Chapter 1341: Truth and Killing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The four guards who were on the brink of death and the four elders of Mount Li looked at Zhao Yu and Madam Qi. If it were someone else who uttered these preposterous words, they would have scoffed in disbelief. However, these words came from Madam Qi who once shared a bed with the emperor of Great Qin.

For many years, the people of Xiangyang City had speculated the reasons why the emperor would suddenly throw Madam Qi into the Cold Palace. Moreover, he had also grown distant from his son, Zhao Yu. After so many years, the answer had finally been found.

They looked at the person whom they had been unquestioningly loyal to, the high and mighty emperor of Great Qin, hoping for an explanation.

Unfortunately, the emperor only shook his head silently with a smile on his face. His cheek was pressed against the ground, and he made no move to raise his head.

Zhao Yu helped Madam Qi to come forward. He inhaled sharply when he saw the ruins that used to be the Mystic Tranquility Hall.

Before this, Zhao Yu had been pestering Madam Qi to tell him the truth. When he finally learned of the truth, he was shocked for a long time.

After considering his relationship with Lu Zhou and Mingshi Yin, Zhao Yu and Madam Qi rushed over.

Madam Qi was discomfited by the smell of blood that permeated the air. After a moment, she looked at the haggard emperor of Great Qin who was lying on the ground and asked, “General Meng, am I right?”

“I…”

Madam Qi interjected, “At this point, do you still want to hide the truth? Is there a point? Are you afraid you’d be cursed for killing the emperor after you die?”

The emperor finally made a move to sit up. He placed his hands on the ground and struggled for a long time to sit up, but no one came forward to help him. Then, he slowly moved back. It took him a long time just to cover the distance of three to four meters. When he finally leaned against the steps, his sunken eyes met Madam Qi. “Madam Qi, you’re very smart.”

“I’ve slept next to the emperor for so many years. How could I not know his habits? He didn’t like sandalwood, he disliked sleeping on his side, and he didn’t like washing his face with hot water. He liked to sleep on his back and wash his face with cold water…” Madam Qi said, remembering the past.

In fact, there were many things that could not stand the weight of scrutiny. Unfortunately, no one dared to voice their doubts at that time.

“Although General Meng tried very hard to learn and imitate His Majesty, General Meng’s habits are imprinted in his bones and can’t be changed,” Madam Qi said.

The Qin emperor chuckled. “This is a kingdom I conquered. Why should I give it to him?”

Madam Qi remained silent.

The emperor’s words were tantamount to his admission.

Mingshi Yin looked at the old emperor with a complex expression and took three steps back.

“Before attacking Great Jin, I, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yi attacked the cities and conquered the land. We fought valiantly to kill the enemy and drove the barbarians away! We should’ve been given territories, but do you know what he did?”

Madam Qi said angrily, “No matter what His Majesty did, there’s no changing the fact that you’re disloyal!”

The emperor was unaffected by Madam Qi’s words. He had been ruminating over loyalty and betrayal for many years now. In the initial years, his heart, mind, and soul were tortured every day. However, he slowly grew numb and developed a heart of stone.

The emperor, or more accurately, Meng Mingshi said, agitated, “He was afraid my achievements would overshadow him. He was afraid the men in my troops would rebel. During the battle on Mount Xiao, countless of our men were injured and killed. He refused to send reinforcements and delayed it until both sides suffered heavy losses…” His eyes widened, and he grew even more agitated as he said, “If you had seen your men being slain, you’d understand that he deserves it!”

Everyone was shocked. They did not expect there to be such a secret behind the battle on Mount Xiao.

Meng Mingshi coughed a few times. His voice grew weaker and weaker as he said, “I, Meng Mingshi, have dominated the world for many years. Everyone thought I was weak; no one knew my true strength. Let alone the emperor, I’m not even afraid of Venerable Masters. If the emperor wants me to die, I have no choice but to die? However, if I want to kill the emperor, who can stop me?”

The last sentence was said through gritted teeth. At this point, Meng Mingshi still carried such great resentment and determination. His tenacity and aura caused people to shudder. His mind was clear, and he had completely shed all pretenses as the emperor of Great Qin.

Lu Zhou calmly asked, “Do you regret it?”

“I’ve never regretted it. Since ancient times, loyalty and complete obedience are expected to be given to the emperor. He was unfair and unrighteous to me so there’s no need for me to be loyal to him!” Meng Mingshi said with a chuckle that turned into a cough. It took a long time for him to recover from his coughing fit, and when he did, he said, “I killed everyone during the battle at Mount Xiao! There were no survivors! I’m the only survivor! I became the ruler of a country and ushered in an era of peace. In Great Qin, the people live and work in peace. They sing and they dance. Even the cultivation world is peaceful… Everyone should be grateful to me. I should be immortalized for this!”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “What will be immortalized is the name of the emperor of Great Qin, not Meng Mingshi. You, Meng Mingshi, bear the crime of mutiny and regicide!”

“…”

“Before you die, you still continue to spout meaningless lies? Is there a point?” Madam Qi shook her head.

Meng Mingshi said firmly, “I’m not lying. This is the truth! What a pity, what a pity! Just a step more, and I would’ve made it…”

It was hard to imagine the emperor of Great Qin whom everyone respected was someone who would do anything just to achieve his goals.

“For the sake of the throne, you chose to destroy the Meng clan?” Lu Zhou asked.

These words were like pouring salt on Meng Mingshi’s wounds. His eyes widened, and he choked. His expression was hard to read; it was complex. He alternated between laughing and crying as he said, “I had no choice with the Meng clan… and Great Qin…”

How could two Meng Mingshi exist?

With this, the truth was revealed.

Mingshi Yin darted out and grabbed Meng Mingshi’s collar. “Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cub. You… Y-you’re worse than an animal! I’ll kill you!”

Mingshi Yin raised his hand, forming an energy seal from the Primal Qi.

Meng Mingshi stared at Mingshi Yin with his sunken eyes. He struggled to keep his eyes open, and his mouth opened and closed a few times before he said, “If you can get rid of the hatred in your heart with this, then make your move…”

“You think I won’t?”

Swoosh!

When the energy seal was half an inch from Meng Mingshi’s neck, it stopped.

Meng Mingshi did not dodge. He still had more than ten Birth Charts. Although he was on the brink of death, if his Birth Charts were to explode, it would send Mingshi Yin flying. However, he did not do so.

Meng Mingshi laughed and cried as he kept muttering, “I’ve let down the ancestors of the Meng clan!”

Then, he raised his wizened hand and held onto Mingshi Yin’s arm with a burst of strength. “Kill me! Kill me!”

Everyone sighed.

No one helped Ming Shiyin or gave him any advice. Every family had its own difficulties. It was difficult for outsiders to intervene in family affairs. Since this was his family affair, he should be the one to resolve it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh.

Countless cultivators, royal guards, and soldiers flew over.

“Those who trespass into the royal palace will be killed without mercy!”

Meng Mingshi said, “Do you see how loyal my soldiers are? Can you see their hearts? If he were even one-tenth of the man I am, would I need to walk down this path? Do it! Kill me!”

“Those who trespass into the royal palace will be killed without mercy!”

Everyone ignored the cultivators, royal guards, and soldiers who had just arrived.

Lu Zhou looked around before his eyes landed on the Mystic Tranquility Hall. Then, he said, “You said the formation is unbreakable?”

“Hm?”

“I’ll show you.”

Whoosh!

Lu Zhou tapped his toes on the ground and flew up into the sky.. Then, he raised his hand before Unnamed in the form of a sword appeared.
