After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"You, hmph..."

The Martial Emperor pointed at the crowd, his face flushed with anger, and said,

"Do I... do I really dislike my grandson that much?"

Several princes and ministers pleaded desperately for permission.

It is clear that they believe Empress Wu intends to give the Grandson Si the cold shoulder.

This greatly displeased Emperor Wu.

He snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with the officials, and continued speaking to Zhou Yi:

"That dragon vein, on behalf of the Great Qian Dynasty and the ancestors of the Zhou family, is hereby formally bestowed upon you!"

"And you are hereby formally appointed as the Crown Prince of the current dynasty!"

boom!

In Zhou Yi's mind, a resounding echo pierced the heavens and earth.

The emperor's words, though seemingly absolute, actually came to pass.

When Emperor Wu verbally designated Zhou Yi as the crown prince, the world resounded with his words.

At this moment, the three dragon veins in Zhou Yi's sea of ​​consciousness became even more vibrant.

His connection with the dragon vein became even closer.

Zhou Yi clenched his fist gently.

He could clearly sense that the power of heaven and earth he could draw upon was even greater.

The vast land of the Qianlong Emperor, down to every ravine and every mountain ridge...

He can discern the detailed patterns of every plant and tree that grows.

The overwhelming force of towering peaks, the rushing power of rivers, lakes, and seas...

All of these can be added to his magical power, which he can then use to fight and battle against enemies.

The emperor's blessing on the nation's fortune was indeed extraordinary.

This is what he values ​​most.

……

Crown Prince?

The emperor actually appointed the grandson of the emperor as the crown prince.

The ministers were taken aback at first, then overjoyed.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on finding a wise and virtuous crown prince for the Great Qian Dynasty!"

"Congratulations, Prince Yi..."

……

All the civil and military officials congratulated Zhou Yi.

The struggle for the crown prince position has finally come to an end.

The election of the imperial grandson was truly the will of the people and the popular choice.

The Sixth Prince and several other princes also sincerely congratulated Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was simply too powerful, which extinguished their desire to seize the throne.

At this moment, they secretly vowed to assist Zhou Yi in quelling rebellions in various places and restoring peace and order to the world.

The festive atmosphere in the main hall was just beginning to rise.

The messenger captain sent the message three times.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qingzhou has sent an urgent message requesting assistance!"

"What is it?" The smile on Emperor Wu's face vanished.

"The Overlord Emperor has started an uprising in Jiangdong."

"Let's raise the slogan, 'Even if Chu has only three households left, it will surely be Chu that destroys Qian!'"

"He launched a northern expedition and captured several cities in succession."

"Now that the army has reached Qingzhou, the King of Qingzhou requests the imperial court to send troops to support him."

The land of Jiangdong is the ancestral home of the Overlord Emperor.

Yesterday, he took advantage of the chaos to escape and actually went back to his hometown to raise an army to rebel against the imperial court.

With his abilities as a terrestrial deity, conquering cities and seizing territories would surely be an unstoppable force.

"Hmph, he's nothing but a defeated opponent of the Crown Prince!"

"Yes, Prince Yi can destroy him as easily as turning his hand!"

……

The ministers spoke with disdain, completely disregarding the Overlord Emperor.

after all.

In yesterday's battle, Zhou Yi completely overwhelmed him.

After hesitating for a moment, he relayed the order to the captain:

"The Overlord Emperor has recovered all his cultivation."

“Oh, the peak of a terrestrial immortal.” Wei Qing said with a solemn expression.

Having been sealed by the dragon vein for three thousand years, the Overlord Emperor stormed the imperial city as soon as he emerged from seclusion.

His strength has only recovered to the minor level of a terrestrial immortal.

Now, having recovered to the perfect state, one has reached the highest level of cultivation in this world.

Zhou Yi then fought against him again.

It's possible; it's hard to say who will emerge victorious.

The ministers' hearts sank, and they dared not be so optimistic anymore.

"Bai Qi, Wang Jian and his son, the Overlord Emperor, and treacherous officials and traitors have all risen up together."

Huo Wubing said angrily.

These three waves of rebels, along with their four generals, all possessed the cultivation level of a terrestrial immortal at its peak.

Moreover, each of them was renowned and distinguished.

The Sixth Prince and his group were a whole realm lower in cultivation than their opponents, so it was impossible for them to risk sending troops to attack.

In addition, Zhou Yi will be stationed in the capital.

In the imperial court, only he and Wei Qing were qualified to lead the expedition.

The two were unable to spare the time to quell the unrest in the four regions.

Moreover, even if the two of them were to fight a fully-fledged terrestrial immortal, their chances of survival would likely be slim.

"Qingzhou is a thousand miles away from the imperial city."

Wei Qing analyzed, "For now, we can only give up and prioritize quelling the rebellions in the Three Qin and Longxi regions."

After all, these two places are only a few hundred miles away from the imperial city.

The rebels could launch a surprise attack in a single rush.

The ministers all nodded in agreement.

Protecting the imperial city is the top priority.

All eyes turned to the Martial Emperor.

The Martial Emperor nodded slightly and asked:

"What does Prince Yi think?"

Now he trusts no one but Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi smiled gently and said:

"Bai Qi and Wang Jian, father and son, aim to cooperate with Emperor Ying."

"They have only one goal: the imperial city."

"Within ten days, the two rebel groups will not attack the capital."

"But the Overlord Emperor, who intends to reclaim lost territory, will surely launch a series of attacks and plunders."

The Emperor nodded.

The ministers all nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, this humble general is willing to lead the army to quell the rebellion in Jiangdong!" Huo Wubing clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and requested permission.

Previously, he had volunteered to lead an expedition against Bai Qi.

Since Bai Qi poses no immediate threat to the imperial city, it would be better to deal with Ba Tian Di first.

The Empress hesitated.

The Overlord Emperor is a veteran terrestrial immortal at the Perfect Realm.

Huo Wubing, on the other hand, had just been promoted to the level of a terrestrial immortal.

The difference in their combat abilities is extremely vast.

At this level, the size of the army no longer has much impact.

It mainly comes down to the clash of the main generals' cultivation levels.

Wei Qing and Huo Wubing are currently the only two terrestrial immortal-level generals in the Great Qian Dynasty.

If anything happens to either of them, the dynasty will be in an even more passive position.

The ministers, like Huo Wubing, did not have a high opinion of him.

However, with rebellions breaking out in various places, the imperial court could not simply not send troops to quell the rebellions.

The Empress's gaze fell upon Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi said, "General Huo's plan is feasible, and I am willing to go with him!"

Did the Imperial Grandson go with him?

If the battle against the Overlord Emperor is a sure thing, then the Imperial City will be left undefended.

The ministers were filled with worry.

Wei Qing reminded him, "Prince Yi, the imperial city is of utmost importance!"

"It's alright. The enemy is attacking. The Grand Marshal only needs to hold them off for a moment."

Zhou Yi said, "I can then return to provide assistance."

With the abilities of a terrestrial deity, he could travel thousands of miles in an instant.

……

Huo Wubing went to the military camp to assemble the Flying Army.

They were pulled out at noon.

Zhou Yi returned home by car.

"Your Highness, why did you bring General Huo with you?" Si Xuan asked.

Zhou Yi directly killed the Overlord Emperor, which was more direct and efficient.

“Both generals must rapidly improve their cultivation through the fighting,” Zhou Yi said.

"Even if the improvement is rapid, it can't catch up with the Emperor's ten-day agreement."

"Therefore, I must capture the Overlord Emperor."

"To recruit the Overlord Emperor?" Si Xuan was shocked.

The other side is a mortal enemy of the Great Qian Dynasty. Would they really surrender to the imperial court?

……

Return to the palace.

Zhou Yi took out the Qian Yuan Mirror from his pocket.

Before engaging in battle with the Overlord Emperor, he needed to confirm Hu Die's safety.

As Zhou Yi touched the Qian Yuan Mirror, he immediately sensed a direction in his sea of ​​consciousness.

That's where the Kunling Mirror is located.

A few days ago, Zhou Yi discovered...

After the Qian Yuan Mirror and Kun Ling Mirror respectively capture the Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul, they can sense their vague locations.

By combining the dragon vein patterns within the sea of ​​consciousness, the specific location can be determined.

therefore.

Hu Die and Ying Huangma left in their car, and he wasn't worried.

Anyway, we can go there anytime.

At this moment, Zhou Yi confirmed that Hu Die was located three thousand miles to the southwest, beneath a mountain range.

He used teleportation to disappear from the palace.

His figure reappeared, now standing in mid-air atop a small mountain peak.

The mountain peak resembles a giant steamed bun and is named Lingshan.

Zhou Yi was certain that Hu Die was in the underground palace deep beneath the mountain.

however.

To his surprise.

The underground palace has an extremely strong isolation formation.

He was unable to teleport inside.

Therefore, Hu Die is probably trapped in the underground palace and unable to leave.
