Fu Yunshen flew up to the city wall, looking at the numerous spirit boats of the Haoran Sect.
In particular, he saw several Soul Transformation stage cultivators on the spirit boats, along with a vast number of other cultivators.
A cold light flashed in his eyes. Back then, it was these very people who had caused his parents' deaths. Did they really think he didn't know?
Seeing them arrive in the Xinghe Dynasty so openly now, he wondered if they were finally ready to make their move.
Meanwhile, Cui Dongshan, the Prime Minister who had just been dismissed by Fu Chen, stood watching the situation on the city wall with a smug expression, surrounded by his group of lackeys.
Their days of grievance and endurance were finally over!
“Haha... Nine Thousand Years has brought the people from the Haoran Sect. Fu Yunshen will have to behave himself now.”
“I will make my comeback immediately and reclaim my position as Prime Minister.”
“Congratulations, Prime Minister!”
“A joyous occasion indeed, Prime Minister!”
The lackeys behind him, who had endured alongside him, chimed in with their congratulations.
The smugness on Cui Dongshan’s face deepened. “Hmph... as for you three lackeys who sided with Fu Yunshen, you might as well wait for death!”
He shot a disdainful look at Li Busan, Li Busi, and Jiang Xubai.
“Exactly. In a moment, we’ll show you who really calls the shots in this Xinghe Dynasty...”
The people following him also stared mockingly at the three of them.
Jiang Xubai and those who sided with Fu Chen glared at Cui Dongshan and his group in anger.
If they hadn't lacked the evidence of these guys' crimes, they would have executed them right then and there.
Seeing how arrogant Cui Dongshan and his people were, Li Busan and Li Busi exchanged a glance.
They felt their short tempers flaring; they couldn't take this anymore.
Damn it, even if we have to die, we're taking some of them down with us.
Ugh... though we really don't want to die!
The senior seems so powerful, surely we won't die, right?
I just became the Prime Minister! My seat isn't even warm yet!
That damned dead eunuch, that piece of trash Nine Thousand Years, may he die a horrible death...
Ruining a man's future is as bad as killing his parents. This is an irreconcilable enmity!
While cursing silently in their hearts, their hands did not idle.
They pulled out a large pill bottle and began handing out pills to Jiang Xubai and the others.
“Eat up, eat up! Everyone take one...”
Though Jiang Xubai and the others didn't understand what kind of pill it was, they still reached out, took them, and popped them into their mouths.
Seeing the pearly white pills emitting a rich, herbal fragrance, Cui Dongshan and his lackeys grumbled, “Hmph, eating pills now? Do you think you can break through your cultivation and survive? Keep dreaming!”
Li Busan rolled his eyes and popped a pill into his own mouth, completely ignoring Cui Dongshan and his crowd.
Then, he reached into his storage bag again and pulled out a black pill bottle.
Next, he uncorked the bottle, and an even richer pill fragrance wafted out.
Immediately after, he poured out a rainbow of pills from the bottle—red, orange, yellow, green, blue...
Seeing the pills in his hand, Cui Dongshan and his men were stunned.
It was their first time seeing such vibrantly colored pills, and they wondered what their effects were.
At the thought that these pills were about to be consumed by Li Busan and his group, Cui Dongshan and his lackeys felt a pang of greed. Once Nine Thousand Years took power, they could just seize them.
Just as Cui Dongshan thought Li Busan and his partner were about to swallow them, he saw the two of them crush the pills in their hands.
This sight instantly dumbfounded Cui Dongshan and his men. What was going on?
Suddenly, Cui Dongshan’s eyes widened. “Oh no...”
“Pfft...”
His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Poison... You despicable villain, you actually used poison?”
He was a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse! To think he had been poisoned and ambushed by this shameless fellow.
Li Busan clapped his hands. “Look at you. You already knew I was a despicable villain, yet you didn't guard against me. Who else is there to blame?”
“Besides, I can't beat you in a straight fight. If I don't poison you, who else would I poison? Dumbass!”
Hearing this, Cui Dongshan was so enraged his eyes nearly split open.
“Pfft...!”
Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Cui Dongshan began bleeding from his seven facial orifices.
He opened his mouth, wanting to cry out to Ye Fan for help.
But before he could utter a word, his body tilted, and he collapsed to the ground, drawing his last breath.
Following him, the people behind him also collapsed and died one after another.
Every single one of them was bleeding from their seven orifices, a truly gruesome sight...
Seeing this, Li Busan, Jiang Xubai, and the others were utterly shocked.
This was a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse! To be poisoned to death just like that... wasn't his death a bit too anticlimactic?
“Where did you get these poison pills?” Jiang Xubai couldn't help but ask.
Li Busan looked down at the pills in his hand.
“The Great Sect Master gave them to me!”
He hadn't expected the poison pills Lu Ming gave him to be so potent either.
He had specifically asked Lu Ming for these pills.
After all, he lacked strength and didn't know how to fight.
So he had thought of asking Lu Ming for some poison pills to use for self-defense!
He just hadn't expected Lu Ming's poison pills to be so terrifyingly effective that they could even kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Muhahaha...
As expected, they were perfect for a despicable villain like him.
Li Busan and Li Busi looked at each other, both seeing the wicked intent in the other's eyes.
In the future, whoever dared to mess with their brotherhood would be poisoned to death.
Seeing their expressions, Jiang Xubai shuddered.
These two were too terrifying, and those pills were way too powerful.
But even more impressive was the Great Sect Master, who could actually refine such formidable pills.
...
Meanwhile, Lu Ming and the others had also received the news of the Haoran Sect's arrival.
“Little Chenchen, you stay here and be the Emperor. We can leave through the teleportation array. When those people come looking for us, just tell them we left a long time ago...” Lu Ming said with a smile as he looked at Fu Chen.
They had originally come here just to watch Fu Chen's coronation.
Now, they had not only witnessed his coronation but also healed his brother and even unearthed the hidden crisis beneath their imperial city.
It was time for them to depart.
“That's right, Little Chenchen. You have to be a good Emperor!” Big Yellow chimed in from the side, wagging its tail.
Right then, Fu Chen urged, “Don't worry, both Sect Masters. You should leave quickly!”
Hearing this, Lu Ming nodded.
Then, he turned and led everyone, preparing to step onto the teleportation array he had set up beforehand.
Watching Lu Ming and the others' departing backs, Fu Chen's eyes flickered as he thought to himself:
Great Sect Master, you all must live well. Those people are the ones who killed my parents back then.
They are likely here this time to destroy the Xinghe Dynasty.
My royal brother and I will fight to the death to protect the Xinghe Dynasty.
But I believe that once your cultivation levels increase in the future, you will definitely avenge me.
Seeing Lu Ming and the others step onto the teleportation array, Fu Chen wore a faint smile and waved his hand.
“Great Sect Master, Second Sect Master, and fellow disciples, take care...”
Lu Ming, who was about to activate the teleportation array, suddenly froze.
“Something's not right!”
Big Yellow looked up at him in confusion. “What is it?”
Wang Defa and the others also looked at Lu Ming with curiosity.
Lu Ming suddenly looked up and said, “Fu Chen smiled...”
“So what if he smiled...”
Big Yellow, who was in the middle of speaking, also suddenly snapped its head up.
“You're right! That kid actually smiled so nicely just now... There's definitely something going on.”
Ever since Fu Chen had joined them, he had never smiled.
Seeing Lu Ming and his group step off the teleportation array,
Fu Chen became a bit anxious. “Why did you all come back down?”
Lu Ming stared intently at Fu Chen. “Speak. What are you hiding from me?”
“Nothing!”
Fu Chen pinched the corner of his sleeve, whispering.
“Speak!”
Lu Ming bellowed.
Anyone could tell this guy was hiding something.
Fu Chen shuddered in fear and muttered, “Great Sect Master, please don't be angry. It's like this... my royal brother told me that when my parents met with disaster back then, it was highly likely the doing of the Haoran Sect and the others...”
