Capital.
Above the Golden Hall, there was a dead silence.
Emperor Zhaowu, Ye Chen, had a solemn expression on his face. After the civil and military officials finished their routine reports on national affairs, rhe atmosphere suddenly quieted down.
Jingzhao Mansion s governor, Deng Xingzhi, sighed inwardly before taking rhe initiative to step forward and report on the progress of his investigation into the spreading rumors. As he spoke, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly oppressive.
After Deng Xingzhi finished speaking, the court remained silent. It wasn’t until much later that Emperor Zhaowu’s voice was heard from above, “Deal with this case according to your opinion.”
Emperor Zhaowu issued no further orders, but Deng Xingzhi’s brow furrowed even more. It was then that he heard the Eunuch Supervisor’s voice, “The court is adjourned.”
As the civil and military officials left the Golden Hall, they all had different thoughts. Those who were familiar with each other exchanged glances, tacitly agreeing to discuss the matter at the usual place.
Especially those from noble martial families; their hearts surged with emotion. As the rumors in the capital grew louder, more and more people began to believe that they were not just baseless gossip.
There were too many pieces of evidence, too many coincidences.
Emperor Zhaowu’s overthrow of the Dayan Dynasty had been supported by the No-Life Evil Cult. Many of the current nobles were once desperate fugitives, fighting and shedding blood for their cause.
In the hearts of the more ambitious ones, a faint voice whispered, “The world is being manipulated by the Ye Family. At this moment, people s hearts are wavering, and the foundation of the world is unstable. Since 1 myself come from the Lifeless Sect, why can’t 1 take that position?”
Though it was a sunny day outside the great hall, everyone felt a chill. Unrest hinted at instability within the revitalized Great Ming Dynasty. In the Grand Temple, even the royal aura surrounding the newly cast Mountain River Tripod seemed somewhat constrained.contemporary romance
Emperor Zhaowu, Ye Chen, looked ar a few ancestral tablets placed on the altar in rhe Grand Temple, all belonging to his own lineage.
After paying his respects, he stepped to the side and opened a hidden door. Inside was the ancestral hall of the Dayan Dynasty, perfectly preserved and filled with offerings, showing that someone had been attending to it daily.
At that moment, a voice from behind Ye Chen said, “The royal aura of the Mountain River Tripod has been fluctuating lately. It seems the hearts of the people are wavering, too.”
The one who spoke was none other than rhe Sect Leader of the White Lotus Sect, Ye Kai. After making sure his disciples were settled, he had brought his most core members to hide in the Imperial Palace.
Ye Chen nodded at his words. He was, of course, aware of the changes to the Mountain River Tripod, but he was not afraid of the wavering royal aura.
He had the means and the ability to deal with the discontent of the people; what he really cared about was the mastermind behind this plot.
Was the person behind this scheme the mysterious expert who had taken the Nine Provinces Tripod? The fact that the Barrier Breaking Pills he had hidden within the palace had been stolen the day before was especially unsettling.
“Did you bring the Barrier Breaking Pills?”
Ye Kai nodded and handed over the jade bottle in his palm, “There are exactly four Barrier Breaking Pills left, it’s fortunate that we had requested two more before, otherwise…”
Ye Kai’s words were full of relief, but Ye Chen’s face darkened. At this moment, he finally made up his mind, determined to fight to the bitter end.
Whether the mastermind was the mysterious expert or not, that person would almost certainly have six Barrier Breaking Pills. This would be the most brutal test for the Great Ming Dynasty.
“We will not worry about it. Let us quickly select loyal people, preferably from our family juniors. We will do our best to create Innate Experts.
At that time, 1 want the world to see that the foundation of my Great Ming Dynasty is unshakable and that no one can ever think of replacing it.”
Ye Kai did not object to Ye Chen’s words because rhe unrest was just beginning to take root so it would be fitting to use all their might to squash it.
Otherwise, if the turmoil were allowed to spread, the entire world would become a broken sieve, leading to endless troubles.
As Ye Chen prepared to fight to the death, Zhong Liang she ng in the Wen Yuan Pavilion was, at this moment, extremely excited after piecing together a clue from hundreds of biographies.
“Well played, Grand Ancestor of Dayan, for not cultivating immortality and bringing the Immortal Cultivation Techniques into rhe imperial tomb for your descendants. It’s quite ruthless.”
As for why the Grand Ancestor of Dayan didn’t just destroy the Immortal Cultivation Techniques directly, Zhong Liangsheng couldn’t figure it out at the time. However, if it weren’t for Zhong Liangsheng’s careful reading, this information might never have been discovered.
The Imperial Mausoleum was built with rhe most robust Vajra Rocks, and the exterior was heavily guarded, all armed with God Slaying Crossbows.
Moreover, at this time, the Great Ming Dynasty had even dispatched Innate Grandmasters to stand guard at the mausoleum. Even if other Innate Grandmasters came here, it would be almost impossible for them to destroy the Imperial Mausoleum.
After confirming this clue, Zhong Liangsheng immediately left the Imperial Palace in rhe capital city and headed towards the city’s outskirts to visit the Imperial Mausoleum. Though it was daylight, he moved swiftly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The Dayan Imperial Mausoleum.
Heavily guarded both inside and outside, the Dayan Imperial Mausoleum should not have had such strict security as it belonged to rhe previous dynasty. However, its security measures were currently no different from those of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Zhong Liangsheng quickly located the entrance to the Dayan Taizu’s tomb.
This Sealing Dragon Stone was indestructible, and even an Innate Grandmaster would not know how long it would take to break through.
However, Zhong Liangsheng was nor an ordinary Innate Grandmaster. He stepped forward, placed both palms on the Sealing Dragon Stone, and carefully probed it. Then, his inner energy surged out, but there was no sound.
But if you looked closely, you would see the Sealing Dragon Stone trembling slightly. At this moment, Zhong Liangsheng’s expression was solemn as his inner energy circulated ceaselessly, gradually seeping into the Sealing Dragon Stone of rhe Dayan Taizu.
Then, with a light shout, Zhong Liangsheng’s palm caused the Sealing Dragon Stone to turn to dust, and with a wave of his hand, the wind blew and the dust scattered..
