The Imperial City of Dayu Dynasty, Longhuai Palace, and Imperial Study Room.
Some practitioners like to read ancient thread-bound books, and some even cherish animal skin scrolls or note-taking knots that are older. Yan Chengdu is one such person.
In his study room, there are bookcases on three sides. The cabinets are densely packed with various books and animal skin volumes. As far as the eye can see, there is only deeper darkness.
Yan Fugui didn't know how long this study was. He only knew that Yan Chengdu had asked a space formation master to expand it.
There are no tables and chairs in the study room, which is not much different from a library or the like. However, Emperor Yan Chengdu liked this arrangement. When he had nothing to do, he would lean on the bookcase, blow a thread-bound book, and read carefully.
.
When Yan Fugui arrived, Manager Wei of Wuji Hall happened to come out of the imperial study. The two of them met and greeted each other, but they didn't talk about anything. However, Yan Fugui looked at the sound of Manager Wei leaving with a strange look in his eyes.
Wuji Palace basically had nothing to do and needed to come to the imperial study to report to the imperial grandfather Yan Chengdu. Yan Fugui thought that Yan Chengdu had previously issued an order not to allow her to use the cross-border teleportation formation to leave the Dayu Dynasty, and a shadow fell on her heart.
The person who escorted General Manager Wei out of the imperial study was General Manager Huai. His face was covered with age spots, he was hunched over, and he was leaning on a horned dragon crutch. When he saw Yan Fugui, he said with a smile as if greeting a junior: "The princess is here!
"
"Well, Grandpa Huai, does Grandpa Huang have time?" Yan Fugui nodded and asked impatiently. Even if she is Yan Chengdu's granddaughter, if she wants to enter the imperial study, she must obtain the consent of Yan Chengdu or Manager Huai.
"Yes, of course, come in with me!" Manager Huai waved cheerfully, gesturing for Yan Fugui to follow, and then he turned and walked into the imperial study.
Yan Fugui followed closely and walked between the bookcases on both sides. Not long after, he saw a middle-aged man leaning on the bookcase on the left, holding a book in one hand and reading carefully.
With the same shiny head, the middle-aged man's features are six or seven levels similar to Yan Fugui's. His face is oily and smooth, and he is simply wearing a light purple brocade robe. He has no intimidating aura, even if he gets close.
Up close, I couldn't sense even half of my spiritual power. If he hadn't appeared in the Imperial Study Room, he might have been treated as a mortal.
"I've met Grandpa Huang!" Yan Fugui greeted him slightly. This was the great emperor of their Dayu Dynasty, Yan Chengdu, a greasy middle-aged man who seemed to have nothing special about him.
"Fugui is here..." Yan Chengdu didn't even raise his eyes and moved his lips slightly as a greeting.
Yan Fugui took a deep breath and asked directly: "Grandpa Huang, have you considered the proposals made by the two Venerables Chu Jinchao and Wu Qingyun a few days ago?"
"Uh..." Yan Chengdu's expression froze, he frowned, closed the thread-bound book in his hand, and put the book back on the bookcase. He came to Yan Fugui, held Yan Fugui's shoulder, and said sincerely: "Of course Grandpa disagrees, but at present
It’s not appropriate to directly reject Xuanyuan Tianzong and Jade Cauldron Tianzong, let’s delay for a while and see again!”
"Everyone has bullied us, why are you still delaying?" Yan Fugui was almost furious. The two great sages, with the will of the Tianzong behind them, made it clear that their Dayu Dynasty could not delay for long.
The longer they delay, the more passive the Dayu Dynasty becomes. As rumors spread, it will give other forces the impression that they are weak and can be bullied. It will only become more difficult to form an alliance with Xingxu Tiangong.
It was like this before. Chu Jinchao and Wu Qingyun were about to knock on the door, and they thought they could hold off. If it weren't for the fact that the man in front of her had no flaws and was also a strong practitioner of the Yan family's martial arts, she would have thought that Emperor Yan was
Chengdu was exchanged. She really thought that this was not her grandfather Yan Chengdu who suppressed the Dayu Dynasty.
Sometimes I would have random thoughts and feel that Emperor Yan Chengdu was not actually stalling the two Heavenly Sects, but was trying to stall for time so that she could accept the status quo little by little through suffering and then agree.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, wait a minute, wait a minute!" Yan Chengdu comforted him sarcastically, without any of the aura of a powerful Taoist realm man to suppress everything, just like a mortal grandfather who didn't know how to get along with his granddaughter.
"No need to wait, I am planning to form an alliance with Xingxu Tiangong to jointly fight against the two heavenly sects and give them half of the control of the Void Spirit Secret Realm. They are very interested and have already sent people over. They are the top 20 geniuses in the world.
The two Hongtu Mountain Masters are very sincere, now let’s see what Grandpa Huang thinks!”
Yan Fugui finished speaking in one breath, then stared at Yan Chengdu closely, clearly stated the carriage and horses: "Either meet the Lord of Hongtu Mountain and form an alliance with the Xingxiu Heavenly Palace, or give all his granddaughter and the Void Spirit Secret Realm to the two heavenly sects.
Grandpa Huang, choose!"
"..." Panic flashed across Yan Chengdu's eyes, and he subconsciously looked back at the deepest part of the study. There was nothing there. He seemed very disappointed, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
"What is Grandpa Huang looking at?" Yan Fugui felt Yan Chengdu's gaze and asked as he followed it, but there was nothing there except darkness.
"Nothing!" Yan Chengdu said quickly, stopped Yan Fugui and walked forward, saying: "Grandpa will consider what you said carefully and let the people of Xingxiu Tiangong wait for two days and go back first!"
"Okay!" A strange color flashed in Yan Fugui's eyes. Following Yan Chengdu's words, when she was about to walk out of the imperial study, she suddenly turned her head again and suddenly asked: "Grandpa Huang, last time you came to Lihuo World to pick me up.
, do you still have the Tumi Spirit Tea that you sent? I want to get some to entertain the distinguished guests of Xingxu Heavenly Palace!"
Tumi Ling Tea is a rare spiritual tea in the Lihuo world. It is only available in the Lihuo Celestial Dynasty. It is only for the Venerable Dao Realm. Ordinary cultivators may not have heard of it, let alone drink it. Only people with connections like Yan Fugui have heard of it.
Only then can you follow along.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you. I'll ask Manager Huai to deliver it to your house later!" Yan Chengdu happily agreed.
Not only was Yan Fugui not happy when he heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and his hand was holding his identity token with a faint flash of inspiration.
"Fugui, what are you doing?" Upon seeing this, Yan Chengdu's face changed and he asked with a slight gloominess. The glimmer of light meant that Yan Fugui had sent some information to the outside through the identity token. He had
A little bad premonition.
"Who are you, who dare to pretend to be my imperial grandfather?" Yan Fugui's face was as cold as ice, and his spiritual energy was running rapidly, trying to guard against the impostor Yan Chengdu in front of him.
She still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the imperial grandfather Yan Chengdu would find someone to play the role. Otherwise, the majestic emperor of the Chengdu Dynasty and the Venerable Taoist Realm would be replaced without knowing it. This would be too terrifying. Compared with the two great
Tianzong's threat was even more deadly. The Dayu Dynasty was the foundation of the Yan family and there was no room for failure.
Yan Fugui knew that her announcement was a huge risk, but she had already taken a back-up plan and distributed the information through identity tokens. If there was an accident, the rest of the Yan family would not be kept in the dark and continue to be deceived.
"I think he looks quite similar. I grew up watching that boy Yan Chengdu. What went wrong?" Fake Yan Chengdu didn't even deny it, he readily admitted it, his face still cheerful, and he asked easily
, he also closed the door of the royal study room and activated the formation instantly.
"What do you want to do by pretending to be my grandpa?" Yan Fugui did not answer. He stared at the impostor Yan Chengdu and asked defensively, but his heart felt cold. Even the formations in the Royal Study Room were under the control of this impostor.
Among them, it means that the entire palace, the foundation of the Yan family, has completely fallen into the hands of this person.
"The boy begged me, just think of it as my pleasure. What's the point of being an emperor? He's in so much trouble that he won't have any leisure time every day!" The fake Yan Chengdu muttered, and Yan Chengdu's skin slipped off, revealing a life-size plant.
Dryad lookalike.
The dryad is covered in blood red, and the bark of the tree wraps around its body like a horned dragon, and then forms strong limbs. The tree body has a pair of black and white eyes, a huge nostril facing the sky, and a cracked and dry lip.
"Are you the Dragon Sophora Tree Demon Lord?" Yan Fugui asked tentatively with some disbelief. This image is simply a miniature version of the Dragon Sophora Tree Demon Lord where the palace is located. It is thought that it can replace the imperial grandfather Yan Chengdu, and even control the palace array.
No, she actually agreed with this guess in her heart.
"It's me. I still remember the black mole on your butt when you were born!" Longhuai Demon Lord looked like a teachable child. He sat cross-legged on the ground, patted the seat next to him, and motioned for Yan Fugui to come over and sit.
"..." Yan Fugui suddenly turned red. She was born in the palace, and the mole was secretly removed when she entered Taoism. Very few people knew about it. The demon king in front of her was really the ruler of the Dayu Dynasty.
Demon Master Long Huai, otherwise it would be impossible to know.
I'm just too old to be ashamed. How can I say this kind of thing casually?
Yan Fugui obediently sat next to Demon Lord Longhuai, his eyes full of inquiry.
"That boy from Yan Chengdu is in seclusion at a critical moment. If he comes out, all his efforts will be wasted!" Demon Lord Longhuai also understood what Yan Fugui wanted to ask. Since he has been seen through, there is nothing to hide.
He was worried that he didn't even have anyone to discuss it with. Now that Yan Fugui knew about it, he just went with the flow. He had been really miserable these days. He couldn't just walk away, let alone call that guy Yan Chengdu out.
I wish I could just ban the palace for a period of time. No matter how noisy it is outside, if no one can be found, it will naturally have to be delayed.
After that boy Yan Chengdu comes out of confinement, he can handle other matters on his own.
"When will grandpa be released from confinement?" Yan Fugui asked.
"I don't know. What he is facing now is to break through the sixth level of the Taoist Realm and break through the seventh level. If he takes a step forward, the sea and the sky will be vast, and if he takes a step back, he will never recover. There is no room for any mistakes!" Longhuai Demon Lord said sternly. This is the reason why he had to pretend, otherwise he would
I'm too lazy to show up, but if I have the time, wouldn't it be wonderful to sleep for hundreds or thousands of years...
