By the time Han Jiulin walked out of the main hall where the Qinglong Cabinet was located, the sky had completely darkened, and a crescent moon was already hanging at one end of the sky.
In the meeting hall of Qinglong Palace, many people from Qinglong Palace are now gathered, including all the elders of Qinglong Palace and the younger generation of Qinglong Palace headed by Han Lingyun.
Each of them was quietly waiting for Han Jiulin to return in the meeting hall, with a melancholy expression on their faces, completely losing the joy of defeating the bloodthirsty demon sect before.
"Brother, everyone in the imperial capital is saying that grandpa was seriously injured after a fierce battle with the two masters of the Demon Sect. You just met grandpa. Grandpa...how is he doing?"
Han Lingyun's brows were furrowed as she spoke, and her eyes were moist. She was obviously very concerned about the safety of King Qinglong.
Now in the entire Qinglong Palace, only Han Jiulin is qualified to see Qinglong King, so the others don't know whether the rumors outside are true or false, and they just wait for Han Jiulin to express his position.
Han Jiulin deliberately looked sad, then glanced at the people in front of him, and then asked: "Where did this rumor come from?"
"It must be that after the defeat of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect, they publicized this matter in an attempt to retaliate against my Qinglong Palace!"
"Is it true that the old prince... he is the backbone of our Qinglong Palace. If we lose the old prince, the Qinglong Palace will face huge waves again."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The old prince has been in the Canglan Empire for many years, how could he fall so easily?"
An elder of Qinglong Palace saw that the morale in the palace was low, and then he shook the ground with his crutch and said loudly to everyone.
Although this elder in Qinglong Palace said this, he actually felt unsure in his heart.
The old prince has independently supported the Qinglong Palace for decades since the death of the previous Qinglong King. He has supreme prestige in the palace and can be called the backbone of the Qinglong Palace.
Now if this pillar is broken, I am afraid that Qinglong Palace will sink again. Not to mention restoring its former glory, it may even slump and eventually become a second-rate palace.
Han Jiulin's body suddenly exuded the power of a strong man in the King's Realm. He glanced at the crowd and spoke solemnly:
"Even if I, Han Jiulin, exhaust all the resources of the Qinglong Palace, I will definitely heal the old prince's injuries completely.
It’s just that I will never allow anyone to reveal the fact that the old prince is seriously injured. Once I find out about it, I will kill him without mercy!”
"The old prince has an order. From today on, I will temporarily take over the palace. Everyone in the Qinglong Palace must obey my orders. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
After Han Jiulin's words, everyone in the Qinglong Palace became more certain that King Qinglong was approaching a critical moment of life and death, and they were afraid that the position of King Qinglong would be passed on to Han Jiulin soon.
Fortunately, Han Jiulin is so talented that even though he is only nineteen years old, he has already entered the realm of becoming a king. He also turned the tide in the previous battle between Qinglong Palace and the Demon Cult and gained great prestige.
Otherwise, the Qinglong Palace might have been disillusioned or even disintegrated at this moment.
In just a few days, the rumors about Qinglong King's Mansion in the imperial capital have become more and more intense. Many people are secretly rumoring that Qinglong King has been seriously injured and is dying, and will die soon.
Many princes in the imperial capital were overjoyed by this news. Qinglong Palace was one of the eight hereditary palaces. It was originally extremely difficult to shake. But now that Qinglong Palace is on the decline, they have the opportunity to carve up more.
resources.
Inside the palace hall.
Emperor Canglan sat on the dragon chair with a focused gaze, and his body exuded endless power. Even Meng Haoran, a strong man in the King Realm, felt his breathing was not smooth under the pressure.
Meng Haoran said: "If King Qinglong falls this time, there will no longer be a top master in King Qinglong's palace, and there will no longer be any threat to the empire and His Majesty.
Now the only thing left that can shake the foundation of the empire is the Djinn Palace."
Emperor Canglan said: "Are you sure that King Qinglong is really seriously injured to the point of dying?"
Meng Haoran said: "According to the news from the secretaries lurking in the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect and Qinglong Prince's Mansion, this matter should be absolutely true.
Even Han Jiulin admitted it personally in the meeting hall of Prince Qinglong Mansion."
"And in order to prevent the outside world from knowing the true situation, this kid also issued a silence order. Anyone who dares to spread this matter will be killed without mercy.
It's just that Han Jiulin is young after all, and he never expected that among the direct descendants of Prince Qinglong's Mansion, there would be people loyal to His Majesty."
Emperor Canglan's eyes flashed coldly, "Han Jiulin has reached the level of king at the age of nineteen. If he cannot be killed as soon as possible with such a celestial figure, he will definitely commit rebellion if he grows up.
thing."
"Only by getting rid of this kid as soon as possible, will Qinglong Palace lose its threat completely."
Meng Haoran said: "I wonder what your Majesty plans to do?"
Emperor Canglan snorted coldly, and then threw an imperial edict on the jade case into Meng Haoran's palm.
The imperial edict read: "Now the world is in chaos, wars are rising everywhere, the imperial court is deeply harassed by rebels, and all the major sects have the intention to rebel against our Canglan Empire.
In this way, we should use thunderous power to destroy the rebels' rebellious hearts."
"Therefore, I have issued an order today, instructing King Tianxuan to take charge of the commander's seal, and together with King Qinglong, Feihonghou, Anninghou and Jingyanghou to lead the imperial army to march south to quell the rebellions of the major sects. Anyone who disobeys the empire and refuses to submit will be punished.
Kill them all without mercy!"
Meng Haoran said: "Your Majesty's move is really clever. In this way, we can test whether King Qinglong is really dying, or whether he is secretly playing tricks."
"Imperial decree, if King Qinglong is really seriously injured and on the verge of death, then King Qinglong's Mansion will definitely send someone to replace King Qinglong and go south to fight. But now Han Hongji is far away in the border, and there is no one in King Qinglong's Mansion except Han Jiulin who can take care of him.
This important task.”
"As long as Han Jiulin leaves the imperial capital and goes south to start a war with the major sects, with his celestial demeanor, even if His Majesty does not need to take action, the king-level experts from the major sects will take action to eliminate him, otherwise the consequences will be endless."
"At that time, it can also arouse the hatred between the Qinglong Palace and the major sects, and completely plunge the Qinglong Palace into an irreversible situation."
Emperor Canglan has been firmly in the position of emperor for decades. Naturally, he is very fond of playing with power. He can kill people and get rid of many things without having to do it himself.
Qinglong Palace, inside Han Jiulin's room.
After today's battle with Meng Haoran, who was disguised as a black-armored killer, Han Jiulin felt deeply that Meng Haoran's combat power was even higher than when he was outside the moat of the Imperial Capital.
Back then, with the help of the power of the Emperor's Dagger, he was able to have a brief confrontation with Meng Haoran and successfully rescued Bai Lingrong. However, in today's battle with Meng Haoran, he was suppressed by him and had no chance of winning.
From this it can be seen that the myth that Meng Haoran is called a cultivator is not a general one, and it is unknown what kind of opportunities he got in the Emperor Tian Palace.
