Emperor Yuanjing slowly raised his hand to signal the other party to stand up, then let out a long sigh.
"Alas..." A sigh, not only containing the immense burden on the shoulders of a monarch,
It also revealed an undisguised deep concern.
"I am indeed very troubled lately!"
Now Wei Changxuan has established himself firmly in the capital, and his power has expanded rapidly, making him virtually invincible.
Even imperial power faced unprecedented challenges and threats.
As he spoke, his words were heavy with a sense of helplessness.
However, if someone could observe the emperor's eyes more closely,
Then it's not hard to discover that a deep, dark light is hidden there—
This was an emperor with extremely deep thoughts.
Wei Changxuan's rise to power threatened the imperial authority.
In Emperor Yuanjing's view, this was not a bad thing, but a good thing.
Because he himself intended to dissipate the 17 years of the Great Feng Kingdom's fortune so that he could gain the opportunity for immortality.
But he absolutely could not allow the Wei family—whether it was Wei Changxuan or Wei Yuan—to take over his power.
After all, Wei Yuan's goal was completely opposite to that of Emperor Yuanjing.
He would never allow the Wei family to become too powerful, so both Wei Yuan and Wei Changxuan had to die!
Upon hearing this news, the Prince of Zhenbei felt a chill run down his spine.
The matter concerning the Wei family is nothing new.
And before Wei Changxuan showed his talent.
Wei Yuan was already at the height of his power.
But no one expected that the Wei family would produce such a powerful martial artist.
But it wasn't until today that I truly understood how harmful it was.
"Hmph, that traitor Wei is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
The Prince of Zhenbei squinted and pondered for a moment, then solemnly stated:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. That fellow surnamed Wei has merely temporarily seized some advantageous conditions."
There's nothing particularly outstanding about him.
Your humble servant assures you that you will do everything in your power to eliminate this calamity and restore peace to the land.
The Prince of Zhenbei spoke with unwavering conviction.
Seeing the Prince of Zhenbei's attitude, Emperor Yuanjing nodded calmly on the surface.
In truth, a faint smile crept across his face.
"How's the plan in Chuzhou going?"
Emperor Yuanjing looked at the Prince of Zhenbei, a solemn expression in his eyes.
After all, the massacre in Chuzhou refined the Blood Pill, boosting the strength of the King of Zhenbei to the peak of the third rank.
It was actually Emperor Yuanjing—or rather, Emperor Zhende—who orchestrated it all!
"Yes, Prince Zhenbei, you should know the value of this Blood Pill."
According to the descriptions of the members of the Witch God Cult.
This item possesses immense power; if one could successfully refine it and absorb its power...
Perhaps dealing with Wei Changxuan will become much easier.
Once your strength reaches the peak of the third-grade martial arts mastery, that will be enough.
In addition, there's the furnace I've prepared for you—the Princess Consort of Zhenbei, Mu Nanzhi.
Then you will be able to more easily advance to the second rank of Dao Integration Warrior.
A second-rank martial artist, plus my attempt to break through to the first-rank Taoist arts.
Then Wei Changxuan is definitely no match for us!
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhenbei maintained his composure and replied:
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations."
However, this miraculous medicine was no ordinary medicine; the power it contained was far too domineering.
Dangerous situations may occur during cultivation.
Therefore, we earnestly request Your Majesty to provide on-site guidance or protection, so as to ensure the smoothest possible process.
Emperor Yuanjing nodded in agreement, saying, "Very well, I will do my utmost to protect you."
"Focus on refining it, but do not slack off in the slightest."
……
At this moment, the Prince of Zhenbei sat cross-legged in the center of the secret chamber.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze.
It was so quiet that you could only hear his own breathing.
Then, he took out the legendary Blood Pill from his pocket.
This pill was entirely blood-red, radiating an eerie and demonic glow.
It appears even more extraordinary against the backdrop of the dim light in the enclosed room.
It trembled gently, as if it had a life of its own, radiating a mesmerizing rhythm.
The Prince of Zhenbei took a deep breath, as if making final preparations for himself, and then slowly put the blood pill into his mouth.
In an instant, an unprecedentedly violent force, like a flood bursting its banks, surged into the meridians throughout his body.
The impact was so great that he almost lost control of his body.
Instantly, the sensation of countless tiny creatures relentlessly gnawing at my body swept over my entire being.
The Prince of Zhenbei's face instantly turned deathly pale.
Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead one after another.
His clothes were quickly soaked.
He clenched his teeth tightly, his muscles stiff as if they were a taut bowstring.
Every nerve was struggling between violent spasms and contractions.
The pain at this moment has surpassed the current limits of human endurance.
He desperately wanted to stop it all, but a stubborn determination kept him going.
"The power of this blood pill is far more terrifying than I imagined..."
"But that's perfect, it'll help me break through my limitations!"
But what's done is done, there's no turning back now, he could only choose to continue enduring it.
In the shadows outside the secret chamber, Emperor Yuanjing stood quietly, his face grave as he watched the Prince of Zhenbei being tortured, his heart filled with complex emotions.
"I hope you can hold on, if you can get through this difficult time safely."
After all, this concerns my entire plan.
If it fails...!
He shook his head, seemingly unwilling to think in that direction.
As time went by, the aura of the King of Zhenbei within the secret chamber grew weaker and weaker.
His consciousness began to blur, and he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless world filled with wails and desperate cries.
Yet even in such a pitch-black space, his powerful desire to survive and his relentless pursuit of supreme power still lingered.
To achieve these goals, he had to repeatedly mobilize every last bit of his strength to fight the invaders.
Just as he was about to fall into a coma.
Suddenly, a warm sensation gradually rose from his dantian.
It spread along the main blood vessels to the limbs and bones, which gave the Prince of Zhenbei, who had been driven to the brink of despair, a pleasant surprise.
"Looks like our chance has come!"
With this in mind, the Prince of Zhenbei quickly seized this rare opportunity.
Focus your energy on guiding the newly emerging gentle energy, allowing it to slowly circulate through the major meridians.
As her condition gradually improved, her originally pale and bloodless face slowly regained a touch of vitality.
At the same time, the rapid and disordered breathing also calmed down considerably.
Seeing this, Emperor Yuanjing, who had been standing aside silently watching the whole process unfold, relaxed his brow a little.
"It looks like this guy might actually be able to get through this crisis."
He muttered to himself, while his mind raced, calculating rapidly—
—If the Prince of Zhenbei is indeed able to successfully complete this trial in the end,
His strength will be greatly enhanced by then, and he will be more confident in dealing with Wei Changxuan.
Finally, the Prince of Zhenbei suddenly opened his eyes.
Two incredibly sharp beams of light shot out from his eyes, piercing the darkness like swords.
He sat up abruptly in bed, an aura so powerful it made the air tremble emanating from him.
This aura was like a majestic mountain range, heavy, solid, and full of oppressive power.
It is enough to inspire awe in others.
At that moment, he felt an unprecedented power within his body.
