At night, on Heavenly Capital Peak, 800 miles away from Qiandu.
The representatives of the five transcending powers were gathered here.
Five people.
Four men and one woman.
Each of them had an extremely terrifying aura. They were obviously high-ranked Grandmasters.
"Are you sure the poison is effective and can kill Emperor Qian in advance?”
A green-robed man with a sword on his back asked indifferently.
"My Sea of Constellations uses the Shadowless Soul Extinguishing Powder, and we've never failed before. We've already made arrangements for it more than ten years ago, and I believe that Qiandu will soon make their move.”
The person who spoke was a figure wearing a golden snake mask. His entire body exuded an evil aura.
The others frowned.
The Sea of Constellations 'poison techniques were indeed unrivaled in the world, causing all martial artists to tremble in fear.
Shadowless Soul Destroying Powder was a rare poison in the world.
Back then, Star Constellation had cultivated the Heavenly Poison Scripture to the peak. Once it was used, everything within a radius of a thousand feet would turn into a poisonous domain and destroy everything.
"What if that old thing Eunuch Wang Lin Xi isn't dead? It might not be able to poison Emperor Qian to death, right?”
"Haha, that's great. To save Emperor Qian who has used Shadowless Soul Destroying Powder, a Martial Half-Saint needs to use his True Qi to save him. If a Martial Half-Saint uses too much True Qi, is he still a Half-Saint?”
"This is indeed a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone.”
"Since that's the case, once Emperor Qian dies, we'll see who can be the first to enter Qiandu and who will lead the future Great Gan Lord Dynasty.”
"Sure."
"Then it's decided."
"Agreed."
Soon, the five of them finished their discussion and flew off in five different directions. They soon disappeared.
......
Qiandu, Taihe Palace.
Emperor Qian was discussing important matters with a few important officials.
The current war situation was extremely unfavorable to the imperial court. The alliance army of the vassal kings had already crossed the Yunjiang River and was approaching the Central Plains. They were less than five hundred miles away from Qiandu.
It was not until late at night that the ministers left.
Emperor Qian rubbed his brows, his eyes bloodshot.
He had not slept well for several nights in a row.
He had no choice. The pressure was too great.
Although he had already expected the current situation, he still felt an unbearable sense of suffocation.
He was not only facing four ambitious vassal kings who had accumulated great strength, but also five terrifying transcending powers with ulterior motives.
This wasn't just a battle for the throne within the Great Gan Imperial Family. It also involved external enemies.
Unfortunately, his brothers had been blinded by the throne. They colluded with foreign enemies and wanted to seize the Great Qian Empire.
The order to withdraw the vassal was just a prelude.
"Your Majesty, have some ginseng porridge."
An old eunuch tiptoed over and placed a bowl of steaming porridge beside him.
Emperor Qian happened to be a little hungry. He put down the memorial, picked up the bowl of porridge, and slowly drank it. However, his brows were tightly furrowed. It was obvious that he was thinking about something as he drank.
The old eunuch watched quietly from the side.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, Emperor Qian was about to continue reading the memorial when his body suddenly trembled. His expression changed slightly and he clutched his chest. Large beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The old eunuch was just about to leave with the bowl when he saw Emperor Qian's expression.
"I..."
Emperor Qian's eyes widened, but he seemed to be unable to speak. He only held his chest with his hand, and his face turned ashen.
"Not good, His Majesty has been poisoned.”
The old eunuch saw that something was wrong and shouted for help.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from outside, and figures appeared from the shadows. Among them was a hunchbacked old eunuch who instantly moved to Emperor Qian's side.
He grabbed Emperor Qian's wrist and his brows quickly turned extremely ugly.
"This, this is the Sea of Constellations 'Shadowless Soul Scattering Powder."
He let out an extremely sharp and ear-piercing sound, like metal rubbing against glass.
Everyone present was shocked. How could these experts who were protecting Emperor Qian not know how terrifying the Shadowless Soul Scattering Powder was? Unless there was an antidote, there was no way to save those who were hit.
Even if there was an antidote, it had to be taken within an hour. Otherwise, even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would not be able to save him.
Did the Great Gan Imperial Family have the antidote?
No, he didn't.
Other than the Sea of Constellations, no one else had the antidote.
"Hurry, hurry to the forbidden area and invite the ancestor to come out of seclusion.”
An old eunuch who was obviously a high-ranked grandmaster said in a deep voice.
Almost all of these top-notch experts had been trained by Eunuch Wang Lin Xi.
That was why he was called the ancestor.
Although the ancestor had not appeared for thirty years.
But they had great confidence in Eunuch Wang Lin Xi.
The ancestor would not die.
The old ancestor would definitely be able to break through the barrier and become a Martial Saint.
Faced with such a helpless situation, the first thing they thought of was their ancestor.
Only the ancestor could save Emperor Qian.
They also thought of an even more terrifying outcome. Once Emperor Qian fell, the imperial court would be without a leader.
The Crown Prince was young and could not control the situation at all.
Only the old ancestor could command the army and decide the situation.
Soon, a high-ranked grandmaster eunuch left Tai He Palace and headed toward the library pavilion.
He wanted to invite the old ancestor.
......
Taihe Palace was in chaos.
However, the library pavilion was very quiet.
Ye Cheng was lying in the Yang-Gathering Stone Coffin, cultivating the Heaven Mending True Body.
The Heaven Mending True Body was still at the first level and was far from perfection.
However, he was not in a hurry.
"I've been checking in recently, and I've only been using ordinary items. I have to try a new place.”
Ye Cheng thought.
He had signed in the library pavilion for more than ten years, and he was about to vomit.
It was time to change positions.
Perhaps there would be great gains?
There were so many places in the Imperial Palace. The Throne Room should be a good place.
As the place where Emperor Qian held the court meeting, it would definitely be blessed with luck. With the blessing of the country's luck, there might be huge rewards for signing in.
Anyway, he was already a Martial Saint. He could come and go without a trace. He could sneak in at night. No one in the palace could see him.
Suddenly, Ye Cheng's face revealed a look of surprise.
"Eh, someone is heading towards the forbidden area at the back of the mountain again?”
