Chapter 103: No God Dies, Xi Chu Rises
The violent hurricane tore apart Jue Wushen's armor in an instant.

The shrill screams were creepy.

In the hurricane, Jue Wushen was surrounded by countless swords and sabers, and at this moment, he was covered with wounds.

When the wind and clouds come together, the destiny converges into one.

The devil's knife and the heavenly sword are sharp and unstoppable.

Even Jue Wushen's indestructible golden body seemed as fragile as cardboard at this moment.

In an instant, it was torn to pieces.

The hurricane dissipated, leaving no trace at all.

It was as if Jue Wushen had never appeared.

Jue Wushen is dead.

This news spread throughout Shu like a wave.

But the war did not end as people expected.

Everyone knew that things were going to change in Shu, and Jue Wushen was just an excuse.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The entire Shuzhong has been pacified, but it was not the army of the Song Dynasty.

But the Tiger Guard.

But from the outside world's perspective, all this was done by the Song Dynasty.

Shuzhong, Tianfu City.

No, it should be called the Imperial Capital at this moment.

Jiang Ni, dressed in a brocade yellow robe, ascended the dragon throne surrounded by a group of tiger guards.

"Xi Chuxing——"

The tiger guards bowed and knelt, and the sound was like thunder, circling over the entire imperial capital.

As the news of Jiang Ni's ascension to the throne spread, the remnants of Western Chu from all over Shu rushed to join him.

At this moment, Xi Chu reappeared in Jiuzhou.

The moment this news came out, the first person who could not sit still was Xu Xiao of Beiliang.

"Zhao Mu, you really have some skills!"

Xu Xiao leaned on the couch and sighed slightly.

When he gave Jiang Ni to Zhao Mu, he really wanted to use Zhao Mu to get rid of Jiang Ni, or use Zhao Mu to attract the attention of the remnants of Western Chu, but he never thought that he would actually help Zhao Mu in the end.

Xu Xiao naturally knew that it would be impossible to rebuild Western Chu with Jiang Ni alone.

Although it was the Song Dynasty that sent troops to attack Shu this time, Jiang Ni obviously did not have the intention to contact the Song Dynasty.

There must be something Zhao Mu meant here.

But now Xu Xiao no longer has the power to check and balance the opponent.

He is already very old, and all he can do now is to pave the way for Xu Fengnian.

But, can Xu Fengnian really go on?

Xu Xiao was a little worried. Compared with Zhao Mu, Xu Fengnian seemed too immature.

If he wasn't there, Xu Fengnian would definitely not be a match for Zhao Mu.

After a long silence, Xu Xiao finally called someone over.

Prepared a big gift and sent it to Xichu.

He knew that Jiang Ni hated him in her heart, and he just wanted to end this hatred with himself and leave Xu Fengnian a way out.

He would not hesitate even if it meant losing face.

……

In the Liyang Palace.

Zhao Zhu silently looked at the memorial in his hand, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Western Chu founded a nation? Interesting!"

"This time, Xu Xiao is attacked from both sides and is in a difficult situation!"

Zhao Zhu naturally knew that it was Xu Xiao who led the troops to destroy Western Chu back then.

Now that Western Chu has restored its country, its biggest enemy is naturally Xu Xiao, and he is also happy with the scene of swordplay.

"Have someone prepare a generous gift and send an envoy to Western Chu to convey my regards!"

Zhao Zhu opened his mouth and gave orders.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty also expressed their views, which was considered as formal recognition of the restoration of the Western Chu State.

And the instigator of all this is still in the capital of Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Mu naturally wouldn't get involved in this matter. If he appeared in Xi Chu, it would be hard to explain.

These were all done by Jiang Ni, the Tiger Guards were also soldiers of Western Chu.

With the backing of Western Chu, Zhao Mu would be able to act more conveniently in the future. As for the governance of Western Chu, he didn't have to worry about it.

He believed that the moment Jiang Ni ascended the throne, that person would receive the news and rush back.

With his assistance, there will be no problem for Western Chu.

The main hall of the Western Chu Palace.

Cao Changqing looked at the girl in front of him who seemed somewhat familiar, with a look of relief on his face.

"Your subordinate, Cao Changqing, the Minister of Political Affairs of Western Chu, greets His Majesty!"

Cao Changqing fell to his knees. His name was known to everyone in the world.

Cao Changqing is invincible in official chess and is known to be invincible among the gods on earth.

He was also a survivor of the Western Chu state.

The only difference between him and others is that he has an extraordinary status.

Back then, he was fascinated by the martial arts world and became famous at a young age, but he was attracted to Jiang Ni's mother, so he entered the government and became the second-rank prime minister of Western Chu.

Later, Jiang Ni's mother married the then Emperor of Western Chu, and he had been silently protecting her.

Even until the Western Chu Kingdom was destroyed, he never forgot his watch.

Over the years, he traveled all over the world just to find the lost princess of Western Chu.

But I never thought that I would finally find it until this moment.

Back then, he failed to protect his sweetheart, and now, all this love is left with Jiang Ni.

For the sake of his beloved's child, he would never let the child come to any harm again.

"Uncle Cao, you are here as expected!"

When Jiang Ni saw Cao Changqing, she quickly stood up and went to greet him.

She didn't know Cao Changqing, but Zhao Mu had mentioned this name to her a long time ago.

Jiang Ni also knew that this man was the last backbone of Xi Chu.

Zhao Mu also told her that Cao Changqing had the talent to govern the country and maintain its security, and this kind of person was exactly what Jiang Ni needed most at the moment.

Jiang Ni reached out and helped Cao Changqing up.

Looking at the familiar look between Jiang Ni's brows, Cao Changqing couldn't help but shed tears.

"Queen, I finally found her!"

Cao Changqing's hands couldn't help shaking with excitement.

"I will never let the princess get hurt again in my life!"

Cao Changqing swore solemnly, as if he was speaking to the long-deceased queen, but more like to himself.

"Jiang Ni is still young and ignorant. Xi Chu is just beginning to settle down. I still need Uncle Cao's help in many ways. Jiang Ni begs Uncle Cao to stay and help me!"

Jiang Ni spoke at the right time. Cao Changqing had already planned to do this and naturally would not refuse.

He immediately knelt on the ground and answered loudly.

"Cao Changqing is willing to serve your majesty!"

……

Within the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Mu was awakened by a loud noise. He opened the window and smelled the fragrance of flowers.

On the street in the distance, several women surrounded a man in white and walked over.

"Look, it's Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City!"

"I heard that he is going to duel with the new Sword God Ximen Chuixue, and the location is at the top of the Forbidden City!"

"Yes, it is said that it will be in these two days!"

The crowd watching was talking a lot, their eyes were focused on the man in white.

"Ye Gucheng?"

Zhao Mu's expression changed when he heard this.

The top of the Forbidden City, isn’t that inside the imperial palace?

Zhao Mu knew very well what the purpose of this competition was.

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue competed in order to assassinate the emperor.

But Zhao Mu also understood that Zhu Houcong was not as stupid and incompetent as the world saw.

Zhu Wusi's every move was within his calculations. How could such an emperor be so incompetent?

But with Zhu Houcong's keen observation, he should be able to see that this matter is extraordinary.

Even if he couldn't see it, he shouldn't have agreed to let the two of them fight in the imperial city.

The imperial palace is the face of an empire.

A duel between two martial artists? How can this be allowed?
Zhu Houcong shouldn't have made such a decision?
