Chapter 112: The Stone Tablets Speak Not
w if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!There was only a slightly overweight old man, slumped on the steps of the front porch. His eyes were vacant, looking much older than when last s...Du Yexi didn't care what Du Ruhui thought, just like this damned imperial court never cared about Duan Li's thoughts or the thoughts of the people in Fenglin City.
Lin Zhengren's ability to say this in public means he has completely broken with Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui, with no possibility of reconciliation.
From now on, one side must be wiped out. Because the true history of Maple Forest City can only have one version.
He then ignored Lin Zhengren and ordered, "Schools One and Two, go and seal off the Treasury! No one, nothing is allowed in or out! Dan Junwei, you lead people to suppress officials and forbid them from acting. Anyone who disobeys shall be killed without mercy. Yang Yin, you personally lead a team into the palace and help me search for the imperial jade seal!"
Years of battle experience had already given him a full understanding of the cruelty of war.
Duan Li's generous teaching also helped him grow into a qualified general.
Jiang Wang chose to take action today, so today is a day of no turning back!
He didn't dwell on how Zhuang Gaoxian or Jiang Wang were doing. He only knew he had to do everything he could. As Lin Zhengren said —
For those who died with a grievance!
At this time, the entire King Zhuang's palace was already in chaos.

The palace maids and eunuchs trembled or fled in panic.
Within the deep palace, there were certainly some so-called "master of the inner court." But none had attained divine enlightenment. In today's new An City, how could they be considered masters
> There were even four divine appearances that besieged Du Ruhui!
There is also one named "King of Equality" suppressing the dragon veins.
Run for your life!
There is only one option left: to escape.
In the vast New An City, many people were waiting for Zhuang Gaoxian, waiting for their king to return and restore order. This hero who revitalized the nation held great prestige within the country. Even with prominent figures like Du Yexi, a national military commander, rebelling and individuals like Lin Zhengren, a young and upright leader, openly criticizing him, it was impossible for them to shake his resolve in a day or two.
The event happened suddenly, under the suppression of a strong army, they could only wait.
But they could definitely not wait, or rather, what they waited for was definitely not what they wanted.
After the shattered palace gates, people panicked but dared not make a sound. Only stifled sobs, broken and low, could be heard.
And the Queen, Zhuang Gaoxian, who had no presence at all, led her timid Prince along as fierce soldiers drove them towards Du Yexi.
A school lieutenant from Jiujiang Xuanjia knelt half before Du Yexiao: "General, I have brought the emperor's wife and children. How shall we dispose of them"
At this point, they realized things were not as simple as they seemed.
Xincheng fell easily, and Du Ruhui was driven away like a frightened chicken.
All officials were silent,
and the Baiyu army was as still as a cicada in winter.
What a wise ruler
Now that the dynasty is changing, it's easier for the sun and moon to switch places!
>
To be granted a new title, one must submit a pledge of loyalty!
The blood relatives of a tyrant without virtue are the most important card.
>
But Du Yexiao only glanced at the terrified woman and boy, waving his hand: "The guilty have their own heads to answer for. One person's crime does not implicate their family. I will not kill you, just go and flee for your lives!"
The deposed Empress Dowager Zhuang and the Crown Prince Zhuang, abandoned by their former emperor, dared not speak a word and fled in panic towards the outer city.
They stumbled and swayed, their movements unsteady and panicked, yet they failed to notice what lay ahead.
Of course, noticing it was too late.

Ahead, a gigantic gaping maw of blood opened abruptly, swallowing them who tried to escape with ease!
At first glance, it seems like this mother and child, in a hurry, ran into a bloody cave.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
After that, rocks fell from the mountain cave and it has been closed ever since.
Only the crunching sound, crisp and powerful, could be heard as both individuals were chewed to pieces!
This gaping maw, still chewing relentlessly, rose rapidly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then they saw clearly that the monstrous blood-soaked fiend had crawled up from the ground.
It was about five feet high and one foot wide, with bulging veins and knotted muscles.
As it chewed, fresh blood trickled from the corner of its mouth. It also extended its long, barbed tongue, greedily lapping up the blood.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Lin Zhengren was standing right above the head of this blood fiend.
Still with that gentle and elegant demeanor, it formed a huge contrast with the ferocious blood demon.
Their garments fluttered in the wind as they stood tall, but with a furrowed brow, they said: "Brother Ye Hu, what are you thinking! The bloodline of the tyrant emperor, born a cursed child, how can we let him go and cause havoc in the future! As for this woman, needless to say, she has shared the same bed as the tyrant, who knows how much evil she's been tainted with. Killing her would bring countless benefits and no harm! For the sake of the common people, we must not be merciful!"
Those who possess supernatural powers, regardless of their character, have always been met with suspicion and fear.
But Lin Zhengren was an exception.
Such a fierce divine ability did not affect his image of an upright and virtuous gentleman.
He has a famous saying that is widely circulated: "I use righteousness to subdue evil spirits, and then the world will no longer hear of evil spirits."
Even killing one's wife and children at this time would be like acting on behalf of Heaven.
This is a test.
Du Yehu wasn't a kind man. Seeing the carnage, he simply raised his hand, unleashing the might of the Evil Tiger Strike, halting the spectral figures of the Shaking Ghosts who were trying to flee into the palace. "Since I have killed their wives and children, the rest needn't suffer the same fate!"
Lin Zhengren glanced at him, not knowing whether he was guarding against him taking advantage of the chaos to steal the jade seal or if he was truly soft-hearted. But he simply said loudly, "Good! You and I are truly like-minded! We righteous masters fight for the common people of the world. We only punish the main culprit and will never harm the innocent!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Du Yexi had no more to say. He took his men and hurried towards the main tower of the city-protecting great formation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
All high-ranking officials in the Zhuang nation knew that Zhuang Gao had been preparing for a national defense array for several years. Resources were being gathered piece by piece, and while it was still only half-finished, the core royal capital array was already quite powerful, enough to serve as a decisive factor at a critical moment.
This time, Jiujiang Xuanjia entered the city and also paralyzed the city-protecting formation in advance. Now he wants to completely erase the possibility of Zhuang Gaoxian returning to Zhuang Guo after he reactivated it.
Lin Zhengren understood eradicating evil as cutting off the roots, if he could exterminate an entire family, he would. His understanding of eradicating evil was similar to Jiang Wang's—killing all suspense and eliminating any possibility of resistance from the opponent.
At the moment when this devil chewed on the flesh, Du Ruhui's eyes split with blood!
“Lin Zhengren!”
He roared in a hoarse voice.
Such deep sorrow fills my heart at this moment!
He devoted his whole life to fighting for the Zhuang Kingdom. He always remembered Emperor Ren's entrustment, to protect the Zhuang Kingdom and create a better nation.
When Zhuang Gaoqian was still unsteady on his feet, it was he who personally ascended the dragon throne.
This generation's Crown Prince of the Zhuang Kingdom, he also watched him grow up. Even with national affairs being busy, he would still keep an eye on the Crown Prince, fearing that his abilities were insufficient, his schemes shallow, and he couldn't bear the future of the Zhuang Kingdom.
But today, right before his eyes, Lin Zhengren murdered the future emperor of Zhuang Guo.
Easier than killing a dog!
However, he didn't even have the qualification to ignite anger. Under the siege of hell gates and Yama Kings, how could he have any space for sadness
He had already traveled to every corner of Xin'an City, but there was no one he could escape or defeat. His spirit was waning, and new injuries covered old ones.
At this moment, he glared fiercely, forcefully breaking through the blood in his heart. He endured a claw strike from the Swallow Hawk, letting his back be torn open with a deep wound that exposed his bone. With a twist of his body, he took a step forward and stood before Lin Zhengren.
This is a response to your request.
In the sudden terror of his eyes, a hand clamped onto his neck, dragging him back, away from the raging, monstrous blood fiend, and away from the entire city!
Not even the Empress or the Crown Prince could save him.
He couldn't even protect Xincheng.
He feels sorry for today's son, failing the benevolent Emperor.
But now, this country still needs him.
He has to stay useful and do useful things.
...But before that... he had to kill Lin Zhengren!
He has never been so angry!!!
"Darn it!"
When Du Ruhui pounced before him, Lin Zhengren's first thought flashed in his mind.
He didn't expect that by simply submitting a letter of surrender and eliminating all resistance, he could drive the cunning Duke Du Ruhui to madness. He had assumed that due to the strategic importance of Xinan City, Du Ruhui would be held here until his death—that was the only thing he could do at this point.
But now Du Ruhui has actually abandoned the Xin'an City!
Even before abandoning Xin'an City, he still couldn't resist taking Lin Zhengren prisoner.
>
What the hell! Who is the main force! Who raised the rebellion!
To just leave the tiger of Du Yuhou alone and not seize the Jade Seal Has Du Ruhui gone mad
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Lin Zhengren felt extremely stifled and couldn't understand or believe it!
Beyond that thought, however, was his fire-and-brimstone will to survive.
There wouldn't be anyone in this world to save him, so he had to protect himself with all his might and fight tooth and nail against anyone who wanted to kill him!
He could endure anything, including humiliation.
But cannot stand danger.
He can give anything, including dignity.
But don't kill him!
Life and death often hinge on a single thought.
But for Lin Zhengren, ever since that Yellow River meeting, he had been in danger all the time.
He said that Du Yexu should understand him, and it was not all empty words. Over the years, he had also, like Du Yexu, been working hard to show his value in order to save his life.
Today's Zhuang Guo is cold, and everyone is fearful.
Dù Ruhui gripped Lín Zhèngrén's neck, intending to kill him on the spot. However, as he tightened his grip, a five-element glow erupted from Lín Zhèngrén's neck.
On that narrow neck, a line of five tumor-like bumps protruded.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The ghosts have various appearances and make five expressions: joy, anger, sorrow, grief, and happiness.
Actually, there are the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth! Five Ghosts Sealing the Neck!
The outcome greatly surprised Du Ruhui.
What a guilty conscience! What terrible things has he done He's so afraid of people finding out!
Du Ruhui failed to strangle Lin Zhengren to death, only managing to grip his neck and continue fighting the Five Ghosts. After that, he left Xin'an City, fleeing while killing!
Xincheng is beyond saving now. All he can do is inform Zhuang Gaoxian of the situation within the country, so that he doesn't abruptly return and suffer misfortune without warning.
When mountains and rivers are in turmoil, only the Son of Heaven can save the country.
>
Of course, there were some secret communication methods between monarchs and their ministers, but he had tried them before, and the transmission channels had been blocked by King Chu Jiang.
At this moment, the only one who can communicate, the only one he can rely on, is himself!
Having decided to leave, one must hasten one's steps.
Even that vicious bird of prey had the ability to teleport, though not as far as across mountains and oceans. Still, it relentlessly pursued him, greatly reducing his options for escape.
What's worse...this swallow is unkillable!
This is a placeholder for text that would normally go here.
It was during the process of killing the swallow that he was seriously injured by King Chu Jiang. Thinking it was a choice to trade injuries for space, but when he turned his head, the bird cried out again, "Swallow! Swallow! Swallow!"
Below lay the thousands of miles of Zhanguo's mountains and rivers, and ahead was Taixu Mountain Gate, where a grand alliance of the world would be convened.

Upon seeing the emperor, he immediately had him contact Yu Jing Mountain urgently. He sensed that even with Zhuang Gao Xian's true person strength, it would be difficult to reverse the situation and there was a danger of being targeted and killed. After all, Xin An had been lost now, the country was in decline, and the empress, prince, and general were all unfortunate!
But as long as Mount Yujing takes action in time, all problems will cease to be problems.
It's just that the emperor and his ministers in Yujing Mountain are more tightly bound, and the country provides more offerings to Yujing Mountain... As long as the country is stable, everything is worth it!
Du Ruhui was filled with rage, racking his brain for a solution while furiously bombarding Lin Zhengren with insults.
Although my body is badly wounded, killing a small outsider wouldn't be difficult.
Lin Zhengren could hold his breath for three or five breaths, which was already amazing.
He wasn't planning on killing them either.
He doesn't do anything that won't help the situation.
Kill him, just kill him...
I only regret that I didn't start sooner!
This treacherous devil, a disgrace to his clan who brought about its ruin, is utterly unworthy of belief!
"I said, why didn't you strike sooner"
At this moment, Du Ruhui heard a mournful sound, like the voice of his own heart.
>
But the voice came from under his own hand.
He looked down.
Being dragged out of Zhuangguo like a dead dog, Lin Zhengren found himself embraced by a pair of gaunt, brown-spotted ghostly hands.
And then there is a second pair, a third pair...
A horde of ghostly hands reached out to grab him.
Du Ruhui's broken golden statue could no longer withstand further damage.
>
He instinctively wanted to mobilize the power of the state to suppress it, but the turbulent state responded with a barely perceptible tremor.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered that his seal was left at the Xiangfu. He had been entrusted with managing it by Li Jianqiu during this period... But when chaos broke out in Xincheng, the Xiangfu had also closed its doors!
More gloom arose in my heart.
Previously, he did not use the Xiang Yin seal to avoid depleting national strength and also to keep Li Jianqiu, a promising young talent, hidden. He was also preoccupied with defending himself against the siege of the Hell Gate's Yama Killers. Now, there was no need to worry about national strength. He forcibly urged the divine light to protect his body, suppressing the ghost hand, while simultaneously calling out for Zhuang Xiang's seal!
At a certain moment, he seemed to transcend mountains and rivers, seeing the man sitting cross-legged before the main hall desk in the Xiangfu manor, a sword resting across his knees.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Li Jianqiu!
He used to be a handsome and charming man, but after arriving in Xin'an, he became increasingly taciturn. After Dong A's death, he grew even more somber, reticent in speech but astute in action... He had almost become his chosen successor as prime minister!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The seal was placed in a square jade box, which was then set upon the long table before him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Answer me in kind!!!"
Du Ruhui cried out in his heart.
Don't let me down, Li Jianqiu!
Boom boom boom, that large seal of the Grand Minister, vibrated inside the jade box, about to break free. Its brilliance had already spread outwards.
Li Jianqiu raised his hand and placed his sword on the jade box. In an instant, the atmosphere fell silent!
Here is the text translated into English:>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The print is for Xiangguo, the sword is for peach branches.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Today, the peach branch is used to pacify the country!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Du Ruhui saw that Li Jianqiu was sitting in that familiar Xiangfu, looking down at the jade box, as if through this jade box and the Prime Minister's seal, he was staring at him.
Du Ruhui heard this, Li Jianqiu said in a soft and slow voice: "Grand Tutor, everything must prioritize the country. This is what you taught me, and also what Master Dong reminded me to remember at the last moment."

His voice was measured, indeed bearing the air of a future national leader: "I believe I am making the choices you expect me to make."
Hey you!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If the Son of Heaven loses his position, the state will cease to be a state! How can one say that the state of Zhuang is paramount
An ingrate is no match for Dong A-yuan!
Du Ruhui was furious, but Taohua drew her sword. With a flash of steel, the fragile connection was severed!
He vented his anger onto Lin Zhengren, ignoring his exhaustion. Dao Yuan urged his power with all his might, unleashing a five-element thunder attack with one hand!
The five aggregates are form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness. With these five aggregates as thunderbolts, strike down all demons!
There was almost only the sound of thunder, and the person held in his palm had already lost their breath. Their body was charred black like coal, countless demons, dissipated as black smoke.
Du Ruhui relaxed his five fingers, ready to drop the corpse and continue to find Zhuang Gaoxian to deliver a message.
But from this charred corpse, a ghostly hand suddenly reached out.
Pale white, damp!
...and just happened to fit into the crack, seizing his hand.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Their two hands intertwined, with an unusual intimacy!
Du Ruhui was startled, he drew his hand back, but found himself unable to let go of the clammy ghostly hand!
The charred corpse lay fragmented like scattered remnants.
Emerging from his grasp, was a ghost drenched in water, its features shifting and contorting to resemble Lin Zhengren with a mere twist of its face!
The evil ghost black smoke that permeated heaven and earth frantically converged towards him, causing his aura to continuously rise, shockingly impacting the boundary between heaven and man!
His smile was still the traditional, upright and virtuous kind, but his voice had inevitably grown much colder: “Duke Du, isn’t this day something you’ve been looking forward to for a long time”
Due to distrust of Lin Zhengren, Zhuang Gaoxian personally took action and planted a Soul-Binding Cord around his neck before Lin Zhengren's diplomatic missions to various countries.
After Lin Zhengren returned, Zhuang Gaoxian no longer mentioned the matter, and Lin Zhengren seemed to have forgotten it as well.
Du Ruhui understood that since Lin Zhengren dared to openly betray, he must have already figured out a solution.
Therefore, he never even considered using a spirit binding rope.
But he hadn't expected that Lin Zhengren would use this kind of escape method!
It's no wonder he had been waiting for Lin Zhengren to reach the brink of transcendence, intending to strike him down. However, Lin Zhengren’s cultivation seemed to have stagnated!
To resist the ever-present pressure of death, Lin Zhengren had prepared to abandon his physical body from the very beginning.
Having refined the Devouring Water Ghost into his Taoist body, he ascended to a new level at this crucial moment, transforming into a ghost cultivator!
If there were no events today, even if Lin Zhengren had this ability and rose to the peak of power, Du Ruhui would still be confident in eliminating him.
But today...
The country's wealth and power were depleted, its golden foundation shattered.
My body is severely wounded, my spirit weary!
Du Ruhui's gaze went past the water ghost, staring somewhat absentmindedly at the mountains and rivers below.
What a beautiful country... He fought for it his whole life, the place he loved so much!
Suddenly, his gaze stopped.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He saw the barrenness amidst the beautiful mountains and rivers, and he saw a towering stone stele standing on the wasteland.
>
Stele commemorating the hundreds of thousands of souls from Fenglin City who perished.
The stone tablet remains silent.
This chapter is four thousand nine hundred, almost five thousand words.
