Chapter 42: Be quiet, because the storm is coming! "No wonder he said that night that we don't have to worry no matter what happens. So that's how it is." Ji Ruxue quietly watched the scene in front of her. Needless to say, she was shocked. She also belonged to the killer organization Huanyinfang and had several battles with the people of Xuanming Sect. She knew that the Xuanming Sect was huge, but now she had a more intuitive understanding of the bad people under Li Xingyun based on the Xuanming Sect. This was a terrorist organization that could easily infiltrate the Xuanming Sect! I must report this information to the Empress, Ji Ruxue thought to herself. At this time, Sanqianyuan, who was sitting in front of the fire, opened her hands and said lightly while warming herself by the fire, "You two girls are close to His Highness. We will definitely ensure your safety when you go to Luoyang. When something happens in Luoyang, we will have someone to pick you up. You can go to the Zhongnan Mountain Cangbing Valley to wait for His Highness to join you."Lu Linxuan asked curiously, "Did you all sneak into Xuanming Sect a long time ago? The one today was the leader of Xuanming Sect, right? Didn't he notice anything at all?" Sanqianyuan shook his head and said, "I was sent out by His Highness some time ago. As for the rest of us brothers, we have indeed been in Xuanming Sect for some time. "As for the Dark Emperor..." Sanqianyuan paused for a moment, then said in an inexplicable tone, "His life or death may have already been determined." Others may not know, but the Three Thousand Courts know it very well. Long before the Bad People were disbanded, the Marshal began to make arrangements all over the world to establish the Xuanming Sect. The driving force behind the establishment was none other than the Marshal! …… Snap! He twisted the neck of a member of the Xuanming Sect and broke it. The Emperor of the Underworld laughed and said, "This is the price you should pay for betraying me!" “This…” The other members of the Xuanming Sect looked at the Dark Emperor in horror. The leader of the Xiangzhou branch even begged for mercy: “Ming Emperor, please spare our lives. We are also working for His Majesty. If we don’t do it, His Majesty will not let us go!” "Humph, you are afraid of him, but you are not afraid of me? Don't forget, who led the Xuanming Sect to fight its way out from the crowd of heroes in the world!" The Dark Emperor looked coldly at the Xiangzhou helmsman, stepped forward and said: "You have all been through life and death with me, I really didn't expect that you are all his people!" "Emperor Hades, please spare my life..." Although the Xiangzhou helmsman said to spare his life, he knew the methods of Emperor Hades better than anyone else. With the cruelty of Emperor Hades, he would definitely die! Bang! The Xiangzhou helmsman slapped the two people in front of him towards the Hades with two palms, and then turned and ran like crazy. He didn't understand why he had just received Meng Po's mission to guard Xiangzhou, and why his identity was exposed. Of course, he would never know who Meng Po belonged to in his life.

"Stupid! In front of my great celestial power, you, a mere great star, actually want to escape?" The Hades snorted coldly, and black flames suddenly swayed around his body. Clatter... In almost an instant, the two people who flew towards the Hades were shattered by the Hades' protective aura, whoosh! Almost instantly, the Dark Emperor flashed out, his figure flickering in the air, and in the blink of an eye he was behind the Xiangzhou helmsman, "Die!" Following a cold shout from the Hades, the Xiangzhou helmsman who was still running suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then his whole body was wrapped in black flames. "Ah..." A painful howl came out of the Xiangzhou helmsman's mouth, but then the crackling sound gradually covered up his gradually weakening screams, until only a bloody ball was left in its place. The Hades glanced coldly at the twisted facial features on the surface of the meat ball, and then ordered: "Kill the rest!" "Yes, Hades." This is the fate of betraying the Hades Emperor. Zhong Xiaokui bowed her head and saluted, not looking at the tragically dead helmsman. She tried her best to suppress her pounding heart, fearing that she would reveal some damn flaws... …… Luoyang. With a click, the white piece landed on the board, and the dragon-slaying momentum was complete. Jing Xiang frowned and looked at Li Zhen in front of him, saying, "What's wrong with you today? You seem a little absent-minded." Li Zhen was packing up his chess pieces while frowning and said, "The Dark Emperor has left Luoyang." Jing Xiang was puzzled and asked, "Isn't this exactly what you, me and your Majesty want?" Li Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "The Dark Emperor acted very quickly. He left Luoyang the same day he received the order. Your Majesty's subsequent appeasement methods were not used. Logically, the Dark Emperor should have realized the danger of his situation. Losing control of the Xuanming Sect's headquarters would be fatal to him. However, he left Luoyang without any hesitation. This abnormal behavior is very suspicious." Jing Xiang also reacted at this time, and said with a serious expression: "Are you saying that the Dark Emperor might have some plan in secret?" Li Zhen sighed and said, "I don't know either, I just feel like something is wrong here." Jing Xiang immediately pulled Li Zhen's sleeve and said, "Then you and I will go to see His Majesty as soon as possible so that His Majesty can respond as soon as possible." "Wait a minute, I want to see what the Dark Emperor has prepared." Li Zhen sat in his original position and said with some emotion: "Your Majesty is no longer the same as before. Since your Majesty became emperor, the once brave and warlike wise ruler has disappeared, replaced by a licentious and tyrant. I think if this continues, Daliang will not be far from being destroyed." "You!" Jing Xiang looked at Li Zhen in front of him with a shocked face, and said, "How dare you say such a treasonous thing." Jing Xiang then looked around, and when he found that there was no one else, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Are you crazy? With your majesty's current temper, you are courting death by saying such things!" "Haha... treason." Li Zhen smiled and looked at Jing Xiang and said, "Have we not done enough treasonous things? With our talents, we can't even pass the imperial examination. Those dog officials of the Tang Dynasty controlled the imperial examination to cultivate their power. At that time, I swore that one day I would make those dog officials die a miserable death and give the scholars of the world a bright and clear world." Jing Xiang's eyes showed a trace of reminiscence, and then he sighed: "Those people did die in your hands, but the world is still in the midst of war and division. Now that Daliang has just been established, you and I should still assist His Majesty. When Daliang unifies the world, you and I will also be famous for all eternity." Li Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Jing Xiang and said, "Your Majesty, do you still have the ambition to unify the world? Without Empress Zhang, who can control Your Majesty? Your Majesty is no longer able to unify the world. You and I need to make plans early." Jing Xiang was stunned. He wanted to refute Li Zhen but didn't know where to start. After a moment of silence, he looked at Li Zhen and said, "You have always disliked the Dark Emperor and you are at odds with the Zhang family. Could it be that the Second Prince has come to you?"

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Although the Second Prince's personality has changed a lot since he disappeared and returned, and he has become a little weak, but with this kind of personality, he can better listen to our advice!" Jing Xiang's eyes widened when he heard this. He wanted to support the second prince to ascend to the throne and become a complete powerful official! Li Zhen looked at Jing Xiang with cold eyes and said, "Your Majesty wins, and the Dark Emperor dies. You and I support the Second Prince to comply with the Emperor's will. If the Dark Emperor wins and Your Majesty dies, a civil war will inevitably break out in Daliang. By then, you and I will still have to take sides. The Zhang family behind the Third Prince has always been unhappy with us. The Dark Emperor has a deformed appearance and a perverse personality, so it is even more difficult for him to achieve great things. So you and I still have no choice!" (End of this chapter)
