Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 221
Chapter 0221 He Was Fooled!
As for the south occupied by profound beasts, it was actually a big problem. It had caused serious casualties to the north of the empire. Every year, profound beasts would launch a beast tide to attack the border of the empire. After all, human flesh and blood was the most beautiful food for them.
Compared to those southern profound beasts, the profound beasts in the empire were simply different from wild beasts and poultry.
The Profound Spirit Empire appeared calm on the surface, but everyone knew very well that there was a high possibility that a great war would occur amidst the enemies on all sides.
However, what Zhu Zhi said was not completely correct!
The current Emperor had indeed never launched a war against the four sides, but he had also resisted at least ten attacks from the four sides.
The reason why he did not take the initiative to wage war was also because the previous emperor was a poor and indiscriminate emperor. He took the initiative to launch more than a dozen expeditions to the four directions, but all of them returned with meritorious deeds. Not only did he not annihilate any of them, he wasted the people and money, causing the empire’s wealth to rapidly shrink.
His strength had also fallen to the lowest point in history. Therefore, the current emperor did not do such a thankless thing again. Instead, he wholeheartedly developed the country’s economy and military strength, causing all aspects to slowly increase. It was almost close to the level when he took office.
Anyone who knew something about history would know about these things, but now Zhu Zhi was using this excuse to seize the throne, which made him look ridiculous and ignorant.
The current emperor still had a high prestige in the hearts of the people. He did not bring any bitter consequences of war to everyone. Just this point alone was worthy of recognition for his contributions.
Qin Fei couldn’t figure out what good it was for everyone to start a war.
“Unfilial son! The four races cannot be conquered with our current strength! Don’t you understand this principle? Leng Xiaoran, Li Cai, can it be that you are going to go against him?” The Emperor was furious.
“Your Majesty! Right now, we only listen to the First Prince. We don’t care about anything else!” Leng Xiaoran sneered.
“That’s right. Although my Yongsheng Auction House has done a lot of business, there is still room for improvement. Li Cai is really unwilling!” Li Cai smiled.
“You guys are too presumptuous! This is the Imperial Palace, a place ruled by lone warriors! Do you think you and these soldiers alone can threaten Lone Warrior?” The Emperor said angrily.
“Father! Big brother is determined to seize your throne! Your son is willing to advance and retreat with you!” Zhu Li said.
“Li’er, you know Dali well! Lonely Heart is not cold! Help me, capture them!” The Emperor looked at Zhu Li with satisfaction, and then suddenly gave an order.
Whoosh!
Something that shocked Zhu Zhi and the others happened. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers surged out from various hidden places and surrounded them instead!
The Emperor said coldly, “Don’t think that I don’t know your plan! I knew that you had the heart to seize the throne for a long time, but now take them all down!”
Zhu Zhi sneered and looked at the fully armed soldiers. Not only was he not afraid, he laughed heartily instead. “Father, it seems that you still haven’t seen the situation clearly. Do you really think that this is all I have? Come on, open the palace gate!”
They were blocking the door, and when they heard his order, someone immediately opened the palace gate. The soldiers outside the city wall rushed in and formed an anti-encirclement once again.
Three circles around here, three circles outside, it looks really lively.
Then, the ministers who were waiting outside walked in one after another. Most of the generals stood beside Zhu Zhi, while the civil servants ran behind the emperor. However, seeing that the situation seemed to be wrong, some people rolled their eyes and simply turned to Zhu Zhi.
Qin Fei smiled bitterly. How could this be like a child living in a family? These officials were simply too lacking in backbone.
“Father, all the officials in the court are willing to take me as their emperor. What else can you do? It’s better to step aside. I can guarantee you a happy old age!” Zhu Zhi laughed loudly.
At this time, many soldiers who had originally followed the Emperor’s orders and surrounded Zhu Zhi saw their superiors, that is, the generals, standing beside Zhu Zhi, so the encirclement instantly dispersed, and 70% of them ran to the opposite side.
As a result, the situation had changed, and the Emperor was once again empty.
The Emperor’s body trembled as he pointed at Zhu Zhi angrily. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of thick blood. His face was deathly pale and he fell to the ground in a daze.
He was completely enraged.
The Third Prince hurriedly supported the Emperor and asked the Fifth Prince to bring the Emperor down. He coldly looked at Zhu Zhi and the others and said, “Are you really going to rebel?”
“My lovely third brother, isn’t this obvious?” Zhu Zhi looked at Zhu Li playfully as if he was the victor.
“Alright! Then I won’t care about brotherhood anymore! The other brothers and sisters, I hope you can reconsider. It’s a capital crime to rebel with him!” Zhu Li looked at the other princes and princesses.
Zhu Zhi was quite powerful. He had actually recruited five of his seven brothers. He had also taken over two of the three princesses. Right now, there were only five younger brothers and eight younger sisters beside Zhu Li.
The other party did not listen to his persuasion and instead persuaded him to follow the eldest prince.
The Third Prince smiled, tears in his eyes. They were all brothers and sisters, but now they were going to fight each other!
Zhu Zhi didn’t want to wait any longer. He suddenly waved his hand and Shu Mo Cheng immediately nodded. He raised his hand and a ray of light flew into the air. Then, with a loud explosion, an eagle-shaped ball of light appeared in the sky, illuminating the heavens and earth.
Zhu Li suddenly smiled and looked at the Red Swallow that had been following him!
Red Swallow did the same thing, but what appeared in the sky was a bright red rose.
“Looks like you’re prepared! But it’s already too late! Qin Fei, aren’t you coming to this prince’s side?” The Eldest Prince smiled and called Qin Fei over.
Qin Fei shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m sorry, Your Highness, I’m afraid I won’t help you!”
“Damn it! Don’t tell me you don’t want Lei Zhen’s life anymore?” Zhu Zhi said angrily.
“Of course. Unfortunately, this is not something you can decide!” Qin Fei said calmly, as if he didn’t care about Lei Zhen’s safety at all.
“You” Zhu Zhi suddenly felt that something was wrong. Qin Fei’s current performance caused him to have a bad feeling in his heart.
Right at this moment, Shu Mo Cheng ran to his side and said, “Your Highness is not good. The teleportation array is unusable. The soldiers outside the city cannot enter!”
“Damn it! We’ve been tricked!” Zhu Zhi instantly understood and stared fiercely at Qin Fei, “It was you who did this!”
Qin Fei nodded generously and said, “Not bad, it’s me! Your teleportation array won’t have any effect!”
Zhu Li smiled and said, “Big Brother, stop now. I can plead with father and won’t pursue your fault this time!”
“Dream on!” Zhu Zhi said angrily, completely rejecting Zhu Li’s persuasion. He looked at Leng Xiaoran and the others and said, “Hall Master Leng, Hall Master Li, help me capture him immediately! As long as I kill him, no one will compete with me for the throne anymore!”
Leng Xiaoran and Leng Xiaoran nodded. Just as they were about to make a move, a bright light suddenly flashed on the ground behind Qin Fei and the Third Prince. A white light soared into the sky and reached the clouds.
At the same time, dozens of pillars of light shot out from behind them, firmly protecting Qin Fei and the others!
In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand figures appeared, surrounding Qin Fei, Zhu Li, and the others and turning around to face Zhu Zhi and the others.
These people all possessed extremely powerful strength. The weakest of them was someone at the eighth level of the Martial Stage, and most of them were experts at the sixth or seventh level of the Earth Martial Stage.
“This” Zhu Zhi was shocked and looked at Qin Fei in embarrassment. “You actually dared to help him!”
‘”That’s right. So what if I help him? Of course, I’m my brother’s priority. Will I help you, the one who tried to kill me? The array I set up for you is all semi-finished. Without me, no one can open it. Thanks to your help, so many profound stones helped Brother Li complete the teleportation array. Speaking of which, I really want to thank you!” Qin Fei laughed.
That’s right, the profound stones he had set up were actually several times more than he had purposely asked Zhu Zhi for. He had even tampered with the teleportation arrays he had set up for Zhu Zhi. Without him, these arrays would not be able to operate at all.
He took out all the extra profound stones and gave them to Zhu Li to set up the formation.
As for Shu Mo Cheng, who had been observing from the side, Zhu Zhi thought that Qin Fei would definitely not be able to fake it.
However, he had forgotten that Qin Fei was the real formation-setter. In his opinion, the things that were very normal were actually all secrets.
