Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Capital of Ye, Commander’s mansion.
The country of Ye had faced constant civil unrest over the years. Fortunately, there was the rise of Lin Shoucheng’s Iron State, which managed to defeat the rebel army.
Presently, he had already established a presence in the country’s capital and self-proclaid himself to be the ‘commander-in-chief of all military forces’!
In a courtyard, there were many warriors donned in armor patrolling the area.
Jiang Wang was wearing a green robe, looking like a scholar, as he walked quickly into the small pavilion.
The singing and dancing in the pavilion ca to a halt.
“So it is Wenhe who has co. Haha, co on in! Have to drink with today!”
Lin Shoucheng sat upright and raised his cup in smiles.
Jiang Wang coughed and made his voice sound even more serious. “Ahem... Your Highness, I have sothing to report to you!”
“Since military adviser has sothing to discuss with His Highness, we shall take our leave first!”
The high-ranking military officers at the scene were all old comrades who had fought beside Lin Shoucheng. Naturally, they knew that His Highness seldom interacted with his military adviser but still maintained an extraordinary relationship. Without probing any further, they imdiately left the pavilion.
Soon after, the entertainers also left the pavilion, leaving the entire pavilion empty and solemn.
“What does Wenhe have for ? Can you tell now?” Lin Shoucheng asked calmly while holding a cup in his hand.
At this ti, he had been successful in his martial arts and held great authority. Naturally, he possessed an incredible aura and prestige in the way he carried himself.
Jiang Wang’s pupils contracted, and he said in a low voice, “Yes... Yang Xiu is dead!”
“What?”
Lin Shoucheng was so astonished, he almost knocked over the table in front of him. Even the hand that was holding the cup started trembling. “Truly... a good death!”
Yang Xiu had been a minister of this dynasty and was not the most popular person. He had survived three dynasties and had friends and disciples in all levels of society.
At the sa ti, he was also the greatest thorn in Lin Shoucheng’s eye.
When he had first entered the capital of Ye, his intention was to hold the king to control the vassals. At that ti, the country of Ye’s fate had been determined, and he had plans to be disloyal.
The only reason he had not acted was because he was fearful of this man.
Now that he was dead, it seed almost like heaven’s will!
Lin Shoucheng swiftly made a decision. “Yang Xiu was also holding on to a portion of the royal guards. Now that he’s dead, send so n to try and rope them in... Also, switch our n to city defense to make sure nobody else gets involved in this!”
“However... Your Highness, you are married to the Chaoyang Princess. In terms of status, you are an elder of the king... Now that everything is in chaos, you should imdiately get the king to abdicate properly!” Jiang Wang said.
“Why? Wenhe, you’re scared? Did you forget about my oath to the heavens?” Lin Shoucheng asked, smiling.
“Scared? Of course I’m scared! The more I study, the more I understood the logic of ‘life is short, learning is limitless’! It’s the sa here... The more I know, the more reverence I feel!” Jiang Wang put forward a suggestion. “Wouldn’t it be more dependable to plan everything carefully?”
“That’s right...” Lin Shoucheng sighed, his expression growing solemn. “Compared to the world, the country of Ye is considered a small country. At this mont, I don’t even know if I should take this advantage.”
Even though he did not know about the misfortune of the heavens and the earth, the changes in the human realm were enough to make Lin Shoucheng and others tremble in fear.
“Even though Your Highness has attained the Dragon Qi, your foundations are yet to be stable. Forcefully snatching the throne is too risky... I suggest abdication!” Jiang Wang tried to give his input again.
“I’m scared! Of course I’m also scared!” Lin Shoucheng clenched his fist. “Even though both you and I know about our matter, we can’t withdraw from it anymore... Forget it, abdication it is then. But this country of Ye is sothing I must seize!”
He got up to take a few steps forward before making his decision. “Next month!”
“Great!” Jiang Wang nodded while opening his spiritual eye. At this mont, he saw the convergence of a five-colored mist and a black dragon circling it.
Even though it isn’t considered a true dragon, it’s more than enough to assu the responsibility of a king!
Presently, his heart ca to a conclusion.
However, he suddenly felt absent-minded and uneasy.
Prompted by a sudden impulse? Is there still one more variable to this abdication?
Jiang Wang kept quiet.
Lin Shoucheng noticed his expression and wanted to ask.
“Reporting!” But just then, a ssenger ca running toward the pavilion. “Subordinate has a matter to report to Commander!”
“Co in! What is it?” Lin Shoucheng questioned.
His mansion followed the rules of the military, which ant that he demanded exact compliance with instructions for everything here.
Back then, when the Chaoyang Princess married into his mansion, so of the elderly female servants did not follow his rules and were instantly slapped to death in front of the princess. After their deaths, no one even collected their corpses, making it an incredibly tragic sight. Throughout the entire mansion, everyone kept quiet out of fear.
If this ssenger was unable to explain the reason for his arrival, he was naturally going to be punished as well.
“Commander, soone outside the mansion wants to et you. He says he is... Commander’s Teacher!” this ssenger answered.
“Ah! Yet another swindler!” Lin Shoucheng did not even want to think about all the people who ca to seek connections with him after he had made it big. The numbers were staggering, annoying him trendously.
“Wait!” Jiang Wang felt that sothing was amiss. “Your Highness, the guards at the entrance and the honorary experts in the mansion aren’t idiots. If he didn’t provide proof, he would have been chased away! Let go take a look into this first.”
“Military Adviser is right!” The ssenger looked relieved when he said that. “That person is standing right there, but none of us can draw our weapons. Moreover, the two honorary experts in the mansion passed out imdiately after he took a glance at them.”
“Oh?” Lin Shoucheng grew interested and exchanged glances with Jiang Wang.
Their current power and influence were different from before. Therefore, everyone they hired was a top expert.
The mansion’s honorary experts were at least Essence Souls. It seed like this person was not lying.
“Invite that man into the living room. I’ll head there with you!”
After exchanging glances with Jiang Wang, he gathered his guards and honorary experts before entering the living room.
After entering the room, he saw a young man sitting on a red sandalwood chair sipping tea. The mont the young man spotted them, he smiled. “Ah! I haven’t seen the two of you in forever. It seems like you’re getting more exuberant!”
“You are... Teacher?!” Jiang Wang asked doubtfully.
This man looked exactly the sa as the master who had taught them in the past. The only difference was that he looked much younger than before.
“If Your Excellency says that you’re Mister’s nephew, that would be more believable...” Jiang Wang muttered uncertainly.
“Haha... Back then, you guys barged into my grass hut in the middle of the night to beg to take you in as my disciples. Did you forget about that?” Fang Yuan joked with them, casually bringing up so secrets of the past.
“You are indeed Teacher!” Lin Shoucheng and Jiang Wang no longer had any doubts. “We knew Teacher was extraordinary, and you are indeed a cultivator!”
Human Immortals and Earth Immortals had a long lifespan and the ability to maintain their forever young complexion. In addition to how mysterious and extraordinary their teacher was, it seed like they had already considered this point.
Jiang Wang was sincere, while Lin Shoucheng sounded a little forced.
“It’s nothing!” Fang Yuan waved his hands and looked at Lin Shoucheng. “Back then, I took you two in as disciples, but that was rely a ga. Moreover, you are a commander. People usually worship and salute you, so you don’t have to restrict yourself to such courtesy for in the future.”
“What is Teacher talking about? A teacher for a day, a father for life! Jiang Wang is imnsely grateful to you and will never be able to return the favor!”
After all, Jiang Wang was an honest child whose eyes were already turning red. This made Lin Shoucheng, who was beside him, slightly awkward.
“All right! I ca to visit about the city defenses!” Fang Yuan said with great dignity. “I’ve heard of the Yang Xiu incident. Are you preparing to snatch the country’s throne?”
“So what if I am?” Lin Shoucheng was indeed an ambitious and ruthless character and questioned Fang Yuan instead. “Where did Mister hear this from?”
While saying that, he sent a secret ssage for his guards and honorary experts to stand closer to him.
“As long as I want to know about it, nobody can hide anything from in this world!” Fang Yuan smiled. “Moreover... A sumr insect that does not live to see winter can not talk about the ice. It doesn’t matter whether you beco the king or not. I wouldn’t even be here if you were not of any help to about this matter... Also, the guards outside are simply not enough to deal with the danger that you’re about to face!”
He clapped his hand.
Sha! Sha!
All of a sudden, all the guards and honorary experts walked out from the shadows and toward Fang Yuan like walking corpses to bow to him.
“This...” Lin Shoucheng took a step back, sweat rolling down his forehead profusely. “Are you already a Heaven Immortal?”
He even had an Earth Immortal among the honorary experts in his mansion! In the face of this teacher, he actually did not have any strength to resist or fight back, shocking him to the core.
“Teacher... Shoucheng isn’t thinking straight, so please do not bla him. If you have any orders, I will certainly do my best to accomplish it as your disciple!”
Jiang Wang hurriedly apologized on behalf of Lin Shoucheng.
“That is exactly what I want too!” Lin Shoucheng forced a smile while saying that. After recognizing the difference in strength, he understood that his negligible achievents were not worthy of Fang Yuan conspiring against him.
“Good that you guys are obedient!” Fang Yuan squinted his eyes to look at Lin Shoucheng. “Do you know... that you are already facing imminent catastrophe?”
“Imminent catastrophe... Could there be changes to the abdication?” Lin Shoucheng quivered.
“No! It doesn’t matter whether you abdicate or seize the throne forcefully. The mont you worship the heavens, there will be changes!” Fang Yuan warned him.
“Could Teacher be talking... about the evil matter?”
Jiang Wang and Lin Shoucheng looked at each other with solemn expressions.
“Since we’re at a ti like this, I’ll tell you two everything... The existence that placed the evil Qi inside two is the root of chaos and a tumor of the heavens and the earth! Previously, when he assigned you two here, he was rely waiting for you two to bring chaos and invade other countries. Once you worship the heavens to beco king, he will swoop in to take over everything to steal the fate of the country. Either that, or he can plant his seeds in you two to make it convenient for him to manipulate you in the future!” Fang Yuan said, revealing so information.
“Jiang Wang, your martial arts aren’t good enough! Even your observation Qi isn’t good enough... Look again!”
He waved his hands, and a force enveloped Jiang Wang and Lin Shoucheng.
“As expected!”
They lifted their heads, and even though their black dragons were roaring in a malevolent manner, they were trapped by shackles and chains.
“Teacher, please save !”
Seeing this, Lin Shoucheng kept sweating before he finally could not take it anymore. He fell on his knees to beg for help.
