Chapter 579 Mountain of Soul Shadows
As soon as Ye Ru put down his pen, the sacred power it contained transformed into a beam of light, which shot out into the sky with a strange golden hue that was dazzling to behold.
The adults around were shocked by what they saw. Wen Xiang and the others stared wide-eyed, knowing that the power contained in this sacred poem was far greater than that of Su Feng's.
Moreover, Ye Ru created his poems in far less time than Su Feng.
"This is impossible!"
Seeing that powerful light, Su Feng's face turned somewhat ugly. He thought his poem was good enough, but he didn't expect that the other party's poem was far superior to his own!
Moreover, whether it's the power of the Holy Path, the level, or the time spent composing poetry, they are all far superior to him. This kind of power is simply unmatched!
"This is too unbelievable! These are not ordinary poems; they are poems of the sacred way. Even a great Confucian scholar would need a long time to compose one, but Ye Ru wrote it in less than five minutes. Such talent is terrifying!"
An adult stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief, and exclaimed in amazement.
"Yes, and it's a rare golden light. It seems that very few people in history have been able to create this kind of light. It's too difficult."
Another minister, his heart also filled with turmoil, said...
"The young are to be feared, the young are to be feared."
……
Many people stared at Ye Ru in shock, then looked at the poem that was radiating golden light, which they found too dazzling.
Wen Xiang swallowed hard, knowing he absolutely couldn't write it in such a short time.
And the other party actually did it.
"Brother Su, what do you think? I wonder which poem is stronger, mine or yours?"
Ye Ru ignored the reactions of the others and looked directly at Su Feng, whose face was also gloomy.
The Left Prime Minister frowned slightly, his heart filled with extreme shock. On the contrary, his killing intent towards Ye Ru was even stronger.
This poem has definitely caused a stir in the National Holy Academy, and it could even be included in the few sacred poems available.
Su Feng's poems are also quite good, but they cannot be included in the Sacred Way Poetry Collection.
After all, the other party did not have a literary rank, so the people of the National Holy Academy could not discover him, which is why no one noticed him.
Sensing this rich power of the Holy Path, the Left Prime Minister sighed. Ye Ru's talent was truly terrifying.
If he hadn't checked his background, he would have thought the other party was a demon god reincarnated.
Because every few hundred years, a brilliant and outstanding person will emerge among the human race, whose talent, learning ability, and academic ability far surpass those of others.
And this human scholar is most likely a reincarnation of a demon god.
However, Ye Ru did not detect any signs of the demon god awakening, which means that the other party is a true scholar and not the reincarnation of a demon god.
However, Ye Ru's talent is actually approaching that of a reincarnated demon god, which is truly terrifying.
Everyone's gaze lingered on Su Feng and Ye Ru. For Ye Ru, this poem could directly elevate his status in the poetry world.
Su Feng, however, met a tragic end.
Seeing Ye Ru's mocking gaze, Su Feng's face darkened. He then took a deep breath and said:
"I lost this poetry contest, and I accept it wholeheartedly."
Su Feng slowly uttered these words, but his face showed resentment.
"In that case, you may leave."
The Emperor of Yanhuang waved his hand, full of disappointment. Although the battle was exciting, it was far from meeting his expectations.
"Yes, the grassroots are resigning."
Su Feng's face flushed red. In the Great Hall of the Buddha, he had spoken extremely arrogantly, but in the end, he had shot himself in the foot. This would be a lifelong disgrace for him.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Court adjourned..."
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. Su Feng has a heart full of patriotism, so why not let him go with Chief Ye? Firstly, he can still help Chief Ye, and secondly, it can prevent Li Wenzhong from escaping. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
"If Your Majesty were to dismiss Su Feng's efforts based solely on this one poem, wouldn't that discourage all those with ambition in the land? Who would dare to speak of serving their country in the future?"
As the Emperor of Yanhuang Kingdom was about to leave court, Zuo Lian hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.
His words were full of concern for the country.
These words caused the Emperor of Yanhuang Kingdom to frown deeply. After pondering for a moment, he said:
"Yes, that's right, Su Feng. I have witnessed your talent today. Soon, you will accompany Chief Ye to wipe out that assassin organization."
"Yes!"
After retreating from the main hall, Ye Ru said to Wen Xiang:
"I need to go to the Dragon Palace tomorrow to attend the Four Seas Dragon Gathering. I will summon Senior Longhai and the others now, and we shall set off immediately."
He knew that this matter needed to be handled quickly, otherwise, if someone tipped him off, it would be all over.
For the Left Prime Minister, the task of tipping off the enemy was quite simple: he had to arrive at the destination before the enemy.
At this point, Li Wenzhong had already been released. In the heavily guarded imperial palace, with Prime Minister Wen and others protecting him, and also with the Imperial Guards, even if Li Wenzhong possessed extraordinary abilities, he would not be able to escape from here.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that Su Feng is a bit strange. I have to be careful."
Wen Xiang patted Ye Ru on the shoulder and gave him some instructions.
"Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on Su Feng. If I'm not mistaken, he's probably trying to assassinate Li Wenzhong."
Ye Ru nodded solemnly, then looked at Li Wenzhong:
"Thank you very much. Let's get going without delay."
"At that time, Minister Wen will explain the whole story of what you've been talking about. I believe Minister Wen will never kill his own brother."
"Okay, let's go. I'll tell you where it is."
After leaving the palace and gathering their men, the group set off in the direction Li Wenzhong had indicated.
As luck would have it, the location where the assassins Li Wenzhong mentioned was right on the road to the East Sea Dragon Palace, which reduced Ye Ru's return time and allowed him to arrive there before the Four Seas Dragon Gathering began.
"Senior Longhai, I'm sorry, I was ordered to bring you along at this critical moment."
High in the sky, the group rode on Longhai's back, heading eastward, crossing layer upon layer of mountains. Ye Ru said somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's alright. Anyway, it's not far from the East Sea Dragon Palace. It's no big deal to do it casually. I haven't stretched my muscles in a long time in the capital. My back and waist are aching from sitting so long."
Long Hai said nonchalantly, "It's not a bad idea to use this incident to get the other party to owe me a favor."
Soul Shadow Mountain is located east of the capital of the Yanhuang Kingdom. Legend has it that this is an ancient battlefield where many warriors were buried, and the area is filled with extremely heavy yin energy.
Moreover, the mountain range is shrouded in cold air all day long, and if someone doesn't know the way, they might freeze to death from the cold.
After traveling continuously, Ye Ru and his companions finally arrived at Soul Shadow Mountain within three hours.
"The temperature has dropped here; we should be close to Soul Shadow Mountain soon."
Looking at the continuous mountain range in the distance, Ye Ru's expression gradually became solemn. Then he raised his head, and a mountain range shrouded in mist came into view.
Seeing that he had arrived, Ye Ru waved his hand, causing Long Hai to land directly.
"This must be the Soul Shadow Mountain Range."
Ye Ru spoke to Li Wenzhong in a deep voice, and the latter nodded, his face also solemn, and said:
"Yes, this place is shrouded in cold air all day long. Ordinary people can't even get in. Only when it's late afternoon will the cold air slowly recede, and it will come out again after an hour."
Li Wenzhong nodded and said.
"Going in now would be suicide. You can't even see the direction, and you'd easily get lost."
Ye Ru nodded at these words, and then said to Wen Xiang and the others:
"Let's rest here for now and set off again at 1-3 PM."
"I wonder what the Left Prime Minister will think after we leave first."
Wen Xiang casually remarked something that made Ye Ru and the others burst into laughter.
They didn't even inform the Left Prime Minister before setting off, and Su Feng should be on his way now. By the time he arrives, their battle will probably be over.
Immediately afterwards, everyone sat down cross-legged and waited patiently.
