You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 89 The Oath of Heaven

Soon, in less than a day, the people they sent to gather information returned.

Now, the news of the annihilation of the Ye and Su families has spread throughout the entire Great Qin Dynasty. There's no need to inquire further; you can find out by asking anyone outside.

Upon receiving the news, Ying Xiao and the others were devastated. Their families were their support; without their families, even if they succeeded in assassinating Ying Chen, they would not have the strength to secure the throne of the Great Qin Emperor.

"Hmph! Now you believe me, right? With your family gone, what makes you think you can assassinate Ying Chen?"

Tiger, seeing this, was secretly pleased and made a sarcastic remark.

"Humph!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Nascent Soul expert from the Su family appeared directly in front of him and threw a punch.

Hu Li's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Hu Li to make a sudden move and was scrambling to defend himself.

Despite his quick reaction, he was still knocked hundreds of meters away.

"Boss!"

Upon seeing this, the demons who had come with Huli shouted anxiously.

"Even if our entire clan is wiped out, you are not someone to be trifled with..."

The Nascent Soul expert from the Su family, his hair and beard bristling, spoke in a chilling tone.

"Ahem! I'm just stating the facts! I don't know why I ever cooperated with such short-sighted people like you before. I'm out of here..."

Hu Li stood up, his face grim.

To be humiliated like this in front of one's own subordinates, even if the demon race doesn't value such things as much as the human race.

However, he was also a little embarrassed and turned to leave.

"Senior Tiger Force, please wait a moment!"

Seeing that Hu Li was about to leave, a look of anxiety flashed across Ying Xiao's face.

Their success in assassinating Ying Chen hinges on Hu Li; if he leaves, their chances of success will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, you must never anger the other party.

"What, is there anything else?"

Hu Li turned around and said coldly.

“Senior Tiger Power, you may not know this, but Ying Chen has no children. Once he dies, the Qin royal family will definitely choose one of his brothers to inherit the throne. And I and Prince Qi are the most likely to inherit the throne. If you help us, once one of us successfully inherits the throne, we will definitely fulfill our previous promise…”

Ying Xiao said anxiously.

Upon hearing his words, Huli hesitated.

He seemed to be pondering the veracity of Ying Xiao's words.

"Do you dare to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao?"

After a moment, Huli still couldn't make up his mind to leave and hesitantly spoke.

Upon hearing Hu Li's words, Ying Xiao paused for a moment, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes.

Seeing his appearance, Huli sneered.

"Heh! You call this your sincerity? Do you think I'm stupid?"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait! I am willing..."

Seeing that they were about to leave, Ying Xiao called out.

"Your Highness can't!"

Seeing that Yingxiao was about to agree to the other party's request.

The Nascent Soul expert from the Su family's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

"I have made my decision..."

Ying Xiao glanced at him indifferently and said.

The Su family patriarch could only retreat with a face full of resentment.

Then, Ying Xiao raised his right hand above his head and said, "I hereby swear that once I ascend the throne of Great Qin, I will cede Shuofeng Prefecture to Huli, allowing him to establish his own independent kingdom. If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth..."

Boom~~

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang rang out in the sky, seemingly in response to Ying Xiao.

At the same time, a mysterious power merged into the bodies of Ying Xiao and Hu Li respectively.

Seeing this, Ying Heng, who was standing nearby, revealed a meaningful smile.

This Ying Xiao is truly laughable; he's so confident that he's the one who will sit on the throne.

They didn't even ask if I, the king, would agree.

However, this is also good. We can use these demons to successfully assassinate Ying Chen, and then wipe out Ying Xiao and the Su family together.

He could avoid the backlash of his vow and also eliminate his last obstacle—a win-win-win situation...

"In that case, we'll trust you one more time..."

Sensing the special energy within his own consciousness, Hu Li also spoke.

"It would be a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

Ying Xiao smiled and spoke.

"Happy cooperation!"

Huli also replied.

............

Above the sky, a dragon-drawn carriage pulled by nine dragon shadows streaked across the sky at high speed.

Tens of thousands of troops followed behind him.

"Your Majesty, we are approaching Shuofeng Prefecture..."

Cao Zhengchun approached Ying Chen and spoke.

Upon hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Ying Chen withdrew from his cultivation, opened his eyes, and said calmly, "Has any news come?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan has sent word that those rebels have allied with the demon race of Shuofeng Prefecture, planning to have them drive demonic beasts to attack your carriage. While your powerful advisors are away, they will send assassins to kill you..."

Cao Zhengchun replied respectfully.

"Ha! Demons? They do have some brains; they didn't plan to charge straight at us..."

Ying Chen revealed a mocking expression and spoke.

"Then let's take this opportunity to wipe out the demon race in Shuofeng Prefecture as well!"

"Here!"

Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

Subsequently, Ying Chen's carriage accelerated, and the army behind him also sped up at the same time.

"coming!"

On a mountaintop in Shuofeng Prefecture, Ying Xiao saw the carriage in the distance, his expression hardening. He said, "Get ready!"
