Chapter 828: Chapter 601 Arrangements Before Leaving_2

"But things did not go as expected. Imperial Consort Zhao gave birth first, and what she birthed was a Demon Race raccoon cat!"

"A Demon Race raccoon cat? This is too absurd!"

Wang Yang couldn’t believe such a thing could escape the scrutiny of the Royal Family. Imperial Consort Zhao came from the Southern Families and was undoubtedly of Human Race blood. How could she give birth to a Demon Race offspring?

"It is absurd, but it is the truth!"

Upon investigation, the Royal Family found that Imperial Consort Zhao’s bloodline contained traces of Demon Race blood, though very little, it did exist. In a fit of rage, the Emperor executed Imperial Consort Zhao and sealed the news. Soon after, Empress Zhangsun gave birth to a Dragon Son, who was established as the Crown Prince, residing in the East Palace!

"What a brilliant scheme!"

Wang Yang couldn’t help but marvel at it. The Demon Race blood was likely secretly implanted into Imperial Consort Zhao by someone sent by Empress Zhangsun.

"Indeed! Although everyone knew it was a scheme, no one dared to speak out. They all tacitly accepted it, and the matter became taboo, with no one daring to mention it."

"However, the baby who was supposed to be the Crown Prince did not die. During the raccoon cat replacement, a maid by Imperial Consort Zhao’s side fought her way out of the Imperial Palace with the baby and took the already crafted Dragon Phoenix Jade Pendant with her!"

"For every prince and princess of the Royal Family, corresponding Dragon Phoenix Jade Pendants are specially made and names are pre-decided before they are born."

Representing a unique and irreplaceable identity!

"This baby was taken to the Northern Territories by the maid. Due to her severe injuries, she left the baby in a small town, diverting the pursuers on her own, and ultimately fell in the wilderness thirty miles outside Ice Cold City!"

After saying that, Wang Siyun looked at Wang Yang and remained silent, seemingly waiting for his response.

"According to what you said, Wang Siyun, this baby should be me!"

Wang Yang took out the Dragon Phoenix Jade Pendant from his bosom and said in a deep voice. From the moment Wang Siyun started speaking, Wang Yang had already guessed that he was the Crown Prince who was supposed to perish in the Imperial Palace.

But since Wang Yang was a Holy Soul that had descended to this world, accidentally occupying the soul and body of that baby, he wasn’t particularly concerned about this matter.

However, listening to Wang Siyun’s words now, he felt a ripple in his heart, a complex emotion emerging, perhaps anger, agitation, or even hatred towards his never-seen mother Imperial Consort Zhao or the maid who risked her life to save him.

These emotions weren’t something Wang Yang could control; they were instinctively and uncontrollably arising.

"The first time I saw you, I knew your soul didn’t belong to this world, it should have come from a grander plane. Otherwise, how could you have known so much about the Outer Realm Demon Race?"

"But you are still a descendant of the Royal Family, with our blood running in your veins. When I see you, I still feel a sense of kinship."

"You mentioned that the maid died thirty miles outside Ice Cold City. Does that mean she originally sought your help to take care of me?"

"Yes. I indeed sent Uncle Fu to receive her, but her injuries were too severe. She died before she could notify us of your location. My men searched for you but to no avail!"

Wang Siyun did not deny it, directly revealing the truth, but by then, Wang Yang had already been taken and raised by someone else.

Because Wang Yang’s Imperial Dragon Robe Fabric and the invaluable Dragon Phoenix Jade Pendant had been hidden by Wu Mo to avoid trouble, Wang Yang appeared no different from other babies.

It was understandable why Wang Siyun’s people couldn’t find him.

After all, Northern Territories had countless villages and small towns like the one where Wang Yang was found.

"Why does someone who doesn’t involve themselves in worldly affairs care so much about this matter?"

"Because Imperial Consort Zhao once did me a great favor!"

Wang Yang finally got the answer he had been seeking. Wang Siyun knew so much about this because back then, he was already titled "Prince" and stationed in Ice Cold City.

Moreover, the Guardian Sun King, who generally stayed out of worldly matters, would never send someone to assist a heavily pursued maid.

"The Zhao Family of the Southern Border once sent me a warning during the earth-shattering transformation, allowing me to avoid the final Nine Dragons Battle for the Succession. At that time, I had not yet reached sanctity. Had I entered the fray, I would have died without a doubt!"

"Later, I used State Preceptor Xu Mao to activate the Great Formation of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, seizing and devouring thirty percent of the nation’s Fate with the power of my bloodline, breaking through to sanctity. Furthermore, I received an enlightening baptism from the Former Emperor on his deathbed, which made me the Guardian Sun King I am today!"

After hearing this, Wang Yang finally understood why Wang Siyun was regarded as invincible. Not only did he receive the Former Emperor’s blessing and spiritual power from his bloodline cultivation level, but he also obtained thirty percent of the nation’s Fate from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, controlled by the Royal Family.

With such power, perhaps no one in the world could kill him!

Not even if Wang Mingyu wanted to, he could not succeed!

"In the grand scheme of things, my brother planned to kill me. Even though I fought on the front lines for him, achieving unmatched feats, our Former Emperor once intended for me to inherit the throne!"

"But I refused and recommended my brother, Wang Mingyu. The Former Emperor, seeing my firm resolve, ceased insisting but transferred all the power of his bloodline to me, which naturally incited my brother’s envy, though he couldn’t kill me!"

"He could only have the ancient members of the Royal Family plant a bloodline brand on me, restricting my power of Fate to only outside the Capital Luoyang."

"Entering Luoyang would seal all the power in my bloodline!"

"Once sealed, those ancient members of the Royal Family would have the means to kill you!"

"Indeed! In the ancestral hall of the Royal Family, there are several formidable beings with limited lifespan. Without my bloodline’s power of Fate, I wouldn’t stand a chance against them and might even fall!"

Wang Yang sighed deeply, feeling emotional about the heartlessness of the Royal Family. Even someone like Wang Siyun, who had no interest in the throne, still faced lethal threats.

"Why did the Zhao Family of the Southern Border risk transmitting the warning, helping you avoid the killing scheme?"

"Because Wang Yun’s mother was from the Zhao Family!"

"So, I’m related to you by blood too?"

Wang Yang said jokingly to ease the heavy atmosphere, understanding the reason.

"Haha! Indeed!"

Wang Siyun laughed heartily. Without this connection, he wouldn’t have cared so much for Wang Yang or shown him such respect.

"Thank you for telling me about my lineage. The tale of the raccoon cat swapping the Crown Prince is intriguing, but as for participating in the Royal Family’s Nine Dragons Battle for the Succession, I’ll pass. As I said before, this realm should indeed have the surname ’Wang,’ but not the ’Wang’ of Wang Yang!"

Wang Yang’s words made his position clear. Wang Siyun understood and didn’t press further, knowing Wang Yang wasn’t truly his royal nephew.

The Crown Prince who should have died!

But the one who will stop the Outer Realm Demon Race from devouring the Primordial Force, Wang Yang!

"I understand your stance, but you should be aware that the Zhangsun Lineage knows you are not dead and have been searching for you. Moreover, wasn’t the Golden Dragon Phenomenon a few years ago in the Northern Territories your doing?"

Wang Siyun urgently reminded Wang Yang. For years, the Zhangsun Lineage had been secretly searching the Northern Territories, but nothing escaped Wang Siyun’s eyes.

"Prince, you are truly wise!"

Wang Yang did not deny the Golden Dragon Phenomenon, as there were no secrets before this prince.

"If you are to leave the Northern Territories, you must pass by the Heaven Observing Mirror. Do you need my help to obscure the celestial Secret?"

"No need!"

Looking at Wang Siyun’s confident expression, Wang Yang felt a bit helpless!

Given another ten years, not just Wang Siyun, but even the Saints of this world together wouldn’t stand a chance against Wang Yang!

"Very well!"

"I expect you to visit the Northern Territories again after reaching the Summit of the Celestial Mountain, and hope to see it unified by then!"

"By the way, if you need a civil official, there’s a scholar named Ning Caichen, who carries Pure Yang Blood. I have a favor from him and highly recommend him!"

"Understood!"

Wang Siyun impatiently waved his hand, feeling it was too much to arrange matters before leaving.

Wang Yang smiled, unbothered, clasped his hands in a salute, and turned to depart.
