The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 645 Xuanwu Is the Most Objective

This evening was supposed to be the date for the important ceremony of the Four Symbols Sect, but now it was just dawn, and it seemed that the topic of the ceremony needed to be changed.

Originally, it was the ceremony to establish the leader, but now it seemed that the leader was not enough.

The Night Emperor really came to the world...

No one needs to introduce what this sword is. Any believer who practices the Four Symbols technique can feel the strong aura from it, which encompasses the individual practice of all the Four Symbols believers, and is all-encompassing and vast.

This is definitely mentioned in the scriptures of the sect. The Night Emperor once had an unfinished divine sword... This is it.

This sword is not a symbolic meaning, it has an absolute practical embodiment.

From this complicated sword-making process, it can be seen that if it were not for the Night Emperor, no one else would be able to drive this sword, let alone forge it by hand... It is hard to say whether the Night Emperor can forge it himself. The scriptures clearly state that the Night Emperor only made the sword blank and did not complete it!

But under the eyes of all the believers who came to participate in the leader ceremony, they watched it being cast.

The followers of the church didn't need anyone to tell them, they had already regarded Zhao Changhe as the Night Emperor.

Some people who knew about it were thinking, no wonder they had always felt that the Venerable had a strange attitude towards Zhao Changhe. If someone else had been in contact with the Saint, wouldn't the Venerable skin him alive? As a result, he treated Zhao Changhe with such a tsk tsk. Apart from punishing the Saint to copy books, he didn't even want to beat her. The two Venerables themselves cooperated with Zhao Changhe in various ways, fighting Maitreya and the Sea Emperor, like close comrades...

It turned out that they had already suspected that Zhao Changhe was the Night Emperor. The Saint was originally a servant of the gods, so what was there to beat... The reason why they punished him to copy books was nothing more than that the Night Emperor was still uncertain and couldn't be sent away in a hurry.

However, several parties knew very well that Zhao Changhe was really not the Night Emperor.

His skills and those of the Night Emperor were not the same, but they were completely unrelated.

Even Zhuque's expectation of "you can refer to our Four Symbols teaching skills when you reach a bottleneck" was not implemented. From the beginning to the end, except for the basic method of lighting up the stars to echo, which was taught in the early days, the rest has nothing to do with the Four Symbols Sect.

And its star meaning has achieved "walking ahead of the Night Emperor". First the Milky Way and then the Four Symbols can be said to be a direction adjustment, but this sun and moon shining together is really different from the Night Emperor's meaning. The scorching sun is not the night. With this thing, it is not called the Night Emperor.

However, the sword blank determines that you can only dance on this framework. If it is completely contrary to the meaning of the stars in the sky contained in the sword blank, it is absolutely impossible to successfully forge a sword and give birth to a sword spirit. Being able to succeed means that his intention is also in line with the stars in the sky, no problem.

It seems that it can really be considered that his wild words have come true-not the Night Emperor, but he has gone further than the Night Emperor.

For a moment, several people in the underground secret room looked at each other, and this time it really came to the question that Zhao Changhe had before: Are you loyal to the specific object of the Night Emperor, or the meaning of the stars in the sky? If it is the latter, then you can kneel now.

But it's very strange after all. He is a person who doesn't know any of the Four Symbols Sect's skills. All martial arts have nothing to do with this. You call him the Night Emperor, but you might as well call me Qin Shi Huang.

Of course, everything is decided by people. As long as the Four Symbols Sect's top leaders recognize it, then he is the Emperor.

The three high-ranking members of the Four Symbols Sect looked at each other with strange expressions. Xia Chichi suddenly laughed and bowed down: "Greetings to the Night Emperor."

"Who asked you?" Zhuque jumped up as if waking up from a dream: "You can't wait to serve him, right!"

"What are you talking about?" Xia Chichi said calmly: "The saint does not mean to serve with your body. This is what the venerable has repeatedly told me, so it has nothing to do with this. Xia Chichi is a second-line saint, and the meaning of Qinglong is close to the emperor. Originally, she was going to be established as the leader tonight, and she has her own qualifications to speak on important matters. I think he is the Night Emperor, and I have expressed my position, that's all."

More than having the qualifications to speak, this qualification is overflowing. If this is to be discussed in a meeting, her identity is definitely the host of the meeting.

But how can the host of a meeting announce his position at the beginning? Is this called hosting a meeting or leading the rhythm?

Zhuque looked at Sanniang for help. He was a little confused. He didn't know whether his thoughts were objective or not, and whether they were worthy of his beliefs. Xia Chichi was a typical person who was unreliable. The only one who could look at this objectively was Xuanwu.

And Xuanwu has always existed as such a role. She is lazy and detached, without the desire for power and self-needs of ordinary people. She can look at everything in the church from the most detached perspective. In the past, when Zhuque had any hesitations about such things, his first reaction was to consult Xuanwu.

Sanniang looked at her seriously, and after thinking for a while, she nodded objectively: "I think that the Night Emperor was created because of the will of the stars, not because of the Night Emperor. Therefore, the one who has the will of the stars is the Night Emperor, not a specific person."

Suzaku stuttered: "But, but he has no relevant skills at all..."

"Putting the cart before the horse." Sanniang said seriously: "Stars are the main principle, and skills are nothing but derivatives. How can you deny the main principle because of derivatives? How pedantic!"

Suzaku said angrily: "Kneel down and see?"

Sanniang knelt down without saying a word: "Greetings to the Night Emperor."

"???" Suzaku half opened his mouth and didn't close it for a long time. How come you are also a Xuanwu Venerable? Even if you are determined in your heart, don't you have to save face and be reserved? Why do you feel that you kneel more straightforwardly than Chichi.

She didn't see Sanniang and Chichi secretly exchanged glances with each other, full of tacit understanding that they once overlapped. In fact, they had kneeled side by side before, but Zhao Changhe was behind them at that time.

Little did Zhuque know that even Xuanwu, the most trustworthy and disinterested person in his heart, was a dead traitor. He thought it was really the objective decision of Lord Xuanwu. At this moment, he felt really hard to describe.

Xuanwu admits it and is so determined. It seems to be true...

If it were a meeting vote, two out of three would already support it, and the decision could be made. However, the affairs of the Four Symbols Sect have actually been in Suzaku's hands for a long time. She is the de facto leader, and her opinions are decisive.

Suzaku's mind is still a little confused, how could it be that I am against him... I am obviously very happy, willing, and looking forward to this day.

But for some reason, with the mask on his face, he couldn't say anything he wanted to say to bow his head. It was as if a lifetime of reserve and pride were stuck on the mask, blocking the heart.

Zhao Changhe's voice finally came: "Both of you, please rise. Lord Suzaku..."

Suzaku looked up at him.

Zhao Changhe said: "Actually, I don't want to be the Night Emperor, and I don't want everyone to kneel down and believe in me. I have nothing worth believing in. Your Majesty, forging this sword by force is a bit reluctant for me at this moment, and I have taken some risks... Well, I don’t want to boast about any risks, I just want to tell His Holiness that the reason why I want to do this is because I hope that the interests of the Four Symbols Sect and mine will be the same, and there will be no more conflicts. Willing to... go against His Holiness."

Suzaku reluctantly said: "You say it so nicely, don't you want to conquer the Four Symbols Sect?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Your Majesty, is it that you still feel that Zhao Changhe is just an older young man who has betrayed his master? He was a waste who didn't know martial arts more than two years ago?"

The two of them looked at each other, with the fire of that year flashing in their eyes.

When we first met at that time, who could have imagined today?

Suzaku seemed to hear another soul in himself driving him to speak: "Yes, your strength is not enough for me to recognize you."

Zhao Changhe held his sword and pointed forward: "Then... Zhao Changhe challenges Master Suzaku. If I lose, I will become the fire pig of the Four Symbols Sect."

This step... Suzaku felt comfortable stepping on it: "Yes. If you can defeat me, I will be your leader from now on."

Sanniang Xia Chi jumped to the side at the same time, sticking her head to watch the two fight.

Zhao Changhe glanced at them and said with a smile: "Change the place."

The two had the same idea, and suddenly left the Ancestral Temple and disappeared.

Sanniang jumped to her feet: "You are so heartless. I have performed so well with you, and I don't even have any fun!"

Xia Chichi glanced at her: "Are you really just acting?"

Sanniang: "..."

Not really.

In her heart at this moment, she really felt that Zhao Changhe should be the Night Emperor of this era, and no matter what happened in ancient times, it had nothing to do with her.

In fact, Suzaku should have had this thought in his mind, but the face under the mask could not be erased.

Zhao Changhe gave the stage for the battle. I wonder if Suzaku would deliberately lose a hand and "let the Lord Suzaku kneel in front of you" as a matter of course?

Sanniang suddenly thought that maybe Zhao Changhe didn't need Suzaku to lose on purpose.

It is really possible that Zhao Changhe can win based on his strength.

That is complete conquest.
