capital, imperial palace.

liang sheng followed the no-life sect leader from a distance, feeling hesitant upon seeing the imperial palace before him.

however, he hesitated, the no-life sect leader suddenly turned to the left and stopped in a hidden corner at the edge of the imperial city.

seeing that the sect leader wasn’t entering the palace, liang sheng gritted his teeth and continued to follow quietly, relying on the attribute panel to remain unnoticed.

at this moment, the no-life sect leader was wearing night-walking clothes, blending in with the night as his qi was concealed. he was hidden in a corner outside the palace, where even the imperial army’s patrols wouldn’t notice him.

but the no-life sect leader stood still for a long time, seemingly waiting for someone.

at the next moment, liang sheng’s pupils contracted as he saw an unexpected figure approaching.

in the corner, the innate master eunuch, who had executed prince ping’an and xuan kong, was helping an old man walk slowly.

the old man was none other than emperor yan jing, ye yun.

the sight of this scene would evoke laughter if it were described. after all, how could it be possible for the no-life sect leader and the current emperor to meet privately?

but the truth was so strange. and both sides seemed quite familiar. the eunuch master didn’t show any caution, taking out a folding chair and offering it to emperor yan jing to sit on, even thoughtfully covering him with a small blanket.

“although da ban is with me, 1 still have to avoid attracting attention. that’s why i only brought a chair for myself. you don’t mind, do you?”

the no-life sect leader remained silent and expressionless under his mask, but from his tone, one could tell he was disdainful.

“enough of your pretense. the grandmaster here used a magical weapon for your sake, and i’m afraid he does not have many years left.

but really, haven’t you grown tired of pretending all your life? whatever, this has nothing to do with my purpose today. i’m here to collect my reward.”

“i will give you what you want, but knowing my time is running out, we haven’t had a proper chat in all these years, have we?”

upon hearing this, the no-life sect leader hesitated but didn’t refuse. emperor yan jing knew he had tacitly agreed.

“thank you for helping this time; otherwise, i don’t know how long that old fart ye min would keep hiding.

if my end wasn’t near, i wouldn’t have taken action so quickly, since it would ultimately hurt dayan’s national strength.

and because i acted hastily, 1 left some loose ends. 1 originally wanted da ban to serve my prince, but he won’t last for more than a few years now. fortunately, these are just minor details and don’t affect the overall situation.”

in response, the no-life sect leader sneered, “you’re just as hypocritical as ever. can you stop playing the helpless victim? wasn’t it you who had me kidnap ye min’s legitimate child thirty years ago? isn’t this part of your plan?

although unforeseen events occurred, such as princess ping’an personally bringing the child back from jinzhou city, didn’t you still manipulate the holy sect to push prince ping’an’s mansion into your trap step by step?”

hearing this, liang sheng was astonished. he had never imagined that the no-life sect and the emperor had been trading for decades.

furthermore, since its founding, dayan had been suppressing the no-life sect, which had managed to survive. could it be…

at this moment, a bold idea crossed liang sheng’s mind, but he quickly shook his head, bitterly smiling at the thought of how impossible it seemed.

yet, deep down, he felt that this was the truth, and emperor yan jing’s following words confirmed his suspicion. he had never thought that the ruling dynasty’s royal family and the rebellious no-life sect were in cahoots.

“nevermind, right and wrong don’t matter much anymore. 1 did all this for the sake of ye family’s territory and have no regrets. 1 can face our ancestors with a clear conscience.

if ye min were still around, it would be extremely difficult for my son to ascend the throne smoothly. and, unrest would be inevitable within dayan, ultimately harming the interests of our ye family.
