Daozong, in the cabinet meeting hall, Ouyang Ye and a group of senior figures are discussing matters.
"Yesterday, Gongsun Pan sent news that the multi-distance teleportation formations between Tianyan City and Taihua City have been completed. Now we can arrive at Tianyan City within half an hour." Dan Qiuzi said with a smile.
"This is the best news right now." Ouyang Ye smiled while stroking his beard.
"Has he left yet?" Huo Yun looked at Ouyang Ye and asked. Everyone's expressions were condensed, and they naturally understood that the person Huo Yun was referring to was Qi Huan.
"No." Ouyang Ye shook his head.
"What on earth does he want to do?" Huo Yun whispered. It has been more than two months since Qi Huan came to Daozong and he has done nothing. This is really unreasonable.
"His purpose is to keep an eye on the sect master. During this period, the royal family seems to have made no moves, but they must be planning secretly." Ouyang Ye said, they didn't know the royal family's preparations, and the royal family didn't know their preparations either.
"Chun Yuhe also disappeared. I wonder what his plans were." Jian Jin said.
"The enemy is bright and we are hidden. We can only take one step at a time." Dan Qiuzi replied.
At this moment, a middle-aged figure quickly walked into the pavilion, looking very anxious, as if something big had happened.
Ouyang Ye saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone just released news in Taihua City that the royal family will attack Taihua City in a few days." The middle-aged man replied.
After he finished speaking, Ouyang Ye and others' expressions froze at the same time. Then Ouyang Ye asked, "Can you find the person who sent the message?"
"The news came from the restaurant. I don't know who released it." The middle-aged man replied.
"Could it be fake news?" Huo Yun guessed.
Everyone's eyes flickered. It was possible that the royal family deliberately released false news about attacking Taihua City, but actually attacked Tianyan City, catching them off guard.
"I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist." Ouyang Ye said in a deep voice: "You go down and make arrangements quickly, and I will inform the sect leader about this."
"Okay." Everyone nodded solemnly, and then left the pavilion together.
Not long after, Ouyang Ye came to the pavilion where Yang Jiuxiao and Qi Huan were. Yang Jiuxiao saw a deep meaning in his eyes. Ouyang Ye would not come here easily. It seemed that the royal family had taken action.
Qi Huan glanced at Ouyang Ye and guessed something. It was probably Qi Yue who took action.
"There was news in Taihua City just now that the royal family will attack Taihua City in a few days." Ouyang Ye sent a message to Yang Jiuxiao.
Yang Jiuxiao's pupils shrank slightly, without much fluctuation on his face, and he responded: "Send a message to Qianyuan Palace to let them prepare."
"Already ordered." Ouyang Ye replied.
"Has Muyang come out of seclusion?" Yang Jiuxiao asked again. Ouyang Ye came here once before and told him about Xiao Muyang's breakthrough in seclusion.
"not yet."
"Don't tell him this, let him practice in peace."
"I think so too." Ouyang Ye responded. Xiao Muyang was at a critical moment in his practice, so he could not be disturbed. With him and the sect leader in charge of Taihua City, nothing major could happen.
After chatting for a few more words, Ouyang Ye left the pavilion.
"Your goal has been achieved, why are you still unwilling to leave?" Yang Jiuxiao looked at Qi Huan and said calmly.
"Since you gave the order to expel guests, I will leave." Qi Huan replied, then stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Yang Jiuxiao and said, "I still say what I said, as long as Xiao Muyang is handed over, Dao Zong can still be Dao Zong."
"Please come back." Yang Jiuxiao said and closed his eyes.
Qi Huan didn't say anything more, and his figure instantly disappeared into the void, as if he had never appeared before.
...
In the central area of Qihuang City, a very prestigious restaurant is full of guests and business is very booming.
Restaurants have always been the place where news spreads the fastest, and this restaurant is located in the central area of Qihuang City, with a very large flow of people. You can find out about the important events of the Qi Dynasty here.
"I heard that the royal family plans to take action against Taihua City, Tianyan City and Wanyao Island. I wonder if the news is true." Someone said.
"It's probably not groundless. The royal family has not taken any action. It must be preparing for the battle. It has been quiet for a few months, and now it's time to take action." Another person responded.
"This battle should be the largest battle since the establishment of the Daqi Dynasty. Daozong, Qianyuan Palace and Wanyao Island are all the top forces. If the royal family wants to destroy these forces, it will probably have to pay a heavy price. "One person said with a solemn expression.
The crowd around them nodded. Although the battle hadn't started yet, they already felt a faint sense of urgency.
After this battle, the pattern of the Da Qi Dynasty will undergo tremendous changes.
And in a seat by the window, there was a middle-aged man sitting there alone. He was wearing a blue shirt, with regular features, handsome and handsome, and his temperament was also very outstanding. It was obvious at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
Listening to the sounds coming from around him, the middle-aged and young man gently shook the wine glass in his hand. There was a deep meaning in his dark eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, he got up and left the restaurant.
...
Deep inside the palace, outside a splendid palace, there was no one around, and it looked very quiet.
At a certain moment, there was a strong fluctuation in a space, and then a middle-aged figure appeared. He looked at the palace in front of him, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
Then he took steps towards the palace.
Arriving at the palace, a curtain hung in the center of the hall, with a rickety figure projected on it, which was none other than the emperor.
The middle-aged man stared at the rickety figure on the curtain, his calm heart finally stirred up a wave of disturbance, and his fists clenched unconsciously, seeming a little angry.
As if he had discovered the young man's arrival, the figure of the emperor on the curtain trembled suddenly, and then a voice that could not contain his excitement came from behind the curtain: "You are finally back!"
"Who did it?" the middle-aged man asked, his calm voice seeming to contain suppressed anger.
"As a father, I am satisfied that I can see you again before I die. You don't need to avenge me, just live the life you want." The emperor's voice came out again, and there seemed to be a sense of relief in his tone.
It turns out that this middle-aged man is the second prince, Qi Ke, who has left the palace for more than 20 years.
He is back.
"Is it the King of Yue or the Great Enshrinement?" Qi Ke asked again.
"Is this important to you?"
The Emperor spoke slowly: "In the past, you wanted to live a free and easy life and did not want to be bound by the imperial power. Now that you have gained your freedom, why bother getting involved again."
"After avenging you, I will leave." Qi Ke said. Although he has no interest in imperial power, he is not only a prince, but also a son of man. Avenging his father is what he must do.
Seemingly seeing Qi Ke's persistence, the Emperor sighed and said, "It's the King of Yue."
A flash of sharpness suddenly flashed in Qi Ke's eyes, and it turned out to be him.
"Now his strength has reached the highest level, and the five major worshipers are on his side. If you can't fight him, don't die in vain." The emperor advised, obviously not wanting Qi Ke to avenge him.
"Top grade supreme." Qi Ke's expression couldn't help but change. Is he so strong?
But then his expression returned to normal and he said: "I have my own sense of discretion and will see you again after a while."
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside, leaving the palace quietly without anyone noticing!
