At this moment, the world seemed to have quieted down. Everyone looked at the disappearing figure in the sky. Sage Nakagawa, the Great Emperor, disappeared from everyone's sight just like that.
Jin Nakagawa stretched out his hand, wanting to grab something, but he grabbed nothing. For a moment, he seemed to be confused, not even knowing what to do.
In the distance, Hayashikawa's Tenseigan saw this scene clearly. He even saw the conversation between Sage Nakagawa and Jin Nakagawa's lips.
"He's a ruthless man!" Hayashikawa commented.
Knowing that he was going to die, he chose to commit suicide, allowing Sage Nakagawa to take the credit for killing the Emperor of the Nakagawa Empire. From this point alone, one could see that Sage Nakagawa was quite courageous.
"This Sage Nakagawa …" Bu Lian Shi appeared beside Hayashikawa, frowning, and hesitating to speak.
"He should also want to get rid of the curse in his bloodline, but he chose a different method." Hayashikawa whispered, "Of course, this is the choice we made after we forced him into a dead end. Otherwise, he would never be so merciful to Jin Nakagawa."
Being betrayed by his own son, the Crown Prince that he personally appointed, would probably drive anyone crazy in the face of such a situation.
However, Sage Nakagawa didn't. He knew that he was going to die, and the Nakagawa Empire was also in danger. Under such circumstances, Nakagawa's betrayal became a choice in his eyes.
After all, if they lost this battle, the Imperial Family of Nakagawa would most likely be wiped out from the world of self-cultivators. However, Jin Nakagawa, as the victor, would be able to live. To some extent, this could be considered as continuing the bloodline of the Imperial Family.
Perhaps it was humiliating, but one had to admit that Jin Nakagawa was indeed the last hope.
"Your Majesty!"
Screams of terror began to come from all directions. After the initial shock, everyone's expression changed. Many of the members of the royal family had turned ashen.
The Emperor of the Nakagawa Empire was dead, and he died at the hands of the Crown Prince. This news was like cutting the firewood from under the cauldron of the Nakagawa Empire's royal family members who were fighting. The blow was too great.
Although Sage Nakagawa's strength might not be the strongest in the Tribulation Passing Stage, his symbolic meaning was incomparable. Even the former Empress Nakagawa, Yao Guang, was unable to shake Sage Nakagawa's current position.
After all, Nakagawa's Yaoguang Empress had been glorious throughout history. But now, the one who controlled the entire Nakagawa Empire wasn't Yaoguang Empress, but Nakagawa Sage.
For a time, other than the war machines created by the Blood God Guards that were still constantly attacking, the other imperial cultivators had no time to fight.
The originally good situation took a sharp turn at this moment. The morale of the Nakagawa Empire was almost completely wiped out because of the death of Sage Nakagawa.
There were only a few cultivators who were shouting hysterically for revenge. Most of them were silent at this moment.
Even the Crown Prince had betrayed them. What was the point of fighting?
The building was about to collapse. Everything seemed to be developing towards an irreversible situation.
Prince Cheng and Sage Nakagawa, two Tribulation Passing Stage cultivators, were the symbols of the royal family. But in an instant, they had both died without any warning.
Whoosh!
Jin Nakagawa took a deep breath and retreated, avoiding the imperial cultivators who were charging towards him. He disappeared into the broken space. When he reappeared, he was already standing beside Hayashikawa.
"Blue Dragon's Envoy, I …" Jin Nakagawa wanted to say something, but he found that his mouth was dry and he couldn't speak.
"No need to say anything. I understand," Hayashikawa said softly.
"I've seen him rise, I've seen him entertain guests, and I've seen him collapse …"
"The Nakagawa Empire has already reached a point where they are strangers. Even without you, they would not be able to continue existing. On the contrary, your existence has given them the possibility to continue existing. Nakagawa Sage should have the same thoughts."
Hayashikawa said slowly.
"I understand." Jin Nakagawa nodded. He immediately remembered what Sage Nakagawa said before he died, so he said, "Blue Dragon's Envoy, there seems to be something wrong with the Peony Alchemist. You should be careful …"
Nakagawa reminded Nakagawa to be careful of the Peony Alchemist before he died. It was obvious that this person was very important to Sage Nakagawa. It was just that Sage Nakagawa didn't finish his words. Otherwise, they would have been more confident in dealing with the Peony Alchemist.
"Don't worry. The Peony Alchemist can't do anything," Hayashikawa said softly.
He still had many tricks up his sleeve. He was waiting for the royal family's real trump card.
Judging from Sage Nakagawa's last words, the trump card didn't seem to be in the royal family's hands. It was in the hands of the Peony Alchemist, and the Peony Alchemist's identity was very special.
"What do you think about the Peony Alchemist? Do you have any clues? "Bu Lianshi asked quietly.
"I have a few guesses, but I'm not sure. He might be involved in a lot of things," Hayashikawa said.
Chen Jue had already investigated the Peony Alchemist, but he didn't find anything substantial.
But that didn't mean that Hayashikawa didn't have his guard up against the Peony Alchemist. Hayashikawa was still able to follow some clues, but he couldn't be sure.
That was why he hadn't gone all out. He only had one chance, and this time, he had to save it for the biggest threat.
For now, that threat was most likely the Peony Alchemist.
"My kingdom will never be overturned!"
At that moment, a majestic voice spread throughout the capital. Along with the spread of pale golden light, Nakagawa Yaoguang finally stepped forward.
As the former Yaoguang Empress, she was the most qualified person to speak up.
The enemy was strong, but they weren't scary. What was scary was that they were disorganized and without a leader.
Although the Nakagawa Empire was at a disadvantage, it wasn't as if they couldn't fight back. As long as someone stepped forward and restored the confidence of the Nakagawa Empire's cultivators, it was hard to say who would have the last laugh.
With Nakagawa Yaoguang's voice and the endless pressure that filled the air, many cultivators in the capital finally regained their confidence.
In the crowd, the Peony Alchemist's eyes fell on Hayashikawa.
"He's buried so many tricks in the royal family. It seems that the world of immortals has fallen into his hands." The Peony Alchemist's expression was uncertain.
He didn't expect the royal family to be at a disadvantage so quickly, and he didn't expect them to be so weak.
At that moment, he couldn't back down.
If he went forward, he'd have to use everything he had and fight to the death with Hayashikawa.
If he retreated, he might choose to submit to Hayashikawa and become an existence second only to him.
Should he go forward or should he retreat? That was the question!
