Abdication
The thirty thousand soldiers were originally following the First Prince's orders and were prepared to slaughter the city to increase the power of the Forbidden Arts.
But now that they saw Long Chen and Qin Lie, they were at a loss of what to do.
Their arrival meant that Ding Qiu and Qin Lie were dead … They didn't even have time to increase the power of the Forbidden Arts!
The thirty thousand soldiers looked at each other. They were all disciples of the Black Dragon Empire and naturally knew the consequences of slaughtering the city. For a moment, no one dared to act.
On the city wall, a young man in his late twenties walked out and saw that Long Chen and Qin Lie were unharmed. But when he looked at the small town in the distance and saw that the blood mist had already dispersed, his heart sank.
He was originally a guest of the First Prince and came here to supervise the thirty thousand soldiers. But now, it seemed that slaughtering the city was useless.
"Retreat!"
This person's face was ashen and he immediately wanted to seal the city gate and retreat.
But before he could retreat, he saw a sword beam shoot up into the sky and leave a deep trench on the city wall.
Slash.
This person didn't even have time to take out his weapon before his body was split in two and he died.
"Put down your weapons or you will be killed without mercy!"
Long Chen's face was cold and his eyes were filled with killing intent. Behind him and Qin Lie, the twenty thousand soldiers were glaring at them.
Clatter …
The thirty thousand people suddenly knelt down and threw their weapons on the ground, trembling.
In the past few days, the story of Qin Lie defeating three hundred thousand soldiers of the Great Qian Empire with thirty thousand soldiers had spread throughout the Black Dragon Empire. How could these thirty thousand people have the courage to fight them?
Seeing this scene, Qin Lie and Long Chen snorted and led the twenty thousand soldiers into the city. After understanding the whole story, they didn't stay any longer and returned to the capital.
Both of them knew that the First Prince couldn't take the throne. Otherwise, the entire Blue Sky Empire would be plunged into misery and suffering.
… …
In the capital, Qin Feng, who was sitting on the golden chair, had the two jade tokens in his hands break.
Clatter.
The jade tokens shattered on the ground and he slumped on the golden chair as if he had lost all his strength.
"They, the two of them are also dead!" The First Prince's entire body was drenched in cold sweat, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Originally, the Dingqiu duo was his last hope, but now even these two people were dead.
The thirty thousand soldiers defeated the Big Dry Empire's three hundred thousand army.
Even two Return to Void Stage mighty figures had been killed …
The First Prince Qin Feng didn't know what to do for a moment. Not long after, a servant outside the door sent a message, "Crown Prince, the Monarch invites you to the main hall to discuss a matter."
A bitter smile flashed across the corner of Qin Feng's mouth. He knew that Qin Lie hadn't returned yet, so his position as the crown prince was likely to be lost.
"I, Qin Feng, will not sit still and wait for death!"
After a short moment of absent-mindedness, Qin Feng's eyes flashed with unprecedented madness.
When Qin Feng walked in, all the civil officials and ministers fell silent. At the front of the hall, Qin Qing's face was livid.
"Why is Feng 'er wearing armor to attend court? Why are all the soldiers outside the imperial palace, as well as your guest officials, so eager to make a move … "Qin Qing's voice was as cold as ice.
Qin Feng didn't reply. He had to ascend the throne before Qin Lie returned!
The entire imperial palace was filled with a somber atmosphere. Qin Feng had already prepared himself for a life and death struggle.
"I, your son, will ascend the throne today! I will become the ruler of the Black Dragon Empire. "Qin Feng looked coldly at Qin Qing, his words filled with madness.
Qin Feng knew that as long as Qin Lie and Long Chen returned, not only would he have to hand over the position of Monarch to them, he might not even be able to keep his life. Rather than that, he might as well fight to the death!
Plop.
Following Qin Feng's words, everyone in the hall fell to their knees, afraid that they would be implicated.
"Crown Prince, have you gone mad? Are you trying to usurp the throne?! "
"Impudent, the Monarch is still here … How dare you disrespect your elders!"
…
A small number of generals glared angrily at Qin Feng, and many of Qin Qing's trusted aides had already unsheathed their swords.
Cough cough, cough cough cough …
At this moment, Qin Qing coughed repeatedly, and in the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the floor of the hall.
When everyone quieted down, he stared at Qin Feng and said, "My son, although I know that you have a violent personality, I didn't expect you to be this crazy. Do you know that if it weren't for this Message Talisman in my hand, you would've died even if you reached the Return to Void Stage!"
Following Qin Qing's words, numerous black shadows appeared outside the hall, and in an instant, numerous heavy silver crossbow bolts were pointed at the hall from countless holes.
At the same time, ten old men appeared behind Qin Qing, and each of them looked like they were on the verge of death.
Seeing this scene, Qin Feng retreated in horror. He had lived in the Imperial Palace since he was a child, but only now did he know that there were so many hidden guards around the palace.
Seeing Qin Feng's panic, Qin Qing shook his head and said, "I called you here today not to usurp your position as the Crown Prince, but to abdicate … After today, you will be the Monarch of the Black Dragon Empire!"
Qin Feng stood in place, and his whole body was stunned. He said in a daze, "What, what did you say? You want to abdicate your position to me today? "
Qin Lie defeated the Great Qian Empire's army of three hundred thousand with only thirty thousand soldiers, and his reputation was at its peak. Qin Feng originally thought that after the Great Qian Empire's siege was lifted, his position as the Crown Prince would be lost.
Even if his position as the Crown Prince was not taken away, he knew that if he couldn't become the Monarch, he would have no means to restrain Long Chen and Qin Lie when they returned.
But he never thought that Qin Qing would hand over the position of Monarch to him.
If he could really become the Monarch of the Black Dragon Empire today, then the whole situation would be turned upside down …
Qin Feng's expression suddenly became clear, and he stared at the Transmission Talisman in Qin Feng's hand.
"It's a letter from the five great sects, and they want me to become the Monarch of the Black Dragon Empire. Haha … the heavens are helping me!" Qin Feng thought through everything in a moment.
Qin Qing coldly snorted and said, "The five great sects? No, it's your master. He said in the letter that you must become the Monarch of the Black Dragon Empire, or else the people of the Black Dragon Empire will never be able to walk on the Path of Immortality! "
No one would be able to walk on the Path of Immortality. As soon as these words were said, the surrounding people all trembled.
The Nine Great Empires belonged to the five great sects, and every time the disciples of the five great sects stepped on the Path of Immortality, they represented the rise and fall of the power of the Nine Great Empires. If the letter was true, and no one stepped on the Path of Immortality, then in less than ten years, the entire Black Dragon Empire would decline.
Qin Feng heard this and laughed even more fiercely. The reason why he became Qing Yun Zi's disciple was actually to make a deal, but he never thought that this moment would come at such a coincidence.
Qing Yun Zi was quite famous in the five great sects. Although his cultivation was far inferior to the elders of the other sects, he was very fond of power, and often interfered in the affairs of the Nine Great Empires.
He even controlled the succession of the Monarch of the Nine Great Empires, and groomed many of the younger generation to become monstrous existences in the various great sects.
Therefore, although he was ashamed of the five great sects, he turned a blind eye to it.
The Godly Saber Sect's Elder Yun Zi was a Grandmaster Artificer, and he often appeared in the Nine Great Empires, and his reputation was extremely high.
