Inside the courtyard, a figure descended from the sky, it was Jiang Yuan dressed in a dragon robe, his hair disheveled, clearly having not had time to put on his crown. He stared intently at Jiang Changsheng's back, while Jiang Changsheng silently slipped the sword scabbard into his sleeve.

"Release her, if you're coming for me, I'm right here!"

Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice, his true qi surging, coalescing into a dragon shadow around him, a scene that Jiang Changsheng's divine sense captured, greatly astonishing him.

This special effect is so cool!

Most importantly, Jiang Yuan's true qi instantly increased dozens of times, already not inferior to the woman under his command.

Heavenly Connection!

This emperor hid himself so deeply, no wonder he could make the Martial Arts Supreme work for him.

Jiang Changsheng, with his back to Jiang Yuan, asked in a hoarse voice, "Emperor, what is the identity of the fake Crown Prince?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's face turned gloomy, his eyes flickering. In the darkness, his gaze was so dangerous, grim, and terrifying.

"How do you know about this? And who are you?"

Jiang Yuan said as he stepped forward.

The Cold Palace Woman gritted her teeth and said, "Don't come over, you are not his match!"

Jiang Yuan stopped, his brow furrowed, his gaze fixed on Jiang Changsheng, wanting to see through him. Jiang Changsheng was not carrying the Kirin Whisk, and the Taihang Sword was hidden in his wide sleeves. In the dim environment, he couldn't see through Jiang Changsheng's identity at all.

Many people came to his mind. He had too many enemies in his life, and there were experts stronger than him.

Jiang Changsheng still had his back to him, and said, "For a dignified emperor to actually orchestrate the scheme of replacing the Crown Prince, aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out? If the fake Crown Prince is of your own blood, that's one thing, but if he's not..."

These words were full of mockery, but Jiang Yuan was not angered.

Jiang Yuan asked, "What do you seek, sir? Since you want to ask, it means you are not here for me. Could it be that you know my eldest son?"

Jiang Changsheng said playfully, "Of course I know your eldest son. If he knew that you abandoned him in a Taoist temple to be a little Taoist priest without parents, what would he think?"

Jiang Yuan was silent.

"What Taoist temple?" the Cold Palace Woman asked.

Jiang Changsheng said meaningfully, "How many Taoist temples are there in Jing City?"

As soon as these words came out, the Cold Palace Woman glared at Jiang Yuan, and said coldly, "So you, Emperor Jiang, have been playing me for so many years?"

Jiang Yuan's face was extremely unsightly, while Jiang Changsheng was a little surprised. Listening to these words, there was obviously another hidden story.

Jiang Changsheng still wanted to ask, but Jiang Yuan suddenly attacked, striking out with his right palm, the dragon shadow around him following, carrying a fierce palm wind towards Jiang Changsheng, the palace gate directly exploding, turning into countless wood chips.

"Hmph! Presumptuous!"

Jiang Changsheng snorted coldly, gently patting backwards with his left hand, spiritual power scattering out, easily dispelling the dragon shadow, the true qi shaking all the tables and chairs in the palace apart.

What domineering power!

After striking with his palm, he actually became several times stronger, can this imperial father enhance himself in multiple stages?

Truly remarkable!

Jiang Changsheng sighed inwardly, while Jiang Yuan was even more horrified.

"How is it possible... to dissolve my True Dragon Qi so easily... Just who is he?"

Jiang Yuan had not felt such pressure in a long time, not since before he became emperor.

There is actually such an expert in the world!

Jiang Yuan instantly thought of many possibilities, even guessing that this person was the one who taught Jiang Changsheng martial arts.

Could he be here to support Changsheng?

No!

Why would he take Changsheng as a disciple, why would he support him, and how would he know the truth?

Jiang Yuan's heart was filled with apprehension, feeling that the other party must be an enemy.

He simply could not imagine that the other party would be Jiang Changsheng, because Jiang Changsheng was taken away right after birth, it was impossible for him to know his own background, let alone orchestrate all of this.

There must be an enemy plotting in the shadows!

"Emperor, are you still unwilling to speak?"

Jiang Changsheng reached out and grabbed the Cold Palace Woman's neck, lifting her up as he said sinisterly, "A Heavenly Connection Realm expert actually being cast into the Cold Palace by you, it's a bit laughable."

Jiang Yuan's expression changed drastically, knowing that he was no match for the other party, he took a deep breath and said, "I'll tell you, the fake Crown Prince is not my biological son, he is just a pawn, a pawn destined to be discarded. If you are here to seek justice for the real Crown Prince, rest assured, he will die sooner or later."

"As for my reputation, this matter will not be spread. I will have the Yang Family personally eliminate him, and then find an excuse. The Crown Prince's death will only be a regret in history."

Jiang Changsheng asked, "Why use a pawn to replace the real Crown Prince?"

Jiang Yuan sighed and said, "Because he cannot become the Crown Prince, because the throne is already destined, but the Yang Family cannot see through it. I sent him out to protect him. If he were born in the palace, he would surely die."

Just then, he heard a large number of footsteps approaching, it was the Imperial Guards of the palace, specially stationed behind the palace, and the martial arts experts had already arrived first.

The matter must not be blown out of proportion.

Otherwise, it would disturb his cultivation later.

Jiang Changsheng said, "Who would harm him? Tell me their names. Since you want to protect him, then we have the same idea."

Jiang Yuan's eyes were deep as he said, "The Great Vehicle Dragon Tower."

The Great Vehicle Dragon Tower?

Jiang Changsheng had never heard of this name. Now that he had the answer, it was time to leave, he could always come back later.

He released his hand, put down the Cold Palace Woman, and with a leap, he directly crashed through the eaves of the Cold Palace, disappearing into the night, without a trace.

Jiang Yuan immediately ran over to help the Cold Palace Woman.

The Cold Palace Woman pushed him away, her eyes cold, and said, "Jiang Yuan, you have deceived me too much. I allowed you to give the position of Empress to her, allowed her to give birth to Jiang Yu, but you deceived me! Tomorrow, I will go and kill that little beast!"

Jiang Yuan stood up, looked down at her, his eyes extremely indifferent, and said, "Can you beat that person just now?"

The Cold Palace Woman was silent.

Jiang Yuan said coldly, "What I promised you, I will fulfill, but even a tiger does not eat its cubs. He has already become a mortal, unaware of his own background, why bother entangling him? If you want to mess around, the throne will not be so certain. In recent years, I have discovered that my sons all have the talent of the True Dragon. You should consider it carefully. The world has changed, you are no longer a princess of the Chu Dynasty, do not be willful anymore!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan turned and left, a large number of Imperial Guards following behind.

Jiang Yuan's voice came from outside the hall: "Tonight's events must not be spread. Whoever dares to speak of it will be beheaded!"

The Cold Palace Woman inside the hall collapsed to the ground, she laughed, her laughter filled with sorrow: "How ridiculous, how truly ridiculous I am..."

Jiang Yuan under the moonlight fully displayed his dragon might, while she in the darkness was like a vengeful ghost, staring blankly at him, as if separated by two lifetimes.

Returning to the Dragon Arising Temple, Jiang Changsheng did not disturb Jian Xin Hua, quietly entering his room.

He changed back into his Daoist robe, his gains tonight were great.

First, he confirmed that the Heavenly Connection expert was no match for him.

Second, he confirmed the real reason he was switched, the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower.

Judging from Qingxu Taoist Priest's words, he and Jiang Yuan must have colluded. Although Jiang Changsheng was switched, no one dared to blatantly kill him within the Dragon Arising Temple, showing that Jiang Yuan still wanted to protect him.

Of course, while Jiang Yuan had a protective heart, he also had the intention of suppressing the Yang Family. The heart of an emperor is difficult to fathom.

Perhaps the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower was also a target Jiang Yuan wanted to suppress, so he informed Jiang Changsheng, wanting to use a knife to kill.

Jiang Changsheng was not angry, anyway, his goal was to cultivate to become an immortal. If the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower wanted to kill him, they would send people sooner or later, and he could also gain survival rewards.

This time, his action did not trigger a survival reward, indicating that the fight was not a tribulation, it had to be something he was forced to accept.

"A predetermined throne? Hmph, since you, Jiang Yuan, are not willing, then I will snatch it even more."

The corners of Jiang Changsheng's mouth rose. The family affection in this life was very thin. After all, he had memories from his previous life. Although he wanted to cultivate steadily in this life, he did not want to live a life of compromising.

What I fear is that there are stronger people in this vast world, not that I fear everyone!

This time, not using the Illusory God Eyes was also to give Jiang Yuan a warning. He had already planned when to use the Illusory God Eyes.

Jiang Changsheng was in a good mood, mainly because he confirmed that no one in Jing City could threaten him.

The next day, Jian Xin Hua discovered that Jiang Changsheng seemed to be in a very good mood, and even personally guided her in her practice.

Jiang Changsheng was, after all, a cultivator, and his cultivation techniques were more profound than her martial arts techniques. A few pointers were enough for her to benefit greatly. Internal skills all had common ground, only the cultivation systems were different.

The events of the palace last night did not spread, and the Dragon Arising Temple was still lively, with a constant stream of pilgrims.

Meng Qiushuang came to Jiang Changsheng several times, but some dignitaries were too high in status for her to refuse politely. Jiang Changsheng thought about it and asked White Dragon to meet them.

White Dragon could also get a Spirit Enhancing Pill every month. After all, it was the one who experimented with the pill, and Jiang Changsheng did not mistreat it. Its intelligence was also steadily improving, and it could now understand some simple human language. Occasionally, it would tease Jian Xin Hua, and watching Jian Xin Hua's nervous appearance, it would often happily sway its snake head.

Meng Qiushuang looked at White Dragon, feeling absurd, but White Dragon raised its snake body and nodded at her, her worldview almost shattered.

"It..."

Meng Qiushuang knew that White Dragon understood human nature, but nodding was too outrageous.

Jiang Changsheng nodded with a smile, and Meng Qiushuang could only suppress her shock and take White Dragon away.

After Meng Qiushuang left, Jian Xin Hua walked out of the room, clicking her tongue in wonder and said: "Daoist Priest, your snake will become a demon sooner or later."

White Dragon was cute in Jiang Changsheng's eyes, but in her eyes, it was a terrifying thing, the more refined it was, the more terrifying.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said: "That's great, it can talk to us in the future."

Hua Jian Xin felt a chill run down her spine.

Hua Jian Xin changed the subject and asked, "Taoist Priest, you cultivate all day long, with a pure heart and few desires, and you don't see anyone. Your martial arts are clearly unfathomable, and you're very young. What exactly are you pursuing?"

She had heard the legendary story of the Changsheng Taoist killing the Ghost Eye Evil King at the age of fourteen. Later, she heard Meng Qiushuang call Jiang Changsheng her junior brother, which meant that Jiang Changsheng was not old. So young, yet without desires or wants, it was really hard to understand.

Even the ethereal immortals should have their own pursuits.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "Pursuits, naturally, are to comprehend the Dao and live longer."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Hua Jian Xin couldn't help but bravely ask, "That's a long-term goal. What's your recent goal?"

Jiang Changsheng looked at the distant blue sky and said leisurely, "Recent goal? There really is one. I want a son."

Hua Jian Xin was stunned, thinking she had misheard. She stared at Jiang Changsheng's handsome profile, her ears starting to turn red, and her heart beating faster.

Jiang Changsheng's attention was drawn to outside the city. Dragon Arising Temple was located on the edge of Jing City, with the urban area on one side and the city walls on the other, beyond which were continuous rolling wilderness.

Outside the city, an army was approaching.

Thanks to Xu Qingyi for the 5000 starting coins reward, light tea for the 4500 starting coins reward, beautiful Di Yan for the 2500 starting coins reward, and so on!

Seeing that everyone wants to talk but has no place to go, I created a group. You can enter directly by clicking on the bottom of the introduction page, or you can search for the group number: 837036519
