The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 116 She Only Has One Son

Gu Yuandao stood at the door of the study, watching the palace soldiers surround the area, and several practitioners who were also from the academy carefully packed up Lin Zaisi's "body".

If that can indeed be called a body...

One of the cultivators came over with a heavy face and bowed, saying:

"Junior Brother Gu, there's not a trace of aura left in this room... I'm afraid a second-rank master did it."

"Also, we just received news that three fellow fourth-rank disciples who came from nearby were also killed."

He took a deep breath and said angrily:

"In addition to Senior Brother Lin's case, this person has written the words 'one', 'group', 'good', and 'dog' nearby. Looking at Senior Brother Lin's appearance, he's most likely a leader of the Demon Cult's 'Destroyer' sect... This demonic cult enjoys killing, so it's likely that the Demon Cult has discovered our intentions and wants to warn us."

"We have already notified the academy and the teacher, but the other brothers and sisters have important matters to attend to, so it will probably take quite some time for them to arrive."

"To quell the 'Seven Sects Rebellion', I'm afraid we are the only ones who can assist you for now..."

Gu Yuandao's face was gloomy and he shook his head.

That person thought Gu Yuandao looked down on them for their low cultivation level and said ashamedly:
"Junior Brother Gu, our strength is limited..."

Gu Yuandao immediately bowed and said in a deep voice:
"That's not the case. I'm suspecting that this might be the work of Gu Fangchen colluding with the Demon Cult."

No matter how he thought about it, it seemed impossible...

How could the people from the Demon Cult who "destroyed" the Dao suddenly appear here, and by such a coincidence, they chose to attack Senior Brother Lin and the Confucian disciples who came to help?
After much thought, even though there was no direct evidence, Gu Yuandao had a hunch in his heart—

This matter must be related to Gu Fangchen!
The man was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Gu Yuandao with an incredible look, hesitantly said:

"Junior Brother Gu, I know you must be feeling frustrated that Gu Fangchen has usurped your throne as Crown Prince. But how could Gu Fangchen possibly have the ability to invite the 'Four Phases Tribulation Master'?"

He was putting it mildly.

In fact, he almost thought that Gu Yuandao had a problem with his brain.

Even if that dandy fellow was colluding with the Demon Cult, he was at most a pawn. How could he be qualified to make the Daoist Master of "Mie" take action for him?
Junior Brother Gu, could it be that he was frightened silly by this tragic scene...

Gu Yuandao also noticed the strange look from the other side and immediately reacted, saying:
"Maybe I'm worrying too much..."

Yes, no matter how powerful Gu Fangchen is, can he still order a madman of the "Destruction" Dao around?
These lunatics don't care about any benefits. Even the Demon Cult itself finds it difficult to communicate with them. There are only a few masters of the "destruction" way like "Xingcao Jian" who are relatively pure and easy to understand.

It must have been just an accident.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Brother, please use public opinion to put pressure on Jiange, and leave the rest to me."

"Also... give Senior Brother Lin a respectful burial. His sacrifice was worth it. When the Master comes out of seclusion, we'll meet again in the world of Great Harmony."

The man's expression eased, and he nodded with great emotion:

"it is good!"

Gu Yuandao also nodded and flew towards Jiange.

When he arrived at the gate of Jiange, he was stopped by the disciples of Jiange.

"Who is coming?"

Gu Yuandao straightened his appearance and said loudly:
"The true disciple of Yaoshan Academy, the only son of Zhenbei Palace, Gu Yuandao!"

The disciples of Jiange suddenly looked at each other with very subtle expressions.

As everyone knows, there is a prince of the Zhenbei Palace in their cabinet... Now, I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch.

Gu Yuandao slowed down his tone and said politely:

"Two senior brothers, I'm here to ask to see my mother. Please inform me."

The Sword Pavilion disciple cupped his hands:
"You're welcome. It's natural to report it."

Gu Yuandao watched him leave and waited for a moment. The disciple of the Sword Pavilion looked very embarrassed.

He looked at Gu Yuandao, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

For some reason, Gu Yuandao felt a sense of foreboding, but he guessed that Gu Fangchen might have done something strange again, and said:

"Brother, what's wrong? If there's anything unexpected, please tell me directly."

He sneered in his heart. If Gu Fangchen still acted like that outside, then as long as he behaved more generously, he would naturally win people's support.

The Sword Pavilion disciple hesitated and said:

"The young lady said..."

"She only has one son, Gu Fangchen."

Gu Yuandao was stunned. These words kept echoing in his ears.

In an instant, his heart went blank. Even if he tried to comfort himself that these little feelings were unimportant and he could sacrifice them for the greater cause at any time, at this moment, he still felt an indescribable huge loss.

Then, his expression twisted for a moment.

Gu Fangchen!
What kind of magic potion did this little beast feed his mother?

He is clearly his mother's biological child, carried in her womb for ten months, so why is it such a luxury for him to even get back what is rightfully his?
Gu Yuandao lowered his head, and when he raised it again, he had returned to normal and smiled:

"That's alright, then please, Senior Brother, report this to the Pavilion Master."

Mother, I have given you a chance.

It’s all your choice!

The disciple of Jian Ge was about to say something to comfort them when he suddenly saw at least several thousand people flying from a distance, as massive as a black cloud, holding the flags of the seven immortal sects. His face suddenly changed.

Gu Yuandao raised his head and looked coldly at the towering Jiange in front of him.

When such a tall mountain collapses, it must be very spectacular...

……

"Om-"

All the nodes arranged with yin and yang magnets near Liuhua Road were activated, and invisible waves connected together to form a huge formation.

For a moment, all the sword practitioners in Liuhua Dao vaguely felt the swords in their hands tremble for a moment, and then returned to calm.

The "Dragons and Snakes Rising from the Land" formation is activated!
……

Yang Qing and the other six sect leaders stood at the front, forming a formation in front of Jiange.

Ning Wuzhen and Ning Songjun stood on the top of the mountain. The former said calmly:

"Everyone, why did you come to my Sword Pavilion for no reason?"

His voice was clearly not loud, but it was like the rumbling thunder of the Waking of Insects, rumbling across thousands of miles away, and when it reached his ears, it was deafening.

"For no reason?"

The Iron Tile Hall Master sneered and casually threw out a note:
"Exterminating evil is the duty of every one of us on the righteous path. How can this be called unwarranted? Pavilion Master Ning's words seem to be shirking responsibility!"

Ning Wuzhen took it, opened it, and saw three words written on it:
"Fulong Tie?"

The master of the Iron Tile Palace said loudly:

"Please, Pavilion Master Ning, hand over the evil sword beneath Donglong Lake to prevent the destruction of all living things!"

Ning Wuzhen and Ning Songjun looked at each other and scolded:
"Ridiculous! What evil sword?"

The master of the Iron Tile Palace said:

"With all the evidence and witnesses, could Pavilion Master Ning be lying?"

He waved his hand and an old man flew forward.

Ning Songjun's heart sank and his face changed.

It’s the old swordsmith!

The old swordsmith lowered his head and said:
"I once heard from the Pavilion Master himself that in the past, a traitor in the Sword Pavilion forged a precious sword and threw it into Donglong Lake, using the dragon veins to suppress the evil spirit. However, now... it's almost impossible to suppress it."

"But the Sword Pavilion is located on Donglong Lake, and the Pavilion Master doesn't want to relocate the entire clan. Furthermore, this precious sword is extremely rare, and if it can be recast using the original blueprint, its value is immeasurable."

He stretched out his hand, took out a blueprint, and said in a trembling voice:
"This is the sword forging method left behind by the traitor. It is genuine and the only one of its kind in the world."

Ning Wuzhen sighed when she heard this.

This old swordsmith is the person in the world most likely to forge another fine sword.

Even this drawing is probably real...

But now, he was going to use the blueprints he had drawn and a precious sword that had not yet appeared in the world to frame Jiange!
The master of the Iron Tile Palace said:

"Pavilion Master Ning, this is an old man from your Sword Pavilion. He wouldn't lie, right?"

He said with great sorrow:
"You, Jiange, are willing to disregard the safety of the people of the world for your own selfish interests. What are your intentions?"

"Today, our seven sects have united and submitted a letter to seek justice for the world!"

All the people from the seven sects drew their swords and headed towards the Sword Pavilion, saying in unison:
"Please ask the Sword Pavilion to drain the water from Donglong Lake and retrieve the evil sword!"
