Chapter 101: Meng Po is Actually a Peerless Beauty
“What?”
“What did you say? Say it again?”
Yuan Shao’s eyes widened, suspecting he was hallucinating. He grabbed the messenger’s neck, incredulous.
It wasn’t just him.
Tian Feng, Xu You, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou beside him all wore equally disbelieving expressions.
In this small territory, someone dared to kill the Second Young Master Yuan Xi?
Moreover, Yuan Xi was leading five thousand soldiers.
Who could kill him?
“Lord, the Second Young Master was killed by the Heaven assassin, Guijianchou, with a single strike. Lord Guo Tu and the five thousand soldiers were completely annihilated!”
“Impossible!”
“How could my son die?”
“You must be spreading rumors and bewitching people!”
“Drag him out and execute him!”
Yuan Shao’s body trembled, unable to accept this cruel reality, and he roared in anger.
“Lord, spare me! Everything I said is true…”
“Lord, spare me…”
The messenger wailed as two armored soldiers dragged him out of the hall. Following a miserable scream, his head fell to the ground.
In the main hall.
Yuan Shao slumped into his throne.
How could he not know that what the messenger said was true?
“Xi’er…is dead!”
“My son is dead?”
“Heaven’s Guijianchou! I will not rest until you are dead!”
Yuan Shao roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Seeing that Yuan Shao’s emotions were slightly better, Tian Feng stepped forward and said, “Lord, the most urgent matter now is to find out what exactly happened. Why was the Second Young Master killed by Heaven’s Guijianchou?”
“No matter why, if Heaven dares to kill my son, I will destroy them!”
Yuan Shao roared, then summoned another messenger.
This messenger trembled with fear.
He had heard that the previous messenger had been executed.
Living in this era.
Human life was the cheapest thing.
Whether they lived or died depended entirely on the whims of those above them.
To control one’s own destiny.
One either had to possess invincible power.
Or endless authority.
And those of them who lived at the bottom were truly as insignificant as grass.
“Tell us everything you know in detail. If there is any falsehood, you will be executed without mercy,”
Tian Feng said to the messenger.
“Yes, yes, yes. I would never dare to tell even a single lie,”
The messenger quickly recounted the information, including Guijianchou’s entrance, without missing a single word.
“Lord, Heaven is most likely hired by the Zhen family. The root cause is the Zhen family. Heaven is just an assassin organization, taking money to do their job. I believe it is not wise to make an enemy of Heaven. We should focus on dealing with the Zhen family,”
Tian Feng, upon hearing that Heaven’s assassin had slaughtered five thousand cavalry without even showing himself, had a deeper understanding of Heaven’s power and was filled with deep apprehension.
He did not want Yuan Shao to confront Heaven.
“Yuanhao, you are wrong,”
Xu You, who did not get along with Tian Feng, directly retorted, “The Zhen family obviously hired Heaven’s assassins as bodyguards. If we don’t deal with Heaven, how can we deal with the Zhen family?”
“Moreover, Heaven killed the Second Young Master and slaughtered five thousand of our cavalry. If the Lord ignores this, wouldn’t that make the soldiers feel disheartened and the other lords laugh at us, thinking that the Lord is afraid of a mere assassin organization like Heaven!”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao’s initial fear of Heaven instantly dissipated.
He, Yuan Shao, a man of four generations of three dukes, the overlord of Ji, Qing, Bing, and You provinces, how could he be afraid of Heaven?
“Ziyuan is right. Heaven killed my son and slaughtered my soldiers. I will make them pay the price, blood for blood!”
Yuan Shao slammed his fist on the table, drawing his sword, and set the tone.
“Lord is wise!”
Xu You glanced at Tian Feng triumphantly and flattered Yuan Shao.
“Lord, please think twice. Heaven’s assassins come and go without a trace. To deal with the Zhen family, we don’t necessarily have to confront Heaven…”
Tian Feng still wanted to persuade him.
Xu You shouted:
“Tian Feng, you keep speaking for Heaven, boosting their morale and diminishing our own. You are preventing the Lord from avenging the Second Young Master and the soldiers who died tragically. Could it be that you are a spy for Heaven?”
“Xu You, stop talking nonsense. My loyalty to the Lord is as clear as the sun and moon. The Lord is wise and discerning, how can you, a petty person, slander me!”
Tian Feng was furious. He didn’t expect Xu You to be so ruthless, directly labeling him as a spy for Heaven.
“Enough. The matter is decided. Anyone who speaks further will be treated as a spy!”
Yuan Shao rebuked.
Tian Feng and Xu You immediately fell silent.
He continued, “So what if they are Heaven’s assassins? I have Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Under the might of our army’s combined qi and blood, even if they are demons and monsters, they will be forced to show their true form.”
“Lord, this subordinate requests to lead the attack to destroy the Zhen family. If any of Heaven’s assassins appear, this subordinate will surely cut off their heads to pay tribute to the Second Young Master and the five thousand soldiers!”
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and other generals all requested to fight.
In their eyes, the assassination methods of Heaven’s assassins were not worth mentioning.
If they led their army and formed a battle formation, under the vast qi and blood, any stealth techniques would be useless.
And without stealth, Heaven’s assassins would be as weak as clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of their army, easily destroyed.
“Good. With Yan Liang and Wen Chou, why should I fear Heaven’s assassins!”
Yuan Shao’s heroic spirit rose. He waved his hand and ordered, “Yan Liang, listen to my command. I will give you an army of one hundred thousand. You must flatten the Zhen family and destroy Heaven’s assassins!”
“Also, bring back all the Zhen sisters to me. I will make them wish they were dead!”
Yuan Shao’s eyes were ferocious. They dared to hire assassins to kill his son.
Only by keeping them in the backyard and torturing them day and night could he quell the hatred in his heart.
Since they killed his son.
Then they would give birth to ten or a hundred sons to atone for their sins.
“This subordinate obeys!”
Yan Liang was overjoyed. As a general, he could only gain merit through battle.
Destroying a mere Zhen family, even with Heaven’s assassins helping them, was a piece of cake in his eyes.
As for Wen Chou.
Yuan Shao kept him by his side to protect his safety.
He still had some fear of Heaven’s assassins in his heart.
While Yuan Shao was furious over Yuan Xi’s death.
In the sky, the Great Dao Golden List did not stop for anyone.
Endless rosy clouds surged, and one by one, peerless beauties seemed to step out of a dimensional space, surrounded by immortal mist, like fairies descending to earth.
Throughout the Nine Continents, countless people stared at the various beautiful and enchanting figures on the Incomparable Beauty List, feeling their brains buzz, completely forgetting where they were.
They were lost.
Their souls were captivated.
“My god, the people on the list this time are so beautiful. Are they fairies descended from heaven? How else could they be so beautiful and moving?”
“Are these peerless beauties? No wonder there has always been the saying that beauty can cause the ruin of a country and the downfall of a man. Facing such beauties, there is simply no power to resist!”
“Damn! In front of such beauties, you still want to resist? I’d surrender immediately!”
“Yuan Ziyi, Su Quan, Zhao Yu’er, Qin Sirong… especially the E’huang and Nv Ying sisters and Chi Lian from the Great Qin Incomparable Beauty List, they are simply not human!”
“E’huang and Nv Ying are exactly the same. It’s impossible to tell who is the older sister and who is the younger sister, although their auras are slightly different!”
“And Chi Lian, she’s a real enchantress!”
“That snake-like waist, that magnificent bosom…”
“It makes me hard!”
“Shi Yao and Li Xiuning from the Great Sui Incomparable Beauty List are coming out!”
“The beauties of the Great Sui are also exceptional. I wonder if Shi Yao and Li Xiuning can compare to E’huang, Nv Ying, and Chi Lian?”
“Chi Lian, my wife, forever a goddess!”
“E’huang and Nv Ying are mine, draw your swords!”
◈◈◈
Middle Continent Great Qin.
Quicksand Headquarters.
Chi Lian, wearing a red high-slit robe, was charming and graceful. A strange glint flashed in her alluring eyes: “Fourteenth place?”
This ranking was much lower than she had expected.
“That seductive fox spirit, Tide Maiden Enchantress, hasn’t appeared yet. She wouldn’t have ranked higher than me, would she?”
A bewitching figure appeared in Chi Lian’s mind, and she immediately thought of her time in Han. She gritted her teeth:
“That seductive fox spirit is at least ten years older than me, an old woman. She must have fallen off the list!”
Her gaze then shifted to the white-haired, domineering man sitting on the stone throne in front of her.
The master of Quicksand.
Wei Zhuang.
Wei Zhuang rested his hand on the hilt of the Shark Tooth sword, his eyes straight ahead, completely indifferent to the Incomparable Beauty List.
“This stone!”
“No wonder Sister Zi Nv ran off with other men!”
Chi Lian’s eyes were resentful, and she thought viciously in her heart.
◈◈◈
Xianyang.
National Teacher’s Residence.
Yue Shen stood calmly with her graceful and elegant figure, looking at the Incomparable Beauty List: “The E’huang and Nv Ying sisters are on the list. Yan Fei will surely be on the list too. This time, she will definitely gain a lot of face.”
Yue Shen also had confidence in herself.
◈◈◈
But alone, compared to Yan Fei and the E’huang and Nv Ying sisters, she was inherently weaker in terms of momentum.
“Should I also get a couple of helpers to increase my chances?”
Yue Shen’s eyes were thoughtful.
Yan Fei, with E’huang and Nv Ying, had joined the Martial God. During this time, with the appearance of the Golden List, they had gained a lot of attention.
She couldn’t see the Martial God, so she planned to start with the Martial King.
She planned to go through the back door and make a late surge.
To surpass Yan Fei.
“It seems I need to dig up the Greater Lesser Fate and Lesser Fate…”
Yue Shen made a decision in her heart.
This work is organized and uploaded by 69 Book Bar~~
There were many beauties by Zhao Wu’s side.
Even if she was confident in her appearance, talent, and martial arts, she was not sure she could stand out and be the only one.
With the help of the Lesser Fate and Greater Lesser Fate, her chances would be much greater.
While Yue Shen was preparing to poach people, the Greater Lesser Fate, dressed in red and exuding a charming and fiery aura, was also looking at the Incomparable Beauty List, her heart filled with anticipation.
“E’huang and Nv Ying are on the list. I should be on the list too…”
The Greater Lesser Fate didn’t care too much about her ranking. As long as she was on the list and got the youth-preserving pill, that would be enough.
For women, the youth-preserving pill was an irresistible poison.
Not only the Greater Lesser Fate, but all the beauties in the world who were confident in their beauty were looking forward to it.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone.
The images of Shi Yao and Li Xiuning from the Great Sui Incomparable Beauty List materialized.
Li Xiuning had fair skin, a graceful figure, and was clad in armor. She held a spear, rode a warhorse, and looked valiant and heroic.
She was comparable to Hu Sanniang on the Great Song Incomparable Beauty List.
And Shi Yao…
“Holy crap!”
“She’s out! She’s out! Another Purple Shirt Dragon King!”
“Purple Shirt Dragon King warning!”
“Damn! Isn’t that Meng Po of the Xuanming Sect?”
“Meng Po is actually on the Incomparable Beauty List!”
“Before, when the Assassin List was revealed, Meng Po was actually a member of the Buliangren. Now, with the Incomparable Beauty List, Meng Po is also a peerless beauty?”
Under everyone’s gaze, behind the name of Shi Yao on the Great Sui Incomparable Beauty List, an old woman with a hunched back, leaning on a cane, and with a head full of silver hair appeared.
The Great Sui martial artists all recognized that this old woman was the famous Meng Po of the Xuanming Sect.
And when the Assassin List was announced, Meng Po was ranked seventy-seventh.
She was actually a spy sent by the Buliangren to the Xuanming Sect.
Now, Meng Po was actually on the Incomparable Beauty List.
And ranked thirteenth on the Great Sui Incomparable Beauty List.
It was truly unbelievable.
Under everyone’s burning gaze, Meng Po’s image suddenly bloomed with endless dazzling light.
The light receded, and Meng Po was covered by a layer of black char.
Immediately afterward.
The layer of black char began to shatter inch by inch.
Revealing the fair, snow-white skin underneath.
One inch, two inches, three inches…
The originally ugly, decrepit, and old Meng Po, under everyone’s burning gaze, transformed into a graceful, peerlessly beautiful woman.
This strong visual impact was even more intense than when the Purple Shirt Dragon King’s disguise as Golden Flower Granny transformed into a great beauty.
Although, with the examples of the Purple Shirt Dragon King and Xiao Zhao, they had long guessed that Meng Po, or rather Shi Yao, had definitely disguised herself.
But seeing Meng Po’s (Shi Yao’s) true face, countless martial artists in the Nine Continents were still stunned.
She was simply too beautiful.
Moreover, Meng Po had previously infiltrated the Xuanming Sect and became the second-in-command, shaking the martial world.
Now, she was also ranked seventy-seventh on the Assassin List.
Meng Po’s various experiences instantly captured the hearts of countless men.
“My god, Meng Po is so beautiful!”
“Meng Po, I don’t want to work hard anymore!”
“So Meng Po’s real name is Shi Yao. Her name is beautiful, and she is even more beautiful!”
“Is it too late for me to join the Buliangren now?”
“You must be thinking of eating farts!”
“Brothers, draw your swords!”
◈◈◈
Because of Shi Yao’s appearance, countless lecherous men in the Nine Continents were in an uproar.
However, with Shi Yao’s brilliance before them.
Although the following Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Mu Nianci, and Cheng Ying were all peerless beauties, they paled in comparison to Shi Yao.
It was only when Su Rongrong and Murong Qiudi appeared.
That countless lecherous men seemed to have found their wives again.
Especially Su Rongrong.
Su Rongrong was incomparably pretty, charming and alluring. She could look as if she was about to cry, or smile sweetly.
She possessed the strength and grace of a chivalrous woman, as well as a light and agile figure and a sweet and gentle smile.
She seemed like a fairy who had long been detached from the mortal world, yet she was the most gentle, considerate, and understanding woman.
Such a woman was simply every man’s dream.
Great Ming Imperial Palace.
The Ming Emperor’s eyes burned as he stared at Su Rongrong’s figure. He ordered, “Find Su Rongrong and Murong Qiudi of the Murong family for me as quickly as possible. I want to take them as my consorts.”
As the Emperor.
The supreme ruler of the world.
The most beautiful women in the world should all belong to him.
Even if he didn’t use them.
He still had to possess them.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Not only the Ming Emperor, but countless experts and overlords throughout the Nine Continents were doing the same.
◈◈◈
Wild Continent Great Han.
Chancellor’s Residence.
Dong Zhuo, with his big belly, played with the beauty in his arms, listening to his subordinates’ reports, and laughed heartily.
“Hahaha, Yuan Benchu, that kid, really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice. Not only did he not get the beauties, but he also lost soldiers and generals and his son died. What a waste!”
As he spoke, he heavily ravaged the beauty in his arms.
“Humph.”
The beauty groaned inwardly, in pain, but had to force a smile and fawn over him.
“The Zhen family is truly blessed. Three beauties in a row have made it on the list…”
Dong Zhuo looked at Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao on the Incomparable Beauty List: “Only I am worthy to possess and enjoy such beauties!”
“Chancellor, the Zhen family hired Heaven’s assassins as bodyguards, and Heaven is not easy to deal with. Especially since Heaven is backed by the Martial God. It’s not wise to make an enemy of Heaven for a few women,”
Li Ru, Dong Zhuo’s top strategist and son-in-law, quickly advised him.
He knew that Dong Zhuo was lustful.
But the Zhen family’s women were too dangerous. It was not easy to handle them.
Didn’t Yuan Benchu not only lose soldiers and generals, but also his son?
“So what if it’s Heaven? Does he really think I’m afraid of them?”
Dong Zhuo sneered, then said, “But I don’t plan to make an enemy of Heaven for now. Heaven can’t be the Zhen family’s bodyguard forever.”
“Besides, that kid Yuan Benchu lost his son. He definitely won’t swallow this anger easily. Let him test Heaven’s depth first. I just need to be the oriole in the back.”
“Chancellor is wise.”
◈◈◈
While Dong Zhuo received the news that Yuan Shao had lost soldiers and generals and his son had been killed by Heaven, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and others also received the news.
Their choices were similar to Dong Zhuo’s.
They prepared to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
If Yuan Shao lost soldiers and generals in the battle with Heaven, they would pounce on him and bite off a piece of his flesh.
Yuan Shao occupied four provinces, after all, and was extremely wealthy.
Which of the lords, like Cao Cao and Liu Bei, didn’t covet Yuan Shao’s territory?
The lords of the world were eyeing each other, and undercurrents were surging.
Meanwhile, Yan Liang, a general under Yuan Shao of Ji Province, had gathered an army of one hundred thousand and was marching toward the Zhen family in Zhongshan Wuji with great fanfare.
◈◈◈
At the same time.
Zhao Wu brought the High Priestess, the Queen of Jingjue, Ji Xiaofu, and Zhou Zhiruo to the Green Bamboo Manor.
The Green Bamboo Manor was a residence that Duan Lang had prepared specifically for Zhao Wu.
Han Ji, whom he had snatched, was currently waiting in the manor for Zhao Wu to favor her.
Duan Lang stood at the entrance. When he saw Zhao Wu’s carriage arriving, his spirits lifted. He quickly went to the carriage, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully:
“This subordinate, Duan Lang, greets the Lord. May the Lord enjoy eternal blessings and boundless longevity.”
