"This …" The leading general was clearly hesitant.
Just then, a wolf's howl was heard. The next instant, the weather changed. Strong winds blew and dark clouds gathered. The entire royal capital's temperature seemed to have dropped a little.
The sudden change in weather was clearly not natural. In the past, only the jade dragon beast in the Jade Dragon Temple could do something like this.
The leading general was also Emperor He Qian's trusted aide. As a trusted aide, he was privy to many things.
For example, he knew that today might be the day the fate of Jade Dragon Kingdom would be decided. He also knew that the old dragon in the temple might be dead.
But if that was the case, why would the weather change?
Could it be that the old dragon wasn't dead yet?
At the thought of this, fear welled up in his heart. If the old dragon wasn't dead, then things would be troublesome. The emperor had obviously betrayed the jade dragon deity. If the old dragon didn't die in the hands of the curator, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In fact, it wasn't just this general. Everyone in the royal capital was panicking at the sudden change in weather. The one who was the most shaken was obviously Emperor He Qian.
He was currently sitting in the palace, looking up at the stormy sky with a grave expression.
"Yu'er's curse has been broken. Logically speaking, the jade dragon deity should be dead. So why would the weather change?"
He Qian mumbled to himself.
He knew that this ability to stir up the weather was the jade dragon deity's unique skill. In the past, whenever He Qian angered the other party, the jade dragon deity would do the same. He Qian had had enough of this.
The entire He family had been under the jade dragon deity's control for so many years. He Qian had had enough of it. Hence, he decided to use the curator to destroy the jade dragon deity.
Of course, doing this was a risk. It was a gamble. If the curator failed, the jade dragon deity would surely hold He Qian accountable for his betrayal.
He Qian had given this matter careful thought.
However, based on the curator's abilities and tricks, He Qian felt that the risk was worth taking. If everything went according to plan, the one who helped He Qing's Rank 2 tetrawinged butterfly dragon evolve to Rank 3 was the curator.
He Qian had investigated this before. Also, he knew about Lin Jin's growth. Lin Jin's sudden rise to power was nothing out of the ordinary.
This wasn't normal at any point in time.
However, if Lin Jin had an important figure like the Curator backing him up, his rise to power was nothing out of the ordinary.
Other than that, the incident with Snake Country showed He Qian the Curator's terrifying ability to mobilize people. Be it Black Crow or Madam Ghost Child, neither of them could be ordered around by an intermediate country. In fact, even a major country couldn't order these villainous experts around.
But the curator could do it.
This was fundamentally different from Minister Yu's method of spending some money to hire experts of the evil path. Spending money to hire experts of the evil path to kill a few people was fine, but asking them to fight a war with another intermediate kingdom was something that no evil path expert would listen to.
From this point alone, one could tell that the Curator was no small fry.
Especially the last time, the jade dragon deity seemed to have suffered a little at the hands of the curator, which prompted He Qian to make up his mind to take control of the situation in the royal city at a critical moment.
On the imperial court's side, not only did Minister Yu side with the jade dragon deity, but many of the officials also obeyed the jade dragon deity's orders. This time, He Qian used Minister Yu's death to gain control of this group of people.
He Qian could control these conflicts but he couldn't do anything about the jade dragon deity.
There was no doubt that the sixth princess, He Yu, had broken the curse in her body. Moreover, He Qian's pet beast, a Rank 4 jade dragon, was also visibly agitated. This meant that the jade dragon deity had been slain.
So what was going on with this sudden change in weather?
He Qian finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He immediately called for his men. He wanted to head over to the temple to investigate.
Meanwhile, over at the temple, the one stirring up the storm wasn't the jade dragon deity but Xiao Huo who had obtained the Yin Yang Dharma body. Xiao Huo's roar earlier was just a casual action. He didn't expect it to stir up a storm.
Even Xiao Huo was shocked.
Having just obtained the jade dragon deity's power, Xiao Huo was clearly not used to it yet.
Not to mention it, even Hei Ya and the others were dumbfounded. This Yin Yang Celestial Body was indeed extraordinary. A simple roar could actually stir up the wind and clouds.
This was too much.
Just then, the general came to his senses and quickly said, "It's a pity that Curator isn't here. Everyone, if you have time, feel free to visit the palace."
Just as Black Crow was about to decline, Evil Scholar held him back and said, "General, please wait for a moment."
Seeing a door open, the general was overjoyed and quickly retreated.
Now, he could see clearly that this group of people could not be stopped by force at all, so he immediately changed his strategy. Moreover, when he came, His Majesty the Emperor had also told him not to threaten them, but to be amiable. Even if they wanted to leave, he could not force them to stay.
The surrounding soldiers retreated as well, leaving only a few behind to guard the area.
Black Crow and the others were confused. Evil Scholar said, "Curator didn't say he wouldn't be back. Maybe something came up at the last minute. It's not good for us to just leave. Why don't we wait here in the royal capital? Curator will return sooner or later."
At this, the others agreed that this was the best option.
Also, they couldn't leave. After all, the fire wolf and white ape were here while Curator and Lin Jin weren't. They had to look after them.
At this time, Emperor He Qian also hurried over.
First, he glanced at the temple.
Seeing that there was no longer any Dragon Energy left, he knew the jade dragon deity was dead.
This made the stone in his heart fall to the ground.
After years of humiliation, the royal He family could finally make a comeback. They would no longer be oppressed by the jade dragon deity and would no longer need to use the women of the family to prolong his life.
"Your Majesty, just now …" The general reported the situation in detail. He Qian was stunned.
He heard that it was a fire wolf that had stirred up the wind and clouds earlier.
Since when did a fire wolf have such supernatural powers?
He Qian stepped forward and the general immediately shouted, "Jade Dragon Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
The Jade Dragon Emperor had arrived.
Black Crow and the others looked over. As villainous experts, they didn't care about the so-called royal authority. Since they all had Rank 4 pet beasts, they had nothing to fear.
However, they still had to be courteous, especially when the other party had taken the initiative to greet them.
"I, He Qian, have long heard of your names." He Qian didn't seem any less intimidating, but he was now more approachable. He didn't lose the dignity of a royal family, but he still gave others the impression that he was an equal.
Speaking of which, it wasn't easy for him to achieve this.
He greeted them with a smile and was courteous. Even villainous experts couldn't keep a straight face at a time like this.
Moreover, Black Crow and the others weren't sure what Curator's attitude toward this Jade Dragon Emperor was, so it was better to be polite. More importantly, even if they didn't want to give this emperor face, they had to show He Qing some respect.
