  Rock

  Yun Luofeng sent a final glance to Princess Qingshuang before turning around and leaving the main hall. She did not notice the pair of foreboding eyes unwaveringly watching her from the corner……

  “Qing Mu, that bastard! When he left the Tianhui Empire back then, it was actually because he was poached by Yun Luofeng? And he had the nerve to call it retirement? That won’t do, I must go and report this matter to His Majesty!”
……

  The Tianhui Empire

  Inside the extravagant palace, the Emperor received a messenger pigeon and his face turned terrifyingly dark. “Qing Mu, the old b*stard, he dared to deceive me! What retiring? He clearly abandoned Zhen and chose another calling.”


  Although he did not need a disobedient old man like Qing Mu, it did not mean he was willing to allow Qing Mu to be loyal to someone else. Especially if that person was Yun Luofeng.

  “That Ge Yang also isn’t anything good. He lied to me saying his disciple offended people from the Wushuang Empire, causing me to go into hiding for a few days, and he took away the people from the Imperial Physician Court in the meantime!”


  As soon as he recalled coming back to an empty Imperial Physician Court that day, his heart would smoke, and he wished nothing more than to shred those people into pieces!

  “Your Majesty.” Noble Consort Liu leaned into the emperor’s embrace with a light smile. “It’s merely Yun Luofeng, what are we afraid of? Why don’t we send our soldiers out and eradicate her?”


  “My dear consort, Yun Luofeng received the good graces of Princess Qingshuang of the Liuyue Empire and also has a good relationship with the ancestor of the Ji Family. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to take her on.” The Emperor sighed, his face full of helplessness.

  It’s not that he did not want to eliminate Yun Luofeng, but he did not have the power, so he could only watch his enemy running freely, unable to do anything.

  “Hohoho……” Suddenly, a chilling laughter rang in the air and reverberated in the Imperial study.

  The Emperor’s face drastically shifted, and he harshly shouted, “Who are you? Show yourself!”


  After the Emperor said this, the eerie voice spoke again, “With that cowardice of yours, why bother being an emperor? You should just change the dynasty, the sooner the better.”


  An old man completely enveloped in darkness appeared in front of him. A black mist hung around the old man, causing people to be unable to see his face clearly.

  His voice was rough and hoarse, like fingernails scratching on wood, giving people an unsettling feeling.

  “Who are you?” the Emperor asked, looking at the old man with alarm.

  “Someone who came to aid you.”


  “Aid me?” The Emperor was taken back, a glint flashing through his eyes.

  “That’s right.” The old man’s voice was low. “I can help you unify the continent and obtain your revenge. More than that, I can provide a stronger power to the cultivators of your empire……”


  The Emperor maintained his prudence. “What will you gain from helping me?”


  If there was no gain, why would this old man help him for no reason?

  “I want the Emperor’s jade seal of the three great empires.” The man’s abrasive voice greatly unnerved people.

  Hearing him, the Emperor was startled. “Why do you want the jade seal?”


  “There’s no need for you to know its purpose. You only need to know that I have the power to help you! You can hand the jade seal over to me after I help you. This is a fair trade.”


  Unifying the continent is likely everyone’s dream. If he really had this opportunity, how could he give it up?
