Chapter 90: Deserted by Friends
The coronation ceremony is coming to an end.
Huang Zhongtai glanced at the Huang family elders who were leaving in a hurry.
He knew that something happened in the harem.
So, Chu Ning took this opportunity to go to the harem to rescue Jin Le? I guessed it right.
"If you had shown up at the coronation ceremony, I would have considered you the most threatening opponent. Unfortunately, I was swayed by my emotions."
There was some contempt in Huang Zhongtai's eyes. People who are swayed by emotions in important matters will find it difficult to achieve great things.
Chu Ning has a soft spot, so it's not difficult to deal with him.
If we can catch Jin Le this time, we can catch others next time. There is always a way to make him surrender.
Only if you are ruthless, cruel to others and to yourself, and are truly flawless, can you accomplish great things.
"Please let the new emperor ascend the throne!"
At the last step of the ceremony, Huang Zhongtai ascended the dragon throne and accepted the worship of all officials.
Huang Zhongtai raised the sleeves of his yellow robe and straightened his body. He had planned for this moment for more than ten years, endured humiliation, and paid a huge price unknown to outsiders.
And from today on, he is the most honorable person in this country.
All the eight great families and four great sects will be dismantled and eliminated one by one once he sits firmly on the throne.
Yes, Huang Zhongtai never really intended to unlock the seal from the beginning to the end.
Because he knew that it was impossible for him to build a foundation, he had no intention of breaking the seal.
"Wait a minute, Huang Zhongtai cannot ascend the throne!"
An old voice was heard in the crowd, and the next moment a figure rushed out from the crowd.
When Huang Zhongtai heard the voice, his body tensed up at first, but then he calmed down.
Not Chu Ning.
The top leaders of the Huang family looked at Liang Dehai rushing out and immediately stepped forward to arrest him.
"Everyone, I have a reason for saying this. The Tiancan technique that Huang Zhongtai practices is not to make one infertile, but to cut off one's roots. This is a technique that has been passed down by my Liang family. I am a member of the Liang family."
The one who emerged from the crowd was naturally Liang Dehai. After Ji Yang returned and told him the news, he knew what Ji Yang was going to do.
He wanted to use his mouth to expose Huang Zhongtai.
Although he knew Ji Yang's purpose, he still agreed, because compared to Huang Zhongtai being killed by Ji Yang in secret, he would rather see Huang Zhongtai in disgrace and see the internal strife between the Huang family and the four major sects.
As for saying that he knew that the Tiancan Gongfa that Huang Zhongtai practiced would be eradicated, that was complete nonsense.
That set of skills can't eradicate a person's roots, otherwise his brothers would have leaked the news long ago.
It is obvious that Huang Zhongtai used this method of self-mutilation to cultivate this set of Tiancan skills.
Liang Dehai spoke very quickly and finished everything in an instant.
The expressions of the Huang family members present changed instantly, and the expressions of the powerful people from various forces who came to watch the ceremony were also uneasy.
"This is the nonsense spoken by the remnants of the royal family. Don't be fooled!"
The eldest elder of the Huang family who was speaking disappeared from the spot, and in the blink of an eye he came in front of Liang Dehai.
The speed of a first-rank grandmaster was such that it was almost too late for the grandmasters from other forces to stop him.
"Nonsense, damn it!"
The eldest elder of the Huang family slapped out with an angry palm, and at this moment, a cold light shot out from the crowd.
Han Mang's speed was even faster than that of the Huang family's eldest elder.
Faced with this cold light, the eldest elder of the Huang family did not dodge it, but still slapped Liang Dehai, but there was a layer of true energy lingering on his entire body.
A first-rank master, besides having his true qi protecting his body, is not afraid of any hidden weapons.
Everyone thought that this hidden weapon could not hurt the Huang family's eldest elder, but the next scene shocked everyone present.
Wow! There was an uproar.
This shock was even more difficult for them to accept than when the remnants of the Liang family shouted that Huang Zhongtai was a eunuch.
The light from the hidden weapon actually penetrated the protective true qi of the Huang family's eldest elder and pierced the Huang family's eldest elder's arm.
"What a shame. If I had known this guy wouldn't dodge, I should have shot him in the head."
Chu Ning in the crowd shook his head with some regret. He thought he was too kind and couldn't use someone to death.
He told Liang Dehai the news and indeed used Liang Dehai to attract firepower in front, and the reason why he chose to shoot the arm of the Huang family's eldest elder was to save Liang Dehai's life.
Otherwise, even if his flying knife hit the Huang family's eldest elder's forehead, Liang Dehai would still die.
"This is the only time. Whether you can survive depends on you."
Chu Ning formed seals with his hands and controlled the flying knife to shoot at the Huang family's eldest elder again. However, this time the Huang family's eldest elder was on guard and did not dare to resist, but chose to avoid it.
The flying knife brushed past the chest of the Huang family's eldest elder, leaving a trail of blood.
"pity!"
The two attacks missed, and Chu Ning retreated in the crowd, and the flying knife also flew away under control.
On one side of the viewing platform, an old man with white hair had a strange expression. If he was not mistaken, this flying knife was the treasure that was stolen from his Jiuxuan Pavilion last time.
Qi Lianshan searched the crowd but did not speak, because he knew clearly that in order to control the flying knife, one must be a true cultivator.
Although these masters are also considered cultivators, and are in the late Qi Condensation stage, they are at the bottom of the Qi Condensation stage in terms of combat power because there are many impurities in the true Qi in their bodies. Moreover, they are unable to use some magic weapons and spells that require rich spiritual energy to control.
The person controlling the flying knife is stronger than him.
Even though he knew that the other person was the thief, he could only endure it.
Someone from the Liang family?
Qi Lianshan quickly rejected it. If the Liang family had such a master, it would not have come to this.
Tang Ruowei withdrew her beautiful eyes from a corner of the crowd. She seemed to have seen Chu Ning's figure just now?
Is it Chu Ning?
The figure disappeared too quickly and I didn't have time to confirm it.
"Everyone, everything I said is true. Facing a lie that can be exposed at any time, there is no reason for me to come out and die."
Liang Dehai knew that it was Ji Yang who saved his life just now, which made him let go of the last bit of uneasiness in his heart.
No matter how shameless Ji Yang's usual behavior was, at least he could be trusted in principle.
With Ji Yang's protection, the Liang family will not be exterminated.
"You bastard!"
The eldest elder of the Huang family was furious, and shot out several streams of true energy, which directly shot a hole in Liang Dehai.
Qi Lianshan and others did not stop them, because it didn't matter whether Liang Dehai was dead or alive. What mattered was that Huang Zhongtai was still there.
Liang Dehai fell down with a smile on his face. He was satisfied because he knew that these guys would start a dog-eat-dog fight next.
"Zhongtai, let's continue the ceremony."
After the Huang family's eldest elder killed Liang Dehai, he spoke to Huang Zhongtai.
"Brother Huang, don't be anxious. Since the remnant of the Liang family said this, let Zhongtai verify it."
The speaker was Du Peiqing, the leader of the Wushuang Sect, and his words were echoed by other powerful people at the scene.
"Everyone, Zhongtai is the head of my Huang family and the new emperor. Is this appropriate?"
The eldest elder of the Huang family had a gloomy face and said, "If Zhongtai has to prove himself because of what the remnants of these two families said, where will the face of our Huang family be?"
Hearing the Huang family's eldest elder's decisive words, Qi Lianshan and others fell silent.
It was indeed inappropriate to force Huang Zhongtai to testify at this time. With so many people watching, what if this was a plot by the remnants of the Liang family to alienate him? The attitudes of some strong men softened. If they were the eldest elder of the Huang family and Huang Zhongtai, they would not be willing to testify at this time.
"Great Elder, I can prove that what that person just said is true. My father chose to self-mutilate in order to practice the Tiancan technique."
A voice was heard from the crowd, and Huang Xuan walked out of the crowd.
Huang Zhongtai's pupils suddenly widened with a look of disbelief, and the face of the Huang family's eldest elder instantly turned cold as if frozen.
"Huang Xuan, do you know what you are talking about?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The pressure from the First-Rank Grandmaster made Huang Xuan pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Huang Xuan knows, but this man not only chose to hurt himself, but also killed my grandfather and my mother. Even my uncle died at his hands."
As soon as Huang Xuan said this, there was an uproar at the scene.
Not only those who came to watch the ceremony, but also members of the Huang family.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Zhongtai at this moment.
Huang Zhongtai's face turned pale. He never expected that it would be his own son who betrayed him at the last moment.
It was that bitch! It was that bitch who told Huang Xuan her secret.
"Huang Xuan, is what you said true?"
Huang Daoping, another elder of the Huang family, returned to the scene at some point and stared at Huang Xuan.
He is Huang Xuan's second grandfather. Huang Xuan's deceased grandfather, the previous head of the family, is his younger brother.
"Second Grandfather, everything Xiaoxuan said is true..."
"Second brother, now is not the time to talk about this."
The Great Elder interrupted Huang Xuan, but Huang Daoping was trembling all over and said decisively: "Boss, the third brother is my biological brother, my only brother."
"But Zhongtai is also your grandson."
"No!"
Huang Daoping turned his eyes and looked at Huang Zhongtai: "The third son once told me that his son was heartless and unlucky, and was not suitable to be the head of the family. At that time, I only considered the third son because of his illegitimate status. I was a little prejudiced and tried to persuade the third son. I didn't expect that I would end up harming the third son!"
"Huang Zhongtai, tell me, have you killed your brother or your father?"
"My second uncle is prejudiced against my nephew, and it is useless for my nephew to defend himself."
"Second Grandfather, here is a letter my mother left behind. My mother told her grandson everything."
Huang Xuan took out the envelope from his arms. The eldest elder of the Huang family frowned, raised his right hand, and a stream of true energy shot out, turning the envelope into powder.
"It's a letter from a dead person, and the handwriting is still unknown. Don't make trouble, second brother. Today is an important day for my Huang family."
Huang Daoping was stunned for a moment, then his shoulders shook and the master's aura dissipated.
"So, Boss, you actually know. That's right. There's no need for this beast to hide it from you. You are thinking about the entire Huang family. As long as the Huang family can make further progress, the death of one or two members of the clan is nothing."
"But I'm not. I only know that as an elder brother, I have to avenge my younger brother. As an uncle, I have to avenge my nephew!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, old man!"
The elder had a gloomy face, and Huang Zhongtai spoke slowly: "Second uncle, this wicked boy was bewitched and deliberately framed me, saying that I killed my brother and my father. At the beginning, I was just a lowly illegitimate child. Not to mention whether I can do it, even if I can, what is the point of killing my eldest brother?"
"As for my father, although he has never been close to me, after I became the heir, he also carefully trained me and taught me how to be a family head. What is the meaning of my killing my father?"
Huang Zhongtai's words calmed down many members of the Huang family because they felt that what Huang Zhongtai said made sense.
Huang Zhongtai is already the heir to the family head, so there is no need for him to do such a thing.
"That's because Grandpa and my mother found out about your self-harm, so you wanted to kill people to silence them. Second Grandpa, I promise that everything I say is true."
Huang Xuan knew that if he let this person get away with it this time, there would be many ways to resolve today's crisis afterwards.
He wants to avenge his mother, and now is his only chance.
"Huang Zhongtai, prove it yourself."
Huang Daoping looked at Huang Zhongtai coldly. The elder beside him was completely furious: "Second brother, you are crazy too. Calm down."
The Huang family's eldest elder pushed hard with his only remaining left hand, and a wave of true energy blasted out. However, the next moment, three figures blocked the wave of true energy. The true energy emanating from the three people directly dissipated the wave of true energy.
"Brother Huang, I think it's better to let Huang Zhongtai prove himself."
Qi Lianshan said that at this point, they would not wait any longer. Now they had to know whether Huang Zhongtai had really cut off his roots.
The other two who stood up were Du Peiqing from Wushuang Sect and the owner of Canglang Villa.
The three first-rank masters exerted pressure at the same time. Even if the Huang family's eldest elder was not injured, he would not be able to resist it, let alone being injured.
"Hahaha!"
Huang Zhongtai, who had been gloomy all the time, suddenly burst into laughter at this moment.
"That's right, I cut off my own roots in order to practice the Tiancan technique."
Huang Zhongtai admitted it, and the Huang family members opened their mouths in shock. The Huang family's eldest elder looked grim, and Qi Lianshan and others became furious in an instant.
If they knew that Huang Zhongtai was a disabled person, how could they let Huang Zhongtai ascend the throne, and it was even more impossible for them to plunder the Liang family's treasure house and let the Huang family take the lion's share this time.
"Huang Zhongtai, you deserve to die!"
Du Peiqing, the leader of the Wushuang Sect, was the first one who couldn't hold back. His true energy burst out and he became like a ghost, but someone stood in front of him.
"Huang Zhongyuan, what do you mean? Do you want to start a war with us?"
Huang Zhongyuan shook his head: "Zhongtai can't die."
"Just you, a guy who killed his brother and father, you Huang Zhongyuan also want to protect him?" Qi Lianshan stared at Huang Zhongyuan with a cold face.
At this moment, even the Huang family members didn’t understand why the Great Elder was still willing to protect Huang Zhongtai even in such a situation.
Huang Zhongtai deceived everyone and did such a rebellious and beastly thing. Wouldn't it be better to push him out to calm the anger of the major forces? "Zhongtai is a disciple of the Jiuyin Sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Lianshan and others' expressions changed instantly, and they looked at Huang Zhongtai with fear in their eyes.
"How could he be a disciple of the Jiuyin Sect?"
Qi Lianshan and others didn't believe it.
"This is the reason why I was able to break through to the first-grade Grandmaster level."
Huang Zhongyuan's words silenced Qi Lianshan and the others.
Based on their understanding of Huang Zhongyuan's talent, it was impossible for him to break through to the first-grade grandmaster level. But if Huang Zhongtai was a disciple of the Nine Yin Sect, then it would make sense.
However, at this moment, a cold light flashed, like a meteor.
