My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1373 - 495: Breaking the Heart Demon (Part 2)
It was at this moment that Chen Sansi’s face suddenly darkened, and the emperor’s majesty spread fiercely: "I have always regarded you as brothers, but throughout history, those who fell were precisely betrayed by those they trusted most. Do you think I could be the same?"
"Your Majesty?!"
Everyone hastily knelt to the ground: "Why would you say such a thing, Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, we have never done anything to betray you!"
"The loyalty of this old minister to Your Majesty is clear as day and night!"
"Old minister can hand over military power and retire to my hometown!"
"..."
"Haha~ you misunderstood."
Chen Sansi said expressionlessly: "I meant nothing else by saying this, I just want to build mutual trust with my brothers here and become monarchs and ministers that will be remembered for generations to come."
"Ministers absolutely obey Your Majesty and also ask Your Majesty to trust us!"
Everyone spoke almost in unison: "We are absolutely loyal to the Han and to Your Majesty!"
"..."
Chen Sansi looked at them, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
He did not expose it on the spot, just waved his sleeve to let these people retreat.
Then.
Chen Sansi returned to the harem, giving Sun Li a chance to confess.
"Your Majesty, have you been too tired lately, always imagining things?"
Sun Li avoided answering.
Chen Sansi looked at her, then at Gu Xinlan’s secluded sleeping chamber; for some reason, he suddenly felt that those who accompanied him had become so unfamiliar.
Since none would speak...
He would have to see for himself.
If...
These subordinates indeed committed any illegal acts, even the most trusted and confidants would not be lightly spared.
That night.
Chen Sansi pretended to be in seclusion but was actually waiting for an opportunity.
At about the second watch, he quietly left the Imperial Palace and headed southwest outside Chang’an City.
The distance.
To him is nothing more than a breath.
The Mountain God Temple appeared before his eyes.
Chen Sansi performed the Investigation Skill and indeed found a Boundary here. Just as he was about to use the Instantaneous Technique to pass directly through, a sudden noise came from below, followed by strong mana fluctuations.
"Boom——"
A figure burst out from beneath the Mountain God Temple.
He wore an azure robe and looked like a sect cultivator, with cultivation probably at Qi Refining Middle Stage.
"Stop!"
Following closely were several Sky Wall City cultivators, all from the younger generation, surrounding the escaping sect cultivator.
"You demons!"
The sect cultivator shouted sternly: "I am a disciple of Qingxuan Mountain. If you dare kill me, someday Heavenly Water Immortal Sect will surely flatten your Eastern Continent!"
"Don’t talk big to scare people!"
A Sky Wall City cultivator coldly said: "If you want Qingxuan Mountain to know, first you have to get out of here alive, attack!"
At the command.
The numerous Immortal Officials began to encircle for a kill.
"Stop!"
Chen Sansi descended from the sky.
"Your, Your Majesty?!"
Seeing who had arrived, the Sky Wall City cultivators were struck speechless in fear.
Chen Sansi did not heed them, instead turning to the Qingxuan Mountain disciple: "Why are you here?"
"Pretentious!"
The cultivator cursed: "Why am I here, don’t you, this Emperor, know?"
"I want you to say." Chen Sansi enunciated slowly.
The cultivator’s spine chilled instantly: "Your, your people caught cultivators here for Blood Sacrifice, to cultivate Demon Technique!"
Cultivating Demon Technique!
Chen Sansi seized a Sky Wall City cultivator, starting to interrogate for details.
This place.
Is secretly constructed by the Crown Prince under the support of the Imperial Concubine.
Usually, various old generals would come here to cultivate.
Chen Sansi remained silent, only standing in place.
About an hour later, people began to arrive one after another.
The first to appear was Crown Prince Chen Duhe.
"Father?!"
He looked at the grim-faced Tian Wu, instinctively stepping back half a step, but finally biting his lip, he said: "I built this place..."
"Rubbish!!!"
Chen Sansi raised his hand in a palm strike.
Mana surged, directly knocking Chen Duhe to the ground, throwing up fresh blood, limbs sprawled on the ground, unable to stand up again.
"He’er?!"
Empress Gu Xinlan, with Sun Li, arrived together.
Following closely were the various old generals of Po Yang.
"You arrived quite fast."
Chen Sansi sneered: "What? Are you prepared to rebel?"
"Your Majesty!"
Sun Li spoke first: "This is a misunderstanding! Those held beneath the Mountain God Temple are all prisoners from prisons across the Eastern Continent, as for the cultivators, they were all captured from Heavenly Water, not a single innocent civilian."
"Absurd!"
Chen Sansi, for the first time in his life, expressed anger at the Noble Consort: "Originally, we agreed only to steal Spirit Roots from death row prisoners; now it has become prisoners. What will it become next step further?!"
"Guards!"
He shouted sternly, echoing through Chang’an.
The Forbidden Army and core Sky Wall City cultivators arrived as fast as possible.
"Deng Feng!"
Chen Sansi ordered: "Investigate thoroughly for me. Whoever is involved, arrest as needed, kill as needed, act first report later!"
"If Your Majesty wants to kill, then kill me first."
Sun Li stood blocking in front.
"You...!"
Chen Sansi anger surged: "You committed such a monstrous mistake, do you really think I would spare you!"
"Father, you are confused!"
Chen Duhe knelt on the ground, face full of blood, he loudly said: "Don’t you know, all the uncles and Imperial Concubine are getting old, their talents limited?! If they don’t use special means, how will they establish the Foundation, how will they advance to the Glazed Golden Body?"
"You, you unfilial son! Guards, chop him up for me!"
Chen Sansi shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty!"
Po Yang old ministers lined up kneeling: "This matter was all incited by us old ministers, nothing to do with Crown Prince, nor with Noble Consort!"
