Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 124: Siege on Changeable Mansion_1

"Prime Minister, go and ask the Crown Prince what just happened!"

At the top of the ninety-nine steps, the Emperor of Qin spoke these words before turning and returning to the Imperial Hall. Once his back was to the court, his dignified expression subtly shifted. Qin Wudao’s rise brought him both joy and pressure. He knew he had to make a choice—for himself, and for the Qin Empire.

"Sigh!"

Li Si sighed, bowed towards the Emperor’s retreating figure, and descended the imperial steps.

The strange atmosphere made the remaining officials exchange glances. Seeing the empty imperial throne within the Imperial Hall, they had no choice but to depart.

Thus, this court assembly ended so abruptly.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Li Si went straight to the East Palace to meet Qin Wudao. It seemed Qin Wudao already knew of his visit and had tea prepared in advance.

The faint aroma of tea wafted through the hall, inexplicably calming the agitation in one’s heart.

"Prime Minister, how is His Majesty?" Qin Wudao asked with a smile, seated in the main position.

"Your Highness, His Majesty... is well!"

Faced with this question, Li Si hesitated, unsure how to respond. He quickly changed the subject. Bowing, he asked, "Your Highness, my visit this time is to understand what the expert who cast the spell just now did to the Imperial Capital."

He had so many questions in his heart! For instance, why would a mountain move? Furthermore, why would the Imperial Capital suddenly rise and float high in the air?

"He altered the Feng Shui of the Imperial Capital," Qin Wudao explained. "For the next half month, its Spiritual Energy and Fortune will continuously increase. Additionally, nine dragon spirits will protect it, capable of defending against Saint King Realm Martial Artists."

Li Si was completely stunned. To enhance Spiritual Energy and Fortune, and even defend against Saint King Realm Martial Artists, simply by altering Feng Shui? This sounded like a fantasy! But reason told him it was all true.

"Your Highness, are you absolutely certain?" Li Si asked again, his voice trembling.

Seeing the Prime Minister—second only to one, yet above tens of thousands—lose his composure in this way, Qin Wudao couldn’t help but chuckle, though he understood. He nodded with a smile.

Once confirmed, Li Si was overjoyed. With this Feng Shui arrangement, the Qin Empire’s destiny could be secured for a million years! As a loyal courtier of the Qin Empire, how could he not be excited?

"Your Highness, I shall take my leave now to report this news to His Majesty!"

Li Si stood up, bowed slightly, and strode towards the hall’s exit. Just as he was about to step out, he paused. "Your Highness, I believe you and His Majesty should have a proper talk!"

After saying that, he quickly left, disappearing around the corner.

Should we have a talk? Qin Wudao murmured to himself, gazing up at the ceiling, feeling a bit lost.

"Your Highness, at this point, not contending is, in itself, a form of contending. There is no need to overthink or do anything!"

At this moment, Jia Xu emerged from the rear hall, speaking with a smile. His deep eyes glinted, like an unfathomable abyss.

To contend is an attitude. Not to contend is also an attitude. He could tell that Qin Wudao did not want to harm the Emperor, which ruled out a bloody coup. The next step was simply to see when the Emperor would relinquish power.

"It seems this is the only way," Qin Wudao said, waving his hand dismissively. He then asked in a firm voice, "What is the situation on the front line?"

Jia Xu’s expression turned serious as he reported, "Your Highness, Generals Zhao Yun and Lv Bu have already led their armies to attack the Changeable Territory from two directions. A great battle is imminent! However, according to intelligence from the Hidden Guard, the Changeable Mansion is actively mobilizing its forces, their morale high. There are also rumors that the Impermanence Saint has broken through to the Great Saint Level!"

As he said this, a trace of worry appeared on his face. Every minor realm within the Saint Realm represented a vast difference in power. Individuals capable of fighting across such levels were exceedingly rare.

"I have already dispatched Wang Yangming to the Changeable Territory. He will intervene at critical moments. Besides, I have faith in Zhao Yun and Lv Bu. They can surely defeat the Impermanence Saint!" Qin Wudao said casually, expressing his complete trust in Zhao Yun and Lv Bu’s combat prowess.

"Your Highness is wise!" Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.

「Changeable Territory.」

To the southwest, Lv Bu led a mighty army, their momentum like a rainbow, with an imposing aura as if a tiger roared across the land, capable of swallowing the universe. Consecutive victories had filled all Qin soldiers with confidence for the upcoming battles.

They all believed that under Lv Bu’s leadership, they could overcome any enemy.

"Impermanence Saint, this day next year will be your death anniversary!" Lv Bu stood at the front of the army, staring into the distance and roaring in a low voice. An endless murderous aura erupted from him, a blood-red light shooting skyward, causing onlookers’ hearts to race.

He had heard that the Impermanence Saint had broken through to the Great Saint Level! But so what? Kill!

To the southeast of the Changeable Territory, another elite army advanced, like a winding dragon coiling upon the earth. Their steps were orderly, right hands resting on their weapons, as if in the next moment they could soar like a dragon for thousands of miles, unleashing earth-shattering combat power to slaughter the world.

"Pass the order! Strike directly at their core! Attack the Changeable Mansion’s headquarters!" Zhao Yun commanded. Mounted on his white horse, he resembled a prince from a fairy tale—handsome and dashing. The only discrepancy was his indifferent expression, devoid of any emotion.

"KILL! KILL! KILL!"

The fifty-thousand-strong army roared in unison, their imposing aura erupting like a sharp sword cleaving the heavens, splitting the world in two.

Clouds within a radius of dozens of miles were dispersed by this aura! Animals within hundreds of miles prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.

Meanwhile, at the Changeable Mansion’s stronghold within the Changeable Territory.

Countless disciples of the Changeable Mansion, dressed in black and white, bustled about on Male Mountain. They held their weapons, faces filled with murderous intent, eagerly awaiting the coming battle.

There was no hesitation!

There was no fear!

Only absolute determination and an intense desire for battle!

They were determined to protect the Changeable Mansion, to protect the land that had nurtured them.

However, the strangest thing was that the entire Changeable Mansion contained only disciples. There was not a single elder, nor any powerhouse who had reached the Saint Realm, to oversee the situation.

For the foremost power among the Nine Great Dao Domains, such a scene was exceedingly inappropriate.

"Ancestor, the entire mansion is seething with fighting spirit! It has been many years since we’ve seen such a scene!" Within the colossal black hall suspended atop the mountain peak, Zhang Zehan remarked with a smile, a black light swirling in his eyes.

"After we eliminate the Qin Empire, the Nine Great Dao Domains should also be unified!" the Impermanence Saint declared, hands clasped behind his back. His voice was like a sword as he spoke with fervent intensity.

After leaving the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect and returning to the Changeable Mansion, he had initiated a sinister plan. He used the flesh and blood of the Changeable Mansion’s experts, along with celestial treasures accumulated by the Changeable Mansion over hundreds of thousands of years, to set up a Seal Spirit Formation. Through this, he finally broke through to the Great Saint Level.

This breakthrough in strength had dispelled all his previous worries. He no longer paid any mind to the Qin Empire, which he had once considered a formidable enemy.

A Great Saint’s cultivation was enough to roam ordinary Dao Domains freely. Even in King-level Dao Domains, where experts were as numerous as clouds and Saints as common as rain, such a cultivator could still dominate a region. He didn’t believe the Qin Empire possessed anyone capable of threatening a Great Saint!
