Prince Rong was unable to defend himself. Under the strong pressure from the retired emperor, he took out a magic sword from his storage bag, pointed it angrily at the retired emperor, and ordered a rebellion.
The very purpose of Prince Rong's secret guards was to assassinate two emperors. The guards responded swiftly, drawing their swords and charging towards the two emperors in the street.
The Imperial Guards fought desperately, and a bloody battle ensued: "Kill! Ahhh!"
The retired emperor made a decisive move, raising his hand to issue an edict: "Guards, bring this rebellious son to me, and kill the rest of the rebels without mercy!"
"Yes!" Tianyuan Shangren and the others responded to the order and formed an array. Before Prince Rong could step on his magic sword and fly out of the Five Elements Forbidden Array, Prince Rong was pressed to the ground by the array and struggled desperately, roaring: "No, you who betrayed me will not have a good end either."
"I know now. It's all because Fu Ya invited the immortal master of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect to scare you fence-sitters. I'm ruthless..."
"Oh ho, Prince Rong, you've become a prisoner under the forbidden formation, and you still have the nerve to resent others!"
"Isn't all of this the result of your actions?" Zheng Ya's puppet doppelganger retorted disdainfully, "Where were you before?"
By this time, the smarter people realized that the retired emperor's surprise attack tactic had worked.
Killing two birds with one stone, becoming the biggest winner.
The cultivators, including Master Tianyuan, stayed by the Emperor Emeritus's side from beginning to end. Even when they heard that the demonic dragon had been provoked into releasing the assassins to wreak havoc on the capital, potentially causing countless casualties or even destroying the capital, they remained calm and composed. Why?
There is no other reason for them to remain calm and even watch the show with a sneer, except that they had anticipated it and planned it beforehand.
In this light, it seems that the retired emperor was indirectly forcing Prince Rong to hand over the demonic dragon and to incite Prince Rong to rebel, thereby bringing out those who were secretly plotting to usurp the throne and those who harbored treacherous intentions to kill others, so that they could be wiped out in one fell swoop.
The substitute puppet understood. Zheng Ya was less than a hundred miles away from the substitute puppet, so they were naturally connected and understood a principle: the imperial family is ruthless.
Prince Rong struggled resentfully and roared within the Five Elements Forbidden Array: "Ahhh, I hate it!"
Father, you are biased. You would rather abandon your son than expose the immortal master and the forces plotting to usurp the throne. I wish I could kill them all…
"Buzz!" Tianyuan Shangren transmitted his voice to the cultivators forming the array, while simultaneously increasing the output of his magic power, causing the array to unleash its binding power, which knocked Prince Rong unconscious in one fell swoop.
The retired emperor caught a glimpse of pity on Emperor Chengping's face and coldly snorted, "Prince Rong privately raised a demonic dragon, allowing certain forces to use him as a tool to kill, attempting to overthrow the imperial power. His crime does not warrant death, but cut off his arm, behead him!"
With a "whoosh," the Emperor Emeritus commanded his magic sword to fly out and sever Prince Rong's right arm.
This made Emperor Chengping breathe a sigh of relief, abandon his pity, and display a submissive and obedient demeanor, which made the retired emperor look down on him a bit. The retired emperor warned him in a telepathic voice: "Emperor, do you know your mistake?"
"Father, your son is still incompetent and unable to command respect throughout the land. I humbly request your guidance!" Emperor Chengping mistakenly thought he was being reprimanded and was terrified. Could it be that his father wanted to reclaim the throne and depose him?
The retired emperor, who knew his son better than anyone else, transmitted his voice with disappointment: "Hmph, the emperor is wary of his father, I am very disappointed!"
"Your subject is terrified!" Emperor Chengping was numb and gave a perfunctory reply. The retired emperor had no time to waste with him and turned to Zheng Ya's stand-in puppet, who was watching the commotion from the side. He cupped his hands and said, "Viscount Fu, I trouble you to invite the immortal master to suppress the demonic dragon."
To prevent the demonic dragon from bringing disaster upon the common people!
"Ah, this..." The substitute puppet was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Meanwhile, the Dark Guard Legion around the street had been partially killed by the Imperial Guard with the help of the worshippers, while the rest of the Legion fled under the cover of night and the chaos of the battle.
Fu Qianshi, who had escaped the disaster, seized the opportunity to interject: "Ya Ge'er, it is a great blessing to invite the immortal master to save the world."
It's an honor for the Fu family, so what are you waiting for?
"Yes, Brother Ya, please ask the immortal master to subdue the demon dragon, make a name for yourselves throughout the world, and let everyone remember the kindness of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect."
"The Fu family can also rise with the tide and restore the glory of their ancestors. Ya-ge'er, don't hesitate, quickly invite the immortal master to suppress the demonic dragon!" Fu Lian excitedly interjected, trying to gain attention and eagerly hoping that the two emperors would look up to him.
Master Tianyuan finished his practice and laughed, "The immortal masters in the Qianyuan Immortal Sect possess boundless magical power."
Perhaps only the Immortal Master Qian Yuan could suppress the demonic dragon.
Ten years ago, a demonic dragon destroyed most of the capital, causing the deaths of two to three hundred thousand people.
This is a great act of merit that saves all people and brings blessings to the world.
I doubt that Immortal Master Qian Yuan would stand idly by.
"On behalf of all the people of the capital, I beg Viscount Fu to invite a celestial master to subdue the demonic dragon. Otherwise, the emergence of the demonic dragon will cause widespread suffering and death." Emperor Chengping finally found an opportunity to speak. By befriending Fu Ya and inviting a celestial master to suppress the demonic dragon, he could make the retired emperor wary and dare not depose him.
The retired emperor was speechless; had the emperor's mind gone completely astray?
The puppet was communicating with Zheng Ya, not daring to speak lightly, when Emperor Chengping, wielding his imperial sword, pointed it to the sky and then swung it downwards, ordering the imperial guards to kneel before the puppet and bow, pleading: "Please, Viscount Fu, summon the immortal master to suppress the demonic dragon!"
Tens of thousands of imperial guards shouted in unison, their voices echoing across the fields.
Zheng Ya's substitute puppet had no choice but to reply hastily: "Alright, I have already activated the secret technique to request the immortal masters from the immortal sect to take action!"
The scene fell silent as everyone eagerly awaited the answer.
The clamor of thousands of people requesting the immortal master spread, alarming Wu Wei, who was heading towards Prince Rong's mansion. He joined in the fun, saying, "Zheng Ya, let's see what you do now."
"With your meager skills, let's see how you subdue the demonic dragon and how you clean up the mess!"
"Damn it, two emperors have no martial virtue. They deliberately tested the strength of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect and used others to kill us!" Zheng Ya had already escaped into the air near the Rong Prince's mansion, watching the assassins smashing houses and prying up floor tiles from above.
Everyone is searching for the dragon's hiding place.
Even Zheng Ya couldn't sense the dragon's heat signature as it hid in the void, waiting to spy on it.
My heart was already in turmoil; the art of imperial power was truly formidable.
Wu Wei snorted repeatedly and complained on the phone: "Hmph, you're only just finding out now!"
You won't be at ease until you kill me, Princess?
The retired emperor was not merely using someone else to do his dirty work; he clearly intended to use the power of the demonic dragon to destroy the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect, so that the royal family could reap the benefits.
The key issue is that the demonic dragon is too powerful and cannot be suppressed by anyone.
Then you, the culprit who fabricated the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect, cannot suppress the demonic dragon, which means you are facing a dead end.
Do you know what this means?
"Haha, that means my fabricated lies are about to be exposed, followed by infamy, and I'll be insulted and hunted down by everyone, right?" Zheng Ya saw through the Emperor Emeritus's scheme, which was quite accurate and impressive.
This is an absolutely insane scheme, risking the lives of the entire population of Kyoto to demonstrate the ruthlessness and supreme power of the imperial family.
Wu Wei laughed: "You actually know that!"
You've ruined me; all my efforts are about to go to waste.
What should I do?
“What the heck, wait, there’s a demonic dragon here…” Zheng Ya didn’t know what to do either. While he was replying, he discovered that the assassins below had triggered the formation in the basement, revealing the demonic dragon that was shrouded in the underground river.
"Roar!" A demonic dragon is born...
