Xia Chichi raised her hand: "Although there's no record, theoretically, it must be, there must have been a conflict between Emperor Ye and the Sword Emperor."

Zhao Changhe said: "I'm thinking, with the collapse of the epoch, most of the Old Gods died unnaturally. Currently, it's known that only two people built their tombs in advance, one being the Azure Dragon, the other the Sword Emperor, and both lay peacefully in the coffins they prepared... Is there something suspicious about this?"

Tang Wanju said: "I've thought about it too. The Azure Dragon's tomb is in the Human Realm, a proper imperial burial mound on Mount Mang, with its location shifted and the Human Realm's Qi Veins altered. On the other hand, the Sword Emperor's Tomb is clearly a Secret Realm formed by a fragment of the Heavenly Realm... We couldn't judge before due to lack of information. Now with more data, there's an obvious question - the collapse was of the Heavenly Realm, it's understandable that Demon Gods in the Heavenly Realm would die. But the Azure Dragon's Tomb is clearly in the Human Realm, how did the Azure Dragon die?"

Xia Chichi said: "Most likely killed by Emperor Ye. Azure Dragon betrayed Emperor Ye's trusted aide..."

Zhao Changhe whispered: "Betray or not, the result is the same. I'm sure that anyone in the Human Realm was killed by Emperor Ye, a typical example is Piaomiao. But Emperor Ye can exterminate his subordinates, yet cannot completely eliminate Piaomiao."

The two women exchanged glances, wondering what Emperor Ye is up to...

Zhao Changhe said: "Then the question arises, the Human Realm didn't collapse, after the Azure Dragon's death, it was still understandable that he could have subordinates to bury him in a tomb. The situation in the Heavenly Realm is different, who buried the Sword Emperor? Who would have the time during the great calamity to bury someone in a tomb?"

"Could it be..." Xia Chichi hesitated, "He was severely injured outside, stumbled back to the tomb by himself and lay down?"

Zhao Changhe whispered: "No."

"Why?"

"Because I went to the outskirts of the Sword Emperor's Tomb, and there was an intensely thick Evil Qi. If he died from a heavenly calamity, there shouldn't be such a dense remnant of Evil Qi and resentment. It's more likely that he was murdered. After his death, his subordinates, like his Sword Spirit, buried him back in the tomb."

Xia Chichi was stunned: "Makes sense."

"Moreover, when he built the tomb, what made him think it would be preserved? If he had that confidence, why not just hide in the tomb to escape the great calamity? Unless he knew, the calamity itself was not targeting the space of the Heavenly Realm, but was directly targeting themselves. As long as they were alive, hiding anywhere would be useless. On the contrary, after death, the tomb wouldn't be attacked, and the other party wouldn't go so far as to grind the bones to ashes... As for whether he could be resurrected in the future, that would be up to fate, anyway, his legacy was left behind..."

Tang Wanju muttered to herself: "If so, then it wasn't the world destruction caused by the death of the Heavenly Dao as the legend goes, but a deliberate extinction purge against the Ancient Demon Gods. Some of the leaders sensed it early on and made preparations in advance."

How did it go from this, even the Sword Emperor was killed by Ye Wuming, and there's even a motive. From this, it can be inferred that even the world destruction was done by Ye Wuming.

Zhao Changhe scratched his head, logically it should be fine, but doesn't it feel a bit off... No matter how powerful, it's unlikely she'd cause the world destruction, that seems over the top...

Zhao Changhe thought for a while: "Alright, let's continue practicing the Four Symbols Formation, first the simplified version without me, so there's no need for Space-time Law. Even the simplified version, the Array with the gathering of the Four Symbols can unleash terrifying power, perhaps reaching a level close to the Imperial Realm Third Layer. Then we can all head to Kunlun together, whether to find the White Tiger or Jiuyou, we'll have a bit of confidence even if acting separately."

The two women blinked, Zhao Changhe's words implied that the entire troop would set off, including Xia Chichi.

Tang Wanju hesitated: "Then... what about state affairs?"

Xia Chichi immediately said: "Just consider the Emperor as having secluded himself for cultivation or on a tour, or going to war personally, all important matters shall be handled by the Prime Minister."

Tang Wanju said angrily: "You're so happy about that, aren't you? Watch out, I might usurp your throne!"

"Usurp away, except for the position of the main consort, everything else is up for grabs."

"Who said you're the main consort? Do you dare announce it to everyone? Don't think that just because I'm ostensibly your Minister, you can use it to pressure me on this matter, you can have the rest, but not this."

Zhao Changhe: "???"

No, how did you suddenly start arguing over this...

Xia Chichi chuckled, crossing her arms: "I'm not arguing with you. He arranged it, go find him, why are you losing your temper at me."

Tang Wanju glanced at Zhao Changhe, lowered her head, and said nothing.

Her look of needing to carry out an order even if irrational made Xia Chichi cry and laugh: "Weren't you always known for being able to speak out and advise? Why not advise him, you just listen to him without limits, what if he's wrong?"

Tang Wanju pursed her lips, sighed: "Because he's right, once the Four Symbols Formation is practiced, that's how it should be used... Compared to these matters concerning world-threatening Demon Gods, other affairs of state are not as important."

Xia Chichi's joy was almost overflowing.

She had just asked Zhao Changhe when she could enter the Worldly Society, and Zhao Changhe said he wasn't sure, clearly had not considered it, but turned her head and it was already decided, this time she could go too.

Tang Wanju sighed: "We won't be leaving tomorrow, right?"

Zhao Changhe shook his head: "I'll first go find Ying Wu personally, you can rehearse the Four Symbols Formation for a few more days, and after the spring examinations, we'll head to Kunlun. Once there, we'll naturally make contact."

Tang Wanju finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It's not that the Emperor can't leave the capital, but they shouldn't leave in such haste. Since there's a few days to plan and prepare, given the current stable situation, it's indeed possible to leave.
