Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

"After a while, perhaps not even half a year, those princes of the Capital city will die one by one for various reasons."

Mu Changtian didn't continue to argue but said instead, "Whether His Majesty is that kind of person, after you meet him, I believe you will have your own judgment."

At this point, Zhao King spoke up, "Let's not talk about me anymore. I'm now very curious about you. How did you survive back then?"

Mu Changtian calmly replied, "All thanks to His Majesty. Anticipating danger for the Mu Family, he sent people to save us. If not for His Majesty, I probably would have died at the hands of the late emperor's Shadow Guards long ago."

Hearing Mu Changtian's answer, Zhao King exclaimed with a sigh, "It seems that everyone was blind to the truth in the past!"

"Enough about that. I will go with you to the Capital city right now," he said.

Having made up his mind, Zhao King thought, if Lu Chen wants to kill, then kill. Just now, on his way to the city tower, he had already sent his trusted aides to flee through the east gate to inform his family of his surrender.

If he doesn't write to them, it would mean he has encountered trouble in the Capital city. By then, his family must immediately find a way to change their identity or find a place to hide.

Seeing Zhao King's forthrightness, Mu Changtian didn't delay any longer. After taking over Zhao King's hundreds of thousands of troops, he sent people to escort Zhao King to the Capital city.

Meanwhile.

In a city in the south.

Prince Lu Yi was also holding a newspaper, scanning the announcement issued by Lu Chen.

Seeing the content that Lu Chen published, Prince Lu Yi's face turned incredibly grim. Although he had anticipated that Lu Chen would ascend to that position, he had not expected Lu Chen to actually receive the support of four Celestials.

Those are Celestials!

Within the forces following him, there wasn't a single Celestial.

What now?

Though they've created weapons similar to those used by the soldiers of the North Country, their power is significantly weaker, and most importantly, they lack the raw materials to manufacture these weapons. And Lu Chen has already issued his announcement.

If he doesn't surrender, Lu Chen will certainly accuse him of conspiring with the Demon Sect and send a large army to besiege him.

Wait a minute...

Demon Sect?

Prince Lu Yi suddenly remembered something. He once heard from someone in the Taiyin Divine Sect that their Sect Hierarch was a being whose strength surpassed that of a Celestial, but due to some reasons, the Sect Hierarch's power had not yet recovered.

Thinking this, Prince Lu Yi mused that if he could re-establish contact with the Taiyin Divine Sect, perhaps he wasn't without a chance.

But now, the crucial question was how to reconnect with the Taiyin Divine Sect?

Previously, he had contacted them through the Xue Family and Xue Linglong.

However, that woman Xue Linglong had long since vanished without a trace. There had been news from the North Country a while ago claiming that when Xue Linglong came to see him, she was ambushed by bandits, and they were all killed.

Prince Lu Yi naturally didn't believe that Xue Linglong was dead. After all, she was a member of the Taiyin Divine Sect. Even though he didn't know her status within the sect, the fact that the sect had sent an Elder to accompany her proved that Xue Linglong had some use to the Taiyin Divine Sect.

He didn't believe that the Taiyin Divine Sect would kill Xue Linglong or let her come to harm.

With this in mind, Prince Lu Yi immediately instructed his men, "Start searching for the Crown Princess Consort right away. Use any means necessary to find her." Explore stories at empire
