Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing Yu Changqing's words, Emperor Xia was stunned once again. He had not expected that these two people had such great ambitions.

Kill the Celestial Being?

In fact, he himself did not have such thoughts. Although he obtained that weapon, his idea was to use it as a trump card or to intimidate the Celestials so that they would not dare to attack him.

After all, it takes a lot of time to prepare to use this weapon, and it can only be used once in a short period of time.

If they cannot kill them with a single blow, they will likely have little chance of survival once the Celestials react.

At this moment, Emperor Xia looked into Yu Changqing's eyes and said, "Elder Yu, are you perhaps joking with me?"

Yu Changqing picked up the teacup on the stone table, took a sip of tea, and then continued, "With the support of the former Palace Master of Xuan Yue Palace, the Northern King will definitely lead his troops south. You have no choice."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia fell into deep thought once again.

Although they didn't like being threatened, Yu Changqing wasn't wrong. His rebellious son had already gained such great strength, and his ambition was even greater than theirs. To realize his ambition, the first thing his rebellious son would do was definitely head south to compete for the throne of Great Xia.

After seizing the throne of Great Xia, he used Great Xia to continue waging wars and then gradually annexed other dynasties.

The Great Xia Dynasty is crucial for that rebellious son, and now with the help of the Celestials of Xuan Yue Palace, his journey south is inevitable.

After a while, Emperor Xia came to his senses and asked, "Why did you kill her?"

Upon hearing this question, Yu Changqing chuckled and then said, "This is not obvious. Back then, we made outstanding contributions to the growth of Xuan Yue Palace, and even used some forbidden items, which is why our cultivation cannot advance any further in this life."

"As a result, that woman turned around and passed the position of palace master to a little girl, and even let that little girl do whatever she wanted. Now she even plans to add a divine child to Xuan Yue Palace. Where does she put us?"

Upon hearing Yu Changqing's reply, Emperor Xia understood that these two were dissatisfied with the new palace master and wanted to seize power. As long as the celestial being of Xuan Yue Palace died, these two would be able to easily control the entire Xuan Yue Palace.

From this perspective, they do indeed share common interests. For him, as long as the Celestial Being of Xuan Yue Palace dies, Xuan Yue Palace will be less of a threat in the future. After Da Xia continues to develop for several decades, Da Xia may even have the ability to destroy Xuan Yue Palace. At that time, no force or dynasty in Da Xia will be able to threaten Da Xia or him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia said, "Very well, I agree to cooperate with you."

Seeing that the Xia Emperor had agreed, Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou both smiled slightly.

Yu Changqing then said, "Now that we have cooperated, could the Xia Emperor allow us to see that weapon capable of slaying celestial beings?"

Upon hearing this request, Emperor Xia immediately became alert. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

What if these two try to snatch the weapon after seeing it? The weapon hasn't absorbed enough martial arts power and essence yet, so it can't be used right now.

Seeing Emperor Xia's wariness, Yu Changqing smiled and said, "Emperor Xia, there's no need to worry that we'll try to snatch that weapon. You possess the sacred artifact of the Xuan Yue Palace, and you've already entered the Dao Integration stage. If you use that artifact, your strength will instantly rise to the Celestial Realm. How could we possibly try to snatch your things under these circumstances?"

Upon hearing Yu Changqing's words, Emperor Xia frowned.

Yu Changqing actually knew that he had entered the Dao Integration stage and become a pseudo-celestial being!

However, this is not surprising, since both Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou are likely pseudo-celestial beings in the Dao Integration stage, which is why they were able to sense his realm.

Emperor Xia pondered for a moment, then said, "Very well, I can take you to see it."

"However, let me make this clear: if you set your sights on that weapon, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Fu Hongchou said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we just want to take a look and confirm whether that weapon truly has the ability to kill celestial beings. We have no interest in such an evil weapon."

The two of them were elders of the Xuan Yue Palace and knew some secrets about this world. They dared not take possession of such an evil weapon that required the sacrifice of a warrior to use. Such a weapon might one day turn against its master, and the master would not even know how he died.

At this moment, the Xia Emperor turned around and said, "Come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xia turned and walked towards the Imperial Study. Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou also got up from the stone bench and followed Emperor Xia to the Imperial Study.

After the three entered the imperial study, all the doors and windows closed automatically. Emperor Xia walked to the bookshelf in the imperial study and gently turned a dragon head statue on the shelf. The bookshelf began to vibrate the next moment.

Immediately afterwards, the bookshelf slowly moved aside, revealing a secret passage leading downwards in front of the three of them.

At this moment, Emperor Xia said to the two people behind him, "That place is quite far. Follow my footsteps."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xia stepped into the secret passage, and Yu Changqing and the other person quickly followed.

After Emperor Xia entered the secret passage, he used his lightness skill and moved very fast. However, Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou were still able to keep up with him easily.

The three of them ran for almost an hour before finally arriving at the place where the evil weapon was kept.

At this moment, a huge secret chamber appeared in front of them. In the center of the chamber was a circular platform, and below the platform was a bright red liquid.

Inside the secret chamber, shadow guards were constantly throwing transferred martial artists into the blood pool below. As long as a martial artist entered the blood pool, his body would soon turn into a skeleton, and the shadow guards would then fish those skeletons out.

Upon seeing this, Yu Changqing laughed and said, "Your Majesty is truly ruthless. If the various powerful forces knew that you had captured their warriors for sacrifice, they would probably do anything to storm the palace and kill you."

Emperor Xia was unconvinced; he could tell that Yu Changqing was threatening him.

At this moment, the Xia Emperor looked at the golden staff on the round platform and said, "That is the weapon capable of killing celestial beings!"

Upon seeing the weapon, both Yu Changqing and Fu Hongchou were stunned.

After regaining his senses, Yu Changqing asked in confusion, "What kind of weapon is this? Why have we never heard of this type of weapon before?"

No sooner had Yu Changqing finished speaking than Fu Hongchou said, "Elder Yu, you seem to have forgotten that our Xuan Yue Palace has a similar weapon. Chu Yue even took that weapon out of Xuan Yue Palace."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changqing immediately thought of that long box-like object.

Fu Hongchou continued, "Although these two weapons are different in shape, judging from their usage methods, they are probably both activated from a distance, and that weapon also requires certain conditions to be used."

Hearing their conversation, Emperor Xia was utterly shocked.

What? The Xuan Yue Palace also has similar weapons?

Even if he helped those two kill the old master of Xuan Yue Palace, with that weapon, he probably still wouldn't be able to destroy Xuan Yue Palace in the future. (End of Chapter)
