Rules of Heaven - C58

Speaking of which, Ding Hong just came out from the residence of the disciples of the Sky Magi Sect and coincidentally bumped into Ji Yuanmeng, Bai Li, and the rest who were riding on a horse carriage. After Bai Li saw him, he said, “If you have any other matters, you don’t have to come with me to see Ji Yuan.”

Thinking that he had nothing better to do anyway, he decided to follow Bai Li to the Imperial Palace. On the way there, he would ask about some matters.

Bai Li said, “Get in the car.”

Ding Hong boarded the horse carriage and sat for a while before asking, “Bai Li, do you feel that the curse has changed in recent years?”

Bai Li stared at him. As for his identity, Bai Li knew it as well. The young man in front of him was the son of the last generation of the Ding Clan. He was in control of the Heavenly Talisman and Supreme Ring. However, after observing for a long time, he didn’t see Ding Hong put the ring there. However, Bai Li didn’t know if Ding Hong knew how to use the Supreme Ring, because Zi had once told him that the Supreme Ring’s power was boundless. It was something that could only be used in ancient times. However, when he was telling this to Bai Li, he had also warned him that he could not tell Ding Hong these things!

Now that Ding Hong had asked about Chuchu Chujiang’s matter, he felt that it was time to tell him about it. He said, “Two years ago, Chuchu Chujiang’s second generation curse lord, the son of Chuchu Chujiang’s first generation chief, the Emperor of Chu, had been resurrected. Furthermore, many unknown powers also resurrected along with it. ”

Resurrection? Ding Hong’s first thought was that he knew about the Ghost Clan Alliance. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Is it because of the Ghost Clan?”

“That’s right.” Bai Li nodded his head, “The Western Heavenly Ghost Clan led by the Western Ghost Kings of Xiluo formed an alliance with Ju-Hex and agreed to cast the Life and Death Curse with them. They used many of their lives to awaken the other people who had executed the Monarch and Ju-Huan!”

Ding Hong asked in surprise, “Using the Flatness of life?”

Bai Li snorted coldly, “That’s right, using mortal blood to awaken their ancestors. Otherwise, how could Jueming suddenly obtain such a powerful strength in two years!”

“Are the leaders of the Heavenly Palace and Penglai sects not concerned about these things?” Ding Hong felt a little strange.

Bai Li said, “These things, they should be able to handle it. Jueming had already set up many powerful barriers in the areas under their control, including many from the Xiluo tribe. Furthermore, the Emperor Punisher from a thousand years ago was a legendary figure. Now that it has been revived, who would dare to make a move against it? ”

When Ding Hong heard these words, he felt extremely stifled. The Curse of Perception must have done something many years ago that caused his entire clan to be exterminated. If he didn’t remove the Curse of Perception, a wave of resentment would constantly assail every part of his body!

He couldn’t help but clench his fist.

When Bai Li saw him like this, he said, “Actually, this Intimidation Curse allying with the Ghost Clan is no different from a tiger seeking its prey. One day, they will definitely meet with calamity!”

“I hope so.”

The carriage had already arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Palace. According to the rules, they should have got off the carriage and entered. However, Bai Li showed something to them and the guards let the carriage in.

After entering the palace, they passed by a vast and grand plaza before disembarking from the carriage. After passing by the main palace, they arrived at the side palace. At this moment, Bai Li didn’t even give any notice before he directly entered the palace. Originally, a few guards carrying sabers wanted to stop him, but suddenly an old eunuch came out from the side and stopped them. He said to Bai Li and the others, “Mister Bai, please come in. His Majesty has been waiting for a long time.”

Bai Li nodded and brought Ji Yuanmeng into the hall with Ding Hong.

The furnishings inside the hall were simple and unadorned. Next to them hung several scrolls of fine silk gauze floating in the air. Because the two sides of the hall were empty, the air in the hall flowed and the silk gauze continuously swayed. And because each of the volumes were very large, more than half of the palace was covered.

However, this did not affect the movements of Bai Li and Ding Hong.

After they passed through, they saw Ji Xingjian, who was kneeling behind a wooden table and reviewing official documents. At this moment, Ding Hong also saw Ji Xing Jian. At this moment, he looked somewhat old. However, his face was as if it had been carved by a knife. The strands of white hair and a few wrinkles on his forehead made him look even more heroic. When Ji Xingjian saw that they had arrived, he did not reveal the emperor’s imposing aura. Instead, he hurriedly stood up and bowed, “Mister Bai.” He was not very respectful or friendly to Ding Hong and only nodded his head slightly.

Ding Hong couldn’t help but start to suspect Bai Li’s background and identity.

Ji Yuanxing said, “My daughter will be troubling Mister Bai. Tomorrow will be the grand ceremony, and then I will escort Jiu Meng to the land of Shu.”

Ji Yuanmeng, on the other hand, quieted down. In an instant, she changed from a chatterbox to a royal princess of a powerful country. Gentle and elegant, dignified and quiet. Ji Xing Jian looked at her for a while and was quite satisfied with her performance. Ding Hong looked at the change in Ji Yuanmeng in amazement. He could not believe it. However, when he shifted his gaze away, he noticed a trace of loneliness and loneliness in her eyes from the corner of his eyes.

Bai Li still had his usual lukewarm expression, but escorting the ninth princess gave him a headache. If it weren’t for Zi’s insistence on him coming, he would have walked as far away as he could. Seeing that Ji Yuan had finished speaking, he replied, “Naturally, she will stay in the palace tonight. Tomorrow, I will come pick her up.”

“That’s how it should be.” Ji Yuanhang said.

Bai Li nodded and said, “Try to reduce the number of people in your entourage tomorrow.

Ji Xing Jian bowed and replied, “I will naturally listen to Teacher.”

Other than this, there was nothing else that needed to be done. Bai Li brought Ding Hong and left the palace. After the two of them left, Ji Xingjian and Ji Yuanmeng fell into silence. After which, Ji Xingjian returned to the side of the wooden table and began to review its contents.

Ji Yuanmeng stood there for a while. Perhaps she was bored, or perhaps she was tired, but she said, “Father, if there is nothing else, I will head down first.” After speaking, she retreated without waiting for Ji Xing Jian to speak.

“Jiu Meng, do you hate royal father in your heart?” Ji Xing Jian suddenly lowered his head and asked.

Ji Yuanmeng stopped and replied, “Jiu Meng wouldn’t dare.”

Ji Xing Jian also stopped writing. He raised his head and said, “Then your heart is still filled with hatred, right?”

After a long while, Ji Yuanmeng remained silent and just stood there.

“Go.” Ji Xing Jian was slightly exhausted.

“Yes, royal father.” Ji Yuanmeng saluted and left.

After seeing her leave, Ji Xingjian felt a sense of helplessness from head to toe. However, at the same time, he also started to radiate a certain amount of vitality. With a low and deep voice, he said alone, “A Meng, I’ve finally fulfilled my promise to you. Our child has finally escaped calamity …”

After Bai Li and Ding Hong left the Emperor Hall, they followed the main road and prepared to leave the palace. As they passed the plaza in front of the Imperial Palace, they happened to be passed by two of the patrolmen.

“Lord Li, the Suo Family really has a talent. If this Suo Bing was a man, then her revenge would be much more terrifying than it is now.” A short, fat young official said.

The slightly older one seemed to have been an official for a long time, and was slightly imposing as he snorted, “Which member of the Suo Family doesn’t offend? If you insist on offending the fourth prince, won’t you just be courting death? “But unfortunately, no one else is around, and Suo Bing was actually sent to the outer city on a donkey. Sigh.” As he spoke, he smacked his lips, as if trying to remember something.

“Isn’t that so? With Suo Bing’s appearance and figure, she’s even more beautiful than the Grand Princess. What a pity.”

When Ding Hong heard their conversation, he couldn’t help but frown. The donkey riding punishment was extremely malicious for women. They would strip naked and then ride on a small wooden pillar that simulated the male’s virginity. The essence of it was to use that wooden stake to pierce through a woman’s body. Putting aside face, just the pain alone was something that a normal person could endure.

There were even rumors saying that this criminal law was one of the 18 levels of hell.

Ding Hong came before them and clasped his hands, asking, “May I know what the two sirs are talking about just now?”

When the two officials saw him walk over to interrupt them, they felt a little displeased. It could be seen that his clothes were luxurious, especially so for his mask. There were probably only a few people who could walk boldly in the palace wearing such clothes. He hurriedly suppressed his temper and replied, “We were just discussing about the assassination attempt on the prince last night.”

Ding Hong continued, “Oh? Could the killer be that woman called Suo Bing? “I wonder which part of the Suo Family offended the Fourth Prince.”

These matters could not be told to anyone else, but these two officials were now interested. Thinking that this person’s status was definitely not low, the old official walked in and whispered, “The specific reason seems to be because of the Family Head of the Suo Family, Suo Wei. He impeached the Fourth Prince’s delicious taxes in the Nine Capital City, recklessly seizing the beauty of the clan. When the emperor heard this, he only punished the fourth prince. Afterwards, the fourth prince was still brooding over this matter, so he casually found a way to link the dots and plagiarize the entire Suo Family! “I just don’t know how this Suo Bing managed to escape.”

Hearing him say this, Ding Hong knew the sequence of events. He couldn’t help but feel indignant towards Suo Bing in his heart. He frowned and said, “But I don’t think what Suo Bing did was wrong.”

After those words were said, the two people who were originally in high spirits paused for a moment, then their faces changed greatly. The older person immediately shouted, “Who are you? You actually dare to look down on our Emperor’s might!”

The short and stout youth also received it. “Not bad. The emperor has already made his judgement on this matter. Why would you be the one to judge?!”

At this moment, the two of them were pleasantly surprised. They thought that this rash young man in front of them actually dared to speak up for Suo Bing. Wasn’t he openly opposing the Fourth Prince? Now that the fourth prince was so powerful, the two of them could also be considered to have contributed greatly. If they were sent to the fourth prince, they might even be able to obtain some benefits. They had quietly forgotten about it and could tell what the other party was thinking. They immediately felt reassured and wanted to call for the guards.

When Ding Hong heard these two people’s words, he immediately became angry. In his life, he hated people who could invert right and wrong, and even though his own experiences were different from Suo Bing’s, there were still some similarities. He suddenly had the thought that he had to save Su Bing.

Bai Li, who was beside him, naturally saw the entire process. He originally thought it was nothing, but when he noticed Ding Hong’s anger, he suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but ponder.

Just as the short and stout youth opened his mouth and was about to shout, his Adam’s apple started to swell.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his neck, silencing his words. It was Ding Hong who had reached out his hand to pinch his neck. When the senior official saw this, his heart was filled with terror. Just as he was about to shout out, Ding Hong’s other hand also grabbed onto his neck.

Ding Hong did not know why, but he felt an irrepressible rage and resentment from his body that directed him to do so.

“What’s the use of leaving you in the mortal world if you don’t know what’s the right and wrong!” He exerted all his strength, wanting to strangle the two of them to death.

However, as his strength increased, he also felt another force obstructing him. The moment this energy appeared, Bai Li’s expression changed.

“Long time no see, Young Master Jin.” Ji Tai slowly walked over from the palace. With a wave of his right hand, the two people in Ding Hong’s hands instantly felt their throats loosen. They hurriedly moved far away, not daring to say another word.

“Do you think I should call you Young Master Jin or Young Master Feng? Golden butterflies. ” Jitai had always remembered the name that Zhong introduced him to, the Golden Butterfly.

Bai Li walked over to Ding Hong and patted his shoulder. Ding Hong’s entire body originally had an extremely uncomfortable power that was bothering him. After being patted by Bai Li, that power actually disappeared in an instant. Bai Li retracted his hand and said slowly, “Ji Tai.”

Ji Tai smiled as he looked at Bai Li, “Oh, Bai Li, long time no see.” At this moment, Madam Ji was wearing embroidered dragon robes. The two officials could tell that he was someone from the royal family at a glance. They didn’t dare to say anything as they stood behind him without saying a word.

Bai Li glanced at him for a few moments before suddenly turning around and leaving.

“Xiaofeng, let’s go.”

After Ding Hong was slapped by Bai Li, he gradually dissipated, obstructing his own strength and the resentment in his body. He glanced at Ji Tai, but didn’t say anything. He then followed Bai Li and left the palace.

Ding Hong stood at the entrance of the palace and suddenly said, “I want to save Suo Bing.”

Bai Li also stopped. Without turning his head, he asked, “Why?”

“No reason.” Ding Hong also did not understand why he had such a thought. It was because he felt that there was no need for a reason. It was just a thought in his mind.

The current Ding Hong could be said to no longer have any family members in this world. He only wanted to do things according to his heart. He didn’t want to shock the world, he only wanted to be worthy of himself.

“The fourth prince, Ji Xingjian, is one of Ji Yuanhang’s most beloved sons.”

“So what? Didn’t you say that the status of my son, Tribulation, is above that of the Emperor’s? ”

Bai Li suddenly turned around and said, “Everyone in the Ji Clan cultivates a Mysterious Technique, which is to collect Yin Qi from a virgin. Although the cultivation of Ji Xing Jian doesn’t have an unparalleled mastery, he can still be considered a person of high cultivation.”

“So?” Ding Hong really did not know what Bai Li wanted to say.

Bai Li stared at him for a long time before speaking, “Do you know what Zi had told me back then?”

Ding Hong was a little curious. “What words?”

Bai Li suddenly felt a tinge of emotion. An ancient feeling flowed out from his body. That feeling was very natural, without the slightest affectation. It was like an old man who had arrived at the end of his days in the mortal world, comprehending the feelings of his past and present life.

“The relationship between you and Madam Ji will eventually be broken off.”
