Ch 257: Entering The Capital
“Take them down!”
Since Chu Shenqiao is dead, Commander Chen and Duan Mengqing also struggled to their feet, immediately ordering the Demon Suppression Division and the Black Armored Army.
Meng Wei, at this time, looked at Chu Shenqiao’s corpse, his whole person utterly despondent.
He slowly walked over, not even looking at Dao Canggu, until he reached Chu Shenqiao’s corpse, where he knelt down.
His gaze was somewhat vacant.
The Star Luo Kingdom Old Ancestor is dead.
For so many years, Yunhuang has been able to survive thanks to Chu Shenqiao’s lingering prestige, with few daring to provoke them.
Now that Chu Shenqiao is dead, their Yunhuang is finished.
So even when Duan Mengqing came and seized Meng Wei, Meng Wei did not resist, only staring blankly at Chu Shenqiao’s corpse.
As if having lost his fighting spirit.
The Demon Race, kill those who can be killed and capture those who can be captured.
With the Demon Suppression Division present, they had no way to resist. Even the Demon Venerable, upon seeing that the Human Race had an Immortal Realm expert, gave up resisting.
He knew that he could not possibly escape from this Immortal Realm expert’s hands.
“Thank you, Senior Dao Canggu.”
The two clasped their fists towards Dao Canggu.
“No need to thank me, I only do what I’m paid for. I’ve hidden the Medicine King in a nearby cave; you can find him yourselves.” Dao Canggu shook his head and then left the scene.
The rest of the people from the small sects were also mostly cleared out by the Tang Sect, and when they arrived here, they found that there was no one left.
But the corpses on the ground showed them that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Especially when they saw Chu Shenqiao’s corpse, they were even more incredulous.
“Star Luo War Immortal.”
A strong person from Divine Peak Mountain recognized Chu Shenqiao’s identity.
“Star Luo War Immortal?”
“Star Luo Kingdom’s former Number One Expert?”
“I heard that in terms of strength, he was even stronger than Hong Ruhai. To think such a strong person would die here.” Tang Siyue couldn’t help but say.
“Star Luo Kingdom’s former Number One Expert, that was in the past.” Tang Wanshu sighed lightly. “Many people thought he was dead, but in fact he was seriously injured, using Blood-Stopping Life-Preservation in Yunhuang, not daring to easily make a move. Unexpectedly, he still died in the hands of the Divine Palace Kingdom; this is probably fate.”
When Yu Qinghe learned of the assassination’s failure, he collapsed onto the chair.
“It was a deception?”
Yu Qinghe murmured, unable to believe it.
“So Father Emperor wasn’t assassinated at all?” Yu Qinghe felt his heart pounding.
“Your Highness needn’t worry. You did everything flawlessly, and those Jianghu people haven’t admitted their identities. There’s no evidence to show that Your Highness is responsible.” The woman beside him continued to comfort him.
“Is that so?”
Yu Qinghe grasped the woman’s hand as if grasping a lifeline.
“Your Highness, rest assured, it will be alright.”
The woman quickly said.
“That’s good, that’s good, no evidence is good.” Yu Qinghe, shaken and frightened, sat down trembling.
He had just picked up his teacup with trembling hands when he heard someone shout from outside, “Your Highness, news has come from the Dragon Court; His Majesty requires your presence.”
Crash.
Yu Qinghe fell directly from the chair to the ground.
His face was deathly pale.
He almost urinated himself.
Could it be that his deeds have been exposed?
“Your Highness.”
The person beside him quickly helped Yu Qinghe up.
But at this moment, Yu Qinghe’s legs had gone weak; it was difficult for him to stand up.
Meanwhile, at Ninth Prince Yu Qingyang’s mansion, Yu Qingyang also received the message to go to the Dragon Court.
Yu Qingyang tidied his clothes, left the mansion, got on his carriage, and headed towards the Dragon Court.
As Yu Qingyang left the mansion, several people were already watching his movements from a small building opposite the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
“Eldest Daughter, Yu Qingyang has come out.”
Someone ran downstairs. The first floor was a cosmetics shop, and inside, a figure was sitting.
Inside the room, a middle-aged couple was tied up, their faces filled with fear.
Outside, people from Star Luo Kingdom were greeting the guests.
“Yu Qingyang is out?”
“Follow him closely and proceed according to the plan.”
When Emperor Yu Yang appeared, the turmoil in the Dragon Court finally subsided.
Seeing that Emperor Yu Yang was unharmed, only a bandage wrapped around his arm, the Ministers at the Imperial Court were dumbfounded.
Wasn’t he supposed to be dead?
They had already begun to choose sides.
But only an arm injury?
For a moment, they looked at each other in astonishment, their hearts filled with indescribable complexity.
“Gentlemen, you seem quite disappointed to see that I am unharmed.” Emperor Yu Yang looked at the numerous Courtiers below in the Imperial Court, as well as his Princes and Princesses, and smiled.
Hearing this, everyone immediately knelt down.
One by one, they hastily fabricated irrelevant words.
It sounded extremely fake.
Some Princes even burst into tears on the spot.
They cried a torrent of tears.
Expressing their worry for Emperor Yu Yang.
“Alright, all of you may rise.” Emperor Yu Yang did not mind, saying indifferently, “You have shown your concern.”
Having said that, Emperor Yu Yang’s gaze fell vaguely on Yu Qinghe.
Yu Qinghe’s heart skipped a beat, almost losing his balance.
Fortunately, Emperor Yu Yang only glanced at him and said nothing.
Meanwhile.
Outside the Divine Capital City Gate.
Li Hanzhou and Yuan Wuji had arrived at the gate of the Divine Capital.
Li Hanzhou looked at the Divine Capital’s City Gate from afar, feeling a sense of grandeur. Such a huge Divine Capital made him feel insignificant.
Even in the sky above the Divine Capital, a mysterious aura was visible to the naked eye.
It seemed like fortune.
fortune gathered in the form of a dragon, creating an awe-inspiring sight.
“Chief Eunuch!”
At this moment, several Soldiers ran out from the city, and seeing Yuan Wuji and Li Hanzhou said, “Your Excellencies, His Majesty has ordered that if the Chief Eunuch returns, he is to immediately enter the Dragon Court.”
“So urgent?”
Yuan Wuji was somewhat surprised, as it was still tens of miles from the City Gate to the Dragon Court.
“Lord State Preceptor, shall we have a foot race?”
Yuan Wuji suggested.
“Very well.”
Li Hanzhou had long since grown tired of riding a horse.
“Then let’s go!”
Yuan Wuji said, and with a whoosh, he shot out. Seeing this, Li Hanzhou also used the Nine Stars of the Imperfect Steps, his figure like flowing light as he pursued.
The strength of both men was not weak, as they shuttled through the air above the Divine Capital.
Their speed was extremely fast.
Even some of the strong individuals in the Divine Capital were attracted.
“Nine Stars of the Imperfect Steps.” Someone watched from afar, chuckling, “To think that the Daoist Orthodoxy still exists in the world; how interesting.”
In just a short while, the figures of the two had already arrived at the front gate of the Dragon Court.
Yuan Wuji stopped.
Entering the Dragon Court, one should not be so unruly.
