Immortal God of War

At the same time.

Qin Feiyang also received the news.

It was naturally Yan Wei who informed him.

But Qin Feiyang didn't say much, nor did he intend to inquire further, continuing to transcribe the Action Art.

Looking at Qin Feiyang's demeanor, Luk Zheng sighed softly, his heart full of helplessness.

It seems this time.

This little cousin has firmly decided not to interfere.

Outside the Golden Throne Hall!

The civil and military officials had already dispersed, leaving only the Chief Eunuch guarding the entrance.

Whoosh!

Suddenly.

Elder Qin and the Commander of the Kylin Army descended.

The Chief Eunuch was about to reprimand, but upon seeing Elder Qin, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Qin."

"That old bastard is here!"

Inside the hall.

Upon hearing the Chief Eunuch's voice, Martial Marquis Zhuge's expression turned drastically.

The soundproof barrier set by the State Preceptor was meant to prevent anyone from overhearing their discussions, yet they could clearly hear the sounds from outside.

"Don't panic."

The State Preceptor waved his hand and dispelled the Divine Power barrier, nodding to Zhuge Nanhua.

Zhuge Nanhua understood immediately, quickly swallowed a Shape-shifting Pill, and transformed into the Emperor's appearance.

Outside!

Elder Qin glanced at the Chief Eunuch and walked straight to the front of the door, kicking it open with a forceful foot.

As he saw the Emperor sitting on the dragon throne, his eyes instantly erupted with murderous intent!

Simultaneously.

Seeing Elder Qin enraged, the Chief Eunuch was about to go up and stop him.

"Get lost!"

Elder Qin shouted angrily, sending a wave of divine might.

The Chief Eunuch shivered and quickly turned around to flee.

"What on earth is happening?"

Witnessing this scene, the Commander of the Kylin Army following Elder Qin grew more suspicious.

Elder Qin stepped into the Golden Throne Hall.

The Commander of the Kylin Army was also about to enter.

But with a wave from the State Preceptor, the door slammed shut with a bang, directly blocking the Commander outside.

Immediately after.

He waved again, and the soundproof barrier reappeared.

"What?"

"Afraid of being exposed?"

Elder Qin sneered.

The State Preceptor smiled lightly and said, "What does this State Preceptor have to fear being exposed?"

Elder Qin mocked with a laugh, looking at Zhuge Nanhua seated above, a fierce and overwhelming aura rising from his being.

"You dare sit in this place? Get down!"

With a flicker, Elder Qin landed before Zhuge Nanhua and directly slapped his face.

"Ah..."

With a miserable cry, Zhuge Nanhua was sent flying, crashing into a stone pillar, fresh blood spewing from his mouth.

The State Preceptor and Martial Marquis Zhuge were shocked.

In the next moment.

They ran to Zhuge Nanhua's side.

Martial Marquis Zhuge supported Zhuge Nanhua.

The State Preceptor glared angrily at Elder Qin, shouting, "Old bastard, have you eaten tiger's heart and leopard's guts? You dare slap His Majesty's face?"

"His Majesty?"

Elder Qin's rage reached the sky, saying, "You are the one with tiger's heart and leopard's guts, allowing someone to impersonate His Majesty; what crime should you suffer?"

The State Preceptor's heart stiffened, frowning, "What did you say? Impersonate His Majesty?"

"Still playing dumb?"

Elder Qin sneered and took out a Restorative Pill, throwing it at Zhuge Nanhua's feet, saying, "Whether it's an impersonation or not, take this Restorative Pill and you'll know."

Zhuge Nanhua glanced at the Restorative Pill, looking at the State Preceptor with panic.

Martial Marquis Zhuge also showed a face of terror.

How is Elder Qin so certain that the 'Emperor' is an impersonation?

It must be noted.

The Emperor is missing, his life and death unknown; nobody knows where he is now.

Yet Elder Qin entered without saying a word and directly concluded the 'Emperor' before him is an impersonation.

This is too bizarre!

Could it be...

Suddenly.

The State Preceptor, Martial Marquis Zhuge, and Zhuge Nanhua's gaze all trembled at the same time.

Could it be that Elder Qin knows where the real Emperor is?

"What are you standing there for? Quickly take the Restorative Pill!"

"True gold fears not the test of fire; if you are truly His Majesty, this old man is willing to make amends for his reckless actions with death!"

Elder Qin shouted.

Watching Elder Qin with his sinister gaze, Zhuge Nanhua felt extreme panic, his body involuntarily trembling.

"Haha..."

The State Preceptor laughed aloud, tilting his head back.

Elder Qin's gaze shifted, landing on the State Preceptor, the old eyes exuding an icy murderous intent.

The State Preceptor stopped laughing, looking at Elder Qin and said, "Since we've been discovered, there is no need to hide it any longer. Take the Restorative Pill!"

Zhuge Nanhua nodded, grabbed the Restorative Pill, threw it into his mouth, and quickly reverted to his true visage.

Upon seeing this.

Elder Qin clenched his hands, saying coldly, "You all truly have audacity beyond the heavens!"

"Wrong!"

"The audacity beyond the heavens is yours, for you are the one who abducted His Majesty!"

"Quickly speak, where is His Majesty now?"

The State Preceptor shouted.

Upon hearing.

Elder Qin's body stiffened, secretly exclaiming 'trouble'.

In a moment of anger, he had forgotten this point.

Entering without questioning, directly acted against Zhuge Nanhua, thus exposing his knowledge of the Emperor's whereabouts?

Impossible!

Cannot admit it!

Elder Qin muttered secretly, looking at the State Preceptor, sneering, "Having been together for so many years, only now I realize you are truly shameless."

"What do you mean?"

The State Preceptor raised an eyebrow.

"You let Zhuge Nanhua impersonate His Majesty, and when discovered by this old man, you want to bite back, saying this old man abducted His Majesty, intending to put this old man to death. How is your heart so malicious?"

Elder Qin roared angrily.

"What nonsense!"

The State Preceptor also stared back angrily.

"Stop with this drivel."

"Impersonating His Majesty deserves the execution of all nine generations!"

"Bring Zhuge Nanhua and Martial Marquis Zhuge with you at once, follow this old man to the imperial palace's rear mountain, and await 'Emperor Hong's' judgment!"

Elder Qin declared.

"Emperor Hong!"

At the mention of this name, Zhuge Nanhua and Martial Marquis Zhuge trembled in body and mind, despair crawling into their eyes.

"Emperor Hong..."

The State Preceptor murmured.

But suddenly, the State Preceptor smirked playfully, looking at Elder Yi, and mocked, "Execution of all nine generations? Don't be naive, let me tell you, this action of mine has already been approved by Emperor Hong."

"What?"

Elder Qin's body stiffened, exclaiming in shock and anger, "How is this possible?"

"Obtained Emperor Hong's approval?"

Both Zhuge Nanhua and Martial Marquis Zhuge were stunned, immediately looking at the State Preceptor, asking, "Is this true?"

The State Preceptor nodded.

The two were overjoyed, and their previously tense hearts finally relaxed.

The State Preceptor glanced at Zhuge Nanhua and Martial Marquis Zhuge and then said to the State Preceptor in a deep voice, "Emperor Hong could never allow you to do such a thing, how can you prove it?"

"You want proof?"

"I'll give it to you."

The State Preceptor sneered contemptuously, a golden light flashed from his Qi Sea, landing in front of Elder Qin.

It was a piece of golden paper, appearing as if cast from gold, with divine radiance shimmering.

On it, there was only one large character.

—Hong!

But this character, like iron hooks and silver strokes, carried immense authority, piercing directly into Elder Qin's heart.

The State Preceptor laughed coldly, "You also recognize Emperor Hong's handwriting, confirm it well, see if it's handwritten by Emperor Hong, lest you falsely accuse me again."

Elder Qin seemed unfazed, staring at the Hong character on the paper, his old face full of disbelief.

"Why..."

"Why on earth..."

"Such absurdity, why does Emperor Hong agree..."

He murmured to himself, his heart in confusion.

The State Preceptor stepped forward, snatching the paper, and carefully stored it in his Qi Sea, then looked at Elder Qin with satisfaction, saying, "Tell me, how do you feel now?"

"I don't believe it!"

"I must go and ask Emperor Hong in person!"

Elder Qin declared.

"As you wish."

The State Preceptor laughed coldly.

Elder Qin stared deeply at him, then with a wave of his hand, shattered the barrier set by the State Preceptor, and then opened a teleportation portal, turning and walking into it.

After the teleportation portal dissipated, the State Preceptor set up another soundproof barrier.

Zhuge Nanhua and Martial Marquis Zhuge immediately ran to the State Preceptor, asking in surprise, "Ancestor, was that really written by 'Emperor Hong'?"

"Of course."

The State Preceptor nodded.

The two looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.

Zhuge Nanhua curiously asked, "Ancestor, how did you persuade Emperor Hong?"

"It's a long story, and I will tell you slowly when there's time."

"Now, you need to do something for me."

The State Preceptor ordered, his eyes carrying a cold murderous intent.

"What is it?"

The two asked.

The State Preceptor said, "Kill, the more the better, I need to refine Bloodfiend Pills from them, quickly strengthening our Zhuge family's power."

"Yes."

The two respectfully replied, their eyes flashing with bloodthirstiness.

The State Preceptor added, "Also, you must protect the little Prince well, this child is precious now and there can be no mistakes."

"Understood."

The two nodded.

"And, as long as the emperor's body is not found, my heart will not be at peace, you must find his body as soon as possible."

The State Preceptor instructed.

"Great Qin Empire is so vast, how do we search?"

The two frowned.

"Keep an eye on Elder Qin, I always feel he knows of the emperor's whereabouts."

"That damn old bastard, always opposing me, once I ascend the throne, he'll be the first I kill!"

The State Preceptor snorted coldly, murderous intent chilling.

"What if the emperor isn't dead?"

Zhuge Nanhua asked.

The State Preceptor did not hesitate, laughing sinisterly, "It took so much effort to take this first step, I do not intend to turn back, so the emperor must die!"

Zhuge Nanhua and Martial Marquis Zhuge exchanged a glance, bowed to the State Preceptor, then turned and walked to the barrier.

The State Preceptor waved his hand, and the barrier opened a portal of light.

The two stepped through the portal, opened a teleportation door, and left together.

The State Preceptor waved his hand again, the portal of light quickly closing.

Soon after.

He turned to look at the dragon throne above, and after a moment of silence, began walking towards it step by step, with a hint of a smile appearing on his old face.

And as he got closer, the smile on his face grew brighter.

Finally.

He stood before the dragon throne, extending his aged hand to gently stroke the armrest of the throne.

Gradually.

His arm, unable to resist, began to tremble.

In his eyes, at this moment, a deep desire crawled up.

Suddenly!

The State Preceptor turned around, sat proudly upon the dragon throne, and gazed down at the great hall with fiery eyes.

In a daze.

He seemed to already see the scene of the entire court of civil and military officials bowing before him!

"The first step was successful..."

"Next is the second step..."

"Just wait, it won't be long before the Great Qin Empire changes names, and my Zhuge family will rule this land!"

"And I, Zhuge Shenyun, will replace Qin Batian, becoming the first emperor through the ages!"

"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"

"Haha..."

The State Preceptor muttered to himself, growing more and more excited as he spoke, until finally, he brazenly threw his head back and laughed in the Golden Throne Hall.
