My Hidden Strength Was Exposed by the Heavenly Dao Ranking List – Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Mythical Appearance

At the execution ground.

Xu Youzhen, the Left Vice Censor-in-chief responsible for overseeing the execution, sneered as he looked at Yu Qian: “Yu Qian, you were loyal and brave for the country, you fought against the enemy, you are a great national hero, so what? In the end, your whole family, old and young, will die here. Hahahaha, you’re killing me with laughter.”

“So, Yu Qian, back when His Majesty was captured in the north, you wanted to establish Zhu Qiyu as the emperor, do you regret it now?”

Although Yu Qian was poisoned and his martial arts were almost completely crippled, he still stood ramrod straight.

He didn’t even glance at Xu Youzhen, but instead looked at his son, Yu Mian: “Yu Mian, are you afraid?”

Yu Mian was already in his twenties, and he stood tall and straight: “I’m not afraid. Even if our whole family dies, history has a pen, and it will record Father’s loyalty and bravery. History has a pen, and it will record this absurd scene today.”

“Good.” Yu Qian looked at his daughter, Yu Qiongying: “Qiongying, are you afraid?”

Yu Qiongying was only sixteen or seventeen this year, at the prime of her youth, and she was graceful and beautiful, but she also stood straight: “Father once wrote a poem, ‘After being hammered ten thousand times, I emerge from the deep mountains, the raging fire is like nothing. I don’t care if my body is smashed to pieces, I only want to leave my integrity in the world.’ Father has been loyal and upright his whole life, so even if our family dies, what is there to fear?”

“Good!” Yu Qian looked at his grandson, Yu Yunzhong: “Zhong’er, are you afraid?”

Yu Yunzhong was only five or six years old, and he was already trembling with fear, but when his grandfather, Yu Qian, asked him, his tears were still welling up in his eyes, but he still said firmly: “Yunzhong is not afraid, anyway, the worst that can happen is death, we’ll all die together, and we can reunite after death.”

“Good, good child. Don’t be afraid, we’ll all die together, and we’ll reunite after death.” After comforting his grandson, Yu Qian looked at Xu Youzhen: “Although I, Yu Qian, will die here today, history has a pen, and it will record this scene.”

Many of the common people nearby, hearing this conversation, silently shed tears. There were also many hot-tempered old men who had already begun to charge the execution ground, but Zhu Qizhen had arranged many experts here, and these arranged experts suppressed them all.

Xu Youzhen was so angry that his nose was crooked.

He had originally thought that he would see the usually aloof Yu Qian show some signs of fear.

But as a result, Yu Qian’s entire family didn’t seem afraid at all.

Damn it.

“Execute them all!” Xu Youzhen said impatiently.

“Yes.”

The executioners were about to begin the executions.

It seemed that Yu Qian, the great national hero of the Ming Dynasty, was about to be beheaded.

◈◈◈

But at this moment.

“Hold the execution!” A person broke through the crowd.

This person had a resolute face, a famous saber on his back, and an extraordinary demeanor. He was none other than Peng An, the seventh generation Prince Jin.

Peng An said in a deep voice: “How about giving me some face? Release Junior Protector Yu.”

Xu Youzhen saw Peng An and sneered: “So it’s the seventh generation Prince Jin. If your Old Ancestor was still awake, we would of course give you face. But your Old Ancestor is asleep. He won’t wake up for several decades, right? Why should we give you face?”

Before Peng Feng left the Central Plains, he had already figured out how to use the Phoenix Blood to hide himself from the Heavenly Ranking List. Peng Feng’s name no longer appeared on the Heavenly Ranking List, which made the world think that Peng Feng had fallen asleep again.

Peng An grasped the hilt of his saber: “In that case, I have no choice but to save him.”

Xu Youzhen said: “By doing this, you are opposing the imperial power. Don’t you think about your family?”

“My Peng family has been loyal and righteous for generations. When we encounter a great loyal minister like Junior Protector Yu, of course we must save him.”

“Moreover, if your emperor has the guts, then come and try to exterminate my whole family. Let’s see how much courage your emperor has.” Peng An said disdainfully.

Xu Youzhen was momentarily speechless.

Exterminate the Prince Jin’s Residence?

Who would dare?

And Peng An, at any rate, was ranked fifth on the current Heavenly Ranking List, so naturally Xu Youzhen, who was only at the tenth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, was no match for him.

However, at this time, a grand eunuch wearing a large red robe, with a flamboyant hand gesture, holding a teacup in his hand, said: “Peng An, I had long expected that you might come to save Yu Qian. But this old one is also here waiting.”

This grand eunuch wearing a large red robe was none other than Cao Jixiang, ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking List, and a lackey of Zhu Qizhen.

Peng An held his saber and swung it, unleashing a Lightning Phoenix Divine Saber Slash. The saber light was terrifyingly fast.

However, Cao Jixiang had cultivated the Sunflower Manual to an unprecedented level, even faster than the former Invincible East, and his needles were no slower than Peng An’s saber.

For a time, Peng An, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking List, and Cao Jixiang, ranked sixth, were evenly matched.

◈◈◈

◈◈◈

Left Vice Censor-in-chief Xu Youzhen sneered: “Now, begin the executions.”

The executioners prepared once again.

Even the strongest person in the common world, the seventh generation Prince Jin Peng An, had made a move, but he still couldn’t save Junior Protector Yu Qian. So, who else could save Junior Protector Yu?

Many people couldn’t help but feel despair.

It seemed that Yu Qian was about to be beheaded by the executioners.

At this very moment.

A voice rang out from the sky, the voice was distant and loud: “Peng An has done well, heroes will not die, heroes are not alone.”

Everyone was shocked to hear the voice coming from above.

Anyone who could fly had to be at least a Land Immortal.

And in the current Ming Dynasty, there were only six Land Immortals in total.

Yu Qian, ranked first, was poisoned, and his martial arts were almost completely crippled. Now he was also being held here.

Zhu Qizhen was ranked second.

Shi Heng, a lackey of Zhu Qizhen, was ranked third.

Zhang Yi, a lackey of Zhu Qizhen, was ranked fourth.

These people would naturally not save Yu Qian.

And Peng An, ranked fifth, had come to save Yu Qian, but he was stopped by the eunuch Cao Jixiang, who was ranked sixth.

So, who was that Land Immortal flying in the sky?

Was there a seventh Land Immortal in the world?

The person in the sky slowly descended.

This person was about 1.9 meters tall, with a majestic physique, a resolute face, and a dignified demeanor, carrying a saber on his back.

Who was this person?

The vast majority of people present felt very unfamiliar, and they didn’t recognize him at all.

But there were a few elders who had vaguely seen Peng Feng once, more than thirty years ago, and their sharp eyes recognized him: “This is the first generation Prince Jin, the myth in history, Old Senior Peng.”

And the people next to them, hearing this, were also filled with shock: “Is it really the first generation Prince Jin, Old Senior Peng? Old Senior Peng is not asleep? That’s great, Old Senior Peng has come, Junior Protector Yu is saved.”

“I have seen Old Senior Peng once before, so I naturally recognize him.”

“Old Senior Peng has come to save Junior Protector Yu.”

“Heroes will not die, heroes are not alone! Old Senior Peng is right.”

“That’s great, that’s great.”

Peng Feng’s sudden appearance was naturally a great thing for those who stood on the side of justice. For a time, everyone was excited.

But for the lackeys of Zhu Qizhen, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Wasn’t it said that the first generation Prince Jin was asleep? That he wouldn’t wake up for several decades? How did he appear now?

The first generation Prince Jin was simply a myth among myths.

He has appeared!

They still want to execute Yu Qian.

Run for your lives.

For a time, the lackeys scattered like rats.
