Super Quest (Part One)

The meaning of King Fenghe is very simple: you are currently wanted by the emperor. I should have captured you and presented you to the emperor, but considering our friendship over the years, I will pretend I never met you today and let you go.

"Your Highness is truly a man of great loyalty and righteousness," Eunuch Lin exclaimed, having understood what King Fenghe, Li Chang, meant. Then, he changed the subject, "However, I am not here today simply to seek Your Highness's protection. I have two startling pieces of news to inform Your Highness."

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, King Fenghe Li Chang showed a hint of curiosity on his face, but his tone remained indifferent as he said, "Oh? What news is it? Please speak freely."

"I know Your Highness may suspect that I would lie to you, but I swear on my Dao Heart that everything I say from now on is true, and I would never dare to conceal anything..."

Although King Fenghe was curious, he remained calm. Eunuch Lin could guess what King Fenghe was thinking, so before revealing the news, he solemnly swore an oath.

"There's no need for that, sir. Just say what you need to say." Seeing that Eunuch Lin had actually sworn an oath with his Dao Heart, King Fenghe's expression became much more serious, and the wariness and suspicion in his eyes eased considerably.

Eunuch Lin also Void Returning Stage cultivators. He swore an oath with his Dao Heart, which is impossible to break. Otherwise, his Dao Heart would be damaged, and he would most likely perish at the hands of his Heart Demon in the future.

"First, I'd like to ask Your Highness, what National Treasure does Your Majesty Imperial Clan claim I attempted to steal? What treasures does the imperial family possess that I would covet? I entered the Imperial Palace at a young age and have lived there for over two hundred years. The Imperial Clan is like my home. If I stole National Treasure, would I leave the Great Tang Dynasty to live?" Eunuch Lin still didn't get to the point, but his words achieved his goal.

With a thoughtful expression, King Fenghe nodded in agreement. Indeed, as Eunuch Lin said, having grown up in the Imperial Clan since childhood and even pushed his cultivation to the Void Returning Stage, the Imperial Clan was like Eunuch Lin's own home. Would he really abandon his home for a so-called National Treasure?

Zhuge Xiang did not shy away from the question; upon hearing Eunuch Lin's words, he nodded in silent agreement.

Although Zhuge Xiang and Eunuch Lin weren't close, Zhuge Xiang could see Eunuch Lin's deep affection for the Great Tang Imperial Family and his unwavering commitment to the Imperial Clan interests. How could he possibly betray the Imperial Clan for a so-called National Treasure?

"If that's the case, then what exactly happened? Why would His Your Majesty issue a warrant for your arrest for such a reason?" If Eunuch Lin's words make sense, then why would the Emperor issue a warrant for his arrest? King Fenghe's expression grew much more somber.

What exactly caused the Emperor and Eunuch Lin to turn against each other? King Fenghe keenly sensed something unusual about the situation.

"This all stems from two pieces of information I know. First, I suspect that the current Your Majesty is not the real Your Majesty, but someone else entirely..."

When Eunuch Lin spoke, his words were like a bolt from the blue. Not only King Fenghe, but also Li Zhi, Mo Lingna, Wu Zhao, and Zhuge Xiang were stunned.

"Your Majesty, it's not Your Majesty? It's someone else? I wonder where you learned of this, Eunuch?" King Fenghe asked Eunuch Li in a deep voice, his face ashen.

This matter is not to be underestimated. If the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty State Altars been replaced, it would be a terrifying Truth that would plunge the country into turmoil, a fact that would shock and terrify anyone who heard it.

Although the Great Tang Dynasty's National Fortune had been declining over the years, it was still a large country. But how could the Imperial Capital have been replaced? This news would surely shock and terrify anyone who heard it. No wonder King Fenghe's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.

"Oh? Is that so?" However, compared to the shock and disbelief of King Fenghe and the others, Zhuge Xiang's heart stirred slightly.

Why did Zhuge Xiang come to the Great Tang Dynasty? It was for Bai Qi's mission: to investigate how the Great Qin Empire had stolen the Great Tang Dynasty's National Fortune. However, after being in the Great Tang Dynasty for so long, Zhuge Xiang had not found a single clue.

But now, hearing Eunuch Lin's words—that even the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty could be replaced— Zhuge Xiang has seized upon this clue. Could it be that the Great Qin Empire's method of stealing the National Fortune lies here?

"At the time, I overheard that Your Majesty addressed Your Highness by your name, and a mysterious voice reprimanded him, telling him to be mindful of his status. His status is that of the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty. So, the implication is that the current emperor is not actually our Your Majesty?" Eunuch Lin's face was also very ugly as he recounted what he had overheard to King Fenghe and the others.

It's no wonder Eunuch Lin's face was so grim. Having spent over two hundred years in the Imperial Palace, he thought he knew the emperor's every word and action inside and out. But now, His Your Majesty had been replaced! And when exactly did this happen? He had no idea. If he hadn't happened to overhear their conversation, he might have been kept in the dark his whole life. This feeling made Eunuch Lin's face extremely unpleasant.

"Within the dynasty, who can rebuke His Your Majesty? Who has such a right? If what you say is true, Eunuch Lin, His Your Majesty may have truly been replaced long ago, or at the very least, be controlled by others..."

King Fenghe, his face grim, made a pronouncement: whether the emperor had been switched or was being controlled by others, it was a terrible blow to the Great Tang Dynasty.

"Then what is Eunuch Lin's second piece of news?" The first piece of news shocked Zhuge Xiang, and at the same time, it gave him the first important clue to his arrival in the Great Tang Dynasty. So, before King Fenghe could ask, Zhuge Xiang asked.

Looking at Zhuge Xiang with some surprise, not understanding why he was so concerned about this matter, but if he could bring Zhuge Xiang to his side, he would be a very good ally. So, Eunuch Lin did not waste any time and directly told him the second piece of news.

"Furthermore, the second piece of news is that His Your Majesty is preparing to deal with you, Your Highness. The Invitation you sent out made everyone aware of the marriage between the Young Prince and Offering Wu Zhao. Your Majesty has his eye on the National Destiny Offering Wu Zhao, and he will never allow this destiny to fall into the hands of others. Moreover, in His Your Majesty's mind, Your National Destiny would threaten his Imperial Throne..."

The second piece of news from Eunuch Lin made King Fenghe's expression even more unpleasant. (To be continued...)
