Reborn as a fiend statue

In order to show their sincerity, Xue Weihan, Liu Yunyue, and Rosa explained some of the hidden methods and various background information of their respective empires.

Except for some secrets related to life and death, most of the news has been revealed honestly.

The three of them are all people of great wisdom, so they naturally know how dangerous the evil god's resurrection is.

They all also trusted Yu Yi's ability, so they didn't hide anything.

"Since the three of you think highly of me, I will share some information with the three of you."

Yu Yi briefly explained the situation of Xingyue Island, Divine Phoenix Empire, and Holy Angel Kingdom under his name.

As for the Fairy Tribe and the Chamber of Commerce under Liu Qiangwei's name, they are still kept secret and have not been exposed for the time being.

He also did not expose the information of the Time and Space Cult.

After several people discussed some details, they signed a preliminary agreement.

When each takes control of their own empire, an alliance will be formally signed.

Yu Yi was also very happy to get several powerful allies.

At least it doesn't have to be so hard for him to plan it alone.

…

In the next few days, Chaoge City entered a brief period of calm.

Good news has also come from various places. The princes have basically settled the new racial problems in their respective trial areas and have begun to deal with the aftermath.

Suddenly, shocking news spread in the palace that Emperor Zisheng was critically ill.

The royal group of elders immediately sent envoys to recall the princes who were undergoing trials in various places.

The news that Zi Sheng was critically ill caused an uproar.

The entire Chaoge City is filled with panic.

Anyone with any sense knows that Chaoge City will become the vortex of the storm next.

Many minor nobles and ordinary people are planning to escape from Chaoge City and stay away from the storm.

But now Chaoge City can only enter and exit, and you can't escape even if you want to.

All forces secretly started to use various methods to find out the news in the palace.

The royal family seems to have been well prepared. The palace has been completely sealed off. The royal group of elders and the imperial army are in charge. Even the civil and military officials of the Xia Empire cannot go to the palace to see them.

Unable to find out the news in the palace, many forces did not know whether Zi Sheng was critically ill or not, and they did not dare to act rashly.

The princes who participated in the trial led their teams and hurried back to Chaoge City.

After they arrived at Chaoge City, they rushed to the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible.

However, the princes were also blocked by the imperial guards and the guarding elders, and still could not enter the palace.

The five elders guarding the palace had in their hands an edict issued by Emperor Zisheng himself, which justified the ban on the palace.

Even the princes could not find a reason to refute.

Unable to enter the palace, the princes began to think carefully.

Zixin took Jiang Yuyao and Yan Qingqing to the hotel where Yu Yi was staying.

Snow is not cold, Liu Yunyue and Rosa also arrived after hearing the news.

inside the room.

A group of people sat on futons around a table.

Zi Xin said impatiently: "Brother-in-law, my father is seriously injured and has become critically ill. Now that the palace is closed, what should I do?"

Yu Yi shook his head and said: "Brother Xin, don't worry, this matter may not be true. The Zhuxia Empire has a profound foundation. Even if His Majesty Zisheng's injury cannot be cured, it is impossible to make it worse."

Xue Weihan took over the topic and said: "Brother Yu is right. The timing of the news that His Majesty Zi Sheng is seriously ill is too coincidental. It happens to be when the princes are finishing up in the trial area."

"One has to suspect that His Majesty Zisheng wants to take this opportunity to fish and lure out some forces hidden in the dark."

Zixin said worriedly: "What if my father is really seriously ill?"

Liu Yunyue said coldly: "The palace has been sealed off. Even if His Majesty Zi Sheng is really seriously ill, what can you do? Are you going to grab the throne now? If you are not afraid of death, you can try."

Zi Xin was choked and speechless.

Rosa also nodded: "Yes, even if His Majesty Zi Sheng is really critically ill, he will leave an edict at the end and choose a successor."

"Whoever dances the hardest now may have the worst ending."

"Until it is impossible to obtain specific information, the wisest choice is to wait with peace of mind and let others serve as cannon fodder for testing."

Zixin knew that what everyone said made sense.

He sighed softly and had no choice but to let go of his worries for the time being.

Yu Yi consoled him: "Brother Xin, don't worry so much. I went to the palace not long ago to play chess with His Majesty Zi Sheng."

"Based on my observations, it is speculated that His Majesty Zisheng's injuries are most likely faked. He is planning a layout to remove obstacles for the Zhuxia Empire."

"During this sensitive period, Brother Xin just needs to wait patiently. Don't do anything, just keep a low profile.

There will always be someone who jumps out and tries it out.”

"Um."

Zi Xin nodded.

Yan Qingqing was unable to say anything during the whole process. She felt that her brain was not strong enough, so she knowingly chose to remain silent and be a qualified listener.

…

After the news came out that Zi Sheng was critically ill, all forces took action.

On the first day, everyone was watching, wanting to see what kind of tricks were being played in the palace.

The next day, some courtiers finally couldn't bear it and went to the palace to see His Majesty Zisheng.

Officials who can go to the palace to meet the emperor will not be of low rank.

Those civil servants were not afraid of the imperial guards and the elders who guarded the palace. They directly confronted the imperial guards.

The civil servants loudly accused that someone wanted to blockade the palace and murder His Majesty.

Civil servants are basically civilized.

After being possessed by Wen Qi, he has a majestic and upright spirit, and his voice is as loud as a bell.

The entire Chaoge City heard the civil servants scolding the imperial guards and royal elders.

The guarding elders and the imperial guards remained unmoved and did not care at all about the other party's insults.

The civil servants who came to see him were furious.

After scolding for a long time, the civil servants were thirsty and had no choice but to retreat.

The tough attitude of the guarding elders and the imperial army made people doubt whether His Majesty Zisheng was really critically ill, which caused the change in the group of elders.

People from various major forces vaguely know some information, and they know very well that every empire's elders are full of factions.

The Zhuxia Empire was no exception.

Some people suspect that the injured emperor has been controlled by the elders and that the imperial army has rebelled.

This news was spread by interested parties and spread rapidly.

Chaoge City, which was already filled with panic, was even more disturbed.

The eldest prince stood up first and accused the fifth elder who guarded the palace.

Although the fifth elder is a direct descendant of Zi Sheng, he has become closer to the second prince since Zi Sheng's accident.

The eldest prince believed that the fifth elder's ban on the palace was an attempt to murder his majesty.

The fifth elder has remained silent, which makes people even more suspicious of his purpose.

After the eldest prince spoke out, the civil and military officials who supported him also spoke out one after another, accusing the group of elders of going their own way and plotting rebellion.

Zihong's reputation rose rapidly.

Many neutral officials began to shift to his camp.

The second prince couldn't bear it when he saw this. He immediately jumped out to rebuke the eldest prince and refuted the eldest prince's lame excuses.

The fifth elder is close to the second prince. Although he has not joined the second prince's camp yet, there is a chance to win over him.

The two of them can barely be considered in the same camp.

The fifth elder was criticized by the eldest prince, so the second prince naturally had to stand up and defend him in order to gain the favor of the fifth elder and win him over.

Zitai believes that the fifth elder did nothing wrong.

As the second prince, he was unable to enter the palace even after the Fifth Elder sent people to blockade the palace.

Isn’t this the fifth elder’s performance in enforcing the law impartially?

Zitai also accused the eldest prince Zihong of looking for trouble.

After the second prince jumped out, all the civil and military officials who supported him also stood up and spoke out.

The factions of the eldest prince and the second prince were quarreling fiercely.

The Ninth Prince Tianjiao, as well as several other princes competing for the throne, also gradually joined the chaos.

The various factions criticized each other and became red-faced.

If there wasn't a worship group coordinating on the side, I'm afraid a fight would have started.

The third prince Zi Xin, despite being reminded by Yu Yi, did not join in the chaos and remained silent.

After several princes quarreled for a while, there was no winner.

They began to win over neutral courtiers and gradually strengthened the strength of their respective factions.

Tianyuan Continent's forces in Chaoge City also began to contact the princes one after another, secretly adding fuel to the fire.

The joining of major forces has made Chaoge City's chaos even more chaotic.

In the hotel room.

Xue Weihan sighed: "I didn't expect that just a fight for the throne would plunge Chaoge City into complete chaos."

Yu Yi sneered: "Haha... If His Majesty Zisheng decides on the position of crown prince when he returns to Chaoge City from the Central Ancient Continent, or announces the results of the trial as soon as possible, how can there be so many things?"

"He wanted to be a chess player, but he made the people of Chaoge City miserable."

"Because of his single-handed planning, Chaoge City suffered several disasters and tens of thousands of people died. This is a stain that cannot be washed away."

Liu Yunyue sighed: "Sure enough, the most ruthless emperor's family is the most ruthless. Emperors say they love their people as their own children, but how many of them actually care about the lives of ordinary people?"

Rosa frowned and said, "The eldest prince, the second prince, the ninth prince, and others are dancing so happily. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty Zisheng will settle the score with you?"

Yu Yi waved his hand and said: "Of course they are not afraid. The family of the eldest prince Zihong's mother and concubine is very powerful, and there is support from the second elder faction."

"The Second Prince's Taimu and Concubine's family are not willing to give in too much, and the three elders' faction is standing behind him."

"The Ninth Prince Tianjiao also has a powerful clan behind him and is supported by the four elders. He is also not weak."

"The three of them all have strong backgrounds. Even if they are liquidated in the end, the only ones who will suffer are the princes who have weak backgrounds and want to compete for the throne."

Jiang Yuyao frowned and asked, "Brother Yu, when will we enter the game?"

Yu Yi said calmly: "There's no rush, we just need to wait quietly. Wait until His Majesty Zisheng appears, or until the incident in the palace is fully understood, before we take action."

"Um."

Zi Xin hurried into the room with Yan Qingqing.

"Brother-in-law, something big happened."

"What's the matter?"

Zi Xin explained: "I don't know where the great elder is in retreat, and I can't contact him at all. My father's life and death are unknown, and the palace is sealed."

"The elders were afraid that they would not be able to control the situation, so they decided to open the altar again and invite the kingdom's artifact to scare Xiaoxiao."

"There are even rumors that the Council of Elders will unlock some of its secrets to show the power of the empire."

The corner of Yu Yi's mouth raised: "Interesting, it seems that the chaos is about to reach its climax."

Zixin said worriedly: "Brother-in-law, if the elders invite the artifact and the secrets, wouldn't I have no chance? I have no supporters in the elders."

"Don't worry, everything is possible before things are finalized."

"Let's go to the Sacrifice Square first to watch the excitement."

"good."
