In the Qingyun Mountain Range, the mountains were steep and the rocks were odd-shaped.
Su Changyu slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, he felt nauseous.
‘Damn it.’
‘Why is there always a problem with the array formation?’
When he was in the Great Qian Dynasty, the error occurred because he had moved the array disc.
However, he didn’t do anything this time.
‘Are the imperial array formations just capable of this?’
He wanted to vomit.
“Is this the Qingyun Mountain Range?”
Su Changyu looked at his surroundings and immediately recognized it.
“Okay, it’s not too bad, the position has merely shifted by a little.”
Although Su Changyu felt thankful, he would get lost again if it was a different place.
Just as he got up and headed towards the direction of the Qingyun Dao Sect, he discovered that something was amiss.
‘Where’s Ye Ping?’
‘Ye Ping was clearly with me, how did he go missing?’
‘Little Junior Brother.’
He called out intermittently in the mountains.
Su Changyu searched around, but he didn’t find any trace of Ye Ping’s whereabouts.
He knew that Ye Ping was probably lost and sent elsewhere by the Teleportation Array.
However, he thought that the problem shouldn’t be too severe since Ye Ping wasn’t like him who often got lost.
While thinking about it, Su Changyu returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect.
When he was close to the Qingyun Dao Sect, he felt a wave of Sword Qi spreading around.
That made him confused about what was going on.
‘Why is there residual Sword Qi in the Qingyun Dao Sect?’
‘I was not in the sect. Did someone practice swordsmanship and give off the Sword Qi?’
He walked into the Qingyun Dao Sect, only to realize that there was no one at all.
There was not a single soul.
That made him a little confused because his junior sisters and junior brothers didn’t like going down the mountain.
Even if Xiao Muxue and Wang Zhuoyu left, Daoist Tai Hua would stay in the sect. There had to be someone at home.
For some reason, Su Changyu had an ominous feeling.
He had been having a bad premonition some time ago.
He searched the entire Qingyun Dao Sect, but there was not a single soul, which made him feel more and more uneasy. He headed to the last possible place of the sect, the rear cliff.
Su Changyu quickly arrived at the rear cliff.
When he arrived, he was suddenly stunned.
He stared at the situation before him in shock and disbelief.
“Master!”
Su Changyu scurried over and looked at Daoist Tai Hua who was lying motionlessly on the cliff.
He picked up Daoist Tai Hua’s stiff body. The blood of his body seemed to have been washed away by the rain, and Su Changyu’s eyes were full of mania.
‘What’s going on?’
‘Why would Master die?’
Su Changyu’s brain was in chaos as he was full of disbelief.
He was raised by Daoist Tai Hua since he was a child, and Daoist Tai Hua was just like his father.
How could he accept seeing Daoist Tai Hua dead at this moment?
Su Changyu was no longer indifferent as his face was covered in misery and astonishment. After his cultivation level had increased, it was as if nothing could make his emotions fluctuate anymore.
At this moment, he could no longer be indifferent.
“Master!”
Su Changyu dragged Daoist Tai Hua’s corpse and roared into the sky while his feelings of misery spread throughout the mountain range.
Dragging the cold and stiff corpse, he stayed still while crystalline tears flowed and rolled down his cheeks gently.
During his trip out this time, he found his biological father, but he understood that the Qingyun Dao Sect was his home and that Daoist Tai Hua was akin to his father.
However, Ye Ping had been teleported to some other place by the array formation.
He didn’t know what happened to the Qingyun Dao Sect either. His Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers were not around while his master, Daoist Tai Hua, had turned into a cold corpse.
The memories he had in the Qingyun Dao Sect in the past and Daoist Tai Hua’s kind and benevolent face appeared in his mind.
Su Changyu sobbed miserably and hugged the cold corpse in his arms.
“Huh?”
His whistle was full of misery and endless murderous intent. His aura was like a wind that made the flowers and trees of the Qingyun Dao Sect and Qingyun Mountain shake. The leaves flew in the wind.
Su Changyu’s black hair seemed to have withered as it turned white.
He maintained the same action and dragged Daoist Tai Hua along quietly.
At this moment, there were two faint words beside Daoist Tai Hua.
“Heavenly fate.”
The two words were emitting a sanguine light.
In the next moment, two bloodied words shone at Su Changyu’s forehead.
At this moment, in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty arrived in the Crown Prince’s hall with unconcealed fury in his gaze.
Xia Qian was seated calmly because at this point, there was no longer anything that he was afraid of.
“Xia Qian!”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty hollered furiously while looking at the Crown Prince.
“Greetings, Father.”
Xia Qian got up and looked at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. His expression was calm and so was his voice as he did not show the slightest trace of panic.
“Don’t you have anything to say at this point?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked when he saw how calm Xia Qian was.
He was quite surprised because he didn’t expect Xia Qian to be so calm, which was unlike his usual self.
That made him even more furious because Xia Qian actually had the audacity to harm his beloved son while still remaining so calm.
“I don’t know what you mean, Father.”
Xia Qian said in a strangely calm tone. It was indescribably bizarre.
“Don’t you know what you’ve done? Why do you need me to tell you?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked in a cold voice.
“Please tell me, Father.”
Xia Qian continued.
“The array formation platform.”
Xia Qian clipped.
After he said that, it was dead silent in the Crown Prince’s hall.
Xia Qian said calmly while staring at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, “Father, you forced me into this.”
“If it weren’t for you, why would I have done such a thing?”
“Apart from the Tenth Prince, have you ever cared about me?”
“I know that you have never forgotten the Tenth Prince, and this position of the Crown Prince didn’t belong to me in the first place. I know you gave it to me only because the Tenth Prince went missing.”
“Since I ascended the position of the Crown Prince, I’ve been living in panic everyday and I couldn’t eat or sleep well.”
“The Tenth Prince is the only one I’m afraid of.”
“However, what I’m worried about has finally happened.”
Xia Qian said.
“Ridiculous.”
“This is absolutely ridiculous!”
“You’re making excuses for yourself!”
After hearing his words, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty rebuked him.
Indeed, the Crown Prince had a point. If not for the fact that Su Changyu, the Tenth Prince, had gone missing, Xia Qian wouldn’t have been the Crown Prince.
However, Xia Qian was already the Crown Prince.
He was the Crown Prince whom the emperor had conferred.
In this situation, Xia Qian’s words seemed to be unconvincing.
“Hah!”
Xia Qian sneered and continued, “Father, isn’t that what you think?”
“Do you dare to say that you didn’t have such thoughts after you traveled to the Qingyun Dao Sect and met the Tenth Prince?”
“Since you returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect, you’ve expressed your favoritism more than ever.”
“That day you took away my duties and rights to supervise the country, I remembered your words clearly. You asked me if I really thought that you wouldn’t dare to replace me as the Crown Prince.”
“At that time, I thought that I had done something wrong, but that was not the case.”
“This time, not only did you bring the Tenth Prince back to the palace, you even changed your mind and called off the marriage alliance between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Great Ze Dynasty because of his request.”
“Do you know how much effort I had put into this matter? Yet, you changed your mind because of the Tenth Prince and even reprimanded me.”
“If you’re already behaving like this now, what about in the future!?!”
“Will you also agree without hesitation if he wants to become the Crown Prince?”
“After all, this position belongs to him in the first place.”
Xia Qian sounded extremely aggrieved.
However, his voice was bizarrely calm.
“So, you decided to harm your brother because of this.”
“Aren’t you scared that I’ll strip you of your position!?!”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty asked with an expressionless face.
He knew that the Crown Prince would be aggrieved and develop that thought.
However, he never thought that the Crown Prince would have such intense thoughts that would spur him to kill his brother.
“I’m scared.”
“But Father, if you do that, what’s going to happen to the Great Xia Dynasty?”
Xia Qian looked at the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty with a terrifyingly calm gaze.
