All of this deeply moved Cao Changqing.
At that moment, his state of mind underwent a dramatic change.
Cao Changqing's inner will has been fully awakened!
It was much earlier than when the original site was in the snowy plains.
The Grand Master of Chu, Li Mi, once said: "Of the ten most talented and elegant men in the world, our Great Chu has eight, while Cao Deyi alone has eight! And Cao Changqing has the elegance and charm of those eight, how could he not be full of vigor and high spirits?"
Why be so hesitant and full of worries every day?
He was the most successful person in the world!
He endured humiliation and hardship for the Great Chu for many years, taking every step with treacherous steps, and had long since deviated from his original intentions.
Perhaps, forging ahead bravely is the only true path!
The scholar in blue suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter revealing a carefree and elegant demeanor that transcended the years!
"Today, I, Cao Changqing, have shifted from Confucianism and Taoism to the path of hegemony, and have gone even further!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he whispered, "I regret that I entered the realm of Confucian sages too late. I regret that I abandoned Confucianism to pursue hegemony too late."
"But for now, that's enough!"
His gaze was deep as he slowly spoke: "You play black and go first."
It felt like traveling through time, whispering to someone.
Strange phenomena suddenly appeared in the sky above Tai'an City!
Before anyone knew it, a white chess box appeared beside Cao Changqing.
A black piece suddenly leaped out of the chess box and landed on the center position!
Then, something completely unexpected happened—
A dazzling beam of light descended from the sky above Tai'an City, crashing down with a sudden burst of light!
The entire city was as if it had been hit by a once-in-a-century earthquake; the heavens and earth trembled, and everything shook!
Chapter 189 Let's see if you're lucky enough to take it.
In an instant, countless tiles flew off and were lifted from the roof of the main hall of the imperial palace in Tai'an City, as well as all the other halls and pavilions! Throughout the entire city, thousands of buildings trembled violently!
It was as if a colossal beast had risen from the earth. "Kill him!"
In that instant, a deep sense of dread appeared in Emperor Zhao Chun's eyes. This fear was even more intense than when he faced Fahai!
Because Cao Changqing is a Celestial Realm expert!
He was that extraordinary figure who had entered the palace three times!
The threat to his life was even more alarming!
At the emperor's command, numerous experts surged forth like a tidal wave, heading straight for Cao Changqing.
However, Cao Changqing seemed unaware of this, and simply lifted a white piece, a smile in his eyes, and slowly placed it on the chessboard.
The second piece has been placed.
The second beam of light appeared as expected.
Tai'an City trembled once again!
Those powerful figures who rushed towards him were all repelled by this force. Immediately afterwards, Cao Changqing's movement speed increased dramatically!
Black and white chess pieces crisscross in the void!
Several chess pieces fell one after another onto the invisible chessboard.
Tai'an City shook violently once again, leaving the entire city in ruins!
The offensive not only did not diminish, but became even more fierce! The chess master of Western Chu was playing against Tai'an City with his mind!
Finally, the several Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain exchanged glances, made up their minds, and joined forces to attack. Their aura exploded forth with tremendous force, their power astounding the heavens!
The terrifying attack was unleashed by the Celestial Masters. And Cao Changqing, after this clash, had his hair turn completely white!
He used to have only a few gray hairs at his temples, but now his head is completely white.
Cao Changqing placed another piece, and this piece suddenly landed on the spot where Fahai was fighting!
The chess piece crashed down, and hundreds of soldiers died instantly. Hmm?
Although Fahai was engaged in fierce battle with tens of thousands of troops, he remained constantly aware of Cao Changqing's every move. He silently observed everything.
He was surprised by Cao Changqing's sudden appearance.
Even more perplexing is why he suddenly unleashed his domineering power and attacked the city alone.
This scene should have taken place during the spring breeze of the first year of the Xiangfu era.
At that time, Cao Changqing rebuilt Western Chu and turned to a hegemonic path.
From that time on, he became the Hegemon-King of Western Chu.
In the original work, the beginning of domineering also signifies the start of death.
Unexpectedly, his arrival caused Cao Changqing to enter this realm ahead of schedule.
It seems he'll die even sooner this time.
This deeply affectionate, dashing, and exceptionally talented man will eventually meet his end.
Just then, Cao Changqing suddenly spoke.
"Fahai, I will hold off these tens of thousands of soldiers for you. In return, you will take the life of Emperor Zhao Chun of Liyang."
Upon hearing this, Fahai burst into laughter, his voice clear and resolute.
"Of course!"
"To tell you the truth, I've actually disliked that emperor for a long time!"
Having received Cao Changqing's promise, Fahai stopped entangled with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and turned to attack Zhao Chun, who was sitting on the dragon throne on the palace steps!
"You dare!"
The Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain were enraged, their hair and beards bristling, their faces contorted in fury!
Under no circumstances should Fahai be allowed to get close to the Emperor!
The Celestial Master intervened, attempting to block Fahai's path.
Fahai coldly uttered a single word.
"roll!"
"The mighty Tianlong!"
As he finished speaking, a golden dragon coiled out, shaking the heavens and earth!
The golden dragon suddenly soared into the sky, circling between heaven and earth, and then suddenly swooped down, knocking away the oncoming Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain!
The Taoist priest coughed up blood, staggered back several feet, severely injured and barely breathing.
The dignified Celestial Master Huang Zi of Longhu Mountain was actually forced back by Fahai's single strike! "Protect the Emperor!"
Seeing the critical situation, Gu Jiantang immediately shouted an order to quickly mobilize the army to protect the emperor. His Majesty's life was at stake and could not be lost.
Before the words were even finished, soldiers had already moved at the command, rushing towards Fahai without regard for their own safety, trying to block his path with their swords. However, Fahai was like a god descending to earth, his entire body radiant and dazzling.
He has already manifested the Immovable King's Lapis Lazuli Body, which is indestructible, impervious to swords and blades, and unaffected by water and fire.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Fahai ignored the weapons at his feet and advanced relentlessly, unstoppable in his path, leaving no one in his way unscathed. He was like a god of slaughter, each step leaving a trail of blood, invincible in his wake.
Such a ferocious offensive and unparalleled momentum shocked countless people.
What a cunning Fahai!
They actually possess such formidable strength!
Unstoppable, invincible!
It's unbelievable that this person dared to defy the emperor's orders!
What on earth was he thinking?
How could an emperor be an ordinary sect leader? This is the supreme emperor of Liyang! If he were to actually kill someone, it would surely unleash a massive upheaval.
If the emperor is assassinated, the entire world will be shaken. The Li Yang Dynasty will undoubtedly spare no effort to hunt him down!
At that time, Fahai will face endless encirclement and suppression.
Even Shaolin Temple will be drawn into the turmoil as a result.
The ancient temple, which has stood for a thousand years, may be destroyed in an instant.
At this moment, even Zhao Chun felt a sense of unease.
He never expected Cao Changqing to suddenly appear.
This man of great integrity should never have had any dealings with Fahai.
Why did he come?
He is the biggest variable!
Cao Changqing not only appeared, but also released Fahai, giving him the power to challenge the emperor, and provided him with connections to help him in his actions.
With Han Diaosi dead, Fahai now has a clear objective: to seize imperial power.
At this moment, probably no one can stop him.
In the sky, Xie Guanying was engaged in a fierce battle with Nangong when he witnessed the sudden change in the situation and was greatly alarmed.
The emperor was the key figure in his scheme; he absolutely could not be allowed to die.
We must not perish at this very moment.
His grand ambitions have not yet come to fruition, and if the emperor dies, Liyang will inevitably be thrown into turmoil.
Local vassal kings, various forces, and even the Northern Liang might seize the opportunity to rebel.
