Chapter 399 National Spirit
The Imperial Master wore a moon-white robe and held a stone mirror in his hand.
His hair and beard were all grey, and he looked like the one who had told Lu Chaochao's fortune.
"Master, the black dragon has awakened and broken free from the shackles left by our ancestors!"
"National Master, save the Southern Kingdom!"
"The Southern Kingdom and the Black Dragon have a blood feud. Once it gets out of control, it will definitely come to seek revenge on the royal family!" Perhaps because of his excitement, the old emperor's face was actually a little red.
"Father, don't worry. The Imperial Master has great powers and will surely help the Southern Kingdom solve its problems."
Nan Fengyu supported him, looking worried.
All the court officials had already run out of the Minguang Hall, and were terrified when they saw the black dragon wandering on the plaque of the Minguang Hall.
Rumor has it that a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the royal family of the Southern Kingdom trapped a black dragon in a prison.
The legend is actually true?
The Grand Master stood solemnly in front of the hall, his brows furrowed, counting with his fingers.
"Can I use the Mirror of Everything to see the situation in the Prison of Evil?"
"Recently, strange things have been happening frequently in the prison, and I don't know what has happened." The old emperor was quite uneasy. He had nightmares for some time, and he didn't know what the omen was.
The Grand Master pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The Grand Master placed the stone mirror on the altar. He pinched his fingers and injected a stream of spiritual power into the stone mirror.
General Lou pursed his lips, seeming to be a little conflicted inside, but he finally stood up and bowed respectfully to the Grand Master.
"Master, I don't know if Princess Zhaoyang is safe in the prison. Can you please take a look at her later?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Empress who came rushing over shouted, "General Lou! Don't forget your duty!"
"The entire Su family is still alive, and today I will see who dares to let her out!!"
The Queen lowered her head and wiped her tears: "Even if the Su family is wrong, it is your Majesty who should punish them. How can she kill the entire Su family? Where does she put your Majesty?"
"This Southern Kingdom belongs to the Nan family. It's not her turn to make the decision!"
"Besides, the Su family has been supporting the Southern Kingdom for thousands of years. Why would they be wiped out for such a small mistake?"
"I won't allow it! Lu Chaochao should die in prison!"
The queen felt heartbroken. The Su family did not leave a single survivor. Lu Chaochao was too cruel.
Lord Sang tugged at General Lou’s sleeve and shook his head gently at him.
General Lou retreated unwillingly.
The queen stood beside the emperor with a sullen face. Today, she would stand here and see who dared to let Lu Chaochao out!
The old emperor didn't say anything.
After weighing the pros and cons, although Lu Chaochao is a granddaughter, she is far inferior to his first wife and legitimate daughter who have accompanied him for many years. Besides, there is also the little goddess to suppress him.
"I remember that the stone mirror has the ability to look back..."
The Grand Master nodded: "You can go back one day."
He raised his long sleeves and waved them, and the water in the stone mirror quickly flowed backwards, and countless fallen ancient trees stood up one after another. Back to last night...
Everyone watched helplessly as thunderclouds gathered over the Bone Mountain and the Nine Heavens Thunder Struck the Bone Mountain into pieces.
He watched helplessly as the little black snake transformed.
Then, a white wrist appeared in the picture. The jade bracelet on her wrist turned into powder and flew away.
The more they looked, the darker their faces became.
"The Black Dragon has really escaped from its restraints!" The old emperor closed his eyes heavily. The scene he least wanted to see happened.
"The hell prison can't hold it."
The Grand Master was staring at the stone mirror in astonishment. Why did he seem to see a tiny shadow in the stone mirror?
The hell prison can be isolated from outside prying eyes, so it is not clear what can be seen.
“Imperial Master, what do you think we should do? The Black Dragon has been imprisoned for a thousand years, and I’m afraid the new and old grudges cannot be resolved peacefully.” The old emperor was worried. The Southern Kingdom and the Black Dragon had been at odds for a long time, what should we do?
The Grand Master obviously knew the reason.
"I once observed the celestial phenomena at night and saw that there was a disaster in the South."
"But in the midst of the disaster, there was a glimmer of hope. This glimmer of hope resolved the feud between the Southern Kingdom and the Black Dragon..."
There was a hint of joy in the emperor's eyes.
"The Black Dragon was suppressed by the gods because it flooded the South Country. Over the past thousand years, I believe its power has faded."
"And the ancestor who deceived it back then is dead. It will do it no good to dwell on the hatred."
"As long as we can offer him conditions that will impress him, we can turn hostility into friendship."
Nan Fengyu snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in her brows.
"The South Country now has so many divine servant families. Are they still afraid of it? A beast is a beast. How can it turn the world upside down?"
The Grand Master shook his head: "The servants of the gods are mortals after all. The gods suppressed the black dragon back then. Now, can you still summon the gods?"
Nan Fengyu frowned slightly: "When Yi'er ascends to heaven, the Southern Kingdom will also have its own gods! There's no need to worry about having no one to rely on!"
The old emperor waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, Imperial Master."
The Grand Master put his right hand behind his back and said calmly: "The Dragon Clan is naturally favored by the heavens. If they are bound to the Southern Kingdom, it will actually be beneficial to the Southern Kingdom. They will complement each other."
"Besides, I also have my own considerations."
"The Black Dragon is very powerful, but now it is suppressed and its strength has been greatly reduced. If the little goddess can make the Black Dragon recognize her master, it will be a great benefit to her!"
Nan Fengyu raised her head suddenly, her eyes wild with enthusiasm.
“Master, please explain in detail!” Nan Fengyu’s eyes were eager. Although her daughter was precocious, she would feel more at ease in the God Realm if she had a black dragon to protect her.
"The only thing the South can offer is its national destiny."
"Give it half of the country's fortune and establish it as a good omen for the South. It is the spirit of the South! In the future, when the little goddess recognizes her master, the country's fortune will belong to her! The South will not lose anything."
Nan Fengyu had already nodded happily, okay, okay!
He couldn't even suppress the joy in his eyes.
The old emperor hesitated a little, but the destiny of the country was no joke. That is the foundation of the entire South Country...
Nan Fengyu stepped forward and supported the old emperor.
"Father, it will come true sooner or later."
"Yier, what else are you worried about, you and Nanguo?"
"Yier is the reincarnation of a goddess, born into the Nan family. In the future, when Yier returns to the Ninth Heaven, will she still not remember our love?"
Nan Fengyu suppressed the heat in her heart and advised in a low voice.
All the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads and said nothing. If the fate of the country was given to Nan Zhiyi, then the throne could only be passed on to that lineage.
The old emperor was silent for a long time: "Forget it, I will accept it."
Nan Fengyu's lips curled up slightly, a smile filled her eyes, and her heart was pounding.
The destiny of the country cannot fall into the hands of others. Once my daughter obtains the destiny of the country, the throne will definitely be hers!
"Send someone to persuade Black Dragon. Once he agrees, have someone prepare the incense table and make all the necessary preparations to welcome Black Dragon out of prison."
"This is a grand event for the Southern Kingdom. Inform the people of the Southern Capital so that everyone can come together to see the appearance of the national spirit."
After the old emperor gave his orders, he felt weak all over and fell backwards.
Nan Fengyu caught it in time and did not fall.
"Your Majesty, Xu Shiyun is asking for a meeting outside the palace. Probably, she is here for Princess Zhaoyang!" the eunuch said in a low voice.
But the old emperor looked tired and drowsy.
The queen said calmly, "No."
"If she has the ability, she can come out by herself."
"If she has the ability to come out alive, she will be pardoned!" The queen sneered. Even if she had three heads and six arms, she could not escape from the evil prison!
