Chapter 354: Chapter 177: Disaster Level (Seeking monthly tickets for the September 1st leaderboard!)_3

The third involved the method of killing with a sword. If he were to teach it, and the boy learned it, that would be one thing. However, if the demons residing in his Sea of Consciousness were to learn it, they could potentially behead someone from thousands of miles away!

"Was the money insufficient?" Chen Shi wondered.

Half a day later, the immortal crane transformed from a letter by Cold Mountain Wanderer had already flown thousands of miles to the Western Capital.

The immortal crane was just about to flap its wings and enter the Western Capital when suddenly a large hand grabbed its neck.

The one who grabbed the neck of the immortal crane was Creation Little Five.

A single thought from Cold Mountain Wanderer tried to struggle but was crushed.

The immortal crane involuntarily revealed its true form, turning into a piece of paper.

Creation Little Five unfolded the letter and read it once, eyes lighting up as he laughed, "Old man hid so many good things in his head! Truly enviable."

After speaking, he still folded the piece of paper back into the shape of a crane, blew a breath of air, and the paper crane transformed back into an immortal crane, flapping its wings and entering the Western Capital.

However, the wisp of consciousness inside the crane was no longer that of Cold Mountain Wanderer.

In the Wenhua Pavilion, Zhang Fuzheng looked up, observing a cloud in the sky that had been hanging over the Western Capital for two months already.

Corpse cloud.

A cloud made up of corpses.

Such was what shrouded the Western Capital.

He was the newly appointed Cabinet Chief Minister, having climbed to the top after Elder Yan Xianzhi’s resignation. He hadn’t expected that just as he took the position, the corpse cloud incident would occur.

Now, with panic widespread inside and outside the Western Capital, there were even rumors saying it was his ascension to the position that had triggered the numerous disappearances. Some suggested that sacrificing him could make the corpse cloud disappear.

"Elder Yan must have sensed something and resigned early to avoid it! When I become powerless, he’ll reemerge and seize an even higher position!"

He ground his teeth secretly. Suddenly, an immortal crane flew into Wenhua Pavilion, circled around the room, shrinking increasingly until it turned into a paper crane and gently landed in front of him.

Zhang Fuzheng unfolded the paper, his expression grave.

Moments later, all the senior officials of the Cabinet arrived at Wenhua Pavilion.

Zhang Fuzheng passed around the letter from Cold Mountain Wanderer for everyone to read, and after reading, their expressions were similarly grave.

"Over a hundred demons locked inside the Child Scholar’s head?"

One of the officials murmured, "This must be a disaster-level event, right?"

Another official spoke discontentedly, "Gongzhou, all devoured by him! After devouring Xinxiang County, he went to devour Xin Xiang Province, and after finishing Xin Xiang Province, he devoured Gongzhou! When is he coming to devour our Western Capital? This boy must be executed!"

Zhang Fuzheng’s expression turned solemn as he spoke, "Mr. Gao spoke well, this boy indeed must be executed. Please, Mr. Gao, proceed to Gongzhou and execute this boy!"

Mr. Gao’s face turned red, and he said no more.

Zhang Fuzheng continued, "Cold Mountain Wanderer, considering past relations, sent this letter as a warning to the court, which was a kind gesture. Gentlemen, Cold Mountain Wander also mentioned the examinations in Gongzhou, suggesting not to delay the Scholar’s examinations. In my view, let’s follow his suggestion."

The others did not quite understand his meaning. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Zhang Fuzheng smiled and said, "Isn’t the Child Scholar seeking to become an Advanced Scholar? Then let’s grant the surviving Scholars of Gongzhou the status of Advanced Scholars. If the Child Scholar still wishes to take the exam, then let’s make him an Advanced Scholar."

He walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, "Ten years ago, the court owed him, and today, we repay him. As long as he does not seek death, we will fulfill all his desires! If he wants to take the exam, let him pass; if he wants to become an official, let him be one! Isn’t the problem solved?"

He paused and then said, "This year’s top scholar from Gongzhou will be Chen Shi!"
