Chapter 2184: Real Or Fake (2/2)

“Chu Qingling!” Someone exclaimed.

She had left earlier to chase after the ginseng but now, she came back to recognize Li Qiye’s status.

All four great powers were here now. Though there were others who partic.i.p.ated in this power struggle, these four were still the main ones. If all four agreed on this matter, then it became a sure thing. No one else could do anything about it.

So right now, there was a stalemate because two were in support and the other two rejected this notion.

“Ha, just Chu Camp and w.a.n.g Clan aren’t enough.” Mighty Mountain said: “The w.a.n.g has also violated our system’s laws, so they aren’t qualified to discuss this matter. If they want to establish their authority once more, they need to reveal the death of the late emperor first!”

The shocked crowd all glanced at the queen and tongues began to quietly wag.

This matter was concluded long ago because the emperor had pa.s.sed for some time now. Furthermore, the great powers didn’t talk about it so the rest followed suit.

However, some skepticism and doubts were born after Mighty Mountain brought it up.

The late emperor was still very young - more than thirty was considered nothing in the system. Someone at this age should be vigorous and br.i.m.m.i.n.g with life with a limitless future.

However, he suddenly died without warnings and any known illness. Though the royal court didn’t directly address his death, the w.a.n.g sent out a message - he died due to a problem with cultivation. Instability led to an internal explosion.

People accepted this in stride. After all, cultivators often died in this manner.

Nevertheless, they began doubting about the circ.u.mstances behind his death. Was there really more to it?

“His Majesty cultivated the Insane Blood Law. The blood a.s.saulted his heart and he eventually died on his bed since treatments were useless.” w.a.n.g Han’s expression darkened: “You have other questions?”

Mighty Mountain smiled implicatively: “Your Highness, that’s hard to say. Blood attacking the heart is not a common occurrence during cultivation. I actually heard someone was cultivating Heretical Blood Devour in the w.a.n.g Clan, and as you know, this is a great crime.”

“Heretical Blood Devour!” The older characters were startled while trying to read the queen’s expression.

“What is that?” A young disciple quietly asked his senior but was shushed right away.

The ancestors, in particular, were greatly jolted. This merit law was forbidden in their system for a reason; its return might herald the dark days once more.

Though Mighty Mountain didn’t say any name, the implication was clear. Keep in mind that the emperor might not be the strongest in the system, but he represented its authority and orthodox line.
