Repugnant Gateway Chapter 170

An Zhan listened quietly as he pieced together the fragmented memories in his mind.

Back then, when he was on the mountain, he felt the aura of a great battle and immediately rushed over. From afar, he saw a group of experts besieging a chariot.

That chariot was the chariot used by Prince Chen of the Great Xi, and this chariot had been modified according to the original design. That was why An Zhe was so anxious at that moment.

Chen Xinjie was his friend, his brother.

After so many years in the Da Xi city, if there weren't any heavy equipment, it would be very difficult for An Zhe to do many things.

His personality was supposed to be tough, full of hatred towards evil, so he had offended too many people in the Da Xi.

It helped him a lot to get some of the people he couldn't bring to justice immediately.

In his mind, Chen Zhong was his family.

Thus, at that instant, An Zhe did not consider anything else. Like an angry dragon descending from the sky, he charged over.

With a single punch, he forced the people surrounding the chariot to retreat. Then, he shouted out, ""Don't panic, I'm coming!""

He landed in front of the chariot like a peerless war G.o.d.

At that moment, all the people surrounding the chariot retreated involuntarily.

That was not a planned plot, but rather an argument that was too forceful.

The experts who surrounded the chariot knew very well that not a single one of them could withstand a single strike from An Zaihai.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the chariot and struck An Zaiyi's back.

An Zeng's body swayed for a moment, and his breath became chaotic.

At the same time, a ma.s.s of black fog burst out from the carriage and engulfed An Zeng.

In an instant, there was nothing in An Ying's eyes. His eyes were burning with pain, and blood was dripping from the corners of his eyes.

The people who had ambushed him before knew that once he missed this opportunity, there would be no next time. With his current strength, there was no room for him to retaliate.

As a result, that person immediately rushed out of the chariot after succeeding in his one move, chopping down the back of An Zeng's neck with the magic tool in his hand.

An Zaihai's neck was almost cut open, so much so that his head was hanging on the other side of the battle.

Even so, more than a third of the besiegers were killed in that war.

This scene appeared in his mind once again, and the atmosphere of the struggle for peace was no longer stable.

On that day, the rain was pouring down in the vast and desolate mountain, and he had travelled thousands of miles to save his best friend.

Yet, he had been ambushed and besieged within the mountains. That vicious battle had nearly destroyed that mountain range.

Although several years had pa.s.sed, every time he thought about it, An Zhe couldn't understand why Chen Zhong would do such a thing.

Li Changlu's voice pulled An Zeng back from his memories, reminding him that it was all over.

""Empress Dowager Su knows that it's impossible for her own strength to satisfy her desires. She'd already lost her favor in Zhao, but due to her viciousness and tyranny, Zhao w.a.n.g and the empress were already extremely disappointed in her.

At that time, the wife of the King Yan died, so King Zhao sent people to Yan Guo to complete the marriage. ""

Li Changlu continued, ""Empress Dowager Su wholeheartedly wishes to destroy the State of Zhao, but she doesn't dare to show it.

Most of the people she brought back from the State of Zhao were people that Zhao w.a.n.g didn't like.

""So these people share the same mission as Empress Dowager Su. Empress Dowager Su has more trust in them than I do.""

He sighed. ""For some reason, Empress Dowager Su trusted me more and more, but I still have many details I don't know about what happened a few years ago.""

An Xuan asked, ""Who else do you know besides Zhuge Liuyun?""

Li Changlu replied, ""Actually, it's a coincidence that you know that Zhuge Liuyun partic.i.p.ated in this matter. Basically, the officials who knew about this matter were already removed by the empress dowager.""

""The reason why I didn't do anything to Zhuge Liuyun was because Zhuge Liuyun is extremely powerful in cultivation, and has certain attainments in poison … When the former crown prince was killed, it was the poison Zhuge Liuyun concocted.""

An Zhan frowned slightly as he thought of Mu Changyan's poison.

From some indications, Zhuge Liuyun and Mu Changyan were rather close.

That was why the empress dowager had sent people to keep an eye on Zhuge Liuyun's small courtyard. However, didn't Mu Changyan know that it was Zhuge Liuyun who poisoned his older brother back then?

If he knew, Mu Changyan's thoughts would be terrifying.

For his own sake, he could cooperate with his enemies.

Li Changlu said, ""Second, the empress dowager needs Zhuge Liuyun.""

Zhuge Liuyun's medical expertise was even greater than his cultivation.

""The empress dowager loved beauty and wanted to stay young, so she couldn't leave Zhuge Liuyun.""

""However, the empress dowager also knows that Zhuge Liuyun has been very close with the King recently.""

""So she also wanted to kill Zhuge Liuyun. If it wasn't because of You You's sudden attack during the negotiation, the empress dowager might have already made her move.""

An Yue nodded. ""Zhuge Liuyun only leaned towards Duke Yan because he felt the empress dowager's killing intent towards him.""

Li Changlu shook his head. ""It's useless. In fact, the empress dowager knows most of the things that the Duke of Yan did in private.""

Even the empress dowager knew that the Duke of Yan had secretly recruited a large group of young cultivators.

The reason the empress dowager didn't make a move was because the Duke of Yan's actions posed no threat to her at all … Don't forget, the empress dowager held the accusation of several experts of the Small Perfect Stage or even the Great Perfection Stage in her hands.

""With these experts working for the empress dowager, so what if the Duke of Yan struggles?""

""I'm not interested in these things. Tell me who else.""

Li Changlu said, ""Originally, the first person the empress dowager wanted to win over was Grand General Iron Liuhuo.""

But Fang's confidant did not care about the Empress, for he was a haughty and indifferent man, and had little interest in power.

Besides, with his power and cultivation base, the empress dowager had no way out.

Therefore, the empress dowager can only squeeze aside her confidants without daring to make a move. ""

Ang nodded. ""So Fang's confidant didn't partic.i.p.ate?""

Li Changlu said, ""I don't know about that. The empress dowager mentioned it once, saying that if Fang Zhiyi had left earlier, it wouldn't have been so difficult.""

""That means that Fang Zhiyi must have gone there, but whether he partic.i.p.ated or not is unknown.""

""Who else?""

""There's one I can confirm, one I can't confirm.""

After pondering for a moment, Li Changlu said, ""Actually, there is a supreme expert overseeing the Heavenly Temple. Legend has it that he is the top ranker of the Great Yan Dynasty.""

Even Fang Zhiyi might not be able to beat him, but this person had always been in closed door cultivation and almost no one had seen him before.

Last time, when Ethereal Opening attacked Extreme Heaven Palace, he released a stone essence spirit.

""The person who captured this stone essence spirit was that supreme expert.""

An Zaixin said that it was just a projection of the formation, not a real person.

It seemed like Li Changlu wasn't very strong in terms of cultivation, so he couldn't tell if it was a shadow or a real person.

Li Changlu continued, ""I don't know who this person is, but it's hard to say for sure who he was.""

However, with his strength, he shouldn't have stood idly by.

""After all, if Fang Danyi were to fight for victory instead of defeat, then it would be a disaster to the Great Yan.""

""What about the other one …"" An Xuan asked.

""Yes …""

Li Changlu glanced at An Zeng with a strange look in his eyes, ""It's the boss of the Gathering Shang Academy, the boss of Swallow Mountain's Green Forest Road, known as the Tiger of Swallow Mountain, Reunion City.""

An Zhe's heart shook violently. It was as if a bolt of lightning struck his mind.

His body involuntarily swayed a little, then he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

Li Changlu said, ""You have a good relations.h.i.+p with the Gathering Shang Academy. It seems that you don't know about the matter of killing your family, and the Gathering Shang Academy is also involved in this.""

""Hahahaha … Looking at how uncomfortable your expression is, I suddenly feel a lot happier.""

His queen leaned forward and seemed to recover a little. ""Do you know why the Gathering Shang Academy is so special in the army?""

It wasn't because of that Zhuang Feifei.

""Zhuang Feifei has some brains and knows how to do things, but the reason why she's able to maintain her current position in the Trade Gathering Academy is all because the City isn't dead yet.""

""The Advent City used to be the boss of the 19 villages on Swallow Mountain. The 19 villages' over 10,000 men were all convinced by the city.""

With a single sentence, the tens of thousands of bandits would rush down from Swallow Mountain like a flood.

So up until now, the Military Department didn't dare to chase Zhuang Fei Fei Fei away from the position of the Great Master of the Gathering Merchant Shop. ""

""Back then, the Military Minister, Hao Ping, had entered Swallow Mountain alone and met with the 19th Village's General Manager, Li Huayi, at the City Meet. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….

Reunion City was convinced by Hao Ping's imposing manner and was moved by his sincerity, so they agreed to lead their troops to surrender.

""However, we left behind at least five thousand men at Swallow Mountain.""

""The Legion City descends into the capital, bringing with it five or six thousand good men from the Green Forest Road to join the Yan Army.

At least a few hundred of the army's frightful iron streams of fire were from the Jianghu who had descended from the Swallow Mountain.

""Therefore, even though the fate of the city is unclear, the influence on the Infantry Division is still very great.""

An Zhan remained silent for a long time. He felt that his throat had relaxed a little before asking, ""What happened in the a.s.sembly city?""

Li Changlu said, ""In the battle on Swallow Mountain, the Advent City was the only one who did not die after rus.h.i.+ng up to fight against Fang.""

At that time, Fang Zhan was already seriously injured.

However, the city was still not a match for him, so he was beaten badly.

""However, I never would have thought that this guy would be this strong. Even after wasting so many years, he still hasn't died.""

An Zeng felt a sweet taste in his throat. It was the smell of blood rus.h.i.+ng up from his throat.

""That's right … He stayed alive even after enduring for so many years.""

An Zeng smiled bitterly.

Since the city wasn't dead, there must be merit in the struggle.

It could even be said that the city was gradually becoming better, and the struggle for peace had played a crucial role.

In order to help Zhuang Feifei, An Zhe had gathered all the medicinal herbs for her.

An Zaiyue didn't expect that the person he had saved was actually one of his enemies.

Zhuang Fei Fei Fei definitely knew why they had joined the guild in the first place.

But how should he face Zhuang Feifei?

Ask her?

Suddenly, An Zhe felt that it was somewhat absurd and somewhat laughable.

Li Changlu's voice was still ringing in An Zhe's ears, but An Zhe's heart was already in chaos.

""What?""

Feeling bad?

Ha hha ha … … An Zou, you are still too young.

You are so close to the Gathering Merchant House, and your relations.h.i.+p with Zhuang Fei Fei Fei is unclear. You really didn't expect her man to be one of your enemies.

Even if I die, you won't be happy. ""

Li Changlu sneered, ""I really want to live until then and see how you attack Zhuang Feifei.""

An Zhan rose. ""Tell me what secrets are hidden in the brocade palace.""

Li Changlu said, ""Aren't you not interested?""

""I just don't want you to die too easily. I'll spit out everything you know before I kill you. That's why I'm making full use of your worth.""

Li Changlu said, ""The brocade palace concealed... is an army.""

That's all I know, but it's a pity.

I originally wanted to recover my full body, and then kill Su Qing to warm that b * tch up.

Let her give me a child, and that child will inherit the throne of the Great Swallow.

""The King of Yan killed my entire family, so I took his family property!""

Without waiting for Li Changlu to continue speaking, An Zhe's hand gripped Li Changlu's neck.

A cracking sound was heard as Li Changlu's neck was ripped open. Blood spurted out of the wound and splattered all over his body.

The smell of blood was so strong, but it could not resist the smell of blood in An Zaihai's throat.
