent a full ten minutes before he was able to chase all the people away.
When the cell quietened down, he sighed.
At this moment, he didn’t know what his mood was like.
Should he have been sad because of the Great Shang? Or delighted enough to mock Emperor Yuanchen for not listening to his words?
He hated those people. As subjects of Great Shang, they wanted to change sides even when the country remained. If not, why would they fear him and even rushed over to apologise?
“That Yang Family said they wanted to save you. Why didn’t you agree?”
A person suddenly appeared beside Jin Buhui. It was Suchen.
“Although the Yang Family is the weakest of the five families, they are still really strong. If they wanted to get you out, they would have definitely been able to do so.”
“They just want to push me to the south to suck up to my brother. How can I let them get what they wish for? This is also not what a friend would do…”
Jin Buhui scoffed, his expression was solemn and filled with a bit of seriousness, “Tell me the truth, what is going on with Great Shang? What is going on in the Imperial City?”
“What else can happen? All the aristocratic families sent their kids back to their feudal land and only left three to five in the Imperial City. The various colleges of the Confucians are in a mess. Although the officials hadn’t privately messaged the Great Gan Ruler, they were shocked by the five decrees. If Great Shang continued to fall it would happen sooner or later.”
Suchen laughed in a mocking manner, “However, I heard that Shiyue acted. The Shi Family planned something out and blocked Hundred Victory Pass. Great Shang won’t fall so soon.”
“Five decrees?”
Jin Buhui shook his head. No matter what the details of the five decrees were, everything had nothing to do with him.
He felt really emotional. An intense pain rose up in his heart.
“If I knew that Great Shang would lose so badly I should have left along with you. Now, I can’t leave even if I want to…”
Suchen kept silent. He raised his head and looked out. His spiritual sense picked up a dozen God Realm experts locking this place down.
Although he wasn’t afraid, his eyes were filled with helplessness.
Although Great Shang was on the verge of falling, it still had a huge foundation…
With these people here, even if he wanted to save Jin Buhui, it was impossible.
Jin Buhui really looked at his life very casually.
“Now, it is useless even if I feel regret. Hearing what you say, the Sword Sect will definitely retreat and advance with Great Gan?”
“His Majesty is the Saint Ruler! He is now the top of the Cloud World, we will be like wings on its back, helping it expand! Even your sect, Haoxuan Sect, was tempted?”
Suchen’s brow rose up, his eyes filled with cold determination, “Even if he isn’t the God Emperor in the prophecy, with how His Majesty does things our Sword Sect can be at ease.”
“His Majesty? He is prepared to be crowned Emperor?”
Jin Buhui was stunned once more and gave out a self mocking laugh, “With his achievements and the current strength of Great Gan actually he could have done so long ago. Just help me tell him that even if I die I won’t trouble him. Ask him to be careful of the Confucian Faction and of Zhu Zi…”
Suchen was stunned and subconsciously neglected the first sentence. He continued in a mocking manner, “Confucian Faction? Zhu Zi? They are at their last legs. With Ruler’s Saint King aura and Great Gan’s prosperity, it isn’t something they could deny. I really want to see how the Confucians will react? Will they continue to listen to that Zhu Zi?”

The Jiuchi Palace at night regained silence once more. All war matters had ended before midnight.
Everything was handled and Kong Yao brought half of the elites and Dao Soldiers towards Min River.
North of it there were still over ten million Great Shang troops. If Great Gan wanted to attack the five states of the south, then they couldn’t allow these elites to escape to the north of Henglian Mountain Range.
Speed was the most important thing and they couldn’t waste any time now.
Zong Shou was the one who was freed up. The hundred thousand cavalry he needed had to wipe out the sixteen million Shang army first before he could gather them.
At this moment, in the main hall, he was holding onto a jade letter.
This was one of the things that Zhongxuan left. As the Great Shang Grand Teacher, naturally, he was really rich. It was far from what the same grade cultivators could compare to.
The unfortunate thing was that he didn’t bring much out with him.
Out of everything he left, only this jade letter perked his interest.
What it recorded within was a map. The reason why he paid attention to it was because what it recorded was similar to the Qin Emperor sub tomb he had visited.
The size was much bigger, around ten times. Apart from the main tomb, it was like a complete world. In the outer area, there were many mazes covered in formations and traps.
Even the jade letter within couldn’t be discerned in detail. Many places were blurred and uncertain.
“Qin Emperor’s main tomb?”
Zong Shou’s eyes squinted. Then, he looked towards the ashen white, beardless male.
This was one of the officials who Emperor Yuanchen doted on the most, Internal Affairs Junior Supervisor Gao Ruo…
Yinyu alone was saved by Shiyue. Those officials by his side weren’t so lucky and were captured.
Gao Ruo was one of them.
“Did Grand Teacher Zhongxuan know about where the tomb was at?”
Gao Ruo’s face was ashen white. He pursed his lips and didn’t dare to make a sound. His eyes were cold and defiant as he looked above. He didn’t fear anything at all.
“You really are loyal!”
Zong Shou was unsurprised. Since Yinyu was praised as someone who helped Great Gan to rise up, he had many helpers. If he wasn’t able to gain the loyalty of those under him, how would he turn the tides that year?
Even if he was tortured and locked this person up, he wouldn’t be able to get anything.
Only if he directly soul searched would he be able to find memories regarding the tomb.
However, when he asked that he actually didn’t plan to get anything out of Gao Ruo.
He only needed to know what Emperor Yuanchen and Zhongxuan were planning.
He took the jade letter and thought about it for a moment. Zhang Huai was also distracted at the side.
“Official Zhang, I know that you are one of the descendants of Zhang Liang. Do you know something about the Qin Emperor Tomb?”
Zhang Huai was startled when he heard that and then he laughed helplessly. The thing he thought about just now was not connected to the tomb but was him trying to convince Zong Shou to let people call him Emperor.
At noon when the hundreds of thousands of soldiers called him that he rejected them. The failure of the matter made him really annoyed.
However, he did know something about the Qin Emperor tomb. The problem was how did Ruler know that he was a descendant of Zhang Liang?
“The Qin Emperor always calls himself the top Ruler of the Cloud World. How could he have a normal tomb? People don’t know where it is but Zhang Huai’s senior had found out where it was after searching several times. It is at East Kunlun Mountain.”
“East Kunlun?”
Zong Shou’s brow rose up, thinking to himself that it was really possible.
West Kunlun was the top giant mountain during the Cloud Desolate Era. At the end of the Cloud Desolate Era someone smashed it with a palm. In the future, the Central Cloud Continent was heavily damaged and the geography changed. Who knew where the tomb was now?
With the pride of that Qin Emperor, only the legendary pinnacle land would be worth burying him there.
Zong Shou had read all sorts of books and the place where East Kunlun was at most probably already sunk.
This was problematic. Even if he knew that it was East Kunlin, he didn’t know the specific location.
He cursed out. In the ancient times, those experts really were inhumane. Why did they have to break apart such a Cloud Continent?
However, the collapse of it started ten thousand years ago and ended eight thousand years ago when that huge situation occurred. It probably had a connection to the death of Xi Zi.
“Where it is at now, I am unsure. However, it is okay. Someone told me before that the tomb would appear twelve years later.”
When he said that, his eyes flickered and a serious expression appeared in his eyes.
“I heard that although Zhongxuan came from the Taoist Faction, he obtained a portion of the legacy of the ancient Qi Cultivators. A part of the mechanism within was made by the Mohists and the Qi Cultivators. Whether or not this person could enter early was tough to say…”
If that was the case, then it would be a little problematic.
Great Qin gathered all sorts of god metals to create those twelve copper men.
Each one of them had the ability to fight against Peak Saint Realm experts.
Legend had it that even End Realm Saint Venerables wouldn’t be able to smash their bodies.
If the twelve of them formed a formation, they would be able to counter End Realm experts.
This was why the Qin Emperor was able to suppress the three factions.
If such an End Treasure fell to Great Shang, it could allow them to rise up.
Be it whether or not this jade letter was real or fake, Great Gan couldn’t take the risk.
Without hesitating, Zhang Huai sent out a talisman. It burned and then his expression worsened.
Before Zong Shou asked, he had already spoken up, “That Great Shang Grand Teacher is still not dead. The Qi Cultivator’s skills are really amazing!”
Zong Shou was shocked. That Zhongxuan faced the recoil of the Heaven Path and then the Qilin smacked it and he still didn’t die?
Was it an incarnation too? It didn’t look like it?
However, there was no need to be curious about it as he could just ask Gao Ruo.
“This thing is connected with your emperor. However, I just need to investigate a little and I would be able to find out. If you want to save your life, then don’t hide anything!”
That Gao Ruo hesitated a little and when Zong Shou was about to grab over like he was going to scour his soul, he hurriedly said, “I don’t know, I only heard that he cultivated a soul splitting technique that can make dozens of incarnations.”
