95: Chapter 95 Something's Wrong
Cao Yang settled into the Mingyue Imperial Palace. Empress Mingyue, Chu Yueer, had no choice but to agree, and although she was somewhat reluctant, she still appeared delighted.
Sitting in a luxurious courtyard within the imperial palace, Cao Yang leisurely sipped some Immortal tea, secretly pondering: "System, where is the Child of Fortune, Ye Feng, for Empress Mingyue? Why haven't I sensed the presence of anyone with high Luck in the imperial palace?"
"Beep. Host, according to this System's prediction, the Child of Fortune, Ye Feng, will arrive at the Mingyue Dynasty in the near future," the System answered mechanically.
"Oh, I see." The corners of Cao Yang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a look of anticipation. "Then I will just wait here for now and see what this so-called Child of Fortune is capable of. However, since he hasn't arrived yet, I must enjoy the life here properly."
Thus, Cao Yang began to stroll around the Mingyue Imperial Palace, fully appreciating the magnificent scenery of this grand palace. At the same time, he was also filled with curiosity and anticipation for what would happen in the future.
As he strolled, he muttered to himself: "Alright, I will just watch from the sidelines to see how you, this Child of Fortune, will woo your heroine. I hope you can bring me some surprises and not disappoint me. If you cannot satisfy me, then I am sorry, but I will have to take your wife for my own."
A wicked smile appeared on Cao Yang's face, as if he had already envisioned the happy life he would lead after replacing Ye Feng as the lover of the heroine, Chu Yueer.
However, he did not know that the fate of this world was quietly changing because of his arrival...
"System, how far have things developed between Chu Yueer and Ye Feng? Do I still have a chance to cut in?" Cao Yang suddenly thought of a question and asked the System.
However, he waited for a long time, but the System did not respond.
"What is going on? Is this System playing dumb again?" Cao Yang cursed angrily in his heart.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the imperial palace, Empress Mingyue, sitting on the Dragon throne, spoke with majesty: "Eunuch Li, how did the matter I entrusted to you go?"
"Your Majesty the Empress, rest assured, this old servant has arranged everything properly, it is just..."
"Hmm? What is going on?" Empress Mingyue frowned and looked at the eunuch beside her.
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Empress, because of this matter, one of our experts at the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm was slightly injured, and two other experts at the Immortal King Realm were seriously injured."
"Oh?" Empress Mingyue was slightly moved. "Is it serious?"
"It is not serious, Your Majesty the Empress, please rest assured." The eunuch replied hurriedly.
"That is good." Empress Mingyue nodded. "You have done well, go and receive your reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress, for the reward!" The eunuch was overjoyed, kowtowed to show his gratitude, and then slowly retreated from the imperial palace.
After the eunuch left, Empress Mingyue slowly closed her Phoenix eyes and fell into deep thought.
"Cao Yang, what is his true purpose in coming to the imperial palace? Could it be that he has discovered the secret of the Forbidden Ground? Impossible, even my divine eyes cannot see through that Forbidden Ground, how could he, an Immortal Emperor, see it?"
Empress Mingyue muttered to herself, full of doubt and worry.
"No, I absolutely cannot let him discover the secret of the Forbidden Ground."
Thinking of this, Empress Mingyue decided to go to the Forbidden Ground immediately to see if there was anything unusual.
The Forbidden Ground of the Mingyue Dynasty was located in a corner of the Mingyue Imperial City. From the outside, it looked like an unremarkable small hill, only a hundred meters high, bare on top, with nothing on it.
However, the shape of this hill was a bit strange, somewhat like an inverted large bell, and it was black overall, looking quite mysterious.
In fact, regarding this mountain, Empress Mingyue had suspected that it might be a heavy treasure. After all, with her understanding of the Mingyue Dynasty, this mountain was very likely a treasure left behind by the Mingyue Great Emperor.
Information about the Mingyue Great Emperor had also disappeared; she only knew that the Mingyue Dynasty once had such a person.
When the Mingyue Great Emperor existed, no one knew what the Immortal Realm was like!
But unfortunately, although she had suspicions, she could never confirm her guess.
Because with her strength, she could not go deep into it to investigate.
However, the interior of this mountain was not simple.
Princess Mingyue had entered it once. At that time, she had just broken through to the Half-step Immortal Saint Realm and felt that her strength had greatly increased, so she could explore this Forbidden Ground.
However, when she entered the mountain, she realized that there was a world within.
The space inside was very large, much larger than it looked from the outside; it was simply a boundless world.
Moreover, it was filled with a powerful pressure that made people feel suffocated.
Not long after she entered, she was besieged by more than a dozen Puppets at the Half-step Immortal Saint level.
These Puppets were extremely strong, each having the cultivation base of a Half-step Immortal Saint, and their attack methods were very strange, making them difficult to defend against.
Princess Mingyue tried her best and fought fiercely with these Puppets for a long time, finally killing half of the Puppets and breaking through the encirclement.
After this battle, Princess Mingyue knew that this place was full of danger and did not dare to easily risk it again.
However, because some precious Immortal herbs grew in the Forbidden Ground, she would still send her subordinates to pick them.
Although there would be some losses every time, the harvest was also considerable.
Therefore, Princess Mingyue had been secretly training some death squads at the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm in preparation for emergencies.
The seven star grass that Feng Ye asked her for was a precious Immortal herb that grew here, and it was thanks to it that she could cultivate many Immortal Emperors.
Just at this moment, Cao Yang, who was walking in the imperial palace, discovered more than five hundred experts at the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm in a hidden space not far from the Mingyue Imperial Palace.
This made a strange feeling arise in his heart, because according to common sense, the major forces in the Immortal Realm usually did not possess more than two hundred Immortal Emperors.
However, why was the Mingyue Dynasty able to hide so many Immortal Emperors? And they were all at the Early Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
In addition, this space also had some particularities—it was actually an extremely small Fragment of the Great Thousand World. If it were not for the fact that Cao Yang's Immortal consciousness far exceeded that of an ordinary Immortal Emperor, he would probably not have been able to detect its existence at all.
Seeing this, Cao Yang could not help but sigh: "It seems that the Mingyue Dynasty really has its own secrets!"
He knew deeply that in this mysterious other world, every corner might hide unexpected secrets and power. And the place where the heroine of the Child of Fortune lived was even more full of endless possibilities.
Thinking of this, Cao Yang became more and more expectant about the development of the good show ahead. He believed that the things to come would become more and more interesting.
Perhaps he would also have a good harvest.
