Chapter 962: Chi Zixian (2/2)

The kingdom had a tradition of tracing back to the origin. Moreover, this tradition was started by their progenitor, Immortal Emperor Chi Ye.

At a young age, the emperor cultivated the Sunset Glow Scripture as his starting point. He entered the Blood Primal Ground for training as well. His status was recognized by the primal ground, and he even took the reins of the Blood Race in place of the Primal Ground!

Later on, the Crimson Night Kingdom went on a decline until Immortal Emperor Chen Xue's birth. He also returned to the primal ground at a young age to work on his grand dao and eventually won the throne to revitalize his kingdom! This allowed the kingdom to once again take charge of the Blood Race instead of the primal ground!

Because of its prestigious past, the kingdom had always wanted to return to the top of their race, to once more become their leader!

Even though the Storm G.o.d backing Chi Zixian was very influential, this didn’t mean that all the ancestors in the kingdom supported her.

This was especially true after Si Yuanyuan’s appearance. To a certain extent, it truly affected Chi Zixian’s position. A few elders were able to see hope in Si Yuanyuan due to her mastery of the Sunset Glow Scripture. This meant that she had a great chance of returning to the primal ground to cultivate the legendary primordial laws just like Immortal Emperor Chi Ye back then! If she could achieve this, then it meant that the Crimson Night Kingdom could return to the top of the Blood Race and gain the ability to command the entire race across the nine worlds!

If this situation came true, then not only would Chi Zixian lose her royal throne, her branch would also lose control over the kingdom.

Thus, both she and her branch would never allow for this to happen. The imperial family’s ancestors of her branch decided to erase all signs of Si Yuanyuan’s existence, so outsiders never found out that the kingdom still had such a brilliant disciple.

In fact, if certain powerful ancestors didn’t allow it, Si Yuanyuan might have disappeared from this world already.

Chi Zixian coldly uttered with a twisted expression: “This s.l.u.t dared to actually show her face again instead of hiding for the rest of her life!”

“Your Highness will be able to ascend to the throne soon, so her sudden appearance right now might be a reaction to that.” An expert next to her speculated.

Chi Zixian coldly responded: “Someone from a side branch like her wants to compete for the royal seat against me? Just a fool’s dream!”

Despite saying that, Chi Zixian knew full well that if Si Yuanyuan could return to the primal ground, she would actually have the chance to take control of the kingdom.

“Her appearance might not be an attack on Your Highness.” Her strategist mused: “Your Highness’ inauguration has already been decided. Even if Si Yuanyuan has the protection of the ancestors, she still won’t be able to reverse the situation. Your Highness should just wait in peace before your ascension instead of being distracted by this matter.”

“No!” Chi Zixian’s expression darkened: “This s.l.u.t cannot be left alive. The longer she lives, the longer she will remain a threat! Even if I become ruler, she can still come back and take over the royal throne when she returns to the primal ground!”

“Your Highness, we shouldn’t do it!” The strategist was startled: “If Your Highness kills Si Yuanyuan, then it would break the pact. The ancestors will not be happy!”

The only reason Si Yuanyuan was still alive right now was because she had ancestors protecting her. However, because of the Storm G.o.d’s imperious authority, both sides made concessions. Si Yuanyuan couldn’t enter the imperial family to learn emperor laws while Chi Zixian’s side guaranteed not to harm her despite her being a thorn in Chi Zixian’s eyes.

“Really now?” Her eyes turned cold and her words were even colder: “It is different now. The s.l.u.t seduced outsiders to murder the Supreme Elder. This is treason and must be punished with death! I, as the main descendant of Crimson Night, have both the responsibility and the authority to dispose the sect of traitors!”

Chi Zixian didn’t want Si Yuanyuan to live any longer since her existence would always be a threat to her! In Chi Zixian’s mind, Si Yuanyuan had to die!

“Hmm...” The strategist pondered: “It won’t be easy to answer those older forefathers once we kill Si Yuanyuan.”

“There is nothing to say.” Chi Zixian sneered: “Everyone has the responsibility to deal with traitors! That s.l.u.t conspired with outsiders to kill our Supreme Elder — this is a sin of renouncing her ancestors and sect! Even if the forefathers were to blame us, the ancestor can still handle it!”

The ancestor Chi Zixian referred to was the Storm G.o.d. As the daughter of Immortal Emperor Chen Xue, she had absolute authority in the kingdom!

Chi Zixian drily said: “Make the preparations, I will go to the Holy City tomorrow to personally deal with that traitorous s.l.u.t!”

Her underlings acknowledged her command and went to carry it out.

She then looked outside with a chilling smile, ‘that s.l.u.t is dead for sure this time!’ She would be able to sleep soundly after the s.l.u.t was dead.

For her future goals, she wanted to use the Storm G.o.d for as long as possible while the ancestor was still alive to suppress the other ancestors. She must plan aggressive reforms so that the control over the kingdom would truly be in her branch’s hands!
