Legend of the Ruler Sword
59. I'm Willing to Seize the Throne.

"I found the place of one of the demon gods." Yuan's remark made the three people in front of him have shocked expressions.

Xiyi even went gaping, she had indeed found out what was happening in the village, seeing a group of people standing motionless. Xiyi had already tried asking, but whatever the question was was not answered. While the grandmothers who can still walk, once asked instead told her to go and act like people whose minds are disturbed.

"Where's Yuan?" ask master Gao.

"In the western part of the village at the foot of Tianji mountain, an old well became the entrance of the place. But the demon god deliberately spread concentrated energy so that anyone who entered his spiritual energy weakened, so we cannot attack inside his base."

"You still can't attack him, you need one more level to be able to fuse forces with the zhenxin sword."

Uniting power with a zhenxin sword requires balance, as the sword is extremely powerful it must have a high cultivation level as well in order to fuse. If not, you lose and end up hurting yourself.

It was not even necessary in terms of uniting, if it used the devastating power of the zhenxin sword then it would injure itself. For example, when Yuan fought the demon tribe, because he was reckless to use the great power of the zhenxin sword while he could not keep up, he had to sacrifice the golden elixir that he had been struggling to learn.

"True Master, but it seems that there is now something more crucial to overcome first."

"What's that?"

"The crown prince has a relationship with a demon god, fearing that if he were to lead the empire there would be something undesirable."

"You're sure it's the crown prince?" ask Xiyi.

"Right, Yuan and I found a box with black energy in Qiu Yue's room." Bai An explained.

Yuan stared at Bai An, "You must seize the throne!"

Bai An did not reply and instead sunk into his mind, all this time he wanted to live freely and regardless of anything. Returning to the imperial palace had never occurred to him in the slightest thought, that place was all the source of his injuries. Where the gaping wound in his heart was carved there by a person who had a blood relationship with him.

Seizing the throne meant that he had to go back there again and fight for a dispute with Qiu Yue. Of course after that there is no such thing as a quiet life, if successful then he will become an emperor and take care of the empire and if it fails of course he will only stay a name.

Not that it was afraid of death but Bai An had absolutely no interest in sitting on the imperial seat, absolutely nothing.

"I can't!"

"For the peace of the Han empire, for now only you can do it."

Bai An kept on shaking his head, "Just kill Qie Yue, there's no need for me to be the one fighting for the throne."

Qiu Yue was now a crown prince, going into the palace to kill him was certainly impossible.

"I don't want to enter the imperial palace, let alone fight for the throne!"

"Look at the people of the empire, right now their fate is in your hands. With the ruthless leadership of Qiu Yue they would suffer, and all this time Qiu Yue had already made quite a strange rule which was very troubling." this time master Gao coaxed in.

As long as the emperor was sick and could not rule, Qiu Yue as the crown prince represented him. There have been many changes in his government, such as the abolition of the charitable division every good day. Raise tribute to land and taxes.

Not only that, those who could not afford to pay had to let one of his family members be brought to the empire to become a servant. But instead of being made servants Qiu Yue offered them as a sacrifice for the demon god, certainly without anyone's knowledge.

But for Bai An himself, returning to that painful place was a nightmare. He will think back to the thing that hurt him, all this time he has desperately tried to forget all that but if now back there again it feels very reluctant.

"You are the rightful heir to be born of the emperor and empress, even if you ever leave the imperial palace, but if you return then there will still be many people who will support you."

From childhood even though Bai An could not cultivate to the maximum but there were still many people who supported him. An emperor should at least reach level 10 or the emperor level, but Bai An's father was afraid that Bai An would not be able to rise to that level, so he tortured his son to drink many potions that healed his meridians.

When he first exited the imperial palace, Bai An was at the 5th level, but now thanks to his hard training he was already at the 10th level of the first stage. It was a considerable increase, considering that while in college Bai An did not care about his cultivation, only after being with this Gao master Bai An began to train again his cultivation.

"Bai An think about the peace of the people."

Bai An sighed deeply, right now his mind was indeed raging but there was something that was indeed more important, "I can't forever think of my injuries, maybe I should indeed advance for the empire."

Master Gao and Yuan smiled, finally Bai An was willing. Actually the emperor's throne was indeed for Bai An, it was his right.
