Everyone in this Sword Heart Tomb needs to eat; all we need to do is keep us trapped for a while…
"But the Sword Heart Tomb is so big, and there are all kinds of herbs to gather, so it should be able to be self-sufficient in food."
They can't stay outside forever; we can also send out a request for help.
Although Li Suwang found these words reasonable, he still appeared worried.
"You're right. I'll find a way to resolve these issues. You should focus on treating him."
Li Suwang left again. He knew very well that this matter was definitely not that simple.
An organization that dares to hunt down Lan Yuehou must have a huge conspiracy behind it. And now, there may be others being targeted and assassinated as well.
Li Suwang looked up at the sky, where white clouds drifted like sheep, but he felt no sense of peace.
He was a little worried about his grandson.
After all, Lei Wujie was too close to that Prince Yong'an.
If Marquis Lanyue could be hunted down, then the possibility of Prince Yong'an being assassinated cannot be ruled out.
"The world is destined to descend into chaos, and I, Jianxinzu, must make some preparations."
Three or four more days passed before Marquis Lanyue finally woke up.
The first words spoken upon opening his eyes left Hua Jin and Li Suwang speechless and at a loss for words.
"Quickly, send a message to Emperor Tianqi: someone is trying to assassinate my brother, and there is an inside agent in the palace."
This statement has no prior cause or reason, yet it possesses a powerful and moving force.
Assassinating the emperor is an absolutely momentous event.
"My lord, please don't be hasty. Tell me carefully, how did you find out about this?"
Lan Yuehou struggled to get out of bed, but was scolded by Hua Jin: "If you want to die, then move. I can't save you again if you do it again."
Li Suwang also chimed in, "Yes, my lord, things are already like this, so what's the harm in making a little more time? When did you find out about this?"
After calming himself down, Lan Yuehou recounted his journey in detail.
"In short, I learned from someone that they want to overthrow Beili, and that they have been planning this for a long time, and now the time is ripe."
During the pursuit, Lan Yuehou killed several people and finally managed to capture one alive, extracting some information from him.
These messages terrified him.
This time, the organization called Baiyujing not only targeted him, but also attempted to assassinate the emperor, aiming to plunge the world into chaos.
Hua Jin said, "It's been almost a month since you received the news. If they had really succeeded, there would have been a lot of news about them."
The emperor is not short of people to protect him, so the fact that there has been no news of him is good news.
"Just focus on recovering. Worrying won't help."
Marquis Lanyue was burning with worry, but he had no choice but to obey Hua Jin's words.
After all, his body is now in a state of disrepair, and his foundation may have been damaged. In his current condition, he may die on the way back to Tianqi.
Tianqi, the Red King's Palace.
The Crimson King Xiao Yu was furious: "How dare you! Who gave you permission to poison my father?"
Do you know what the consequences will be if this is found out?
Everything we've done now will be for nothing!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I scraped my fingernails with a knife and blew on them.
"What? Is Your Highness suddenly starting to care about father-son ties?"
Chapter 187 I'd Rather Betray the World
Xiao Yu naturally didn't care about these things.
In fact, what Bai Yujing and his group have been doing recently has been quite to his liking.
Those who aspire to great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters.
Bai Yujing and his gang were a bunch of lawless lunatics.
Xiao Yu even felt that compared to this, the forces he used to have were simply a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Those people have too many concerns: this can't be done, that doesn't conform to the greater good.
Bai Yujing, on the other hand, thought things through very comprehensively.
They used coercion, bribery, murder, and intimidation against the ministers who were loyal to the White King, and now many people in the court have sided with the Red King.
The people of Baiyujing are incredibly pervasive; no one knows how many masters they have accumulated under their command over the years.
Besides dealing with the White King, the Yong'an King, who was wandering outside, was also not forgotten.
The plan targeting Snowmoon City has been launched and has achieved tremendous results.
They even uncovered Snowmoon City's plans over the years.
During this period, there has been constant conflict in the martial arts world, with people bleeding and losing their lives every day.
This storm swept across almost the entire martial arts world.
Xiao Yu was full of vigor and ambition, believing that those who obeyed him would prosper and those who opposed him would perish. In a short time, countless forces in the martial arts world flocked to him.
Xiao Yu's strength has expanded to an unprecedented level.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
Before long, he will be able to control the entire martial arts world and the entire Tianqi City.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the people of Baiyujing actually turned against the emperor.
"You should know that I don't care about these things."
From childhood to adulthood, I have always been the one who has been let down and ignored.
I have no relatives in the imperial family, I, the king, will rule the world!
"Let no one in this world be able to ignore me anymore; I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me!"
Upon hearing these words on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she giggled and, like a beautiful snake, slid into his arms, cupped his face, and kissed him.
"That's why we chose you, Your Highness."
In our view, only a prince is worthy of being the overlord of this world.
Your Highness, we know what you're worried about; you simply feel the timing isn't right yet.
But Your Highness, we are currently restraining the White King, Wushuang City, and Xueyue City.
This is the best time.
I fear that things might change if I delay, Your Highness. Those who achieve great things should act decisively and swiftly.
We have received word that the Prince of Yong'an is preparing to return to Tianqi City.
Your Highness can imagine that when he returns, he will find that you are now the emperor, high above all others.
What kind of expression would he have?
But don't worry, the poison we gave your father is a slow-acting one; it won't kill him immediately.
I just wanted him to lie down and not pay attention to what was happening in the court.
Otherwise, given your father's methods, he might very well interfere and ruin your grand plan, Your Highness.
The statement about the first day of the Lunar New Year was not meant to deceive Xiao Yu.
Bai Yujing's advantage lies in its secrecy; it appears suddenly and sweeps across the entire martial arts world in a short period of time.
If forces like Wushuang City and Xueyue City were to recover, Baiyujing's situation would likely become very difficult.
The original plan was not to rush things, but Zhou Zhenhuan just happened to appear.
That damned Taoist priest killed all the immortals they had summoned down from heaven to Baiyujing. They no longer have the ability to open a passage to summon a second one.
If they wait until they realize what's happening, and all the high-level experts unite as one, even though Baiyujing has many experts in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, including several who are at the Half-Step Divine Travel stage, their fate will probably not be good.
What's even more frustrating is that you never know when that carefree immortal will suddenly appear and give you a good beating.
The problem is that no one in the world can catch him with that casual move.
That's why that stinky Taoist priest surnamed Zhou had no interest in caring about who would become the ruler of the world.
Otherwise, Bai Yujing would need to remain in hiding.
Now they understand to some extent that as long as they don't provoke the people from Qingcheng Mountain, this person won't pay any attention to them.
It's like walking on the side of the road; you wouldn't intentionally step on a few ants.
The people of Baiyujing felt they had figured out that person's temperament.
However, there is one more thing: Yong'an King Xiao Chuhe, who is, after all, also a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain.
To prevent that man surnamed Zhou from going mad, this person cannot be killed.
Therefore, Bai Yujing's forces must avoid a direct confrontation with Xiao Chuhe.
Therefore, they were anxious to settle everything before Xiao Chuhe returned to Tianqi City.
As for why he would assist Xiao Yu, it's because he also possesses royal fortune.
Furthermore, given Xiao Yu's character, he would never cherish the common people and would treat them like cattle and horses to be driven around.
What Baiyujing lacks is population.
Once Xiao Yu becomes emperor, with the full power of the nation, he will surely be able to establish a connection with the heavens. At that time, he will not care if these people are sent to the heavens as slaves.
They strongly support Xiao Yu precisely because they admire his character.
It's not easy to find an emperor who can be used as a tool.
As for having one of their own people become emperor, the people of Baiyujing never even considered it.
The phrase "receiving the mandate of Heaven" is not just a casual remark. Each dynasty has its own destiny, and the Northern Li dynasty is currently enjoying continuous good fortune. Under the rule of Emperor Mingde, the country is peaceful and prosperous, and its destiny is at its peak.
At this point, if they try to usurp the throne, they will likely face divine retribution.
Of course, even without divine retribution, the man surnamed Zhou couldn't possibly watch the world change its surname, since his disciple also had the surname Xiao.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he patiently analyzed the situation of the world, breaking it down in detail, and fed it to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu then realized that no one in the world could stop him from ascending to the throne.
"Now there's another problem."
There was a hint of melancholy on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The Crimson King hooked her chin and took a bite: "You mean the Imperial Advisor?"
"Indeed, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, a contemporary immortal, is not so easy to deal with."
Moreover, according to our investigation, this supervisor holds the keys to both the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven.
But inside that top-tier building in the world, there was great terror.
We suspect that the Imperial Advisor Qi Tianchen can utilize the power within.
"That old man is indeed a problem."
What do you want me to do?
"We hope that Your Highness can try your luck at the number one restaurant in the world."
You are a prince, and the First Pavilion Under Heaven was established by your founding emperor, Xiao Yi. You should also have blood ties with your descendants.
If you can obtain the items inside the No. 1 Pavilion in the world, you will then be the rightful ruler of the country, and no one can say anything about it.
Even if your father objects, it won't matter.
Xiao Yu was somewhat tempted. He naturally knew about the Number One Pavilion in the World, but he had never entered it before.
His martial arts talent was actually not bad; he just preferred power politics.
What's inside the world's number one restaurant?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he said with a focused mind, "If our information is correct, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, which ranks first in the Famous Swords Ranking, is hidden in the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven. Moreover, if you can reach the top, you will instantly become an immortal and enter the divine realm that millions of people yearn for but cannot attain."
