True Villain: Noble Identity, Prominent ...

137. Chapter 137 This is indeed the fate of a tool man. Everything is in place, so many coincidences?

Chapter 137 This is indeed the fate of a tool man. Everything is ready, so many coincidences?

The moonlight is like water, but deep in the courtyard there is a cold and dead silence. Even the chirping of insects and cicadas seems to have disappeared. Only the night wind blows through the bamboos, making a rustling sound.

In the pavilion, Ye Shi's face showed pain. His delicate face gradually turned pale due to suffocation, and he could hardly breathe.

The hand holding her neck was slender and pale, seemingly without much blood, but it was like a terrifying pair of pliers that was difficult to break free of, holding her firmly in place, and then slowly lifting her up.

She grasped the hand with her slender hands and tried to struggle free, but the terrifying and powerful force was as overwhelming as Mount Tai.

She tried to mobilize the magical powers in her meridians and spiritual sea, but was suppressed by the inexplicable aura. When she used even a little bit of it, it collapsed like smoke.

At this moment, she finally felt an indescribable panic and fear. She wanted to speak, but could not make any sound.

"Let go of Jianjia, and let's talk."

"Don't hurt her."

Xiao Teng's face was extremely ugly. He was so afraid of the consequences that he dared not make any rash moves.

"Mr. Xiao, you are really a sentimental person."

The cold voice seemed to sneer, and then slowly loosened its hand in front of Xiao Teng's eyes which were filled with shock, anger and heartache.

Only then did Ye Shiyan land on the ground with his feet, and he began to breathe heavily. It was not known whether it was because of the pain or for some other reason, but some crystal tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. He looked extremely pitiful and heartbreaking.

Xiao Teng's chest was filled with rage, his fists creaked, and he asked coldly, "Who are you? If you have anything to say, just come to me. What's the point of dealing with such a weak woman?"

"who I am?"

"I am the person you hate the most."

The cold voice still sneered, and then in Xiao Teng's eyes full of shock, anger and disbelief, the face shrouded by the blood-colored mist slowly dissipated.

He has handsome eyebrows and unique facial features, as if he was a banished immortal walking out of a painting, but his expression is indifferent and cold, as if he has no emotions at all.

"Jiang Lan..."

After seeing the face clearly, Xiao Teng lost his voice in disbelief. He was filled with disbelief, and his whole body was shaking slightly due to shock.

Ye Shiyan was gasping for breath, lowered his head, reached out to wipe the corners of his eyes which were filled with tears, and his heart trembled slightly.

"It's me."

"Why, you look so incredulous?" "Jiang Lan"'s voice was still cold, with a sneer and indifference.

"impossible……"

"You are not Jiang Lan. He doesn't have such strength. Who are you?"

At this moment, Xiao Teng seemed to have just reacted. He stared at the face in front of him that he hated so much, and shouted in a deep voice.

If Jiang Lan had such a terrifying and incredible strength, why would he snatch the so-called Immortal Fetus Creation Dew? Among the younger generation, who else could be his opponent except the mysterious girl in white?

The person in front of him was definitely not Jiang Lan, but someone else.

"Haha, don't you believe it?"

"Then who do you think I am, Mr. Xiao?"

"Jiang Lan" smiled faintly, and mist appeared on his face again while he spoke, and then turned into a face that Xiao Teng was familiar with. It was Xia Jie, the third son of Prince Wuxuan. However, this face did not last long, and turned into another young nobleman... In an instant, this face changed a thousand times, and finally became exactly the same as Xiao Teng.

However, what has not changed is the coldness and indifference in those eyes, as if there are no emotional fluctuations of any living being, and they regard all living beings as straw dogs.

Xiao Teng looked at this scene, his whole body trembling slightly, and then he said almost word by word, "The remnants of the Blood Immortal Cult."

"hehe……"

"Mr. Xiao is a smart man."

"Jiang Lan" just smiled without comment, neither admitting nor denying.

"What on earth do you want to see me about?"

Xiao Teng stared at the man coldly, his divine pupils flashing wildly with mysterious runes intersecting in them, trying to see the true face of the person in front of him.

But no matter what he did, he could only see a bloody face without facial features, shrouded in thick blood-red mist. He had no way of knowing the guy's true identity.

"Mr. Xiao, as the third son of the Zhenbei Palace, you should be able to guess what I want to do with you."

"I guess you don't want to see Miss Xie die tonight, right?"

The voice was still cold and gloomy.

However, as he spoke, the pale and bloodless hand had already grasped Ye Shiyan's neck again, as if it could break it with a click with just a little force.

"Let Jianjia go. If you want something, just talk to me. There's no need to threaten me with her." Xiao Teng's heart skipped a beat and he said hurriedly, fearing that the other party would kill Xie Jianjia regardless of anything else.

Judging from the strength this person had just displayed, it would be difficult for him to save Xie Jianjia before the other party could react in time...

"Brother Xiao Teng, you don't have to worry about me..."

Ye Shiyan coughed, and her face showed some pain due to suffocation, but soon she could not make any sound.

As the hand gained strength, her struggles became weaker, her pupils gradually dilated and lost focus.

“Stop it now.”

"What do you want?"

Xiao Teng was so angry that he wanted to stop it at all costs, but he was afraid of angering the other party and causing Xie Jianjia's tragic death.

"During this period, the Great Xia Emperor has summoned the Prince of Zhenbei, the Prince of Chong'an, the Duke of Zhongguo and others to the palace, and then transferred back many generals from the border areas. You should know what the Emperor Xia is doing."

"Tell me everything you know, and I will consider sparing Miss Xie's life."

"You don't have to think of ways to deceive me. I know what you have been doing during this period better than anyone else." The cold voice said indifferently.

"you……"

Xiao Teng's heart was shocked, and his expression changed and he struggled.

In fact, when he guessed that the other party was from the Blood Immortal Sect, he had already guessed this possibility...

After all, apart from this, he didn't know what was on him that was worthy of the other party's covetousness, and why he followed him all the way and threatened him through Xie Jianjia.

But this matter involves the plan of His Majesty the Emperor Xia, which is a huge secret. How can it be leaked easily? Once there is a mistake, wouldn't the Zhenbei Palace be doomed? Xiao Teng struggled in his heart, his eyes were tangled, but when he saw Xie Jianjia's gradually pale eyes that were losing blood and almost losing the focus of the pupils, he trembled and felt distressed, guilty, and self-blame.

If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have encountered what happened tonight.

She was waiting for him to come over with great joy, but she almost lost her life...

"My patience is not good, Mr. Xiao, please think carefully if you dare to deceive and hide from me."

"What will be the consequences?"

Xiao Teng looked at those cold and indifferent eyes, gritting his teeth, feeling extremely angry, humiliated, and unwilling.

"You...let me think about it..." he gritted his teeth.

A few days ago, during a banquet at the Zhenbei Palace, his father Xiao He specifically discussed this matter with the three brothers.

The Zhenbei Palace was highly valued by His Majesty Emperor Xia, so he specially transferred his eldest brother Xiao Ye and second brother Xiao Wang back from the border to guard the Changsheng Hall among the four forbidden halls in the imperial palace.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, the Dragon Seal, the national treasure of the present-day Great Xia, is enshrined.

Father Xiao He repeatedly warned them that this matter was of utmost importance and that the other three forbidden palaces were only used as baits to deceive the public and lure the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect.

"It seems that Mr. Xiao is challenging my patience..." The cold voice was neither hurried nor slow, but to Xiao Teng's ears at this moment, it was like a death warrant.

He looked at Xie Jianjia, whose face had turned slightly purple due to the pain of suffocation, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let Jianjia go."

"I...I'll tell you..."

Xiao Teng really couldn't bear to see Xie Jianjia die in front of him because of him.

Even though this matter is likely to bring unimaginable disaster to the Zhenbei Palace.

But now, he couldn't care less about that.

"Very good. I like smart people like Mr. Xiao who are tactful and interesting."

The cold voice finally seemed to have a hint of a smile, nodded, and then let go of Ye Shiyan.

"Brother Xiao Teng, you don't have to worry about me. You can't help the evil..."

As soon as she fell to the ground, she gasped for breath and spoke with a feeling of self-blame and guilt.

"I'm the one holding you back."

Xiao Teng's heart was filled with sighs and helplessness. He suppressed his heavy emotions and then told Emperor Xia everything he knew about his plans this time, not daring to hide anything.

In front of such a master, any concealment is useless.

He is now thinking about a way out. After Emperor Xia's plan is exposed, the Blood Immortal Sect will definitely change its strategy. If he tells this to his father, the King of Zhenbei, now, will it be too late?

In two days, can the national treasure, the Dragon Seal, be moved to another place?

Also, how to explain this kind of thing? Once Emperor Xia knows about it, how will he view the Zhenbei Palace? After all, what he has done now is no different from betraying Emperor Xia and colluding with the Blood Immortal Sect.

"Mr. Xiao is really straightforward."

"In that case, I won't accompany you anymore."

After Xiao Teng told everything, the cold voice seemed to let out a faint laugh, and was then shrouded by a thick blood-red mist.

The next moment, there was a bang, and it disappeared silently without leaving any trace.

Everything that happened just now seemed like a dream.

Xiao Teng's face looked grim and his heart was extremely heavy. The other party's origins were mysterious and his methods were incredible.

Even if he wanted to keep her, it would be impossible, not to mention that once the commotion here got loud enough, it would attract the patrol guards from the imperial capital, and even Xie Jianjia would be in trouble.

After all, she is now a criminal girl and has been exiled to the Canglan Sword Sect. How can she appear in the imperial capital openly? "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Teng. It's all my fault that you were threatened by that mysterious man just now."

Ye Shiyan's expression was much more relaxed and natural at this moment. Looking at Xiao Teng who was full of gloom and solemnity, she said with self-blame.

"You can't be blamed for this. I was too careless. I didn't even know I was being followed."

"What happened tonight was not accidental. The mysterious man must have been keeping an eye on me for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have known that I would come to see you tonight. He could have captured you and used you to threaten me."

"If I were alone, I wouldn't be threatened by him. I never expected this..."

Xiao Teng clenched his fists, his eyes were cold, but he secretly regretted it in his heart.

At the same time, he was quickly recalling in his mind what went wrong and when he was targeted.

He had just arrived at the Osmanthus Garden not long before the mysterious man from the Blood Fairy Cult arrived. How could it be such a coincidence? Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind and he thought of something.

"It shouldn't be possible..."

Xiao Teng's face was extremely gloomy, as if water was about to drip out of it.

“Brother Xiao Teng, you’d better think of a way to stop the Blood Immortal Cult’s plan. If Emperor Xia gets to know about this, even if the Zhenbei Palace is highly respected, it will definitely be implicated…” Ye Shiyan’s face was full of worry.

Xiao Teng frowned. After this happened, he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

If, because of him, the Zhenbei Palace was accused of colluding with the Blood Immortal Sect, he would be doomed to death.

The only way now is to return home and tell his father Xiao He the whole story to see if there is any room for recovery.

"Don't worry, Jianjia. No matter what happens next, I will take full responsibility..."

"I must rush back to the mansion first, inform my father about this matter, and discuss it with my brothers. We must not take it lightly."

"I'm leaving now, take care of yourself."

Xiao Teng was also getting a little anxious. He no longer had the energy to stay here and chat with Xie Jianjia. He immediately got up and said goodbye.

"Brother Xiao Teng, go ahead and don't worry."

Ye Shiyan watched him leave without saying anything to stop him. She just sighed softly, and then her eyes became cold and calm.

She stroked her neck which was covered with dark bruises, and the cold breath just now reappeared in her mind.

It is impossible for ordinary people to directly suppress her cultivation aura and cause all the magic power she mobilized to dissipate instantly.

In this world, only Jiang Lan can do this...

The strange and terrifying figure just now was definitely his method.

But at the beginning, Jiang Lan never told her about such a thing. She was not mentally prepared at all and even almost thought that she would die here tonight.

If Xiao Teng had not spoken out to stop it, that strange figure might have really killed her.

"You didn't tell me because you were afraid that I would reveal my flaws and make Xiao Teng suspicious?"

"This is indeed the fate of a tool..."

The corner of Ye Shiyan's mouth curved up, as if he was mocking himself, and also a little bitter.

When she realized that it was Jiang Lan's backup plan, she actually cooperated with him, but Jiang Lan's behavior... was quite disappointing to her.

I have done a lot for him, although because of the previous slave seal incident, the two of them have calculations against each other and are still enemies.

But now, she is also Jiang Lan's person. Such a plan was not informed to her in advance, and she was also included in the plan.

Ye Shiyan began to worry. If he was no longer useful to him, would he abandon him as a tool without hesitation? "Are you blaming me for not informing you of this matter in advance?"

Just as Ye Shiyan's mind was churning with thoughts, a clear and light laugh came from behind her.

She was a little surprised, but she reacted quickly. She didn't turn around, but just said, "Mr. Jiang is busy with affairs and has no time to meet me in person, how can he have time?"

Jiang Lan walked out of the house behind her, and the blurry shadow that was surrounded by blood just now merged into his shadow like a shadow.

"You have a lot of resentment, and the blood puppet doesn't know how serious it is. Let me see if I have hurt you."

He smiled, walked to her side, looked at her beautiful face up close, and then his eyes rested on the slightly bluish-black bruises on her neck.

"Mr. Jiang, you are quite kind and gentle to women..." Ye Shiyan replied, and it was hard to tell whether it was a compliment or sarcasm.

"I definitely don't care if other people get hurt, but it's different for you." Jiang Lan smiled.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ye Shiyan was not so easily fooled. She just rolled her eyes secretly in response to his nice words.

"I just had to act quickly. I happened to meet a guy on the other side and dealt with him. Then I suddenly thought of attacking Xiao Teng. Even if I informed you immediately, you probably wouldn't have the chance to see the jade talisman in front of Xiao Teng."

Jiang Lan helped her tuck the few strands of black hair that had fallen on her temples to her ears, and then explained in a serious tone.

When Ye Shiyan heard this, his expression eased a little.

As for how true or false Jiang Lan's words were, she didn't know, nor did she care. She only cared about the attitude of his explanation.

He rushed over as soon as possible and explained it this way, which shows that he still cares about me to some extent.

"The figure that just attacked, was it the puppet you made?" she asked.

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "The Wanling Blood Puppet I refined has no intelligence and can only do some simple things according to my initial instructions."

"Blood Puppet of Ten Thousand Spirits? What is the relationship between you and the Blood Immortal Cult?" Ye Shiyan raised his eyes and looked at him.

Jiang Lan stroked her smooth jade-like face and smiled, "A smart woman won't ask too many questions."

Ye Shiyan pursed her lips and tactfully did not ask any further questions. There were too many secrets about Jiang Lan, and it would be impossible to uncover them all even if she tried.

So it’s better to know less.

"If Xiao Teng had not chosen to compromise just now, would I have died?" She looked in the direction where Xiao Teng left and asked softly.

Jiang Lan sighed slightly, "Why do you ask such a question? How can I bear to let you die? At most, I can scare that guy, and he will compromise."

Ye Shiyan looked up at him and sighed imperceptibly.

As a tool, she really had no right to bargain with Jiang Lan, and her life was in his hands...

At least his current attitude is good, as for the rest, don't think about it.

"You should have received the magic crystals and demon-related books that I sent to you two days ago?" Jiang Lan asked.

Ye Shiyan nodded and said, "Got it. It will be enough for me to practice for a long time."

Jiang Lan nodded slightly, and then planned to leave. Tonight's big show was not over yet, and he still had something to do.

Ye Shiyan also vaguely guessed something.

"Xiao Teng probably won't be able to return to Zhenbei Palace tonight..."

Since Jiang Lan deliberately let Xiao Teng leak Emperor Xia's plan to the "Blood Immortal Sect", he would definitely not let Xiao Teng return safely to the Zhenbei Palace.

At the same time, Xiao Teng, who had just left the Osmanthus Garden, had an extremely gloomy face. Many thoughts were churning in his mind, and finally they were fixed on a resolute and calm face.

"Zhang Yuan, you'd better not lie to me..."

"Otherwise, the consequences will not be something you can bear."

He clenched his fists and thought of "Zhang Yuan" at the banquet tonight. Apart from that group of people, almost no one knew that he had come to meet Xie Jianjia in private.

A few days ago, "Zhang Yuan" deliberately used this topic to tease him.

He didn't think much about it at the time, but now thinking back, it seems that when "Zhang Yuan" asked this... he just wanted to confirm whether the person who had been in contact with him was Xie Jianjia.

After confirming this matter, he secretly followed me all the way to the Osmanthus Garden, taking this opportunity to launch a surprise attack and capture Xie Jianjia to threaten me.

After all, who would have thought that a disciple of the Yijian Palace would be a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect? He was hiding so deeply.

Of course, this is just Xiao Teng's current guess. He is not sure whether it is true or not, and he hopes that he has suspected the wrong person.

Because during the contact in the past few days, he really treated "Zhang Yuan" as a brother and fellow fellow, and did not want to train him as a retainer.

But at this moment, the more Xiao Teng thought about it, the more he felt that there were many suspicious points about "Zhang Yuan".

Can an ordinary inner sect disciple of Yijian Palace easily take out the life-extending elixir? Can he easily defeat the genius of Chiming Ancient Sect with the weak? Can he activate the mysterious wonder of heaven and earth in Qianyuan Mansion? Just when Xiao Teng was full of doubts, he suddenly felt an inexplicable aura coming.

The Osmanthus Garden is located in a relatively remote area, near the outer city. It is even more deserted. The surrounding buildings and mansions are all dark and there are not many lights.

This kind of scene is extremely rare in the extremely prosperous and bustling imperial capital.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Teng immediately became cautious. At the same time, a jade talisman with a sparkling luster appeared in his palm and he held it tightly.

"People from the Blood Immortal Cult? How dare you surround and kill me in the middle of the night under the feet of the Emperor?" His heart sank as he wondered something.

Apart from the people from the Blood Immortal Sect, he couldn't think of anyone else who was so bold and unscrupulous.

Xiao Teng did not dare to be negligent or hesitate. There was a golden light in his pupils, and his divine pupils were filled with dazzling radiance. Although he could not sense any figure, a warning of danger swept over him.

Snap...

Without any hesitation, he crushed the jade talisman in his hand, allowing many powerful people in the Zhenbei Palace to notice the movement and rush over quickly.

However, at the moment he crushed the jade talisman, an inexplicable feeling of stagnation instantly came from every inch of the void around him.

The whole person seemed to be grasped by an invisible terrifying hand. Even breathing became difficult and the soul seemed to be shattered.

puff……

The next moment, a faint blood-red light emerged in the void. It was a blurry blood-colored little man, the size of a palm, holding an ancient sword surrounded by blood in his arms, and seemed to give a light shout.

At this moment, it seemed as if the sound of billions of sword shadows trembling was heard, and then with a bang, it exploded in Xiao Teng's sea of ​​consciousness.

It was a terrifying buzzing sound like a wave, which shook his soul violently and made his consciousness blurry immediately.

The next moment, his brows cracked silently and terrible black blood oozed out. The ancient sword in the bloody little man's arms flew out of the sheath and slashed into him directly at the moment when he was blurred in consciousness.

Xiao Teng's eyes went dark, blood spurted out of his mouth, and his consciousness became completely blurred.

As he fell to the ground, he heard faint, shocking cries in his ears; someone was rushing towards him.

The news that the third son of the Zhenbei Palace was assassinated last night and was seriously injured and unconscious spread throughout the imperial capital the next day, causing an uproar.

The taverns, shops, and teahouses everywhere were filled with the sound of shocked and surprised discussions and conversations.

Even the various immortal sects were shocked and surprised by the news.

You know, Xiao Teng is not an ordinary person, but a well-known young noble in the imperial capital, with a prominent family background and outstanding talents.

His father, the Prince of Zhenbei, is highly regarded by Emperor Xia and commands a large army. His master is the current national teacher, Ge Qixing, who holds a high status.

Looking at his peers, there are not many young geniuses who can compete with him.

Such a dazzling and brilliant young man was actually attacked by a mysterious man in the imperial capital, at the feet of the emperor. He was seriously injured and remains unconscious to this day.

This is simply incredible.

This is a blatant slap in the face of the emperor of today's world.

Even the famous doctors in the imperial capital were helpless when they went there. After prescribing a few doses of medicine to nourish the soul, they had no choice but to retreat.

It seemed that Xiao Teng's injury was not simply to his soul. Ordinary medical methods were useless and it would take some time to study. During this period, he could only nourish his soul with spiritual medicine.

Zhenbei King Xiao He was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch Xiao Teng lying unconscious on the bed.

If Xiao Teng had not noticed something was wrong early last night and crushed the jade talisman in advance, allowing many masters of the Zhenbei Palace to notice it and rush there immediately, he might have died there.

Such an incident happening on the eve of the Southern Hunting Exercise naturally aroused the anger of the court.

Emperor Xia immediately dispatched many experts to investigate and search, trying to find the real culprit.

Many people suspected that this was a demonstration by the Blood Immortal Cult.

After all, a similar incident happened not long ago, where the Blood Immortal Cult assassinated a group of young dignitaries in the imperial capital, but it was not as violent as this time.

It must be that Emperor Xia's recent actions have angered the Blood Immortal Sect, so they chose Xiao Teng, the third son of King Zhenbei, who was highly regarded by them, to take action.

For a time, the imperial capital was in a state of panic and undercurrent.

The immortal sects and Taoist sects that came to watch the ceremony had different feelings and were talking about it. Emperor Xia was extremely angry, and he mobilized many experts to search everywhere, and ordered the use of tracing methods to find the real culprit.

In a dark room in the residence of Prince Chong'an.

The current Prince Chong'an, Chongzheng, sat upright on a gilded dragon throne with his eyes slightly closed.

Different from the attire he wore when he met Emperor Xia in the palace that day, today he was wearing a robe with five-clawed golden dragons. The cuffs, collar and symmetrical lapels were all embroidered with real dragons flying into the clouds. He looked very majestic and awe-inspiring.

Behind him stood a silent old man, his entire body seemingly hidden in darkness.

"The third son of the King of Zhenbei was assassinated..."

"Haha, God really helps me."

After a long time, Chongzheng opened his eyes. When his eyes opened and closed, wisps of golden light appeared, as if surrounded by dragon energy.

Although Emperor Xia summoned him into the palace and informed him of many plans related to this time, and asked him to mobilize experts to guard the Chenlin Palace, he bluntly said that the national weapon was located there, and the other three palaces were just baits to deceive people.

But Chongzheng had already understood that it was just Emperor Xia's words.

The national treasure, the Dragon Seal, has always been in the Hall of Eternal Life and has never been moved out.

How big a commotion would it make to move the Dragon Seal? Queen Xia knew very well that this kind of rhetoric could only be used to fool some of the foreign ministers.

Chongzheng was a royal relative after all, and he had already planted spies in the clan house.

The current Emperor Xia has not been recognized by the national weapon, nor has he been able to refine it.

In the past few days, no corresponding ceremony was held deep in the imperial palace, and the elders in the clan house did not get any news of it.

All of this is enough to prove that those statements are just lies.

The real national treasure, the Dragon Seal, will be guarded by the two sons of King Zhenbei. The forbidden palace guarded by the others only serves to deceive the public and attract the firepower of the Blood Immortal Sect.

"I didn't expect that the people from the Blood Fairy Cult would take the initiative to find me and propose cooperation."

"However, this is indeed a good idea. I was just wondering how to cut off Emperor Xia's arms."

"She has sat on the throne for several years, it's time for me to sit on it..."

There was a gleam of ambition in Chongzheng's eyes. As the uncle of the current Emperor Xia, he knew many secrets of the court, including the two biggest secrets of the current Emperor Xia.

First, Emperor Xia’s real name is Xia Junxi, not a man. She has been disguising herself as a man for many years to stabilize the court.

Secondly, Emperor Xia was unable to obtain the recognition of the national treasure, the Dragon Seal. Although no one knew the reason, it was indeed a fact.

Currently, she can only use the national weapon, the Dragon-Suppressing Seal, to practice, and is unable to refine it at all.

To some extent, the national treasure, the Dragon Seal, has been passed down from generation to generation since the existence of Daxia. It represents the supreme power and status of the royal family and is of great significance.

To be recognized by the state means that one has the imperial power granted by heaven.

But Queen Xia... could not get the recognition of the national treasure, and she had been hiding this matter.

If this were to get out, I don't know how much of a stir and commotion it would cause.

Prince Chongzheng of Chong'an has always coveted the throne, and this is a big reason why.

He has always felt that the current throne has been vacant. Although Queen Xia is the nominal ruler of Daxia, her power is in the wrong hands and she is not recognized by the state. How can she be qualified to sit in that position?

He respects politics, so why can't he fight for it?

This Southern Hunting exercise just gave him a great opportunity. Both the Blood Immortal Sect and the Barbarians would become his pawns.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the Southern Hunting Exercise has arrived.

In the Qianyuan Cave, the momentum is astonishing. When the emperor travels, hundreds of officials follow him. The mighty aura extends for thousands of miles.

An image of a divine dragon as majestic as rivers and oceans appears in the depths of the sky. Its dragon scales, whiskers, horns... are gigantic and lifelike, representing the destiny of the current emperor.
