The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

However, she soon lost.

She felt completely drained and would probably only be able to walk by holding onto the wall for support in a while.

"Time is tight today, we have important things to do. We'll fight again tomorrow!"

Two hours passed, and seeing that the effects of the medicine in Li Yourong's body had completely worn off and the palace was in sight, Qin Changye reluctantly put her down.

Soon, another group of people blocked their way.

The eldest prince was in the lead.

Looking at the ten princes of the former Great Zhou Dynasty, if the strongest in secret was the sixth prince Zhou Tianci, then the strongest in public was definitely the eldest prince Zhou Tianlong.

"So, you were also sent by the Empress to kill me?"

Qin Changye looked at Zhou Tianlong.

Zhou Tianlong nodded without hesitation.

Qin Changye was immediately puzzled: "In my memory, when the late emperor was still alive, you were the most favored among the ten princes, and you received the most rewards. Now that the truth is out, the late emperor was poisoned by the empress. Instead of thinking about killing the empress to avenge the late emperor, you obeyed the empress's orders to kill me. Aren't you afraid of having your back broken?"

Zhou Tianlong remained unmoved, his murderous intent undiminished: "I don't care about that. In my eyes, there is only the throne. For the throne, I can give up anything."

Qin Changye's expression grew even more puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that the Empress is using you as cannon fodder, and even if you really kill me, the Empress won't pass the throne to you?"

Zhou Tianlong shook his head: "Of course I'm not afraid, because not long ago, the Empress swore a blood oath in front of us nine princes that whoever kills you will inherit the throne. With the blood oath binding her, she will not break her promise, otherwise she will be punished by heaven."

Qin Changye was somewhat surprised; the Empress was quite decisive, relinquishing the throne so readily.

Or was she absolutely certain that these nine princes couldn't kill her?

Zhou Tianlong paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, I have always admired you. I have even thought more than once about recruiting you into my ranks. But now it seems that we are not destined to be together. Today I must kill you. As for my father, I believe that if he saw me so ambitious in the afterlife, he would not only not blame me, but would also be very pleased."

As more and more people arrived and stood behind him, especially an old man with a face full of black spots, Zhou Tianlong instantly revealed a confident expression.

He drew his sword from his waist: "Alright, my men are almost all here, there's no need to waste any more words with you."

As far as the eye could see, there were many people behind Zhou Tianlong, including many important officials in the court, and military generals accounted for one-third of the entire court.

sizzle...

Gasps of astonishment filled the air. Everyone knew the Crown Prince had a strong foundation, but no one expected it to be this strong.

I originally thought that the sixth prince, Zhou Tianci, was the one who was hiding the truth the most, but now it seems that I was wrong. The first prince, Zhou Tianlong, is the one who is hiding the truth the most.

"So, can you give me another chance?"

Qin Changye was actually giving Zhou Tianlong and his supporters a final chance.

Unfortunately, Zhou Tianlong shook his head without hesitation, and none of his supporters turned to leave.

Since they won't take a toast, then they might as well eat shit!

Without Qin Changye needing to say anything, Li Yourong and Xiuer, who had just finished scattering kraft paper while riding the silver eagle, moved at the same time.

Zhou Tianlong has a group of supporters, including high-ranking officials and generals in the imperial court, assassins and killers in the martial arts world, and carefully trained mobs and assassins.

The number of them was three times that of Zhou Tianxiong's supporters, and their quality was also higher. There were three of them who were at least at the fifth level of the King Martial Realm.

Seeing that Li Yourong and Xiuer were struggling to hold on, the three Blood-Clad Guard elders behind Qin Changye also made their move and instantly gained the upper hand.

Qin Changye still did not make a move, his gaze fixed on the old man with a face full of black spots behind Zhou Tianlong.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is Zhou Tianlong's strongest supporter.

Sure enough, seeing his many supporters being slaughtered by Li Yourong and others, Zhou Tianlong's expression changed drastically.

Once he ascends the throne, he will need these people to continue serving him; they cannot be wiped out.

"Deacon Wang, please make a move!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianlong bowed respectfully to the old man with black spots.

The entire audience was shocked.

They had initially thought that the old man with black spots was just Zhou Tianlong's personal servant, but seeing Zhou Tianlong's respectful attitude, their previous conclusion was instantly overturned.

The old man with black spots didn't rush to attack, calmly saying, "I can take action, but you previously promised that once you become the Emperor of Great Zhou, you would hand over 30% of the national treasury's revenue to our Qing Shou Sect every year. In addition, you would also offer 3,000 boys and girls annually. You should fulfill those promises, right?"

His words were astonishing!

It turned out that this old man with black spots was actually a steward from the Qingshou Sect.

In the Great Wilderness, Qing Shou Sect is naturally not comparable to top-tier forces such as the Chu Sheng Sect and the Wushuang Holy Land, but it is still a very powerful first-class force, far beyond what ordinary dynasties can match.

Like the First Saint Sect, it has always prided itself on being a prestigious and righteous sect, but recently it has suffered some setbacks. It is said that it captured many young boys and girls and conducted experiments that violated the laws of nature...

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Tianlong had colluded with the Qing Shou Sect and even promised such enormous benefits.

Facing the indignant gazes of the crowd, Zhou Tianlong's expression also turned somewhat ugly. He lowered his voice and said, "Deacon Wang, I will naturally fulfill all the promises I made to your Qing Shou Sect. This is a private transaction between us; there's no need to announce it in front of so many people, is there?"

The old man with black spots didn't seem to care: "I think this is a matter of great importance. It's better to say it publicly so everyone can witness it, so that you won't go back on your word after our Qingshou Sect helps you become emperor!"

Zhou Tianlong grew increasingly furious. Revealing such a sordid deal in public caused him to lose a lot of public support, which would be detrimental to his future ascension to the throne.

However, he dared not speak out against the old man with black spots.

Fortunately, the old man with the black spots then made his move, unleashing his aura as a peak ninth-level King Martial Realm expert without reservation.

This level of cultivation gave the black-spotted old man great confidence. Looking across the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, apart from the Empress, he was an invincible existence.

"You all step back, let me handle this!"

Qin Changye personally drew his sword and engaged the black-spotted old man in battle.

In order to lure more people with ill intentions and eliminate all potential threats in one fell swoop, Qin Changye did not use his full strength. He fought the old man with black spots for more than a dozen rounds, and they were evenly matched.

"To have such cultivation at such a young age is astonishing, even among the core disciples of our Qingshou Sect."

The old man with black spots looked surprised. If Zhou Tianlong hadn't given him so much, he would have even had the urge to take Qin Changye into his sect.

Unable to defeat Qin Changye, the old man with black spots suddenly looked at Zhou Tianlong: "This kid is too tough to beat, we need to pay more!"
