Chapter 531: Chapter 291: Can’t Come Empty-handed for the First Time_2

Gu Shanhai was aware of the process, as Huang Yanshan had done the same.

However, his actions were far more ruthless, as after his coronation, all members of the previous Royal Family succumbed to a plague that left no good flesh on their bodies, dying agonizing deaths.

Huang Yanshan may have appeared jovial and respectful towards Gu Shanhai after becoming Emperor, as if he was still the junior, but within the entire Dashu Dynasty, he ruled with absolute military power as a terrifying tyrant, and no civil or military officials or field powerful figures dared to challenge his authority.

Only two and a half people in Dashu could persuade Huang Yanshan: one was his uncle Gu Shanhai, another was his wife, and the half was Little White.

His son and grandson couldn’t deter Huang Yanshan from doing whatever he wanted, even though he was quite satisfied with his grandson.

"Damn... spit~" Gu Shanhai, discovering that Princess Fushan still dared to contact her old followers, cursed out loud only to choke on a mouthful of dirt.

It was Gu Shanhai’s first time encountering such a fierce person.

And even more arrogantly, the other person didn’t invite secretly but rather sent out invitations publically.

’Well, I’m not sure whether this move is accidentally effective or just brainless.’ Gu Shanhai knew that the other party was thinking of breaking the situation.

Therefore, the higher profile the better, otherwise, if they had no presence and died, hardly anybody would notice.

On the contrary, being more high-profile might prevent the former princess from needing to die, Luo Chuan, although disgusted, would have to behave and treat the former princess well rather than actually kill her.

It was a classic example of doing the opposite.

With such maneuvers by Princess Fushan, the high-level of Yong’an was distracted.

’No wonder it changed from dangerous to plain, this ability to attract hate and block arrows is truly top-notch.’

Thus, whatever plans Luo Chuan originally had were delayed.

As the night deepened, the tumult finally subsided.

Seeing the opportunity was ripe, Gu Shanhai transferred directly using the Five Elements Great Escape.

"First loosen the soil, then claim it." This time, Gu Shanhai decided not to dig into the ground, but just loosen the soil and take what was needed.

Then wait until a safe place to take it out and clean.

This Heavenly Emperor Tripod had little difference from the Human Emperor and Earth Emperor Tripods, except for the different texts and patterns on the tripod.

The excavation went smoothly, the main issue was dealing with the collapse.

If such a large item suddenly disappeared from beneath the ground, there would definitely be traces on the surface.

The Heavenly Emperor Tripod was not buried very deep.

There had not yet been any collapse because Gu Shanhai was supporting it.

Since it had to be absolutely silent, they couldn’t just leave.

"Luckily, I was prepared." Gu Shanhai poured a large amount of soil from the Mother-child Grass, filling the missing soil quickly.

"Good, now I can escape!"

After dealing with everything, Gu Shanhai planned to leave, for what reason would he stay in the enemy’s base?

Boom~

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted, Gu Shanhai felt the ground shake.

It was as if something had violently smashed into the ground.

"Princess Fushan made her move?" Gu Shanhai found it incredible.

Just now, Princess Fushan had actually rallied three thousand old troops, and many former officials took the chance to raid the Prince Xi Mansion by night.

Regarding Luo Chuan’s Daoist Soldiers, one of the insiders had stolen the Commander’s Seal and temporarily diverted them.

And that huge noise was caused by some military equipment of the Dalong Royal Family; by now, the entire Prince Xi Mansion had turned into a blazing inferno.

"I originally had no reason to kill you, but now, you’ve given me one," Luo Chuan, draped in an exquisite cape, followed by a large group of Daoist Soldiers, said.

He was very calm as if he was waiting for the other party.

"Princess Fushan is planning a rebellion, take her down."

Seeing this scene, Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but smile. It seemed that Luo Chuan was aware of Princess Fushan’s plan. By deliberately letting her act, he had found an excuse to kill.

With the elder princess’s invulnerability, nobody knew before that one could kill at will, but now that the other party was so brazen and disgust him, he needed a reason.

Even Gu Shanhai suspected that it was Luo Chuan’s arrangement for someone next to Princess Fushan to urge her to act tonight.

He could think of the reason, which was to catch her off guard, especially since she had just returned, and everyone surely thought she would remain hidden.

And now she had indeed fallen into the trap.

While Princess Fushan cursed and swore, the three thousand old soldiers surrounding her and many old ministers were all beheaded by Daoist Soldiers. She was slightly better off due to her status as elder princess, having been captured alive.

Now they definitely couldn’t kill her, to kill her they would have to follow the procedure.

But at this point, it was pretty much a done deal, Princess Fushan had no chance of turning the situation around.

"Since I’m already here, I must leave him something." When Gu Shanhai saw Luo Chuan, his mind twitched, and his pettiness re-emerged.

This guy had offended him before, and he still remembered the grudge. If they hadn’t met, Gu Shanhai could have let it go, but now that they had, he felt obliged to send him something.

"Damn, Big Ivan is gone!" Gu Shanhai was also cursing at this moment.

He had only made one Big Ivan originally, as it was rushed, and with limited materials, it was impressive enough to have created it.

"Forget it, I’ll make do with a Mana Halo for now. I don’t need to blow all of Yong’an City sky-high, but I do need to give Luo Chuan an idea of what an assistant’s fury looks like."

Gu Shanhai took out the Nine States Instrument, and then a Mana Halo augmented with the Azure Dragon and White Tiger emerged.

With the Azure Dragon’s Mana Halo breath and the White Tiger’s natural Mana Halo dominance, one developed the Mana Halo’s damage effect, and the other increased the Mana Halo’s amplification effect.

"Not enough, I need to add some more ingredients into it."

He casually pulled out a Guardian Demon and stuffed it into the Mana Halo.

"With this demon evaporating with the Mana Halo, it should make the entire Yong’an City lower their intelligence for three days."

"By then, everyone will act like those brain-dead villains that face the protagonists in urban tales. I don’t believe Luo Chuan can keep calm."

This effect certainly wouldn’t affect Luo Chuan, and it might not even affect the commander and Daoist Soldiers since only one Guardian Demon was stuffed in it, which wouldn’t be very powerful.

However, it would be absolutely terrific on ordinary people.

Many desires and emotions would be magnified along with lowering intelligence. Although the damage might not be substantial, its insult and subsequent ongoing issues would be significant.

Gu Shanhai aimed at Luo Chuan, but it wasn’t necessary to target him directly; he could completely target his subordinates.

It’s not that Gu Shanhai didn’t want a satisfying act of revenge; it was mainly because he couldn’t beat the other party, so he had to resort to underhanded tactics.

"Is my behavior a bit too villainous?" Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but think of the villains who take civilians hostage to threaten the protagonist. His action was even more extreme, without any warning, he just attacked.

"It’s fine, this world has no protagonist. I won’t be stopped by any suddenly appearing hero, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t have the chance."

Gu Shanhai activated the countdown on the Mana Halo, which was set for ten seconds.

Then, after throwing it down, he immediately used the Five Elements Great Escape to shift through several positions to disguise himself and erase traces before leaving Yong’an City.

The ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and the Mana Halo burst open instantaneously.

The Mana Halo swept across the entire Yong’an City, and Luo Chuan immediately sensed it, his face changing instantly.

Luo Chuan promptly used his military tactics to control the spread of the Mana Halo, but even so, it had already covered half the city district.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a more peculiar scent burst open, instantly enveloping the entire Yong’an City and permeating every individual’s body.

This infuriated him; such a disruption on the eve of his ascension to the throne was the last thing he needed.

"Take her away and interrogate her thoroughly; I need to know exactly what’s going on." Luo Chuan glanced at Princess Fushan with a somber expression, convinced in his eyes that she was inevitably linked to this matter.
