208: A broken sword threatens the imperial power

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Xie Weilou's eyes lit up. He then asked, “Your Majesty, my cultivation is low right now. Do you have any other good things that can quickly improve my cultivation? Like some divine pills or something?”

The Xia Emperor glared at Xie Weilou: “Greed knows no bounds. The path of cultivation requires taking one step at a time, especially the Xuanhuang Realm and the Shackles Realm. These are the most crucial times for forging a foundation, and you cannot be too hasty. However, I will have the Tianquan Division prepare some resources for you, but if you want more resources, then become The Holy Courtyard's Disciples!”

The current Xie Weilou, possessing Song Shenfeng's token, could freely enter and exit the Holy Courtyard, but he was not The Holy Courtyard's Disciples after all, so he naturally couldn't get the Holy Courtyard's resources.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

Xie Weilou's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed.

The Xia Emperor felt a bit speechless and waved his hand, saying, “You may leave!”

“This subject takes his leave.”

Xie Weilou put away Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, bowed, and retreated.

After Xie Weilou left.

The Xia Emperor glanced at the bronze mirror and mused, “The Qintian Bureau's Heart-Sensing Mirror showed no reaction, so it seems this kid didn't lie. It's just that I'm a bit puzzled, what kind of trump card did that old fellow leave behind?”

Eunuch Huang came out and whispered, “The Green Dragon Envoy's trump card might not be with Xie Weilou! Before he died, he massacred the entire Han Shui Temple. This old servant suspects he was trying to cover up something.”

A faint light flashed in the Xia Emperor's eyes: “When you put it that way, I understand. Han Shui Temple was massacred, and all the monks were wiped out, so some information can no longer be traced.”

“If a 'dead' monk were to appear outside, change his appearance, and live anonymously, wouldn't that be able to deceive everyone? If he were too greedy and carried Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, I could find him anywhere in the world. Giving up Great Xia Dragon Sparrow now is indeed an excellent choice.”

Reaching Dragon Transformation Realm Peak, one only needs a secret method and a possession, and it naturally won't be too difficult.

The old man was indeed dead, but he might have possessed someone else with a remnant soul in advance. This way, there would be no proof of death.

Eunuch Huang asked, “Should this old servant go investigate?”

The Xia Emperor sneered, “If he wants to hide, how could he be easily found? There's no need to bother with this matter. If he cultivates again, he won't be able to stir up much trouble. If he really dares to appear, I'll crush him with a flick of my hand.”

Phoenix Luan Hall.

“Greetings, Empress.”

Xie Weilou bowed to Dugu Buzheng.

Dugu Buzheng said indifferently, “Sit.”

“......”

Xie Weilou sat down on a chair. He looked around. No one poured tea? The Empress wasn't making tea anymore?

Dugu Buzheng seemed to know what Xie Weilou was thinking. She said faintly, “I've been drinking too much tea lately. This Empress doesn't want to drink tea.”

Xie Weilou: “......”

Dugu Buzheng said indifferently, “You got Great Xia Dragon Sparrow?”

“That's right!”

Xie Weilou nodded with a serious expression.

“What are your thoughts?”

Dugu Buzheng asked in return.

“Uh… what thoughts are needed? Isn't it just a blade?”

Xie Weilou looked at Dugu Buzheng in surprise.

Dugu Buzheng said coldly, “A blade? Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is one of Great Xia's national divine artifacts, on par with the emperor yu sword. Those who have wielded Great Xia Dragon Sparrow throughout history have eventually gained the capital to contend with the Emperor. Since you have obtained Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, your future path will certainly be extraordinary. Perhaps it will even threaten Royal Power in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Weilou's face changed drastically, and he instantly stood up: “What? I got a broken blade, and I can threaten Royal Power?”

In fact, a broken blade truly couldn't threaten Royal Power.

What truly threatened Royal Power? The Qintian Bureau's Imperial Advisor, The Holy Courtyard's Head, and so on. These people were powerful and not controlled by Royal Power; only they could challenge the authority of Royal Power.

“......”

Dugu Buzheng's mouth twitched.

You threaten Royal Power? The current you can't even use that blade. You're really praising yourself too much.

Xie Weilou sighed, “Actually, I just saw His Majesty, and he didn't say this blade threatened Royal Power!”

As he spoke, he seemed to realize something and looked at Dugu Buzheng in astonishment: “Does Empress think I will threaten the First Prince?”

“What do you think?”

Dugu Buzheng frowned.

Xie Weilou's brows furrowed: “Empress, what kind of person do you take This Young Master to be? I and the First Prince are like brothers, as close as family. How could I possibly threaten him? I'll go find the First Prince right now and give him Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. This Young Master doesn't want this blade anymore.”

Having said that, he was about to leave.

“Wait!”

Dugu Buzheng raised an eyebrow. So reckless, this kid would be hard to support, even worse than Yan Junlin.

Xie Weilou stopped and looked at Dugu Buzheng: “Empress, you don't understand the First Prince at all. He is such an upright person; he will definitely be overjoyed to see his brother holding a divine weapon, because only by holding this blade can I help him secure his throne!”

Dugu Buzheng had a speechless expression: “Young people always like to boast. It's understandable, but don't take it seriously! With your Xuanhuang Realm cultivation, even if you wield Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, it will take several years to achieve anything significant.”

Xie Weilou said righteously, “This Young Master swears eternal loyalty to the First Prince! If Empress thinks my cultivation is weak, you can give me some good things! Any heavenly materials, earthly treasures, or spiritual elixirs are fine.”

“No need to wait, go back!”

Dugu Buzheng waved her hand, utterly speechless.

She could tell this kid was thick-skinned, taking advantage of every opportunity; he was a shameless person.

“Farewell! I'm going to find the First Prince now.”

Xie Weilou bowed and left directly.

Dugu Buzheng: “......”

Leaving Phoenix Luan Hall, Xie Weilou walked alone through the palace. As he walked, a tabby cat appeared before him, chained by a one-meter-long iron chain, with a watermelon-sized iron ball at the end of the chain.

At this moment, the tabby cat was sitting on a stone stool, its hind legs crouched, its front paws raised, and its eyes tightly closed. This scene instinctively reminded one of a specific scenario: a weasel seeking enlightenment.

“Sang Biao?”

Xie Weilou looked at the tabby cat in front of him. Every chained cat was not to be trifled with.

The tabby cat remained motionless, its eyes still tightly closed, completely ignoring Xie Weilou.

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

Xie Weilou took a step forward, then reached out and scratched the tabby cat's belly. It was soft and felt very comfortable to touch.

“Meow…”

The tabby cat let out a low growl, its eyes instantly opening, revealing a pair of blue pupils. Its gaze towards Xie Weilou carried a hint of hostility.

Seeing the tabby cat open its eyes, Xie Weilou couldn't help but ask, “Do I look like a human or a god to you?”

The tabby cat paused for a second: “......”

Damn it, it was a cat, a tiger, not a weasel. Was it encountering a human skin seeking enlightenment?

Seeing the tabby cat stunned, Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow and asked again, “Am I prosperous this year?”
