Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1284 - 6: After the Chickens Peck the Grain, the Dogs Lick the Flour, and the Lamp Burns Through the Lock

Moreover, how can a mere King City Garrison Commander easily stop him when the situation isn't even clear yet?

"Loyalty is loyalty, but the thinking is too outdated and rigid. It's time to step down and reflect."

Zhao Xing's eyes narrowed, and a crack suddenly appeared in the stone slab beneath Cheng Tianyou's feet.

In the blink of an eye, the crack turned into four slices, engulfing Cheng Tianyou.

"Roar!"

Cheng Tianyou mustered his courage and raised his spear, while a golden Dharma Form appeared behind him, that of a majestic and imposing fierce bear.

However, in the next moment, a sudden beam of light filled the sky, and water poured down from above him.

"Sizzle~"

It was as if the water had been poured onto a freshly ignited fire, instantly extinguishing the golden light on Cheng Tianyou's body.

"Gurgle~Gurgle~"

With the flood of water, Cheng Tianyou's body sank with it.

In that instant, he was directly trapped three thousand meters underground.

The Xuanshui Palace combined with the Hanhai Palace, merging two techniques into one!

Three thousand meters underground, Cheng Tianyou was surrounded by the weight of countless tons of water, completely unable to break free.

Zhao Xing once again waved his palm, triggering the Kunyuan Rebuilding.

The ground was instantly repaired, as if Cheng Tianyou had never appeared.

"This..." The accompanying King City Garrison soldiers were immediately awestruck.

"Get out." Zhao Xing said calmly.

As if under a spell, these people all retreated outside the palace gates.

At this moment, a seductive figure appeared in front of the Lanhua Palace.

"King Zhao, your might is truly impressive!"

"Breaking into the Beichen Palace aggressively, injuring people without a word, what offense did my brother and the palace attendants commit against you?"

Zhao Xing turned to look, only to see Shen Tulan glaring angrily at him.

"Well asked."

Zhao Xing gestured with his hand, and a shock coursed through Lou Zhenyun's desk on the Five Grains Tower Ship, causing a confession document to vanish.

Whoosh~

The next moment, the document traversed space, flying rapidly to land in Zhao Xing's hand.

"You siblings are dominating the court."

"Prime Minister Shen Tuming, corrupt and deceitful, embezzling and taking bribes, arbitrarily dismissing officials dispatched by the court..."

"King Zhao!" Shen Tulan interrupted, "My brother's governance has its flaws, but even if these things were true, they're not grave crimes. It should be the Heavenly Official dealing with this! Consult my husband before making any decisions!"

Zhao Xing's expression was extremely colorful, the Beichen King is truly lucky to have a wife like you! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Even at such a time, you'd think to speak arrogantly rather than appealing for mercy?

Does she really think the Beichen King is invincible?

"A hen announcing dawn disturbances in the court, no wonder Beichen Country is in such chaos. If you're so eager to interfere, I shall oblige you!"

Zhao Xing pointed a finger, sending golden light rushing towards Shen Tulan.

She too was protected by the Beichen King's rule power.

But how could the casual arrangements of the Beichen King withstand Zhao Xing's full spellcasting?

The forces clashed, and Zhao Xing's Hou Transformation Technique immediately penetrated the golden light.

Then the magnificent clothes fell, ornaments scattered on the ground, and a vibrantly colored brocade rooster frantically emerged from beneath the garments.

"Wawa?!!" Shen Tuming, seeing his sister transform into a chicken, was so terrified his legs shook, and he quickly hid under the bed.

After Shen Tulan transformed into a chicken, she too swiftly hid under the bed.

Zhao Xing initially intended to capture the pair, but upon entering the sleeping palace, he discovered a golden pillar of light rose, enveloping them inside.

"Hm?" Zhao Xing focused his gaze, noticing a circle by the side of the bed.

It seemed to be drawn with golden blood, and this protective power was indeed formidable.

Seeing this, Shen Tulan and Shen Tuming immediately felt at ease.

Because the Beichen King once said: "I guard the Outer Realm of Cave Heaven, many external foes hate me to the bone. If you two encounter danger, retreat into this circle."

"This is the protective gold light I left with my golden blood. As long as you stay within this circle, even the first-class strong people of this world cannot harm you."

Zhao Xing indeed found it difficult to break through this golden light.

The Beichen King is truly beyond first-class.

The methods he left behind still held power.

"Buzz~"

The Beichen King's phantom appeared through the golden light.

Catching sight of Zhao Xing outside the door, he visibly paused.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

"Beichen King."

Qin Feng glanced back at the chicken and dog within the golden light, then clasped his hands towards Zhao Xing, "Please, Grand Minister of Agriculture, be merciful and spare my family; I will certainly plead guilty to the court afterwards."

"Beichen King, if you genuinely wish to plead guilty, how could you allow your brother-in-law to act so wantonly?" Zhao Xing had already pieced together the facts.

Beichen King Qin Feng, though he seldom returned home in recent decades and personally committed no wrong, his leniency towards subordinates and indulgence in familial transgressions couldn't be ignored.

Of course, for a Sealing King of high rank and authority, especially one who had surpassed the Rule Realm, this was inconsequential.

As long as the Beichen King didn't commit treason, everything else was minor.

But Zhao Xing's visit was a warning to the Beichen King.

Simply letting it go with a few nonchalant words wasn't in line with Emperor Wu's established tone.

Moreover, this issue stemmed from his Minister of Agriculture Supervision's inability to collect taxes, if he couldn't bring the Beichen King to conduct himself by the rules, wouldn't others follow suit?

How could he carry out his work then?

For both public and personal reasons, Zhao Xing couldn't grant this favor today.

But neither did the Beichen King want Zhao Xing to take his wife's brother away.

The impact would be too negative; the mighty Beichen King, having his inner palace breached and his wife and brother-in-law taken, would be ludicrous.

In the earlier reign of Emperor Jing, when he was merely in the Fate Palace Realm, the Beichen King would never have acted this way.
