89: In ancient times, Emperor Tianji!

Another three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Within these three days, the Empress Faction's actions were meticulous and rigorous; dozens of Venerables had already secretly infiltrated the entire Imperial City!

At the same time, the Emperor's side also had its troop arrangements in place.

Under the arrangements of Shura Venerable and Meng Changzhong, Venerable Realm experts from forces like the Shi Family, Snow Sect, Yun Family, Wangxian Taoist Sect, and Luo Family had also quietly entered the Imperial City.

Currently, the entire Imperial City appears calm on the surface, but secretly, it is incredibly turbulent!

As top-tier aristocratic families in the Imperial City, the two Family Heads of the Cai Family and the Lu Family had secretly called back their Family juniors who were outside, consolidating their strength, preparing for an all-out effort three days later.

...

Second Princes Residence.

Chu Huang stood in a backyard at this moment.

In his hand, he held a message that read: "The Celestial Venerables from the Blood God Sect and the Corpse Yin Sect have arrived outside the city."

Chu Huang's face was solemn; after reading the message, he crushed it with his fingers.

"Lan Ji truly has been plotting for a long time."

"Since the two old fellows from the Blood God Sect and the Corpse Yin Sect have arrived outside the city, it seems likely that the old fellow from the Divine Sect will also arrive soon."

"Three Celestial Venerables—once Father Emperor enters Imperial Ancestral Mountain for seclusion, their power alone will be enough to turn the Imperial City upside down!"

A shocking killing intent couldn't help but bloom in Chu Huang's eyes.

Lan Ji's actions were tantamount to a military coup and seizing power, betraying his Father Emperor, and to some extent, attempting to change the structure of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the two Celestial Venerables of the Imperial Family...

The Supreme Emperor doted on the Crown Prince and completely favored Lan Ji; for him, as long as the Crown Prince ascended the throne, then the struggles for Imperial power could serve as their tempering.

As for the other one, he was the Old Ancestor of the Imperial Family.

He was even more indifferent to these matters.

As long as the one who held the position of the Son of Heaven was a descendant of his Chu Family, he couldn't be bothered to care.

Only if the Great Xia Dynasty faced a major disaster would he possibly intervene.

Their stance had both pros and cons.

The downside was that, like this, Empress Lan Ji could scheme recklessly, using any means to help her son secure the position of Crown Prince.

The advantage, however, was that the Great Xia Emperor's power would not be suppressed in any way, allowing him to fully display the courage and talent of a Son of Heaven!

"Huang'er, you don't need to worry too much about this."

"Your Father Emperor has also arranged for Celestial Venerables from the Shi Family and other forces to come; they will be enough to contend with them."

"If the situation still spirals out of control in the end, and even Chu Yun has no solution, then I, your Revered Master, will just borrow your body and take action once."

"Mere Heavenly Phase Realm ants, in the past, a single glance from this Emperor would have been enough to scare a large number of them to Death!"

A deep Soul voice resonated in Chu Huang's mind.

"Revered Master, I'm not too worried about this."

"With you, Revered Master, as a safeguard, Lan Ji is destined to fail."

"It's just, Revered Master, I'm a bit curious, how did you sense the extraordinary nature of Ninth Brother?" Chu Huang asked curiously.

The voice in his Soul spoke again: "I calculated his fate; guess what happened in the end?"

"Disciple does not know." Chu Huang said.

"His fate is obscured by a layer of Supreme heavenly mystery; even this Emperor, in the past, had never seen such a powerful heavenly mystery!"

"Therefore, Chu Yun's future achievements are limitless!"

"There's even a very high possibility that he will step onto the peak of Cultivation in the Yuan Realm!"

"This is also the main reason I told you to foster a good relationship with him."

"Your Imperial Dynasty might change the Luck of the entire Imperial Dynasty because of Chu Yun alone!"

Chu Huang was utterly shocked as he listened to his Revered Master's words.

One must know that ever since he had known his Revered Master, he had never given anyone such a high evaluation.

Even Chu Huang himself, possessing the ancient Heavy Pupils and ten Supreme Undefeated Bones, was called a Prodigy rarely seen in a thousand years by his Revered Master.

But for a fate like his own, his Revered Master could still glimpse some things.

Yet, his Ninth Brother's fate was so powerful that his Revered Master couldn't glimpse even a shred!

This truly deeply shocked Chu Huang.

One must understand that his Revered Master was not a person of this era.

But a worthy sage from the ancient era!

Many eras ago, a great ancient catastrophe occurred in the Yuan Realm, commonly known as the Era of Emperor's Fall.

That catastrophe caused all the Great Emperors of the ancient era to perish!

And Chu Huang's Revered Master was the sole survivor of that catastrophe.

An wisp of the remnant Soul of the Ancient Heavenly Mystery Great Emperor!

"Revered Master, if what you say is true, then in the future, Great Xia, under the leadership of Ninth Brother, will be able to step into Divine Continent Pure Land and stand at the peak of the world?!" Chu Huang said excitedly.

"Naturally."

"Chu Yun's ambition is not just for the path of Cultivation; he also has no small ambition for conquering the world."

"This, I sensed when I last saw him."

"But this is not a bad thing for your Great Xia Dynasty."

"If a monarch has no ambition or ruthlessness, or no aggression for expanding territory, but is always content with the status quo, then that Imperial Dynasty will not be far from its demise."

The Heavenly Mystery Great Emperor had existed for countless years, witnessing the rise and fall of countless forces, and understood very well that for an Imperial Dynasty to develop and grow stronger in the long term, aggression was absolutely indispensable!

"If that's the case, entrusting Great Xia to Ninth Brother will allow me to have no worries whatsoever and go explore Divine Continent Pure Land!"

Chu Huang said with a smile.

He had no ambition for power; this was his true feeling.

What he yearned for was that grand stage of Cultivation, the core of the Yuan Realm, Divine Continent Pure Land!

...

Chu Yun's Residence.

These days, his Father Emperor and the Empress were both meticulously planning and arranging everything that was to come.

But Chu Yun was an anomaly.

These past few days, he was still indulging in food, drink, and entertainment, constantly enjoying himself.

Whenever he had nothing to do, he would drag the Heavenly Demoness or Meng Ruxue into the room and stay for half a day.

Each time, they would stay for most of the day.

Without the Great Chu specialties, Chu Yun indulged as he pleased; although equally vigorous, he thankfully knew moderation.

Without the butterfly legs from last time, Chu Yun truly felt the joy of an earthly Emperor these past few days.

Night.

Chu Yun and the two women shared dinner, and he also invited Wan Lei, Luo Feng, Night Devour, Murong Yin, Fire Spirit Woman, and the others to join them at the table, eating and drinking together.

Lan Ji and the others probably couldn't have imagined it.

In the vast Imperial City, Chu Yun's Residence alone, including himself, had one Celestial Venerable and four Venerables!

At the banquet, Chu Yun and the others were chatting and laughing, but at this moment, the Heavenly Demoness's expression suddenly changed slightly, and her gaze turned to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun met her eyes and, seeing her expression, realized something might have happened, so he asked: "Xiner, what's wrong?"

"My Clone is in the Eastern Palace, and I received a message from the Crown Prince."

"Lan Ji has been plotting for many years; three years ago, she secretly had someone poison your Mother Consort."

"As long as they wish, they can activate that poison at any time, causing your Mother Consort to instantly die!" The Heavenly Demoness did not hold back; these people were all her own, so she immediately revealed the news.
