"Amitabha!"
Liao Kong suddenly spoke, clasping his hands together and bowing slightly. "Consort Xuan, please remain calm. I, Liao Kong, have a question to ask. I humbly request the Immortal Master to enlighten me."
"Hah!"
Ye Kai smirked slightly. "What do you want to ask? Is it about the current situation of Master Feixuan's biological father, Stone Pavilion? Or do you want to ask on behalf of the people whether Kou Zhong is truly the fairest choice for the emperor?"
"If those are your two questions, then you can forget them. You could use the humanitarian treasure, He Shi Bi, to stage a 'replacement selection' play. Why can't This Sect single-handedly elevate Kou Zhong to the throne?"
"Or do you have confidence that your chosen emperor is stronger than the one supported by This Sect, and can lead the people out of war and into a life of happiness and peace sooner?"
"Hmph! A bunch of shortsighted and selfish individuals who do not strive for progress. Instead, you incite the ignorant masses to hoard vast lands. This Sect will ask you: how much has your temple spent? How much grain do you have stored? If you were to exchange the gilded Buddha statue in your main hall for food, how many disaster-stricken people could it help survive?"
"This Sect will further inquire: why did the two daughters passed down from Bixiu Xin to Stone Pavilion and Compassionate Voyage Quiet Abode choose different paths? How did Stone Pavilion become so deranged?"
"Evil King Shizhi Xuan fell into madness due to the conflict between Buddha and demon techniques, compounded by Bixiu Xin's death, leading him to a state of despair for twenty years without knowing the whereabouts of his own daughters. Similarly, Yang Guang suffered through such experiences!"
"Buddha and demon dual cultivation! Hah, This Sect believes that striking at enemies is not necessarily a despicable act. As the saying goes, 'In warfare, deception is key.' Stone Pavilion's encounter with 'emotional tribulation' is merely a struggle between differing paths and ideologies."
"What about Yang Guang's fate? He merely did not wish to be a puppet emperor; he was dissatisfied with your manipulation behind the scenes, yet he ended up suffering greatly. Is this what it means to be an emperor?"
"But you lot should not enjoy the incense offerings from millions while watching chaos unfold, leading countless soldiers and civilians to their deaths."
"Why did Yang Guang fail in his three campaigns? Was there not any encouragement from you behind the scenes? Is This Sect wrongfully accusing you?"
"Living in Huaxia, raised in Huaxia, with countless citizens offering their prayers—what have you done? For hundreds of years, you have deceived ignorant mortals under the guise of compassion, ultimately seeking to maximize your own interests!"
"The lives and deaths of the common people are merely talking points in your eyes."
"Hah, replacement selection—what are you replacing? Can you truly represent the people?"
"Filthy parasites, do not challenge This Sect's patience with your ignorance. If provoked, This Sect will cleanse this world thoroughly and restart the cycle."
"Those who eat from both sides should all roll away. This Sect warns you once more: behave yourself under the ancient lamp and Buddha. If any inappropriate thoughts arise again, This Sect will sever your Western teachings' incense offerings in this world."
"Get out of here!!!"
Ye Kai had been extremely displeased with Compassionate Voyage Quiet Abode and Silent Meditation Zen Temple for a long time. Well, just because the tiger doesn't show its might doesn't mean I'm a sick cat!
Looking at the pale-faced representatives from various factions, drenched in sweat, he shouted again, "Listen up, everyone! From today onwards, This Sect will send people to patrol all corners. If you continue to do nothing and harbor any ill intentions, This Sect will grant your wish—take a trip to hell!"
"Boom!!!"
With a deep explosive sound, Hope's massive steel body made its first appearance before the crowd.
Blue scanning beams swept repeatedly over the people, causing those already terrified to drop to the ground in shock.
"Is that Kunpeng?"
"Ah! A monster!!!"
"Wait, there really is a monster!"
"How is this possible!"
...
No matter how shocked the crowd was, Ye Kai had already formulated a plan for what to do next and didn't want to waste any more time. He directly began to archive the data of everyone present.
He was determined to completely extinguish the flames of war in this world. In fact, he had already thought it through: universal cultural education should be implemented, and technology along with magical runes and martial arts should be made compulsory subjects in a nine-year mandatory education system.
Noble families?
Bah!
Whoever dares to stick their neck out will be dealt with decisively. There can be no more leniency; otherwise, who knows how long this group will continue to stir up trouble.
You don't accept it?
"Alright, I don't need your services. Anyone from the noble families will never be employed. I want to see what you can still fight for!"
"Armed resistance?"
"Under the power of the Hengneng Cannon, I want to see who dares to resist!"
"If you provoke me, I'll simply eliminate all those troublemakers and even wipe out these noble families entirely. At worst, I can cultivate new talents. As long as it brings stability to this world, any sacrifice is necessary."
Ha!
Thinking this way, Ye Kai suddenly laughed out loud. "Yang Guang, stop standing there like a fool. Today, this Sect grants you a Bronze Golden Armor." Looking at Yang Guang, who seemed hesitant to speak, he laughed and scolded, "Don't think this Sect can't see that your time is running out. Is this even a matter? Just eat it!"
He casually tossed a pure Life Crystal energy orb to Yang Guang. Even if he only had one breath left, consuming it would ensure he would be lively in half an hour.
As for who were the most famous figures among the Tang Dynasty Twin Dragons, Ye Kai had once made a list and ranked them.
Yet the most perplexing person among them was undoubtedly a certain emperor.
This guy was simply the most stubborn, wealthiest, and most willful representative—none other than Yang Guang, the one who opened the Grand Canal.
However, Ye Kai didn't care how history judged him; the person before him was indeed a character worth noting. So he straightforwardly took out the Capricorn Bronze Cloth.
Although this guy had changed drastically due to being schemed against and had become cruel and tyrannical like Shizi Xuan—a lunatic—he still loved Huaxia deeply. Thus, he took out the Capricorn Bronze Cloth without hesitation.
As for those still lurking in the shadows, Ye Kai wasn't in a hurry; after all, they couldn't escape his grasp. It didn't matter whether it was sooner or later.
Now, he was preparing to establish numerous schools in this world.
With millions of robots working together on construction, perhaps in a few months, there would be many Hope Academies popping up across the world!
In another twenty or thirty years, it would be interesting to see what those so-called noble families would do!
To put it in classic terms: "In the face of absolute power, all schemes and conspiracies will be nothing but paper tigers—utterly vulnerable!"
Ha!
By the way, we can't waste the Ice Lancer either. Let's have some of them come here to teach and spread knowledge.
The Mage Envoy will teach the application of magic and runes.
The Beast Spirit Warrior will cover the topic of "how monsters are formed."
The Robot Butler will explain what "science" is, along with cannons, airplanes, and cruise ships.
Of course, there will also be martial artists teaching various martial arts philosophies to unlock the treasures of the human body.
Aren't we here to have some fun?
Then I'll play a bigger game with you all!
Is it being reckless?
I want to see who down here can be more reckless than me!!!
Ye Kai revealed a cold and wicked smile at the corner of his mouth...
