Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 797: Chapter 248: Visitor from Outer Space_3

It seemed that only Emperor Kangqian and Wei Dutong were behind the curtains. However, they were secretly protected by two groups of Imperial Guards.

These Imperial Guards were the elite of the elite, each possessing the strength of the later stages of the Normalization Realm, especially skilled in joint attacks and formation tactics.

Even if Wei Dutong was a peak martial artist of the Hollow Void Stage, under the protection of these two Imperial Guard teams, it was difficult for him to harm Emperor Kangqian in the slightest.

“Your Majesty, the Empress invited me this morning and had a long conversation with me. She wishes for Your Majesty to return to the palace.”

Wei Dutong knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the floor—utterly submissive.

In the past, this posture did not give Wei Dutong much thought.

But at this moment, Wei Dutong only felt endless humiliation.

If he did not suppress it forcefully, he feared that his murderous intent would burst forth.

“Oh?”

Emperor Kangqian seemed to have heard a rather ridiculous joke, he said with complete disbelief, “The Empress is inviting me back to the palace? Does she possess such goodwill?”

“Your Majesty, there have been many rumors circulating in the Capital City recently, and the political situation is somewhat unstable. The Empress is worried, hence her request.”

Wei Dutong provided an explanation following Emperor Kangqian’s disbelieving comment.

“Is that so?”

Emperor Kangqian questioned without any visible reaction.

“I dare not speak irresponsibly, I deserve death! I deserve death!”

Wei Dutong’s body bowed even lower, seeming somewhat overwhelmed by Emperor Kangqian’s hidden anger.

“This matter doesn’t involve you much. Get up and come closer, I have something to instruct you to do.”

Emperor Kangqian was quite satisfied with Wei Dutong’s submissive attitude, considering him a faithful dog.

Not wagging his tail and begging at another person when the master is not at home.

“Thank Your Majesty.”

Wei Dutong rose to his feet, gingerly dusted himself off, and as usual, bowed and walked to Emperor Kangqian’s side.

“You…”

Emperor Kangqian did not notice anything unusual. He was ready to reprimand him before tossing him a bone and ordering his faithful dog to bite others, as usual.

After eating the Longevity Peach and recently laying down his political duties to focus on martial arts, his health gradually restored. His ambitions were consequently rekindled, and he seemed ready to return to his former glory.

The Empress, occupying the main palace, was getting in his way.

Planning to depose the Empress and set up another, he intended to search the world for beauties to enrich his harem.

But he managed to say only the beginning sentence of his plan, when he suddenly stopped speaking, showing an extremely shocked expression.

Wei Dutong finally took action when he got close to him, managing to restrain Emperor Kangqian.

The body of Great Emperor Dayong was enveloped in an invisible and intangible aura of national fortune, which was unpredictable but wonderful. Ordinary people, even peak martial artists of the Hollow Void Stage, could not assassinate him.

Why then, was he nearly disposed of?

The close servants, who had received Emperor Kangqian’s permission to approach him, were almost successful.

Just like Wei Dutong is now.

Having received Emperor Kangqian’s permission, his action naturally wouldn’t trigger the retribution of the national fortune leading to a big uproar.

A moment later, Wei Dutong altered his appearance to resemble Emperor Kangqian.

He then changed Emperor Kangqian’s appearance to resemble his own.

They switched clothes.

Wei Dutong sat on the throne, forcing Emperor Kangqian to kneel before him, angrily shouting, “Insolent! Matters of deposing and establishing are not for a dog slave like you to make reckless comments about! Someone, drag him out and feed him to the dogs.”

When the Emperor had an outburst, blood would spill.

When Great Emperor Dayong got angry, the national fortune would respond.

For this reason, it was perfectly normal for Emperor Kangqian to be kneeling on the ground, unable to move or speak, his eyes filled with fear.

The guards who entered the curtains and obeyed the order to drag Emperor Kangqian out to feed the dogs could only lament in their hearts, that the emperor was becoming more and more difficult to serve.

Ever since he ate the Longevity Peach, how many court officials had been dragged out and fed to the dogs?

Emperor Kangqian never thought that he, who was on the verge of immortality, would die in such a humiliating and painful manner.

Those black dogs he once adored were so joyous while eating his flesh and blood.

“Good dog!”

Just before his last breath, Emperor Kangqian saw Wei Dutong, impersonating himself and holding the Jade Seal, which symbolized the emperor’s position and served as the link between Great Emperor Dayong and the national fortune. He died filled with resentment.

Boom, boom, boom.

The originally moonlit and starry sky suddenly erupted with thunder.

A downpour ensued abruptly.

“Ah, it’s a blood storm!”

Inside the Imperial City.

The old eunuch who was focused on his alchemy practices looked up at the night sky and let out a deep sigh, “These times are becoming chaotic.”

In Kun Ning Palace, the Empress dismissed all the eunuchs and inner servants, sitting alone in the sleeping quarters.

Finding the scent of blood in the gust and seeing the rain of blood, her spirit was stimulated.

She took out a palm-sized Divine Statue from a secret compartment in her bed, reverentially placed it on a rectangular table specially arranged for it.

After three kneelings and nine kowtows in worship, the Empress crawled to the front of the Divine Statue, opened her left palm, and lightly cut her palm with the index finger of her right hand.

Bright red fresh blood dripped onto the Divine Statue and was absorbed instantly.

When enough blood was dripped, the Divine Statue turned from white to red, and then the Empress stopped her blood-dripping movement.

Ignoring her wound, the Empress began to chant devoutly:

“The mortal world is like a prison, all living beings suffer, reincarnation is endless, worries are relentless, pity us mortals, a divine being descended from the heavens, White Lotus Saintess, saves from calamity and ferry us to the end!”
