Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Breaking the Trail
The person who was the most frustrated here was naturally the elder Daoist, without a doubt.
He had waited in the Taoist temple for a full thirty years, and finally when people arrived, he could only watch them leave helplessly. Moreover, his roots were injured by the Dragon Energy, rendering him unable to use divination.
It made him want to vomit three liters of blood!
At the mont, an unusual phenonon appeared in the sky. The Emperor’s Star in the sky dimd, and a new Emperor’s Star rose in the southwest. This made him so anxious that water blisters ford around his mouth. He hated the fact that he could not force himself to shorten his life by two years in order to divine the future. Fortunately, he finally managed to restrain himself.
Having barely waited for three days to pass, he could not wait to assu his position again.
In this calculation, he unexpectedly discovered that the heavenly secrets had been deliberately concealed by soone. The two Emperor Stars, one old and one new, were shining brightly. Fortunately, there was a newly born General Star shining brightly beside the old Emperor’s Star, its radiance rivaling that of the Emperor’s Star.
By using his savings and repeatedly calculating, he finally determined the subsequent developnt. It seed that the old Emperor’s Star’s great task was not impossible to accomplish. It was just that everything depended on the General Star.
With this conclusion, he heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Thank goodness, it seed that the God of Heaven Destiny line would not be exterminated by the heavens!
With a decision in his heart, he tidied up a bit and rushed to this place to wait for Zhao Yuanlang and his lucky companions to arrive.
“Gentlen, if you want to go north on this trip, you cannot do it without the poor Daoist leading the way!”
The elder Daoist greeted everyone with a smile: “Imasurable Life Venerable! You will encounter nurous difficulties on this journey if you don’t have my help. Even if you took three more detours, you might not be able to reach the Flying Horse Hostel.”
Zhao Yuanlang and the others changed their expressions!
Their origins and destination were supposed to be top-secret, but this mad old Daoist suddenly blurted out their whereabouts. How could they not be shocked!
His Majesty’s personal guard was so alard that he imdiately drew his weapon and held it against the old Daoist’s neck.
“Daring! Who are you to speak so presumptuously!”
But the old Daoist just smiled nonchalantly: “As a donor, you were an orphan without parents from an early age, and you were fortunate enough to be taken in by your master. You have experienced many near-death experiences and barely survived. In fact, you still have one relative in this world, and she is your younger sister.”
The guard turned pale with fright! He had never ntioned the fact that his sister was alive to outsiders. How could this mysterious old Daoist know such a secret?
“Not only do I know that you have a sister, but I also know that she is your weak point. In the future, you will lose your life at her hands! I advise you to solve her as soon as you find her so that you won’t suffer miserably at your own sister’s hands. It would be a wrongful death!” The elder Daoist was still as calm as ever.
Di Yelei remained silent with furrowed eyebrows, unsure of the strange feeling in his heart towards this elder Daoist.
It was as if he was standing naked in front of the other person.
The guard angrily said, “You shaless old Daoist, how dare you curse ! It seems you don’t want to live!”
“Zhu Jiu, step back! How can you be so rude to such an esteed elder Daoist!”
Zhao Yuanlang finally spoke, scolding that guard.
“But…”
“Hm? Don’t make say it a second ti!”
Although Zhu Jiu, the guard, was furious, he had to obey and reluctantly withdrew his weapon.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Zhao Yuanlang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but then he softened his expression and greeted the elder Daoist with a fist: “Old gentleman, I am sorry. Now that you have calculated where we are going on this journey, please help us calculate what kind of dangers we will encounter.”
“Imasurable Life Venerable, no problem, no problem!”
The elder Daoist didn’t mind at all: “Your Majesty, you are going to the Flying Horse Hostel, right? To be honest, without the poor Daoist showing the way, even if you had three more days, you would not be able to break through the new Emperor’s line. On the contrary, if the poor Daoist joins you, by tomorrow at the latest, I promise to bring you all to the Flying Horse Hostel safely without harming a single soldier.”
“New Emperor?”
Zhao Yuanlang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Your Majesty, when I observed the stars at night, a southwest Emperor’s Star had already risen, and its montum has surpassed that of your Emperor’s Star. Now, the star representing you, Your Majesty, is dim, completely relying on the support of a newly born General Star beside it. Otherwise… hehe!”
The elder Daoist chuckled, his gaze sweeping over Di Yelei’s body before calmly playing with his long beard.
“Southwest… southwest… you an, Zhao Jiong has already proclaid himself Emperor?”
Zhao Yuanlang murmured to himself for a mont before his face suddenly changed! They had been on the run, cut off from news about the outside world, so they did not know about this developnt!
Zhao Jiong had proclaid himself Emperor in Gongzhou City while Zhao Yuanlang had disappeared in Gongzhou territory. Unable to send out any ssages, these two pieces of news would have caused chaos in the capital!
Zhao Yuanlang’s thoughts raced: “Does the elder Daoist already have a clever plan?”
…
The ancient and solemn city walls of Gongzhou City were awe-inspiring and filled with a murderous aura, with guards coming and going on the walls.
The setting sun cast its afterglow, covering the entire city with an orange glow. This added a layer of mysterious radiance to the entire Gongzhou City.
A figure galloped from afar and rushed to the foot of the city wall before shouting with his head raised.
“Prince Gong has returned to the city, hurry up and open the city gate to welco him!”
Prince Gong had returned to the city? Gongzhou City had completely fallen into the hands of the Zhao Country, and yet Prince Gong had returned at this mont? Almost everyone craned their necks to gaze at the single rider standing at the foot of the city wall.
The rider remained motionless on horseback, his waist held straight, without any weapons in hand.
As the wait was not long, the gates of Gongzhou City opened amid the surprised gazes of the people.
As the figure urged his horse onto the drawbridge, almost everyone’s heart was clenched with anxiety!
It was Prince Gong! The young Prince Gong had returned at this very mont!
As the galloping figure disappeared into the city gate, the news was passed on to various forces through different channels.
“You actually ca back?”
Before Prince Gong could step into the City Lord’s Mansion, a harsh scolding ca from inside, and Zhao Jiong’s figure appeared.
Nan Tianzong squinted his eyes and casually leaped off his horse, walking towards Zhao Jiong. Without saying a word, he raised his fist to attack, but the ministers on both sides quickly pulled him back.
“Heir! Heir, you must not do this! Heir!”
“Let go, let go of ! You bastard, how dare you use again…”
If Nan Tianzong still did not know he was being used by Zhao Jiong at this point, then he had lived a lifeti in vain.
