That's What Villains Are Like

The moonlight was like water, but deep in the courtyard, there was a cold and dead silence. Even the chirping of insects and cicadas seemed to have disappeared. Only the night wind blew through the bamboos, making a rustling sound.

In the pavilion, Ye Shiyan's face showed pain, and his delicate and picturesque face gradually turned pale due to suffocation, and he could hardly breathe.

The hand holding her neck was slender and pale. It didn't seem to have much blood, but it was like a terrible pliers that was difficult to break free. It firmly fixed her, and then slowly lifted her up.

She showed off her hands and grasped the hand, trying to break free and struggle, but the terrifying and mighty power was as towering as a mountain.

She tried to mobilize the many magic powers in the spiritual sea of ​​meridians, but she was suppressed by the inexplicable aura. If she used even a little bit, she would collapse like smoke.

At this moment, she finally felt an unspeakable panic and fear. She wanted to speak, but could not make any sound.

"Hurry up and let go of Jian Jia. If you have anything to say."

"Don't hurt her."

Xiao Teng's expression was extremely ugly, and he did not dare to act rashly.

"Master Xiao, you are really an infatuated person."

The cold voice seemed to sneer, and then slowly let go of Xiao Teng's eyes, which were filled with shock, anger and distress.

Only then was Ye Shiyan able to land on her feet, and she gasped for breath. Whether it was because of the pain or for other reasons, some crystal tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. She looked extremely pitiful and heart-wrenching.

Xiao Teng's chest was surging with anger, his fists were clenching, and he asked coldly, "Who are you? If you have something to do, come to me directly. What does it mean to deal with such a weak woman?"

"who I am?"

"I am the person you hate the most."

The cold voice still sneered, and then in Xiao Teng's eyes full of shock, anger and disbelief, the face shrouded in bloody mist slowly disappeared.

His eyebrows are handsome and his facial features are smooth, like an immortal who stepped out of a painting, but his expression is very indifferent and cold, and he seems to have no emotions.

"Jiang Lan..."

After seeing this face clearly, Xiao Teng burst out in disbelief. He was so unbelievable that his whole body was trembling slightly due to the vibration.

Ye Shiyan, who was panting heavily, lowered his head, stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes with some crystal tears, and his heart trembled slightly.

"it's me."

"Why, such an unbelievable look?" "Jiang Lan"'s voice was still cold, with a chuckle and indifference.

"impossible……"

"You are not Jiang Lan. He does not have such strength. Who are you?"

At this moment, Xiao Teng seemed to have just come to his senses, staring at the face in front of him that he hated so much, and shouted in a deep voice.

If Jiang Lan had such terrifying and incredible strength, how could he snatch the so-called Immortal Creation Dew?

Who among the younger generation would be his opponent besides the mysterious girl in white.

The person in front of him was definitely not Jiang Lan, but someone else.

"Haha, don't you believe it?"

"Then Mr. Xiao, who do you think I am?"

"Jiang Lan" smiled faintly. As he spoke, mist appeared on his face again, and then turned into a face familiar to Xiao Teng. It was Xia Jie, the third son of Prince Wu Xuan. However, this face did not last long and turned into another face. Another young dignitary... In an instant, his face changed thousands of times, and finally became exactly the same as Xiao Teng.

However, what has not changed is the coldness and indifference of those eyes, the emotion fluctuations that seem to be lifeless, and the fact that everyone is regarded as a stupid dog.

Xiao Teng looked at this scene, his whole body was trembling slightly, and then he said almost word for word, "The remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect."

"hehe……"

"Master Xiao is a smart man."

"Jiang Lan" just smiled noncommittally, neither admitting nor denying.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Xiao Teng stared at this person coldly, his eyes flashing crazily, with mysterious runes intersecting in them, trying to see clearly the true appearance of the person in front of him.

But no matter what he did, he could only see a blood-colored face without facial features, shrouded in a thick blood-colored mist, and it was impossible to know the true identity of this guy.

"Young Master Xiao, as the third young master of Zhenbei Palace, should be able to guess what I want from you."

"I bet you don't want to see Miss Xie either, do you want her to die tonight?"

The voice was still cold.

But when he spoke, the pale and bloodless palm had already strangled Ye Shiyan's neck again, as if with just a little force, he could break it with a click.

"Let go of Jian Jia. What do you want? Just talk to me. There is no need to threaten me with her." Xiao Teng's heart skipped a beat and he said hurriedly, fearing that the other party would kill Xie Jian Jia regardless of anything.

Judging from the strength this person had just displayed, it would be difficult for him to save Xie Jianjia without the other party being able to react...

"Brother Xiao Teng, you don't have to worry about me..."

Ye Shiyan coughed, and her face showed a bit of pain due to suffocation, but soon she couldn't make any sound.

Because as the hand tightened, her struggle became weaker, and her pupils gradually expanded and lost focus.

"Stop."

"What do you want?"

Xiao Teng was extremely angry and wanted to stop him at all costs, but he was afraid of offending the other party and causing Xie Jianjia to die tragically.

"During this period, the Emperor of Daxia mobilized King Zhenbei, Prince Chong'an, Duke Zhongguo and others into the palace, and then transferred many generals back from the border areas. You should know what Emperor Xia is doing. "

"Tell me all the information you know honestly, and I will consider letting Miss Xie live."

"You don't have to think of ways to deceive me. I know better than anyone what you have been doing during this time." This cold voice said indifferently.

"you……"

Xiao Teng was shocked, and his expression changed and struggled.

In fact, he had already guessed this possibility when he guessed that the other party came from the Blood Immortal Sect...

After all, other than that, he didn't know that there was anything in him worthy of the other party's plot, so he followed him all the way and threatened him through Xie Jianjia.

But this kind of thing involves His Majesty the Xia Emperor's plan, which is a huge secret. How can it be easily leaked? If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be possible for Zhenbei Palace to die?

Xiao Teng was struggling in his heart, his eyes were tangled, but when he touched Xie Jianjia's eyes, which were gradually turning pale and losing blood, and had almost lost the focus of the pupils, there were waves of slight trembling, heartache, guilt, and self-blame.

If it weren't for herself, she wouldn't have experienced what happened tonight.

Originally, she was waiting happily for her to come, but in the end, she almost lost her life...

"My patience is not very good. Mr. Xiao, please think carefully if you dare to deceive and hide from me."

"What are the consequences?"

Xiao Teng looked into those cold and indifferent eyes, gritted his teeth, and felt extremely angry, humiliated, and unwilling.

"You...you asked me to think about it..." he gritted his teeth.

A few days ago, during the banquet and joyful gathering in Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, his father Xiao He specifically talked to the three brothers about this matter.

The Prince of Zhenbei was highly regarded by His Majesty the Xia Emperor, so he specially transferred his eldest brother Xiao Ye and second brother Xiao Wan back from the border to guard the Palace of Eternal Life among the four forbidden halls of the palace.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, the Zhenlong Seal, the national weapon of today's Great Xia, is enshrined.

Their father, Xiao He, had repeatedly warned them that this matter was extremely important, and that the other three forbidden palaces were only used as bait to deceive others and attract the remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect.

"It seems that Mr. Xiao is challenging my patience..." You Leng's voice was neither urgent nor slow, but in Xiao Teng's ears at this time, it was like a reminder.

He looked at Xie Jianjia, whose face turned slightly blue due to the pain of suffocation, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said,

"Let go of Jianjia."

"I...I tell you..."

Xiao Teng really couldn't help but watch Xie Jianjia die in front of his eyes because of him.

Even if this matter is likely to bring unimaginable disaster to Zhenbei Palace.

But now, he doesn't care about that anymore.

"Very good, I like smart people like Mr. Xiao who know their interests."

That cold voice seemed to finally have a smile, nodded, and then let go of Ye Shiyan.

"Brother Xiao Teng, you don't have to worry about me, you can't help others do evil..."

As soon as she fell to the ground, she gasped for air and said full of self-blame and guilt.

"I'm the one dragging you down."

Xiao Teng's heart was full of sighs and helplessness, and he suppressed his heavy mood, and then told all the plans he knew about Emperor Xia this time, not daring to hide anything.

In front of such a master, any concealment is useless.

He is already thinking of a way out. After Emperor Xia's plan is revealed, the Blood Immortal Sect will definitely change its strategy. If he informs his father, King Zhenbei, of this matter now, is it still too late?

In two days, can the national weapon Zhen Longxi be moved to another place?

Also, how to explain this kind of thing? Once Emperor Xia knew about it, how would he view Zhenbei Palace? After all, what he is doing now is no different from betraying Emperor Xia and colluding with the Blood Immortal Sect.

"Master Xiao is really refreshing."

"If that's the case, then I won't accompany you."

After Xiao Teng revealed everything, the cold voice seemed to let out a faint smile, and was enveloped by a thick blood-colored mist.

The next moment there was a bang and disappeared silently, leaving no traces.

Everything that happened just now seemed like a dream.

Xiao Teng's face was ugly and his heart was extremely heavy. The origin of the other party was mysterious and his methods were unbelievable.

Even if he wanted to keep it, it was impossible, not to mention that once the commotion here became louder and attracted the patrol guards of the imperial capital, even Xie Jianjia would have problems.

After all, she is a sinner now and has been sent to the Canglan Sword Sect. How can she appear in the imperial capital openly?

"I'm sorry, brother Xiao Teng, it's all my fault that you were threatened by that mysterious man just now."

Ye Shiyan's complexion at this moment also softened a lot. Looking at Xiao Teng who was full of gloom and solemnity, she blamed herself very much.

"I can't blame you. I was too careless and didn't even know I was being followed secretly."

"What happened tonight is not accidental. The mysterious man just now must have been paying attention to me for a long time, otherwise he would not have known that I would come to see you tonight, just in time to capture you and use you to threaten me."

"If it were just me, I would not be threatened by him. I have never considered this..."

Xiao Teng clenched his fists, his eyes were cold, but he secretly regretted it in his heart.

At the same time, he was also thinking quickly in his mind about what went wrong and when he was targeted.

Not long after he arrived at Osmanthus Garden, the mysterious person from the Blood Immortal Sect arrived not long after that. How could it be such a coincidence?

Suddenly, a bright light flashed through his mind, and he thought of something.

"It shouldn't be possible..."

Xiao Teng's face was extremely gloomy, almost dripping with water.

"Brother Xiao Teng, we should quickly think of a way to stop the Blood Immortal Sect's plan. If His Majesty Xia Emperor knows about this matter, even if the Zhenbei Palace is highly regarded, he will definitely be involved..." Ye Shi Yan's face was full of worry.

Xiao Teng frowned. When something like this happened, he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

If because of him, Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is charged with colluding with the Blood Immortal Sect, he will be damned.

The only way now is to return to the house first and tell his father Xiao He honestly the whole story to see if there is any room for recovery.

"Jianjia, don't worry, no matter what happens next, I will bear the responsibility..."

"I must rush back to the mansion first, inform my father about the matter, and discuss it with my brother and the others. We must not take it lightly."

"I'm going to take my leave now. Protect yourself."

Xiao Teng was also a little anxious, and he didn't have much to think about. He stayed here to reminisce with Xie Jianjia, and then he got up and left.

"Brother Xiao Teng, don't worry."

Ye Shiyan watched him leave without saying a word to stop him. He just sighed quietly, and then his eyes became cold and calm.

She stroked her neck, which was covered with black and blue bruises, and the cold breath just now appeared in her mind.

It is impossible for ordinary people to directly suppress her cultivation aura, causing all the mana she mobilized to collapse instantly.

In this world, only Jiang Lan can do it...

That weird and terrifying figure just now was definitely his method.

But Jiang Lanke never told her about such a thing at the beginning, and she was not even mentally prepared. She almost thought that she would die here tonight.

If Xiao Teng didn't stop her, that strange figure might actually kill her.

"You didn't tell me because you were afraid that I would reveal some flaws and make Xiao Teng suspicious?"

"This is indeed the life of a tool man..."

The corner of Ye Shiyan's mouth curled up, seeming to be a little self-deprecating, but also a little bitter.

When she realized that it was Jiang Lan's back-up plan, she actually cooperated, but what Jiang Lan did... quite chilled her.

I have done a lot of things for him, although because of the previous incident with Nuyin, the two of them had plots against each other and were still enemies.

But now, she can be regarded as Jiang Lan's person. Such a plan was not informed to her in advance, and even she was involved in the plan.

Ye Shiyan began to worry. If he was no longer useful to him in the future, would he abandon himself as a tool without hesitation?

"Are you blaming me for not informing you of this matter in advance?"

And just as many thoughts were swirling in Ye Shiyan's heart, a clear chuckle came from behind her.

She was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted and didn't look back. She just said, "Young Master Jiang has no time to warm up and is busy with work. How can he have time to see the little girl in person?"

Jiang Lan walked out of the house behind her, and the blurry shadow lingering in the blood just now merged into his shadow like a shadow.

"The grievance is quite big. I don't know the severity of the blood puppet. Let me see if it hurts you."

He smiled, walked to her, looked at her flowery face up close, and then his eyes stayed on the slightly blue and black bruises on her neck.

"Mr. Jiang, you are so pity for beauty..." Ye Shiyan replied, but it was hard to tell whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

"I definitely don't care if others get hurt, but you are different." Jiang Lan smiled.

Ye Shiyan was not that easy to fool, and she just rolled her eyes secretly at his kind words.

"The situation is urgent. I happened to meet a guy on the other side and dealt with him. Then I suddenly thought of attacking Xiao Teng. Even if I informed you immediately, in front of Xiao Teng, you probably wouldn't do anything. Let’s take a chance to see the Jade Talisman of Communication.”

Jiang Lan helped her tuck the few strands of green hair on her temples to her ears, and then explained with seriousness on her face.

When Ye Shiyan heard this, his face brightened slightly.

As for whether Jiang Lan's words were true or false, she didn't know and didn't care. She only cared about the attitude of his explanation.

He rushed over immediately and explained in this way, which showed that he still cared about himself more or less.

"The figure that took action just now was the puppet you refined?" she asked aloud.

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "The refined Wanling Blood Puppet has no intelligence and can only do some simple things according to my initial instructions."

"Wanling Blood Puppet? What is the relationship between the Blood Immortal Sect and you?" Ye Shiyan raised her eyes to look at him.

Jiang Lan stroked her smooth jade face and smiled, "A smart woman doesn't ask too many questions."

Ye Shiyan pursed his lips and wisely did not ask further. There were too many secrets in Jiang Lan, and even if he explored them, he would not be able to finish them all.

So it’s better to know less.

"If Xiao Teng had not chosen to compromise just now, would I have died?" She looked towards the direction Xiao Teng left and asked quietly.

Jiang Lan sighed slightly, "Why do you ask such a question? How can I be willing to let you die? At most, it's just to scare that guy, and he will compromise."

Ye Shiyan raised her eyes to look at him and sighed inaudibly.

As a tool person, she really has no qualifications to bargain with Jiang Lan now, and her life is in his hands...

At least his current attitude is good. As for other things, don't think about it.

"You should have received the magic crystals and demon-related books I sent to you two days ago?" Jiang Lan asked.

Ye Shiyan nodded and said, "I got it, it's enough. I've been practicing for a long time."

Jiang Lan nodded slightly, and then planned to leave. The drama tonight was not over yet, he had to do one more thing.

Ye Shiyan also vaguely guessed something.

"Xiao Teng should not be able to return to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion tonight..."

Since Jiang Lan deliberately asked Xiao Teng to leak Emperor Xia's plan to the "Blood Immortal Cult", he would definitely not allow Xiao Teng to return to Zhenbei Palace safely.

At the same time, Xiao Teng, who had just left Osmanthus Garden, had a gloomy expression on his face, and many thoughts were swirling in his mind, finally settling on a resolute and calm face.

"Zhang Yuan, you'd better not lie to me..."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

He clenched his fists and thought of "Zhang Yuan" at the banquet tonight. Apart from that group of people, almost no one knew that he came to have a private meeting with Xie Jianjia.

A few days ago, "Zhang Yuan" deliberately used this topic to tease him.

He didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that when "Zhang Yuan" asked this question... he just wanted to confirm whether the person he had been in contact with was Xie Jianjia.

After confirming this matter, he secretly followed him all the way to Guihua Garden, taking this opportunity to sneak attack and capture Xie Jianjia to threaten himself.

After all, who would have thought that the dignified inner disciple of Yijian Palace would be a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect? It was hidden so deeply.

Of course, this is just Xiao Teng's current guess. He is not sure whether it is true or not, and he hopes that he just suspected the wrong person.

Because in the past few days of contact, he really treated "Zhang Yuan" as a brother and comrade, and did not want to train him to be a disciple.

But at this moment, the more he thought about it, the more Xiao Teng felt that there were many doubts about "Zhang Yuan".

Can an ordinary inner disciple of Yijian Palace easily take out the life-extending magic elixir? Can the genius of the ancient Chiming sect be easily defeated by the weak? Can it activate that mysterious heaven and earth object in Qianyuan Mansion?

And just when Xiao Teng was full of doubts, he suddenly felt an inexplicable energy coming from him.

Osmanthus Garden is located in a relatively remote area. In the area close to the outer city, the area is even more empty. The surrounding buildings and mansions are all dim with not many lights.

This kind of scene can be said to be extremely rare in the extremely prosperous and bustling imperial capital.

"what happened?"

Xiao Teng immediately became cautious, and at the same time, a shimmering jade talisman appeared in his palm, and he held it tightly.

"Are you from the Blood Immortal Sect? Do you dare to surround and kill me like this at night at the feet of the mighty Emperor?" His heart sank as he guessed something.

Apart from the people of the Blood Immortal Sect, he could not imagine anyone being so bold and unscrupulous.

Xiao Teng did not dare to neglect or hesitate, his eyes were filled with golden light, and the God-breaking Eyes were filled with gleaming light. Although he could not feel any figure, a dangerous warning swept over him.

Click...

Without any hesitation, he directly crushed the jade talisman in his hand, causing many powerful men from Zhenbei Palace to notice the movement and rush over quickly.

However, the moment he crushed the jade talisman, an inexplicable sense of stagnation instantly came from every inch of the void around him.

His whole body seemed to be grasped by an invisible and terrifying hand. Even breathing became difficult, and his soul seemed to be shattered.

puff……

The next moment, a blood-red light emerged in the void. It was a vague blood-colored figure, the size of a palm, holding an ancient sword filled with blood in his arms, and seemed to be scolding.

At this moment, there seemed to be the trembling sounds of billions of sword shadows, and immediately a bang exploded in Xiao Teng's sea of ​​consciousness.

This was a horrifying buzz like a wave, which directly shocked his soul and made his consciousness blur immediately.

The next moment, I saw his eyebrows split open silently, oozing out terrible black blood. The ancient sword held in the arms of the bloody villain was taken out of its sheath with a clang, and at the moment when his consciousness was blurred, he slashed directly. Got in.

Xiao Teng's vision went dark, blood spurted out from his mouth, and his consciousness was completely blurred.

And when he fell to the ground, a series of shocking exclamations faintly sounded in his ears, someone was coming here.

The news that the third young master of Zhenbei Palace was assassinated last night and was seriously injured and fell into a coma spread throughout the entire imperial capital the next day, causing an uproar.

Restaurants, shops and teahouses everywhere were filled with shocked and surprised voices of discussion and conversation.

Even the immortal sects from all over the world were shocked and unbelievable by this news.

You know, Xiao Teng is not an ordinary person, but a famous young dignitary in the imperial capital with a prominent family background and outstanding talent.

His father, King Zhenbei, was highly regarded by Emperor Xia and held a large number of troops. His master was still the current national master Ge Qixing, and his status was respected.

Looking at his peers, there are not many young prodigies who can compete with him.

Such a dazzling, aura-filled young man was unexpectedly attacked by a mysterious man right in the imperial capital, at the feet of the Emperor. He was seriously injured and is still unconscious to this day.

This is incredible.

This is already a slap in the face of today's Daxiazi.

Even if the famous doctors in the imperial capital went there, they were helpless. After prescribing a few doses of soul-warming medicine, they had no choice but to retreat.

It seemed that Xiao Teng had not simply injured his soul. Ordinary treatment methods were useless and needed some time to study. During this period, he could only warm his soul through spiritual medicine.

Xiao He, the king of Zhenbei, was furious, but he had no choice but to watch Xiao Teng unconscious in bed.

If Xiao Teng hadn't noticed something was wrong early last night and crushed the jade talisman in advance, so that many experts from the Zhenbei Palace could notice and rush there as soon as possible, I'm afraid he might have died there.

On the eve of the Southern Hunting Exercise, something like this happened, which naturally aroused the anger of the people.

Emperor Xia also immediately sent many experts to investigate and investigate, trying to find the real culprit.

Many people suspected that this was a demonstration by the Blood Immortal Cult.

After all, something similar happened not long ago, when the Blood Immortal Cult assassinated a group of young dignitaries in the imperial capital, but it was not as violent as this time.

It must be that Emperor Xia's recent actions have angered the Blood Immortal Sect, so he chose Xiao Teng, the third son of King Zhenbei who was highly regarded by him, to attack.

For a time, there was even more turmoil and undercurrents in the imperial capital.

The immortal sects from all walks of life who came to watch the ceremony had different thoughts and discussions. Emperor Xia was very angry. He mobilized many experts to search everywhere and ordered the use of traceability methods to find out the real culprit.

There is a dark room in the palace of Prince Chong'an.

The current Prince of Chong'an County, Chongzheng, sat on a gilt dragon chair with his eyes slightly closed.

Different from what he wore when he met Emperor Xia in the palace that day, today he is wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe. The cuffs, collar and symmetrical placket are all embroidered with real dragons flying into the clouds. He is very majestic and unstoppable. Angry and self-defeating.

Behind him, stood a silent old man, his whole body seemed to be hidden in the darkness.

"The third son of King Zhenbei was assassinated..."

"Haha, God really helps me."

After a long time, Chongzheng opened his eyes. When his eyes opened and closed, there were wisps of golden light, as if surrounded by dragon aura.

Although Emperor Xia announced his entry into the palace, informed him of many plans related to this time, and asked him to mobilize experts to guard Chenlin Palace, he bluntly stated that the national weapons were located in it, and the other three palaces were just bait to deceive others.

But Chongzheng had already understood that it was just Emperor Xia's words.

The Dragon Seal of Guoqi Town has always been in the Hall of Eternal Life and has never been moved.

If you want to move the Zhenlong Seal, how loud will the movement be? Emperor Xia knew very well that this kind of rhetoric could only be used to fool some foreign ministers.

Chongzheng could be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and he had already had someone in the clan's mansion.

The current Xia Emperor has not been recognized by the national weapon, nor has he been able to refine it.

In the past few days, no corresponding ceremony was held deep in the palace, and the elders in the Zongren Mansion did not get the slightest news.

All of this is enough to show that those words are just lies.

The Zhenlong Seal, the real national weapon, will be guarded by the two sons of King Zhenbei. The forbidden palace guarded by the others will only serve as a cover for others and attract the firepower of the Blood Immortal Sect.

"I didn't expect that people from the Blood Immortal Cult would actually come to me and propose cooperation."

"However, this is indeed a good idea. I am worried about how to cut off Emperor Xia's arms."

"She has been sitting on this throne for several years. It's time for me to take the throne..."

Chongzheng's eyes sparkled with ambition. As the uncle of the current Emperor Xia, he knew many secrets in the court, including the two biggest secrets of the current Emperor Xia.

First, Emperor Xia's real name is Xia Junxi, and she is not a man. In these years, she has only been pretending to be a man to stabilize her ambition.

Secondly, Emperor Xia could not get the approval of the National Instrument Zhenlong Seal. Although we don’t know why, this is indeed a fact.

Currently, she can only borrow the national weapon Zhenlong Seal to practice, but cannot refine it at all.

To a certain extent, the national weapon Zhenlong Seal has been passed down from generation to generation since the existence of Daxia. It represents the supreme power and status of the royal family, and its significance is of great significance.

To be recognized by the national weapon means that it is the imperial power granted by heaven.

But Emperor Xia... couldn't get the recognition of the national weapon, and she kept this matter hidden.

If word spreads, I don’t know how much waves and sensation it will cause.

Chongzheng, the prince of Chong'an County, has always coveted the throne, and this is a big reason.

He has always felt that the current throne has always been vacant. Although Emperor Xia is the nominal lord of Great Xia, her power has been devolved and she is not recognized by the state. What qualifications does she have to sit in that position all the time.

He believes in politics, why can't he fight for it?

This southern hunting exercise just gave him a huge opportunity. Both the Blood Immortal Sect and the barbarians would become his pawns.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the southern hunting exercise has arrived.

In the realm of Qianyuan Cave, the momentum was astonishing. The emperor was traveling, and hundreds of officials followed him. The majestic atmosphere stretched for thousands of miles.

An astonishing dragon image, as powerful as a river and an ocean, looms deep in the sky. The dragon scales, whiskers, and horns... are huge and lifelike, representing the strength of the emperor today.
