The deposed crown prince presented the emperor with a method for refining salt, which greatly pleased the emperor.
Ling Yi had been observing Wu Canglan's Changes expressions and realized that his joy was genuine.
Ling Yi guessed that the current Wu Canglan should be Wu Canglan.
Or rather, it was Wu Canglan who took the lead.
So, this Si Ming is just an unlucky guy, becoming Wu Canglan's tool?
But why, with his current cultivation level, which clearly makes him invincible in the Seven Kingdoms, does Wu Canglan still feign such a sickly appearance?
What is there to be truly afraid of?
Or is there another plan?
"Your Highness, you have contributed the method of refining salt, a great Jiang Shan nation. Speak, what reward do you desire? As long as it is not excessive, I will grant it."
Wu Canglan said with a smile.
No one understood the benefits of the refined salt production method to the Wu Kingdom better than the emperor himself.
It can be said that this is something that can National Fortune.
"Your Majesty, I wish to revoke my status as Crown Prince and request that I be granted a title of Prince outside the capital."
Upon hearing this, Wu Canglan's face immediately turned ugly.
Pointing at Wu Chengyun, he cursed, "You scoundrel, what do you take the Crown Prince for? You think you can just take him or not as you please?"
"You still want to be enfeoffed as a king outside the capital? What, the imperial city can't contain you anymore, and the capital isn't enough for you to cause trouble?"
"And look at you, you have neither cultivation nor skill. If you were to be made a king, you'd probably die out there."
"Let's not bring this up again. Let's make another request."
"Father, I am not cut out to be the crown prince. Ask any of them, which one of them recognizes me as the crown prince?" Wu Chengyun pointed around.
Finally, his finger touched the Second Prince Wu Chengtian.
"Your subject has no great ambitions; I only wish to live a life of idleness and complacency, a good-for-nothing playboy."
"Father, you should remove me from the position of Crown Prince as soon as possible and appoint a new one. That would save my good brothers from keeping an eye on me every day."
Wu Chengyun's words were quite straightforward.
The other princes didn't have very good-looking faces.
"Don't you know how you got the title of deposed crown prince? If you hadn't committed such a treasonous act, how could this have happened?"
The treasonous act Wu Canglan spoke of was the incident a few years ago when Wu Chengyun almost defiled Consort Yun.
Consort Yun was a concubine in the imperial harem.
She was not favored; in fact, after arriving at the palace, she was never favored by the emperor even once.
Because when Consort Yun entered the palace, it was precisely at a time when Wu Canglan disregarded the court and was obsessed with cultivating immortality.
In his pursuit of immortality, he even neglected the affairs of the Wu Kingdom's court. How could he possibly care about a mere concubine?
However, Ling Yi had many doubts in his mind at this moment.
Logically speaking, Wu Canglan, who is focused on cultivating immortality and neglects state affairs, should not be so concerned about the Crown Prince's affairs.
But Wu Canglan's current behavior hardly suggests he's neglecting state affairs.
He clearly seemed very concerned and attentive.
At this moment, Ling Yi was filled with curiosity about Wu Canglan.
It seems we'll have to have Qianxue or Wei Xu arrange for a Shadow Puppet to keep an eye on Wu Canglan.
I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious.
As for whether Wu Canglan will discover the Shadow Puppet?
So what if they found it!
If they don't notice, they'll keep a close watch.
Once discovered, they openly began to watch.
Whether it's Qianxue or Wei Xu, they have both now embarked on the Immortal Dao.
His cultivation speed was not much slower than Ling Yi's.
The Shadow Puppet's strength is comparable to that of the main body.
Even if Wu Canglan Wu Canglan it, he could only stare helplessly.
What can Wu Canglan do against an unkillable and elusive Shadow Puppet?
"Father, I don't believe what Consort Yun is saying. You don't know the intrigues and schemes involved." Wu Chengyun's voice pulled Ling Yi back to reality.
"Where's the evidence?" Wu Canglan asked, shrugging.
"Leaving aside Consort Yun's matter, let's talk about your usual behavior. Do you even know which direction the gates of the Imperial Academy face?"
"You, a dignified crown prince, spend Half Moon in brothels. What will others think of you? Wasn't it all your doing to depose the crown prince? It's utterly shameful!" Wu Canglan roared.
"Therefore, they directly stripped me of my status as crown prince, sent me out to be granted the title of king, and left me in the capital to embarrass you."
"No."
"Father..."
"Shut up! Get out of the palace right now!" Wu Canglan said, pointing to the doorway.
Wu Chengyun sighed, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He knew that things were hopeless today.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave." Wu Chengyun bowed to Qin Ru and turned to leave.
Qin Ru simply nodded, without saying a word.
Instead, he gave Wu Canglan a complicated look.
This commotion naturally ruined the originally lively atmosphere.
Wu Canglan clutched his chest, coughed a few times, and his face grew even paler.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Canglan's face showed even more pain.
However, the description above Wu Canglan's head Changes at that moment.
[ Si Ming ( Wu Canglan ), Body Tempering Ninth Layer, First Pin Grandmaster, Twelfth Layer of Qi Refining, Talents: Dragon Vein Divine Body (can Copy 200 taels of silver), Karmic Luck Body (cooldown), Power of Reincarnation (cooldown!)]
It seems that the one who just took control of the body was indeed Wu Canglan himself.
Now, it has become Si Ming.
"I've reached a crucial moment in my cultivation, so I'll head back now." With that, he stood up to leave.
Just then, the Second Prince Wu Chengtian, suddenly knocked over his wine cup.
And she gave Ling Yi a look.
This was the secret code that Qin Changming and Ling Yi had agreed upon.
The moment Wu Chengtian knocks over the wine cup will be the moment he strikes to kill Wu Canglan.
Without any hesitation, Ling Yi took out a dagger from his sleeve and was about to rush towards Wu Canglan.
But at that moment, two dark figures emerged from the Shadow beneath Wu Canglan's feet.
They attacked Wu Canglan from both the front and the rear.
Ling Yi then feigned a bewildered expression.
He glanced at the Second Prince, who paused for a moment, then shook his head.
Upon receiving the order, Ling Yi quietly sheathed his dagger, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
After shouting, he hid in a corner.
At this moment, Wu Canglan, or more precisely, Si Ming, was already fighting with the two Shadow Puppet.
At first, Si Ming wanted to hold back his strength.
They could sense the stirrings of Spiritual Power emanating from the Shadow Puppet, and were immediately alarmed.
These two Shadow Puppet were actually at the same level as him, both at the Qi Refining Twelfth Layer Great Perfection.
Moreover, he is only at the Body Tempering Realm, and his Martial Dao Realm is far behind.
Even so, the two Shadow Puppet posed a deadly threat to him.
Si Ming dared not conceal his strength any longer.
With a hand seal, a golden sword shadow appeared out of thin air.
The Ying Yi flashed past, instantly shattering the Shadow Puppet in front of it.
At the same time, Si Ming turned around and clashed head-on with the Shadow Puppet behind him.
Although there is only one realm difference between the Body Tempering Ninth Layer and the Body Tempering Eighth Layer, it is a vast gap.
The Shadow Puppet only took two punches before its body began to contort.
After the Three Fists, it completely collapsed.
"Which Laozi Sneak Attack?" Si Ming roared, his expression contorted with rage.
However, the voice of " Wu Canglan " at this moment was no longer Wu Canglan's voice.
His voice became hoarse, aged, and extremely unpleasant to hear.
But the next moment, four Shadow Puppet emerged from Si Ming's Shadow.
Attack Si Ming again.
At this moment, Ling Yi secretly sent Si Ming Devour Heaven and Earth.
This time, things went wrong.
After the first layer of the Devour Heaven and Earth is unsealed, it can directly devour the cultivation of living people.
However, the target must be in a state of invulnerability.
Ling Yi had thought that using Devour Heaven and Earth on the lively Si Ming at this moment would not be successful.
But it actually succeeded.
At the same time, the sky outside the palace suddenly darkened.
The sky was originally clear and blue, but suddenly it became covered with dark clouds.
Ling Yi, inside the main hall, seemed to have realized something and couldn't help but exclaim, "No way, Lightning Tribulation?"
