Chapter 246: Chapter 130: Tianqi Emperor Xue (3)

This was why the Immortal Dao Tributors dared to act so unscrupulously. They were guests turning on their host, intent on controlling the Emperor.

That night, the Imperial Palace erupted in chaos. The sounds of battle echoed everywhere—a rebellion had broken out!

"Send the tyrant to his death!"

Dozens of Immortal Dao Tributors, powerful enough to Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, unleashed terrifying Divine Techniques. They had finally dropped all pretenses, rallying around a young Prince as they advanced on Emperor Tianqi’s bedchambers.

They sought to establish a new dynasty, bringing the Daqi Country under their control.

The Immortal Dao, they believed, should stand above imperial authority.

「Deep in the night.」

A Little Eunuch arrived in a panic, pounding on the door of the Book Collection Martial Pavilion and pleading with Su Chen.

"Tributor Chu!"

"I’ve served His Majesty since I was young. I know you possess great abilities! Please, I’m begging you to intervene and save His Majesty..."

Su Chen did not open the door.

He was not asleep.

Instead, he was on the roof, gazing down at the Imperial Capital and watching the rebellion unfold. He wanted to see what tricks the Little Emperor, Snow, had brought back from the Great Xuan Celestial Dynasty.

’Either way, people would die tonight. But it wouldn’t be Tianqi Emperor Xue. Not while he, Su Chen, was here.’

BOOM!

That night, a flash of sword light pierced the heavens.

A single sword strike suppressed the world.

And yet, no powerful Immortal Dao Cultivator had appeared.

"This..."

"Such a powerful sword strike!"

"Could it be? Has that Nine Lives Prodigy from years past reappeared?!"

The dozen or so Immortal Dao Tributors’ faces paled. But when they saw the figure who had swung the sword, their eyes widened even further, filled with utter disbelief.

The one wielding the sword was not the Nine Lives Prodigy! It was the supposedly weak Emperor Tianqi—the one with no Spiritual Root and only a First-Grade Cultivation!

That night, Snow, clad in a silver Emperor’s Robe, came forth with his sword. Bathed in the light of the moon, he cut down one rebellious Tributor after another.

He was strong!

In the few short months since his ascension, he had used the Karmic Fortune of the Dynasty to reach Qi Cultivation Perfection. His combat prowess had even firmly stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Why?"

"How do you have a Spiritual Root!?"

The young Prince was scared witless. Seeing all the Immortal Dao Tributors dead, he scrambled to his knees and crawled toward Snow, his face a mask of utter desperation.

"Brother Snow, they forced me! I had no choice! Please, spare me this once! I’ll never do it again..."

The only answer he received was the sword in Prince Xue’s hand.

He was dead!

His eyes were cold and merciless, devoid of the slightest trace of warmth.

He had changed.

But now, he was a proper emperor.

"I will forge a new Dynasty! I will sweep away the clouds and let the sun shine forth, so that the heavens of this Eastern Domain will never again be controlled by these vile Immortal Cultivators..."

Snow declared.

...

...

「Meanwhile.」

Inside the Book Collection Martial Pavilion, an uninvited guest had appeared at some unknown time. He walked through the Martial Pavilion, admiring its layout as if in praise.

"It’s so similar!"

"It really is so similar!"

Finally, he sat down next to Su Chen, unceremoniously drank the tea from Su Chen’s cup, and asked him a question in an arrogant, untamed tone.

"So, is it you?"

His face was full of arrogance, his black hair dancing wildly. A scar ran across his face, nearly disfiguring him completely, but it couldn’t hide his ferocious expression.

He was a Demon!

A Demon who was on the wanted list the moment he stepped into the Daqi Imperial Capital.

His name was Gushan Jue!

"Forget it."

"I’ll just perform a Soul Search and see for myself."

"If it’s not you, then you can just die!"

Gushan Jue let out a bizarre, cackling laugh. He seemed utterly insane, the very picture of a Demon, with none of the refined, otherworldly air he’d had when they met years ago at the Qi Cultivation Immortal Pavilion.

BOOM!

He struck. With a thrust of his hand, thousands of sinister phantoms surged forth amidst roiling black mist. Countless pairs of crimson eyes appeared, blanketing the entire Book Collection Martial Pavilion and transforming it into a veritable Ghostly Realm.

Among them were an unknown number of powerful, ghostly beings, each one exuding the terrifying aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In response, Su Chen sighed.

’In just a little over a decade, the high-spirited Golden Robe prodigy of the past has become this crazed Extreme Cultivator. I wonder what could have happened all these years.’

"Have some tea."

"And tell me, how exactly did Void disappear?"

Su Chen poured a cup of tea and set it down in front of Gushan Jue.

In that instant, the Ghostly Realm shattered!

"This..."

An expression of disbelief crossed Gushan Jue’s face. His outstretched hand froze in midair, and he didn’t pull it back. The shock in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.

’Thirteen years have passed.’

’He was no longer that Qi Cultivation Golden Robe, but a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection.’

’One could say that even among those at Foundation Establishment, he was in the highest tier.’

’How did he break my killing move?!’

’He couldn’t understand it at all. When had this kid become so powerful? How was this possible?’
