Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 583 - 583 134 Stone Drum_4

583: Chapter 134 Stone Drum_4 583: Chapter 134 Stone Drum_4 With a successful strike, Su He showed no mercy.

His figure flashed as he chased after the scholar and smashed down a punch, his right fist hammering down and his left hand beating a drum.

At this moment, the First Prince had been wrapped in Buddha’s clothes in the palm of a left hand, and with each beat of the drum, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was on the verge of death.

Just then, a beam of light shot up into the sky from the East City, an opening in space appeared, and a figure stepped down.

It was a woman, clad in a Python Robe, looking like an Empress, she flicked her sleeves, and looked towards Su He.

Then she waved her hand at the others, “Step back.”

Three battle formations landed and transformed into three groups of the Military Division, retreating at a quick pace.

Two scholars from the Academy helped each other retreat to the side.

Su He stood in the air, looking at the woman in front of him.

The Sealed Emperor’s Palace had three Princes and three Dukes, where the Princes came from the royal lineage itself, while the Dukes had earned their titles outright.

This was the only woman among the three Dukes, The Duke of An, Feng Nan.

Although the Sealed Emperor Great World was an empire, it was also a world of cultivators, not focusing on much else, female cultivators generally had no way to establish feats and inherit titles.

She looked at Su He and unexpectedly chuckled with a girl’s charm, “Su He?

I’ve heard much about you!”

Looking at Su He’s clothes, she smiled and said, “In terms of strength, you have accumulated the teachings of the Buddha World over countless years, far more than ten times mine, but you don’t know how to use this power, you can’t defeat me.”

Su He nodded honestly, then said, “No matter, I can self-destruct my Dragon Turtle True Form’s Buddha, then use the Peacock True Body’s Buddha to escape.”

Such power exploding within the Imperial City would surely be a spectacular sight.

The Duke of An shook her head, “You’re wrong!

With such power, you could not set it off with your True Yuan unless you self-destructed.

If you were to self-destruct, it should be your Peacock True Body, to ignite the Buddha within the Peacock True Body.”

No cultivator of the Transforming Beast Guide would self-destruct their primary form, as that was fundamental.

Su He remained silent.

Feng Nan looked at him and smiled faintly, “What do you think of this Imperial City?

What about the Sealed Emperor Great World?”

Su He shook his head, “The Sealed Emperor Great World, unseen, unknown.

But the Imperial City—regarding grandeur, I’ve seen nothing like it in my life.

As for law and order, peace, also unparalleled in my life.

This place is excellent!”

The Dragon Turtle had no inclination to lie.

Such order, only witnessed in a previous life.

Feng Nan nodded, “Indeed!

Not to boast, but our Emperor, while not the most sagacious sovereign in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, is not far from it.”

A world this vast, achieving merely basic fairness, yet truly exhausted the spirit of Emperor Luan.

To say he was an enlightened sovereign for all ages would not be an exaggeration!

Su He nodded, but then scoffed, “But with the next generation of Princes, this dynasty is doomed to fall!”

Feng Nan burst into hearty laughter, “That’s right, that’s right!

Heroic minds think alike.” Her look towards Su He carried a hint of approval, “The Crown Prince is not lacking in intelligence, tactics, or Tao cultivation, but his paranoia is too deep.

If he ascends to the throne, within thirty to fifty thousand years, the entire court will be in constant fear.”

The Crown Prince’s face twitched.

But Feng Nan seemed not to care, continuing, “The Third Emperor’s Son sounds pleasing, likes to leverage unorthodox strategies to win, but frankly, his heart is not in the right place!”

The Crown Prince’s black bear was trembling in his hands, lost and unsure.

Feng Nan went on, “As for the First Prince—nothing but a fool!

Petty-minded and still pretends to be cultured.

If he was not a prince of our dynasty, how could he have cultivated to the Stepping Sky Five-fold?

How could he have lived until today?”

“?”

Su He was utterly bewildered.

Standing before the entire Imperial City, instead of coming to battle me, she just criticized the three Princes, including the Crown Prince, to oblivion.

Is this not shaking the foundations of the state?

Yet Feng Nan simply smiled, “Our Emperor is wise, his Tao cultivation high.

Do you think the three Princes still have a chance at the throne?”

“If our Emperor faces no misfortunes, he will live for ten million years, and the three Princes lack the aptitude to wait that long.

If our Emperor encounters a mishap, the Sealed Emperor Great World will surely shatter, and the empire cease to be, where would their succession stand then?”

Su He’s confusion grew deeper.

Could these words really be said?

Could they come from the mouth of The Duke of An before Princes and the Imperial City’s populace?

What was this woman doing?!!

Feng Nan gestured dismissively, “Let’s not talk about that.

Today the people of the Phoenix clan are not around, even if they were called back to surround and kill you, you could self-destruct.

An impasse where both parties are injured, why not step back from the brink?”

Su He’s eyes narrowed slightly.

…

In a strange land, it seemed there was no continent, only a sea of star nebulae, where the power of the stars flowed like water, condensing into liquid.

Within the sea of star nebulae, a Bodhi tree swayed with the wind.

Beneath the tree sat a person of bodhisattva appearance, settled with serenity.

Far away, the clouds parted, and a member of the Yuan Sovereign Clan approached, stepping on the stars, stopping at a distance to look at the bodhisattva.

“That old Peacock, has he sent his distraction to Feng Zhong?”

The bodhisattva chuckled, “Rest assured, rest assured!

The Phoenix Ancestor personally shattered my distraction.

From this moment until the end of the grand ceremony, he cannot leave through the passage.”

Though there had been some unexpected occurrences, like a Little Turtle coming out and disrupting the plans, the outcome stood unchanged.

The Old Phoenix, after all, had sent away his distraction.

The member of the Yuan Sovereign Clan laughed heartily, his forehead Crystal Stone flashing its light.

“Then shall we go and Suppress that Old turtle?

Seal him for ten million years!”

The bodhisattva laughed, “Certainly, certainly!

But Brother Tai, you should rest now.” He looked at the Yuan Sovereign Clan member before him, “Have you hidden your drum well?”

The Yuan Sovereign Clan member smiled, a spark in his eyes, “Of course, in a place no one can imagine.”
