Northwest.
Mount Kunwu.
Upon reaching the summit, all other mountains seem small.
At this moment on the top of Mount Kunwu, Liang Sheng looked at the fairyland-like scenery before him, immediately thought of this poem, and couldn’t help but let out a long, passionate cry.
In an instant, the forest trembled, and the wild animals in the forest were frightened and fled in panic. For a short while, the entire forest was thrown into chaos.
After his cry, Liang Sheng’s gloom of more than a month was dispelled. He had followed the Kunwu mountain range for a month without finding any abnormalities.
It seems that the records in the unofficial history books were really fabricated, and he came here for nothing. However, the beautiful scenery before him did bring him some consolation.
After venting his emotions, Liang Sheng was ready to go down the mountain. He didn’t know how the situation in Dayan had developed during this time, and whether the rebellion in the Southwest had been suppressed.
He had been wandering around the forest on Mount Kunwu, so he was not aware of the situation.
However, just as he prepared to descend the mountain, a landslide suddenly occurred on Mount Kunwu. With Liang Sheng’s cultivation level surpassing that of an Innate Master, he was naturally unharmed.
But at this moment, Liang Sheng felt something and followed the path of the mountain fracture, only to find a hidden dimension inside.
Were there really secrets hidden in Mount Kunwu?
As Liang Sheng was excited, the moment the landslide on Mount Kunwu occurred, the Southwest completely rebelled, declared independence, and officially broke away from the rule of the Dayan Dynasty.
That night, Emperor Kaiping knelt down in the Grand Temple without getting up. For a short while, the dynasty had no ruler. The Prime Minister received Qin Gang’s oral message and hurriedly led hundreds of officials out of the Golden Hall, each performing their duties.
No one knew what the hundreds of civil and military officials were thinking at this moment, but the fluttering of hearts had become a fact.
After Chen Ping’s rebellion, the situation in Dayan had completely changed. The initial rebellion in the Southwest had been small-scale, but with Chen Ping’s support, the rebellion had become unstoppable. In an instant, the rule of the Dayan Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.
Nobody had expected that in just twenty years, the title of Emperor Kaiping would become a joke.
Outside the Grand Temple, Qin Gang looked anxious because Emperor Kaiping had been kneeling inside the temple for a day. How could he not be worried?
However, he didn’t know that at this moment, not only was Emperor Kaiping in the temple, but the Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect was also sitting by his side, their eyes closed and silent.
“Thirteenth Uncle, what should I do now? How dare these ordinary men bully me like this? If 1 personally lead the troops to suppress the rebellion in the Southwest, what do you think?”
When thinking of Chen Ping’s rebellion under the banner of clearing Li Hong’s name, it felt like he was being undressed in public.
If he had known this would happen, why didn’t he deal with Chen Ping back then? However, who could have known that Chen Ping was waiting for the opportunity by plotting and biding his time?
Twenty years! Chen Ping was really a man who could endure!
The Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect glanced at Emperor Kaiping and gave him a meaningful look. Then, he suddenly said, “Do you know how your father evaluated you before he passed away?”
Emperor Kaiping hesitated and didn’t speak. The Old Sect Master of the Lifeless Sect continued to speak for himself, not avoiding Emperor Kaiping’s questions.
“Although your father was ruthless, his governance and strategy were first-rate. Otherwise, how could Prince Ping’an, a hero of his generation, have given in so easily?
Your father had said long ago that you were high-minded and incompetent. Although you have some means, you are too petty. However, you are the strongest descendant of his line, and he had no choice but to choose you.”
“My father really thought so poorly of me?”
Emperor Kaiping didn’t expect that he was so unbearable in Emperor Yan Jing’s eyes. But if that were the case, why did he pass the throne to himself? Wasn’t it because he felt that he was not virtuous enough for the throne?
