Daning Dynasty, Holy Land.

The great immortals watched in silence as the chaotic fate spread from the Daxuan army and all the way to the top of the Daning Kingdom where their holy land was located.

They fell silent.

In the past, under such circumstances, they would have sent powerful masters to destroy the dynasty and put destiny back on track.

But, that’s Daxuan.

"The territory of that mysterious second-level celestial monarch."

"Doesn't he know that confusing fate will awaken the Ksitigarbha demon?"

The great masters in the holy land were talking about it.

But, they couldn't make up their minds.

The only two second-level Heavenly Monarchs who could pay attention, Purple Fire Heavenly Monarch and Great Demon Underworld Monarch, both had ugly expressions and were at a loss.

They naturally knew that the invasion of the Sixteen Kingdoms by the Great Xuan army was the work of the Great Xuan Emperor, but even so, they still did not dare to make any move, for fear of disturbing Su Chen.

"do not care."

"Try every possible means to push back the great Xuan army's front."

"The chaotic fate can only be within the scope of the Great Xuan Dynasty at most. If it really doesn't work, we can take the risk of asking the Martial Saint of the Human World to take action and kill Emperor Ming..."

"Of course, the Martial Saint's actions cannot have anything to do with us."

The two Heavenly Kings, after discussion, issued the order.

then.

The great mysterious energy swallowed up mountains and rivers. The terrifying military force that seemed to be able to annex sixteen countries within a year began to fall apart overnight.

In the three thousand kingdoms of Ksitigarbha, the real masters have always been those with great supernatural powers, not these ant-like dynasty emperors.

If it weren’t for the demon Ksitigarbha.

It is basically impossible for mortals to live in the Shenxu Dizang.

……

……

The Great Xuan Imperial City.

Qiu Ming Palace.

Emperor Ming frowned.

He had accumulated the power of the Great Xuan country for thirty-five years, and also had the Dragon Killer Guard prepare for the Sixteen Kingdoms in advance, all in order to be able to swallow up the Sixteen Kingdoms in one go when he made his debut.

but.

"Why!"

"When the sixteen nations formed a secret alliance and wanted to overthrow the imperial power of Daxuan, I had Daxuan kill the dragon guards and the shadow dragon guards join forces to find out all their details."

"Where did these great masters and martial saints come from? Why have I never heard of them before?"

Emperor Ming looked unhappy.

Over the years, he has always looked like he has everything under control, but this is the first time he has been forced to lose his composure by the Sixteen Kingdoms, which he has never taken seriously.

In the Qiu Ming Palace, the leaders of the three Da Xuan guards all knelt on the ground in silence.

The attempt to swallow up the Sixteen Kingdoms failed.

Although it was due to those unknown masters, they are also to blame.

As people who had enjoyed the favor of the royal family since the time of Emperor Qiu Ming and who came from common people's martial arts schools, they worshipped Emperor Ming as their leader.

The Lord humiliates his ministers to death.

This is not just talking.

"Let's do this for now."

"Please take good care of the child, Old Seven."

"If he has the possibility of losing control, kill him immediately..."

Emperor Ming gave the order.

Abandoning a prince and gaining a martial saint was his plan, but swallowing up sixteen kingdoms and plotting for thirty years could lead to unexpected changes.

Emperor Ming, for the first time, felt a little unsure about his plan.

soon.

Emperor Ming was the only one left in the Qiu Ming Palace.

He raised his head through the eaves and saw the Ksitigarbha demon that he had fed. It had grown sixteen pairs of horns and had densely packed scarlet compound eyes that exuded a terrifying aura.

There are also jet-black wings, burning and cold.

The huge horse hoof is stepping on the chaotic numerology.

This is the Ksitigarbha demon that he raised with his own hands, a terrifying monster.

It is already very strong.

But it's still not strong enough.

At least, Emperor Ming knew that on the day when Hua Manlou collapsed, it was still extremely frightened and was far from reaching the point where it was no longer afraid of immortals.

"Kill the Immortal!"

"I will use the blood of immortals to let you immortals know that although we are just mortals, we are not ants that you can manipulate at will."
……

……

The thirty-seventh year of Emperor Ming’s reign.

winter.

The war of foreign expansion that lasted for six years finally came to an end.

The terrifying offensive of Daxuan seemed to have been paused.

Among the sixteen neighboring kingdoms, Daxuan only swallowed up Daye, Dacang and five or six other small countries whose regimes had long been overthrown by Shalongwei.

even so.

The territory of Daxuan also increased tenfold.

this year.

Emperor Ming is over fifty years old.

No matter how old and in the prime of his life he was, his energy was a little off.

then.

On this day, Emperor Ming summoned the prince.

The prince had long given up his ambition to take the throne. Over the years, he had been living a life of drunkenness, drinking fine wine, and sleeping with beautiful women, becoming the most famous playboy in the Great Xuan Imperial City.

When the prince arrived, his robe was still a little disheveled, and he looked at his father in confusion.

Even though he is in his thirties.

In the past thirty years, he had seen his father only a few times.

Although he was the crown prince, he was extremely unfamiliar with Emperor Ming.

As long as I can remember.

Emperor Ming lived and ate in the Qiu Ming Palace all the time, and followed a regular schedule, visiting the concubines in the harem, and having children and giving birth to princes and princesses.

"Please get ready."

"Prince, it's time to supervise the country."

"It's time to test whether you can take on the responsibility..."

Emperor Ming, narrate slowly.

Ok? !

what!
The prince, who looked like a wanderer, was stunned when he heard the words. He rubbed his ears and almost thought that he had heard it wrongly.

The crown prince is the regent? There is such a good thing.

His father, Emperor Ming, was a great master who was only in his early fifties. He was at the peak of his power, not to mention that he had just annexed many small countries. His prestige was high and it was time for him to show his talents.

At this time, he is asked to be the regent. Could it be that they are suspicious of him and want to test whether he wants to rebel like the seventh brother?
Prince, for a moment, hundreds of thoughts swirled in his mind and he was speechless.

Until he walked out of the Qiu Ming Palace.

I feel top-heavy and a little dizzy, and I can't figure out the situation.

The next day.

Then a piece of news spread throughout the entire Daxuan Imperial City, shocking all the people of Daxuan. Not only Daxuan, but even the surrounding dynasties were stunned, not knowing what the Daxuan Emperor was doing.

Emperor Ming announced that he would go into seclusion to strive for the goal of becoming a Martial Saint among humans. All affairs of the Great Xuan Dynasty were handed over to the Crown Prince for regent. Since then, Emperor Ming has been missing and has been practicing hard in the Qiu Ming Palace.

Never ask about worldly affairs again.

For a while.

With the Great Xuan Dynasty as the center, all neighboring countries were in an uproar. They simply couldn't understand why Emperor Ming would do such a shocking thing.

The crown prince acting as regent is basically equivalent to the crown prince becoming the emperor.

now.

Emperor Ming's prestige is high, he is at the peak of his power, and he is also a great master. How could he do such a thing?

The dynasties were not at ease with Emperor Ming.

then.

Many spies were dispatched into the imperial city to search for Emperor Ming, but unfortunately they were eliminated by the three guards before they even set foot in the city.

In fact.

Even Su Chen, who was in the Great Xuan Imperial City, had no idea what Emperor Ming was up to.

"The aura of Emperor Ming disappeared in Qiu Ming Palace?"

In the courtyard.

Under the towering tree.

Su Chen sat on a rattan chair. He had not been out for a while until he recently heard about the big news of Emperor Ming abdicating his throne. Only then did he let his soul scan the surroundings, trying to find the whereabouts of Emperor Ming.

But he didn't find it.

There was no one in the Qiu Ming Palace. Emperor Ming was not attacking the Martial Saint of the World at all. In the Qiu Ming Palace, there was only a figure who looked exactly like Emperor Ming.

But he is not a grandmaster, nor is he the Emperor Ming.

just.

Emperor Ming found a substitute from somewhere.

"eccentric."

"It's so weird."

"Emperor Ming is definitely in the Imperial City, but for some reason, even I can't find out where he is."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

For a while.

He actually had a feeling that he had always underestimated Emperor Ming.

Although Emperor Ming is just a mortal, in the Shenxu Dizang world, these great masters have to recognize him as a so-called mortal.

"Emperor Ming is not simple."

"besides."

"When did the Ksitigarbha demon that was born from Daxuan disappear?"

Su Chen frowned.

For the first time, he felt that this Great Xuanhuang City was somewhat strange. It was able to hide from his perception. Emperor Ming disappeared, and the Demon Ksitigarbha also disappeared.

Emperor Ming is a great master.

That Ksitigarbha demon is comparable to a person who has reached the perfection of the realm of immortality, so he is not considered weak.

But it just disappeared quietly and silently.

Somewhere.

Su Chen felt that something big was about to happen.

"That's all."

"It's time to go out for a walk."

The thirty-seventh year of Emperor Ming’s reign.

Heavy snowfall.

The Crown Prince was governing the country, Emperor Ming was in seclusion, and the entire Daxuan Dynasty entered a new chapter.

Numerology is repairing automatically.

The originally chaotic fate, as the Daxuan Dynasty swallowed up many nearby countries, was able to stand firm, and gradually gained the recognition of the Shenxu Dizang world and became a normal dynasty.

far away.

Although the great masters in the holy land did not understand, at least their fate had returned to normal, which was a good thing.

The Crown Prince had never thought that there would be a day when he would become regent.

He is used to being a playboy.

For a while.

Standing in front of the court, next to the dragon throne, he actually felt a little uncomfortable. After the incident with the Seventh Prince, he had already given up his ambition for the throne.

In the first few days, he worked hard and reviewed memorials, but he could not hold on for long. After all, he was not Emperor Ming, nor Emperor Qiu Ming.

Ten years of debauchery and indulgence in pleasure had turned him into a useless man.

It didn't take long.

His true nature was revealed.

He continued to drink fine wine and sleep with beautiful women. He was too lazy to review the affairs of state, so he handed over most of the power to the eunuch in the Eastern Palace who had grown up with him.

Those memorials were also reviewed by this eunuch who accompanied him to study.

At the beginning.

The court officials were unaware of this yet, but when the prince did not attend court for several months in a row, they knew everything, especially that all the memorials they submitted were reviewed by a eunuch.

In an instant, they became angry.

pity.

Their anger is useless.

The crown prince is the regent, and except for the fact that he cannot use the three guards that belong exclusively to Emperor Ming's rule, in other aspects, he is no different from a real emperor.

At the beginning, the prince was a little frightened, because some veterans of three dynasties were going directly to the Qiu Ming Palace to accuse the prince of having no talent and virtue, and request Emperor Ming to depose the prince.

As a result, they were kicked out by the three guards before they even entered the door of Qiu Ming Palace.

Emperor Ming is in seclusion trying to become a Martial Saint on earth.

Who dares to disturb!

Kill without mercy!

On the spot, a veteran of three dynasties was beheaded by a Canglong Guard, and the other veterans of three dynasties who had relied on their seniority were also frightened.

After returning to his mansion, he was frightened to such an extent that he fell seriously ill and could no longer attend court.

This time.

The prince was relieved.

They were not afraid of anything, but what they feared most was that his father, Emperor Ming, would come out and deal with him.

Since his father and the three guards do not stand on the side of the elders of the three dynasties, then wouldn't he, the crown prince who is the regent, be able to do whatever he wants next?

"Depose the crown prince?"

"You are nothing but dogs of my royal family, you are a bunch of old things."

"now."

"How dare you try to bite me, your master."

The prince woke up in the arms of the beauty and smiled coldly.

He was never in a good mood.

Subsequently.

He used brutal means to quickly purge the entire court, and all the veterans of the three dynasties who dared to show up were killed by him.

For a time, the whole court was in turmoil and people were in panic.

But, also because of this.

A lot of space has been vacated.

The prince did this on purpose. Only in this way could the young talents who had joined his party be given a chance to take up positions.

For a while.

The court that Emperor Ming had managed for thirty years was thrown into chaos three days after the crown prince took office.

But there are also those who benefit from it.

The eunuch who accompanied the prince in his studies in the Eastern Palace successfully ascended to the throne and became the person who held the final say over the crown prince. He processed and approved memorials for the crown prince and even had the power to appoint court officials in his hands.

In the court, the princelings occupied a large number of lucrative positions.

……

……

The fortieth year of Emperor Ming's reign.

Just three years passed.

The Crown Prince, who was in charge of the country, became more and more domineering and obsessed with beauty.

At first, he just expanded his harem of beauties among the common people. Later, he directly hired a group of secret guards and plundered some wealthy businessmen, and even beautiful girls and women in the homes of officials.

The main character is a person who doesn't care about anything, fills up his harem, and lives a life of drunkenness and debauchery.

"An emperor who enjoys pleasure is a good emperor."

"Isn't it?"

Listening to the secret guard's report, the former East Palace tutor, now the Duke of Wei in the palace, put down his fishing rod by the lake and smiled.

Emperor Ming was in seclusion while the Crown Prince was enjoying himself, and all power was basically in his hands.

At the beginning.

No one could have imagined that he, a lowly eunuch in the Eastern Palace, who had basically no chance of making it, would one day be able to exercise power on behalf of the emperor.

It can be said.

Looking at the entire Daxuan, his power has reached its peak.

Long live the emperor.

Long live the prince.

And he is called the Nine Thousand Year Old.

Can be imagined.

Now, his status in the entire Daxuan.

In order to consolidate his position beside the prince, he eliminated dissidents, continuously offered beauties as tribute, and made the prince indulge in it. In the outside world, he was scolded as a treacherous minister.

But, does he care?

He doesn't care.

Only power is real.

……

at the same time.

On the other side, Su Chen came to a dungeon, where he found an old friend.

This man had disheveled hair and was bound by iron chains. His eyes were dull and his entire body was soaked in water, rotting and stinking, as if he were already dead.

"Yu Wenzhi."

"I need you to help me find the whereabouts of Emperor Ming..." (End of this chapter)
