Chapter 1528: Lure the Enemy In
ight and calm, yet possesses divine skills.""Most importantly, he has a detached heart when it comes to fame and fortune. When I gave him the check just now, his composure and calmness far exceeded hi..."So you brought me here, to lure me in To kill me on your own territory" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked. 。The Empress looked at Fang Yu, and beneath the veil, her face seemed to reveal a hint of a smile. She said, "This is certainly one of my choices, and also one of yours." 。"Since I asked you to come and talk, it's natural that I want to end this matter in a more gentle way. " 。"
How do you say '
'" Fang Yu placed his hands on the table and said. 。Even though the two were very close, the emperor and empress still didn't seem to see through Fang Yu's disguise. 。
Fang Yu was very satisfied with this. 。Of course, it's not just due to Xuan Ran Qi's efforts. 。After completely merging with the Great Dao's spirit, Fang Yu's ability to conceal his aura had reached an extremely perfect level. 。And with the addition of the Ruishi Qinglian and the veil of Xuanran Qi... there truly are no flaws. 。The only thing that surprised Fang Yu was the soul jade. 。After Rong Dao's death, this soul jade could still function as it should. 。
This was not what he had expected. 。He originally thought the Soul Jade was a master-recognizing artifact, but now it seems...not so. 。
The soul jade seems to exist independently and can exert its effects on anyone. 。These princes' bodies seem to be nothing more than vessels for the soul gems... "Let me start by explaining why I insist on making Cangyu the crown prince..." 。The Empress Dowager spoke. 。
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said nothing. 。"It's quite obvious, really. The intention behind making Cangyu the crown prince was to eventually have him ascend to the throne and become emperor." 。The Empress continued, 。"Your Majesty is in robust health, at his prime. Even if he were to become Crown Prince, it would be many years before he ascends the throne," Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, "You are so eager for Cangyu to become Crown Prince, you might even make Your Majesty suspicious...""Perhaps Your Majesty will notice, perhaps not," 。“I can tell you this,” the Empress said calmly, “Jade will undoubtedly ascend to the Heavenly Throne within a short time.” 。"
You mean...” Fang Yu pretended to be shocked. 。
"You understand what I mean" 。“A cold glint flickered in the Empress's eyes, “So, you only have two choices before you.” 。"Either death, or...you become mine." 。Fang Yu looked at the Emperor and Empress in front of him, but said nothing. 。Although the Empress didn't say it explicitly, her meaning was quite clear. 。The Jade Emperor is sure to ascend the throne in a short time... Meaning, the Great Emperor will definitely die within a short period
While this wasn't explicitly stated, the implication was heavy enough.
The Emperor and Empress before us, want to kill the Great Emperor. 。"Damn... the internal struggle within this Divine Sea Dynasty is way more intense than I thought..." 。As expected of a race that follows the Iron Law, without recognizing blood ties... This is their greatest difference from humanity. 。Fang Yu felt deeply in his heart. 。
"Follow me, and you can rest assured that I will give you everything you want. " 。The Empress said again, "Your Majesty may have high hopes for you, but the person sitting before you now is me." 。"
I have no choice" 。"Fang Yu said," 。"No, you can also choose death" 。The Empress said coldly, 。For the other party, the current situation is rather mysterious. 。Accepting the Empress's offer of amnesty seems like a good option. 。On the one hand, he could see what the Emperor and Empress planned to do next. 。On the other hand... once you become the Emperor's subordinate, the location of the Sacred Fruit should be easily obtainable. 。As for why the Emperor and Empress didn't directly take action... Fang Yu guessed it was probably because they were still wary of the Sea God Emperor. 。Fang Yu had previously said that the emperor had bestowed treasures upon him, and the empress must have believed it. 。A prince who caught the emperor's attention, wasn't someone you could just move against. 。Fang Yu's mind raced, but on the surface, he feigned hesitation and uncertainty, his face paling slightly. 。The Empress did not rush, staring quietly at Fang Yu, faintly releasing pressure. 。"Well, this intimidation tactic is rather low-brow, isn't it" 。Fan Yu's heart sneered, but on the surface, he gritted his teeth suddenly, as if making a major decision. 。"I... I am willing, to follow the Empress!" 。"You made a good choice, next I will leave a blood pact on you" 。The Empress said 。
Fang Yu nodded. 。He possesses the Ruyi Qinglian and the Daoist Spirit, so any blood pact is just like child's play to him. 。"Swoosh..."
The empress raised her pale, jade-like left hand and suddenly grabbed Fang Yu's hand. 。。"Whoosh!"A crimson light flashed from Fang Yu's arm, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. 。Okay 。In a short while, the Emperor and Empress let go of each other's hands, as if they had also let out a breath. 。Obviously, to her, the Rong Dao that Fang Yu had disguised himself as... was still a certain threat. 。“Your Majesty, I have a question for you. Since you are so confident... why do you need to act in secret Why not just strike directly” Fang Yu asked. 。The time is not yet ripe. 。The empress said softly. 。"That is to say, as long as the time comes, you will possess strength surpassing that of His Majesty... Then why would you still vie for this imperial position" Fang Yu asked again. 。The empress and the emperor looked at Fang Yu, silent for a moment. 。Perhaps considering that those present were her own people, she still spoke out: "Only by ascending to the Divine Throne can one have the power to control the entire God Sea Dynasty." 。"
What I want is this power" 。What was said is a bit vague. 。But Fang Yu quickly understood the Empress's meaning. 。What she wanted was the power to control the Divine Sea Dynasty. 。The Sea God Dynasty possesses something: a plethora of undersea alien creatures!
This aligns with Fang Yu's previous thoughts, both aiming to utilize the Sea God Dynasty's abundance of low- and mid-level creatures... to accomplish certain things. 。
However, the Emperor and Empress are already the second most powerful people under the Emperor, possessing immense authority. 。But why would she still take such a huge risk, thinking of killing the emperor and seizing his throne There must be... deeper reasons behind this. 。But right now, he couldn't ask them all. And the Emperor and Empress would be absolutely unwilling to answer. 。Take out the holy fruit you got in the ancient city. 。The Empress looked at Fang Yu and said 。Fan Yu's eyes flickered, he didn't hesitate and directly took out the black-skinned holy fruit, placing it before the empress. 。The Empress took the Sacred Fruit and stared directly at it. 。"Your Majesty, when will that opportune moment arrive" Fang Yu tentatively asked again. 。"What do you think" The Empress looked at Fang Yu, gently swaying the holy fruit in her hand. 。She seemed in good spirits, her eyes even flashing with a hint of subtle charm. 。"Your Majesty, how much longer will it take us to gather all six sacred fruits" Fang Yu asked. 。"According to the original plan, it wouldn't be too long... But something unexpected happened today." 。The Empress and Emperor looked at Fang Yu, their eyes turning cold and fierce. 。"Whoosh..."
Her brow, a shimmering soul jade, blossomed with light. Before Fang Yu appeared a curtain of water. 。
And within the water curtain, a handsome man appeared. 。The man's eyes sparkled like stars, very noticeable. 。
Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat. 。This... is the man that Cangyu spoke of, who took the Sacred Fruit, Zu Tian
"This man stole the Sacred Fruit from the Crimson Forest, and I am currently pursuing him" 。The Empress said coldly, 。"He actually dared to vie with us for the Holy Fruit!” Fang Yu feigned anger, snarling, “Let me go and kill him!” “His strength is formidable, you're likely no match for him >>> " 。The empress said lightly. 。"I... Empress, how many sacred fruits do we have in our hands now" Fang Yu asked seemingly casually. 。Three, and two more are lost. 。One was in the hands of a human, Fang Yu. The other...was taken by this Zu Tian. 。The Empress replied. 。"Since they took the holy fruit, they must also want to collect all six... We should guard against them and keep the three holy fruits safe!" Fang Yu said. 。"I have placed all three sacred fruits in extremely secure locations, they won't be able to get them." 。The Empress seemed to sneer, saying 。"This ancestor Tian is so powerful, that human Fang Yu heard his strength is also extremely terrifying... We still have to be more cautious." 。"Fang Yu said again," 。"These two are our top enemies." 。The Empress spoke coldly, "They possess the Sacred Fruits. We must retrieve them at any cost." 。"Why haven't you made a move yet" Fang Yu asked. 。When the last sacred fruit appears, they will inevitably come to compete for it. Then… will be the best time to make a move. 。The Empress said: 。"Can we handle these two..." Fang Yu asked with a solemn expression. 。Rest assured, Your Majesty... someone will come to our aid. 。Beneath the veil, the emperor seemed to smile again, his eyes narrowing slightly. 。ard and embraced Yang Yinzhu, saying.Yang Yinzhu's face changed slightly, a glimmer appeared in her eyes, and she asked urgently: "Xuchen, what do you mean Who will help me avenge""As ancient as a dra...
