The Phoenix King Valley Master finally realized the ident.i.ty of the person standing before him. Isn"t the evil dao witch already dead?! How in the world did she appear here?!?!?!?!?!
Bai Luochu looked at the Phoenix King Valley Master"s surprised expression and sneered, "Heh, do you feel that it is unbelievable? The heavens aren"t blind and didn"t allow me to die. I reincarnated into another body. I"m sure you know what I"m here for..."
Before the Valley Master could say anything else, Bai Luochu flickered a silver needle at his head. No one had time to react when their valley master was killed. As for the rest of the disciples in the Phoenix King Valley, she left it to her other temple members. After all, all these people were all fools that wished to suppress others. There was no need for her to spare them.
The same thing happened as Bai Luochu led their "army" towards the Battle Devil Sect.
In a single day, two of the immortal sects were destroyed while the remaining immortal sect experienced a change in ruling. A rumor of them colluding with an evil sect also emerged. In the span of a single day, every single faction felt as though misfortune was about to descend on them.
A surprising announcement destroyed the complicated feeling they were holding in their heart. The Palace of Brilliance Resurgence issued a peace notice to the other factions and stated that they wouldn"t be using the model of the Three Great Immortal Sects to govern the lands. In the future, all cultivation resources were to be shared freely and no one had to forcefully hand over their gains!
Since there were a few factions who had visited the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence in the past, they quickly sent out scouts to verify the information. No one knew how, but they managed to confirm the validity of the news in a single day.
There was a saying that went "good things don"t make it out of the door". However, this was an exception. The reputation of the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence also took a turn for the better.
When Pei Qingfeng saw what had happened, he pulled her arm as he made a decision in his heart.
"Come, I shall tell you the secret I have been hiding in my heart." Before Bai Luochu could refuse, he had already soared high in the sky with her.
...
On the day the Phoenix King Valley was destroyed, Feng Wan"er couldn"t conceal her ambition any longer and she convinced Pei Wuchen to conspire for the throne.
Since Feng Wan"er married into the Third Prince"s residence, she didn"t obtain Pei Wuchen"s love and had to watch as Pei Wuchen constantly brought in multiple concubines. Initially, she consoled herself by telling herself that a prince without other consorts would be ridiculed by the others.
But over time, Feng Wan"er sensed that something was wrong. Princes would normally bring in new concubines based on their looks, but no matter how she looked at it, none of them could match up to her in terms of beauty.
Even their seduction methods were nonexistent. To put it bluntly, they were nothing more than wooden blocks.
Initially, Feng Wan"er felt that they looked rather familiar and she snapped when she realized that Pei Wuchen was bringing all the women who resembled Luo Chu back. She barged into Pei Wuchen"s study and started a ma.s.sive argument with him.
When Pei Wuchen noticed Feng Wan"er"s behavior, a frown formed on his face.
"Why are you here? This is the study room! There are plenty of secrets here! How can you barge in without warning?!”
"I am not someone from an enemy nation, and I am your first wife! Why are you guarding against me?! Is there something you"re hiding from me?!”
Feng Wan"er felt that she was no longer able to hold back the rage in her heart. Even though she had been married to Pei Wuchen for such a long time, she would be summoned by Pei Wuchen"s mother into the palace every few days and questioned about the fact that she wasn"t pregnant yet. It wasn"t because Feng Wan"er didn"t want it! Instead, Pei Wuchen seemed to have turned into a monk that would devote himself to everyone but her! Apart from dealing with the so-called political affairs in his study room, he would visit those concubines" rooms to speak with them.
"I am not here today to quarrel with you." Feng Wan"er ambition that had been silent for a long time exploded all of a sudden.
Since Pei Wuchen wasn"t giving her the love she wanted, she would just have to strive for authority instead.
Pei Wuchen tilted his face and realized that Feng Wan"er was no longer the old Feng Wan"er he had married two years ago. The vitality in her eyes was no longer present.
But he didn"t care. What happened to Feng Wan"er wasn"t important at all. After knowing that Feng Wan"er was a person with a vicious and scheming heart, he didn"t wish to take an extra look at her. He married her in order to gain the support of the Phoenix King Valley, nothing more.
"His Majesty is getting increasingly muddled and incompetent. All the princes are getting restless. Instead of waiting for them to rise to the throne, why don"t we make the first move?”
Feng Wan"er wanted the position of empress, and she knew that it wasn"t going to be worse than her original position. Instead of being mediocre for life, why shouldn"t she take a risk and see if she could open up a future for herself?
"Are you insane? This is a rebellion you"re talking about! If it doesn"t succeed, the entire Phoenix King Valley will be destroyed!" Pei Wuchen"s face turned serious. He knew that when a nation was formed, they would train a very formidable group of sacrificial warriors in case a day the kingdom faced the risk of annihilation. If his Emperor Father mobilized them, even an existence like the Phoenix King Valley wouldn"t be able to survive.
Feng Wan"er naturally knew about it, but she had her plans. She would request for backup from the Phoenix King Valley in order to catch the old emperor off guard. If she won, she would be the greatest contributor. Even if Pei Wuchen didn"t love her, he would still need to give her the recognition she wanted. If she lost... she had already made plans for it. She had already decided to sacrifice everyone in case anything went wrong and let Pei Wuchen take the fall for her. Since he didn"t love her, he couldn"t blame her for what she was about to do.
"I will ask my father to mobilize some troops. The Phoenix King Valley might not be good at war, but we are forcing the emperor to abdicate. The people in the palace aren"t strong enough to stop us. As long as we succeed, you will be the only person above the ma.s.ses. Think about it carefully. There will no longer be a chance like this in the future.”
Once Feng Wan"er finished her statement, she stood quietly by the side. She waited for Pei Wuchen"s reply patiently.
Pei Wuchen felt his mind go blank. The conditions stated by Feng Wan"er was extremely tempting. He knew that if he missed this chance, he would no longer be able to fight for the throne with Pei Rumo.
All he needed to do was to catch Pei Rumo off guard. Since Pei Rumo hadn"t made any preparations, it would be the best time for him to strike. If his first brother started to guard against him, there was no way he would be able to succeed.
"Tell me then, what are your terms?" Pei Wuchen knew that Feng Wan"er"s feelings for him had faded the moment she instigated the rebellion. As such, he knew that she wanted something from him.
