Chapter Eighty-One: The Netherworld Iron Guard

  "You are the person, apart from Chen Zhong, that Your Majesty fears most. Then, let's kill you first!"

  As soon as the voice fell, the killing intent seemed to turn into a sharp blade, piercing through space in an instant, wrapping Chen Ye's entire body. In the next moment, a pressure that was hard to describe came from all directions, sweeping over him.

  Under tremendous pressure, forced back more than ten steps in a single night!

  "You live a carefree life, but you still want to participate in the worldly struggles. Do you really have enough confidence that with your abilities, you can emerge unscathed?"

  Looking at the figure in the distance, Chen Ye sank his voice and said.

  Yun Taixu was a legendary figure in the imperial city of Beijing, and very few people had seen him, but everyone knew about him.

  But ask anyone on the street, and they will certainly tell you that of course they know about Yun Taiyu. Moreover, they will go on and on, telling a whole bunch of legends about Yun Taiyu.

  Not to mention ordinary people in the imperial capital, even the three brothers of Chen Ye's year would look serious and yearn when mentioning Yun Taixu!

  This person is so mysterious that even Old Man Chen has had the idea of wanting to visit him.

  His mysteriousness lies not only in the fact that few people have seen his appearance, but also in that he is familiar with almost everyone in the imperial capital, as if he knew them like the back of his hand.

  That family, what kind of people, their talents, potential, temperament, etc., he knew very clearly, as if he were a person in every family.

  For this reason, many families have deep-seated vigilance and wariness towards Yun Taixu, after all, no one wants some of their family's secrets to be known by a mysterious person.

  No one knows where Yun Taixu lives, nor does anyone know his background or why he resides in the Imperial City of the Emperor. Moreover, no one understands how he comes to know so many secrets that others do not.

  Everything will be fulfilled, and Yun Taixu's mysteriousness will make people both speechless and fearful of him!

  Fear, it seems, is the secret of every family, and in front of Yun Taixu, there isn't even a hint of concealment. Any family standing before him appears to have lost all its disguises.

  And what's called silence is because Yun Taixu did something that shocked everyone in the Imperial City!

  This matter is the Tokyo Junichiro rankings!

  That is to say, the Imperial Capital Junyan List was actually ranked by Yun Taixu himself!

  At that time, on the day when Teito Junichi's ranking was first revealed to the world, all those who had a name on the rankings and those who did not have enough qualifications to be ranked gathered at the eastern mountain outside the city.

  Yuntaivirtual will personally explain the authenticity of this list for everyone!

  That day was truly a storm, with too many people wanting to see Yun Taixu's demeanor, so much so that the vast summit of Dongshan Mountain was surrounded and became impassable!

  Among them, except for all the young generations in the Imperial City, even the current emperor was shocked to come, and after that, Chen Ye also vaguely heard that Old Man Chen and others had secretly gone.

  It's obvious how enthusiastic people in Tokyo are about Yun Taixu!

  On the top of Dongshan, at the highest point, a bamboo pavilion was built. The pavilion is surrounded by curtains that are pulled down, making it impossible for people to see inside.

  Yun Taixu sat in the bamboo pavilion, answering everyone's questions, and the authenticity and fairness of the Imperial Capital Junyan List were fully presented to the world.

  It was from that day on that Chen Ye became famous in the Imperial City of Emperor Du, becoming an object and target pursued by countless people!

  Even now, I still remember that night on the eastern mountain peak. Although I didn't see Yun Taixu himself, he was in the bamboo pavilion, writing with ease and discussing others' manners with a smile, which left a deep impression on my mind.

  I believe that anyone who has been to the top of Dongshan will also be convinced by Yun Taixu!

  Time flies, and perhaps many things can be forgotten, but Chen Ye dares to guarantee that the three words "Yun Tai Xu" will never be forgotten.

  Never thought that today, in Chen Ye's heart, someone who had a considerable position, turned out to be the emperor's sharp blade, and was coming to personally kill him.

  Upon hearing this, Yun Taixu smiled faintly and said: "As for whether or not I have confidence, let's not discuss that for now. Chen Ye, do you know that I was originally someone carefully cultivated by His Majesty?"

  "What?"

  At midnight, I was shocked by a sudden realization. It only took an instant, but it seemed like all the questions in my mind were answered at once.

  People are too mysterious about Yun Taixu, too yearning, and too incomprehensible. Why can he know the hidden secrets in the imperial city of the capital? Why is he so familiar with everyone's talents and so on...

  Actually, behind all this, there is the emperor's shadow.

  At that moment, Chen Ye suddenly realized and let out a bitter laugh. Apart from the current emperor, who else could know so much? But such an obvious truth had never occurred to him in all these years.

  "Now that I've said so much, I might as well tell you some things."

  Yun Taiyu said: "The establishment of the Imperial Capital's Outstanding Young Talents List is actually Your Majesty's intention. You want to put you at the forefront, making you a target for many people, so that many people will come to challenge you, and thus make it impossible for you to focus on your cultivation."

  And with your arrogant youth as a catalyst, make the Chen family have even more enemies!

  "Perhaps in the Emperor's heart, the true enemies he wanted to set up for me are Ye Shuo and Tie Yitian? Unfortunately, you didn't think of it at that time, these two guys were actually my best brothers!"

  "Not bad!"

  Yun Taixu sighed and said: "This is the biggest mistake between Your Majesty and me, and we didn't even investigate this clearly."

  "Hehe!"

  "One night, a strange laugh suddenly sounded: 'Do you really think that when I was the top of the emperor's capital Junyan list, and then with pride and ambition, it was just youthful innocence?'"

  "Huh?" Yun Taixu furrowed his brow slightly.

  "That night, Chen Ye sneered and said: 'At that time, I wasn't quite clear how this list appeared overnight, but I understood that for me, it wasn't a very good thing. But after my name shook the imperial capital, I somewhat understood - the Imperial Capital's Talented Youth List might have been a conspiracy from the start!'"

  "My behavior back then was intentional, to lure some people into the trap. Otherwise, why would so many lives have been lost that year? Do you really think I wanted to establish my authority?"

  "We underestimated you too much last night."

  Yun Taiyu sighed endlessly, and at the same time, the murderous intent became even more severe. "It can be known that the better you perform, the heavier the emperor's intention to kill is. If it weren't for the Northern Longevity Mountain incident, you would have died several years ago."

  "It's not easy to recover one's innate talent, but instead of keeping a low profile and being patient, you're so showy. If you die, it's your own fault, don't blame others!"

  "Yún tài xū, nǐ hǎo dà de zìxìn!"

  Translation: "You're so arrogant, Yun Taiyu!"

  The night was cold, with eyebrows and eyes all frozen. In his hand, a small knife slowly appeared, and from the small knife, an unmatched powerful energy instantly poured into his body. The next moment, a head of jet-black long hair turned into a patch of gray and white.

  Yun Taiyu's cultivation is too high, and he can't tolerate even a slight bit of luck!

  Yun Taixu's expression changed slightly, clearly startled by Chen Ye's so-called secret method. However, he was even more confident in himself and sneered, saying: "I know Chen Zhong is very cautious in his dealings, and you are now the treasure of the Chen family, the Ghostly Iron Guard. Come out and show yourself, thinking you can hide from everyone in the Imperial City? Don't think you can conceal it from me."

  Just as the words were spoken, five figures emerged from their hidden corners around them and flew out to surround Chen Ye in the center, like ghosts.

  The five people wrapped in black robes, with only a pair of eyes exposed, as soon as they appeared, the thick and heavy atmosphere surged and intertwined in space, instantly making Chen Ye feel much less pressure from Yun Taixu.

  "There are only five of you, it seems that Chen Zhong is too confident in his own intimidation. Never mind, the Youming Iron Guard is the strongest secret force of the Chen family, and every single one of them is extremely difficult to cultivate. Killing all five of you, including Chen Ye, would be enough to make the Chen family suffer."

  "Boom!"

  A fierce wave of fluctuations, when Yun Taixu's figure seemed to be on the verge of disappearing into nothingness, suddenly surged in space!
