Capital, Imperial Palace.
Liang Sheng followed the No-Life Sect Leader from a distance, feeling hesitant upon seeing the Imperial Palace before him.
However, he hesitated, the No-Life Sect Leader suddenly turned to the left and stopped in a hidden corner at the edge of the Imperial City.
Seeing that the Sect Leader wasn’t entering the palace, Liang Sheng gritted his teeth and continued to follow quietly, relying on the Attribute Panel to remain unnoticed.
At this moment, the No-Life Sect Leader was wearing night-walking clothes, blending in with the night as his Qi was concealed. He was hidden in a corner outside the palace, where even the Imperial Army’s patrols wouldn’t notice him.
But the No-Life Sect Leader stood still for a long time, seemingly waiting for someone.
At the next moment, Liang Sheng’s pupils contracted as he saw an unexpected figure approaching.
In the corner, the Innate Master Eunuch, who had executed Prince Ping’an and Xuan Kong, was helping an old man walk slowly.
The old man was none other than Emperor Yan Jing, Ye Yun.
The sight of this scene would evoke laughter if it were described. After all, how could it be possible for the No-Life Sect Leader and the current Emperor to meet privately?
But the truth was so strange. And both sides seemed quite familiar. The Eunuch Master didn’t show any caution, taking out a folding chair and offering it to Emperor Yan Jing to sit on, even thoughtfully covering him with a small blanket.
“Although Da Ban is with me, 1 still have to avoid attracting attention. That’s why I only brought a chair for myself. You don’t mind, do you?”
The No-Life Sect Leader remained silent and expressionless under his mask, but from his tone, one could tell he was disdainful.
“Enough of your pretense. The Grandmaster here used a magical weapon for your sake, and I’m afraid he does not have many years left.
But really, haven’t you grown tired of pretending all your life? Whatever, this has nothing to do with my purpose today. I’m here to collect my reward.”
“I will give you what you want, but knowing my time is running out, we haven’t had a proper chat in all these years, have we?”
Upon hearing this, the No-Life Sect Leader hesitated but didn’t refuse. Emperor Yan Jing knew he had tacitly agreed.
“Thank you for helping this time; otherwise, I don’t know how long that old fart Ye Min would keep hiding.
If my end wasn’t near, I wouldn’t have taken action so quickly, since it would ultimately hurt Dayan’s national strength.
And because I acted hastily, 1 left some loose ends. 1 originally wanted Da Ban to serve my prince, but he won’t last for more than a few years now. Fortunately, these are just minor details and don’t affect the overall situation.”
In response, the No-Life Sect Leader sneered, “You’re just as hypocritical as ever. Can you stop playing the helpless victim? Wasn’t it you who had me kidnap Ye Min’s legitimate child thirty years ago? Isn’t this part of your plan?
Although unforeseen events occurred, such as Princess Ping’an personally bringing the child back from Jinzhou City, didn’t you still manipulate the Holy Sect to push Prince Ping’an’s Mansion into your trap step by step?”
Hearing this, Liang Sheng was astonished. He had never imagined that the No-Life Sect and the Emperor had been trading for decades.
Furthermore, since its founding, Dayan had been suppressing the No-Life Sect, which had managed to survive. Could it be…
At this moment, a bold idea crossed Liang Sheng’s mind, but he quickly shook his head, bitterly smiling at the thought of how impossible it seemed.
Yet, deep down, he felt that this was the truth, and Emperor Yan Jing’s following words confirmed his suspicion. He had never thought that the ruling dynasty’s royal family and the rebellious No-Life Sect were in cahoots.
“Nevermind, right and wrong don’t matter much anymore. 1 did all this for the sake of Ye Family’s territory and have no regrets. 1 can face our ancestors with a clear conscience.
If Ye Min were still around, it would be extremely difficult for my son to ascend the throne smoothly. And, unrest would be inevitable within Dayan, ultimately harming the interests of our Ye Family.
Thirteen Uncle!”
You don’t need to laugh at me. After all, if it weren’t for this, why would our founding ancestor of the Ye family establish the Lifeless Sect and secretly make the imperial family members the Leaders of the Lifeless Sect?
There is no invincible dynasty in this world. As time goes on, problems will inevitably arise in the dynasty, but it’s better to let our own people be the biggest rebels than let others rebel against us.
In this way, it’s easy to see who has the heart to rebel and who is truly loyal to Dayan, and my Ye family can advance and retreat freely.”
At that point, Emperor Yan Jing was unconsciously emotional as he spoke, suddenly coughing. The Innate Eunuch Grandmaster quickly infused Internal Energy into Emperor Yan Jing’s body, helping him gradually recover.
The Leader of the Lifeless Sect did not refute but directly said, “In any case, I have already done as you asked, and it’s time for you to give me the compensation you promised.”
“Da Ban, give the Barrier Breaking Pill to Thirteen Uncle.”
At this time, the Innate Eunuch Grandmaster took out a jade bottle and carefully handed it over. The Leader of the Lifeless Sect took it and, although his face could not be seen, the surprise was evident in his eyes.
Perhaps it was because Emperor Yan Jing was so forthright that, looking at the dying Emperor Yan Jing, a softness filled his heart.
“Now that Ye Min has been taken care of, you should make arrangements sooner rather than later. Don’t make the same mistake as my eldest brother, who never had heirs, and let you and Ye Min struggle for power, wasting the national power.”
“Thirteen Uncle, rest assured, 1 have already made arrangements for this matter. However, among my sons, the most accomplished one is just an ordinary ruler.
Once they enter the Grand Temple, they will naturally understand the situation. If they are incompetent and cannot hold onto Dayan’s territory, Thirteen Uncle, you will have to bear more responsibilities. You can exercise your duty and change to a new monarch.”
The Leader of the Lifeless Sect nodded, “If your descendants don’t work out, 1 will take action. After all, the world should only be ruled by the surname Ye, and can only be ruled by the Ye family.
However, due to the recent years, there are not many Barrier Breaking Pills left, so we have to be even more cautious about what we do.
As for the remnants of the Dharma Sect, I would’ve taken care of them long ago if not for fear that Ye Min’s plans weren’t fully in place yet. Now that Ye Min and Xuan Kong are gone, there’s no need to worry, and I’ll help you deal with it.
I’ve already tested Prince Wu and Prince Chu in the Capital before. There’s no issue there. If you’re worried that your son’s abilities will be insufficient after ascending the throne, you can appoint them as your trusted ministers.
Of course, this is just my personal advice; it’s up to you. Today should be the last time we meet. When the new monarch ascends the throne, I will naturally come again.”
After speaking, the Leader of the Lifeless Sect left directly, without delay. Emperor Yan Jing sat for a while after he left before finally sighing.
“Da Ban, let’s go back. For the last stretch, 1 have to hold on and clear the obstacles for my worthless son.”
1 sometimes think, if 1 had put more effort into cultivation back in the day and advanced to the Postnatal Nine-Realm, would I have had more time?”
The Innate Master Eunuch listened without saying a word, just putting away the folding chair. He then deceived everyone’s eyes and escorted Emperor Yan Jing back to the palace.
Not far away, after they left, Liang Sheng did not dare to breathe and could not calm his heart for a long time.
The legitimate Dayan and biggest rebellion Lifeless Sect turned out to be a family, and if anyone contacted the Lifeless Sect with ulterior motives, they would be walking the road to self-destruction.
For example, the Prince of Ping’an’s Mansion.
No wonder Prince Ping’an failed so miserably in the battle for the Innate, after all, Emperor Yan Jing had planned against him thirty years ago. How could he not lose?
To say, the world is full of old silver coins. If it weren’t for his longevity, he would probably be caught up in these turbid disputes, struggling for a glimmer of survival. In that case, he would have to enter the chess game and risk being played to death by these old silver coins.
At this moment, Liang Sheng was more determined that he would never court trouble without absolute certainty, and he would quietly develop himself.
After all, he would eventually have the chance to find the clues to cultivation in front of time. These old silver coins would eventually only become a mound of yellow soil, no longer existing in this world.
Later, Liang Sheng left the Imperial City to go to Dusty Garden. After being shocked today, he had to find a place to comfort himself.
It was really too frightening..
