Chapter 385 The Gate of Death Reappears
Everyone looked at Chen Tianjian, who stretched out his hand, and the energy within his body materialized and directly covered his body.
The next moment, his palm touched the paper, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally he suddenly raised it.
This scene left many people wide-eyed, their faces showing shock.
Ye Ru wasn't too surprised. Looking at Chen Tianjian, whose face was flushed and who was gritting his teeth, he suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
If this scene had happened in the previous life, it would probably have been considered insane.
After lifting the paper, Chen Tianjian suddenly put it down, making the pit in the ground even deeper.
"it is good!"
Many people applauded and cheered at the sight, and everyone looked at Chen Tianjian with even greater admiration.
Back then, Chen Tianjian was known as the number one martial arts pillar of the Yanhuang Kingdom. Although he is now old, he is still as sharp as ever.
"Lord Chen, you are truly vigorous for your age. I'm afraid that in the entire Yanhuang Kingdom today, no one can rival you in terms of martial arts."
The Emperor of Yanhuang clapped his hands and said in a tone of amazement.
He had brought out this poem earlier to test whether the Martial Prime Minister still had any strength left.
After all, Chen Tianjian is the number one war god of Yanhuang Kingdom and the foundation of Yanhuang Kingdom's existence. If anything happens to Chen Tianjian, not only Jin Kingdom, but other countries will probably immediately besiege the city.
Moreover, if the three prime ministers are unable to maintain balance, the left prime minister will also take the opportunity to manipulate events and turn the Yanhuang Kingdom upside down.
Chen Tianjian naturally knew the Yanhuang Emperor's thoughts, and at the same time, he wanted to intimidate the Left Prime Minister and warn him that although Lian Po was old, he could still wield a sword to kill enemies.
"Your Majesty, I will accept this calligraphy."
Chen Tianjian pointed at the calligraphy, then gestured with his chin to Ye Ru. Upon seeing this, Ye Ru shook his head with a wry smile, then picked up the Xuan paper with Xin Qiji's poem written on it and handed it to Chen Tianjian.
After passing through Ye Ru's hands, the paper weighed only as much as ordinary paper.
"Now, my dear ministers, please drink freely. Chief Ye, congratulations on passing the imperial examination and becoming a Xiucai. From now on, you will hold the rank of Xiucai. This matter will be handled by the Minister of Literature."
The Emperor of Yanhuang raised his cup, offering a perfunctory toast to Ye Ru, before drinking it all in one gulp.
Ye Ru also drank it. As the sun set, everyone was slightly tipsy. They then left the Star-Picking Tower and headed back to their respective residences.
"My dear ministers, you have had a long journey. Please rest in the palace today. Tomorrow, the three ministers will gather in the cabinet to discuss the matter of the library."
As everyone was leaving, and Ye Ru and the others were also about to take their leave, Yanhuang Guo suddenly called out.
"Yes."
Ye Ru nodded, then bowed, and the others followed suit.
As all the civil and military officials withdrew, the Left Prime Minister bowed and left. However, the moment he turned around, the smile and humility on his face slowly disappeared, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Then, he quickly put on his sleeves and left.
Ye Ru made him suffer a lot here, and he is determined to get it all back.
"Chief Ye, according to my informant in the demon race, the major leaders of the demon race have agreed to send demon guards to kill you. You must be very careful."
Walking along the road, Wu Xiang pondered for a moment before speaking.
The demon guards were incredibly powerful. He had been attacked by them before, and if it weren't for the great Confucian scholar's treasure, he, Chen Tianjian, wouldn't be here to guard the northern border now.
"Such a thing exists? What are these demon guards?"
Ye Ru raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming somewhat serious, and said.
"The Demon Guards are the most powerful force under the demon tribe, but they do not reveal themselves to outsiders. Instead, they only carry out assassinations, making them extremely difficult to deal with."
Chen Tianjian said solemnly, then reminded him again:
"They are terrifying, you must be careful."
"Okay, I will definitely be careful."
Ye Ru nodded, took a deep breath, and the three of them walked into the palace.
After Ye Ru passed the imperial examination and wrote a fine poem, he immediately became the talk of the town and the palace. However, when Ye Ru heard about this, he just laughed it off and spent most of his time studying.
As the time for reading passed, night fell in the blink of an eye, and a chill drifted into the palace.
Putting down the book, Ye Ru slowly opened his eyes, his tightly closed eyes slowly opening at this moment.
However, there was a faint chill in those eyes.
The next moment, he slowly stood up, his cold eyes fixed on the scenery outside the window, and then said indifferently:
"To be timid and hesitant when friends come from afar is not the style of the Death-Taking Sect..."
"Heh heh, you truly are a model of a scholar, to be able to know our Soul-Reaping Sect's method of concealment. If it weren't for that person's order, I really wouldn't have the heart to kill you."
As Ye Ru finished speaking, a subtle ripple came from somewhere in the void, and then a masked figure slowly emerged from the space.
Ye Ru stared at the figure, his eyes narrowed slightly, a faint killing intent emanating from them.
“Your life is very valuable. Someone paid 100,000 taels of silver to hire our Soul-Snatching Sect to kill you. This is the last chance, so I must take your life.”
The man in black seemed to chuckle, and then his inner energy gradually surged forth.
Sensing the murderous aura emanating from the man in black, Ye Ru also felt a surge of killing intent, and then coldly said:
"This is the imperial palace. Aren't you afraid I'll report this to the Emperor and have your entire sect wiped out if you extend your reach here?"
Although Ye Ru said this, the talent within his body surged towards his limbs like an erupting volcano.
Their strength far surpassed their own, and their power was terrifying. They also possessed their own methods of concealment, allowing them to kill without leaving a trace.
"Your Majesty? Let them find us first, but this is your only chance."
The man in black sneered and slightly raised his head, revealing a scorpion pattern etched on his neck.
"The civil and military officials are both here, but it's useless because I've already sealed this place with the semi-saint mantra. Unless the power of the civil and military officials is gathered, there's absolutely no way to open it."
The man in black clenched his fist, and a writing brush appeared in his hand. Then, with a stomp of his foot, he sped towards Ye Ru.
"Suffer to death!"
As the black-clad figure rapidly enlarged in his pupils, Ye Ru slowly exhaled. At this moment, the Sacred Ancient Tree also suddenly erupted, its powerful Sacred Dao energy transforming into tangible shockwaves that spread outwards!
