Chapter 198 The Truth About Destiny!
"Imperial order?"
Xiao Bieli looked at Eunuch Lü and said calmly:
“I remember I had no relationship with the imperial court, and in fact, I had some enmity with them.”
Two more figures walked in from the alley entrance.
The eldest prince of the Qianlong Emperor, Qian Chang, and a first-rank master dressed in ordinary clothes.
Qianchang looked at Xiao Bieli and smiled:
"Brother Xiao, you misunderstand. There is no enmity between us."
"The reason why the imperial court took action against the Blood-Clad Tower was because of the pressure from the Imperial Observatory and the Rotten Chess Temple. The purpose was to force 'Blood River Divine Dragon' Liu Jingfeng to show himself by using the Blood-Clad Tower."
"They just didn't expect that there was such a master as Brother Xiao in the Blood Robe Tower."
"This time, we've come to seek cooperation from Brother Xiao..."
boom!
Before Qianchang could finish speaking, a tremendous pressure came from him.
Under this immense pressure,
With a 'thud,' Qian Chang's legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground, shattering the bluestone floor. His bright red blood stained the stone fragments.
Qian Chang's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his arms were bulging.
He could clearly feel that his kneecap was shattered. Although there was an ointment in the royal family that could heal him, it would take a long time.
This is a crucial period in the struggle for the crown prince position.
Especially since the forces behind the Sixth Prince and his allies have suffered heavy losses at Xiao Bieli's hands, his chances are very high.
He is the eldest prince of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Xiao Bieli didn't give him any face at all?
The first-rank expert standing behind Qian Chang's expression changed slightly. He wanted to step forward, but seeing that Eunuch Lü had not spoken, he could only swallow the words that were about to come out.
If he were facing any other Rank 1, he would have already made his move immediately.
But now he's facing Xiao Bieli. Let alone one of him, even three of him wouldn't be enough for Xiao Bieli to cut down with one blow.
Xiao Bieli looked at Qian Chang kneeling on the ground and said calmly:
"Who do you think you are, to presume to call me brother?"
Eunuch Lü paid no attention to Qianchang and laughed:
"Young Master Xiao, it was the First Prince who was ignorant and offended you!"
"I will definitely report to His Majesty when I return to the capital."
He couldn't understand why His Majesty would send Qian Chang, this good-for-nothing. He, a master at the fifth level of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, had to be so humble in front of Xiao Bieli, yet Qian Chang started calling him brother right away.
If Qianchang were already the crown prince, perhaps even the most powerful figures in the martial arts world would give him some face.
Let alone Xiao Bieli, any first-rank master could disregard the dignity of a prince.
Upon hearing Eunuch Lü's words, Qian Chang's face turned deathly pale.
He knew that Eunuch Lü held far more weight in the Emperor's eyes than he did, and that Eunuch Lü was a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Thunder Tribulation Realm. If he were to actually speak up, he would truly lose his chance at becoming the Crown Prince.
Xiao Bieli didn't even glance at Qian Chang; he was just a fourth-rank grandmaster, and Xiao Bieli wasn't lacking in experience.
If you ever find Qianchang disagreeable in the future, just kill him with one blow.
Seeing that Xiao Bieli remained silent, Eunuch Lü said:
"Young Master Xiao, this isn't the place to talk. Why don't we move to another room for a chat?"
Xiao Bieli nodded.
Since Eunuch Lü knows that Liu Jingfeng is still alive, it makes sense to have a talk with him.
and,
After his trip to the East China Sea, he felt that the biggest bosses in this world were the Heavenly Demon Sect, the two Buddhist temples, and the three Taoist sects.
The Great Qian Dynasty was nothing more than a puppet they had supported.
Eunuch Lü raised his eyes and spoke calmly to the first-rank expert standing behind Qian Chang:
"Take the eldest prince to recover from his injuries first!"
"Yes!"
The expert breathed a sigh of relief, helped Qianchang up, and quickly left.
……
After a stick of incense.
Eunuch Lü led Xiao Bieli to a secluded courtyard.
In just a short while,
Countless delicacies were laid out in front of the three of them.
Eunuch Lü waved his hand, and all the servants attending him withdrew.
With a smile, Eunuch Lü raised his cup and drank with Xiao Bieli before speaking:
"During this trip to the East China Sea, did Young Hero Xiao learn anything from Guan Xuanyun?"
Xiao Bieli shook his head:
"Although Guan Xuanyun knows some things, it seems he doesn't know much."
Where is Liu Jingfeng, the Blood-Clad Master?
Eunuch Lü:
"Liu Jingfeng has been making frequent moves recently, visiting the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Earth Sect, and the Rotten Chess Temple."
"It's probably to draw the attention of those forces, so they don't have a chance to deal with the Blood-Clad Tower."
Feng Si Niang couldn't help but say:
"Weren't the people who attacked our Blood-Clad Tower before all from your imperial court?"
Eunuch Lü shook his head:
"Only a few are our people; the majority are people planted in the court by those sects."
"The eunuch Tian who died at the hands of Young Hero Xiao was a spy of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He thought he was well hidden and had not revealed any flaws, but in fact he was already under His Majesty's control."
"The four Dragon Guard families also have connections with Buddhism."
"Back then, when those sects put pressure on him, His Majesty could only let his own people fight against the Blood Robe Tower, to see if he could get the help of Blood River Divine Dragon Liu Jingfeng to eliminate some of them. After all, if they didn't die, some important organizations of the court would be under their control, and it wouldn't be so convenient for His Majesty to do things."
"I just never expected that they would all die at the hands of you, Young Hero Xiao."
"Young Master Xiao, we have a common enemy!"
"Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism are the common enemies of the entire world!"
"The Heavenly Demon Cult Leader, Abbot Huiming of Rotten Chess Temple, the Heavenly Venerable, the Earthly Venerable, and the leader of the Human Sect are all ancient monsters who have lived for thousands of years. The reason they can live for so long is through constantly possessing and being reborn!"
"They appear to be senior figures in the martial arts world, but in reality, they are thieves!"
"Young Master Xiao, you may not know this, but both Liu Jingfeng and you are vessels they have their eyes on!"
"Even Fan Suiyun, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect who died at your hands, was just a vessel!"
Xiao Bieli frowned slightly:
Even experts at the seventh or eighth level of the Thunder Tribulation cannot guarantee that they will succeed in every possession.
"How did they do it?"
"The power of destiny!" Eunuch Lü said in a deep voice:
"Everyone possesses the power of destiny, but human strength has its limits. One person's destiny is insufficient to shake the heavens, but a dynasty gathers the destiny of countless living beings, and the emperor has the destiny of the dynasty by his side!"
"They have the means to strip the power of destiny from the Human Emperor, and then use that destiny to seize his body and be reborn!"
Xiao Bieli:
"So the old emperor died at their hands?"
Eunuch Lü nodded:
"Not bad!"
"What about Vajra Temple?" Xiao Bieli asked again.
Just now, Eunuch Lü mentioned all the powerful figures from the three religions, but he didn't mention anyone from the Vajra Temple.
Eunuch Lü shook his head:
“The Vajra Temple should be different from them. Back then, the Vajra Temple was already in decline. It was only because Shi Xian joined the Vajra Temple four hundred years ago and made rapid progress, achieving the seventh level of Thunder Tribulation martial arts, that the Vajra Temple was able to maintain its status as both a Buddhist and a Buddhist temple.”
"As far as I know, there are nine people who are sharing the world's fortune with the Celestial Venerable and the others. Apart from the ones I just mentioned, I don't know about the others."
