Xianyang Palace, Inner Hall!

The First Emperor of Qin, who should have been working on memorials day and night, suddenly opened his eyes, filled with surprise.

Ever since he obtained the chat group, he had learned of his Qin State's future fate from Ye Fan, Yue Buqun, and others.

Destroyed in the second generation!

Upon learning this news, his heart was filled with nothing but anger.

He would never allow his Great Qin to suffer such an end.

Hu Hai murdered his brothers?

He would imprison him in the Imperial Clan Court for life!

Director of the Central Chariot Bureau Zhao Gao framed others with false accusations?

Then he would be killed!

Li Si altered the imperial edict?

Killed!

Even though these things had not yet happened, he had already acted.

He would not allow anyone to endanger Great Qin.

But after doing all this, a sense of powerlessness lingered in his heart.

Great Qin had no successor!

He had originally placed great hope in Fusu, but upon learning that the latter was forced to commit suicide by a mere decree.

His heart was filled with disappointment.

What would happen to Great Qin after his death?

"Heavenly Emperor... perhaps he can truly grant me longevity!"

Ying Zheng's heart burned with passion. Even though he had long mastered the art of concealing his emotions, his heart still trembled.

"If I can achieve longevity, then Great Qin will prosper forever!"

At this thought, Ying Zheng could no longer suppress his impulse. The Heavenly Emperor Visualization Diagram appeared in his mind. He offered no resistance and began to cultivate according to the subtle guidance.

Tonight, Ying Zheng was not the only one in Xianyang City who could not sleep. The entire Imperial City was filled with undercurrents and hidden dangers!

A prince imprisoned, the Director of the Central Chariot Bureau Zhao Gao and the Great Qin Prime Minister Li Si killed.

Any one of these events was enough to shake the court of Great Qin.

If the order had not come from Ying Zheng himself, the entire Great Qin might have erupted into chaos.

But even so, crisis had quietly arrived.

South of Xianyang City, in a dilapidated, uninhabited house, several people gathered.

"Ying Zheng levied heavy taxes and ruled tyrannically. To execute Li Si and others is truly a sign that Heaven intends to destroy his tyrannical Qin!"

"Indeed, as the saying goes, even a tiger does not eat its cubs. Such actions warrant us taking revenge for the destruction of our states!"

"Now that Xianyang is in turmoil and everyone is terrified, it is the perfect time to assassinate him. I presume you all have the same intention!"

The remnants of the nobles from the Six States were gathered here, plotting a world-shattering event.

"I have already contacted people from the Net of Luo. With their cooperation, we will surely take Ying Zheng's dog life this time!"

A person who appeared to be the leader delivered more good news.

Upon hearing this, everyone became even more excited.

Ever since their former states were destroyed by the Qin State, they had lived like stray dogs, hiding and constantly in fear.

They had not considered assassinating Ying Zheng before.

But every assassin they sent out was discovered by the imperial guards in Xianyang Palace. They failed even before they could see Ying Zheng, let alone succeed.

However, this time, with the help of the Net of Luo, it was different.

The Net of Luo was originally an organization responsible for gathering information under Zhao Gao's command. With their help, avoiding the imperial guards' routes would be as easy as pie.

With no imperial guards to obstruct them, Ying Zheng would surely die this time.

"Hahaha, it seems we must thank Ying Zheng for this great gift!"

"If that is the case, then let us not hold back. Mobilize all your forces to assassinate Ying Zheng. Once Ying Zheng is dead, our hopes of restoring our states will be within reach!"

This statement drew applause from the crowd.

Moonlight shone through the dilapidated roof onto an aged face.

"When midnight strikes, it will be the time of Ying Zheng's death!"

Grand Tutor's Mansion!

Moon Goddess walked towards the depths of the mansion as if she were familiar with the place.

"Lord Donghuang, the remnants of the Six States are plotting to assassinate His Majesty. How should we proceed?"

She held a secret letter in her hands and slowly bowed, her graceful figure appearing even more alluring.

"Lord Donghuang?"

After a long silence without a response, Moon Goddess inquired with a hint of surprise.

Just as she looked up, the figure in the black robe before her suddenly trembled all over, then stumbled back several steps, coughing up fresh blood continuously, which was quite alarming.

"This is bad!"

Moon Goddess's face changed drastically, and she immediately wanted to step forward to support Donghuang Taiyi.

"No need!"

Donghuang Taiyi weakly waved his hand, then stared blankly at the star chart above.

"Just now, the Ziwei Star shone brightly, like the sun at noon. Tanlang, Pojun, Qisha, and other stars have all dimmed to nothing. Great Qin's National Fortune has changed; this is an omen of myriad prosperity!"

"Moon Goddess, hurry to the palace and see the Emperor. I need to know the reason for this change in the celestial phenomena!"

In the past, Donghuang Taiyi always appeared mysterious and in control of everything. This was the first time Moon Goddess had sensed bewilderment and a hint of fear from him!

One must know that Donghuang Taiyi is the master of the Yin-Yang School, and there are very few in this world who can harm him, perhaps even none, making him virtually invincible.

What exactly happened just now that made even him feel fear?

"I'm going to the palace now!"

Moon Goddess dared not delay. She forgot all about the assassination and hurried towards Xianyang Palace.

Xianyang Palace!

In the grand hall, Ying Zheng was already in deep cultivation, Immortal Qi swirling around him, his origin continuously strengthening, as if undergoing a world-shattering transformation.

As time passed, Ying Zheng's appearance changed drastically.

His once white hair turned jet black, his skin became firm, and he was filled with vitality.

While he was undergoing this transformation, a group of black-clad death warriors armed with weapons arrived outside the palace.

Xianyang Palace was already engulfed in flames, with shouts of killing everywhere.

The remnants of the Six States mobilized all their forces to keep the Imperial Guards occupied outside, then sent skilled assassins to the palace to assassinate Ying Zheng.

The Net of Luo also played a crucial role, preventing the Imperial Guards from disengaging for a moment.

"I thought it would be dangerous, but I didn't expect us to get in so easily!"

Upon entering the palace, one person said disdainfully.

"Don't let your guard down. Ying Zheng is incredibly cunning; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived assassination attempts for so long!"

"Everyone, look quickly, that's Ying Zheng!"

Someone's eyes lit up, and they excitedly pointed at the man sitting cross-legged above the palace.

"Why isn't he moving? What is that white mist around him? Could it be some kind of trap?"

At this final step, they became somewhat hesitant.

"Get out of the way, you cowards! I will avenge the destruction of my country and family today!"

A burly man, two meters tall, carrying a war drum hammer, strode forward. He looked at the white mist surrounding Ying Zheng and snorted coldly.

"Putting on a show, die!"

He raised the war drum hammer, weighing several hundred pounds, and swung it towards Ying Zheng's head.

"Boom!"

Golden light emanated from Ying Zheng's body, and a majestic, domineering Dragon's Roar sounded from within him, shaking heaven and earth!

Then, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon burst forth from the palace, illuminating the entire Xianyang as if it were daytime. Both the Imperial Guards and the citizens in the city instinctively looked up at the sky.

A golden dragon, hundreds of feet in size, soared above Xianyang Palace, its dragon roar echoing to the heavens!
