The capital city, the imperial city, late at night!
Not far from the Vermilion Bird Gate, three slender figures wearing veils were looking in the direction of Vermilion Bird gate.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Qin Yue had an impatient temper.
Now that all three of them are Grandmaster, isn't this Xiaoxiao imperial city something they can easily control?
Throughout the entire Great Qian Kingdom, there are hardly any Grandmaster Master.
Master's power is enough to influence the imperial court, let alone Grandmaster.
" Qin Yue, how many times have I told you, don't rush things." Qin Yuan looked in the direction of the city gate, her voice calm and steady.
"Especially when undertaking important tasks, one must not be impatient."
"Although Grandmaster are powerful, there are things that can harm Grandmaster. For example, Ninth Pin Rune Cannon, if prepared properly, can severely injure or even kill Grandmaster."
"Princess, wasn't the Rune Cannon destroyed a long time ago?" Qin Yue shook her head.
"As far as I know, my father arranged a team of rune masters more than ten years ago to specifically repair Rune Cannon, although my father is no longer with us now."
"But after all these years, the Rune Cannon might still be repaired."
"If it has already been repaired, it would pose a huge threat to us."
Qin Yue frowned, feeling only annoyed.
Forget it, let's leave the brain-intensive tasks to those who have brains!
All we need to do is follow orders and chop away when the time comes.
Qin Yuan then looked at Ling Yun, who was curiously examining the city gate, and asked, " Xiaoyun, what do you think we should do?"
"Ah, Sister Yuan, you're asking me?" Ling Yun was just there to join in the fun.
But she never expected Qin Yuan to ask her that.
"Killing Qin Yue Tian shouldn't be difficult, but controlling the court is not so easy."
Ling Yun answered without thinking.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes. Qin Yue seemed quite shrewd, but in reality, she was just a female Reckless Man.
Deliberately engaging in combat and killing enemies.
But asking her to use her brain is simply out of the question.
What Qin Yuan truly lacks is a true strategist.
Qin Yuan knew very well that although she was smart, much of what she knew was just theoretical knowledge.
Theoretical knowledge is fine, but it lacks sensitivity and insight into things.
Ling Yun, however, happens to possess this talent.
Initially, Qin Yuan taught Ling Yun only because Ling Yi asked her to teach her.
However, Ling Yun's talent aroused Qin Yuan's interest in her.
During this period, I shared almost everything I knew.
What Ling Yun lacks now is practice and experience.
"Good, continue!" Qin Yuan said.
"The current situation in the court is still unclear. What if Qin Yue Tian has already taken control of the entire court? What if there are other forces in the court that can rival Qin Yue Tian?"
Ling Yun gazed intently in the direction of the imperial city as she spoke.
"So what do you think the situation is like in the imperial court right now?" Qin Yuan asked.
"They haven't fully taken control, or rather, Qin Yue Tian's side in the court is actually at a disadvantage; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent a eunuch with troops to Red Maple Town."
"There are only two reasons for this. One is that Qin Yue Tian doesn't trust the people in the court; he doesn't have complete control over them, so naturally he can't trust them."
"Another issue is that those generals who originally held military power in the imperial court have now been stripped of their command."
"But regardless of the reason, the final conclusion is the same: Qin Yue Tian's control over the court is not strong."
After a pause, Ling Yun continued, "I remember you told me, Sister Yuan, that most officials in the court come from aristocratic families."
"And these powerful families are mostly opportunistic and exploitative."
" Qin Yue Tian's rise to power must have been due to the support of powerful families."
"However, his physical foundation was not strong to begin with, and his talent for cultivation was average, making him not the best candidate for emperor."
Yet, he managed to gain the support of powerful families and successfully ascend the throne.
"There's only one reason: Qin Yue Tian promised the aristocratic families too many benefits."
"If I'm not mistaken, Qin Yue Tian's current situation is not good, because the aristocratic families chose him as emperor not because of his strength, but precisely because he is too weak."
To put it bluntly, the powerful family was raising a puppet emperor.
"Not bad, not bad!" Qin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, some people's talent is undeniable.
Qin Yue also gave Ling Yun a thumbs up.
"So what do you think we should do?" Qin Yuan asked.
"A high-profile appearance to alert the enemy!"
"Alright, then I'll head straight back to my princess's residence first thing tomorrow morning."
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Study in the palace.
Qin Yue Tian was using the Kun Tun Divine Art the Corpse Fiend that was imprisoned in the Heavenly Cage.
The Kun Tun Divine Art allows one to absorb the essence, energy, and spirit of others for one's own use.
Furthermore, Ignore the target's cultivation level and realm.
It is an extremely domineering secret technique.
It was obtained by chance when the founding emperor of the Great Qian Kingdom was vying for the Jiang Shan, and accidentally stumbled upon an ancient secret realm in a mountain.
It was this very cultivation technique that made the Great Qian Emperor invincible, almost sweeping all before him to become the first emperor of the Great Qian Kingdom.
However, this emperor reigned for less than ten years and died before the age of forty.
The official explanation was that he fell ill due to overwork and exhaustion, and that the condition had become so severe that even medicine could not cure him.
The truth is that the Kun Tun Divine Art backfired.
Once you start practicing the Kun Tun Divine Art, you have to constantly absorb Qi and Blood, and essence to transform them into Internal Energy and True Yuan.
If it can no longer absorb the Qi and Blood and essence of others, it will absorb its own Qi and Blood.
Besides this, the Kun Tun Divine Art seems to be missing a very important step.
There's no problem with absorbing Qi and Blood energy and essence, but the problem is that it will also absorb the target's soul power.
To be precise, it is the Negative Energy emanating from the power of the soul.
For example, resentment, anger, pain, sorrow, greed, and so on.
The stronger the goal, the more terrifying this Negative Energy becomes.
It is also more difficult to digest.
When the Negative Energy of hundreds or thousands of people accumulates together.
The person will be enveloped by all kinds of Negative Energy, gradually going mad in pain, and gradually losing themselves in madness.
The founding emperor of the Great Qian Kingdom ultimately could not bear this pain and took his own life before going completely insane.
Before his death, he sealed away the Kun Tun Divine Art and classified it as a forbidden technique.
It must not be used unless the fate of the Great Qian Kingdom is at stake.
Did Qin Yue Tian not know about the problems with this cultivation technique?
Of course he knew.
Qin Yue Tian was the most useless of all the princes and princesses.
He was bad at studying and lacked the brains; his grades at the Imperial Academy were always at the bottom.
They are often ridiculed Taunt.
I'm not cut out for martial arts; I don't have the talent.
He was frail and sickly from a young age, a typical good-for-nothing.
However, Qin Yue Tian himself is extremely ambitious.
They're clearly incapable of anything, yet they insist on competing for everything.
To put it simply, he's talented and loves to have fun.
For the sake of the throne, Qin Yue Tian would stop at nothing.
He collaborated with various powerful families to become a puppet emperor and cultivated the Kun Tun Divine Art.
Qin Yue Tian is actually going to extremes.
At this moment, Qin Yue Tian was surrounded by black mist.
The skin also exhibited an abnormal grayish-white cesium color.
Its eyes were bloodshot, emitting a faint red glow.
However, the Aura emanating from him became extremely terrifying.
"Hehe!"
Qin Yue Tian slowly finished her practice, letting out a sharp, indistinct laugh.
"Beyond the Grandmaster, the Earthly Gang Realm Yu Cheng."
"This power!" Qin Yue Tian clenched his right hand tightly.
Bang!
A terrifying Gang Yuan erupted forth.
Instantly, the ground caved in and cracked, and the entire imperial study shook violently several times.
"This power is truly captivating!"
"It's driving people crazy!"
"So, the Grandmaster isn't the Limit; so, above Martial Practitioner, there are immortals."
"My good ministers, in three days it will be the Grand Preceptor's birthday banquet. I have a big surprise for you."
