Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

The destruction of the Seven Stars Sect by the Xu family did indeed violate the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty.

During the morning court session, several ministers, at the behest of the Ninth Prince, submitted a memorial to Emperor Qi, demanding that the Xu family be severely punished.

Almost everything in the Great Qi Dynasty was under the control of the Qi Emperor. He knew that the Xu family had destroyed the Seven Stars Sect, and he also knew that the minister who submitted the memorial was a man of the Ninth Prince. He knew the Xu family better than the Ninth Prince did.

Emperor Qi, his blood flowing like a dragon, sat upright on his throne, his golden eyes calmly surveying the officials below.

"Is there any evidence to prove that the Xu family destroyed the Seven Stars Sect?"

this....

The ministers looked at each other.

"Has anyone witnessed this?"

The ministers fell silent again. Although they did not know the reason, they understood that Emperor Qi clearly did not want to touch the Xu family.

If they wanted to take action against the Xu family, they wouldn't need any evidence; they could just issue an imperial decree.

Disobeying the Emperor of Qi was an extremely foolish act. After understanding the Emperor's true thoughts, the ministers dared not continue to discuss the matter, and it was left unresolved.

The Ninth Prince was furious when he found out.

"Why! Why doesn't Father Emperor take action against the Xu family! If the Xu family continues to grow like this, they will surely become a great threat!!"

The Ninth Prince felt this was a perfect opportunity to deal with the Xu family, and he thought the Emperor Qi would definitely agree, but unexpectedly he opposed it.

The strategist Gu Yuanbai said, "Your Majesty is a man of great talent and ambition; there must be a reason for doing this."

"What's the reason?" the Ninth Prince turned and questioned.

Gu Yuanbai guessed, "Perhaps His Majesty has a bigger plan and does not want to alert the enemy. After all, the Xu family and the Lingyue Sect's Wanbao Pavilion have a close relationship. Taking action against the Xu family rashly would have far-reaching consequences."

The Ninth Prince has exceptional talent in cultivation, even slightly surpassing Su Xinyan, but he is indeed lacking in strategic vision and wisdom.

Gu Yuanbai had already made it very clear, but he still didn't understand. He thought that Emperor Qi was hesitant and timid because of Lingyue Sect and Taixu Sect, which was why he hadn't ordered a severe punishment for the Xu family.

At this moment, inside the palace, the two brothers, Emperor Qi and King Zhenwu, stood facing each other.

Emperor Qi said slowly, "The development of the Xu family has exceeded my expectations. It seems that matter will have to be brought forward."

King Zhenwu nodded.

"In that case, let's move forward. The restless Lingyue Sect, the Wanbao Pavilion which is unwilling to remain neutral, and the Taixu Sect which was not as obedient as before, all need to be taught a lesson."

At this moment, Emperor Qi suddenly asked again, "In your opinion, which of the eldest, third, and ninth sons is most suitable to become the true crown prince?"

King Zhenwu hesitated slightly.

Although he was the younger brother of Emperor Qi and had helped the emperor seize the throne, and was the only one of Emperor Qi's many brothers still alive, he still had to be careful what he said on this matter.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly analyzed the situation.

"Old Nine has great talent and should be able to cultivate to the Dharma Aspect Realm in the future, catching up with or even surpassing several ancestors, but he is slightly lacking in strategy and overall vision."

"The third son is capable in political maneuvering and strategy, but his relationship with the Great Chu is too close. If he does not wake up in time, it may lead to a great disaster in the future."

"The eldest brother is extremely shrewd and calculating, but his performance in other aspects is average."

He only offered his assessment of the three strong contenders for the throne, without directly stating who was the most suitable, which was quite shrewd of him.

.....

The Xu family was overjoyed with their great victory, but Yu Shufei's pretty face always carried a hint of worry.

"Don't you think there's a problem?"

Xu Qingzhou countered, "What question?"

“The royal family is too calm, as if nothing has happened. This shouldn’t be normal,” Yu Shufei replied in a low voice.

Whether it was the Great Qi, the Black Feather, or the Great Chu Dynasty, the royal families were all extremely domineering, wanting to control everything to the extreme.

The royal family dislikes the sudden outbreak of such a major war between powerful forces, especially the potential annihilation of one side, as it makes them feel as if they are being out of control.

Therefore, the Xu family's destruction of the Seven Stars Sect was a violation of the law.

Under normal circumstances, the royal family would order severe punishment.

But this time, the royal family made no move at all, which was exactly what puzzled Yu Shufei.

Xu Qingzhou frowned slightly. "You mean, the royal family might be planning something big?"

“Possibly,” Yu Shufei said in a deep voice.

Xu Qingzhou knew that having an elder in the family was like having a treasure, and if there was anything he didn't understand, he could just ask Xu Luo.

Moreover, when he left, he revealed in his heart that a major event would occur in the Great Qi Dynasty in the next few years.

Xu Qingzhou wanted to get some information out of him to understand this important matter so he could make preparations in advance.

Xu Qingzhou went to the front yard and patted Little Grey.

"Go and call your master here."

Little Grey looked at him.

My goodness, what are you saying! You are my master! I'm not familiar with the one you're talking about!

Xu Qingzhou waved his hand.

"Go quickly."

Okay, Uncle!

Little Grey skipped and hopped away.

Xu Luo arrived shortly after.

"Sixth Uncle, you were looking for me?"

Sitting at the table, Xu Qingzhou pointed to the chair next to him and asked casually.

When do you plan to leave next?

Xu Luo said, "This trip was very fruitful. Mu Ge and I need to take some time to reflect and won't be leaving for the next two or three years."

There are still two and a half years until that event occurs. Only after that event will I feel at ease enough to travel far away.

Xu Qingzhou voiced Yu Shufei's concerns.

Xu Luo said, "It is indeed a bit unusual."

[Perhaps this is a good opportunity to tell Sixth Uncle about that matter in advance.]

ponder for a moment.

Xu Luo added, "I met a few friends with special abilities on this trip, and I asked them to investigate."

Previously, they created a teacher out of thin air; this time, they've created a friend out of thin air.

Xu Qingzhou was quite at ease entrusting this matter to Xu Luo.

And so, about six months passed.

An incident that occurred in Huaixi County has sparked heated discussions and even caused widespread panic.

When the three true disciples of Taixu Sect went out for training, they encountered demonic cultivators. Only with the desperate efforts of their three senior brothers were their junior brother able to escape back to Taixu Sect.

Afterwards, the Taixu Sect sent elders to search for the demonic cultivators, but to no avail.

Xu Qingzhou, who rarely goes out, was unaware of this matter; it was Yu Shufei who told him.

Xu Qingzhou exclaimed in surprise, "Demonic cultivators? There haven't been any demonic cultivators in the three great dynasties for many years, have there?"

Xu Qingzhou had only heard about demonic cultivators from others. They all said that demonic cultivators were bloodthirsty and cruel, and that their cultivation was all related to killing. In order to improve their cultivation, they were all bloodthirsty.

But Xu Qingzhou had never seen what a real demonic cultivator was like and didn't know.

Yu Shufei nodded. "The three great dynasties do not allow the existence of demonic cultivators. If they do appear, they will be exterminated without exception."

"I heard that several hundred years ago, there was a demonic sect within the Great Chu Dynasty. At that time, the disciples of the demonic sect launched a large-scale attack on the sects of the Great Chu Dynasty in order to cultivate, killing many cultivators."

"Although the Demonic Sect was destroyed later, many sects within the Great Chu Dynasty, especially first- and second-rate sects, suffered heavy losses. Countless disciples and elders were lost, and their overall strength plummeted. It took hundreds of years for them to recover."

"The discovery of demonic cultivators within the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty is not good news."

Xu Qingzhou vaguely felt that the demonic cultivator was related to the major event that Xu Luo had mentioned.

Coincidentally, not two days later, Xu Luo came to find Xu Qingzhou.
