71: Yun Chao, end NTR career
“Hurry and leave…”
The Imperial Palace was in chaos, with palace maids and eunuchs everywhere, dismantling the palace and fleeing with their loot.
“Empress, this is bad… The rebels have invaded the Imperial Palace…”
The palace maids and eunuchs looked panicked, their faces pale. Before they could even rush into Mo Yang Palace, they were repelled by the protective formation.
The palace maids and eunuchs exchanged glances, then gritted their teeth and decided to stay.
Where was the safest place in the Imperial Capital now? Mo Yang Palace, without a doubt.
Sure enough, Ye Hao led his generals here, a smile appearing on his domineering and indifferent face as he waved for everyone to dispense with formalities.
“Where is the Empress?”
Having finally conquered the Divine Phoenix Empire, Ye Hao was now eager to find Bai Suying to share his imperial ambitions.
He wanted to tell Bai Suying about his current achievements, to let her know how remarkable he was.
“Hmm… Ah, Hao’er, you…”
Bai Suying was startled. Her divine sense swept across the Imperial City; the empire had changed hands, and the Zhenbei Army now controlled the entire city.
She was a bit confused, wondering if she had been so disoriented by the little scoundrel that she was hallucinating.
Because she knew the Imperial Family possessed a Saint Artifact and a Saint Formation, how had Ye Hao managed to breach the Imperial City in one fell swoop?
Without time to think further, Bai Suying said with a trembling voice, “Hao’er, you’ve just gained the empire, and it’s a time of great rebuilding. Hurry and go busy yourself.”
“…”
Hearing this, all of Ye Hao’s anticipation turned into disappointment.
This stifling feeling of getting rich overnight but not receiving praise from his beloved truly made him uncomfortable.
But speaking of which, Bai Suying’s voice was so nasal, and it carried a hoarse, sweet, and soft quality. Had she just woken up?
Thinking this, Ye Hao’s lips curved into a playful smile.
“Then I’ll go busy myself first.”
“Hmm… Go!”
After he left, Bai Suying flew into a rage. Her long, snow-white, jade-like legs kicked Gu Qing off the Phoenix couch.
“Little scoundrel, how much longer are you going to torment this Empress? Get out!”
“Then I’ll go? I’ll go right now!”
“No, no, no, I was wrong… Come back quickly!”
The filial Empress saw Gu Qing’s cold smile and immediately gritted her teeth, sighing repeatedly in her heart, realizing she was completely done for.
“Little scoundrel, why are you so bad…”
She had fantasized countless times that her future husband and Dao companion would be a cold and aloof peerless Sword Immortal.
Or a great Confucian with both virtue and talent, a great general guarding a region, an enlightened ruler with the world in his heart… However, Heaven was blind, and fate played tricks, making her give herself to a shameless and lustful scoundrel who was also several hundred years younger than her.
What a sin!
“When are we leaving the Imperial Palace?” Bai Suying resigned herself to her fate.
“We’ll see!”
Staying in the Imperial Palace was quite nice; there was food and lodging. Gu Qing was a bit reluctant to leave.
He still had to wait for He Ni to return after her tribulation so they could take down Ye Hao together.
Thinking this, he immediately sent a message to He Ni.
Upon receiving the news, Gu Qing hastily ended the 'battle' and had Bai Suying clean up the 'battlefield' before opening the formation.
With a whoosh, the Qiankun Sword flew in.
He Ni scanned her surroundings, finding nothing amiss. She muttered to herself, “This kid is too innocent, isn’t he? A man and a woman alone in a room, did they really just talk all night?”
Her resentment towards Gu Qing for abandoning her to undergo tribulation alone instantly vanished.
Men, you know, they prioritize their careers. She understood.
Thinking this, He Ni spoke in a grave tone.
“Gu Qing, this new Emperor is the master of a Dynasty. We should leave quickly.”
“…”
Gu Qing silently swallowed his words and asked, “Are you sure?”
He had read about Dynasties in ancient texts: they gathered the luck of a nation to empower their master, making them immune to all magic and repellent to all evil.
To give a simple example, with Ye Hao’s Wangzhe Realm Peak cultivation, if he gained the blessing of national luck, he would be invincible within the empire.
Moreover, Ye Hao wouldn't need to cultivate anymore. By managing the empire well, he would be blessed with boundless national luck and the gathered wishes of all beings, allowing him to improve his cultivation even while lying down.
“Confirmed. And it’s a Dynasty that uses an Innate Spirit Treasure as its nation-protecting divine artifact. It’s too dangerous for you to stay here; you might have your mind affected.”
He Ni had, after all, lived for countless years and witnessed the rise and fall of Dynasties, so she recognized Ye Hao as the master of a Dynasty at a glance.
But she couldn’t understand how this small plane could have a Dynasty with an Innate Spirit Treasure suppressing its national luck.
One must know that Dynasties also had different grades.
The specific grade depended on the divine artifact used to suppress the national luck.
He Ni thought Ye Hao might be a powerful being from the Immortal Realm, reincarnated with a powerful treasure.
The protagonist of an invincible-style story is indeed hard to deal with… Gu Qing’s expression changed.
After waiting for so long, to give up like this, he was truly unwilling.
So he asked, “How can we take down Ye Hao?”
“The foundation of a Dynasty is national luck, and national luck comes from all living beings in the world. As long as you can destroy the national luck, then you won’t even need to act; he will die from the backlash of national luck. But this is almost impossible.”
“Why?”
“National luck can sense the emotions of all living beings in the empire, and a Dynasty can also increase the loyalty of its people, assimilating them into fanatical believers, or even puppets.”
“There are only two ways to kill a Dynasty master: steal his nation-protecting divine artifact, or trick him into going outside the country.”
“Once he leaves the Dynasty, he’s just an ordinary cultivator, weak and an ant to be slaughtered by anyone.”
There were also many Dynasties in the Immortal Realm, and almost all of them were destroyed in this manner.
Hearing He Ni’s explanation, Gu Qing’s eyes lit up, and many calculations surfaced in his mind.
Stealing the nation-protecting divine artifact might be impossible for an outsider, but perhaps Bai Suying could do it.
Moreover, protagonists are usually uncomfortable if they don’t show off for a day.
He wouldn’t even need to scheme; if he created an opportunity for Ye Hao, he would run out to flaunt himself.
In this way, this Dynasty master would just be a figurehead.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing’s mind settled.
He just needed to wait for the right moment.
By the way, Luo Li should be making her appearance soon, right?
Let her lead the charge first; it wouldn’t be too late to act after seeing Ye Hao’s true capabilities.
On the other side, Ye Hao was bustling about, personally going to the execution ground to oversee the beheading of the Luo clan.
Afterward, he arranged formations, cleared the Imperial Palace, enfeoffed civil and military officials, held daily court sessions to discuss restoring the people’s livelihood, and suppressed various kings throughout the land.
He was busy as a dog, so to speak.
But Ye Hao still insisted on bringing Bai Suying immortal delicacies for her three meals a day.
It wasn’t until Bai Wuya brought a “courtesan” into the palace that Ye Hao’s NTR life ended.
Ye Hao felt as if he had been struck by five bolts of lightning, his eyes bloodshot, and his rage soaring to the heavens.
Under the blessing of national luck, when the Emperor raged, the sky changed color, Heaven unleashed its killing intent, a great terror spread, presenting a scene of world destruction.
The countless living beings of the Divine Phoenix Empire felt profound fear, and some with fragile minds even fainted or died from fright.
“What did you say?”
Ye Hao’s eyes were bloodshot as he questioned, enunciating each word.
“Hmph, are you questioning this old man? What does my daughter marrying someone have to do with you?”
Feeling the boundless killing intent from Ye Hao, Bai Wuya’s expression changed, his beard and hair bristling, and he roared.
“Hoo!”
“Sorry, Grandfather, I was too agitated just now.”
Ye Hao exhaled a long breath, suppressing his anger, and forced a smile onto his face.
He knew exactly what kind of person Bai Wuya was.
Unrestrained, fiercely stubborn, and unyielding, an old hardhead who would rather die than submit.
He only responded to softness, not hardness.
“Shut up. Bai Susu and I have long since severed our father-daughter relationship.”
Once Bai Wuya decided something, ten oxen couldn’t pull him back.
When he severed ties with Bai Susu back then, it was truly severed.
Even if she was besieged by powerful enemies, or even died, he didn’t even glance at her, completely ignoring her.
He didn’t need an unfilial daughter.
Not making Bai Susu repay her debt of gratitude was already his greatest forgiveness towards her.
“Cold and heartless old man, unfit to be a father.” Ye Hao’s resentment towards Bai Wuya was beyond measure.
He flicked his sleeve and left directly.
If it weren’t for Bai Suying’s sake, he would have had someone kick this old man out.
Ye Hao arrived at Mo Yang Palace, carrying his towering rage. Looking at the illuminated formation barrier, he suddenly lost the courage to question Bai Suying about whether she had married… Chapter modified, recent checks are getting stricter and stricter.
