Chapter 219: This Emperor Was Something Else 1

Half a year later.

Fengzhou, Sect of Returning Hearts.

Gu Qinghuan came to the entrance of the Purple Bamboo Garden at the back of the mountain.

He took out a pair of bells from his storage ring. Gu Qinghuan made them ring and walked into the Eight Asura Formation that Jiang Beiran had set up.

Jiang Beiran felt that it would be too troublesome to come down and pick them up every time, but he didn’t want to loosen up the defense of the formation against the intruders. Therefore, Jiang Beiran simply made two pairs of Soul-absorbing Bells out of the sticks in the Ruyi Fortune Bucket and gave them to his errand boys.

After being processed by Jiang Beiran, these two pairs of bells had the ability to block the mind invading of the Eight Asura Formation. As long as the owner closed his eyes and followed the lead of the bells, he would be able to smoothly arrive at the Purple Bamboo Garden.

Pushing open the door of the small courtyard, Gu Qinghuan walked in and waited quietly.

Not long after, the door of the small courtyard on the west side of the Purple Bamboo Garden was pushed open, and Jiang Beiran, who had a green-scaled snake around his neck, walked out.

“Little guy, you really like to snuggle.” Jiang Beiran said while stroking the snake’s head, which was constantly flicking its tongue.

“Greetings, Brother Jiang.” Gu Qinghuan greeted him respectfully with cupped hands.

“Are you looking for me?” Jiang Beiran raised his head and looked at Gu Qinghuan.

Jiang Beiran knew it was Gu Qinghuan when he shook the soul-stirring bell. However, Jiang Beiran didn’t summon him, so if Gu Qinghuan came here voluntarily, he must have something important to report.

“Yes.” Gu Qinghuan nodded. “It has been five days since the emperor went to court.”

“Oh?” Jiang Beiran raised his eyebrows. “It seems that the matter has come to an end.”

Over the past half a year, through the information Qu Qinghuan had gathered, Jiang Beiran had basically understood what these people were trying to do. Moreover, he was very interested in whatever they were doing.

The fall of the imperial power was a common occurrence in both the fantasy world and the normal world.

The current emperor of Sheng Kingdom was called Deng Bo. Originally, he should still be the crown prince. However, his father died after sitting on the throne for a year.

Of course, Jiang Beiran thought that the old emperor probably didn’t die of natural causes.

The old emperor was dead, so it was naturally the crown prince who succeeded the throne. According to the information Jiang Beiran had, Deng Bo was probably in the middle of the “night exercising” with some maidens in his bedroom when a eunuch suddenly ran over to tell him that his father was dead. Then, he needed to quickly get ready and prepare for the coronation.

In this situation where he was completely unprepared, Deng Bo was forced into a corner. If the old emperor still had some say in the Imperial Court and the black and white factions, Deng Bo was purely a mascot, and no one paid any attention to him.

However, no one expected that Deng Bo, who usually just wanted to fool around all day long, suddenly wanted to do something big as soon as he became the emperor.

He knew that whether it was the demonic cult or the righteous sects, there were people who wanted to do something in the name of the Imperial Court. Then, he would become the biggest “broker” in the world and take advantage of these restless big forces.

And these restless big forces naturally only wanted to do one thing, and that was to be the boss.

Which sect or demonic cult did not want to occupy the best cultivation area? Especially at that time, Guan Shi’an and Yin Jianghong weren’t mystic master, and those capable sects were even more restless.

After discovering this, Deng Bo was determined to become the most successful “broker” in the world. he began to use his power as an emperor.

In just three years, as an “ordinary person” who hadn’t cultivated at all, he successfully roped in a group of ambitious cult masters and sect masters. He then spent another seven years setting up a scheme in the dark.

Although Jiang Beiran did not know how he had set up this scheme, he could guess a little from the various incidents.

Jiang Beiran estimated that the emperor had originally intended to secretly let the righteous sects and demonic cults exhaust each other strength. For example, the Yellow Gang was one of his handiworks.

Then, he would secretly nurture some of the forces of the Imperial Court that supported him. This way, the forces of the Imperial Court that he had nurtured would one day become part of the “Cake-splitting”.

As for why this emperor was able to make so many big shots listen to him, that was naturally his own ability.

Unfortunately, plans always fell behind changes. Just as Deng Bo was arranging all sorts of things in an orderly manner, a sudden accident affected everything.

That was Guan Shi’an breaking through to mystic master.

This made those ambitious people unable to hold it in anymore. They thought that Guan Shi’an was able to break through to mystic master because he occupied a favorable place for cultivation.

This time, they were no longer willing to listen to Deng Bo’s hundred-year plan. What they wanted was immediate results, a plan that could bring that old man down. Basically, what they meant was, “If you were unable to come up with a proper plan, we will kill you!”

Once again, Deng Bo was forced into a corner. He had no choice but to change his plan at the last minute, from seeking victory from stability to obtaining victory from chaos.

Jiang Beiran could guess that in his original plan, the righteous sects and demonic cults should have completely shed all pretense of cordiality during the Sect of Masked Moon’s incident. Jiang Beiran estimated that in emperor’s next plan, he would also lure the bosses of the righteous sects and demonic cults. This was also the idea of having Guan Shi’an and Yin Jianghong fight.

These two people had just entered the mystic master realm. When both sides suffered heavy losses, the two or five young masters of both sides would attack at the same time, and it was very likely that they would be directly killed.

In that case, Fengzhou would fall into a chaotic state without leaders. However, Guan Shi’an and Yin Jianghong would be the two leaders who got killed. The smaller forces would still have their leaders.
