Free Web NovelChapter 1843: Chapter 603: Prey
The overwhelming sword qi even spread to a few palace maids and eunuchs.
When National Master Yu Kunlun walked in, he saw the chaos inside the hall and the blood-soaked hacked corpses.
A large group of palace maids and eunuchs were forced to hide outside the hall, shivering in the corners.
Yu Kunlun couldn’t help but frown.
Since the battle in Huaiyin County, this majesty has become increasingly unable to control his temper, taking out his frustration more and more on his servants.
At this moment, Emperor Jianyuan was already seated on the throne, pouring himself wine and drinking alone.
With a hint of drunkenness, he looked up at Yu Kunlun: "The National Master is here, come have a drink with me."
"Is the majesty not in a good mood?"
Yu Kunlun walked over expressionlessly: "Although we haven’t completely met expectations regarding Chu Rulai, at least we have diverted Chu Ming."
Emperor Jianyuan sneered, his words laced with sarcasm: "But our purpose was to use Chu Rulai as bait to lure her there, allowing those Gods to kill and eliminate her, not just to divert her!
The Jumen Star Lord replied to me, saying Chu Ming’s combat power far exceeds our expectations, already nearing the peak strength you envisioned, making them not fully confident to capture and kill her. To avoid alerting the prey, they had to abandon this opportunity."
Originally, they planned to spend around four years gradually arranging Chu Ming’s chaotic qi veins and bloodline power properly.
Yet now, Chu Ming is almost reaching her perfect state, making their previous preparations seem laughable.
However, what frustrated him the most was the powerful weapon he had invested a huge amount of resources and effort into nurturing, had fallen into the enemy’s hands, becoming a formidable arm for that scum Chu Xisheng.
—This is outrageous!
"Chu Ming’s strength was indeed unexpected."
Doubt flickered in Yu Kunlun’s eyes.
He contemplated whose craftsmanship this was? And what dharma gate was used?
It must be known, even his true self would need to focus and dedicate three to five months to adjust Chu Ming’s body.
Yet behind Chu Xisheng, there couldn’t possibly be such a high master.
Three generations of Saint Emperor might manage to do it, but he now certainly doesn’t have the resources.
Yu Kunlun shifted his tone: "However, the majesty needn’t be upset. As long as the majesty can break Diwa’s sealing, the Forbidden Technique within Chu Ming is not irreversible. They can use Inverting Yin and Yang to seize Chu Ming; in the future, the majesty can use this dharma gate to reclaim her."
"Really?"
Emperor Jianyuan’s reaction was rather indifferent, he said noncommittally: "Who knows if I can see that day come? But if it does, Chu Ming may mostly be dispensable to me."
He then looked intently at Yu Kunlun: "My ’Twelve Duteen Divine Dragon National Array,’ has the National Master thoroughly investigated it? How is the modification now? Can your true self spare any strength?"
Since he returned to Wang’an City, the Daning Dynasty’s National Suppression Array has been undergoing remodeling.
On one hand, it was to investigate what Lu Chen left in the National Suppression Array in the past; on the other hand, it was to find the reason why Chu Xisheng could borrow Dragon Energy from here.
Additionally, it was also to integrate Zhe Dragon’s Dream Technique into the ’Twelve Duteen Divine Dragon National Array.’
The Daning Dynasty has already lost half of its territory, and much of the remaining half has a scattered populace, with some even having a rebellious spirit.
After the renovation, the Twelve Duteen Divine Dragon National Array can not only further refine and purify Dragon Energy for Emperor Jianyuan but also expand the coverage of Zhe Dragon’s Dream Technique.
Despite his reservations about Zhe Dragon, given the circumstances, Emperor Jianyuan can no longer afford to care about these things.
"Majesty, the dharma gate Chu Xisheng used to seize Chu Ming has been identified. It should be done by Lu Chen’s brother, Master Peacock Lu Yuan. They altered several runes within the array, embedded a few top-grade Innate Yin Yang Stones into the array, then leveraged fragments of the Divine Contract Heavenly Tablet to complete ’Inverting Yin and Yang.’ The majesty’s Tributor Master probably wasn’t too familiar with the structure of the National Suppression Array, leaving room for them to exploit."
Yu Kunlun felt distressed at mentioning this matter.
If Emperor Jianyuan had merely let him take a glance, he wouldn’t have given Chu Xisheng any opportunity: "As for why Chu Xisheng could draw Dragon Energy from the National Suppression Array, apart from the reason of the Divine Contract Heavenly Stele, it also relates to the ’Wanxiang’ bloodline the majesty extracted from him."
Seeing Emperor Jianyuan’s face display impatience, Yu Kunlun realized what the other truly wanted to hear.
Yu Kunlun sighed inwardly and shook his head slightly: "The National Suppression Array is temporarily disabled during the revamping period, and my true self is currently using the Dream Technique to act as an array, temporarily unable to extricate."
A fleeting and hard-to-detect cold gleam flashed in Emperor Jianyuan’s eyes.
"I let Chu Rulai go, given Chu Xisheng’s character, he certainly wouldn’t just let it slide. Now that Chu Ming has been diverted, the likelihood of Chu Xisheng himself hastening to boost his cultivation personally is very slim. Next to come to the capital for me will definitely be Qin Muge."
Emperor Jianyuan laughed coldly, drinking his cup of wine in one go.
This dragon knew what he intended to do but still refused him.
Emperor Jianyuan was as perceptive as mirroring Zhe Dragon’s intent; this person didn’t want Qin Muge lost in this.
"Since the National Master’s True Self is unable to spare attention, then please help keep an eye on the National Suppression Array for me."
He lowered his head, gazing at the token fragment in his hand.
