Sheng Fu

Chapter 1198 A Small Trick to Deflect a Great Weight
King Zhen'an, with a hearty and enthusiastic gesture, took Chief Xiu Shenzhu's hand and raised it high, proclaiming loudly, "With the three clans united in heart and effort, what fear is there of the wolf cavalry not being subdued!"

The soldiers cheered and their morale soared.

Chief Xiu Shenzhu looked around at everyone and laughed loudly, "It is truly an honor for our demon realm to fight alongside such outstanding individuals as you!"

Prince Zhen'an casually put his arm around your shoulder and grinned, saying, "Tonight we won't leave until we're drunk. We'll definitely have a three-hundred-round battle at the dinner table."

The arrival of reinforcements filled the city with cheers and laughter.

Standing next to Pu Weiqing, King Linghe could not laugh out loud. He whispered to Pu Weiqing, "This must be Yuwen Jun's special dispatch because he was worried that Tie Mang City would fall."

Pu Weiqing had heard about the popularity of this heterochromatic prince among the Spirit Clan, so he did not want to discuss this matter in depth with the Prince of Linghe. He replied calmly, "I am not aware of this matter. Although I am Yuwen Jun's elder, he is currently in a higher position than me. I have no right to participate in some major decisions."

Upon hearing this, Linghe Wang's eyes flashed with suspicion. He wanted to continue speaking, but seeing Pu Weiqing's attitude, he could only give up.

It's truly remarkable that the Demon Realm can muster ten thousand elite troops these days. Tonight's feast must be well-done.

"Let's go, let's go inside and have a drink," Linghe Wang said, feigning cheerfulness.

……

Human race, imperial capital.

The seventh floor of Hongyanlou.

The Eight Treasures Feast was the same as always, but it just didn't taste the same as it used to.

What was once considered a delicacy when one was in a humble position is now merely an accessory when one is in a high position.

Looking at Jing Peiyao, who seemed lost in thought, Yuwen Jun said softly, "You should know that coming to the capital for a meal is not just about revisiting familiar places."

Jing Peiyao said coldly, "I know you just want to tell the Emperor clearly that my Ziwei True Essence is flawless and that I have successfully found another way."

"At the same time, it is also a direct message to the Emperor that you have the support of Senior Yan Lie behind you."

"You don't need to ask me such stupid questions anymore."

Having just accomplished her mission, Jing Peiyao was furious that someone's whims had been satisfied. The thought that she was no match for Yuwen Jun only fueled her anger.

The more triumphant someone is now, the more frustrated the Empress's successor becomes.

Jing Peiyao has been practicing diligently since childhood, and all she seeks is to stand at the pinnacle.

In the end, her position in front of someone was still nothing more than the position a woman should have.

Despite their deep affection for each other, the disparity between them is truly striking.

Yuwen Jun suddenly smiled wickedly and said, "Eat your food properly. You are really beautiful."

Jing Peiyao ignored it and focused on eating.

Little did Yuwen Jun know, he found Jing Peiyao truly beautiful on his bed...

In the royal palace, in the royal study.

His Majesty's physical injuries are gradually improving, but his mental illness is getting worse.

The study was resplendent in gold and jade, but only the Emperor was there.

Tonight, he is a lonely king.

In the old days, when I felt bored, I could invite Qiuqing over to chat and relieve my boredom. But Qiuqing has passed away, and thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad.

Although Li Hongshan and Xu Canghai could be conversational companions, the only person the Emperor truly recognized in his heart was Qiu Qing.

That's how monarchs are: they are practical people who like to use both capable and scoundrels, but when it comes to making friends, they prefer pure and upright gentlemen.

Suddenly, the Human Emperor frowned. "To think they've reached this point so quickly, the Vermilion Bird Clan is truly a force to be reckoned with." The Human Emperor smiled knowingly.

Some feelings are complicated.

From a public perspective, His Majesty hopes that Jing Peiyao can cultivate the Ziwei True Essence to perfection. With one more powerful figure, the human race's chances of winning in the great struggle will increase by one percent.

Personally, the Emperor did not want Jing Peiyao to truly cultivate the Purple Star True Essence to perfection...

"So be it. Since we've come this far, let's just go with the flow," the Emperor said with a bitter smile.

His Majesty also harbored deep confusion.

Yuwen Jun once said that the remaining Origin Chips might be in the hands of a powerful ancient being. Sure enough, not long after, a Vermilion Bird King who mastered the Seven Killings True Essence appeared.

Unfortunately, this Vermilion Bird King has some connection with the Dragon Clan.

Did they know the Vermilion Bird King long ago, or was it just a coincidence?

No matter how Yuwen Jun explained, it was somewhat weak, but Yuwen Jun did not specifically explain this matter.

His Majesty the Emperor naturally felt that Yuwen Jun was betting everything on something else.

He established the Hengchang Sect among humans and now holds power in the Demon Realm behind the scenes. He has the strong support of the royal family and the Yixi Sect among the Spirit Clan, and now he also has the support of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

The young man's wolfish ambitions have been laid bare.

The Human Emperor was well aware that the human race would likely become a mere supporting character in this great struggle. His ambitions and obsessions vanished the moment the Vermilion Bird King appeared.

But the fierce battle had to continue.

Thinking of this, His Majesty was extremely angry.

Whether it was because they cherished Yuwen Jun's talent or felt that Yuwen Jun had great value, they genuinely gave Yuwen Jun unlimited power.

However, Yuwen Jun is now truly on equal footing with the Emperor.

It wasn't that the Emperor lacked magnanimity, but rather that Yuwen Jun's rise to power was too rapid, making it difficult for him to accept this fact in a short period of time.

In any case, Yuwen Jun is in an invincible position.

"From now on, you can no longer address him as Your Highness, you must address him as Your Majesty!" the Emperor suddenly said with a chuckle.

Inside Hongyanlou.

Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao ate slowly and deliberately. They originally wanted to visit the Inner Cabinet, but after thinking it over, they decided to give up. Jing Peiyao had just completed her mission and was eager to go to the Inner Cabinet to face the Prime Minister of the Human Race. This move would inevitably make His Majesty the Human Emperor deep in the palace think about some things.

One must always be mindful of the appropriate degree of caution.

One should not become arrogant or complacent just because one has a high position.

“I know you are eager to test your current strength, so I plan to send you to Iron Mang City to assist me. What do you think?” Yuwen Jun suddenly asked.

Pu Weiqing was there too. If Jing Peiyao went there, she would feel more confident and be able to show her talents more freely.

Let's just say it's to let Jing Peiyao be a hero invincible on the battlefield and have some fun.

With the blessing of the Purple Star Holy Sword, Jing Peiyao is capable of fighting against a Wuji powerhouse.

The Empress's successor suddenly looked up, a look of suspicion in her clear eyes, and asked, "Are you really so comfortable letting me go to the battlefield to fight? Aren't you worried about what might happen to me?"

Even though Jing Peiyao's head wasn't as valuable as Yuwen Jun's, it was still priceless.

Yuwen Jun smiled helplessly and said, "His Majesty the Emperor may be feeling a bit emotional right now, so we need to appease Emperor Ling in our attitude. Even if it's just a formality, it can help bring the delicate state of public sentiment towards a more peaceful state."
