Long Yan's eyes were distant, as if he was recalling: "Because a man once divined the fate of the Qianlong Empire, and I trust him very much."
For some reason, after Long Yan finished speaking, a figure appeared in Long Xiaoshan's mind, and he blurted out: "Wen Yu!"
Long Yan's eyes flashed and he said, "Do you also know Master Wen Tian?"
Long Xiaoshan nodded slightly and asked, "What did Wen Tianshi tell you?"
Long Yan said: "The Heavenly Master said that the empire's energy has collapsed, and only one person can restore it."
Long Xiaoshan pointed at himself.
Long Yan nodded: "Yes, that's what the Heavenly Master said."
"Then you believed it? Even at the cost of the lives of your son and so many top figures in the Imperial Clan?" Long Xiaoshan chuckled, not believing Long Yan's words.
Because this is so abnormal. No matter how good Wen Yu is in divination, how could Long Yan pay such a high price for a prophecy?
This is not in line with human nature.
There was a trace of vicissitudes and pain in Long Yan's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Because I had a chance to save Xiang'er's life, and the Heavenly Master once warned me, but I didn't listen to him, and Long Xiang died. Yes, I know that Long Xiang’s death must have been planned by Long Hao and others, but in the end, all this is my responsibility. If I didn’t abide by the purity of the imperial bloodline and prevent Long Xiang from interacting with Xia Houwei, I would If Long Xiang was not forced to give up his identity as the prince, nothing would happen next. Long Xiang's death also exhausted the last vestige of the empire's strength.
Because he is the best prince of the imperial clan for hundreds of years, the Heavenly Master said that he has the imperial destiny and can continue the Qianlong Emperor clan. After Long Xiang's death, the empire's situation went from bad to worse, and I also had physical problems. I can only live in seclusion all year round.
I had high hopes that Long Hao could sustain the empire, but he disappointed me so much. In terms of talent and magnanimity, he was far inferior to Long Xiang. In his hands, the empire seemed to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact It was already riddled with holes, and someone had infiltrated into the Imperial Clan without even realizing it.
Although I am old, I am not blind yet. I have seen all the changes in the Xiyan Region. The Heavenly Master said that there will be great changes in the Xiyan Region within five years. I have been vigilant, and now the Xiyan Region has indeed changed. , the Purple Moon Sword Sect was destroyed because it was attacked from within.
But the Qianlong Emperor Clan was not the same. Long Hao was forced by pressure from all sides to let Long Mu and Long Ye marry Hongtian Empire and Taiyi Academy. However, he could not see at all that the Emperor Clan had already had its own agenda and split into In response to the ambitions of various forces, Hongtian Empire, and Taiyi College, their purpose was not to form an alliance at all, but to annex the empire through marriage.
Behind the other princes, there are also shadows of the Blood Alliance and the Beiyuan Empire.
The empire is rotten from its roots. I warned Long Hao, but he persisted and sent you to the southwest border. Even now, he is still worried that your growth will threaten his throne. The empire is already in turmoil. He I don't want to solve it, and I am still fighting among myself. I am so disappointed, and I understand the words of the Heavenly Master more and more.
There is no medicine for regret in this world. I killed Long Xiang and ruined the strength of the empire, so let's put it to death and live. They invited you back, and I didn't refuse. I originally appeared here to protect you.
Taking advantage of this gathering, I have made up my mind to push you to the throne of God and kill all those with evil intentions. But I didn't expect that you are so strong. Your growth has far exceeded my imagination. , you have suppressed them all without any need for me to take action.
I thought of the words of the Heavenly Master, all this is really destiny. Since the empire is to be reborn, the only way is to completely cut off the carrion, so I did not stop you and asked you to clear out everyone in the Qianlong Palace. Now the emperor All the people who are really in power in the clan are dead, and the remaining ones are some descendants and collateral clans. I hope you can be lenient, at least not to let the Qianlong clan become extinct."
After listening to Long Yan's words, Long Xiaoshan's expression also changed a little. If everything Long Yan said was true, then this Supreme Emperor was indeed ruthless and decisive.
At his level, it was already difficult for others to lie to him, so he could hear the truth in Long Yan's words.
Long Xiaoshan said: "But, I am not Long Yin. Is it worth paying such a high price for you?"
Long Yan's face paused and he smiled bitterly: "I had doubts about your bloodline back then, but the Heavenly Master warned me sternly at that time that this was the empire's last chance of survival, so I did not investigate further. Later, I have been paying attention to you secretly. This further confirms the suspicion in my heart, because it is impossible for Long Yin to have such a talent. Your growth is unbelievable. Combined with the predictions of the Heavenly Master, I am more and more convinced that you are the destined person who can save the empire.
As for whether you are really Long Yin, it doesn't matter anymore. As long as I think you are, who in the world can deny that all the people who know this secret are dead, and you do have the blood of the Imperial family in your body. Starting today, you are the emperor of the Qianlong Empire."
Long Xiaoshan frowned slightly: "But, I'm not interested."
Long Yan's face froze, and he spoke after a moment: "You, you don't want to be the emperor?"
Long Xiaoshan shook his head.
"..." Long Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. The throne of the Qianlong Empire was so noble. He could be called one of the most powerful people in the Xiyan Region. Long Xiaoshan actually said he didn't want it.
This was unexpected by Long Yan, but gradually he calmed down because he saw Long Xiaoshan's terrifying talent and strength, such a monster beyond his imagination.
It is true that one can abandon the throne like a pair of worn-out shoes.
In the world of spiritual practice, in the final analysis, strength is everything. As for other positions of power, they are just accessories. As long as you have strength, everything is at your fingertips.
Long Yan sighed and suddenly prostrated: "I know that ascetics have strong beliefs, it is difficult for me to convince you, but the Qianlong Empire is now in turmoil, with internal and external troubles. Once the news of the death of Long Hao and others comes out, the empire will be in danger. Please read this... For the sake of a trace of love from back then, I will protect the empire."
Long Xiaoshan pursed his lips. He did have a close relationship with the empire. After all, he had replaced Long Yin's identity and obtained a lot of resources, which allowed him to grow so fast in the early stage. Moreover, Long Yan did not expose him back then, so he did the same to him. There is a kindness there.
What's more, the Qianlong Empire is where the Dragon Gate of the Xiyan Region is located. Naturally, he will not stand idly by. He raised his hand and an invisible force lifted up Long Yan and said: "The Emperor's words are serious. No matter whether I am the emperor or not, as long as I am here, the empire It won't collapse."
