The Carefree King Rebels, Song Huai Has Grown Old
Inside the imperial palace.
After the birthday ceremony.
The court officials and guests all left the palace.
However, some members of the royal family were left in the palace to stroll in the garden with Zhao Jin.
Among them was the Carefree King.
As the nominal commander of the Golden Feather Guard, Chen Ning naturally followed Zhao Jin.
"Brother, do you remember what Mother said before she passed away?"
While enjoying the scenery, the Carefree King suddenly asked a question.
Zhao Jin remained calm and said, "Of course I remember. Mother Empress instructed my brother and me never to fight each other."
The Carefree King laughed and said, "Yes, Mother once said that we shouldn't fight to the death for the throne, and you, my brother, have also said that you have no interest in the throne."
"I did say that."
"But in the end, you still became the ruler of this world."
"That was the late emperor's wish. I declined, hoping that the late emperor would pass the throne to you."
"If you truly didn't want this position, could the late emperor have forced you to? Yet you accepted it anyway."
A hint of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the Carefree King.
Zhao Jin calmly looked at the Carefree King and said, "Back then, it wasn't just the two of us brothers vying for the throne. There were many others. Did you ever consider that if they had obtained the throne, would the two of us brothers have even survived?"
The brothers Zhao Jin and Zhao Yang were the most outstanding among all the princes at the time.
Especially the Carefree King Zhao Yang, whose cultivation level far surpasses that of the other princes.
Only.
Among the princes at that time, some had the support of many powerful figures and wielded immense influence. The late emperor had just quelled the chaos in the Azure Heaven Realm, a time when undercurrents were surging.
Many of those powerful figures wielded enough influence to affect the will of the royal family.
If another prince were to seize the throne, he would certainly not let these two brothers go.
"Brother, don't you also want to get rid of me?"
The Carefree King spoke coldly.
Zhao Jin's face darkened, and he said, "You must have drunk too much today. Go back immediately! Men! Escort the Carefree King back!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, palace attendants stepped forward, one on each side.
The Carefree King bypassed the two attendants, approached Zhao Jin, and sneered, "Brother, I have never been as clear-headed as I am today."
"Carefree King, what are you trying to do?"
Zhao Yinyin frowned slightly and gave a reprimand.
Among the crowd strolling in the park, a member of the imperial family pointed at the Carefree King and said, "Do not be so presumptuous before His Majesty."
Zhao Jin raised his hand to stop the man from speaking further. Then, he calmly looked at the Carefree King and said in a deep voice, "After all these years, you still can't let go? You still refuse to believe me?"
Immediately.
Zhao Jin lowered his voice again and said:
"If you leave today, I can pretend nothing happened, including the chaos in the city; it has nothing to do with you."
Upon hearing this...
The Carefree King's expression changed slightly.
"So, my brother knew everything."
The Carefree King laughed heartily, "Since that's the case, why bother with the pretense? You've kept me here until now only because you're wary of my Celestial Person Realm, aren't you?"
"Our mother doesn't want us brothers to end up like this."
Zhao Jin took a deep breath and said.
The Carefree King, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, after I have slain the Celestial Person Song Huai, I will spare your life."
That's all I have to say.
There was no turning back.
There's no need to waste any more words.
The Carefree King grabbed Zhao Jin with his large hand, and the Golden Feather Guard immediately surged in from all directions.
"How dare you! So incredibly bold!"
Many of the dignitaries who had been strolling in the garden with him had also sobered up somewhat, and looked at the Carefree King had suddenly made his move with alarm.
"Release my father!"
Zhao Yinyin drew her sword and glared angrily at the Carefree King.
Chen Ning wasn't in a hurry. First, the Carefree King had just said he wouldn't kill Zhao Jin. Second, it was up to the Celestial Person deal with them.
Everything else is a gift.
Really.
A figure suddenly darted in.
He slammed his palm down in mid-air.
The Carefree King's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to unleash a palm strike to collide with the attack.
Boom!
After an earthquake.
The Carefree King looked at the figure not far away and laughed, "Song Huai, you've gotten old..."
The person opposite.
It was none other than the Celestial Person Song Huai.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Though I am old, I can still safeguard the foundation of the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty and prevent it from being taken away by someone with such wolfish ambitions as you."
"Hahaha... In that case, please enlighten me, Senior Song!"
With one hand holding Zhao Jin, the Carefree King fought Song Huai with only the other. After several rounds...
Song Huai then suffered from Qi and Blood deficiency, and subsequently lacked strength.
"Senior Song, judging from your condition, you will likely die of exhaustion in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
The Carefree King smiled faintly.
Song Huai, on the other side, was somewhat disheveled at the moment, but he was also quite amazed. The Carefree King was indeed Qi and Blood and his cultivation was stable, showing a strong potential to surpass him.
Song Huai has truly grown old.
His Qi and Blood were depleted, and just as the other party had said, he couldn't hold on for much longer.
He underestimated the strength of the Carefree King.
A moment later.
Song Huai unleashed his full Qi and Blood and lunged fiercely at the Carefree King.
Boom!
Song Huai was once again sent flying by the Carefree King, and countless bones in his body were broken.
The Carefree King chuckled, then looked at Zhao Jin and said, "Brother, since you know that those unusual events in the capital are related to me, don't you think it's time to make a scene...?"
