Three months later, Sky Fortune King’s magnificent Eastern Palace welcomed its new master.
“Hahahahahahahahahaha, I never thought that through the winding paths of life, the one that would have the last laugh would be me!” The Tenth Prince Yang Zhen traced the throne of the Eastern Palace, his fingers trembling with excitement.
“This is all mine as it should be. Third Brother, all the fear that I felt this year, I shall return it back to you! I will let you know how it feels to have everything you own in the control of others, knowing that your head can fall at any moment!”
As Yang Zhen spoke, his face flashed with the utter ecstasy of a fulfilled revenge.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind him. “Yang Zhen, do not forget who it is that supported you to become the new Crown Prince of Sky Fortune Kingdom.”
Yang Zhen’s body trembled, and all of the overbearing arrogance that he had displayed was immediately restrained. “Martial House Master, please rest assured. This little prince will never forget your kindness. Later, this little prince will follow all directions of Mister Ouyang.”
“Mm! Remember this well. As long as you obey, you will be guaranteed a century of rule!” The one who spoke to Yang Zhen was a cloaked man. This man was the new Seven Profound Martial House Master of Sky Fortune Kingdom. After Qin Ziya had broken through to the Xiantian realm, he had returned to his sect as an Elder. Thus, the position of Sky Fortune Kingdom’s Seven Profound Martial House Master was naturally empty. This man was a new candidate that had been chosen by Ouyang Boyan.
This cloaked man was a disciple that Ouyang Boyan had received a long time ago. His cultivation was at a half-step Xiantian, but as a sect’s half-step Xiantian martial artist, he was able to completely sweep away the entirety of Sky Fortune Kingdom’s martial world. Even if Muyi and all the other masters of Sky Fortune Kingdom gathered together, they would not be his match!
“Martial House Master, in order to clear out the Qin Family, I shall be counting on Martial House Master’s help.
When a new emperor came in, he would assign his own courtiers and his own subordinates. Often, the first step towards this was clearing out all the court officials of the past era. The first reason was as a show of power, the second reason was to recover wealth and authority, and the third reason was to consolidate their own rule and eliminate any chance of rebellion.
Since ancient times, powerful ministers and officials would never have a pleasant end. Not to mention Qin Xiao’s fame. Within Sky Fortune Kingdom, the common folk all knew his name, but might not know the name of the emperor.
In this situation, because of Lin Ming, Qin Xiao had supported the Crown Prince. So how could Yang Zhen possibly tolerate someone like Qin Xiao.
“I will naturally help you in clearing out the Qin Family.” The cloaked man indifferently said. If he wanted to deal with the Qin Family, then he would also be able to conveniently deal with Qin Xingxuan. Qin Xiao may have been a god to the military of Sky Fortune Kingdom, but in his eyes, he wasn’t even a fart. If he wanted to take Qin Xiao’s life, no one in the Marshal Quarters could stop him!
After Yang Zhen obtained the assurance of the cloaked man, he really wanted to laugh several times. ‘Lin Ming, Lin Ming, I didn’t expect that your actions would help me in the end. Without you, there was no way that Ouyang Boyan would have supported someone so insignificant as myself, and it would also be impossible for me to clear out the obstacle known as Qin Xiao. I really pity Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao has been brilliant and brave his entire life, yet his family produced such a catastrophic mess like Qin Xingxuan!’
‘There is also Green Mulberry City’s Lin Family. But there’s no need to hurry. Once I sit on the throne, I will slowly deal with them!’
……………………
“They want me to go to the open sea battlefield?”
After Qin Xingxuan saw the Seven Profound Command, she was dazed for a moment.
These past months, Qin Xingxuan was in a very dark state of mind. After she heard the news that Lin Ming had died, she hadn’t believed it at first, but slowly, she had no choice but to accept this fact.
She had left the Seven Profound Martial House by herself, and with the arrangements of Qin Ziya, she had gone to see Lin Ming’s parents. But, she hadn’t told the old couple the news.
Qin Ziya hadn’t yet either. This old couple still didn’t know that their son had already fallen within the Divine Phoenix Mystic Realm.
Qin Xingxuan and Lin Mu lived together for several days. Lin Mu was very happy and concerned about her, and had even made several veiled attempts to bring up the matter of marriage. In the past, this would have caused Qin Xingxuan to feel very warm and happy, but now, this only made her feel sad and morose.
