Chapter 607 - Worshiping the Deceased Emperor (1/2)

Qin Nan’s breathing was now balanced.

The Emperor’s Qi was relatively warm, thoroughly activating his pores. The pain that covered his body gradually vanished due to the warmth.

Even the poison he had contracted was slowly devoured by the Emperor’s Qi.

“Who would have thought that this Emperor’s Qi is so magical…”

Qin Nan exclaimed in his heart.

Following this, his heart shuddered after hearing the words of the Sky-Scorching Emperor. It seems like I should speed up the process of restoring my strength and get rid of the poison.

The reason being that the Skyhowl White Tiger and Di Fengyun were planning to make their moves during the phase of worshipping the Deceased Emperor to retrieve the treasure within the statue.

...While he was recovering, on the Heaven-Worshipping Ground...

The high priests had brought out delicacies and wines made of various Martial Highness Realm beasts, and had lit the incense sticks. They then led the crowd in prayer, with the resonance of instruments, combining into a peaceful sight.

However, behind the scenes, an icy surge was emerging.

Zhou Bihua and Lin Fengxiao glanced in the direction of the Skyhowl White Tiger and Di Fengyun. In addition to them, the Ten Dukes and the other ministers were gazing at them too.

It was possible for any royal kin or various faction to conduct the assassination targeting the Third Prince.

However, the biggest suspect was the White Tiger Platoon!

The White Tiger Platoon was the only one with enough power and resources to train a peak Martial Highness Realm Death Servant.

Some of the experts were confused why the Death Servant had not targeted Duan Qing instead. The reason for this was that, in the White Tiger Platoon’s eyes, Duan Qing’s presence actually posed the lowest threat to the White Tiger Platoon as his cultivation was insignificant in this upcoming battle.

In the end, it all came down to the competition between the experts!

What could Duan Qing possibly do?

At least, by killing the Third Prince, they would be able to free up the title of the crown prince, bringing chaos to the situation.

Zhou Bihua took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment, before he transmitted his voice to Di Fengyun, “It’s me!”

Di Fengyun’s figure shuddered, before he quickly recovered and replied coldly, “What is it that the Platoon Leader of the Vermilion Bird Platoon wants from me?”

“Don’t trust the White Tiger,” Zhou Bihua whispered, “He’s using you!”

“Using me? HAHA, you all have been using me, how would I not know? Zhou Bihua, stop pretending! If you really treated me as your successor, why didn’t you teach me the Art of the Immortal Vermilion Bird? You said that it would kill me, but how about Duan Qing? So he won’t die?” Di Fengyun grumbled as if his scar had been touched upon.

Zhou Bihua wore a troubled look, “He’s different…”

He had only taught Qin Nan the Art of the Immortal Vermilion Bird as he was extremely talented in Martial Skills, and was approved by Sacred Leader Qinglong.

If Di Fengyun were to practice the Art of the Immortal Vermilion Bird, he really would die.

“Cut the bullshit, remember this, the humiliation you gave me before, I’ll give you back ten times the amount!” Di Fengyun wore an icy expression. In his eyes, Zhou Bihua was looking down on him and doubting his talents by not teaching him the Art of the Immortal Vermilion Bird!

Zhou Bihua let out a sigh, before his eyes coldened.

Let the remaining master-disciple relationship be blown away by the wind.

The heaven-worshipping phase continued at a quickened pace. All procedures were finished in less than the period it took three incense sticks to burn.

“Let’s worship the Deceased Emperor now! Master Di Fengyun is in charge!” The master of ceremonies announced.

The crowd immediately glanced toward him.

Di Fengyun rose from his seat and with a flicker, his figure arriving before the Statue of the Deceased Emperor. He had changed his attire to a large white robe, similar to the master of ceremonies.

The eyes of the many experts glittered.

The worshipping of the Deceased Emperor—Di Fengyun was the only one that could conduct it!

Only an eighth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit could resonate with the Statue of the Deceased Emperor and obtain its approval!
