Chapter 143 The Emperor Gets Furious



Wu Wei absorbed everything about Sheng Xiang and, through Sheng Xiang's memories, gained insight into the secrets hidden in Kyoto.

They even managed to find clues about the whereabouts of the seal.

I'm just not sure.

This clue is that after each emperor ascends the throne, he will dispatch his strongest elite squad to search the world for the whereabouts of the imperial seal.

A rumor once circulated that the emperor received a clue about the imperial seal and began searching for it.

Whether this news is true or false, the fact that every emperor would send people to search for the seal proves that the emperor did indeed know the whereabouts of the seal.

However, seals possess spirituality and the ability to choose their owners, making them difficult for others to find.

Lingbao possesses spirituality and usually rejects those who are different from it.

It's not hard to imagine the hints and exclusions of the seal; it prevented people from finding it, yet it provided hints to each emperor, which must have been subject to certain restrictions.

If an emperor fails to meet the requirements indicated by the seal, it is impossible to obtain the seal's approval; searching the world for the seal is simply a waste of effort.

This shows that the retired emperor must have known the contents of the seal.

At this moment, Zheng Ya throws out the precious jade and asks Fu Qianshi to dismiss everyone so he can inquire about the whereabouts of the seal. However, he falls into the perception of the servant who is secretly monitoring their conversation.

Madam Fu broke out in a cold sweat: "Oh dear, my dear grandson Baoyu, let's not discuss this..."

"Our ancestor should know that his grandson was born with a magical jade pendant, but he doesn't know that his grandson often dreams of communicating with the seal in his dreams..." Fu Ying set a trap for Fu Qianshi according to the proposal given by Zheng Ya.

The Fu Ying of today is no longer the Fu Ying of the past.

Fu Ying was once given a puppet pill by Zheng Ya's servants, who then impersonated Fu Ying and were ambushed and killed. Fu Ying escaped by faking her death.

Zheng Ya didn't do anything to Fu Ying; he merely placed her under house arrest and instilled in her a set of theories to change her original cynical and naive nature, keeping her for future use.

Before this, Zheng Ya used Fu Ying for his own amusement and torment, all to avenge the original owner of Fu Ya's fate.

Unexpectedly, there will be a time when Fu Ying's help will be needed.

Fu Ying has now been made a superhuman by Zheng Ya, but this has not changed her misanthropic nature much. Instead, she has become obsessed with cultivation.

After all, Fu Ying was always in Zheng Ya's little world of supernatural abilities, with nothing to do and no one to talk to.

Yes, but that was because Zheng Ya was boring, so they teased him and played with him.

This caused Fu Ying both pain and joy, leading her to become fascinated with spiritual practice and, to some extent, altering her mindset and original intentions.

In order to break free from Zheng Ya's control, he had to do something for Zheng Ya: he would be free if he could find the imperial seal through a staged performance.

But Fu Ying was unaware of her own worth.

Naturally formed spiritual treasures attract the covetous eyes of cultivators from all over the world.

The recent revelation that Lingbao and the seal met in a dream is undoubtedly a bombshell.

The evil spirit Wu Wei was so shocked that he almost rushed out to grab Fu Ying, much to the disappointment of the benevolent spirit: "You chickened out..."

"Shut up! This was all Zheng Ya's doing, forcing Fu Ying to put on a show and trick Fu Qian into revealing the whereabouts of the seal. Do you think I'm stupid enough to fall for it?" The evil spirit Wu Wei roared inwardly in exasperation, having almost been fooled.

She wasn't fooled, but Emperor Chengping was. Before Fu Qianshi could even cover Fu Ying's mouth in shock and say anything, he manipulated the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Demon-Suppressing Array to trap her: "Buzz..."

The power of confinement arose from the ground, instantly binding Fu Ying and his grandson, and also binding five servants who rushed towards the main hall of the Duke of Dai's mansion.

In fact, not all the powerful families that survived in Kyoto were loyal to Emperor Taisei.

The vast majority of families were loyal to Xie Ming, but outwardly obeyed Emperor Chengping while inwardly defying him.

Emperor Chengping had previously not held a grudge against Xie Ming and was wholeheartedly devoted to befriending him. He was willing to give everything to cultivate his supernatural abilities with Xie Ming and ascend to the upper realm, and he remained steadfast in his original intention.

But the situation has changed.

The Emperor Emeritus revealed the secret of the imperial seal to Emperor Chengping, which compelled Emperor Chengping to desire the seal in order to stabilize everything.

The seal was once a treasure that guarded the eye of the Heavenly Array and guided the rules of Heaven. Once you gain the seal's approval, controlling the seal to suppress everything seems like no big deal.

At that time, Xie Ming would obediently submit to the seal and be at the mercy of Emperor Chengping. Naturally, it would be impossible for Xie Ming's people to take away Fu Ying and seize the seal.

Emperor Chengping, known as "Husha," teleported to the main hall of the Duke of Dai's mansion using a grand formation: "Fu Qianshi, why don't you kneel to greet me? Could it be that the Fu family is plotting a rebellion?"

"Your Majesty, this humble woman pays her respects!" Fu Qianshi exclaimed in shock, reaching out to pull Baoyu to kneel before the Emperor. Fu Ying shook off her hand, stepped aside, and said with disdain, "You, an emperor who cannot obtain the seal of approval, are you so proud?"

"Fu Ying, your nickname is Baoyu, right?"

"Do you know what you're saying?" Emperor Chengping thought about many things in an instant, feeling that Baoyu knew quite a lot.

But here's the problem.

Despite being spoiled by the Fu family, Baoyu remained lecherous and ignorant of worldly affairs, having no connection whatsoever with matters related to seals.

Furthermore, Baoyu was kidnapped by Zheng Ya for three or four months, far from the capital, and thus far from anyone who knew about the seal, making it even more impossible for him to know anything about the seal.

So how did Baoyu learn about the seal?

Surely it couldn't have been Zheng Ya who told Baoyu?

Did they tell Baoyu the false news about the seal, staging a scheme?

Even so, it was just a staged act to trick Qian Shi into revealing the whereabouts of the seal, and it had nothing to do with Emperor Chengping, right?

After all, Emperor Chengping did not believe that Zheng Ya would dare to come to the capital and walk into a trap. He believed that Bao Yu might escape from Zheng Ya's hands and was preparing to find the seal and start a rebellion.

This seemed to be the only chance for the Fu family to seize power and rise to power.

Regardless of the possibility, Emperor Chengping believed that capturing Baoyu and Fu Qianshi would be half the battle won, and the rest could be decided later.

Having endured much abuse from Zheng Ya, Fu Ying boldly retorted: "Your branch of illegitimate princes have not ascended to the throne properly."

Naturally, it wouldn't gain the seal's approval, no problem!

"Tell me where the seal is, and I will forgive the Fu family for their crimes of deceiving the emperor and plotting rebellion?" Emperor Chengping saw his disdainful expression and saw Xie Ming and his lackeys struggling desperately, so he became angry and pressed him.

At this moment, Wu Wei was extremely nervous, screaming in her heart, "No, Bao Yu couldn't possibly know the whereabouts of the seal, he wouldn't know anything about it..."

"You're scared, hehehe, scared that Baoyu will tell the emperor where the seal is, and that you'll lose your chance to seize it..." Shanhun Wuwei mocked.

The evil spirit Wu Wei was so angry that his teeth ached: "Damn Zheng Ya, what on earth is he playing at?"

"That's because you're as stupid as a pig, you didn't expect Zheng Ya to be so unpredictable and counter your plan. It's so satisfying..." Shan Hun Wu Wei was happy to see her get the short end of the stick.

The evil spirit Wu Wei was so angry that his head throbbed. Zheng Ya, hiding three hundred meters in the air, watched the show with a smile from the void: "Is this show about to reach its climax?"

"Hehe, aren't you afraid that Baoyu will ruin the performance?" Daiyu still couldn't understand where Baoyu got the courage to go against the emperor.

The former Baoyu would cry and whine whenever he saw Zheng Ya, appearing to be a cowardly and spineless coward.

Is it reasonable for him to stand up to the emperor head-on now, without any fear?

Zheng Ya was pleased: "The right medicine works wonders; the following scenes will be very interesting..."

"Well, what if Baoyu messes up the performance? What will you do then?" Daiyu still didn't think Baoyu was capable of doing anything right.
