Palace, Dragon Ascension Hall!
The most furious person at this moment was the retired Holy Priest En Lin!
He had always been close to the Hidden Island. Previously, he could become the Holy Priest of the Raging Wave Kingdom largely due to the support of the Hidden Island.
Faced with the forceful ascension of Zhi Li this time, any Holy Priest with a brain would not get involved in this mess.
The Hidden Island had paid a huge price to invite En Lin.
En Lin thought that if worst came to worst, Zhi Li would be ousted soon after his ascension. Although this was a slap in the face, it would not hurt him at all.
However, he did not expect that Zhi Li actually had the blood of the devil.
This was really poking a hole in the sky.
Zhi Li was a dignified crown prince, a young prince who was about to ascend to the throne, but he actually had the blood of the devil.
Anti- Dragon power, anti- Dragon faith, this was a heinous crime!
At this moment, En Lin was not only about to lose his chastity, but also whether he could escape unscathed.
Where did the devil blood in Zhi Li come from? Of course, it was obtained by the Hidden Island from the laboratory in the Dragon Temple.
Once this case was opened, it would be a heinous crime. En Lin, a mere retired Holy Priest, would definitely be smashed to pieces!
When Fang Qingzhuo exposed him just now, if there were not many people around, of course, he could just kill her to silence her.
However, the hundreds of civil and military officials, nobles and dukes in the hall all saw it. The priests, judges, and Templars present also saw it.
It was already impossible to suppress it, so the most important thing for En Lin now was to silence her.
However, not only did he have to kill Fang Qingzhuo, he also had to kill Zhi Li!
As long as Zhi Li was killed, the Hidden Island would not be implicated, and there would not be a shocking case. En Lin's life could also be saved.
In short, Zhi Li's life must not be spared.
However, it was not good to kill him in front of so many people. After returning to Fengdu Holy Temple, he had to make Zhi Li commit suicide no matter what, or be killed by him!
"Men, take Zhi Li and his servants away." Holy Priest En Lin ordered.
Immediately, dozens of Templars stepped forward and were about to take away Zhi Li, Li Chenglian, and the others. Fang Qingzhuo was also among their targets.
"Madam, as a witness, please follow us back for the investigation," Priest En Lin said.
Fang Qingzhuo knew too much, and after she reported that Zhi Li had demon blood, she had already betrayed her family, so in order not to cause a huge case, it was reasonable to kill her.
"Wait!" Zhi Li said: "Holy Priest En Lin, I know what you are thinking, but please wait a moment, I want to see Søren one last time."
En Lin frowned.
Zhi Li repeated: "I will grant you your wish, but I want to see Søren one last time."
Holy Priest En Lin nodded.
Then, the entire hall waited for Søren's arrival.
…
Half an hour later, Søren and Princess Jung Yeon entered the Dragon Ascension Hall of the royal palace!
Hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as nobles and dukes, knelt on the ground.
Zhi Li sat on the throne, surrounded by dozens of Templars. Beside him, there was an old man with white hair and a beard, probably the retired Holy Priest En Lin.
Fang Qingzhuo, who was wearing a queen's robe, was still sitting on her throne, looking very calm, but in a daze.
Seeing Søren come in, Fang Qingzhuo asked: "How are Zhi Ning and the baby?"
Søren immediately bowed to Fang Qingzhuo and said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for saving my son's life, I will never be able to repay you! I have rescued Zhi Ning and the baby. "
"That's good, that's good …" Fang Qingzhuo sat back on her chair.
Then, Søren came in front of the king, knelt on both knees, and said: "Søren greets Your Majesty."
"Your daughter greets father." Princess Jung Yeon knelt before the king.
"Ugh, ha …" The king was very excited, desperately trying to speak, but no words came out, so he desperately stretched out his hands.
Søren and Jung Yeon hurried forward to hold the king's hands.
His hands were really all skin and bones, as fragile as withered twigs, and there was no warmth at all.
The change of the king was really the most difficult to live.
He was speechless, so he tried his best to laugh.
He held Søren's hands with all his strength, as if trying to express something.
He couldn't speak, so he desperately wanted to express his absolute trust and love for his nephew through his eyes.
Søren held the king's hands tightly and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to protect the Nie family's empire from being invaded by any forces. I will definitely continue to expand south, and let the Raging Wave Kingdom become the top overlord. I will definitely cleanse the country, and restore the kingdom to health! "
He didn't say anything like "I will definitely not usurp the throne", because it was meaningless. In the future, his and Jung Yeon's son would inherit the throne, how could he usurp his own son's throne?
After hearing Søren's words, the king was shocked and let go of his hands, trying to show a smile.
"Søren, come over and have a talk." Suddenly, Zhi Li shouted from the throne.
Søren patted the king's hands, then stood up and walked in front of Zhi Li. Princess Jung Yeon followed closely to ensure Søren's safety.
"I lost, completely lost!" Zhi Li spread his arms on the throne and said: "Where is Duke Turingtuo? Did he pledge his loyalty to you? "
"No, he committed suicide." Søren said: "But at the last moment, he would rather commit suicide to draw a clear line between you and him."
"What about the Southwest Legion's commander, Jian Ze?" Zhi Li asked.
Søren said: "He was too prideful, and wanted a mile after taking an inch. I killed him."
"Good kill." Zhi Li applauded: "Jian Ze wasn't very capable, but he was too arrogant. At that time, I really pinched my nose and stood in his courtyard for three days. At that time, I thought that one day, when I completely control the kingdom, I will definitely kill him to vent my anger. "
Then, Zhi Li asked: "What about Chu Ye?"
Søren said: "The Dragon Guards suffered heavy losses, so I let Count Chu Ye become the commander of the Dragon Guards and rebuild the Dragon Guards. After completing this task, he will enter the Supreme Command and become the first commander, relinquishing his position as the commander of the Dragon Guards. "
Zhi Li said: "Then who will be in charge of the Northern Legion and the Southwest Legion?"
Søren said: "My father-in-law, Sir Yan Yan, will be in charge of the Northern Legion, and Castellan Turingtuo will be in charge of the Southwest Legion."
"Not bad, not bad …" Zhi Li said.
Then, the two fell into an awkward silence.
Suddenly, Zhi Li said: "Actually, when it comes to politics, everyone knows how to do it. But knowing how to do it is one thing, and actually doing it is another. It's really difficult to insist on certain things. My life has been a tragedy. I've never been in control of my own fate, and I've never grasped real power. The only thing I can do is dance on the egg. Even if you didn't appear, and I successfully sat on the throne, I would only be a puppet for the rest of my life. "
Søren said no more.
This was because Zhi Li had spoken to him at the last moment because he wanted to vent in private. He didn't need someone to listen to him. But in his opinion, only Søren was qualified to listen to his final venting.
Zhi Li looked at his wife and sighed: "But I really didn't expect that it would be my wife who put me to death in the end. Perhaps, I really never understood this woman. "
Hearing Zhi Li mention herself, Fang Qingzhuo's beautiful face trembled, but she didn't say anything.
Feng Li said, "That foolish woman, perhaps she was still thinking that after reporting her husband, it would be equivalent to betraying her own clan, and that she herself would die without a doubt. Because she would be buried with me, she's still confident and confident, not feeling the slightest bit guilty."
Fang Qingzhuo's face was still expressionless.
Zhi Li continued: "But she still has two daughters to take care of. If she dies, who will take care of them? Will they be given to Zhi Ning? It's not impossible, but it's not as good as her own mother. So, do you have a way to save her life? She still has two daughters to take care of. "
Hearing this, Fang Qingzhuo finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Her delicate body trembled, and tears flowed down.
Søren thought for a while and said: "I'll try my best. You stay here for a while, someone will be here soon."
Then, the two of them fell into silence again.
After a long time, Zhi Li said: "I originally wanted to tell you to be careful of the King's change. He's the most dangerous old fox. But when I really failed, my mind gradually became clear, and I saw things from a different perspective, so I couldn't see the change clearly. But as a failure, it's important to warn the winner. Let me think. "
Søren shrugged and didn't say anything.
After a few minutes, Zhi Li said: "Be careful of the Dragon Temple. If there's one more, then be careful of Jung Yeon. She received the education of the Dragon Temple since she was young, and she's heartless. She didn't even move or shed a tear when she faced her dying father. The people of the Dragon Temple are all perverts."
At this moment, the door of the Dragon Arrival Hall was opened again.
The Saintess of the Temple of the Sky, Ji Soo-ning, led dozens of Templar Warriors into the hall.
When the retired Holy Priest En Lin saw Ji Soo-ning, his expression changed drastically. With this woman here, she could really poke a hole in the sky.
Saintess Ji Soo-ning walked up to En Lin and said: "The former Young Master of the Raging Wave Kingdom, Zhi Li, is involved in the anti- Dragon faith and anti- Dragon power, and is likely to cause the corruption of the upper echelons of the Dragon Temple. I want to take over the criminal."
If Holy Priest En Lin was a Holy Priest in the Fengdu Holy Temple, of course he could refuse Ji Soo-ning's request.
But now, he was just a retired Holy Priest, so of course he had no right to refuse Ji Soo-ning.
And once Zhi Li was taken away by Ji Soo-ning, what kind of monstrous case would it cause? Would he be implicated, or even be smashed to pieces?
En Lin really couldn't guarantee it.
Ji Soo-ning walked up to the dozens of Templar Warriors and said: "I am the Temple of the Sky's Ji Soo-ning, I officially take over your highest authority here."
The leader of the Templar Warriors hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes!"
Søren stepped forward: "Your Excellency, Madam Fang Qingzhuo exposed Zhi Li's demonic blood in order to protect Zhi Ning and her son. Can you protect her?"
Ji Soo-ning came in front of Fang Qingzhuo, her gaze became gentle, and she bowed: "Thank you, Madam. Your appearance made me not lose all hope in the people of the four secret continents. Please lead a good life with your two daughters. If there is anything I need, I will personally ask you. Please ignore any summons from the Dragon Temple. "
Fang Qingzhuo stood up and bowed: "Okay."
Ji Soo-ning made it very clear that unless she came personally, Fang Qingzhuo didn't need to pay attention to anyone. In other words, it was impossible for the Dragon Temple to kill Fang Qingzhuo.
This was equivalent to adding a protective talisman to Fang Qingzhuo.
Ji Soo-ning of course knew everything. She knew that someone in the Dragon Temple wanted to kill Zhi Li and Fang Qingzhuo.
Even though he was extremely disappointed in the Divine Dragon Temple and hated it to the core, Soran had to admit that Ji Xiuning's noble sentiments were indeed admirable. She really was the kind of Saintess who wholeheartedly served the public and the human kingdoms.
Søren also didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate for the Dragon Temple to have such a Saintess. Was it fortunate or unfortunate for the human kingdoms to have such a Saintess?
"Take Zhi Li and his servants away." Ji Soo-ning ordered.
Immediately, hundreds of Templars stepped forward and arrested Zhi Li, Li Chenglian, Li Zhu, and the others. As for whether they should be escorted to the Fengdu Holy Temple or directly to the Yanjing Temple, it was up to her.
After becoming a prisoner, Zhi Li was very calm. He smiled at Søren and Fang Qingzhuo, then was shackled by the Templars and escorted out of the Dragon Arrival Hall.
In just one day, he was reduced from a king to a prisoner.
At this moment, Fang Qingzhuo finally couldn't help but stand up. She chased after Zhi Li and rushed out again.
Facing Zhi Li, who was worse than a beast, the kind Fang Qingzhuo didn't feel any pressure.
But facing Zhi Li who had returned to his human nature, Fang Qingzhuo felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart.
Seeing this scene, Ji Soo-ning raised her hand and the entire procession stopped, giving Fang Qingzhuo and Zhi Li the last time to say their goodbyes.
Fang Qingzhuo walked in front of Zhi Li and looked at him with teary eyes.
"Take good care of your daughter." Zhi Li reached out to wipe away the tears on Fang Qingzhuo's face and said, "Whether it's the life of a puppet or a life of madness, it's a painful life. Now, I'm finally free, and there's nothing I can't let go of. You're the best mother, and our daughter will definitely receive the best care and protection. I'm not worried at all. "
Fang Qingzhuo nodded with tears in her eyes.
Zhi Li smiled and walked out.
Just like he said, whether it was a puppet or a life of madness, it was extremely painful.
However, once a person embarked on a path, there was no turning back. They could only walk it to the end.
Now that all hope was gone, he was actually free.
This wasn't a form of repentance. Whether it was Zhi Li or Tu Lingduo, they didn't repent for what they had done. They didn't even have the right to repent.
This was because the two of them had considered very clearly before they did some crazy things for their own selfish desires. They made their decisions only after careful consideration.
Therefore, they deserved it.
After all hope was destroyed and he had nothing left, Zhi Li was a man after all. He was broad-minded enough to return to some of his humanity.
For example, his most beloved wife and his most beloved daughter.
Just like that, Zhi Li went from a king to a prisoner and was taken away by Ji Soo-ning and a few hundred Templars. He would never have a chance to make a comeback in this life.
Perhaps, before he could reach the Yanjing Temple, he would either commit suicide or be killed!
…
At this moment, in the Dragon's Arrival Temple!
The eunuch Gao Yin glanced at the King's expression and gave him a questioning look.
The King nodded.
Gao Yin took out an imperial edict and opened it. This was probably the last imperial edict before the King changed. It concerned Jung Yeon and Søren's fate.
"By the Dragon's decree, the King says …"
