Shen Zhao: "At least you've confirmed one thing for me."
"Um?"
"You are just a stand-in for Xu Rong. The real Xu Rong calls himself 'I, the Lone King,' not 'This King,' right?"
"Oh, so what if you noticed? Do you think there's still hope of a comeback?"
"Comeback? Ha..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao's lips curled up slightly.
The air suddenly became quiet.
"Impersonator, I think you've been wrong about one thing from the very beginning."
"What!"
"What if I told you that all of this was part of my calculations?"
"What did you say!"
Meeting the calm and composed gaze, "Xu Rong's" face suddenly froze.
"ha……"
With a soft laugh, Shen Zhao slowly turned his back.
"I think the Seal of Sacrifice is your biggest bargaining chip, but..."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"My chips are going to be wasted. I prepared more than a dozen plans.
As a result, you chose the most foolish way to fall into a trap.
But have you ever considered that you've invited two powerful figures you can't afford to offend?
"Xu Rong" turned pale instantly.
...
"Sister Qingluan..."
Inside the ancestral hall of the Prince's Mansion, Mu Qiuyao stared at Jiang Qingluan with disbelief on her face, as if she couldn't believe that Jiang Qingluan would actually dare to kill her.
"What a surprise, Mu Qiuyao!"
Xu Rong shouted.
"What does it feel like to die at the hands of your most trusted sister? Just like me, the king, I was betrayed by the one I loved most!"
Jiang Qingluan's expression stiffened, and she tightened her grip on the sword twice.
"It's... the Seal of the Divine Sacrifice... right..."
"That's right, it's the God-Sacrifice Seal!"
Xu Rong directly admitted: "The little clay figurine has been planted with the God-Sacrificing Seal by my Xu family since she was young. The purpose is to prevent her from betraying my Xu family one day.
Now, I finally realize how wise my father's decision was, hahaha..."
As soon as the laughter stopped, Xu Rong clapped his hands.
"Now, accept your fate, Mu Qiuyao."
An overwhelming palm strike swept towards Mu Qiuyao's vital point.
He was on the verge of death.
Boom~
The Ziwei Emperor's aura suddenly burst out, and Mu Qiuyao repelled Xu Rong and Jiang Qingluan at the same time.
"Huh? What is this?!"
But Mu Qiuyao was completely unharmed, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.
She sneered, and then a piece of imperial armor appeared on her body.
"What is that?"
"I forgot to tell you, this is the imperial armor that my man insisted on giving me—the Phoenix Wing Armor—just to prevent what happened today."
"What!"
Xu Rong was instantly shocked.
Mu Qiuyao continued, "My husband had already anticipated that we might encounter a lot of trouble on this trip to the Prince's residence."
He had already prepared dozens of strategies to deal with any changes, and all possibilities were anticipated by him.
So, Xu Rong, we've seen through your tricks from the very beginning. Hahahaha, there's one more thing I want to tell you..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Qingluan slowly stood up. Her eyes were no longer weak, but full of determination.
Xu Fengqing was shocked: "Your Divine Seal has been broken? You were fully conscious just now?"
Jiang Qingluan raised the short blade: "How could I have rashly barged into your residence without being fully prepared?"
Xu Fengqing, do you still think I'm the naive and easily manipulated Jiang Ni from back then?
As soon as he finished speaking, the short blade shattered instantly, and a cloud of powder flashed out from it.
Mu Qiuyao sneered: "Was our act just now realistic?"
We already knew how to break the seal of the relinquished spirit.
Jiang Qingluan took over the conversation: "Use the moment you activate the God-Sacrificing Seal spell to quickly reverse the internal energy and suppress it.
Until the positive and negative impacts instantly dissipated the influence of the God-Sacrificing Seal on my soul,
The sword had already been coated with a powder to keep the wearer conscious.
Even though my body is out of control, my consciousness can still perceive things.
Mu Qiuyao: "Before we came here, we had already experimented no less than a hundred times. Sister Qingluan would subconsciously stab the sword at a designated location on my body.
In that very instant, your Divine Seal can be easily broken.
Xu Fengqing frowned: "I never expected that the Divine Seal of my Xu family could be broken in this way?"
Mu Qiuyao chuckled lightly: "That's for sure, because my man is a hundred times better than you."
Xu Fengqing clenched his fist, and veins bulged on his forehead.
It failed. I never expected that my opponent had anticipated all my plans. It was truly terrifying.
