In the palace of the Minor Saint Empire.
The current emperor, Zhao Ze, was already old. When he heard that Zhao Gou had launched a coup to seize his throne, Zhao Ze was furious. He didn't expect his son to be so crazy.
"Kill!"
A loud battle cry came from outside the palace. A eunuch came to report in a panic.
"Your Majesty, the two princes have already led their troops outside the palace. What should we do now?"
"Unfilial son, unfilial son, I am not dead yet, how dare they …" Zhao Ze's face was red as he staggered out of the palace with the help of the eunuch.
In the palace.
Zhao Gou's face was cold as he led thousands of soldiers to confront his brother Zhao Xun. However, Zhao Xun had ten thousand soldiers behind him, so he obviously had a great advantage in numbers.
"Second Brother, I really didn't expect that you would be so stupid. Where did you get the courage to start a mutiny with just a few thousand soldiers?" Zhao Xun mocked, looking at Zhao Gou as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Haha."
Zhao Gou laughed wildly. There was no fear in his eyes. He said, "Big brother, if I were you, I would surrender now. That way, I can still keep my life."
Zhao Xun knew his brother very well. If he didn't have some confidence, his brother wouldn't have launched a coup so recklessly. Obviously, he had a great trump card in his hand.
Although he was a little afraid of Zhao Gou, Zhao Xun also had his own trump card. He looked at Zhao Gou with a hint of mockery.
"All of you, stop!"
Suddenly, when the two princes were confronting each other, the emperor of the Minor Saint Empire, Zhao Ze, staggered out with the help of the eunuchs. This made the two princes' expressions change slightly, but neither of them spoke first.
"Unfilial son, I am not dead yet. How dare you do such a disgraceful thing?" Zhao Ze shouted at the two of them angrily.
"Father, it was second brother who launched a coup to seize your throne. How dare I do such a disgraceful thing?" Zhao Xun bowed to his father.
"Gou 'er, is what your brother said true?" Zhao Ze asked Zhao Gou with a livid face.
"Imperial Father, you are already old, and it is time for you to abdicate. If you had passed the throne to me earlier, how could today's events have occurred?" Zhao Gou said bluntly.
"Unfilial son!" After receiving Zhao Gou's reply, Zhao Ze angrily roared. It was obvious that he was greatly angered by Zhao Gou.
"Imperial Father, there is no need to be angry. Once I capture Second Brother, I will hand him over to Imperial Father for punishment."
Zhao Xun stepped forward and waved his hand, causing 10,000 soldiers to surround Zhao Gou and the others. They looked at Zhao Gou with mocking expressions.
"Second Brother, it doesn't matter what trump card you have that allowed you to launch a mutiny. Today, you will definitely die."
Zhao Xun sneered in disdain. He turned around and looked at an old man in green. He bowed and said, "Immortal Master Lin, you have made your move."
"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities."
The old man was holding a horsetail whisk and was surrounded by spirit force. He was a Transcending Tribulation cultivator. When Zhao Gou saw this person, his expression changed slightly.
"Ancient Cloud Sect's Lin Tianhe?" Zhao Gou cried out in shock.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Sovereign."
Lin Tianhe bowed and said, "It seems that Your Highness knows me. In this case, Your Highness, please allow yourself to be captured so that I don't have to do it myself."
"Second Brother, you didn't expect this, did you? Immortal Master Lin has already been conferred the title of Immortal Protector of the Small Holy Empire. It's not too late for you to surrender now." Zhao Xun sneered, his eyes filled with confidence.
At this moment, Zhao Gou's expression was very ugly. He really didn't expect that his Big Brother could invite Lin Tianhe. This made him feel extremely vexed.
All of a sudden.
A slender figure appeared in front of Zhao Gou. With the appearance of this person, heaven and earth became extremely stagnant. An unimaginable fluctuation spread between heaven and earth.
"Senior!" When he saw the person beside him, Zhao Gou was overjoyed and bowed to Ye Xuan.
"This … this fellow Taoist is …?"
Ye Xuan's appearance also stunned Lin Tianhe. His eyes froze and an indescribable sense of horror rose from the bottom of his heart. It was as if he wasn't facing a human at all, but an unimaginably terrifying Immortal.
Immortal?
Yes, an Immortal. Lin Tianhe was an Immortal Cultivator in the Tribulation Stage. He had seen Immortals before. Although he couldn't see Ye Xuan's cultivation, he was very sure that Ye Xuan was definitely an Immortal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given him such a terrifying sense of oppression.
The most important thing was that the appearance of the black-robed young man in front of him gave him a very familiar feeling. He seemed to have seen this person somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where at the moment.
"This person is …?"
Lin Tianhe's body was drenched in cold sweat. He kept trying to recall something. After a few seconds, a light flashed across his mind as if he had remembered something.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, Lin Tianhe sucked in a breath of cold air. His body trembled at this moment and his ruddy face turned pale. He finally remembered where he had seen this appearance before.
The East Pole Emperor?
Wasn't this the East Pole Emperor's appearance?
It was in the Guyun Sect. When the Celestial Court issued the imperial jade slip, the East Pole Emperor's appearance was drawn on the jade slip. The Celestial Court had even ordered all the sects in the mortal world to report to the Celestial Court immediately if anyone discovered the East Pole Emperor's corpse.
However, Lin Tianhe had never thought that the East Pole Emperor had died at the hands of Perfected Yu Ding.
Why had he appeared before him, alive and well?
Lin Tianhe didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to ask. However, he was already drenched in cold sweat. He tried his best to suppress his panic and pretend that he didn't know Ye Xuan.
This was because Lin Tianhe was no fool. Since the East Pole Emperor was still alive and was hiding in the palace, he didn't want anyone to know his identity. If the East Pole Emperor discovered that Lin Tianhe had seen through his identity, Lin Tianhe would definitely die a tragic death.
"Your Highness, the matters of the mortal world have nothing to do with this humble Daoist. This humble Daoist is powerless to help. Farewell."
Lin Tianhe didn't dare to look at Ye Xuan at all. He did his best to pretend to be calm and bowed before slowly walking out of the palace.
This scene caused Zhao Xun's face to be stunned, and he only recovered from his shock after a few breaths of time. However, before he could speak to persuade them to stay, an indifferent and emotionless voice slowly resounded.
"Since you've come, there's no need to leave."
Weng!
Heaven and earth were sealed and space froze. Before Lin Tianhe could leave the palace, the entire place had been sealed. Lin Tianhe's face turned ghastly pale. He knew that the East Pole Emperor had seen through him.
"Your Highness, please spare me. I'm only passing by. I would never dare to spread your news." Lin Tianhe's body trembled. He no longer dared to put on an act. He directly knelt on the ground and begged Ye Xuan tearfully.
