Chapter 322 The Yuanxu Emperor Is Furious And Ruyi Scepter Is In Danger
The Yuanxu Dynasty.
Above the Great Hall.
When the ministers heard that Duan Ming had gone to the Ruyi Scepter Dynasty and explained how powerful the Changqing Alliance was, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Destroying immortals with ease? If the Changqing Alliance is really that powerful, wouldn't they have already unified the Immortal World?"
"It's a joke. I used to think that there was something powerful behind the God Dream Dynasty, but it turns out they are just a group of clowns who only know how to boast and show off!"
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! The news from the Second Prince this time is indeed important. Your Majesty, I think it's time to recall the Second Prince. Such talent can only be fully utilized within the dynasty!"
The ministers echoed one after another, praising Song Tiancheng in their words.
When he heard his son being praised like this, Song Aochang also had a smile on his face.
Song Tiancheng was his most talented son, and his strength was almost catching up to his own. If he were to abdicate in the future, he could completely entrust the foundation to this son without worry.
Just as they were talking, a figure suddenly flew in from outside the hall at high speed and landed, looking panicked. "Your Majesty... something bad has happened. The Second Prince's soul lamp has gone out!"
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at this person in disbelief. Someone shouted angrily, "Nonsense! The Second Prince just communicated with Your Majesty. How could his soul lamp go out?"
"How dare you curse the Second Prince! Such audacity!"
"Guards, drag this person who spreads false rumors out and execute him!"
Immediately, a guard wearing spirit armor flashed in from outside the hall and directly attacked this person, flipping him over and preparing to drag him out.
"How could I make up something like this? Spare me, Your Majesty--"
With so many experts in the hall watching, this person didn't dare to resist, but still shouted loudly in unwillingness.
"Wait!"
Song Aochang waved his hand and stared coldly at this person. "Where is the Second Prince's soul lamp?"
The ministers had acted too quickly earlier, and this person didn't have time to take out the soul lamp. Now, he quickly summoned a soul lamp with a sparkling and translucent cover from his storage ring.
There was no sign of damage to the cover, but the wick inside had already gone out.
This kind of soul lamp was a special magic treasure that extracted the Primordial Spirit of a cultivator. No matter where the person was, as long as their Primordial Spirit perished, the corresponding soul lamp would also go out.
Upon seeing this scene, a gasp filled the Great Hall, and everyone's eyes showed an expression of disbelief.
Everyone recognized the Second Prince's soul lamp, which still had a trace of Song Tiancheng's Primordial Spirit imprint that had not completely faded.
But... how was this possible!
It must be known that the Second Prince was a fifth-level Heavenly Venerable in the Self Union stage, and he possessed powerful treasures that could withstand even a late-stage Self Union expert. Even if the other three Self Union Heavenly Venerables of the Ruyi Scepter Dynasty joined forces, the Second Prince would have a good chance of escaping. At the very least, his Primordial Spirit should have been able to escape back. How could he die for no reason?
Moreover, with the Second Prince's status, even if the Ruyi Scepter Dynasty was bold, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him, as they would face the wrath of the entire Yuanxu Dynasty.
"Tiancheng... Tiancheng!"
Song Aochang's eyes also showed an incredulous expression, but the fact was right in front of him. The soul lamp couldn't be faked, and he couldn't help but believe it.
"Who is it exactly! Who killed Gou'er!" Song Aochang's anger reached its peak, and a terrifying surge of Spirit Power instantly erupted. Except for the dragon throne he was sitting on and the ministers around him, everything else in the hall was instantly crushed into powder.
The ministers were silent, their hearts filled with doubt. Could it be true that the Ruyi Scepter Dynasty had the audacity to kill the Second Prince?
"Jiang Ruyi Scepter! It must be that woman, Jiang Ruyi Scepter!"
Song Aochang danced in frenzy, his eyes filled with chilling light as he roared, "Apart from her, no one would dare to harm my son!"
Jiang Ruyi Scepter's courage was renowned throughout Yongzhou. It was she who single-handedly stormed the imperial palace, fearlessly facing hundreds of cultivators, and killed the Emperor at the time, gaining fame through that battle.
It was that battle that allowed cultivators throughout Yongzhou to witness the astonishing courage and determination of this female emperor, causing many male cultivators to feel inferior.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
An old man with graying hair walked out, speaking in a deep voice, "This matter is quite suspicious. With the Second Prince's strength, even if Jiang Ruyi Scepter and others joined forces, it would be impossible to kill him in such a short time."
This person was none other than Wen Fang, an eighth-level Heavenly Venerable of the Self Union stage from the Yuanxu Dynasty.
"It's highly unlikely for a direct confrontation!" someone sneered beside him. "But what about an ambush?"
Everyone's expressions turned serious.
If it was an ambush, then it was indeed possible!
That would mean the Ruyi Scepter Dynasty had long discovered the Second Prince's identity and had planned it in advance.
Song Aochang's expression twitched. If it was someone else ambushing him, he might believe it, but Jiang Ruyi Scepter was unlikely to resort to such tactics. However, if it wasn't an ambush, it didn't make sense either.
He was puzzled.
But now was not the time to dwell on these matters. The fact was that his own son was dead, regardless of the means used or the reasons behind it.
"Jiang Ruyi Scepter! I gave you a chance, but since you don't know how to cherish it, don't blame me!"
Song Aochang's eyes were bloodshot, clearly enraged to the extreme. He shouted, "Spread my decree, gather the troops immediately! I will crush the Ruyi Scepter Dynasty and let everyone accompany my son in death!"
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Song Aochang was losing his sanity, the ministers frowned.
Wen Fang stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "We are also deeply saddened by the death of the Second Prince, and seeking revenge is certainly necessary. However, launching an attack without careful consideration is not a wise move. If we act without authorization, the nearby Jiuyu Dynasty will certainly not stand idly by. They might take advantage of the situation, and the newly risen Shendream Dynasty's strength is still unclear. They must have some power if they can destroy several major dynasties within a short period of time. If we are tied down and attacked from both sides, our dynasty will be in danger!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! Please think twice!"
The ministers advised one after another.
The Jiuyu Dynasty and the Yuanxu Dynasty had similar strengths and were wary of each other. This was also the important reason why there were still many dynasties in Yongzhou after so many years, and the situation remained unchanged. No one dared to act recklessly.
Hearing the ministers' words, Song Aochang's chest heaved violently, his gaze turning cold. However, he gradually calmed down.
After a long time, Song Aochang gritted his teeth and said, "My son cannot die in vain. I cannot swallow this grudge. Wen Fang, immediately go to the Jiuyu Dynasty and inform Xia Liang. If he is willing to join forces with me and after we destroy the surrounding dynasties, I am willing to share the world with him and give up half of the cultivation resources and territories!"
Upon hearing these words, the ministers present were shocked.
They also knew that the half of the cultivation resources and territories Song Aochang mentioned were the other regions conquered by the two Great Emperor dynasties working together. But even so, it was definitely not a small amount.
Over time, the Jiuyu Dynasty would only become stronger.
But they also understood that if Song Aochang, whose own son had died, didn't react at all, it would only bring ridicule from the world. This grudge had to be avenged. As for whether the Jiuyu Dynasty would become powerful and eventually destroy them, that was a matter for the future, and no one could say for sure.
