Supreme Return

Chapter 70

In the imperial capital, the surrounding area of ​​the imperial capital, and even the entire Qingyun Empire, the news that the King of Chu is about to rebel has spread wildly in recent days, as if he has grown wings, and everyone knows it.

The so-called three people become a tiger, and many people will believe the rumors.

Not to mention other people, even many servants in the Prince Chu's mansion are like this. In the past few days, many people have gathered together to discuss, it is simply not like this...

In the palace, Zhao Qingtian's complexion has never been good, and it is so gloomy that it is about to drip water.

Beside them, Empress Feng Xiu, Crown Prince Zhao Ran and Princess Mingyue Zhao Wan'er also had extremely ugly expressions. Only they knew in their hearts that even if the entire empire betrayed the royal family, the Chu Palace would never have any rebellious intentions.

If the king of Chu, Chu Xiaotian, really wanted to be emperor, then he could do it very early. After all, Chu Xiaotian was indeed better than Zhao Qingtian in many respects.

Back then, when the late emperor was around, he had the idea of ​​passing the throne to Chu Xiaotian, but Chu Xiaotian refused without hesitation.

In his words...

Only good at leading troops to fight, not suitable for dealing with political affairs!

He would rather spend his whole life assisting his sworn brother!
The throne was at your fingertips back then, why bother to fight for it now?

As for the rumored "Great Achievement Overwhelms the Lord", it is even more nonsense.

If Zhao Qingtian really felt that Chu Xiaotian was so powerful that he had to kill him, then why wait until now?
The most important point is that Chu Xiaotian is not in Chu Palace now, so why talk about rebellion?

Wouldn't it be better to set up a Hongmen Banquet and directly capture the entire emperor's family?
Why bother with so many circles?

"Father, is there any news from Wang Lin?" Suddenly, Prince Zhao Ran asked in a low voice.

"No, still checking!"

Zhao Qingtian shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said, "The instigators of those rumors are hiding very deeply, even those who assassinated you that night have no news!"

"Father, where did Uncle Wang and Brother Xuan go? They haven't come back yet!"

On the side, Zhao Ran pouted and said, "If they were here, let them come forward to explain, and now there won't be so many rumors!"

"Your Uncle Wang told me before he left that he was going to find his chance, and it must be some time before he returns!"

Zhao Qingtian simply replied, but suddenly there was a cold light in his eyes, and he said in a stern voice, "I'm afraid the people behind the scenes just noticed that their father and son are not in the imperial capital, so that such rumors spread! Combined with you that night The news of being assassinated, I want to get the news completely confirmed before King Chu and his father and son come back!"

"When the time comes, Father, you will be pressured by the public, even if you don't want to do anything to Uncle Wang, it will be impossible!" Zhao Ran said with an ugly face.

This is the reason why the so-called defense of the people's mouth is better than Fangchuan.

"No way? Father, you really want to attack Uncle Wang and Brother Xuan!" Zhao Wan said in surprise.

"of course not!"

Zhao Qingtian answered very firmly, and sneered, "Those people behind the scenes, they underestimate the brotherly relationship between me and Xiaotian! Isn't it just a throne? If Xiaotian really wants it, what does it matter?"

"Father, there shouldn't be many people who can know that Uncle Wang is not in the imperial capital, right?" Zhao Ran said in a deep voice.

"Naturally not many, even the people in the court don't know much!"

Zhao Qingtian said coldly, "Now that we have figured this out, it will be easy!"

While speaking, Zhao Qingtian's eyes flickered with a real cold light, which made people feel chills in their hearts.

Once upon a time, Zhao Qingtian was also a murderer on the battlefield. Although he was not as famous as Chu Xiaotian's title of "Battlefield Killer", his throne was not for nothing!

…………

On the other side, just as the news that the King of Chu is about to rebel spreads throughout the Qingyun Empire...

Chu Xiaotian, Chu Xuan, and the six people who supported Sun Hao, including Sanxing, left the secret place and reappeared in the outside world.

However, as soon as he came out, he heard such rumors very quickly, which made Chu Xiaotian's expression extremely ugly.

"Father, don't worry!"

Seeing this, Chu Xuan smiled softly, with a very evil smile on his face.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian was a little astonished, "Could it be that, Xuan'er, you have already expected this?"

"Father, do you still remember that after we left Xuanyou Mountain, the boy suddenly received a message from Xiaoyue?" Chu Xuan asked with a smile.

"Some impression!"

Chu Xiaotian recalled it for a while. It was on the way they left Xuanyou Mountain and rushed to this secret treasure. Chu Xuan suddenly received a letter. That message was actually related to the current news.

Said that he, Chu Xiaotian, would rebel?

Isn't this the big joke of the slippery world?

"This matter is just the beginning! It will be more exciting in the future, and you will understand, father!"

Chu Xuan said with a smile, and then said, "There are two most important things for us now! First, send Elder Sun back to Xuanyuan Villa. President Ouyang is still waiting!"

"Thank you...thank you, my lord, thank you, son!" Sun Hao had already woken up, but he was still weak. After all, the consumption of this period of time is not so simple and easy to recover.

"What about the second one?" Chu Xiaotian asked in surprise.

"It's you, father!"

"I?"

Chu Xiaotian was a little suspicious, but Chu Xuan continued with a smile, "You have to practice again, it will take time!"

"..."

Chu Xiaotian was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, he is still not used to it. After all, after becoming a demon cultivator, the way of cultivation is completely different from before.

"Okay, I need a quiet place!" Chu Xiaotian said.

"Hehe... Let's go back and talk!"

"go!"

Immediately, the few people stopped talking, and speeded up, heading in the direction of Xuanyuan Villa in Bilian Mountain.

Along the way, they also met a lot of people, and they heard more and more rumors. If Chu Xuan and the others were other people, they might have already believed it.

Because of Chu Xuan's words, although Chu Xiaotian's face was extremely gloomy, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"stop!"

Just as they had been driving for a long time, and seeing the arrival of dusk, suddenly several people flashed out from both sides and stood in front of them.

These few people have good strength, the lowest are all five-level warriors, and there is even a five-level magician among them.

But their eyes were extremely unfriendly, full of greed and cruelty.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?" Chu Xuan asked with a frown.

"Do you know where this is? After passing here, you didn't even say hello to us. I think you guys are getting impatient!" One of the sixth-level mid-level warriors said arrogantly.

"Are you from Spirit Castle?"

Chu Xuan continued to frown.

I thought that there would be no connection with Lingshang Castle. Everything went smoothly before, but now I encountered something on the way back. I wonder if this is bad luck?

"Now that you know our origin, don't you need to say more?"

The sixth-level warrior sneered, "Follow us honestly and go back to meet the castle master, maybe I will save you a little life!"

"Even if this is the sphere of influence of your Spirit Castle, don't outsiders be allowed to pass through?" Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes and replied coldly.

"Don't talk nonsense! Come with us honestly, or it will make you look good!"

While the man was talking, the others walked towards Chu Xuan and the others with disdain and ridicule on their faces, but Chu Xiaotian couldn't help snorting when he saw this...

As a prince himself, how has he ever been treated like this?
Leaving aside this identity, he has only become a demon cultivator not long ago. Perhaps because of the spirit of the demon veins, he is different from ordinary demon cultivators, but now he is somewhat unable to control his temper, and his body begins to surge There was a faint black awn gas.

"Father, calm down!"

Chu Xuan's heart suddenly moved, and he smiled lightly, "Since you want us to go, let's go and see! My child also wants to see what Lingxiao Castle looks like, how can it be so overbearing!"

"Xuan'er?"

Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian couldn't help frowning.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter! Isn't the agreed time ten days? It's only half past now!" Chu Xuan laughed again, and at the same time gave Chu Xiaotian a wink calmly.

"That's it, all right!"

Chu Xiaotian shrugged, and immediately glared at those people, "Lead the way ahead!"

"You...Okay, okay! Our brothers will make you guys look good in a while!"

The man was about to say something, but under Chu Xiaotian's staring eyes, he felt fear in his heart, so he could only leave a word sternly and began to lead the way.

Lingxiao Fort, as the most powerful force in the vicinity, is also located on the highest mountain within hundreds of miles, named Lingmu Peak.

The entire Lingmu Peak is a thousand meters high, and on the top of the mountain is the location of Lingxiao Castle.

When Chu Xuan and his group were brought to the foot of Lingmu Peak, they saw many people from Lingxiao Castle, all of them looked so proud, but they looked at Chu Xuan and the others as if they were being slaughtered. The sheep are so arrogant.

"This Lingxiao Castle is definitely not a good thing! Xuan'er, why do you have to come here?" Chu Xiaotian frowned and said in a low voice.

"Father, you will understand in a while!" Chu Xuan smiled mysteriously.

"Uh……"

Chu Xiaotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing Chu Xuan's mysterious appearance, he just shook his head speechlessly, and continued up the mountain without further words.

The one-thousand-meter journey up the mountain ended in a short time. Chu Xuan and the others successfully reached the top of the mountain, and the huge Lingxiao Castle in front of them also appeared in front of them.

Lingxiao Castle is very big, like a large fortress, combined with the existence of Lingmu Peak, it seems to be an excellent place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is similar to Jiuqu Mountain owned by Chu Xuan.

However, at this moment, Chu Xiaotian's face suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Xuan, and said, "Xuan'er, here..."

"Is there demonic energy? And it's from the same source as what you inhaled, father?" Chu Xuan said with a smile.

"you know?"

Chu Xiaotian was very surprised, while Chu Xuan continued to smile, "Actually, when I saw these people before, I noticed something. I think maybe this trip to Lingxiao Castle will help you, father!"

"I see! Now, I'm even more curious as a father!" Chu Xiaotian nodded.

"Hurry up!"

At this time, perhaps because they felt that they had arrived at Lingxiao Castle, the few people who led the way in front shouted one after another, quite like arrogance.

"Hehe, who are these people? I said Little Six, you must have been kidnapped by them, right?"

At this moment, a rather charming female voice came from the side.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a woman in a revealing black miniskirt walking over, followed by several people dressed as maids.

This woman is extremely coquettish, her eyes, smile and every move are full of boundless charm...
