When the others rushed over.
The matter had been resolved.
After casually saying a few words, Yan Caizhe sent two God Martial Realm cultivators to guard the mansion.
At this juncture.
He couldn't allow anything to happen to Qin Shujian.
If they lost an Array Dao Grandmaster, then things would be troublesome.
He did not forget.
The two array masters under Gu Changqing had not really made a move yet.
Ming Jingshan alone.
They could not deal with it.
On the other side.
Qin Shujian was much more cautious now.
Long before.
He knew that the Demon Clan would attack, but as time passed, the Demon Clan did not make a move. His vigilant heart slowly relaxed.
Until now.
This assassination made Qin Shujian even more cautious.
One had to know that —
The other party was able to break into the mansion at any time, and even Su Mingyang was not aware of it at all. This kind of method was simply impossible to guard against. If it were not for the protection of the two Dao Artifacts, the other party might have succeeded.
At the same time.
Qin Shujian rejoiced that he had the self-awareness to refine the Dustless Immortal Robe first.
With the appearance of the first round of assassination.
The entire Dingxiang City was under martial law.
Not only that.
Even the place where Ming Jingshan was was increased by many guards.
Although Ming Jingshan's strength was unfathomable, he still had to be prepared. The other party had the Ming Clan behind him. If something happened, it would be difficult to explain.
Just as Qin Shujian was silently cultivating.
Suddenly.
A piece of news spread from Zhongzhou Prefecture. Then, in a short period of time, it swept across the entire world like a storm.
At the same time.
He also received a system notification.
"Attention: Zhi Qian Year 6,785, 27th of the Yang month, the Human Emperor passed away!"
When he saw the blood-red words in his mind, Qin Shujian almost thought that he had seen wrongly.
However —
However, the words on it did not disappear.
In an instant.
He immediately withdrew from his cultivation state, and his face was full of shock.
"The Human Emperor passed away!"
"How could the Human Emperor pass away at this time!"
Looking at the system prompt, Qin Shujian's heart was truly shaken.
He was very clear.
What did the death of the Human Emperor mean?
The reason that the Great Zhao had established the world and suppressed the world was because of the existence of the Human Emperor. As to whether there were capable people among the heirs of the Imperial House, they were far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Human Emperor.
For a moment.
Qin Shujian's thoughts were in a mess.
But he was sure of one thing.
Once the news of the human emperor's death spread, even if the Great Zhao did not fall apart, it would still be unstable.
Previously, there had been rumors that the Human Emperor was nearing the end of his lifespan.
However …
The Human Emperor was still on the throne.
Under such circumstances.
Even though the various parties had other ideas, they did not dare to act rashly.
In the thirteen prefectures.
Only Thousand Mountains Prefecture, backed by the Demon Clan, would dare to show up at this time.
But even so.
The Demon Clan that supported Gu Changqing had always been cautious and did not dare to be too presumptuous.
The Human Emperor had passed away.
Then the situation that had been maintained before would no longer exist.
Before Qin Shujian could think for a long time, he raised his head and looked outside. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Su Mingyang's voice came from outside. "Sect Master Qin, I have something important to see you about."
Something important?
Qin Shujian could not help but connect the system prompt with what the other party wanted to say.
Could it be the news of the Human Emperor's death?
It had already spread!
While thinking, Qin Shujian directly stood up and opened the door. When he saw the anxious Su Mingyang, he immediately asked, "What happened? Why is Master Su so anxious?"
"The Human Emperor has passed away!" Su Mingyang's expression was extremely ugly as he said each word clearly.
"What!"
Qin Shujian was shocked as if he had just received the news.
He had already known.
There were some things that only he could receive the system prompt.
Then the news of the Human Emperor's death.
He should not have known in advance.
However …
What really shocked Qin Shujian was …
How long had he received the system's news? Now Su Mingyang had also received the news of the Human Emperor's death. If the other party did not have a system notification, then there must be some kind of extremely powerful communication method.
Seeing Qin Shujian's shocked expression, Su Mingyang did not care.
In his opinion …
No matter who received the news of the Human Emperor's death, they would not be able to remain calm.
Su Mingyang's expression was ugly as he said, "The news of the Human Emperor's death came from the Central State Prefecture, the Imperial Astronomer. This news can't be wrong."
"What's Lord Yan's plan?"
"Now that the news of the Human Emperor's death has spread, I'm afraid that the people of the various prefectures are already in turmoil. Things are not good!"
At this point …
Su Mingyang looked at Qin Shujian and said solemnly, "Sect Master Qin, now that the Human Emperor has passed away, I'm afraid the Demon Clan will no longer have any scruples. If the Thousand Mountains Prefecture was originally safe, it is no longer safe now."
Hearing this …
Qin Shujian also understood in his heart.
If the Demon Clan still had scruples in the previous assassination.
Then the Human Emperor's death …
The experts of the Demon Race would no longer have the slightest scruple.
He could block the assassination of a half-step Celestial Being.
Then what about the assassination of a Celestial Being?
With his current means, he could at most compare with a great cultivator who had just entered the Celestial Being Realm. If he faced an expert of the same level as Marquis Beiyun, he would be no match for him at all.
Thinking of this …
Qin Shujian asked, "Is there any news from Marquis Beiyun's side?"
"Not yet."
"Okay."
The two of them were speechless for a moment.
It was also at this moment that a guard came from afar, looked at the two of them, and bowed respectfully, "Grandmaster Qin, Master Su, Lord Yan invites you to the City Lord Mansion!"
"Okay!"
The two of them looked at each other and immediately rushed to the City Lord Mansion.
Yan Caizhe sent someone over at this time.
What exactly was it for?
The two of them were well aware of it.
Walking in Dingxiang City …
There was not much change.
After all, the news of the Human Emperor's death had only been spread among the upper class and had not been transmitted to the common people.
However …
Qin Shujian could see that the expressions of many players in Dingxiang City were not quite right. Coupled with the other party's identity, he could basically confirm that the players should have received a similar notification from the system.
In this case …
The moment the Human Emperor passed away …
It should have already spread throughout the entire Great Zhao!
At this moment, the common people at the bottom did not know, but he believed that it would not be long before the players spread the news by word of mouth. Everyone in the world would know the news of the Human Emperor's death.
When that time came …
That would be the truly troublesome thing.
In the City Lord Mansion …
The invisible solemn atmosphere made the people who entered feel depressed. The guards and servants who came and went did not dare to make the slightest mistake.
When he stepped into the City Lord Mansion …
Qin Shujian also felt a sense of depression in his heart, but it was quickly dispelled by the Divine Thought in his body.
"It seems that Yan Caizhe did not expect the Human Emperor's death."
A Celestial Being expert.
With a thought, he could cause the weather to change.
In this expedition against Gu Changqing, Yan Caizhe was the only Celestial Being expert on the surface.
Now the changes in the City Lord Mansion …
Qin Shujian did not need to think carefully to know that it was caused by Yan Caizhe.
Fortunately …
After the Spiritual God broke through three hundred feet, and with the special characteristics of God's Will, such changes could not shake his mind.
That's right.
With the God's Will, Qin Shujian now had some research.
This special characteristic …
It should be used in the Spiritual God.
It made it difficult for his Spiritual God to be shaken by other people's Divine Thought.
However …
The specific function had yet to be developed, and he still did not fully know.
As for Su Mingyang …
He was completely unaffected.
Although he was not a Celestial Being expert, he had reached the peak of the Divine Martial Arts Realm. Such emotional changes could not affect such an expert.
After the two of them entered the City Lord Mansion …
Then, he walked into the main hall with ease.
At this moment …
Except for Yan Caizhe …
All the generals who went on the expedition against Gu Changqing were gathered here.
Including Ming Jingshan, the Array Master, who had also arrived first.
As for the arrival of Qin Shujian and Su Mingyang, Yan Caizhe also glanced at them and said, "There's no need for formalities. Take a seat!"
To this …
Qin Shujian and Su Mingyang cupped their hands slightly and then found a seat to sit down.
When the two of them sat down …
The scene fell into silence.
Then …
Yan Caizhe stood up from the main seat and his eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces. There was no change in his emotions in his tone. "I believe everyone should be very clear about the news of the Human Emperor's death!"
As soon as he finished speaking …
Ming Jingshan cupped his hands and said, "Lord Yan, although the Human Emperor's lifespan was approaching its end, why did he die so quickly? There was no ominous news before this."
"That's right. The Human Emperor has always been in good health in recent years. Why did he suddenly die?"
When Ming Jingshan opened his mouth, the other generals immediately voiced their doubts.
Although the Human Emperor's lifespan was approaching its end …
His body was still strong and healthy.
There had never been any news of the Human Emperor being unwell before.
The sudden death of the Human Emperor.
It really caught everyone off guard.
Hearing this …
Yan Caizhe's expression was heavy as he said, "I heard that the Human Emperor went into seclusion this time to break through to a higher level. In the end, he failed and his lifespan was directly exhausted. He vomited blood and died on the spot.
This news came from the Imperial Astronomer. It can't be false. "
The Imperial Astronomer!
It was supported by the Human Emperor and was also the eyes and ears of the Human Emperor.
The news that spread here …
It couldn't be false.
Moreover …
Yan Caizhe also had factions behind him. The news that they sent was the same as the news that the Imperial Astronomer sent to the world. They all said that the Human Emperor had died.
Speaking of this …
His expression was heavy as he paused and continued, "Now that the Human Emperor has died, the Crown Prince has yet to be appointed. When the time comes, many princes will fight for the throne and there will be a storm of blood in the imperial city.
”
"More importantly …"
"Now that the Human Emperor has died, the Great Zhao will be in a precarious situation!"
