But Zhao Fengya's eyes were filled with shock. He told me that this was how his father and Xu Xiao died.
But before I could even sort out my thoughts, the rain had already brutally arrived.
After a short while, Yu Tian brought Zhao Fengya to the Qian Yuan Palace.
At this moment, Zhao Fengya, dressed as an empress, sat on the dragon throne, while Yu Tian stood indifferently beside him.
"How dare you, Zhao Fengya! Is that a seat for you? Besides, your father has just died and the crown prince has also died mysteriously. Even if the throne is vacant, it is not your place to sit in this position."
An elderly member of the royal family, holding a cane, loudly and coldly rebuked Zhao Fengya.
Zhao Fengya looked blankly at Yu Tian behind her, while Yu Tian's face remained indifferent.
"Your royal uncle, Prince Jing'an, should be on his way."
A seemingly random remark from Yu Tian made Zhao Fengya even more panicked.
"Where are the Imperial Guards? Seize these two traitors!"
The elders of the royal clan shouted loudly at the Imperial Guards outside the hall.
However, before the Imperial Guards could even step into the Qian Yuan Hall, the Blazing Immortal Sword hovering beside Yu Tian directly beheaded the elder with a single strike.
"Anyone who dares to step into this Qian Yuan Hall will suffer the same fate."
As Yu Tian finished speaking, the Netherworld Sword, which had been hovering on the other side, followed the Blazing Immortal Sword and hovered directly in front of the entrance to the Qian Yuan Palace. Clearly, whoever entered would be the first to die.
"Who are you?"
When His Highness's other member of the royal family saw Yu Tian take action, he couldn't help but question him immediately.
"Me? I am a celestial being from heaven. I have come here for one purpose only: to help Zhao Fengya ascend the throne."
"If they don't submit, kill them all."
The cold, indifferent voice of the prince resounded in the ears of all the royal family members.
"Do you know that even if we agree to her ascension to the throne now, in a few days when the armies of the other lords arrive, Feng Ya will probably die without a burial place?"
The member of the royal family frowned as he spoke.
Clearly, he was telling Yutian that while he was using force to coerce them into recognizing Zhao Fengya's legitimacy to the throne, the powerful lords behind him would not accept it.
Rainy Day naturally understood what he meant.
"That's none of your concern. My current demand is for Feng Ya to ascend the throne and become emperor immediately. Otherwise, I don't recommend killing until you agree and acknowledge it."
As Yu Tian finished speaking, his aura soared to the sky, and a powerful sword intent enveloped the entire imperial sky.
At this time, Zhao Huangchao, the ancestor of the Liyang royal family who had always lived on Longhu Mountain, arrived at the Qianyuan Palace.
The moment he stepped into the Qian Yuan Palace, the Blazing Immortal Sword and the Nether Demon Sword attacked him directly.
"Ok?"
As expected of a terrestrial immortal, Zhao Huangchao reacted as soon as the auras of the Blazing Immortal Sword and the Nether Demon Sword locked onto him.
He quickly manipulated his internal energy to block the attacks from the Demon Sword and the Blazing Immortal Sword.
Yu Tian, who had been standing by the dragon throne in front of the palace, stared indifferently at Zhao Huangchao, who was struggling to resist the Demon Sword and the Blazing Immortal Sword.
He gave a cold laugh.
Immediately afterwards, he formed a sword finger with his right hand and then casually waved it, causing the Blazing Immortal Sword and the Nether Demon Sword to instantly unleash extremely strong sword energy.
They then tore through Zhao Huangchao's defenses, and then immediately dismembered him.
In just a few breaths, Zhao Huangchao, the ancestor of the Liyang royal family, died right before their eyes.
"The ancestor was killed by him just like that?"
"Didn't our ancestor already reach the realm of a terrestrial immortal?"
"It seems like he hasn't even used his full strength yet."
"What kind of monster is this? Even our ancestor couldn't withstand half a move from him. Aren't we just ants in his eyes?"
The members of the Liyang royal family instantly erupted in excitement.
"Are we really going to acknowledge a little girl?"
"Sigh, do you not agree to follow in the footsteps of the ancestor?"
Just as everyone was discussing whether to recognize Zhao Fengya's legitimacy to the throne, news of Prince Jing'an's entry into the palace reached everyone's ears.
"I wonder if it would be possible for me to enter the Qian Yuan Hall and discuss with the immortals the matter of Zhao Fengya's succession to the throne?"
The respectful voice of Prince Jing'an reached Yu Tian's ears.
The Blazing Immortal Sword and the Nether Demon Sword instantly cleared a path at the entrance of the Qian Yuan Hall.
Prince Jing'an hurriedly jogged in.
Since leaving Qingzhou on a rainy day, Prince Jing'an has been heading towards the imperial city. Although his excuse was to travel with his princess, only he knew that his real purpose was to be able to enter the imperial city as soon as possible.
Once the duel between Yu Tian and Wang Xianzhi in Wudi City ends, the agreement Yu Tian made with himself will definitely take effect immediately.
If Yu Tian loses, then naturally he will have Yu Tian kill his brother for him. Then, in this chaotic world, he will have a terrestrial celestial being as his subordinate, and the throne will be within his grasp.
If Yutian wins, he can enter the capital to assess the situation. If he is weak, he should not accept the bet. If everything goes according to Yutian's plan, he can become his own regent.
When Prince Jing'an saw Zhao Huangchao's corpse on the ground, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed.
But he knew that Yu Tian was waiting for his feedback in the Qian Yuan Hall. If he didn't express his opinion, Yu Tian might think he was going to break the contract and then deal with him like Zhao Huangchao, which would be a huge loss for him.
The regent's power was almost equal to the emperor's; it was better than dying with nothing.
"Prince Jing'an, Zhao Heng, pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"
Having figured things out, Prince Jing'an entered the Qianyuan Hall and immediately knelt down before Zhao Fengya.
Seeing that even the most powerful member of the royal family, Prince Jing'an, had compromised, what were the rest of the royal family still insisting on?
"Long live my emperor."
All the members of the royal family knelt down. The sound instantly resounded throughout the entire Qian Yuan Hall.
"Prince Jing'an, where is your Qingzhou army now?"
"Rainy day," he asked casually.
"Senior Sword Immortal, as you instructed, 852 has now left Qingzhou and is heading towards the imperial city. If anyone dares to rebel against our new emperor, I, Zhao Heng, will be the first to object."
Prince Jing'an said earnestly and loudly.
Seeing that Prince Jing'an was so understanding and generous, he did not hesitate to use the rain.
"Since that's the case, Your Majesty, you've just ascended the throne, why not directly appoint your imperial uncle as regent to help you handle state affairs?"
"Rainy day," he asked casually.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Zhao Fengya was completely flustered. He nodded and said timidly.
"The Emperor appoints Prince Jing'an, Zhao Heng, as regent, to oversee all affairs of the court."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chapter 140: The Northern Liang Rebellion, Xu Fengnian's Death
Thus, the royal infighting that everyone thought would erupt into chaos in Liyang was averted by Yu Tian's machinations, ending the infighting in the Qian Yuan Hall with the deaths of an elder member of the royal clan and Zhao Huangchao, the ancestor of the Liyang royal family.
But what no one expected was.
Less than two days after Zhao Fengya ascended the throne, the Northern Liang rebelled.
Xu Xiao died unexpectedly, and Xu Fengnian directly inherited the throne of Beiliang.
Two of Xu Xiao's five adopted sons directly led the Northern Liang army to rebel, but they were ultimately killed by Xu Fengnian.
At this point, all three continents of Beiliang were under Xu Fengnian's control.
"Xu Fengnian didn't even get the Emperor's approval, so how did he get to sit on the throne?"
Rainy Day asked in confusion.
Although he was very powerful, he genuinely knew nothing about matters of the imperial court.
“These feudal lords, who possess 300,000 iron cavalry and are self-sufficient, all have their thrones directly inherited by their heirs, even without an imperial edict.”
"Moreover, this kind of army can only follow Xu, not Liyang."
Regent Zhao Heng explained.
"If that's the case, why not send troops to punish them?"
Rainy Day asked, puzzled
...
In his eyes, this army was a cancer, a sharp sword stuck in the neck of the Li Yang royal emperor. How could the Li Yang royal family be allowed to live?
"Hehe, this is not something we can eliminate at will. Senior Sword Immortal has been in Beiliang for a long time, so you should know that the Beiliang army is the most powerful cavalry in Liyang. The Beiliang cavalry is invincible without human strength. If we want to eliminate them, we would have to use the power of the whole country. But the Northern Barbarians have always been eyeing us covetously."
"If weapons are really drawn, Liyang might be destroyed."
Zhao Heng's explanation finally made Yu Tian understand why the Li Yang royal family dared not touch the Bei Liang army.
