Black smoke rushed out and transformed into the image of a majestic and terrifying emperor.
Rumble!
An angry roar reverberated afterwards.
The pressure coming from the emperor’s phantom was so strong that everyone couldn’t believe the scene in front of them.
When Princess Yulin witnessed the turn of events, she was furious. “As expected, there’s a traitor in our ranks! That traitor harmed Brother Emperor!”
Sai Huatuo hurriedly pointed with his finger and shouted. “That is King Xian’s parasite! We were right!”
“Cordon the surroundings. No one is allowed to leave. Those who dare to do so will be killed without mercy!” The Cabinet Chief acted decisively. His aged body erupted with a powerful and imposing aura as he gave an order to control the situation.
In the chamber, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the two princes, the palace maids, and the eunuchs all retreated and observed silently from the side.
Only Monk Fusan and the unconscious Emperor De were left in the chamber.
Furious, Monk Fusan took a deep breath and angrily rebuked, “This person is being protected by me—Lord Buddha! I don’t care who the person behind you is. I have no business being afraid of those who only know how to hide in the dark…”
“Hurry up and come out!”
“Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Monk Fusan was truly furious.
If anything happened to Emperor De, he would be betraying his promise to that senior.
Even with his gentle personality, he directly addressed himself as Lord Buddha.
A perfect display of his confidence against his enemy.
Once Lord Buddha was angered, it was hard to say whether his opponent would live or die!
“What a bold bald donkey…”
“You even dare to offend King Xian?”
“You are simply too audacious!”
“King Xian has taken a fancy to the body of this human emperor and wants to use his corpse to return to the world of the living from the netherworld. He wants to create another god dynasty in the mortal realm to restore the glory of the Ancient Dian Dynasty.”
Black smoke billowed as the condensed phantom continued its rant.
“The place where you are standing right now is the territory of a god dynasty in the mortal realm!” Princess Yulin rebuked angrily.
She used her finger as a sword as sword energy surged all over her body.
Her sword domain spread out, augmenting her already powerful strength.
She was already not far from the Boundless Realm.
“A god dynasty? Made by monkeys?”
The phantom looked at Princess Yulin and the others in disdain.
“I, Princess Yulin, hereby swear that if anyone from the Ancient Dian Dynasty dares to come into being within the confines of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s, they will be executed on sight…”
“No matter where the Ancient Dian Dynasty attempts to rebuild, the Yuhua God Dynasty will travel thousands of miles to invade and destroy its remnants.”
“Today, the Ancient Dian Dynasty dared to play so dirty against Emperor De…”
“Since that’s the case, there will no longer be a place for you people in this world!”
Princess Yulin coldly announced.
As soon as her words came out, the court officials of the Yuhua God Dynasty became excited and echoed in excitement.
The Cabinet Chief said decisively, “The Princess is right!”
“There’s no place for you people in this world anymore!”
“There’s no place for you people in this world anymore!”
“There’s no place for you people in this world anymore!”
…
The court officials, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager firmly supported Princess Yulin.
“You dare?!” The phantom was both furious and astounded.
It didn’t expect Princess Yulin to be so domineering and decisive.
Since the Ancient Dian Dynasty wanted to reestablish itself and even wanted to borrow Emperor De’s body to let King Xian return from his grave…
Then Princess Yulin would directly destroy the Ancient Dian Dynasty in retaliation.
Emperor De’s reforms and actions over the years had obviously been too shocking for everyone. If not for his genius, why would the Ancient Dian Dynasty even take interest in his body as a possible vessel for their king’s return to this mortal realm?
Wasn’t it all because Emperor De was not only wise, and smart, but the aura of destiny on him was also simply too powerful?
“Back then, both the Ancient Dian Dynasty and King Xian were invincible existences that reigned over the world. It’s Emperor De’s luck that his body would house the great and invincible soul of King Xian…”
“Yet, you lot actually dare to be so ungrateful?!” The phantom rebuked.
“Bhante, there’s no need for us to talk to this fanatic…”
“No matter how powerful his King Xian was, his journey ended in the previous era…”
“You have already been abandoned by the previous era, yet you still want to struggle for a comeback in this brand-new era. You people are simply desperate and shameless.”
Princess Yulin coldly retorted.
She couldn’t be bothered to listen to the phantom’s words anymore.
Monk Fusan nodded.
His expression turned serious and he took a step forward.
Behind him, a Buddhist Kingdom appeared.
“Amitabha!”
Monk Fusan pressed his palms together and exclaimed a Buddhist proclamation as Buddhist light wrapped both Emperor De and the phantom inside.
In the Buddhist Kingdom, the images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas immediately appeared to suppress the phantom.
The phantom’s expression changed.
It hurriedly retreated into Emperor De’s body.
“Just you wait! King Xian will definitely obtain this human emperor’s body. This time, King Xian will make a successful return to the mortal realm. You won’t be able to stop him!”
The phantom put on a brave front, not daring to fight Monk Fusan head-on.
He used Emperor De’s body as a protective umbrella to protect himself and prevent the parasite—which was also the foundation of his existence—from being destroyed.
Monk Fusan didn’t dare to hurt Emperor De’s body.
He looked at Princess Yulin helplessly.
“He’s afraid that we might successfully destroy the parasite which is his raison d’etre inside Emperor De’s body. He’s now in hiding and I have no way of forcing him to come out. This stalemate is dangerous for us. This cannot continue.”
Monk Fusan solemnly explained with a hint of helplessness on his old face.
“The parasite will eventually take complete control of Emperor De and devour his sea of consciousness. By then, Emperor De will truly become King Xian’s mortal body!”
Sai Huatuo also stepped forward and warned.
Everyone immediately looked at Princess Yulin.
What should they do now?
“Bhante, is there really no solution at all?” Princess Yulin calmed down and asked Monk Fusan.
Monk Fusan thought for a while. “I don’t have a solution, but I know someone who definitely has a solution for this.”
Princess Yulin’s eyes narrowed.
She knew who Monk Fusan was talking about.
Big Grand-Uncle!
Lin Jiufeng!
Princess Yulin finally understood why Monk Fusan helped Emperor De.
It turned out that Big Grand-Uncle truly had a hand on this matter.
“Do you know where he is?” Princess Yulin asked.
“I don’t know.” Monk Fusan shook his head.
Princess Yulin didn’t know either.
She looked at the unconscious Emperor De and the expectant gazes around her.
All of a sudden, Princess Yulin found it hard to endure the pressure coming from their gazes.
But in the end, she could not possibly run away from her responsibility.
“Pass down the order!”
Everyone was rejuvenated as they stared at Princess Yulin.
What order?
“Let the world know that Emperor De is currently suffering from the effect of a parasite caused by the remnants of the Ancient Dian Dynasty. Tell the world that Emperor De is critically ill and in a state of comatose…”
“The world must also know that the Ancient Dian Dynasty is now the Yuhua God Dynasty’s mortal enemy! Every remnant of the Ancient Dian Dynasty must be captured and immediately escorted to the Imperial Capital!”
“Pass down these orders, no more, no less!” Princess Yulin declared.
When her words fell, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Princess, isn’t it a little risky to announce Emperor De’s situation?” The Cabinet Chief asked.
“Once the news of Emperor De’s plight comes out, those ambitious sects and people will definitely attempt to take advantage of the situation,” a court official said solemnly.
“Your order will cause turmoil in the Yuhua God Dynasty.”
“It will directly throw the world into an uproar.”
The court officials objected.
They couldn’t understand why Princess Yulin would give such an order.
Only Monk Fusan seemed to be in deep thought.
He seemed to have realized why Princess Yulin was passing down such an order.
“Yulin, what’s your objective in announcing the news of your brother’s current plight to the world?” The Empress Dowager asked solemnly.
The others also looked at Princess Yulin.
They all wanted to know what she was thinking.
Why was she trying to do such a thing?
Princess Yulin replied softly.
“I’m not planning on announcing Brother Emperor’s plight to the world just because I want the world to know about his current situation—”
“—I want that person to know!”
“That person?” The Empress Dowager was dumbfounded.
“Yes, that person!”
“He’s the only person who can change the world and he is also the guardian deity of our Yuhua God Dynasty!” Princess Yulin added.
As usual—she placed Lin Jiufeng—who was both her Teacher Master and her Big Grand-Uncle in high regard.
