Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

A smug smile appeared on Yuan Tianding's lips. He waved his hand and led the guards into the passage.

An ancient and mysterious atmosphere permeated the passage, and the night pearls on the wall emitted a faint light, illuminating their way forward.

The guards couldn't help feeling a little nervous. They followed Yuan Tianding closely, weapons tightly gripped in their hands, alert to everything around them.

Yuan Tianding seemed exceptionally calm, his steps were steady and powerful, as if he knew everything here.

As they went deeper, the atmosphere in the passage became more and more dignified.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound coming from the front, like someone whispering.

Yuan Tianding immediately stopped and signaled the guards to keep quiet.

They listened quietly, and the sound seemed to become clearer and clearer.

"It's the eldest princess and Fang Yue!" a guard whispered.

Yuan Tianding nodded slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"They are just ahead, proceed with caution."

They continued to move forward and finally arrived at the huge underground palace.

The eldest princess and Fang Yue in the palace were standing in front of the door with flashing light. When they heard the noise, they turned around immediately.

The eldest princess's face turned pale in an instant, and she held Fang Yue's hand tightly.

Fang Yue's face was solemn, and his eyes revealed firm determination.

"Princess, Fang Yue, do you think you can escape?" Yuan Tianding said with a sneer.

Fang Yue took a step forward, stood in front of the princess, and said coldly:
"Yuan Tianding, you colluded with foreign enemies and framed loyal people for your own selfish interests. Today I will make you pay the price."

Yuan Tianding laughed loudly: "Just you? You dare to go against me? You can't escape today."

As he spoke, Yuan Tianding waved his hand, and the guards immediately rushed forward and surrounded Fang Yue and the eldest princess.

Fang Yue was not afraid at all. He drew out his sword and stared at the guards who surrounded him with sharp eyes.

"Princess, please stand back and let me deal with them."

Fang Yue said in a low voice, his tone full of determination.

The eldest princess bit her lip and nodded slightly. She knew that she couldn't cause trouble for Fang Yue at this time.

Fang Yue brandished his sword with great force. With one thrust of the sword, the guards in front of him with strong cultivation fell down in groups.

The guards around were frightened, but under Yuan Tianding's angry shout, they had no choice but to continue the siege.

Fang Yue was agile and moved among the crowd like a cheetah, and every swing of the sword in his hand brought up a cold light.

The eldest princess watched Fang Yue's battle nervously from the side, holding the magic weapon taken out of the treasure chest tightly in her hand, ready to help Fang Yue when he was in danger at any time.

However, Yuan Tianding did not sit idly by. His eyes turned cold, and he quickly formed seals with his hands, and a powerful magical force attacked Fang Yue.

Fang Yue felt a strong pressure coming from behind and quickly dodged to the side, but was still hit by the aftermath of the spell and his body shook slightly.

He gritted his teeth, steadied himself, and continued to fight with the guards.

"Hmph, I don't know whether to live or die."

Yuan Tianding snorted coldly and cast a spell again.

This time, the spell was even more powerful, and the entire underground palace began to tremble.

Seeing this, the eldest princess could no longer sit idly by.

She raised the magic weapon in her hand and muttered something. The magic weapon shone brightly, and a bright light shot straight towards Yuan Tianding's magic.

The two powerful forces collided in the air, making a deafening sound. More cracks appeared on the walls of the underground palace, and some rubble fell.

Fang Yue took the opportunity to swing his sword again, and several more guards fell under his sword.

But under the pressure of Yuan Tianding, the guards still came like a tide.

Some wounds gradually appeared on Fang Yue's body, and blood stained his clothes red.

"Fang Yue, be careful!" the eldest princess shouted anxiously.

While she was using magic weapons to fend off Yuan Tianding's continuous spells, she was also paying attention to Fang Yue's safety.

Yuan Tianding became more and more angry when he saw Fang Yue and the eldest princess’s stubborn resistance.

He increased the output of his spells, and powerful rays of light flashed in the underground palace.

Fang Yue dodged a fatal spell attack and then quickly rushed towards Yuan Tianding.

He knew that only by defeating Yuan Tianding could the battle end.

Yuan Tianding sneered and met Fang Yue's attack.

The two of them immediately engaged in a fierce close combat, Fang Yue's sword and Yuan Tianding's magic constantly collided, emitting sparks.

During the fierce battle, Fang Yue gradually discovered that although Yuan Tianding's magic was powerful, it also had its weaknesses.

He began to look for the flaws in Yuan Tianding's magic, preparing to give him a fatal blow.

After some observation, Fang Yue finally discovered a flaw in Yuan Tianding's magic.

He seized the opportunity and launched his strongest attack, stabbing Yuan Tianding with his sword with fierce momentum.

Yuan Tianding was horrified and quickly dodged to the side, but Fang Yue's sword was so fast that it still cut a deep gash on his shoulder.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining Yuan Tianding's clothes red.

"hateful!"

Yuan Tianding roared, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

He cast his spell again, trying to save the situation.

However, he was injured at this time, and the power of the spell was greatly reduced.

Fang Yue took advantage of the victory and pursued Yuan Tianding without giving him a chance to catch his breath.

He brandished his sword like a god of war, pressing forward step by step.

When the guards around saw Yuan Tianding injured, they began to waver.

They didn't know whether to continue fighting or take the opportunity to escape.

The eldest princess also took the opportunity to intensify the attack of her magic weapon, and rays of light shot towards the guards, throwing them into chaos.

"You bunch of rubbish! Hurry up!"

Yuan Tianding roared at the guards. But the guards were already intimidated by Fang Yue and the princess's aura and did not dare to step forward easily.

Fang Yue seized the opportunity and launched another fierce attack.

This time, his sword stabbed directly into Yuan Tianding's chest.

Yuan Tianding was unable to dodge and was pierced by the sword.

His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Then, he slowly fell down, spitting out a mouthful of blood. "Master Imperial Master!" the guards shouted in horror.

They looked at the fallen Yuan Tianding, their hearts filled with fear.

Some guards began to flee the underground palace, fearing that they would be hunted down by Fang Yue and the eldest princess.

Fang Yue and the eldest princess finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at Yuan Tianding lying on the ground, their hearts filled with joy of victory.

"We finally succeeded." said the eldest princess, with tears in her eyes.

Fang Yue nodded and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Princess, this is just the first step. We must expose Yuan Tianding's crimes to His Majesty as soon as possible and restore the peace of the Chu Kingdom."

The eldest princess wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and her expression became firm.

"That's right. We can't let our guard down. Now we have to leave here and return to the palace."

They quickly packed up their things and prepared to leave the underground palace.

Before leaving, the princess took another look at the treasure chest and prayed silently in her heart that the future of Da Chu would be better.

They walked out carefully along the passage. The passage was still filled with a mysterious atmosphere, but they felt much more relaxed at this time.

When they walked out of the passage and came to the valley of Taihuang Mountain, the sunlight shone on them, as if cheering for their victory.

The eldest princess took a deep breath and felt the breath of nature.

When the Emperor of Great Chu learned of the death of Imperial Master Yuan Tianding, he fell into panic.

Yuan Tianding had extensive influence in the court, and his sudden death undoubtedly brought a huge impact on the situation in Da Chu.

The emperor paced back and forth in the imperial study with a frown on his face.

He knew very well that once Yuan Tianding died, those forces that were dependent on Yuan Tianding would likely become restless, and foreign enemies might also take this opportunity to take action.

"Come here, pass on my order and quickly summon the important officials in the court to discuss countermeasures." The emperor said loudly.

Soon, important officials of the court came to the imperial study. Everyone looked solemn, knowing that Da Chu was facing a serious situation.

"Yuan Tianding's death means Fang Yue has fully recovered. This man's strength should not be underestimated, and I don't know whether he will do anything bad to me. My dear ministers, what do you think about this matter?" The emperor asked worriedly.

An old minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Yue is brave, but he is with the princess. If Your Majesty can treat him with both kindness and power and recruit him as a consort, he may be able to serve Your Majesty and serve the Great Chu."

After listening to the old minister's words, the emperor fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "What you said is not without reason. But this matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

Fang Yue and the eldest princess returned to the capital of Chu without stopping.

The moment they stepped into the imperial capital, the prosperous scene formed a sharp contrast with the turmoil in their hearts.

The crowds bustling in the streets seemed unaware of the impending storm in the palace.

After Fang Yue came up with the idea of ​​asking the Emperor of Great Chu to abdicate, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

The princess noticed his strangeness and asked softly, "Fang Yue, what are you thinking about?"

Fang Yue was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Princess, the current Emperor of Great Chu is incompetent and has allowed Yuan Tianding to do whatever he wants, causing the country to fall into such a predicament. I believe that he is no longer suitable to rule Great Chu."

The eldest princess's face changed slightly. She knew the seriousness of this idea.

"Fang Yue, this matter cannot be acted rashly. If you act rashly, it may cause greater turmoil."

Fang Yue nodded slightly, but his belief did not waver.

"Princess, I understand the risks involved, but if he continues to be the emperor, the conflict between the two countries will probably never cease."

After hearing what Fang Yue said, the princess fell into deep thought. She knew that what Fang Yue said was not without reason. The current emperor was indeed incompetent and the country was in trouble because of him. But it was not easy to make the emperor abdicate. The risks and consequences were unpredictable.

"Fang Yue, do you have any specific plans?" asked the eldest princess.

Fang Yue frowned slightly and said, "Princess, we need to contact the ministers and generals in the court who are dissatisfied with the emperor first and win their support. At the same time, we must expose the emperor's foolish behavior and Yuan Tianding's crimes, so that the people can see the emperor's true face. Only in this way can we have a chance to make the emperor abdicate."

The princess said worriedly: "Although this plan is feasible to a certain extent, it is also very dangerous. If it fails, we will face a catastrophe."

Fang Yue held the princess's hand and said with a firm look:
"Princess, for the future of Da Chu, we must be brave and give it a try. Even if we face great risks, we cannot back down."

The eldest princess looked at Fang Yue's determined eyes, and her worries were slightly relieved.

She nodded and said, "Okay, Fang Yue, I'll go with you."

So, Fang Yue and the eldest princess began to secretly contact those ministers and generals in the court who were dissatisfied with the emperor.

They acted extremely cautiously, and every meeting was arranged in a very secretive place.

Those ministers and generals who were dissatisfied with the emperor were also full of doubts and worries at first.

After all, making the emperor abdicate is an extremely dangerous thing, and if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, when Fang Yue and the eldest princess explained to them in detail the various dangers brought about by the emperor's stupidity and the difficulties that Da Chu might face in the future, some people began to waver.

They recalled the injustice and oppression they had suffered under the emperor's rule, and gradually a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts.

An old general said: "We have been in the court for many years, and we have long been dissatisfied with the country's decline. If Fang Yue and the princess can really lead the Chu Kingdom back on the right track, we are willing to support them with all our strength."

As time went on, more and more ministers and generals joined their camp.

They began to discuss the specific action plan together, how to expose the emperor's crimes, how to control the situation at the critical moment, and every detail was discussed and considered repeatedly.

At the same time, Fang Yue and the eldest princess did not forget the power of the people.

They sent their confidants to spread the emperor's stupidity and Yuan Tianding's evil deeds among the people, causing strong indignation among the people.

The people began to question the emperor's rule and were worried about the future.

At this time, the emperor was still immersed in his own world of power and knew nothing about the actions of Fang Yue and the eldest princess.

He continued to squander the country's wealth, indulged in pleasure, and was indifferent to the suffering of the people.

But some of the emperor's close confidants began to notice something was wrong and reported some suspicious signs to the emperor.

The emperor then became alert and ordered the guards of the palace to be strengthened and those who were dissatisfied with him to be investigated.

Fang Yue and the eldest princess knew that they had to speed up their actions.

They decided to launch a final attack at an appropriate time to force the emperor to abdicate and bring new hope to Da Chu.

Finally, a perfect opportunity arose.

The emperor decided to hold a grand banquet in the palace and invited many nobles and officials to attend.

Fang Yue and the Princess Royal saw this as a golden opportunity to expose the emperor's crimes at the banquet and force him to abdicate.

They carefully planned their course of action.

On the day of the banquet, Fang Yue led a group of loyal generals and soldiers to sneak into the palace and hide in various key locations.

The eldest princess, wearing gorgeous clothes, entered the banquet hall with some trusted ministers. (End of this chapter)
