From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

The matter had been resolved.

After a few casual words, Yan caizhe sent another two divine martial realm cultivators to guard the residence.

At this critical moment.

Qin shujian couldn’t afford to have any mishaps.

If they lost a Grandmaster, then things would be troublesome.

He had not forgotten.

Gu Changqing’s two grandmasters of arrays had not really made a move yet.

Just by relying on Mingjing mountain.

They definitely couldn’t handle it.

On the other side.

Qin shujian was also much more cautious now.

Long ago.

He knew that the demon race might attack, but as time passed and the demon race did not make any moves, his originally vigilant heart slowly relaxed.

And now.

The assassination this time around made Qin shujian wary once again.

One must know that-

The other party could break into the mansion at any time. Even su Mingyang did not notice it at all and directly attacked him. Such a method was simply impossible to guard against. If he did not have two Dao artifacts to protect his body, he might have let the other party succeed.

Similarly.

Qin shujian was glad that he had the self-knowledge to refine the dustless fairy robe first.

With the appearance of the first round of assassination.

The entire Dingxiang city was under martial law.

Not only that.

Even the place where Mingjing mountain was located had many more guards.

Although Ming Jingshan’s power was unfathomable, they also had to be prepared. The other party had the Ming family behind him. If something happened, it would be hard to explain.

Just as Qin shujian was quietly training ...

Suddenly.

A piece of news spread out from the central Prefecture city and swept across the world like a storm in a short time.

At the same time.

He also received a system notification.

attention: in the year 6785, on the 27th day of the Yang month, the human Emperor passed away!

When he saw the blood-red words in his mind, Qin shujian almost thought that he was seeing things.

However-

The words on it did not disappear.

In an instant.

He immediately exited from his state of cultivation, his face filled with shock.

“The human Emperor has passed away!”

“How could the human Emperor die at this time!”

Qin shujian was truly shocked when he saw the system notification.

He was very clear.

What did the death of the human Emperor mean?

The reason why the great Zhao ruled the world and suppressed the world was because of the existence of the human Emperor. Even if there were talented people among the royal family, they were still far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the human Emperor.

For a moment.

Qin shujian’s thoughts were in a mess.

But he was sure of one thing.

Once the news of the emperor’s death spread out, the great Zhao would definitely be in turmoil, even if it did not fall apart.

Before this, there had been news that the human Emperor was nearing the end of his lifespan.

However-

The human Emperor was still in power.

Under such circumstances.

Even though the various parties had other thoughts in their hearts, they did not dare to act rashly.

In the thirteen constabularies.

Only thousand mountains Prefecture, which had the backing of the demon race, would dare to show itself at this time.

But even so ...

...

The demon clan supporting Gu Changqing had always been cautious and did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Now, the human Emperor had passed away.

Then the situation that was maintained before would definitely not exist.

Qin shujian did not have much time to think before he lifted his head and looked outside the door. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and su Mingyang’s voice came from outside, “”Sect master Qin, I have an important matter to discuss with you.”

Important matter?

Qin shujian could not help but connect the system’s notification to what the other party was about to say.

Could it be the news of the human Emperor’s death?

It had already been spread!

Qin shujian stood up and opened the door. He saw su Mingyang’s anxious expression and immediately asked, “”What exactly happened that made you so anxious?”

“The human Emperor has fallen!” Su Mingyang’s face was extremely ugly, and he said word by word.

“What!”

...

Qin shujian had a shocked expression on his face. It was as if he had just received this news.

He already knew.

There were some messages that only he could receive from the system.

Then, the news of the human Emperor’s death.

He should not have known in advance.

However ...

What truly shocked Qin shujian was ...

He had only received the system’s message for a short time, and now su Ming Yang had also received the news of the emperor’s death. If the other party did not have a system notification, then there must be some kind of extremely strong communication method.

Su Mingyang did not mind Qin shujian’s shocked expression.

In his opinion.

No matter who received the news of the emperor’s death, they would probably not be able to remain calm.

Su Mingyang’s face turned ugly. He said, ” the news of the emperor’s death came from the Imperial astronomer of the central Prefecture. This news is basically accurate.

“What are Lord Yan’s plans?”

“Now that the news of the emperor’s death has spread, I’m afraid that the hearts of the various manors are already in turmoil. Things are not good!”

At this point.

Su Mingyang looked at Qin shujian and said in a serious tone, “”Sect master Qin, now that the human Emperor has passed away, I’m afraid the demons will no longer have any scruples. If thousand mountain Prefecture was safe before, it is no longer safe.”

Upon hearing this.

Qin shujian understood this in his heart.

If the demons were still wary of the earlier assassinations ...

The human Emperor had died.

The monster race Masters would no longer have any qualms.

He could block the assassination of a half-step Deva.

Then what about the assassination of a celestial realm expert?

With his current means, he could at most be compared to a great cultivator who had just entered the celestial realm. If he were to face an expert on the level of Marquis North cloud, the difference would be too great. He would not be a match for him.

With this thought ...

“Is there any news from Marquis northcloud’s side?” Qin shujian asked.

“Not at the moment.”

“Yes.”

The two of them were speechless.

It was also at this moment that a guard walked over from afar. He looked at the two of them and bowed respectfully.”Grandmaster Qin, high official su, Lord Yan has invited you to the city Lord’s mansion!”

“Alright!”

The two of them looked at each other and immediately rushed to the city Lord’s mansion.

Yan caizhe sent someone over at this time.

What was it for?

The two of them were well aware of this.

They walked in Ding Xiang city.

There wasn’t much change.

After all, the news of the emperor’s death had only spread among the upper echelons and had yet to reach the common people.

However ...

However, Qin shujian could see the players in Ding Xiang city. There was something off about the expressions and actions of many of them. When he combined this with the other party’s identity, he could basically confirm that the players had received a notification similar to the system.

This way ...

The moment the human Emperor passed away ...

It had already spread throughout the entire great Zhao!

At this moment, the commoners did not know, but he believed that it would not be long before the players spread the news of the emperor’s death.

At that time.

That would be the real problem.

In the city Lord’s mansion.

The invisible heavy atmosphere caused everyone who entered to feel depressed. The guards and servants who came and went did not dare to make any wrong guesses.

When he stepped into the city Lord’s mansion.

Qin shujian also felt a sense of oppression in his heart. However, it was quickly dispelled by the spiritual will in his body.

“It seems like the death of the Emperor was something that Yan caizhe did not expect.”

A celestial being expert.

A single thought and movement could cause a change in the weather.

In the Army of the Imperial court that was fighting against Gu Changqing, the only celestial being strong practitioner on the surface was Yan caizhe.

The changes in the city Lord’s mansion.

Qin shujian didn’t need to think too much to know that it was caused by Yan caizhe.

Fortunately ...

After his spiritual God broke through the hundred meter mark, and with the special existence of God’s will, this kind of change was not able to shake his mind.

That’s right.

Qin shujian had started to study God’s will a little.

This kind of trait.

It should be used on the spiritual God.

It made it difficult for his spiritual God to be moved by the divine sense of others.

However ...

The specific effects still needed to be developed, and it was not yet fully known.

As for su Mingyang.

He was completely unaffected.

Although he wasn’t a great cultivator of the heaven tier, he had reached the peak of the divine martial realm, so this kind of emotional change couldn’t affect such a strong practitioner.

After the two of them entered the city Lord’s mansion.

Then, he entered the main hall with ease.

At this moment.

With the exception of Yan caizhe.

All the generals who were going to attack Gu Changqing were gathered here.

Even the Grandmaster of arrays, Ming Jingshan, had arrived first.

With regards to the arrival of Qin shujian and su Mingyang, Yan caizhe also took a look and said, “”There’s no need for formalities, please take a seat!”

In this regard.

Qin shujian and su Mingyang cupped their hands slightly and then found a place to sit.

After the two of them sat down.

The scene fell into silence.

Soon after.

Yan caizhe stood up from the main seat and his gaze slowly swept across everyone’s faces. There was no change in his tone of voice, “”I believe everyone is clear about the news of the human Emperor’s death!”

The words fell.

Ming Jingshan cupped his hands. Lord Yan, although the human Emperor’s life is coming to an end, why did he die so quickly? before this, there was not a single bit of ominous news.

“That’s right. The human Emperor’s health has been very good in recent years. Why did he suddenly die?”

After Ming Jingshan spoke, other generals immediately voiced their doubts.

Even though the human Emperor’s lifespan was nearing its end ...

But his body was still strong.

There had never been any news of the Emperor being unwell.

A sudden death.

It really caught everyone off guard.

Upon hearing this.

Yan caizhe’s expression was serious as he said, ” I heard that the reason why the human Emperor went into closed-door cultivation this time around was to charge towards a higher cultivation level. In the end, he failed to break through and caused his life span to be exhausted. He vomited blood and died on the spot.

This news came from the Imperial Observatory, it can’t be fake.”

The Imperial astronomer!

They were supported by the human Emperor and were also the eyes and ears of the human Emperor who patrolled the world.

The news that spread from here.

It couldn’t be fake.

Moreover ...

Yan caizhe also had factions of power behind him. The news that they sent over was the same as the news that the Imperial astronomer sent to the world. They both indicated that the human Emperor had passed away.

At this point.

With a heavy expression, he paused for a moment before continuing, “”Now that the human Emperor has passed away and the Crown Prince has yet to be established, many princes will fight for the throne. It will definitely cause a storm of blood in the Imperial City.

”

“More importantly ...”

“Now that the Emperor has passed away, I’m afraid that the great Zhao will be shaken by the wind and rain!”
