This period of time was like a surging storm for the Imperial Capital. The rapid changes had dazzled the people's eyes. They felt like they were looking at flowers in the fog. They couldn't understand what was happening.
First, the Fourth Prince had been beheaded. Then, the Twenty-third Prince had risen to power. Then, the Eldest Prince had suddenly rebelled. He had led his troops into the Imperial Palace. However, he had been suppressed by the Great Sage Realm's Old Ancestor.
It didn't matter how powerful the Eldest Prince had been. However, he had still been suppressed by the Great Sage Realm's Old Ancestor. He hadn't even been able to cause a ripple. He had been completely suppressed.
Immediately after, the First Prince's bloodline was massacred. This also showed the attitude of this ancestor, who many people might have forgotten, in maintaining the stability of the Empire. It was one thing for the princes to fight each other, but if they dared to kill their way into the Imperial Palace with weapons in hand, they would be sentenced to death.
The entire Imperial Capital had been shaken. Many forces had become well-behaved. In particular, many forces had wanted to stir up trouble by taking advantage of the fact that many princes were fighting for the throne. They had become well-behaved. After all, nobody wanted to bear the wrath of the Great Sage.
The Twenty-third Prince's faction was in a state of panic in the Twenty-third Prince's mansion. The Great Sage, the founder of the Empire, had paid a heavy price. So, all the forces had restrained their actions … regardless of whether they had ambitions or not.
The Twenty-third Prince's faction was no exception. They had been warned not to go out and stir up trouble. After all, any little problem at this time could trigger the Great Sage's dissatisfaction.
The long-accumulated affairs of the state had also been quickly dealt with with the return of the Great Sage. This Great Sage was worthy of being called the Founding Emperor. Many accumulated affairs had also been dealt with at a rapid speed. And, the Empire had also returned to the right track.
Everyone understood one thing. Any military operation had become fleeting with the return of this Great Sage. The experts of those princes were strong. But, could they contend against the Great Sage?
In the hands of this Great Sage, many ambitious princes were just like tender chicks. After all, this was the Wei Wu who had founded the Wei Kingdom during the chaotic times. Compared to him, these princes were ridiculously tender.
Everyone understood that whether or not they could ascend to the throne now was no longer dependent on the power of their subordinates, but on the favor of Emperor Wu of Wei. Without his support, it would be useless even if a few princes killed each other. Even if all of them died, he might not feel heartache. He could casually choose another one from the side branches of the royal family. Anyway, they were all his descendants. To those courtiers, there might be a difference of closeness and estrangement, but to him, they were all his sons and grandsons. There was no difference between closeness and estrangement.
For the entire Great Wei State, as long as Emperor Wu of Wei didn't die, then the Great Wei State would be as stable as Mount Tai. But, if he died, then perhaps the entire Great Wei Kingdom would fall apart.
Just like the old head of Yi Yuan School, many people thought that he had already passed away. However, they didn't expect that he would use a secret technique to prolong his life, and survive until today. This was a big sacrifice. The secret technique to prolong one's life was undoubtedly extremely painful. Once it was used, it would be a torture day and night. One couldn't do it without a stone-like perseverance, just for the sake of fighting for Yi Yuan School one day.
He was a senior expert who truly made people admire him. His elegant demeanor was peerless. Even in his last battle, his glory was enough to be written in the annals of Yi Yuan School's history.
He had risen in the most difficult phase of Yi Yuan School. His seniors, masters, and senior brothers had died in dangerous situations. Yi Yuan School was on the verge of collapse. But, he had resolutely stood up, and had helped Yi Yuan School from its imminent collapse. He had fought for hundreds of years, and he had killed his way into the Yi Yuan School's prestige. He had pacified the Yi Yuan School's crisis.
He had been fighting for Yi Yuan School all his life. Even if he had finally passed away in a battle for Yi Yuan School, even his enemies wouldn't dare to disrespect him.
Perhaps, death was also a kind of relief for him.
Even if Ye Xiwen's current strength had already surpassed that of the old head of Yi Yuan School, but, he still had respect for him!
Everything had become simple for many people of the Great Wei State with the return of the Wei State's Martial Emperor. In the past, everything had been covered with layers of bloody fog. It was unknown how many battles they would have to go through in order to see the results. However, everything was decided by the Wei State's Martial Emperor now. So, they could experience less turmoil.
However, this was a big problem for Ye Xiwen. The intervention of a Great Sage expert had rendered him useless all of a sudden. He would've started to fight for the throne after the Old Emperor had stopped breathing if he had followed his original strategy. And, the Twenty-third Prince's ascension to the throne would've been justified as long as he had beheaded those princes.
However, who would still care about the life or death of the Old Emperor now? It didn't matter whether he was dead or alive. The key was the attitude of the Wei State's Martial Emperor. It would've been fine if he supported the Twenty-third Prince. But, what would he do if he didn't support him?
Ye Xiwen also felt somewhat crazy in the face of this situation. He even had the idea of asking the Northern Dipper Sect to send another Great Sage expert. The Northern Dipper Sect didn't have many members. However, there were many Great Sage experts among the outer disciples. After all, the official members were top-notch heaven's pride experts. They would at least have the cultivation of the Great Sage Accomplished realm if they didn't encounter any calamities in the future. However, the outer disciples were also geniuses.
"There's nothing we can do if it comes to that!" the Wood Dragon's voice droned through the mask. The Wood Dragon's voice droned through the mask. Ye Xiwen's presence hadn't been a problem before. But, it was useless now. The name 'Great Sage expert' was enough to represent everything. A Great Sage expert was considered to be the pinnacle fighting force in many big worlds. They were the mainstay of a force.
He didn't want the other people of the Northern Dipper Sect to get involved. After all, he wanted to manage this Great Wei State as his own nest. The so-called practice was to cultivate one's skills and wealth. He, Ye Xiwen, and Qing Xu didn't have the idea of establishing a force on their own. So, supporting a force was the best method. They only needed to harvest the wealth regularly.
However, there was no other way if it came to that point. Anyway, it was better than failing the mission.
The Wood Dragon couldn't help but support his forehead. He was very depressed. [This is really unexpected.]
"The Twenty-third Prince has also entered the palace now. So, we'll know what the rules are when the time comes!" Ye Xiwen leaned against a big tree and said. The corner of his clothes was raised by the breeze.
He wasn't willing to recruit people. He had the same idea as the Wood Dragon. But, he had also considered that the Meteor Sect's attention would've been attracted if he had recruited people and killed the Martial Emperor of the Wei State. It wouldn't be a big deal if a sage expert died. After all, sage experts weren't as numerous as the carps in the river in the Meteor Sect. However, they weren't that important. However, it would be strange if the Meteor Sect wouldn't investigate the matter to the end if a Great Sage expert died.
This was also the reason why this mission had been given to the Wood Dragon and Ye Xiwen. Otherwise, many people would've been willing to accept such a good errand. There wouldn't have been a need to go through so much trouble if it had been a Great Sage expert. Moreover, there wouldn't have been a need to make thousands of calculations and schemes like Ye Xiwen. He would've killed whoever didn't agree with him.
The Twenty-third Prince had been summoned to the palace by the Martial Emperor of the Wei State early in the morning. The princes who were competing for the throne had also accompanied him. It seemed that the Martial Emperor of the Wei State had decided to lay all his cards on the table. He wasn't interested in getting entangled in this secular matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up the throne, and escaped into the Meteor Sect.
Ye Xiwen didn't accompany the Twenty-third Prince. First, who would dare to assassinate a prince under the nose of the Martial Emperor of the Wei State at this critical juncture? Therefore, his safety was guaranteed. Moreover, he was afraid that the Martial Emperor of the Wei State might get angry and kill him at that time. Who would he cry to then?
"We'll withdraw first if there's a problem. Dammit! The report didn't say that there would be a Great Sage expert!" the Wood Dragon complained.
"The affairs of the world are unpredictable. We can only deal with them as we see them!" Ye Xiwen arrived.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard. Both of them looked towards the door. It must be known that both of them had a venerated status in the Prince's Mansion. An ordinary person wouldn't dare to approach their courtyard.
A middle-aged servant arrived in front of both of them after a while. He saluted and said, "Honorable Consecrators, someone is looking for Honorable Consecrator Long outside!"
Ye Xiwen recognized him. He was the trusted subordinate of the Twenty-third Prince. He was also an inner servant of the Prince's Mansion. It was said that he had followed the Twenty-third Prince for many years. He had luckily escaped from the Fourth Prince's purge last time. Then, he had returned to the Prince's Mansion, and had taken charge of the internal affairs of the Prince's Mansion.
He didn't dare to be rude towards these two Lords. He also had martial arts, and he had the strength of legendary level. However, he also understood that these two Lords could poke him to death with just a finger. Moreover, these two Lords were directly related to whether his Lord could ascend to the throne or not. And, he could also become a key figure in the position of the Chief Minister of the Inner Palace.
"Looking for me? Who is it? "Ye Xiwen asked. The Prince's Mansion had always called these two Consecrators' Flood Dragon 'to distinguish them.
"It's President Jiang of the Great Wei Empire's Alchemist Association!" the Chief Minister of the Inner Palace replied respectfully.
"What has he come here for?" Ye Xiwen frowned. He obviously knew what this Alchemist Association of the Great Wei Empire was for.
It was a huge organization of alchemists in the entire Great Wei Empire. Its influence was spread throughout the entire Great Wei Empire. The majority of its members were alchemists. They were very outstanding. Their network of relationships was very complicated. The Twenty-third Prince had wanted to win over this force in the past. Therefore, he had some understanding of it.
And, this President Jiang was the President of this Alchemist Association. He was a very influential person in the entire Great Wei Empire. Nobody dared to underestimate the power of this Alchemist Association. Many people had received benefits from this Alchemist Association.
However, he hadn't had enough time to make the Twenty-third Prince rope him in. And, he had delivered himself to his door.
However, he had come here. So, he would go and meet him!
