Chapter 2537: Extremely Disobedient

ch the threshold of immortality."Wang Xiaofeng looked at the Xuanren beside him and said gratefully, "Thank you, Xuan Wudao!""Next, the one who will change your body is my disciple." The hermit turned...The figure that appeared before Handing Tian remained silent.

He walked into the secret chamber and came before Han Dingtian.

Han Dingtian's body was bound by several chains, making it impossible to move.

This figure stepped to a distance of mere one step from the Cold Ding Heaven, once again raising its left palm.

"Om..."

A buzzing sound rang out.

This figure's left palm released a cyan light, enveloping Han Dingtian from head to toe.

Meanwhile, the chains that bound Han Dingtian... began to vibrate.

"Click, click, click..."

A metallic clang echoed.

"Bang!"

With a final muffled sound, the light vanished.

Several chains still clung to Han Dingtian's body, but they had lost their luster.

Hán Dǐng's body twitched slightly.

"Splash!"

Several chains instantly turned to ashes and dissipated into the air.

Having regained his freedom, Han Dingtian slightly moved his bones before immediately kneeling on the ground, pressing his forehead against the soles of this figure's feet.

"Thanks to the deity for helping!"

With a grateful bow, Han Dingtian said.

The figure before him lowered their head slightly, and in their dark gold eyes, there wasn't a flicker of emotion.

"Go and do what you want to do."

A cold and dry voice emerged from the figure's mouth.

“That’s right!” Han Dingtian replied immediately.

"Whoosh!"

The figure vanished from sight in an instant.

Han Dingtian stood up, looked at the already opened secret room door in front of him, grinned, revealing an extremely cold and mocking smile.

The culmination of years of planning had finally arrived.

Today, he is about to reach the peak!

……

Inside the Tai Shi Fu.

"Fang Yu has been let go again! Now all the major clans are gathering their forces, preparing to lay siege to the King's City!"

"Surround, lay siege to the royal city!"

"Yes, they are going to rescue the head of the household!"

All sorts of messages and public opinion were relayed back to the Grand Master's Mansion.

This caused a commotion in the meeting hall.

As the eldest and most respected member of the family, Han Jinwu was completely unable to make a clear-headed decision at this moment.

He was stunned by the barrage of news.

All the major clans and families are going to besiege the palace, to rescue Han Dingtian

This... is this really true!

Why has the situation developed to this point

Han Jinwu was completely dumbfounded.

In a side chamber of the council hall, Han Miao'yi was also receiving various intelligence reports.

She lowered her head, her brows furrowed in deep thought.

"Could it be that all of this was Grandpa's plan... He seemed to have made a terribly low-level mistake, but in reality, he was just using his imprisonment to ignite public opinion, causing many great families and clans to become restless until they decided to attack the royal city..." Han Miao'yi's mind raced, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. "But the public opinion shouldn't have fermented so quickly... Could Grandpa have accomplices outside"

"But if Grandpa had a plan, why didn't he tell us about it in advance"

"Why is he hiding this from us"

Since the incident occurred, the Han family, as a member of the Cold Ding Heavenly Array camp, has become the force with the least amount of information.

Now, the situation has put the Han family members in a rather awkward position.

They don't know what to do!

……

Outside the royal city.

Fang Yu took out the several maps he had received from Yuan Wang.

There are only three maps that depict territories beyond the Imperial court of the Genji Dynasty.

Fan Yu picked out the one that was slightly more refined, and unfolded it.

This map's scope is still limited, extending only about three thousand li outward.

You can see that if you start from the territory of the Genji clan and head west, the next territory you reach is called the Heishan Imperial Court.

As for who controls it, the map marks it as being controlled by the Nightmare Clan.

Judging by the name, this clan seems a bit strange, but Fang Yu is also quite curious.

"Little ball, we're going to this place next." Fang Yu pointed to a location on the map.

"Then shall we go now" Xiaqiu blinked and said.

"Yes, let's go now." Fang Yu nodded.

……

Inside the royal palace.

The Source King, originally slated for execution in the death row, received a flurry of messages from outside the palace city.

He immediately returned to the main hall and resumed his throne.

At this moment, he had summoned all of his trusted subordinates before him.

And this group of subordinates was not numerous.

With the destruction of the Fourth Army Group, only six loyal subordinates remained.

The First Wang Bingtuan commander Qianyu and deputy commander Kongyue, the Third Wang Bingtuan commander He Yu and deputy commander Haoyuan.

And also, the commander of the Second Royal Army Regiment, Matthew, and his deputy, Mullong.

"Your Majesty, the situation is critical now! Those great clans and noble families have gone mad! They are preparing to march on the capital together. This is a rebellion! A long-planned rebellion!" He Yu's face was extremely ugly, his tone filled with anger. "They have such audacity! To dare commit such a treasonous act!"

"Your Majesty, please issue the order immediately. Let me lead the Royal Army to quell the rebellion!"

And Jade knelt on one knee, cupped his fist and said.

His tone was laced with murderous intent, his eyes bloodshot.

"The root of the matter is, they believe that everything happening today is orchestrated by Your Majesty..." Deputy Commander Haru frowned.

"Why would they believe such unfounded things! Your Majesty's noble status, how could he possibly be acquainted with a human! Furthermore, to deal with just one minister, is all this roundabout manipulation necessary!" and Jade fumed.

The Source King sat on his throne, frowning but saying nothing.

"Your Majesty, please order me to go and suppress the rebellion!" He again said.

"In my opinion, at present, directly using force to suppress the rebellion... will only backfire." At this moment, Chihaya, who was standing beside him, spoke.

And then Yu turned his head to look at Qianyu, eyes wide, and said, "If we don't act, they'll storm the palace!"

"It's not about not taking action, but about acting smartly." Qianyu said.

"Then you better tell me how to make a smart move! " Yu's emotions were getting out of control as she questioned him.

"Silence." Yuan Wang spoke then.

The entire hall fell silent, and the six commanders, both principal and deputy, turned to look at King Yuan.

"Public opinion, it's been manipulated by them," Yuan Wang said emotionlessly. "Right now, the Royal City is under lockdown, like an isolated city. The public opinion outside...is completely out of our control."

"My Liege, we…" and Jade's face turned pale.

"Everything that happened today, I'm afraid... is all a scheme." Yuan Wang said softly, "From the moment I imprisoned the Grand Tutor in the death cell, we have been trapped within this scheme."

"After that, whether I take action against Fang Yu or not, for the Grand Tutor... it will be a beneficial outcome."

“If I take action, there is a possibility that both Fang Yu and I will be seriously injured, leaving the Grand Tutor to benefit. If I do nothing, the Grand Tutor will use public opinion to make everyone in the dynasty believe that everything today was orchestrated by me… with the aim of eliminating the Grand Tutor. This would lead many meritorious clans and families to feel betrayed, fearing for their own safety, and ultimately decide to band together against me.”

"Thus… Grand Tutor, you still profit."

At this point, Yuan Wang seemed to sigh.. The Extermination God Sect and the Bloodthirsty Heavenly Demon—their existence is something we both understand… This indicates that a third party is impersonating our Demon Clan and attacking branch...
