I am a living immortal.

Yu Dynasty, the capital, and the Imperial Master's Office.

This is the residence of Tan Zhuang, the Prince's tutor and the current imperial teacher. In order to help the prince and prevent the emperor from extending his life, he resorted to underhanded tactics and let his disciples collude with the demon clan to take away the life-extending Ganoderma lucidum.

This move was extremely dangerous, but as a royal master, he had already covered up his traces. At worst, the disciple would die for the master.

Fortunately, his disciple was also smart. After receiving a few suggestions, he did a great job and no one was able to find any trace of the enemy.

However, the emperor would not let go of even the slightest suspicion in this kind of matter, so he was placed under house arrest in the Imperial Master's Mansion. But it was also a good thing, as he could use this excuse to move behind the scenes and let the National Defense Army attract firepower. As for why.

Although the same faction has the same goals, its interests are different.

The only goal is to send the prince to the throne. As for interests, the Imperial Master's Office and the National Defense Army are not on the same page. They are even rivals in some interests. So how can they be united? But they will not add insult to injury. After all, they are from the same faction and just cooperate with each other.

It's quite relaxing to play with birds in this Imperial Master's Mansion.

"The Imperial Observatory and its five departments are still very powerful." Tan Zhuang had to admit that the Imperial Observatory was different in his hands than in the hands of the eleventh prince.

That's right, the Imperial Observatory was in his hands at first, and later it was handed over to the Eleventh Prince because of his supernatural powers. The reason why it was so easy was certainly because of the Eleventh Prince's supernatural powers, but more importantly it was because of the emperor's balance and the fact that he could not dominate alone.

Otherwise, no matter how magical the Eleventh Prince is, it will be useless.

This made him very embarrassed for a while.

But he was helpless. He was very wary of Wang Zhen. After all, this was a person who was suspected to be the reincarnation of an immortal. In his hands, the Five Departments of Zhitian were stronger than ever before. All the hidden clues he had buried in them were eliminated without exception.

He is resourceful and has unpredictable strength. This is the person he fears the most in the entire Yu Dynasty. Fortunately, Prince Wang Zhen has no interest in the throne. He is not like the Sixth Prince who hides his ambition very well. He just has no interest or doesn't care.

“It’s really cool and comfortable.”

He thought he couldn't do it, even if he could live for several hundred years, he couldn't let go of power and status. But he was not afraid of Wang Zhen, because he still had a backup plan, which he had been accumulating for decades. As long as it succeeded...

As he spoke, his heart suddenly contracted, as if squeezed by a giant hand, and then suddenly relaxed, and blood gushed out of his throat. It was clearly fresh blood when it was spit out, but it turned into black mucus when it fell to the ground.

“This… this is…”

Tan Zhuang immediately covered his heart and tremblingly took out the life-saving pill from his sleeve. But as soon as he took it out, a suffocating feeling swept through his meridians from his heart. His magic power was wrapped in an inexplicable evil spirit and rushed around in his meridians, causing his meridians to rupture...

With a "click", the pill box fell to the ground, and a pill wrapped in wax rolled on the ground and got a little dirty. A faint voice came to Tan Zhuang's ears.

It seemed like a scolding, but also seemed to be some other tone that he didn't know.

"Foolish...don't even think about it..."

Then his eyes went dark and he fell straight to the ground. He was then discovered by the patrolling Zhitian Five Divisions. They fed the fallen pill into the mouth of the Imperial Master and dissolved it with their magic power. A medicinal fragrance came from the pill, which saved the Imperial Master's life.

The irony is that this elixir is better than the one the emperor eats.

Soon the news of the imperial teacher's fainting spread throughout the capital.

Qin Tianjian.

Wang Zhen, who had just returned, looked at the two people lying in front of him and sneered, "It's really lively. I just got back and there are so many things to do. A prince and a national teacher."

"What happened to him?" Wang Zhen asked the person from the Snake Tribe who sent the National Master.

Then the Snake Tribe told everything they had seen and heard.

Wang Zhen nodded and placed his hand on the Imperial Master. Spiritual energy slowly penetrated his body, and he frowned slightly. "The evil spirit collided with him, and his meridians were completely severed. His Qi was weakened. This is the sign of backlash. What is this Imperial Master doing? Is he just sitting around doing nothing and practicing some evil magic? If it weren't for the elixir keeping him alive, he would have died right here."

After hearing what Wang Zhen said, the faces of the Five Astronomical Officials darkened. This meant that even if he was rescued, he would be a useless person. The key point was that no matter why the national teacher became like this, the blame would inevitably fall on the Imperial Observatory. If yellow mud fell out of your trouser pocket, it would be shit anyway.

Just as I was thinking this, a quarrel broke out outside the Imperial Observatory.

"Your Highness, what should we do? You just arrived, and at such a critical moment. Do you think it might be..."

Wang Zhen was speechless: "What should I do? Throw it out. What should I do? I'm powerless. Just serve it with good food and drink. I still have to fix my damn third brother's face."

"But this is the black pot."

"Let them say whatever they want. I'm not the emperor. They can say whatever they want. But one thing is for sure: if they hear anything, I will definitely tear their mouths apart."

"Ah? So you summoned five divisions this time when you came back."

Wang Zhen looked at the people from the Snake Tribe in front of him and said suddenly, "Do you think I came back to fight for the throne?"

"Your Highness, please keep your voice down." The emperor hasn't passed away yet. The Snake Chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"What's the big deal? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Don't worry, I'm not back to fight for the throne."

"Ah?" The people of the Snake Tribe were ashamed. Why did you make such a big fuss? However, they did not say it out loud, but only slandered it in their hearts.

"What? Hurry up and throw this Imperial Master out! Don't let him die in the Imperial Observatory. It's bad luck! Next time, don't bring any garbage to the Imperial Observatory. Do you understand?"

What can the people of the Snake Tribe say? You are the boss. He lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

So outside the Imperial Observatory, before the group of disciples of the Imperial Master could make a fuss, a figure fell from the sky and several disciples caught it with their quick eyes and hands.

"You, the Imperial Observatory, are going too far!!!" The disciples' eyes widened in anger.

The man from the Snake Tribe, followed by two men from the Tiger Tribe, was not afraid of this group of people at all. He imitated the tone of his own highness and said, "Our highness said that there is no hope for him. Just keep him well fed and well fed. Also, this is the Imperial Observatory, not the Imperial Master's Residence. Go somewhere else if you want to act wild. Get out..."

After saying that, the door of the Imperial Observatory was slammed shut, showing no mercy to the other party at all. If the Imperial Master was still here, he could have gotten some face. But the Imperial Master was half dead, and he still wanted face. What a joke.

This group of disciples looked at each other in bewilderment in the cold wind, and only then did they realize what it meant to have monkeys scatter when the tree falls.
