Just after Qingliu entered the palace.
More than ten people then appeared in Empress Lin Wanqing's palace.
The leader was an old man with a sinister face.
When she saw the old man, Empress Dayang actually knelt down and bowed.
"Disciple Lin Wanqing greets the Sixth Elder."
The Sixth Elder nodded slightly.
"Get up."
After taking his seat in the first place, the Sixth Elder looked at Lin Wanqing.
"Are you sure?"
Lin Wanqing quickly replied upon hearing this.
"Reporting to the Sixth Elder, after so many years of investigation, it can be basically confirmed that the Chunyang Mountain Range is the place where the Great Sun Venerable passed away."
The main reason why Lin Wanqing was accepted as a disciple by the Ghost Fiend Sect was because the sect leader had investigated her for many years.
It has been basically confirmed that the place where the supreme being of that time, the Venerable Mahavairocana, passed away was within the territory of Mahavairocana.
Lin Wanqing was originally a member of the Dayang Lin family, so having her investigate would not attract too much attention from other forces.
Lin Wanqing became empress for two reasons: first, to benefit the Lin family, and second, to use the power of the royal family to complete the task assigned by the Ghost Fiend Sect Master.
The leader of the Ghost Fiend Sect also promised that after obtaining all the inheritances of the Great Sun Venerable, he would help the Lin family ascend to the throne of the Great Sun Dynasty.
The colorful and vicious nature of the human heart was on full display at this moment.
When faced with absolute self-interest, marital affection is worthless.
While Lin Wanqing is outwardly the esteemed Empress of Dayang, she secretly aspires to become the new dynasty's empress.
After the Sixth Elder nodded in satisfaction, Lin Wanqing continued.
"Sixth Elder, Chongyang has already welcomed Lord Qingliu into the palace. With Lord Qingliu going to hold off the Dean of Cangqiong Academy, I believe he will make a move against the Shenwei Marquis's Mansion tomorrow. As soon as he makes a move, our opportunity will come."
Lin Wanqing looked excitedly at the Sixth Elder as she spoke.
“Chongyang has secretly set up the Qianjin Ten Killing Formation, using the Golden Dragon of National Fortune as the core of the formation. Once this formation is activated, it will surely kill the younger generation of the Yi family and Dongfang Zhige here.”
"But after killing the younger generation of the Yi family and Dongfang Zhige, Chongyang will surely be extremely weak. That will be the best time to seize the Golden Dragon of National Fortune and kill Chongyang. However, after killing Chongyang..."
After listening to Lin Wanqing's words, the Sixth Elder nodded slightly.
"It's alright. Lord Qingliu's visit was merely a matter of convenience and he has little interaction with Chongyang himself. After killing Chongyang, I will personally step in and promise him many benefits."
"The change of the throne in such a small country is not a big deal. As long as Lord Qingliu goes back to the Divine Realm and puts in a good word for you, you will be able to take over the throne without any problem."
After speaking, he looked at Lin Wanqing.
"But all of this is predicated on ensuring that the sect leader's plan is foolproof; otherwise, you know the consequences."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing knelt down again.
"Sixth Elder, rest assured, after I take the throne, I will use the power of the Golden Dragon of the Nation's Fortune to seal off the Chunyang Mountain Range. I will also secretly kill the people near the Chunyang Mountain Range to ensure that the news of the Sect Master's arrival will not leak out."
...
After inviting Qingliu to rest in a large hall.
Emperor Chongyang arrived at the Golden Dragon of National Fortune in the center of the palace. After closing his eyes and confirming that there were no problems with the Ten Killing Formations of the Golden Dragon, he turned his head to look in the direction of the Empress's bedroom.
"Did you think this grand formation was only prepared for the Xi family and Dongfang Zhige?"
After saying that, a cold smile appeared on Emperor Chongyang's lips.
"I'm letting you know all this so you can ask the Ghost Fiend Sect for help."
"The flesh and soul of a Ghost Fiend Sect elder at the early stage of Nascent Soul, six Nascent Soul cultivators, and several high-level Core Formation experts are enough for me to step into the Nascent Soul realm in one fell swoop."
After taking a deep breath, Emperor Chongyang slowly closed his eyes.
"In fact, the grand formation I have set up is called Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Spirits. It uses the formation to devour spirits and nourish itself. This is the killing trap I have been planning for many years to set up for all of you."
"All the best shows will be on tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to it."
...
The next day.
As dawn broke, imperial edicts were delivered to the residences of all high-ranking officials in the capital.
The crown prince showed no remorse during his confinement, demonstrating a severe lack of moral character.
After careful consideration, His Majesty has decided to remove the Crown Prince and reinstate the heir apparent.
He then summoned all officials of the rank of marquis and above to the palace to jointly decide on the selection of the crown prince.
After the imperial decree was delivered to the Marquis's residence, Xiao Boqi smiled slightly after reading its contents.
"Are we about to begin?"
Then, leading Qi Shanlin and the others, they slowly headed towards the palace.
The atmosphere in the capital today is very strange.
The once bustling streets were now deserted, and all the shops along the street were closed.
When they arrived at the palace gates, Dongfang Zhige was already waiting there.
He Boqi stepped forward and bowed.
"Grandson greets Grandfather."
Dongfang Zhige smiled and nodded at Yi Boqi.
Afterwards, amidst the salutations of numerous officials, he and Ye Boqi entered the palace.
After walking through the long corridor, they stopped in the square in front of the main hall.
After stopping, Ye Boqi looked up at the huge sculpture in the center of the square.
That is a statue of the founding emperor of the Great Yang Dynasty.
Above the statue, in mid-air, a giant golden dragon symbolizing the nation's destiny coiled.
After glancing at the enormous golden dragon symbolizing the nation's destiny, Yi Boqi narrowed his eyes slightly.
She then stood quietly beside her grandfather, waiting for the palace servants to come and summon her.
As time went on, the square in front of the main hall became filled with officials from across the capital.
Just as the bell rang, a figure dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe appeared on the steps in front of the main hall.
