The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"Unexpectedly, with such a meticulous plan and such strong strength, we still fell short. It seems that our Empress is truly extraordinary. After this defeat, it will not be so easy for her to recover."

Inside an ordinary old house in the capital, the Right Chancellor, who had been lying in wait for many days, received news of the morning court session.

Upon hearing this news, his expression became extremely solemn.

He never expected that after his failure, his allies, the Ninth Prince and the High Priest, would also fail!

Moreover, it failed miserably.

Even the Eighth Prince is dead!

It seems we'll have to proceed with the second plan!

And this plan...

Just as the Right Chancellor was deep in thought.

"Sir, given the current situation, what should we do?"

A figure dressed in a blood-red robe stepped forward and asked.

This person is none other than the Right Chancellor's right-hand man, a highly skilled individual he secretly cultivated.

"Have all the distinguished guests from the Western Eight Kingdoms Temple returned home?"

The left and right arms replied, "That's right, they set off to return to the Western Eight Kingdoms a few days ago. Judging from the time, they are probably already within the territory of the Yuezhi."

"What did the Fifth Prince say? Did he receive our sincerity?"

The Right Chancellor's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke calmly as always.

The right-hand man said, "The Fifth Prince has received our sincerity. The last message he sent showed that he had already shown signs of relenting. However, the Fifth Prince is quite ambitious and has his own ideas."

"Does he still want to be emperor?" The Right Chancellor sneered.

The right-hand man said, "That's right. Sir is a brilliant strategist. He said that once things are done, he must take the throne. As for us, he will give us several prefectures and counties."

"This Wu Quan is obsessed with becoming emperor, but it doesn't matter. We'll just agree to his demands. Yun Gu Lei Feng has chosen to stand on his side. The power of Buddhism should not be underestimated. Perhaps we'll need them as pawns in my hands when the time comes." The Right Prime Minister smiled faintly. Although Wu Quan had a big appetite, he still agreed.

"Yes! Understood!"

The left and right arms nodded.

"By the way, send the news here to the Spring and Autumn Villa. They need to know the cause and effect of the defeat at the Immortal City of Heavenly Desolation."

"Yes!"

His right and left arms nodded and then stepped down to carry out their mission.

"Tsk tsk, we could have won without bloodshed, but instead, things have turned out like this. Empress, why did you have to do this!"

The Right Chancellor shook his head, raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked in the direction of the Great Jing Imperial Palace, his mind preoccupied with some unknown scheme.

at the same time.

Deep beneath the Great Jing Imperial Palace lies the underground palace.

Ji Wuxin led Jia Daoshi and Ji Bingyan to the high platform built of white jade in the underground palace!

Finally, we saw the mysterious being that the High Priest and Wu Qingye had mentioned!

"This is... one person?"

Jia Daoshi was completely stunned after seeing what happened on the platform!

Because the one the high priest spoke of was a person!

But this person had antlers and fish scales on his body...

It really does look like the legendary dragon-man!

Even with his eyes closed, the aura of authority he exuded was enough to make one's heart tremble!

This is suppression based on bloodline!

Upon seeing this scene, Jia Daoshi was initially shocked, but after regaining his composure, he calmly accepted it!

Since that voyage, Jia Daoshi knew that the world was not simple.

Later, he saw the captives that Grand Tutor Shen brought back from the Beihai clan, as well as the Ice Scale Beast cub, which further confirmed his idea.

Ji Bingyan's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing this scene.

Clearly, she was unaware of her own family's amazing trump card.

She had no idea that there was such an underground palace beneath the palace!

The Eighth Prince is digging an underground palace, and the royal family is digging an underground palace. At this rate, won't the underground of this capital be completely hollowed out?

Ji Wuxin: "This is the ancestor of the Great Jing Dynasty. By chance, he ate the Dragon Essence while traveling overseas and gained an immortal body. When the Great Jing Dynasty was established, he killed countless experts from the previous dynasty. However, he was later injured by a mysterious method left by the previous dynasty and fell into a deep sleep. Not long ago, I used my life essence to successfully awaken him. This is the strongest method of the Great Jing royal family, without exception."

“Previously, I sent you out to sea to search for a treasure that could awaken the ancestor, but unfortunately, we found nothing.”

Actually, it wasn't without results. They brought back the Illusionary Sound Box from Martial God Island, but it was something left behind by Emperor Qing Tai, and they still couldn't open it.

Looking at the dragon man in front of him with his eyes closed, seemingly still asleep, Jia Daoshi could sense that the old man must be very old, even his beard was already white!

However, the aura emanating from him was much stronger than the fleeting aura that Wu Qingye had shown in the main hall earlier!

I'm afraid this aura is the legendary Divine Realm!

It's even more powerful than the Divine Realm!

No wonder Wu Qingye gave up resisting immediately after hearing what the high priest said!

Judging from the behavior of Ji Wuxin, Wu Qingye, and the High Priest, they have been planning this for a long time.

These past few years, or even more than a decade!

Such a plan would not have ended so hastily if it had not encountered unforeseen circumstances.

It's easy to imagine that for such an ambitious person to abandon his plans and surrender directly, the dragon before him must be extremely powerful!

"Jia Tisi, you don't seem surprised at all. Have you seen it before?" Ji Wuxin was somewhat surprised to see Jia Daoshi's calm expression, because this kind of creature had never appeared in the Great Jing Dynasty or even the surrounding dynasties, and it was not even rumored among the common people. It could be said to be a top secret! Apart from relevant people, no one else could possibly come into contact with it.

In the martial arts world, only the top sects would have a few words about Long.

Legend has it that there are divine dragons throughout the four seas!

If a person happens to drink dragon blood and eat dragon essence by chance, they can gain the power of a dragon, becoming immortal and indestructible, and extremely powerful!

However, her tone was very gentle at this moment, without the previous coldness and arrogance.

This tone is like that of an elder in the family having a calm and peaceful conversation with a younger person.

Jia Daoshi shook his head: "I have never seen it, but I have seen related legends in the classics of the Jinshi School and the Kumu School."

This was just something Jia Daoshi said offhand; anyway, he could say whatever he wanted about it.

Ji Wuxin stepped forward and walked to the side of the dragon man, his eyes solemn: "He is a friend of the Great Jing Ancestor. He is immortal and extremely powerful. No one knows how old he is, especially since he has been sleeping here ever since he was seriously injured. It turns out that there is really no eternal life in this world. Even if he ate the Dragon Essence, he could not stop the erosion of time and his vitality dissipated."
