Chapter 15
Chengyang Imperial Palace, Meeting Hall.
"How is the Black Tortoise commander?"
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Kai was so anxious that he didn't even have the mood to read the memorial. He couldn't help but look at the two people standing behind him.
Hai Feiyu!
Vermilion Bird Commander, Li Wuyuan!
Even if there were two peak Xiantian first-grade experts guarding him day and night, it would not make him feel at ease at all.
When he heard from the Black Tortoise that a Half-Saint expert was not on the same level as a Xiantian first-grade expert, Zhao Kai could not help but feel a deep sense of regret.
If he could go back in time, he would have sent troops to wipe out these four sects.
However, the four great sects had been strangely docile since they took the throne, which made him mistakenly think that the four great sects did not dare to fight with the Chengyang Dynasty.
Now, he realized that all of this was just a superficial phenomenon. Once someone entered the Half-Saint Realm, it would cause a tsunami in the turbulent lake.
"Your Majesty, we haven't received any news from the North Garrison Guard for the time being. However, according to the news over the past few days, the aura in the secret chamber where the Black Tortoise Commander is getting more and more intense. Even a Xiantian first-grade expert will have difficulty breathing if they get within 100 feet of the secret chamber."
Hai Feiyu said slowly with an unnatural expression.
When he returned to the palace, he volunteered to ask Zhao Kai to help him enter the Half-Saint Realm.
Ever since Zhao Kai was born, he had been his personal bodyguard. He had blocked countless arrows for Zhao Kai over the years.
Becoming a Half-Saint was his only wish.
Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. As a eunuch, Zhao Kai thought for a long time and decided to place his hopes on the Black Tortoise.
"What's the use of having difficulty breathing?"
Zhao Kai's face was gloomy." Today is the 10-day deadline. If he hasn't advanced to the Half-Saint Realm, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sound Sect will join forces with the people of Jianghu to attack. What should I do?"!”
"First Prince Zhao Zhuan requests an audience!"
The eunuch's shout suddenly came from outside the meeting hall.
"What is he doing here at this time?"
"Xuan!" Zhao Kai's expression was slightly startled.”
"The First Prince is summoned!"
A yellow-robed man walked into the meeting hall.
"Your son greets father." Zhao Zhuan said.
Looking at Zhao Zhuan's tall and straight figure, Zhao Kai was slightly absent-minded.
Among the three princes, Zhao Zhuan was the one he liked the most. As for the other two princes, they were good at doing evil and teasing palace maids.
After this matter was over, it was time to establish the position of Crown Prince.
I just don't know if I'll have the chance.
If Chengyang is taken away from me
I've let down my ancestors.
Zhao Kai smiled bitterly in his heart.
"What brings you here?" he asked.
"Your son has received news from mother that today is the day that the sect master of the Heavenly Sound Sect, Luo Yang, will enter the palace with people from the martial arts world to assassinate you. As father's son, your son is unable to share father's worries. I feel uneasy and have decided to wait here and advance and retreat with father!”
Zhao Zhuan said in a deep voice.
"Good, you are indeed my good son.”
Zhao Kai nodded and laughed loudly." No matter what you think, I see your intentions. Stand by my side. When this matter is over, I will hold a ceremony to confer you the title of Crown Prince."”
Zhao Zhuan was overjoyed. He cupped his fists and bowed."Thank you, Imperial Father!"
I just don't know if I have the chance to make it to that day
Zhao Zhuan's mouth twitched as he sighed in his heart.
Ever since he had heard from his mother about what might happen today, his face had turned pale.
Although he had never seen the power of a Half-Saint, there were many stories about the Azure Dragon in the palace over the years.
He was the one who single-handedly restored Chengyang to its former glory.
Now that a Half-Saint had appeared in the martial world, it would be easy for him to overthrow Chengyang's rule!
He thought about how he had been strict with himself all these years and didn't dare to slack off in his work style. In the end, he hadn't even touched that position.
Sigh.
Zhao Zhuan sighed and walked to Zhao Kai's side.
Hai Feiyu and Vermillion Bird looked at each other and sighed.
Both of them were peak Inborn experts, and they had the chance to take that crucial step again.
However, the two of them could only passively wait behind Zhao Kai and bet their lives on Black Tortoise.
At this moment, a majestic aura suddenly attacked and locked onto the two of them.
The two of them immediately felt their hair stand on end and their hearts palpitate.
Then, the two of them sensed a solid, thick, and wide palm print that was more than 100 feet wide suddenly slam down from the sky outside the meeting hall.
Their expressions changed drastically.
" Quickly bring His Majesty out of the meeting hall."
Hai Feiyu shouted and looked at Li Wuyuan. He knew that if the palm that fell from the sky landed, the entire meeting hall would probably be turned into dust.
In order to buy time for Zhao Kai and Zhao Zhuan to escape, their figures flashed and they were already standing on the roof of the meeting hall.
The vital qi in their bodies swept out, forming a fist and a palm that met the attack from below.
Bang!
The punches and palms only touched the monstrous palm print and were immediately disintegrated. They could only stop it for a short moment.
Hai Feiyu and Li Wuyuan's pupils constricted, and a hint of fear appeared on their faces.
This palm print made them feel the power of destruction!
However, they had already achieved their goal. Zhao Kai and Zhao Zhuan had already escaped from the meeting hall during this period of time.
In the next moment, Hai Feiyu and Li Wuyuan retreated rapidly, trying their best to avoid this monstrous palm print.
However, they were still a step too late. Although the two of them had escaped the attack range of the palm strike, the wind carried by the palm strike still hit the two of them.
Puchi.
The two of them spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood at the same time, and their auras were dispirited.
Just the aftershock of a single palm strike was enough to make two peak Xiantian first-grade martial arts experts lose their ability to fight.
The entire meeting hall was not spared. It turned into dust under this huge palm print, forming a shocking palm print that was more than ten feet deep!
" Is this the power of a Half-Saint?"
Wang Xiao hovered in the sky and slowly raised his right hand as he muttered.
This was the first attack he had launched since he advanced to the Half-Saint realm. Compared to his Xiantian first grade, this power was simply worlds apart!
Under such a huge earthquake, it was like thunder on the ground, causing the entire capital to suddenly freeze. Then, countless people in the martial arts world jumped onto the tall buildings and looked in the direction of the Imperial Palace in surprise.
They had received news half a month ago that someone would kill the current emperor within half a month and turn the entire Chengyang Dynasty into a pugilistic world!
With a skeptical attitude, the people of the martial world rushed to the capital. After someone subverted the Chengyang Dynasty, they would wantonly burn, kill, and plunder in the capital to muddy the waters!
"This is probably the power of a Half-Saint, right?”
"To be able to hover in the air, this is a Half-Saint!”
"What terrifying power!"
"Compared to Xiantian first grade, it's like an adult competing with a child.”
"I'll be satisfied if I can reach Xiantian first grade in my life. Who is this Half-Saint?”
“......”
Countless Jianghu people widened their eyes and watched as the tallest building in the palace turned into a huge palm print. Their hearts were filled with shock.
"Hahahaha!"
Wang Xiao laughed loudly as he looked at Zhao Kai, who had retreated to the white jade square.
His voice resounded throughout the entire capital." Old Emperor, as the saying goes, the emperor takes turns to be the emperor. This year, it's my turn. I'm Wang Xiao, the sect master of the Carefree Sect. Today, if you give up the throne to me, I'll guarantee your life!”
