Demon, don't come any closer!

Chapter 36 In this world, your identity is something you create yourself.

I cancelled it.

Xiang Jielong and the other two withdrew.

The flames gradually dissipated, and the azure sky reappeared.

Dou Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief; the most dangerous moment had passed, but he didn't dare to relax, because the situation had completely spiraled out of control.

To put it bluntly, it's completely out of control.

The anticipated scenario of outward harmony masking underlying power struggles never materialized; instead, a fierce conflict erupted from the outset, leading to the worst possible outcome.

Dou Changsheng looked at the thin-faced middle-aged man. This man's appearance changed the situation, intimidating Xiang Jielong and the other two, and forcing them to leave Lang County.

Feeling Dou Changsheng's gaze, Uncle Dou laughed and said with a smile, "It's been many years since we last met. I didn't expect my nephew Changsheng to have grown up so much."

"What's wrong?"

"You see Uncle Nine is here, aren't you going to say hello?"

Uncle Dou is very outgoing and doesn't treat himself like an outsider at all, but what does Uncle Dou mean to Dou Changsheng?

The most successful member of the Dou family in the north of the city was Dou Changsheng. Going back another hundred years, it was still Dou Changsheng. There were only a handful of people who successfully entered the ranks of martial arts in the last hundred years, let alone a mid-third-rank martial arts expert.

Without needing to analyze it, one can tell that this Uncle Dou is from the Qin state.

The Qin people had to have a reason for stepping in to save the day. Impersonating the Cui family of Qinghe would have been too costly, but impersonating the Dou family of Chengbei would have been much easier.

Forced to the brink of despair, Dou Changsheng had no choice but to rebel. He could even imagine that he not only had his Ninth Uncle, but also his Eighth Uncle and Seventh Uncle.

Their strength is stronger than the last. Even if a martial arts expert of the third rank from the Chu Kingdom came, their fourth uncle and third uncle could hold him off.

However, this does not mean that the Qin state provides unconditional support. One must be strong to succeed. This prevents martial arts experts from overwhelming the enemy and only ensures basic survival. Just as the Jin Yuwei wanted to capture Cui Shuyu, the Cui family of Qinghe guaranteed that the Jin Yuwei would not send experts of the third rank to overwhelm him.

Qin will not officially intervene; they will only support proxies. This is very simple because internal strife in Chu and sabotage by Qin are completely different concepts.

The former is more popular and more destructive.

Dou Changsheng took a deep breath, forcing himself to accept the outcome, and said with a forced smile, "It's been many years since I last saw Uncle Jiu. I didn't recognize you just now, so please don't take offense."

Uncle Dou smiled broadly and said, "How could that be?"

"We are family, how could an uncle blame his own nephew?"

Uncle Dou changed the subject, sighing, "Those were the Golden Jade Guards just now, weren't they? Now that we, uncle and nephew, have offended them, what are we to do?"

What to do? Just deal with it.

It was time to nominate Cui Shuyu to raise the banner of rebellion. Dou Changsheng quickly helped the chubby Cui Shuyu up and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency."

"You should stand up and seek justice for us."

"I propose that we convene the distinguished people of Lang County to discuss important matters together."

Cui Shuyu, holding a handkerchief, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "What are you saying, little brother?"

"Shouldn't it be you, the great hero who rebelled against the Golden Jade Guard, who upheld justice for Lang County?"

Dou Changsheng became anxious and immediately said, "You are the county magistrate, so you have prestige. Summon the worthy men of Lang County."

Cui Shuyu shook her head and said, "Completely wrong."

"I am no longer the county magistrate."

"My father recently missed his son, so the clan has already resigned from my official post on my behalf. My third uncle has already set off and will be in Lang County soon to pick me up and take me back to Qinghe."

Cui Shuyu reached out and patted Dou Changsheng on the shoulder, praising him, "You are a hero of Lang County. Keep your spirits up and don't embarrass yourself."

"If the Golden Jade Guards won't give us a way out, then we might as well sink Lang County and let the world see the spirit of Lang County."

"As an outsider, I will not participate."

grass.

Cui Shuyu has absconded.

Dou Changsheng was both shocked and angry; his shield was gone.

The Black Ice Guard orchestrated and pushed the situation to this point, leaving him with no choice but to rebel. After all, if he didn't rebel, not only would the Golden Jade Guard not let him go, but the Black Ice Guard would also kill him.

Under this double attack, there was no way out but to rebel and risk everything to gain support from the Black Ice Platform.

But with Cui Shuyu present, and the reputation of the Qinghe Cui clan protecting Dou Changsheng, he lowered his voice and asked, "Will they allow you to leave?"

"The Cui family of Qinghe is a big name, and its influence is even greater."

Cui Shuyu laughed and said mockingly, "The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for gain."

"I am just an ordinary son of Emperor Yan, so naturally I can't leave. But when my blood of Emperor Yan has been purified and I began to show signs of ancestral reversion, my old father began to miss his son."

"Can Black Ice Platform refuse to give them this face?"

"Would the Golden Jade Guards dare to stop us?"

Cui Shuyu shook her head and instructed, "Old steward, pack your things. It's about time we left."

An obese old man with a large belly and a smile that seemed to have no eyes appeared out of nowhere. Ignoring Dou Changsheng's surprised expression, he helped Cui Shuyu up.

Cui Shuyu looked into the distance, her eyes unfocused, and said, "I'll give you a trump card. That ferocious tiger comes from the Sun and Moon Demon Court. If used properly, it will have miraculous effects."

"I suppose this is my way of showing kindness before I leave."

Seeing that Cui Shuyu was about to leave, Dou Changsheng reached out and grabbed Cui Shuyu's arm tightly, saying repeatedly, "Your Excellency, you've really screwed me over badly. You're just going to leave like this, leaving a seedling like me to suffer the ravages of the storm."

"How can you bear this? What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Tell me everything. Even if you only show a little kindness, I will remember it forever and be grateful for the rest of my life."

Cui Shuyu sneered, "I'm afraid you'll hate me for the rest of your life. I started by using you to contact demons, and then arranged for the old steward to fake his death, all to delegate power to you and shirk responsibility."

"But you are very capable. You always surprise me. When County Magistrate Lalin and his men went into battle, they ended up taking control of the entire city. You can be called a divine move."

"You have come step by step, meticulously planning and pushing the situation to this point, affecting the fate of both countries, to a point that frightens me."

"I know that someone like you with no background has to make a scene and cause trouble to get ahead, but I didn't expect you to go this far. It scared me so much that I had to expose the blood of Emperor Yan and leave. After all, if I stay any longer, even the Cui family of Qinghe can't protect me."

"Others who get caught up in this vortex between the two countries will surely die, but I have high hopes for you. I believe that you will not only survive, but also take this opportunity to rise to the top."

From an unknown person to a world-renowned figure.

"As the saying goes, good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. You are a wicked person who uses treason as a bargaining chip to plan your own path to advancement. There are not many like you in the seven kingdoms."

"So I'll create another positive connection and give you a trump card."

"Throughout history, every rebel has claimed to be on the side of righteousness."

"Lang County was originally the land of the ancient Yue, and you can be considered a citizen of the ancient Yue. Your identity is something you give yourself. I have a sword of King Goujian of Yue. Even though it is broken and damaged, you can still become a member of the royal family of the ancient Yue."

"With this sword, we can raise an army and rally the people of ancient Yue. One day, we may very well achieve great things."

"If the King of Chu is a king, then why isn't the King of Yue a king?"

"You're all equals, what are you afraid of? Let's take him down!"

"First destroy the King of Chu, then destroy the King of Qin."

"Black Emperor and Taiyi are both things of the past."

"The one who will reign supreme in the future is none other than the supreme god of ancient Yue, the water god Gonggong!"
