In the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
The old Emperor Yang Qian's eyes flickered with a dim light.
Although the Crown Prince was not as outstanding as those top talents, he was still the eldest son!
The other Di sons were even inferior to the Crown Prince.
At least in terms of martial arts, there was a gap.
Although the Ninth Princess was a direct relative and had great talent in martial arts, she was still a woman.
The old Emperor would never consider passing the throne to her.
Now that Yang Qian knew that he did not have much time left, he had to pave the way for the Crown Prince and eliminate all threats!
"Kill Lu Ping 'an first, then get rid of King Wu Nan!”
Yang Qian's killing intent towards Lu Ping 'an was getting stronger and more urgent!
When Lu Ping 'an was born, the phenomenon was too shocking!
Back then, he had already made up his mind to kill and put it into action.
Fortunately, Lu Ping 'an had become crazy when he was very young and did not cultivate martial arts.
Only then did Yang Qian gradually let it go.
But now, it seemed that it was a huge mistake!
This child was so scheming that he actually managed to deceive everyone!
From Lu Ping 'an's current martial arts cultivation, it was not difficult to see how shocking his talent was.
Now, he had displayed such terrifying wisdom and leadership abilities…
In the future, he would not just be the second King Wu Nan. He would definitely surpass King Wu Nan!
Such a monstrous talent could not be left alive!
Yang Qian felt that he could not wait any longer.
He didn't plan to use any more tricks. It was just a waste of time!
"As for King Tongyou, it's not too late to deal with him in the end…"
Yang Qian had long known that King Tongyou was ambitious and harbored evil intentions.
It was still fine if he was still on the throne, but once he died, King Tong You might be in trouble!
However, King Tongyou was nothing to worry about in Yang Qian's eyes!
As long as he eradicated the entire Lu Clan, King Tong You would be able to do whatever he wanted in the end.
……
Not long after, another piece of heavy news was spread.
The Deputy Commander of the Heavenly Wolf Army, Zhang Yangming, was assassinated in the camp!
Once the news came out, it caused an uproar in the world again!
" Deputy Commander of the Celestial Wolf Army?"
"People in the martial world call him the Golden Snake Mad Lord!"
"Master is the famous and ruthless Spear Devil Senior!”
"I wonder who was so bold as to assassinate him?”
"He's a great expert at the perfected Vajra Realm. I heard that he was instantly killed by someone without any suspense!”
"Doesn't he have the protection of the Heavenly Wolf Army and many guards? Even if an Omnipotent Realm expert were to attack him, he might not succeed, right?!”
"No one even knows what the murderer looks like!”
"Do you think it was the Third Prince of Martial South who did it?" someone guessed in bewilderment.
"He does have this motive!"
"But to be able to assassinate Zhang Yang Ming in such a domineering manner, he must be a top figure in the Myriad Manifestation Realm!”
"Lu Ping 'an actually has such a terrifying expert under him?!”
Countless people were so shocked that their scalps went numb!
Assassinating a perfected Vajra Realm commander in an army of 10,000 and escaping unscathed.
This was not something an ordinary Myriad Phenomenon Realm expert could do!
This person had to be good at concealment and assassination.
Otherwise, all the commanders in the various military camps would have died long ago.
Although there weren't many martial arts titans at the Myriad Manifestation Realm, there were still some!
However, he had never heard of how many Heavenly Manifestation Realm experts were able to do this.
……
Great Gan Empire.
Qingyun City.
In King Jing's Mansion.
Yang Qingshu held a book in his hand and read it carefully like a Confucian scholar.
However, that noble temperament was not something a Confucian scholar could possess.
Even if a great scholar was present, his aura would be weaker.
"Lu Yunshu is a woman after all.”
"You know it's a trap, but you still want to walk into it.”
"If the Tiger Soul Army is completely wiped out this time, she will have to bear the blame.”
"If she unfortunately dies, it will accelerate the conflict between the Lu family and the imperial family…"
"Although Imperial Father dealt with the Lu family, it was equivalent to indirectly pushing the Lu family to my side.”
"I will secretly assist the Lu family in this matter and appease them…"
"If we can't make the Lu family completely submit after doing so much, we can only get rid of them!”
Yang Qingshu's eyes flashed as he thought of a series of follow-up plans.
At this moment, a trusted subordinate rushed over.
"Your Highness, I have something to report!”
His tone was fast and urgent as he recounted everything that had happened in Nanman.
" What?!"
"Lu Ping 'an has 3,000 Grandmasters under him?”
"And use this to defeat the 200,000 strong Nanman army?!”
After hearing the news, Yang Qingshu almost lost his grip on the book in his hand.
He had never expected Lu Ping 'an to have such terrifying means!
Even if he were to personally break the situation, he would need to mobilize tens of thousands of elite soldiers to do so. Moreover, it was impossible for him to achieve a complete victory. At most, he would be able to recover some losses.
It was definitely impossible for him to defeat the Nanman army like Lu Ping 'an did!
"When did Lu Ping 'an nurture 3,000 Grandmasters?？”
Yang Qingshu was puzzled.
He knew the importance of intelligence. He had planted many spies in every corner of the Great Gan Empire.
Naturally, this included the King of Wunan's Mansion!
But where did these 3,000 Grandmasters come from?
In the end, the trusted subordinate told him about Zhang Yangming's assassination attempt.
Yang Qingshu instantly fell silent!
However, the shock in his eyes clearly could not fade.
Lu Ping 'an's subordinates were more powerful than he had imagined!
"Your Highness, King Tong You requests an audience…"
At this moment, another confidant came to report.
"Let him in."
Yang Qingshu took a deep breath and gestured.
A moment later, a man in a loose black robe entered the study.
He took off his hood, revealing a sinister and sorrowful face.
It was none other than Zhang Wanxiong, the King of Secrets!
He was alone and had disguised himself. It was obvious that he had come quietly and did not want to be discovered by anyone.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
King Tong You's voice was a little hoarse.
"King Tongyou, my condolences…"
Yang Qingshu sighed.
"Your Highness, as long as you can kill Lu Ping 'an and avenge my adopted son, I'll be fine.”
"Then this king will do whatever you want, go through fire and water…"
At the mention of Lu Ping 'an, Zhang Wanxiong gritted his teeth and trembled!
The hatred and anger in his heart were almost uncontrollable!
He had two sons, but one was still young, and the other had average talent.
Zhang Yang Ming, this foster son, made him very satisfied.
No matter which aspect, he was extremely outstanding!
He had even thought of letting this foster son inherit his mantle.
He had always treated Zhang Yangming like his own son, and had put in a lot of effort to nurture him.
After all, Zhang Wanxiong would also die of old age one day. Only true experts and true geniuses could do so.
Only then could the Zhang family continue to be glorious!
But now, the godson he had placed all his hopes on had been assassinated!
This hatred almost drove him crazy!!
He had to kill Lu Ping 'an at all costs!
