Against The Gods
Chapter 154 – Truth

"Blue Moon Princess …. She is actually .. The Princess of the Blue Moon …. '' Yun Che muttered lethargicly. As a citizen of the Blue Wind Empire, Yun Che would naturally not know the name of the Blue Moon Princess. Blue Wind Emperor Cang Wanhe currently had a total of seven sons and one daughter, the crown prince was the "Blue Dragon Crown Prince" Cang Lin, and his only daughter, was the "Blue Moon Princess" Cang Yue's. When he was young, both the Emperor and the Princess were in legends. Although she and Xiao Lingxi sometimes fantasized about how the emperor and princess looked like, she never expected to meet them one day.

As a boy, there will always be a special kind of fantasy against "Daughter". That's because the title "Princess" symbolizes glory, elegance, and beauty; the most perfect and grandeur of women in the world. Yun Che had not expected at all, that Lan Xueruo was actually the Blue Moon Princess whom he had yearned for and fantasized many times when he was young, just like many other men.

He made sure that Lan Xueruo's identity must be very dignified, but never thought about the identity of "Princess". It was because the Princess came from the imperial family, and was also the only princess of the emperor; she would naturally carry a thick and haughty aura. But he could not find the slightest bit of them inside Lan Xueruo; there was only gentleness and kindness. He was so kind to anyone and everyone, never had an arrogant attitude, and would never look down on or discriminate against anyone. When seeing others in trouble, his first thought was to help them …. This disposition was completely different from the image of the Blue Moon Princess in his mind. She was even more approachable and gentle than a woman from an ordinary office family.

She is the Princess of the Blue Moon…. But I, only a vagrant with no background, influence or family came from Floating Cloud City. Why would he treat me like that?

"Since she was the Blue Moon Princess, why was she in New Moon City during that time?" Yun Che asked involuntarily.

Qin Wuyou did not directly answer him, and asked back: "Yun Che, do you know the current condition of the Blue Wind Imperial Family?"

Yun Che thought for a while, and lightly nodded, “I know a little, Senior Brother Sikong briefly mentioned it to me earlier. It seemed as if the Emperor was very ill, and Crown Prince Cang Lin as well as third prince Cang Shuo, were secretly preparing to seize the next Emperor seat. They had also each been connected to the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan. ”

As he said up to here, Yun Che's heart was depressed. Emperor is very ill …. It was no wonder why the depths of his eyes always hid a deep depression; so that was the reason.

"Religion . "Qin Wuyou nodded, then began to tell in detail.

“It was about three years ago. The emperor suddenly fell ill and was unable to recover, and no doctor in the palace had any healing methods. I invited the publicly accepted number one genius physician Gu Qiuhong afterward to diagnose and treat the Emperor. The conclusion he came to was that the Emperor had worked hard for many years, and had already hidden diseases all over his body. With the cold wind of that time, all the hidden diseases broke apart and damaged his Life Vein, making his vitality extremely weak. Damage to the Living Veins could not be cured with any medicine; there was no other way but to be nourished all day and night with highly nutritious items. ”

“How many years of hidden diseases? To destroy Life Vein? ”Alis Yun Che instantly locked together. Do these symptoms exist?

“Several dozen famous doctors across the country were also invited afterwards, and they all concluded that the Emperor had absolutely no disease, only that his body was weak and unexplainable. And this conclusion all instantly proved the words of genius physician Gu Qiuhong were true. And Gu Qiuhong also said earlier, the damage to the life vein cannot be cured with any medicine. If the Emperor was well-maintained, he could live at most five years. As the number one genius physician in the Blue Wind Empire, Gu Qiuhong had never uttered any baseless words in the art of medicine. It had been three years now, which also meant that the current Emperor's lifespan was at most two years away. Last month, my elder brother had even entered the palace and met the Emperor. When he returned, he said the Emperor's skin was very bad, and his breathing was weak; moreover two years, it was hard to tell whether he could last a year or not. ”

Yun Che "…"

"After the Emperor's Life Vein was broken and he couldn't get out of bed, trouble began to occur everywhere in the palace. Crown Prince Cang Lin started knocking from the side for the Emperor to let him succeed, and Third Prince Cang Shuo had already been looking at the Emperor's throne for longer. The two of them had only secretly fought at first, but along with the escalation of the battle, it became an open war that everyone in Blue Wind Imperial City knew about. The Crown Prince had the support of the Second and Seventh Princes; the Third Prince on the other hand, was supported by the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Princes. Both of them used various methods to win power within the palace, even to the point of devouring the core power of the Emperor bit by bit. Both sides are always balanced, and no one can fully suppress the other side. ”

"Initially, this kind of battle for the throne was normal in the imperial palace. Almost before every succession of new emperors, this kind of introduction would always happen. The Emperor always let that happen and did not mind it. However, no one had ever guessed that in order to suppress the stronghold of Third Prince Cang Shuo, First Prince Cang Lin had actually borrowed the strength of the Xiao Sect. To oppose that, Third Prince Cang Shuo also went and borrowed the power of the Burning Heaven Clan. ”

"Related . "Qin Wuyou let out a long sigh, and said:" The Xiao Sect Clan and Burning Heaven had secretly had ambitions all along, observing the privilege of being able to control the world. The Imperial Family had always been cautious when dealing with them, and the Imperial Family also had a good relationship with the Heavenly Sword Villa; with the Heavenly Sword Villa restricting them, the Imperial Family had also, The Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan did not really dare to seize the power of the Imperial Family either. However, they instantly snatched away and the Imperial Family voluntarily borrowed their influence were two completely different concepts. Lastly, they could let their influence slowly pierce through the Imperial Family bit by bit through Cang Lin or Cang Shuo. When the time comes, although the surname of the Imperial Family will remain Cang, the main force will be at the control of the Xiao Sect or the Burning Heaven Clan. Even the Heavenly Sword Villa would not be able to say anything. ”

'' If that was the case, then there was a higher possibility that the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan were the ones who took the initiative in luring Cang Lin and Cang Shuo. "Said Yun Che calmly.

"Religion . "Qin Wuyou nodded:" The Emperor was furious when he found out about this, but it was too late. Because at that moment, no matter Crown Prince Cang Lin or Third Prince Cang Shuo, their influence had already spread throughout the entire imperial palace; even if he was their father and emperor, their influence would have already spread throughout the entire imperial palace, he was already no longer able to forcefully influence them, not to mention that the Xiao Sect and the Burning Heaven Clan were also secretly helping them from their respective sides. That was to what extent, if the emperor did not have a deep-rooted core strength fragment, as well as the protection of the Heavenly Sword Villa, he said, Crown Prince Cang Lin and Third Prince Cang Shuo may have forced him off his throne long ago . ”

As he spoke to here, Qin Wuyou's face was filled with anger. After he calmed his mind, a sad expression appeared on his face: “Then these years, Crown Prince Cang Lin and Third Prince Cang Shuo became the main characters of the Imperial Family; yet the Emperor lay in the bedroom all year round, and was almost forgotten by the people. Of the Emperor's seven sons and one daughter, the only one left who actually cared for and accompanied him in the end, was his only daughter, who was also Princess Cang Yue. Sigh ... These three years, it was very difficult for him. Luckily she was only female, and had no powers and threats. Otherwise, he might have already received the Crown Prince and the Third Son's secret persecution, sighing. ”

"He wants to prevent the Crown Prince and the Third Prince from inviting wolves to the palace?" Yun Che said with a frown.

“Cang Yue Princess knows for herself that she cannot stop the ambitions of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince with her insignificant powers, and always accompanies the king. Two years ago, to satisfy the remorse of the remaining Emperor, he entered the Blue Wind Profound Palace with the identity of "Lan Xueruo". Departing after a month, he then left the Imperial City and moved to the entire Great Profound Palace Branch within the empire in search of someone to help his father, the Emperor, achieve his wish. ”

As he spoke to here, Qin Wuyou looked at Yun Che with a fixed gaze.

"So I'm the one he's looking for?" Yun Che spoke with an expressionless face: "What does his father want? Why was I chosen? Why does he think that I can help his father realize this desire? "

“Blue Wind Ranking Tournament. "Qin Wuyou cooly said four words.

These four words, shook Yun Che's heart all of a sudden. He said: "Maybe …"

"Huh ~~" Qin Wuyou sighed once more. After bringing up the "Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, his expression had also become extremely gloomy. He stood up, walked to the bamboo window with both hands behind his back, and spoke slowly: "Speaking about Blue Wind Profound Palace, he said, no one does not know that it was established by our Blue Wind Imperial Family. This was the largest Profound Palace in the entire Blue Wind Empire, and was the cultivation dream land of many young profound practitioners. However, the Sect was like a tree in the forest in the Blue Wind Empire, and there were countless powerful individuals. In the eyes of those great sects, our Blue Wind Profound Palace is nothing more than a joke. ”

“The Blue Wind Ranking Tournament was originally held once every ten years, then shortened to once every five years. One hundred years ago, it was shortened once again to be held once every three years. From the first Blue Wind Ranking Tournament until now, it had been held exactly ninety-nine times. The Imperial Blue Wind Family, as the political core of the nation, would naturally be invited at all times. However, after the entire ninety-nine tournaments, none of the Imperial Family had ever been able to enter the top hundred; no one had ever! What kind of jokes and insults are those. And when the current Emperor ascended the throne, his greatest wish was to see the Imperial Blue Wind Family squeeze into the hundred Great Blue Wind Ranking Tournaments during his reign … But after nearly twenty years since he ascended the throne, and had gone through the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament six times, this wish could never be realized. Now, his life was running out, and this had been a regret for his entire life. To help the Emperor realize this wish, Princess Cang Yue left the Imperial Family to look for a talented profound practitioner who could represent the Imperial Family and enter the top hundred rankings. After two years, he chose you. ”

"… So that's ... how it is. ”

He finally solved the puzzle of why Lan Xuerou was so good to him, willing to risk great danger to save him. After knowing the truth, she also could not really know how she felt in her heart.

"The Blue Wind Imperial Family had a special kind of Profound Art, called the 'Secret Art of the King's Heart'. Only those who had the Imperial bloodline who were also kind-hearted and pure in heart could cultivate it. Of the seven princes and one princess, Princess Cang Yue was the only one who managed to cultivate the 'King's Heart Secret Art'. With the 'Secret Art of the Monarchic Heart', one could peer into one's fate and luck to some extent. Princess Cang Yue might see incredible fate and luck on you using the 'King's Heart Secret Art'. That along with your shocking appearance at the New Moon Profound Palace, made him choose you without hesitation. ”

Yun Che: "…"

"Now, do you understand what I mean by 'belief'?" Qin Wuyou turned around, and said meaningfully.

“I basically understand. At the very least, I must represent the Blue Wind Imperial Family to participate in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament for him. "Yun Che had a dull expression on his face. It is unknown what he was thinking.

“No, anyway this, cannot be considered a punishment. After all, there were only successes and failures in participating in the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, and there was no connection with life and death. "Qin Wuyou continued:" Two years ago, finding the right person was only one of the reasons why Princess Cang Yue left the Imperial City. A more important reason is .. to escape from a scary person. ”

"Who?" Yun Che slightly raised his head.

"Fourth place in the previous Blue Wind Ranking Tournament—— Burning Heaven Clan Master, eldest son Fen Duanhun, who is also the Young Clan Master of the Burning Heaven Clan— Fen Juecheng!

Note: Three sons of Fen Duanhun: Fen Juecheng (absolute city, 22 years old), Fen Juebi (absolute wall, 19 years old), Yan Juechen (absolute dust, 17 years old, etc, rank 1 in Blue Wind Profound Palace).
