Bang! Grand Tutor Ning was extremely shocked. He was a Spirit Saint, yet this little girl's aura was in no way inferior to his.

"Xiao Bai, take care of him." In mid-air, the girl's black hair flew wildly.

From the shadows, a colossal black beast charged out. Grand Tutor Ning barely dodged the attack, but the beast suddenly turned around halfway and its steel-like tail lashed out at Grand Tutor Ning.

Ah! A shrill scream rang out from Grand Tutor Ning's mouth as his defenses were shattered.

They fled in panic.

"Little White, catch up with him." Liu Yue played with the spirit blade in her hand.

Emperor Sikong's eyes widened, and he almost instinctively took a step back. Even Grand Tutor Ning was no match for this vixen!

"Liuyue."

At this moment.

A voice rang out, and the thin boy emerged from the shadows.

"Xi, Xi'er."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Emperor Sikong grasped at a straw.

"The Second Young Master has quelled the internal strife in the palace." Sikong Xi didn't even glance at the Sikong Emperor on the ground.

Jun Liuyue sheathed her spirit blade and said loudly, "Sikong Tian died under the feet of a demon beast because of his low cultivation level. The Third Prince Sikong Xi risked his life to save him, but it was too late. On his deathbed, Sikong Tian passed the throne to the Third Prince Sikong Xi."

"What, what do you mean?"

Emperor Sikong was momentarily confused, not understanding what this little wretch was saying.

"The literal meaning."

Sikong Xi looked coldly at Sikong Di on the ground, without a trace of emotion.

"Xi, Xi'er, you are my own son! How could you conspire with this vixen to usurp the throne?"

"What plot to usurp the throne? Didn't Father Emperor himself pass the throne to his son?" Sikong Xi said with a smile.

"You...you unfilial son!"

Emperor Sikong stepped back, and a series of cracking sounds rang out.

Emperor Sikong's tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and his bones were even exposed. He lay on the ground like a dead dog.

"Sikong Tian, ​​do you really think I don't know how my mother died?"

Back then, Sikong Xi's mother was from the Ye family, which was one of the four great families.

To consolidate his position, Emperor Sikong married the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

Later, he ascended the throne and gave birth to Sikong Xi. Emperor Sikong was suspicious by nature and felt that the Ye family held too much power in the court. So he used the same method he used against the Jun family to deal with the Ye family.

However, when dealing with the Ye family, Sikong Di succeeded, annexing the entire Ye family.

When Empress Ye heard the news, her already frail body gave way, and she passed away. At that time, Sikong Xi was only four years old.

Because Sikong Xi looked very much like Ye Shi, Emperor Sikong felt as if he were seeing Ye Shi who had not died when he saw Sikong Xi.

Everyone in the palace knew that although Sikong Xi was the crown prince, he was not favored by the emperor.

Sikong Yu was just the child of a palace maid, but because of his talent, Emperor Sikong began to pay attention to him.

After that, Sikong Xi's status became even lower, and during one of his trials, he was even pushed into the abyss by Sikong Yu.

Afterwards, Emperor Sikong did not thoroughly investigate the matter, but instead appointed Sikong Yu as the crown prince. For the past five years, Sikong Xi has been living a life that is neither human nor ghost in the secret realm.

"You killed my maternal grandfather, and the entire Ye family of over three hundred people died because of your suspicion. My mother also died because of this." Sikong Xi sneered, "And you actually used the same method to deal with the Jun family again, hahaha."

If the Jun family does not resist, their fate will be the same as that of the Ye family.

"The Ye family plotted rebellion, so it is only natural for me to destroy them! Sikong Xi, you even dared to kill your own father, what will become of you in the afterlife..."

"My dear father, please go down and wait for me."

With a swift movement, Sikong Xi's blade severed Sikong Di's throat.

"Waaaaah..."

Sikong Di clutched his slashed neck, curled up in a ball, blood spurting out and splattering all over Sikong Xi's face.

He said, "Father, may you rest in peace."

...

Sikong Xi forged the imperial edict, and his handwriting was indistinguishable from that of Sikong Tian.

Under the suppression of the Xuanwu Army, the Imperial Guards in the palace gradually gave up resistance, and the people submitted the moment the imperial edict was issued.

Sikong Xi ascended the throne as emperor.

"Impossible! The Crown Prince is Sikong Yu, and if the throne is to be passed on, it should be to the Crown Prince, not a deposed Crown Prince."

Some ministers expressed their doubts, but the late emperor's personal eunuch testified that the late emperor did indeed pass the throne to Sikong Xi before he died.

The ministers finally calmed down, but they were still very suspicious.

But now, the entire imperial city is under the control of the Xuanwu Army, and they, as civil officials, have no right to resist.

Jun Wuchen searched the entire palace but couldn't find any trace of Old Master Jun. It was as if Old Master Jun had vanished into thin air.

The news didn't arrive until the next day that Old Master Jun had returned to the Jun residence.

It was Yin Ming who brought Master Jun back to the Jun residence.

Jun Liuyue rushed back to the Jun residence without stopping, only to find the old master Jun covered in injuries and his dantian destroyed.

Emperor Sikong ordered that Jun Tianlan's dantian be destroyed, his hands and feet be severed, and he be imprisoned in the Water Forbidden Prison, where his lower body was bitten by water monsters.

Fortunately, Liu Yue fed the old man a lot of miraculous medicines during this time; otherwise, he would have died long ago with such injuries.

"I'm fine."

Grandpa Jun waved his hand, but Liu Yue pressed him down and took his pulse.

She discovered a very gentle force flowing within the old man's body, indicating that someone had treated him before her.

She looked up at Yin Ming.

Yin Ming: "I went to the Ghost Palace."

Yesterday, when Yin Ming broke into the palace, he found Jun Tianlan imprisoned in the water dungeon. Considering Jun Tianlan's importance to Liu Yue, and also sensing Liu Yue's presence, he realized that Jun Tianlan was important to Liu Yue.
