C10

The scholar didn't even lift a finger, but he had already made his move.

The official standing in front of the bearded man felt his heart turn cold, and he was actually unable to move. The three souls were so frightened that they couldn't even see their own bodies. They could only watch as the thin sword in front of them pierced through their hearts, taking away their own lives.

The swordsman was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. With the death of the official in front of him, he was only a few steps away from becoming a dog officer.

As long as he handed the sword over and stabbed that dog-official in the head, then his future wealth would be in sight. He might even be able to see that legendary flower house's Courtesan Belle and get drunk just thinking about it.

The man from the martial arts world had stabbed him with the fastest sword in his life, and perhaps the last sword in his life as well.

The dog officer looked at him with eyes full of contempt.

This made the man feel slightly uncomfortable, but when did he ever turn around to shoot? He was going to risk it all!

Good, good wine, good meat, beautiful women's gold and silver, the status of the martial arts world, all belong to me!

The eyes of the man from the martial arts world turned red.

On the other side, Zhang Wen Li was still sitting upright with his dignity intact. He did not lose his head even a little because someone was thrusting a sword at him.

He also had a feeling of "the world is in my hands".

However, this feeling was quickly replaced by astonishment.

That was because the timid chubby guy hiding behind the Jingya sign – although he was already 16 years old, he didn't seem to be of much importance. He rushed towards the man and shouted, "Lord, be careful!"

Master Zhang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He did not like the feeling of having control over something that did not belong to him.

However, people still had to be saved.

Although Master Zhang was known as the Slaughterer, the King of Hell, the decapitation and so on, at the same time, he was also a scholar.

Thus, he turned his head slightly and nodded.

It was just that it had been tough on Chen Yuan.

He jumped out and calculated the trajectory of the force. He wanted to make sure that the sword was able to accurately stab his old wounds. Also, he wanted to make sure that Master Zhang would call for help to ensure that he could do something about it.

Who knew how many times his brain had spun at that instant.

Furthermore, it was a gamble.

He might as well make the right bet.

Chen Yuan only felt the feeling of the sword stabbing into his body, the pain of the wound tearing, the crazy face of the martial artist, and the feeling of someone very quickly lifting his collar and pulling back.

What was he going to do now?

Pretend to be unconscious.

As Chen Yuan's forbidden technique failed, he felt his vision go black and a mouthful of blood spurt out. Then, he lost consciousness.

He really lost consciousness.

Anyway, in the future, there would still be Uncle Li and the others.

… ….

Darkness, a darkness without even being able to see one's own fingers.

Chen Yuan quietly stayed in the darkness, curling up and not moving at all.

He could only feel a slight jolt.

The voices of the two people sounded beside his ears.

"'Three Holy Palaces', 'Unparalleled Palace', 'Sky Bearing Temple', 'Savage Shrine', and 'Peace Temple'. Among the five major sects, We, the Sect Leader of 'Sky Bearing Temple' have always been on good terms with us, so there is no need to worry about them biting back at such a crucial moment."

"But the 'Three Holy Palaces' and the 'Temple of Peace' have always been major problems for the Empire … "The Three Holy Palaces want to obtain too much power, too much appetite, and too much greed in Cao Guo." The Serene Temple is the former dynasty's Orthodoxy. According to the legends, many emperors of the previous dynasty all grew up in that place at the end. It is hard to say whether or not it's true or false, and one cannot underestimate it. "

"'Barbarian God Hall.' Heh, let's not talk about it. You know how the foundation of the Rising Sun Dynasty is, why would it be willing to let us use it?"

"However, the 'Unparalleled Palace' has always been neutral. There is still the possibility of being roped in."

"However, this power is far from enough. Even if this temple, one palace, and one palace do not come out and cause any trouble, our chances of victory are still not high."

"Besides, I am also worried. Even if I have to rope in the Wu Shuang Palace, it is impossible for it to not leak any information. However, in that case, if it 'knows' about it …"

"Your Majesty, be careful." Just as Chen Yuan was listening attentively to the person speaking, an old voice suddenly interrupted, interrupting the words of "His Majesty".

"Don't mention that person's name in the palace. 'It will know. A disaster will arise from the mouth!'" The old voice seemed to be very afraid of the 'it' that "His Majesty" spoke of.

"Alright, but …" The following sounds were becoming fainter and fainter and gradually became inaudible.

Chen Yuan was left alone in the darkness.

Chen Yuan did not panic, because this was not the first time he had entered this place. In fact, every time he was injured and lost consciousness, Chen Yuan knew that he would always get some unknown things.

Just like the conversation he had heard earlier.

It sounded as if there was an earth-shattering secret concealed within. Because of the title he had heard of, "Your Majesty."

In this world, there was only one person who could be called "Your Majesty", or a group of people, and that was the emperor of Cao Guo.

But His Majesty wasn't even four yet, so he wouldn't say the word 'Zhen'. The truth was, he still didn't even know how to speak. A group of people were about to go insane.

In that case, the only person who could say this could only be the previous emperor.

That emperor had spoken of the only existence that existed in this world, or perhaps it was the only sect's sacred ground, that might still remain in the mortal world. What did he want to do?

Just what kind of thing could cause him to be so careful and cause his Minister to be so afraid?

What does "it" mean?

Could this have something to do with the death of the late emperor?

The late emperor had a malady, he fainted, his eyes were tightly shut, and he could not speak.

According to the official accounts, the late emperor died of illness.

It's very reasonable, isn't it.

However, those who knew the least bit would find it absurd. For example, Chen Yuan Yuan.

Chen Yuan knew very well that the late emperor died when he was only forty years old. Moreover, the late emperor was a third level expert before he died.

What did a third rank master mean? That was, unless you were beaten to a pulp by someone, as long as you did not seek death, you could at least live for a hundred years.

Moreover, the most important thing was that Chen Yuan's cultivation technique was the same as the previous Emperor's, so he knew how heaven-defying that cultivation technique was and how much it increased his lifespan.

But even so, the late Emperor still died. At the time of his death, there was not even a descendant.

Only the person she doted on the most, Imperial Concubine Zhang, was left in power.

What was even more inconceivable was that the Imperial Advisor had announced to the entire country that he was looking day and night for the reincarnation of the late emperor's soul.

Finally, the year before last, he found the princess of Tai'an Prefecture and gave birth to a son. He was brought to the Imperial Court and became the new emperor.
