"Anyone who touches them will die!"

His voice was low and solemn, but his whole body exuded a chilling, bloodthirsty and ruthless aura that shocked everyone present.

The Emperor of the Five States? !

Everyone's heads were buzzing, their eyes widening. They hadn't expected him to be the newly appointed Emperor of the Five States? The Emperor who had single-handedly eliminated the five divine rulers of the Five States, and who had secured his position as leader of the Five States with his immense power!

Patriarch Chu was the first person to see Rong Shuo's face behind the mask. His pupils suddenly shrank and his face was filled with shock.

How come he looks so much like Qiu Chi?!

"You!" The head of the Chu family looked shocked and hesitated to speak.

At this time, more and more people turned their eyes to Rong Shuo, but most people could only see his side profile and back.

But the elders of the Chu family who held high positions all saw Rong Shuo's face clearly. Their expressions changed in shock and they stared at Rong Shuo in disbelief.

Nishino Weirong was protected by Rong Shuo behind him. When he heard the name 'Rong Shuo', his heart was suddenly shocked. He quickly walked in front of Rong Shuo and looked at his handsome face without any flaws.

"You...are my son?"

Nishino Weirong's pupils suddenly shrank and he was speechless for a long time. Then he trembled with surprise. He didn't dare to shout loudly to disturb Rong Shuo, but asked cautiously.

"Yeah?"

"Weirong, what did you say..." Chu Qiuchi was shocked when she heard that. She raised her eyes and stared at the back of the young man in black robe. Then she pushed away the person in front of her regardless of everything and rushed to Rong Shuo with hurried and staggering steps.

"Make way!"

Chu Qiuchi felt as if every step he took was on the clouds, without any sense of reality, as if he was dreaming.

Suddenly, she saw Rong Shuo's face. She paused in her tracks. She looked up at Rong Shuo with tears in her eyes, raised her hands and covered her mouth tightly, trying to suppress her emotions.

But she couldn't control it, and in an instant, hot tears dripped from her eyes. She tried her best to control them, but the more she suppressed them, the more her tears flowed.

She tried to approach Rong Shuo cautiously, fearing that Rong Shuo was like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror, which would completely disappear if disturbed. With trembling hands, she wanted to touch Rong Shuo's face.

Rong Shuo's body stiffened slightly, but he did not dodge.

A warm hand tremblingly stroked his slightly cold cheek.

"You..." Chu Qiuchi's eyes welled up with tears, and he choked with sobs, "Please tell me, is your mother Yin Nanqian from the Yaoguang Continent outside the Eastern Region?"

Rong Shuo hesitated for a moment, "...Yes."

When Chu Qiuchi heard this, his nose felt sore and he burst into tears of joy.

She looked at him excitedly and said, "I am Yin Nanqian, I am your mother!"

"Yeah." Rong Shuo responded softly. Although his heart was in turmoil, he still looked calm.

Seeing how cold he was, Chu Qiuchi's heart seemed to be broken. Feelings of loss, sadness, and guilt instantly enveloped her, trapping her like an unbreakable cage.

"sorry."

She said with tears in her eyes, "It's my fault. I lost my memory and didn't remember you, so you suffered outside the Eastern Region for so many years."

Xiye Weirong supported Chu Qiuchi's shaky body. He looked at Rong Shuo with complicated eyes, "If you want to blame someone, blame me, don't blame your mother."

"Your mother died tragically at the hands of Rong Tianji while trying to protect you, and later lost her memory. All of this is due to my incompetence. I didn't avenge your mother, and I didn't take good care of you. It's my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Rong Shuo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his thin lips slightly, speaking softly, "I don't blame you, you... don't have to blame yourselves."

He didn't know how to get along with them or what to say to them. Some words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them.

But he never blamed his parents.

Chu Qiuchi looked at him with moist eyes and asked with a choked voice, "Would you like to call me mother?"

Before Rong Shuo could answer, the second elder of the Chu family angrily interrupted their conversation.

"My Lord, this man is definitely not Chu Qiuchi's son! His son cannot possibly be the Emperor of the Five States! Chu Qiuchi and his wife lied endlessly. One moment they said they had a son, the next they said their son was outside the Eastern Territory, and the next they claimed their son here! Who would believe this?"

The second elder of the Chu family held on tightly, and continued to speak passionately, "Chu Qiuchi has been married to Xiye Weirong for so many years, but she hasn't been pregnant. How could she have a son? Even if Chu Qiuchi has a son, why is her son outside the Eastern Territory? Isn't her son outside the Eastern Territory? How did he become the Emperor of the Five States? My Lord, all of this is full of doubts!"

"I've previously investigated the Five States Emperor. He's incredibly cunning and scheming. He eliminated five state leaders and seized the leadership of the Five States. Logically, he should have stayed in the Five States. Why would he come to our border?"

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "My Lord, this man has wicked ambitions. I have reason to suspect he wants to use this opportunity to crush our Chu family from within, then use it to deal with the other two families and ultimately seize the border! And the traitors and spies are Chu Qiuchi and his wife!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and felt that what Elder Chu said was not unreasonable.

Chu Qiuchi suddenly having such a grown son was already a source of suspicion, and his son was also the Emperor who had recently dominated the Five States...

Have to be careful!

In an instant, everyone in the Chu family looked at Rong Shuo with fear and vigilance in their eyes.

Chu Qiuchi's face suddenly changed. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks. The Chu family could bully her and Weirong, but no one could bully her son!

She said coldly, "Second Elder, that's enough! Every time you target my husband and me, it's simply because I cut off your son's arm that year, and you're holding a grudge! Your son has committed countless evil deeds. He's used his status and power to wantonly slaughter people from the Five States. He even coveted my husband's sister and tried to commit inappropriate acts. When I saw through his actions, I only cut off his arm as a small punishment. Is that wrong?!"

"I'm giving you face by not killing him!"

Upon hearing this, the second elder of the Chu family was immediately furious, but he still maintained his rationality. He stared at Chu Qiuchi with a vicious look, "Chu Qiuchi, don't try to change the subject! You..."

Before Second Elder Chu could finish his words, his eyes widened in horror. His face turned pale with fear and he screamed. A powerful and sharp sword blade instantly passed by his side, cutting off a few strands of his hair. With a loud 'bang', a huge crack appeared on the side of his foot in an instant.

Snap——

Second Elder Chu broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. His face turned blue and he opened his mouth but could not utter a word.
