"Killing the father, killing the king, and secretly preparing the emperor's edict to usurp the throne. This is the whole plan that the second prince told me. I am only responsible for the implementation. Everything was arranged by the second prince and Hua Yuansheng!"
Every word spoken by Protector Leng of the Soul Sacrifice Hall made the face of National Master Hua Yuansheng look even more ugly.
Especially when the last sentence was finished, Hua Yuansheng's entire face became distorted.
The jade Ruyi in his hand made a crunching sound because of too much force, as if it might be broken by Hua Yuansheng at any time.
At this time, the faces of the people around him were equally ugly.
Especially the high priest, his clenched fists and fingernails were deeply embedded in his palms, and blood was dripping from his fists.
That old face was full of pain and disbelief.
When the late emperor was still young, he had already entered the palace and followed his master, who was the previous high priest of the empire.
When the high priest retired, he took over as the high priest.
position.
Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, he has been in the palace for decades!
It can be said that he watched the late emperor grow up, watched the late emperor ascend the throne, and watched the late emperor rule the country of Great Xia.
For decades, the relationship between him and the late emperor was unparalleled.
When the late emperor passed away, he was more sad than anyone else!
He thought that there might be a hidden reason behind the emperor's death, and he also thought that it might be the second prince's fault.
But he never dared to think too much!
The second prince is the late emperor’s biological son!
The late emperor was a wise man, but he died at the hands of his own son!
Sad, deplorable, and hateful!
"Killing your father and king, drafting a posthumous edict in private, this is treason! The second prince deserves to die, Hua Yuansheng, you deserve to die even more!!"
The high priest pointed at Hua Yuansheng, his face was ferocious, his gray robes moved seamlessly, and those who flicked the robes were filled with anger!
Anger that reaches the sky!
"What a great second prince, what a great Imperial Master Hua Yuansheng!!"
The old man Jiu was also furious, and even the hand holding the wine gourd was trembling slightly.
The late emperor, he taught it with his own hands, and he taught it for twenty years!
The master-disciple relationship that lasted for more than 20 years, even though we haven't seen each other for decades, is still very deep.
Now, he died due to the joint efforts of his son and Xiao Xiao!
Even Saint Tianxing had a sigh in his eyes, but he didn't say much.
Worldly things are no longer in his eyes.
The Imperial Guard Commander Blade and the five thousand Imperial Guards were all shaken by this news.
Their emperor was actually killed!
Moreover, the person who killed the emperor was the emperor’s most trusted son and national advisor!
They couldn't believe that the news was true!
In the entire void, the only person who is calmest is Gu Chen.
Of course, this was not because of anything else, but because he already knew the truth after getting the soul flag from the cold protector of the Soul Sacrifice Hall.
Because in this soul flag, he saw a soul!
The soul of the emperor of the Great Xia Empire!
Although he has never seen the emperor of the Daxia Empire, he can almost see statues of emperors in the major cities of the Daxia Empire!
It was precisely because of this that he recognized the emperor's soul at a glance!
However, he did not make any announcement.
This is not what he means, but what the emperor's soul means!
Although the emperor's soul didn't say much to Gu Chen, Gu Chen knew very well what the emperor was thinking.
Gu Chen knew the feeling of being betrayed by the person he trusted the most.
This will also make it impossible to trust anyone anymore.
The emperor obviously wanted to take this opportunity to see who was the most worthy of his trust!
"I've said it all! I've said it all! Let me go. As long as you let me go, I promise that the Soul Sacrifice Hall will never step into the Daxia Empire again..."
"Buzz!"
Before the cold protector of the Soul Sacrifice Hall could finish his words, the power of Ji Tian Burning Spiritual Flame suddenly increased several times, completely annihilating his soul into nothingness in an instant!
The sound stopped suddenly!
After obliterating Protector Leng of the Soul Sacrifice Hall, Gu Chen's gaze directly pointed at the Great Xia Imperial Master Hua Yuansheng: "Now, it's your turn."
A faint word, a pair of indifferent eyes.
Hua Yuansheng's whole body couldn't help but tremble.
But soon, he calmed down again.
The Imperial Master of Daxia was the most powerful man in the empire and one of the highest-ranking people.
After practicing for hundreds of years, I have experienced countless storms.
In front of him, the matter was revealed, and although he became the target of public criticism, he believed that he was not in despair yet!
Even if he really reaches a desperate situation in the end, he is not a young boy who is qualified to judge him!
"Gu Chen, if I guess correctly, you, like the people in the Soul Sacrifice Hall, want the imperial seal, right?"
"It's just that the second prince chose to cooperate with the Soul Sacrifice Palace, and the third prince chose to cooperate with you. Am I right?"
Gu Chen did not deny it and said, "So what?"
"Hahaha, what a difference! You are the Emperor's Jade Seal, and the Soul Sacrifice Palace is also the Emperor's Jade Seal. What's the difference between you and the people in the Soul Sacrifice Palace?"
Hua Yuansheng shouted angrily: "Since we are all the same people, don't accuse me from the moral high ground! You are not worthy and do not have the qualifications!"
Hua Yuansheng looked at Gu Chen coldly. If it weren't for Saint Tianxing here, Gu Chen wouldn't be qualified to talk to him.
He looked sharply at the commander of the guards, Dao Feng, and shouted: "Commander Dao Feng, now the crown prince has been decided, and he will be crowned emperor in the near future. As long as you are willing to follow His Highness the crown prince, when the crown prince ascends the throne, you will be the most powerful general in the world. !”
"Have you not always wanted to lead an army to conquer Tianming? Now the opportunity is given to you!"
"Are you willing?"
Hua Yuansheng shouted, causing the imperial guards to hesitate for a moment.
At present, the prince has killed his father and the king, and his position is unfair, and he will be condemned by the people of the world.
But this is also an opportunity for him!
As long as he stood firmly by the prince's side at this time and stabilized his position.
When the prince succeeded to the throne, his achievements were not even worse than those of Hua Yuansheng.
The world will truly have a place for his sword.
But if he chooses to remove the prince, then the only option left is the third prince.
But obviously, the credit for supporting the third prince cannot be his!
At least, the status of the high priest, the old man Jiu, and Gu Chen were all firmly in his favor.
Now, it's his time to choose.
Having five thousand imperial cavalry in his hands is his capital and the basis for determining the future direction of the world!
No matter who he supports, he will become the emperor!
This is his capital!
Right now, it can be said that the only obstacle and uncertainty is Saint Tianxing!
His eyes also subconsciously looked at Saint Tianxing.
"Sage Tianxing will not participate in any power struggle. The battle between the palace prince and the emperor is also a power struggle. This is the principle that Saint Tianxing has always adhered to!"
While speaking, Hua Yuansheng looked directly at Saint Tianxing and said, "Am I right? Saint Tianxing?"
Saint Tianxing nodded: "Yes!"
Not participating in power struggles is not the title of saint.
But his identity, the man from Chongyun Tower!
Chongyun Tower is a commercial force in itself, a business empire that spans the entire Yuan Continent!
As a business force, we must not participate in any power struggle.
This is the foundation of Chongyun Tower and the fundamental reason why Chongyun Tower can become a business empire!
It cannot be broken!
"I won't participate in the power struggle, but if I want to protect someone, it's still okay."
