Chapter 2795 The Third Generation Emperor!
If he hadn't run away with a guilty conscience, how could all these things have happened later?

After all, it’s because the mental quality is not strong enough.

Now, staying in Xingyang City has no meaning for Chen Muyu.

But he hasn't decided where to go yet.

Moreover, the Fengshan Conference has not yet ended, the situation in Xingyang City is not stable, and things have not yet been settled, so now does not seem to be the best time to leave.

Let’s wait a little longer, wait a few days.

Wait until after the Fengshan Conference and then find a chance to say goodbye, so as not to arouse suspicion from Li Xu and others.

……

-

The next day.

As soon as Chen Muyu arrived at the front yard, he heard Ye Bato say that Xumi and the others had returned to Xingyang City.

Li Xu went to negotiate with them.

"Do you think they can reach an agreement?" Chen Muyu asked casually.

Ye Bato shook his head. "It's hard to say for sure. But whether we can reach an agreement or not, we have to lend this divine bird to him whether we want to or not."

This may sound arrogant, but it is also true.

Chen Muyu thought it made a lot of sense.

Ye Bato asked, "Where does this Yang Ming come from?"

Chen Muyu shrugged, "This person and I both came from the outside world. I'm sure you should have heard of the four worlds outside of Zhongzhou, right?"

"Ah."

Ye Bato nodded, "I have one thing that I really can't understand."

"Oh?" Chen Muyu looked at him in surprise.

Ye Bato said, "Since the queen has promised that she would give him the best dragon essence fruit after the task is completed, why did he go and take it behind our backs? Besides, if he wants to take the fruit, why does he have to destroy the tree?"

"This……"

Chen Muyu was stunned when he heard this. This Ye Bato is quite smart.

"I'm afraid we can only ask Yang Ming in person after we find him."

Chen Muyu shook his head and did not answer his question. He couldn't possibly tell Ye Bato that there was something hidden in the Longyuan Fruit Tree, right?
"Ah."

Ye Bato did not delve further into this issue, but simply said, "Both of us are from outside the domain, Brother Yang, but you are much more honest than Yang Ming."

I don't know if there is any deeper meaning in his words, or if he is testing me.

Anyway, Chen Muyu took his words as a compliment, "You are too kind, fellow Taoist. As the saying goes, one meal can support a hundred kinds of people. In this life, Yang just wants to be upright and live up to his heart."

After saying this, he felt disgusted.

Can it be considered as being aboveboard?
Is it true? That's true.

Ye Bato looked at Chen Muyu deeply, and finally nodded seriously, but he didn't know whether he believed Chen Muyu's lies.

……

Just as the two were chatting, earth-shaking changes took place in the court of the Dapeng Empire.

Today, in Fengyang Palace, Emperor Peng Kun did not attend the morning court.

The one who presided over the court meeting was the second prince Peng Kuan.

Carrying the emperor's handwritten order, he walked into Fengyang Palace with confident steps, like a proud peacock.

The emperor's decree was read out in front of all the civil and military officials.

The emperor abdicated and entered the holy land to practice, and the second prince Peng Kuan succeeded to the throne.

At that moment, the entire court was in an uproar.

Before this, the court was roughly divided into two factions. One faction supported Peng Kuan's direct lineage and the other supported the third prince Peng Ling, who held the view of appointing people based on their merits.

Later, the three princes were captured.

Seeing that there was no hope for the Third Prince's faction, many of them turned to Peng Kuan's faction. However, with the sudden rise of the Fifth Prince Peng Chong, and the deliberate recruitment of Concubine Yun, they quickly formed a force that could compete with Peng Kuan's faction. Everyone wanted to be a follower of the emperor. As long as the Emperor did not announce his abdication and who would inherit the throne, everyone had a chance.

But now, the holy will has come out.

Everything is settled.

In the court, those officials who supported Peng Chong felt as if they had lost their parents.

Of course, there will inevitably be people who will raise objections.

Why did the emperor abdicate suddenly without even consulting the court officials?

Even if he wanted to abdicate, why didn't the Emperor show up in person? Instead, he just gave a handwritten order.

This is a bit too hasty.

The one who reacted most strongly was Concubine Yun.

When Concubine Yun learned about this, she rushed directly into Fengyang Palace and questioned the authenticity of the handwritten edict in Peng Kuan's hand on the spot.

But what's the use?
The people behind her, the strong men from the Blood Blade Organization, all died yesterday. What confidence does she still have?

Peng Kuan was panicked for a moment, but the arrival of the emperor and empress gave him reassurance.

The appearance of the Emperor and Empress directly suppressed Concubine Yun, banned her from practicing, and banished her to the cold palace.

Among so many court officials, who dared to raise any objection?

As for why the Emperor did not show up.

The reason given by the Emperor and Empress was simple; the Emperor had already touched the bottleneck of the Eight-Star Realm and was facing a breakthrough at any time. Therefore, he had no time to say goodbye to everyone and went into seclusion in the Holy Land last night.

As for this explanation, people could neither believe nor disbelieve it.

Those with a little bit of cultivation were able to sense yesterday's battle at Xishan to some extent, but no matter how much they inquired, they were unable to find out the exact situation.

In fact, everyone has their own guesses.

However, this cannot be confirmed.

Whatever the emperor and empress say, that’s what it is.

The court officials also knew that from today on, the court would undergo a major change, and it would be a radical change.

But they had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and accept it.

In order to intimidate, the emperor and empress used both kindness and force in the court and punished some people on the spot.

Under her strong suppression, the court gradually stabilized.

The emperor's handwritten edict in Peng Kuan's hand also became a legitimate existence.

After discussion on the spot, the date for Peng Kuan to ascend the throne was determined.

It was fifteen days later.

Peng Kuan ascended the throne and became the third emperor of the Great Peng Empire.

Afterwards, he will go to Jade Emperor Mountain on behalf of his father to complete the Fengshan Ceremony.

The hearts of the eight dukes need to be won over, and the hearts of the people of the world also need to be won over. The Fengshan ceremony is imperative.

As for the high-quality Dragon Yuan Fruit that will be bestowed upon the eight dukes during the Fengshan Ceremony.

The emperor and empress still have some stock.

Although they could not produce the top-grade Dragon Yuan Fruit, the Emperor and Empress had accumulated some high-grade Dragon Yuan Fruit over the years, both openly and secretly.

Otherwise, where would the Dragon Yuan Fruit that Li Xu used to break through the Seven Star Realm come from?

The morning meeting lasted until the afternoon.

It was three quarters past noon when the court was finally dismissed.

The moment they walked out of the palace gate, these court officials knew very well in their hearts that things had changed. The Dapeng Dynasty had changed from today on.

Both the Fifth Prince's lineage and the Third Prince's lineage were defeated miserably this time.

In the face of absolute strength, the alliance formed by these court officials is a complete joke.
