Bei Mingchuan stopped pretending to be dead.
"Tell me your conditions," Tuoba Qing asked.
"From now on, we will no longer concern ourselves with the affairs of the martial world, and I will not raise an army to rebel, so you can rest assured. But you must treat us as if we are dead, and you cannot see us or look for us." Bei Mingchuan stated his request, putting his arm around Mu Tiantian's shoulder.
He stood up and continued, "Even if you happen to meet us one day, you must pretend you don't know us."
The main reason was that he didn't want Tuoba Qing to have any more illusions about Mu Tiantian.
Therefore, he didn't want them to meet.
Tuoba Qing could naturally understand the meaning behind his words, and he was unwilling to accept it.
But what could he do, no matter how unwilling he was? Just as Mu Tiantian had said in her letter, Bei Mingchuan was powerful and if he wanted to rebel, the world would be thrown into chaos.
"Alright, I agree, but you must also withdraw your people from the palace."
"As long as the Crown Prince acts according to the agreement, my men will withdraw on their own."
“Bei Mingchuan has been killed by Bu Xiuyi, the Palace Master of Wuji Palace, and Mu Tiantian followed him in death. From this day forward, there will be no more Bei Mingchuan Mu Tiantian in this world.” Tuoba Qing’s voice was loud and clear, and all the guards present could hear it.
Before long, this news will spread throughout the martial arts world.
Mu Tiantian only found out later.
It turns out that the assassination of the emperor and the suppression of the Feng family were all orchestrated by Bei Mingchuan and Tuoba Qing.
The assassination attempt on the emperor in the palace was carried out by people from Beimingchuan posing as members of the Fengfo Sect.
The people of Beimingchuan were able to enter the imperial palace with the help of Tuoba Qing.
The reigning emperor was licentious and cruel, and had abused Tuoba Qing's mother, causing her death.
Therefore, from that time on, Tuoba Qing thought about getting rid of the emperor one day.
But this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Later, Bei Mingchuan found him and said he could help him.
He had no choice but to cooperate with Bei Mingchuan.
The two began to draft a plan.
The Feng family has always cooperated with the imperial court.
Although the emperor appointed Tuoba Qing as crown prince, the father and son were actually at odds with each other.
Because Tuoba Qing had personally witnessed the emperor accidentally kill his mother.
Therefore, the emperor never trusted Tuoba Qing.
However, only Tuoba Qing remained among the princes, leaving no other choice but to make him the crown prince.
However, the emperor was always keeping an eye on Tuoba Qing.
This also applies to marrying Fengxue to him.
The emperor originally took a liking to Feng Xue and wanted to marry her into the palace as a concubine, but Feng Xue loved Tuoba Qing.
For the sake of long-term interests, the emperor took advantage of this and wanted to completely control Tuoba Qing's situation.
After the death of the third prince Tuoba Yin, the emperor still wanted to kill Bei Mingchuan and obtain the other half of the treasure map.
However, Bei Mingchuan hid himself, and Tuoba Qing also intended to conceal the truth, so the troops sent by the court to search for Bei Mingchuan found nothing.
Even after they learned that Bei Mingchuan had established the Xuanbing Pavilion, they still couldn't find out where it was.
In order to force Bei Mingchuan to reveal himself, the emperor ordered the people of the Fengfo Sect to impersonate the Xuanbing Pavilion and commit evil deeds.
Over time, other wicked people in the martial arts world also began to act recklessly under the name of Xuanbing Pavilion.
The rumor that the treasure map was in Mu Tiantian's belly was also something the emperor guessed.
He heard that Bei Mingchuan had delayed burying Mu Tiantian's body, so he assumed that the treasure map was still on Mu Tiantian's body.
He guessed that Mu Tiantian might have swallowed the treasure map.
So he had Tuoba Qing spread this speculation.
This sparked a scramble among various figures in the martial arts world for Mu Tiantian's corpse.
This would make it much easier for the imperial court to find people.
However, no matter what, the imperial court was unable to obtain any information about the Beiming River and the treasure map.
It wasn't until the Feng family persuaded some other sects to agree to the "ban on martial arts" and submit to the imperial court that the situation changed.
The emperor then issued an order to seal off Wushuang Manor and other sects that were unwilling to submit to the court, hoping to force Beimingchuan to reveal himself.
At the same time, we must govern the martial arts world and eliminate threats.
Fengyang was also ordered by the emperor to obtain the treasure map before Tuoba Qing.
Feng Xue, on the other hand, was required to report Tuoba Qing's itinerary at all times, including who he had met and what he had said.
However, Tuoba Qing knew all of this, so he began to work on a plan with Bei Mingchuan.
Take advantage of the closure of Wushuang Manor to kill the emperor.
This collaboration allowed Tuoba Qing to fully witness the true strength of Beimingchuan.
The foundation of Bei Mingchuan was entirely laid by Mu Tiantian during those five years.
If he wanted to be emperor, perhaps this empire...
It has long since changed hands...
Since the treasure map was burned.
After Tuoba Qing ascended the throne, he ordered the execution of Feng Xue and Feng Yang on charges of regicide and treason.
Although the Feng family submitted to the imperial court, Feng Yang harbored great ambitions. Even though he obeyed the emperor's orders to seize the treasure map, he actually intended to keep it for himself.
Such ambition must not be allowed to continue.
Feng Xue was indeed just being used.
However, her conspiring with Ye Ning to murder Mu Tiantian crossed Tuoba Qing's bottom line.
So neither of the siblings survived.
However, Tuoba Qing did not go too far.
Most of the other disciples of the Phoenix Buddha Sect were sensible and were willing to abandon their martial arts and leave on their own.
Those who were unwilling to change their minds and insisted on defending the sect were all detained and will be released when they come to their senses.
Those sects that were on good terms with the Phoenix Buddha Sect were law-abiding and kept a very low profile.
After Tuoba Qing ascended the throne, he did not continue the "ban on martial arts," but instead allowed various sects to take in disciples and operate independently.
However, if a disciple of a sect causes trouble, such as disregarding the law and using force to oppress the people, then the entire sect will suffer as a result.
Bu Xiuyi's poison has been cured by Bei Mingchuan, and he has returned to Wuji Palace to continue serving as the palace master.
Bu Qingtian was sent back to Wuji Palace by the people of Beimingchuan.
According to Bu Qingtian, he was initially captured by the sect leader of the Fengfo Sect.
The sect leader of the Phoenix Buddha Sect not only wanted the secret manual of the Nine Star Yin Yang Record, but also wanted to get the whereabouts of the treasure map out of Bu Qingtian.
This was all because Bu Qingtian was on good terms with Xing Wusong, who was also Mu Tiantian's master and Bei Mingchuan's grandmaster.
He then felt that Bu Qingtian must know something.
Sect Master Feng thought that since they couldn't capture Bei Mingchuan and the others, they would try to extract information from Bu Qingtian.
But in the end, he was outmatched and died in a fight with Bu Qingtian.
After escaping from the Phoenix Buddha Sect, Bu Qingtian was discovered by the Wan Du Sect and kidnapped.
This news quickly reached Bei Mingchuan's ears.
He deliberately leaked the information to Bu Xiuyi, so that Bu Xiuyi could go to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to look for people.
Bu Moyan possesses a copy of the Yin Record from the Nine Star Yin Yang Record, which is also a message sent by an undercover agent from Bei Mingchuan in the Wuji Palace.
Only then was Bei Mingchuan able to bring Bu Moyan back to Xuanbing Pavilion and force her to hand over the Yin Record.
Finally, Bu Xiu also attracted the people of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, who took Mu Tiantian away.
All of this was within Bei Mingchuan's calculations.
According to Bei Mingchuan's original plan, if he could not revive Mu Tiantian, he would take advantage of the court's closure of Wushuang Manor to rebel and start a war.
After the world descends into chaos, he will hold Mu Tiantian's corpse and await death.
She said she wanted peace.
So he did his best to plan and develop his network, so that the peace or unrest of the world would be in his own hands, entirely up to him.
With her presence, there is peace in the world.
With her gone, the world perished with her.
She chose to die, leaving him to live on alone.
Then he would also die so that everyone in the world would be buried with her.
He wanted her to know what the consequences would be if she abandoned him.
Years later, Bei Mingchuan said these words to Mu Tiantian.
Mu Tiantian bluntly called him a madman.
He just smiled and said, "It's not so bad to be crazy, at least I'll wait for you to come back."
He always had a gut feeling that if he didn't go mad...
I may never see her again in this lifetime...
