Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

After Liang Huang dismissed the Prime Minister and Duke, he sat alone in the imperial study, silent for a long time.

Originally, dealing with the Prince of Qin, although not easy, was not too difficult.

If it weren't for the consideration of national power loss, it would even be a very easy thing.

Who knew, Yuan Chu would suddenly appear.

This direct disciple from the Jinyun Immortal Sect, his status and the power behind him are extraordinary.

Moreover, Yuan Chu is not just an ordinary direct disciple from a top-tier Dao lineage.

With his sixteenth-grade peerless talent, he must be highly valued by the higher-ups within the Jinyun Immortal Sect.

In a nutshell, Yuan Chu's backing is too strong.

“I don't know if the next plan will succeed, but even if it does, it is difficult to guarantee that the ultimate goal can be achieved.

I must never place my hopes entirely on others, otherwise, once I fail, there will be no way out.

A monarch's strategy should be comprehensive, leaving a way out for oneself; if one path is blocked, there are other paths to take!

In this direction, I cannot afford to lose, nor can I afford to lose!”

Liang Huang pondered to himself, a touch of determination gradually appearing in his deep eyes.

He had already made a decision in his heart.

“Come out!”

“Your Majesty Liang Huang!”

A black shadow manifested from the corner, walked to Liang Huang and nodded slightly.

“Go and contact your master.” Liang Huang took out a dark red jade talisman from his storage ring and threw it to the black shadow, “When you see your master, tell him that I agree to cooperate with you and provide me with the method to break through as soon as possible!”

“Liang Huang, have you really made up your mind? I hope you sincerely cooperate with us, and not just because of that Yuan Chu.”

“My mind is made up, and it is sincere. Go quickly.”

“Very good, Your Majesty Liang Huang has finally figured it out.

In this special era, this special period, Liang Huang, you have made the most correct decision, and also the wisest choice.

In the future, we will help you realize the grand ambitions in your heart, and your Great Liang will also embark on a path of glory that you never dared to imagine before!”

The black shadow was completely shrouded in a black robe, the hood of which covered his head, and his face was covered with a black scarf, revealing only his cold eyes.

After the black shadow finished speaking, he disappeared into the imperial study.

“In this world, no one can stop my progress!

Not even a direct disciple of the Jinyun Immortal Sect!

Relying on others is ultimately not as good as relying on oneself!

I want to become stronger, strong enough, incomparably strong, sweeping away everything, and being the only one supreme!”

Liang Huang's eyes revealed domineering and hatred, his expression became extremely cold, his hands clenched tightly, and his knuckles cracked.

“Someone, come!”

“Your Majesty!”

Another man in black appeared, but his aura was clearly different from the previous man in black.

“Give this to Champion Marquis Chi Ren, and be sure to deliver it to him personally.

Remember, do not reveal your whereabouts on this trip, and do not let anyone know that you have gone to find him except for Chi Ren!”

“Yes!”

The man in black took a token and a small bottle of blood color from Liang Huang's hand, put them away, and withdrew from the imperial study, disappearing into the night.

“Come on, let’s see who can laugh last; I am the one who is truly destined by heaven!”

Liang Huang muttered to himself, then got up, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the imperial study.

The chief eunuch at the door silently followed beside him.

After walking for a while, the chief eunuch felt that something was wrong; this path was not the way back to the bedroom, but the direction to Yaohua Palace.

“Your Majesty, aren’t you going back to the bedroom to rest?”

“It has been a long time since I visited my imperial sister; recently, many things have happened, and I feel troubled, so I will talk to my imperial sister.

Later, you will guard outside Yaohua Palace and not allow anyone to approach.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The chief eunuch did not dare to say more.

However, he was curious as to why His Majesty was going to Yaohua Palace to find the Eldest Princess so late at night; what was the matter?

Of course, he would not believe that His Majesty was only feeling troubled and wanted to confide in the Eldest Princess.

As the chief eunuch beside His Majesty, he knew very well that the relationship between His Majesty and the Eldest Princess was not good.

Their relationship was barely passable in the past, but after His Majesty decided to target the Prince of Qin's mansion, the Eldest Princess began to distance herself from His Majesty, and it was feared that the last bit of affection had been exhausted.

Before long, Liang Huang arrived at Yaohua Palace. The palace maids couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Liang Huang and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel and greet him.

“His Majesty has something to discuss with the Eldest Princess; you may all withdraw.”

The chief eunuch said.

The palace maids looked embarrassed.

“Withdraw.”

At this time, the Eldest Princess's voice came out, “I wonder what brings Imperial Brother here so late at night.”

“Why is Imperial Sister so estranged from Imperial Brother?

Won't you let me in to sit down?”

“You are the Emperor, how dare Imperial Sister deceive you; Imperial Brother, please come in.”

Liang Wan'er's voice was calm and intellectual.

She was also a little strange at this time that Imperial Brother would come to her in the middle of the night.

With his nature of not visiting the Three Treasures Hall without a reason, he must be seeking something; otherwise, he would never do so.

Besides, she and Liang Huang seemed to be siblings, but in fact, there was not much affection between them at all, so he could not possibly be here to see her.

“Guard it.”

Liang Huang said to the chief eunuch beside him.

Immediately, he stepped into Yaohua Palace.

The Eldest Princess had already come to the hall from the bedroom.

“Imperial Sister, it has been some time since we last met; how has Imperial Sister been recently?”

After Liang Huang came in, he glanced around and sat down casually.

He didn't wait for the Eldest Princess to salute him; he also knew that the Eldest Princess would not salute him when there were no outsiders present.

“Imperial Brother, you don't visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason; if you have something to say, please say it directly.”

Liang Wan'er didn't want to listen to his roundabout words and cut straight to the point.

“Imperial Sister, Imperial Brother has come here today because there is indeed a very important matter.

This matter concerns our Great Liang's state affairs and the survival of the royal family.

Imperial Sister must also know about the events that have occurred in the imperial city recently.”

“I know something about it; I wonder what Imperial Brother is specifically referring to?”

“I am referring to the matter of Yuan Chu, the direct disciple of Jinyun.

Imperial Sister knows what Yuan Chu has done, relying on the support of the Jinyun Immortal Sect behind him, it can be said that he is lawless and does whatever he wants.

This person acts too casually and has no regard for our royal family, injuring your nephew and publicly humiliating him.

At the meeting to receive the envoys from the three countries, he even directly interfered in the affairs of my Great Liang.

If this continues, our royal family will be very passive.”

Liang Wan'er listened to Liang Huang's words, elegantly took a sip of tea, and wondered in her heart what he wanted to do.

He came to her in the middle of the night to talk about Yuan Chu's affairs; did he think that she could help him deal with Yuan Chu?

“Has Imperial Brother ever considered why Yuan Chu would do this?

If it wasn't for the Great Prince going to the Prince of Qin's mansion to make trouble, would he have done so?

Princess Anping is his fiancée; it is understandable that he stands on the side of the Prince of Qin's mansion.

This does not conflict with the interests of Great Liang.

As long as Imperial Brother no longer targets the Prince of Qin's mansion in the future, Yuan Chu will probably not take any further action, right?”

“Who can guarantee this?

Yuan Chu must have learned many things during his time in my Great Liang Imperial City.

He must have resentment towards me in his heart.

If we only stop targeting the Prince of Qin's mansion, I'm afraid it won't be safe.

I came here to ask Imperial Sister to help me find a safe path.

Imperial Sister is a member of the royal family and should know that I cannot afford to lose, and the royal family cannot afford to lose.

If I lose, the entire royal family will be doomed!”

Liang Wan'er heard this, did not look at Liang Huang, still held the teacup, elegantly sipping tea, and said calmly: “What does Imperial Brother want me to do? With my ability, how can I find a safe path for Imperial Brother?”

“Imperial Sister, you have cultivated for thousands of years; don't you find this path of immortality boring?

Imperial Sister, you are still unmarried today, and I think it is time to find a good match.

Well, Yuan Chu is an excellent choice.

He himself has extraordinary talent, a sixteenth-grade genius, and few in the world can compare to him; he is also a direct disciple of the Jinyun Immortal Sect and is deeply valued by the Jinyun high-level, with limitless prospects.”

Hearing this, Liang Wan'er was somewhat shocked in her heart.

She never thought that Imperial Brother would come here for such a purpose.

She put the teacup on the table, looked at Liang Huang with deep eyes, and said calmly, “Imperial Brother, you don't have to say it so euphemistically; Imperial Brother, don't you just want me to use my beauty to bewitch Yuan Chu?”

Liang Huang's face was slightly embarrassed, “Imperial Sister, your words are a bit harsh; love between men and women, affection between children, this is human nature.

Although Anping is already by Yuan Chu's side, there is also a woman named Su Qingqian, but they are not married.

If the man is not married and the woman is not married, what is wrong with you and Yuan Chu?

He is so excellent that he will not wrong you.

Your appearance and temperament are not weaker than Anping.

Anping is the most beautiful woman in the Northwest Region in the last hundred years, but Imperial Sister is the most beautiful woman in the entire Northwest Region of the previous generation.

Yuan Chu can fall in love with Anping at first sight, and he will inevitably be unable to resist your charm.

Although the motive is impure at first, as long as you have affection for each other in the future and treat each other sincerely, it will be beautiful.

In this way, for your sake, Yuan Chu will not embarrass our royal family, and may even help our royal family at a critical moment.

Imperial Sister, you are a child of the royal family and should think about the future of the entire royal family.

I really don't want to embarrass you, but now I really have no other way.”

“I will not agree to this!”

Liang Wan'er looked at Liang Huang coldly, “If I, Liang Wan'er, want to choose a man, I will never approach him with such a motive!

I am a child of the royal family, that's right, but that doesn't mean I am a bargaining chip for you to use and sacrifice!”

“Imperial Sister, are you really not considering the future of the royal family?

If that day comes, the royal family is destroyed, and no eggs are left intact under the overturned nest; you, the Eldest Princess, will also find it difficult to stay out of it.

"I can promise you that as long as you are willing to approach Yuan Chu, win his favor, and make him fall in love with you, I will never target Prince Qin again!"

"Royal Brother, there's no need to say more. Please leave. Your royal sister is a little tired and wants to rest."

Liang Wan'er stood up, flicked her sleeve, and directly issued an order to leave.

The Liang Emperor's face was unsightly, and he hesitated.

In the end, he didn't say anything more, got up, and left.

Watching the Liang Emperor's disappearing figure, Liang Wan'er knew that this matter would not end simply because of her verbal refusal.

She understood this royal brother too well; he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Tomorrow, I'm afraid it won't be the royal brother who comes to find her, but the Emperor.

She had already anticipated that he would ask the Emperor to pressure her.

"I wonder what schemes he still has in mind..."

In her heart, Liang Wan'er didn't actually reject the Liang Emperor's suggestion to use a beauty trap.

However, she couldn't easily agree, otherwise, the naturally suspicious Liang Emperor would suspect her, as it didn't align with her personality.

This matter would eventually have to be agreed to. When the time came, she would inform Yuan Chu and feign compliance with the Liang Emperor to see what he was really up to.

Based on her understanding of the Liang Emperor, having reached this point, he couldn't possibly place all his hopes on her.

He wasn't that kind of person; he must have other plans.

And the plans she was unaware of might be his greatest reliance.

Liang Wan'er felt uneasy if she didn't figure this out.

She knew what kind of person her royal brother was. For the sake of his imperial power, he could sacrifice everything and become very crazy.

...

At the same time, in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

A steward was reporting news to the chief steward.

The chief steward frowned slightly. "Did you find any useful information this time?"

"Reporting to the chief steward, no. The aura was too mysterious. It only appeared for a brief moment in the palace, and then it disappeared without a trace, making it impossible to track."

"Hmm, it seems the Liang Emperor has a mysterious force helping him.

Last time, when I sensed that wisp of aura, I thought it was just a coincidence, after all, it hadn't appeared for several years.

I didn't expect it to reappear today.

It seems that the appearance of Young Master Yuan Chu has driven the Liang Emperor to desperation.

Besides this, does the Liang Emperor have any other movements?"

"Yes, after the Liang Emperor returned to the palace, he entered the Imperial Study and summoned the Prime Minister and the Duke, but the content of their discussion is unknown.

However, not long after those officials left, one of the secret guard generals cultivated by the Liang Emperor secretly left the palace. We followed him for a distance, but we don't know his destination yet.

After that, the Liang Emperor went to the Yao Hua Palace of the Eldest Princess and didn't stay long, coming out after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"Closely monitor the palace to see if that mysterious aura will reappear.

If it reappears, try to find some useful information.

Go to the treasure vault and retrieve the tracking secret treasure; it might be helpful.

You may leave."

"Yes."

The steward withdrew.

"The situation in the world is already turbulent.

What force is secretly contacting the Liang Emperor? They are so capable that even we can't track them..."

The chief steward's expression was solemn, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

Now, there are variables in Young Master Yuan Chu's plan to deal with the Great Liang imperial family.

The imperial family itself poses no threat to the young master, but the sudden appearance of this force is different.

Compared to the Floating World Three Thousand, it's unknown how strong this force is.

But it shouldn't be weaker than the Floating World Three Thousand, otherwise, it wouldn't have such superb concealment techniques.

"Based on the current situation, that mysterious force had already contacted the Liang Emperor several years ago.

Then, their initial goal should have been to control the Great Liang Dynasty and use it for their own purposes.

But now, Young Master Yuan Chu has appeared; I wonder if he will become the target of that mysterious force."

The chief steward still had doubts in his heart. The current situation was unclear, and he knew very little about that mysterious force.

He only knew that there was a mysterious force in contact with the Liang Emperor; he knew nothing else.

"I must inform the young master about this..."

Thinking this, he took out the jade slip.

...

At the same time, in Prince Qin's mansion, in Jun Wuxie's bedroom.

He and his senior sister, Jinse, were lying on the bed discussing the affairs of the Three Kingdoms and the Liang Emperor when he suddenly received a message from the chief steward of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

The chief steward told him in detail the information he had learned.

"Young Master, you must be careful. You are now facing not only the Liang Emperor but also the mysterious force behind him.

The Liang Emperor is obsessed with power, and the appearance of the young master has caused him a great sense of crisis regarding his imperial power.

Therefore, he will never sit still and wait for death but will only launch a frantic counterattack."

"I am aware and will deal with it accordingly. There is no need to worry."

Jun Wuxie replied and then put away the jade slip.

"Senior Sister, the trip to Great Liang is becoming more and more interesting.

The Floating World Three Thousand has appeared, and now there is another mysterious force."

"Isn't that more interesting? What should appear will always appear slowly."

Jinse said casually, but her words had a deeper meaning.

Jun Wuxie naturally heard it, but he didn't ask further.

With Senior Sister's abilities, she naturally knew the origin of that mysterious force.

But he wouldn't ask; it was more interesting to dig it out little by little.

Relying on Senior Sister's Emperor Realm power to obtain information would damage his own karma.

Besides, this was his challenge, and he had to complete it himself.
