Chapter 1423 - 1356: The Only Condition!
Dong!!
Suddenly.
A knocking sound echoed.
The State Preceptor's eyebrows arched, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, he stood up from the dragon throne, walked to the center of the hall, dissipated the soundproof barrier, and said, "Come in."
The door opened.
The Commander of the Kylin Army stood outside, scanning the hall suspiciously.
"Does the Commander have any business?"
The State Preceptor smiled and asked.
The Commander of the Kylin Army quickly entered the hall, bowed, and said, "Greetings, State Preceptor. Might I ask, where is His Majesty?"
The State Preceptor said, "His Majesty has gone to a secluded place to train. If there is anything, just report it to me."
"It's nothing much, just that I haven't seen His Majesty for a long time and kind of miss him."
The Commander of the Kylin Army smiled and said.
The State Preceptor chuckled and said, "The Commander is truly loyal to His Majesty; indeed, it is a blessing for our Great Qin!"
But within the smile, there was a hint of murderous intent.
In fact.
Long ago, he personally sought out the Commander of the Kylin Army, intending to bring him into his inner circle.
After all.
The Commander of the Kylin Army controls the entire Kylin Army.
If he could bring the Commander of the Kylin Army under his command, and coupled with the Black Iron Army, the entire Imperial Palace would be under his control.
However!
The Commander of the Kylin Army was too loyal to the Emperor.
No matter what conditions he offered, he refused.
Unable to be used, he could only be eliminated.
But before, with the Emperor present, he wasn't able to act. Now, he could do whatever he wanted, and no one could stop him!
"If there's nothing else, I will take my leave."
The Commander of the Kylin Army looked at the State Preceptor, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he bowed.
After speaking, without waiting for the State Preceptor's response, he turned to leave.
His urgent desire to leave was not because he discovered the murderous intent in the State Preceptor's eyes, but because being alone with him made him uncomfortable.
"Wait."
The State Preceptor looked at the back of the Commander of the Kylin Army and suddenly spoke.
The Commander of the Kylin Army froze, turned to look at the State Preceptor, and asked, "Does the lord have any orders?"
"Do you remember what I once told you?"
"Now, I give you another chance. As long as you follow me, I will let you enjoy endless wealth and prosperity."
The State Preceptor said.
"My lord."
"This is the Golden Throne Hall."
"Is it appropriate to discuss this in the Golden Throne Hall?"
The Commander of the Kylin Army's pupils contracted, and he cautiously said.
"Haha..."
The State Preceptor laughed, shook his head, and mocked, "You are too naive. Since you cannot be used by me, then I can only..."
Before the State Preceptor could finish speaking, the Commander of the Kylin Army felt an intense sense of unease, and without any hesitation, he turned and rushed out the door.
"Want to leave?"
The State Preceptor's face was full of ridicule, his divine might surged like a waterfall, directly imprisoning the Commander of the Kylin Army in mid-air.
"State Preceptor."
"This is the Imperial Palace, what do you intend to do?"
The Commander of the Kylin Army shouted.
"Since you won't comply, then I can only kill you to prevent you from becoming an obstacle in the future."
The State Preceptor's eyes were filled with killing intent, without any concealment.
Upon hearing this.
The Commander of the Kylin Army's heart sank.
The State Preceptor smiled slightly, lifted his arm, his index finger's tip surged with Pseudo God's power.
Feeling the terrifying killing intent, the Commander of the Kylin Army was chilled to the bone and couldn't help but despair, shouting: "I yield!"
"That's more like it!"
"I like people who know how to recognize the times."
The State Preceptor laughed heartily, formed seals with his hands, and the Blood Soul Art congealed forth.
"Blood Soul Art!"
The Commander of the Kylin Army's expression changed drastically.
Blood Soul Art, although a secret technique, he knew a little about it.
Swish!
The mark formed from the Blood Soul Art shot into the Commander of the Kylin Army's body like lightning.
"Ah..."
The Commander of the Kylin Army immediately howled in agony.
The State Preceptor looked at the Commander of the Kylin Army, his face full of smiles.
Currently, he controlled the Law Enforcement Hall and the Black Iron Army, now coupled with the Kylin Army, the Great Qin Empire was practically his possession.
But just as the State Preceptor was feeling invincible, an unexpected change occurred!
Suddenly, the State Preceptor's body trembled violently, spewing a mouthful of old blood, and the power imprisoning the Commander of the Kylin Army dissipated instantly.
The Commander of the Kylin Army, without hesitation, leapt into the air and hastily escaped.
However, in his heart, he was extremely bewildered.
What was going on?
Previously, he clearly felt that he was about to be controlled by the State Preceptor's Blood Soul Art, but in his Sea of Consciousness, a mysterious force suddenly emerged, instantly crushing the State Preceptor's Blood Soul Art.
"How is this possible?"
In the Golden Throne Hall.
The State Preceptor also looked incredulous.
"Wait!"
"This situation is exactly the same as when I tried to control Thunder Leopard last time, could it possibly be related to Qin Feiyang again?"
"That damned brat, repeatedly ruining my plans, I will definitely not let you go!"
The State Preceptor roared repeatedly in his heart, then dashed out of the hall, standing in the sky above the Golden Throne Hall, scanning the surroundings.
Very soon.
He spotted the Commander of the Kylin Army.
He was shocked to find out that the direction the Commander of the Kylin Army was heading was towards the Bright Sky Palace!
"To the Bright Sky Palace?"
"Could it be that the Commander of the Kylin Army has long since sided with Qin Feiyang?"
The State Preceptor raised his eyebrows but did not pursue.
Because once he left the Golden Throne Hall, he dared not act against the Commander of the Kylin Army.
After all.
The Commander of the Kylin Army held significant power, his status in the Imperial Capital was of great importance, and killing him publicly would draw criticism from others.
The most important thing is, it will attract the attention of those ancient creatures in the imperial palace's back mountain.
This is not a good thing for the State Preceptor.
Of course.
He is not worried that the Commander of the Kylin Army will tell others about this.
Because the Commander of the Kylin Army knows his means.
He also knows that even if it is told, not many people will believe it.
…
"Qin Feiyang, open the door quickly, I need to see you."
Bright Sky Palace.
The Commander of the Kylin Army breathlessly landed in front of the palace, forcefully knocking on the door.
Qin Feiyang heard this inside the ancient castle but turned a deaf ear.
"Bang!"
The Commander of the Kylin Army, anxious, slammed open the door but saw the interior completely empty.
He ran into the hall, closed the door, and shouted, "I know you're in the ancient castle; come out quickly! I have something very important to tell you."
However.
Inside the hall, aside from the Commander of the Kylin Army's shouts, there was still deathly silence.
…
Imperial Palace's Back Mountain.
In a certain mountain stream, fog was dense, cold winds were blowing, appearing unfathomable.
A gray-haired old man walked out of the mist, none other than Elder Qin!
But at this moment.
He staggered, his eyes vacant, his arms hung weakly as if he had lost his soul.
"What should I do?"
He murmured to himself, his old face full of helplessness.
He just walked on like this, like a walking corpse.
Unconsciously.
He left the back mountain and entered the Imperial Palace.
Unconsciously again, he arrived in front of Bright Sky Palace.
"Qin Feiyang has already let go; why do I still come here?"
"Natural calamities can be forgiven, self-created disasters are not livable."
"Today's situation is all caused by me."
"If I hadn't overestimated myself and allowed His Majesty to use the divine order from the start, how could things have come to this point?"
Elder Qin shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, then prepared to leave.
"Qin Feiyang, I beg you, can you come out to see me?"
Suddenly.
The voice of the Commander of the Kylin Army came from inside Bright Sky Palace.
"Huh?"
Elder Qin was slightly stunned, turning to look at the tightly closed door, why would the Commander of the Kylin Army be inside?
Elder Qin, with doubt, walked to the door and pushed it open.
The Commander of the Kylin Army thought it was Qin Feiyang and was overjoyed but saw it was Elder Qin.
Elder Qin entered the hall and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Close the door first."
Said the Commander of the Kylin Army.
Elder Qin turned and closed the door, then looked at the Commander of the Kylin Army and said, "Judging by your anxious look, has something happened?"
The Commander of the Kylin Army said in a deep voice, "Just now in the Golden Throne Hall, the State Preceptor attempted to kill me."
"What?"
Elder Qin's body stiffened, angrily saying, "This is outrageous, even dares to kill the Commander personally appointed by His Majesty, does he have no regard for the law?"
The Commander of the Kylin Army said, "He used to restrain himself when His Majesty was around, but now the Emperor has been harmed; I'm afraid in his eyes, the law has become worthless."
"We can't let him continue like this, or the Imperial Palace will inevitably be in chaos."
After Elder Qin finished speaking, he looked around the hall, pleading, "Qin Feiyang, now the Imperial Palace is in imminent danger; please, for the sake of the former Emperor, give us a hand!"
"Yes!"
"We seek nothing else but for you to come forward and suppress the State Preceptor's arrogance."
Said the Commander of the Kylin Army.
Waited for a moment but did not get Qin Feiyang's response, Elder Qin angrily said, "Do you require me to kneel before you before you agree?"
The Commander of the Kylin Army turned to look at Elder Qin, seeing Elder Qin's face filled with sorrow and anger, frowning and saying, "Elder Qin, what is really going on here? Why did Qin Feiyang suddenly just let go?"
"It's all my fault."
Elder Qin sighed with self-reproach on his face, then looked into the void and said, "No matter how you resent me, but with the big picture at stake, you cannot stand by idly!"
Plop!
After speaking.
Elder Qin indeed knelt down.
"This..."
The Commander of the Kylin Army was dumbstruck.
Who is Elder Qin? To actually put down his dignity and face, kneeling before Qin Feiyang?
What unknown matter has happened here?
The Commander of the Kylin Army shouted angrily, "Qin Feiyang, Elder Qin has knelt for you, what more do you want, as a subject of Great Qin, as a person who inherited the former Emperor's legacy, how can you ignore the crises of the Great Qin Empire?"
"I also kneel before you, I beg you, come out!"
Plop, the Commander of the Kylin Army also knelt on the ground, his face full of helplessness.
As time passed.
The hall gradually plunged into silence.
Both Elder Qin and the Commander of the Kylin Army were tormented within.
Suddenly!
A white figure appeared out of nowhere in front of the two.
But it wasn't Qin Feiyang; it was Luk Zheng!
The two looked up at Luk Zheng.
As for Luk Zheng, Elder Qin naturally was not unfamiliar.
But the Commander of the Kylin Army was full of surprise and doubt in his eyes.
Luk Zheng, of course, he recognized too; back then, when the Second Grandfather of the Luk Family entered the Imperial Palace to play chess with the State Preceptor, Luk Zheng was beside him.
But why is this youngster with Qin Feiyang now?
"Where is Qin Feiyang?"
Asked Elder Qin.
Luk Zheng looked at the two and sighed, "Elder Qin, Commander, you might as well rise first, such great courtesy, my little cousin really cannot bear."
"I will not rise until he comes out."
The Commander of the Kylin Army shook his head.
"Why is this necessary?"
Luk Zheng sighed deeply, looking at Elder Qin: "My Cousin brother has asked me to convey a message: He can intervene, but you must tell us the whereabouts of the Emperor now. This is his only condition, without any room for negotiation."
