Under the old man's gaze, Zhao Gao felt a sudden and inexplicable terror, and his heart trembled uncontrollably!

While trying to control the trembling in his heart, Zhao Gao bowed deeply towards the imperial mausoleum!

We must show due respect to the strong, especially those stronger than ourselves!

Seeing Zhao Gao's reaction, the old man withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing Zhao Gao's behavior, the guards at the gate seemed to realize something and did not make things difficult for him!

After carefully examining the token, he let Zhao Gao in!

The next day!

early morning!

Xia Taige had just gotten up and was preparing for breakfast. Before she could even sign in, Donghuang Taiyi suddenly appeared!

Seeing this, Xia Taige took a deep breath and slowly calmed his heart, which had suddenly jumped!

Looking at Donghuang Taiyi, he said in an annoyed tone:

"Can't you at least say hello next time you show up? So what if you're a land-based deity?!"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi remained unperturbed, though a hint of apology was visible in his eyes beneath the mask.

What could possibly trouble you to disturb me so early in the morning?

"Your Highness, I observed the celestial phenomena last night and learned that the Divine Sect and the Great Thunderclap Temple have joined forces to oppose the Great Xia's subsequent plans!"

Donghuang Taiyi's face remained expressionless; he simply nodded to Xia Taige and responded calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige frowned, seemingly puzzled as to why the Divine Sect, such a troublemaker, could unite with the Great Thunderclap Temple!

Seeing Xia Taige's confusion, Donghuang Taiyi stepped forward and explained, "It's destiny!"

"Luck?" Xia Taige was even more puzzled.

"Your Highness, the leader of the Divine Sect, like me, has some knowledge of astrology!"

“Since Your Highness’s arrival, the fortune of the Great Xia has suddenly surged, and it has already shown a trend of surpassing the combined fortunes of the Great Shang and Great Zhou.”

"Since His Highness finalized the decision regarding Buddhism yesterday, the fortunes of the Great Thunderclap Temple have plummeted!"

"Therefore, it is only natural that the leader of the Divine Sect would not sit idly by and wait for his death, but would take the initiative to join forces with the Great Thunder Temple to face the Great Xia together!"

Seeing Donghuang Taiyi's matter-of-fact manner, Xia Taige felt a tickle in her head!

That makes sense. The increase in the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty is the biggest obstacle for the leader of the Divine Sect to overthrow the three great dynasties, and the same is true for the Buddhist Great Thunder Temple!

Although the Divine Cult knew that Great Xia was its biggest obstacle, it was helpless against Great Xia!

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and besides, the Great Thunder Temple is not an enemy of the Divine Cult!

On the contrary, fundamentally, the two forces are doing the same thing!

"Then what use is it for you to come to me?"

Xia Taige suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Donghuang Taiyi with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi fell silent for a moment before finally speaking:

"It would be better if His Highness were to know about such an important matter!"

"Moreover, I estimate that the primary target of the Divine Cult and the Great Thunderclap Temple is most likely Your Highness!"

After he finished speaking, there was another silence.

Other forces might not dare to assassinate the crown prince, but the Divine Sect and the Great Thunder Temple certainly have the guts to do so!

After a moment, Xia Taige suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Donghuang Taiyi, and asked:

"Does the leader of the cult know of your existence?"

When Xia Taige asked, Donghuang Taiyi slowly shook his head, indicating that he did not know!

Seeing this, Xia Taige immediately relaxed.

As long as Donghuang Taiyi's strength is not revealed for the time being, everything is negotiable!

Even if word got out, the leader of the Divine Cult probably wouldn't believe that a powerful being at the Land Immortal Realm would suddenly appear!

All I can say is that the power of the system is unfathomable!

After relaxing, Xia Taige casually asked:

"Do you know if the Divine Cult and the Great Thunderclap Temple would carry out an assassination?"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi fell silent again, and after a moment slowly shook his head.

"I don't know! It concerns Your Highness, and I cannot calculate it! Even the leader of the Divine Cult cannot calculate it. He must have deduced it from the recent rise of the Zhenwu Division and attributed it to Your Highness!"

Indeed, the biggest change in the Great Xia Dynasty recently is the rise of the Zhenwu Division, and the person who established the Zhenwu Division is Xia Taige.

Hearing this, Xia Taige nodded. There was no need to worry about it. With Donghuang Taiyi around, there was nothing to be concerned about!

"In that case, would you like to stay for breakfast?"

"This subordinate does not eat grains!" After saying this, Donghuang Taiyi's figure slowly disappeared!

Looking at Donghuang's carefree appearance, as if he didn't eat grains and came and went without a trace, Xia Taige curled his lips and suddenly felt that the delicious food in front of him didn't taste good anymore.

"System sign in!"

[Congratulations, host, for signing in and receiving the Sword of Longevity!]

[Name: Kenjiro!]

[Strength: Peak Grandmaster!]

Xia Taige was overjoyed when he saw the system introduction; another Grandmaster at the peak had arrived!

"System summons!" Xia Taige couldn't wait!

A flash of white light, and then... well, to put it another way, describing someone as unkempt would be an understatement.

For Xia Taige, Jian Jiuhuang was the best candidate to be the groom, but looking at him now, he felt somewhat helpless!

It's really a case that its temperament doesn't match the luxurious white dragon car!

After a moment of reflection, Jian Jiuhuang saw Xia Taige looking him up and down, and quickly bowed with a smile:

"Greetings, Your Highness!" As Jian Jiuhuang grinned, his two missing front teeth came into view instantly!

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige put one hand to his forehead and waved his other hand.

"No need to be polite, having Lao Huang is like a fish in water for me!"

After a pause, Xia Taige seemed to remember something, and looked up at Jian Jiuhuang teasingly:

"Old Huang, don't pull any stunts like offering your life as a welcoming invitation to the Crown Prince in this world!"

"It's not that I don't want to enter the martial world, it's just that my cultivation level is too low!"

Do you understand?

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang chuckled again, scratched his head, and said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, yes! Please rest assured, Your Highness, Your Highness's only weakness is something that I, Old Huang, will certainly keep in mind!"

Hearing this, Xia Taige rolled her eyes at Jian Jiuhuang helplessly, and looking at Jian Jiuhuang who was still chuckling in front of her, she said irritably:

"Go down and change your clothes quickly. I'll take you to a brothel to listen to music as a welcome-back feast!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiuhuang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xia Taige as if he had found a kindred spirit.

Seeing this, Mei Lan Zhu Ju, who was standing next to Xia Taige, couldn't help but giggle!

Hearing the laughter behind him, Xia Taige turned around and looked up to acknowledge him.

Mei Jian understood, stepped forward, and said with a smile:

"Master Huang, please come with me to dress up and change your clothes!"

"No problem, no problem!" Jian Jiuhuang happily followed Mei Jian to the side courtyard to change clothes!

Xia Taige watched the two figures disappear into the distance. Although he knew that Jian Jiuhuang's unreliability was only on the surface, he still felt somewhat helpless.

Perhaps the impression Jian Jiuhuang left on Xia Taige in his previous life was too deep, making it difficult for him to change his mind in a short time!
