368: Chapter 367: Seeing the True Form 368: Chapter 367: Seeing the True Form Xiaosheng Kingdom Imperial Palace.

Emperor Zhao Ze had already reached his old age when he heard the news that Zhao Gou had launched a mutiny to usurp his throne, which infuriated Zhao Ze to the extreme.

He never expected his own son to be so utterly ruthless.

“Kill!”

Thunderous cries of killing came from outside the Imperial Palace, causing the eunuchs to report in panic.

“Your Majesty, both princes have already brought troops to the palace gates.

What should you do now?”

“Unfilial sons, unfilial sons!

I am not yet dead, how dare they…” Zhao Ze’s face turned red, and he staggered towards the palace gates with the support of the eunuchs.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

The cries of killing were incessant.

Zhao Gou, with a cold expression, led thousands of soldiers in a standoff with his elder brother Zhao Xun inside the palace.

However, Zhao Xun had ten thousand troops behind him, clearly having a significant advantage in numbers.

“Second brother, I really didn’t expect you to be so foolish.

With just these few thousand soldiers, where did you get the courage to launch a mutiny?” Zhao Xun mocked, looking at Zhao Gou as if looking at a dead man.

“Haha.”

Zhao Gou laughed loudly, his eyes fearless, and said, “Elder brother, if I were you, I would surrender now to save your life.”

Zhao Xun knew his younger brother very well.

If he did not have a sure plan, he would not recklessly launch a mutiny; obviously, he must have a substantial trump card.

Although Zhao Xun was somewhat wary of Zhao Gou, he also had his own trump card, looking at Zhao Gou with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

“Stop fighting!”

Suddenly, as the two princes confronted each other, Emperor Zhao Ze, supported by the eunuchs, staggered over.

This caused a slight change in the expressions of both princes, but neither spoke first.

“Unfilial sons, I am not dead yet, how dare you commit such treasonous acts?” Zhao Ze, aged and frail, shouted angrily at them.

“Father, it was my second brother who launched the mutiny to seize your throne, how could I commit such treasonous acts?” Zhao Xun bowed deeply to his father.

“Gou’er, is what your brother said true?” Zhao Ze, with a livid face, questioned Zhao Gou.

“Father, you are already old, and it is time for you to abdicate.

If you had passed the throne to me earlier, how could there have been such troubles today?” Zhao Gou spoke bluntly.

“Unfilial son!” Upon hearing Zhao Gou’s response, Zhao Ze roared furiously, obviously incensed by Zhao Gou.

“Father, there’s no need to be angry.

Once I capture my brother, I will hand him over to you for disposal.”

Zhao Xun stepped forward and, with a wave of his hand, ten thousand troops surrounded Zhao Gou and his men, looking at Zhao Gou with a taunting expression.

“Second brother, no matter what trump card you have that made you dare launch a mutiny, you will undoubtedly die today.”

Zhao Xun disdainfully sneered, then turned to a green-robed elder and bowed deeply, “Master Lin, your assistance is appreciated.”

“There’s no need for such courtesy, Prince.”

The green-robed elder held a horsetail whisk, surrounded by spiritual light.

He was actually a Cultivator in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

When Zhao Gou saw this person, his expression slightly changed.

“Ancient Cloud Sect’s Lin Tianhe?” Zhao Gou exclaimed in shock.

“Boundless Heavenly Venerate.”

Lin Tianhe made a bow with his hands clasped and said, “It seems that the Second Prince also recognizes this old man.

Since that is the case, please, Your Highness, surrender yourself and spare me the effort of taking action personally.”

“Little brother, you didn’t expect this, did you?

Lin, the Immortal Master, has already been appointed by me as the National Guardian Immortal Master of the Minor Saint Nation.

It’s still not too late for you to surrender now,” Zhao Xun haughtily chuckled, his eyes alight with the surety of victory.

At this moment, Zhao Gou’s expression was extremely unsightly.

He had truly not anticipated that his elder brother would actually manage to bring Lin Tianhe here.

This thought alone was tremendously vexing to him.

Suddenly,

a tall figure appeared in front of Zhao Gou.

With the arrival of this person, the entire area became extremely stagnant, and an unimaginable fluctuation spread throughout heaven and earth.

“Senior!” Upon seeing the person beside him, Zhao Gou’s face lit up with joy, and he bowed deeply to Ye Xuan.

“This…

Who is this Daoist?”

The appearance of Ye Xuan also stunned Lin Tianhe.

His pupils constricted, and a horrifying sense of dread that he couldn’t put into words surged within him—as if he wasn’t facing a human, but a terrifying Immortal that was beyond his imagination.

An Immortal?

Indeed, an Immortal.

Lin Tianhe was a Cultivator at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.

He was no stranger to Immortals.

Although he couldn’t discern Ye Xuan’s cultivation level, he was absolutely certain that Ye Xuan had to be an Immortal; otherwise, he wouldn’t have felt such an overwhelming oppressive aura.

The most crucial issue was, the visage of this black-robed youth gave him an extremely familiar sensation.

He felt as though he had seen this person somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall where at the moment.

“Who is this person…?”

Lin Tianhe was sweating profusely, trying hard to remember something.

As a few moments passed, a flash of spiritual light crossed his mind, as if he had remembered something.

“Hiss!”

Suddenly, Lin Tianhe gasped sharply as his body trembled.

His ruddy complexion turned pale—he finally remembered where he had seen this face before.

Emperor Dongji?

Wasn’t this the face of Emperor Dongji?

It was in the Ancient Cloud Sect, when the Heavenly Court had sent down the Jade Scroll decree—that Jade Scroll had depicted the visage of Emperor Dongji, and the Heavenly Court had further instructed all the major sects of the lower realm to swiftly report to the Heavenly Court if someone discovered the corpse of Emperor Dongji.

However, Lin Tianhe had never imagined that Emperor Dongji, who was supposed to be dead at the hands of True Person Yu Ding, would appear alive in front of him.

Lin Tianhe dared not think nor inquire further.

His body was already soaked with cold sweat, and he was desperately trying to suppress his panic, pretending as if he did not recognize Ye Xuan.

Because Lin Tianhe was not foolish.

Since Emperor Dongji was still alive and hiding within this Imperial Palace, it meant that Dongji did not want others to know his identity.

If Dongji perceived that Lin had seen through his identity, Lin was sure to end up with no place to bury his corpse.

“Your Highness, the matters of the mortal world have nothing to do with me, and there’s nothing I can help with.

I bid farewell.”

Lin Tianhe didn’t dare to even glance at Ye Xuan.

He forced a calm demeanor, made a Taoist bow, and started walking towards the exterior of the Imperial Palace.

This scene also left Zhao Xun stunned.

It took several tense moments before he regained his composure, but before he could speak to retain Lin, a cold and indifferent voice slowly rose.

“Since you’ve come, there’s no need to leave now.”

Whoom!

Sealing Heaven and Trapping Earth, the void became stagnant.

Before Lin Tianhe could leave the Imperial Palace, the space had already been sealed, leaving Lin Tianhe’s face extremely pale, knowing that he had been seen through by Emperor Dongji.

“Emperor, please spare my life.

I was merely passing by this place; I would never dare to spread the word about the Emperor,” Lin Tianhe trembled all over, no longer putting on airs, as he directly knelt on the ground and begged Ye Xuan with tears.
