Immortal God of War-Chapter 940 - 898: Replacement, Night Raid on the Imperial Palace

Chapter 940: Chapter 898: Replacement, Night Raid on the Imperial Palace

"Another son is born?"

Qin Feiyang frowned.

Mu Qing was also somewhat surprised and laughed secretly, "Congratulations, you have another younger brother, and he is your full brother."

Qin Feiyang’s face darkened, and he thought to himself, "My mother’s status as Empress was revoked long ago, don’t you know?"

"Hmm?"

Mu Qing was slightly taken aback and smiled bitterly, "I really forgot, the current Empress seems to be the Eldest Prince’s mother?"

"Yes."

Qin Feiyang responded secretly.

Mu Qing’s eyes flickered, and he sent a message with a smile, "Then it seems no one can take her position as Empress."

For in the royal family, there is a saying.

A mother is honored by her son!

And now, all the descendants of the Emperor are princesses.

Princesses cannot inherit the throne.

Therefore.

The son born to the Emperor and Empress now must be the future Crown Prince.

If there are no accidents, he will definitely become the future emperor of the Great Qin Empire.

Qin Feiyang glanced at Mu Qing, a flash of coldness in his eyes, and said, "It’s too early to speak of these things now." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Then I’ll wait and see."

Mu Qing laughed secretly, then looked at the two Temple disciples and asked, "What is the name of this son?"

The short young man said, "It seems to be Qin Haotian, the same name as the Fourteenth Prince."

"Judging by the Emperor’s intentions, he plans to let this son completely replace Qin Feiyang."

"Because Qin Feiyang’s original name is Qin Haotian."

"Honestly, Qin Feiyang is quite pitiful."

"He was once the greatest prodigy of the Imperial Capital, overshadowing even the halo of Zhuge Mingyang."

"Moreover, he was the Prince most likely to inherit the throne, yet now he’s fallen to this point, truly a pity!"

The tall young man sighed as well.

"Replace me!"

Qin Feiyang clenched his fists, a terrifying gleam in his eyes.

Even though he no longer uses the name Qin Haotian, the Emperor’s actions made him feel deep resentment and fury!

The short young man said, "I also heard that the Emperor created a new Bright Sky Palace for this son."

"What?"

The fury in Qin Feiyang’s heart almost exploded.

Not only did they give him a name identical to his, but they also created a new Bright Sky Palace; this was more than replacement, it was downright humiliation!

Beside him, Mu Qing did not comfort Qin Feiyang. Instead, he had a playful smirk at the corner of his mouth.

Because it was easy to imagine that Qin Feiyang now surely felt like killing someone but had to hold back.

He loved to see Qin Feiyang trapped in such a predicament.

But he was disappointed.

Qin Feiyang quickly composed himself, looked at the two, and asked, "Is there any change in the layout of the Temple now?"

"What change could there be with the Temple?"

"The Elixir Palace and Martial Palace are still controlled by the sons of the various Marquises."

"However, several people have risen quickly in recent years, almost threatening those on the Elixir Expert List and Martial God List."

The two replied.

"Who?"

Qin Feiyang was puzzled.

"Lu Xingchen, Ren Wushuang, Shen Mei, Dong Zhengyang, Tan Wu, Wan Chou, Ling Yu, Lo Dan, Zhao Yu, Feng Ranran, Fengg Wuxie, Xuening, Xueruo."

"These people all entered the Imperial Capital with Qin Feiyang, and they are all from the nine states."

"We originally thought only Qin Feiyang was terrifying, but unexpectedly, each of these people is more talented than the last."

The two frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Wan Chou is still alive?"

Qin Feiyang was surprised.

This guy is really resilient!

However.

If Ren Wushuang and Shen Mei, having grown over the years, could threaten those on the Elixir Expert List and Martial God List, he could believe it.

After all, both had opened the Door of Potential.

And Lu Xingchen was mysterious, so he could be considered separately.

But people like Tan Wu and Wan Chou, although talented, couldn’t have possibly grown so much in a few years.

What exactly is the reason?

While Qin Feiyang pondered, Mu Qing looked at the two and asked, "Is Lu Xingchen still in the Temple now?"

"No."

The short young man shook his head.

"Hmm?"

Mu Qing’s pupils shrank, and he asked, "Then where is he now?"

"We don’t know either."

"Last night, at midnight, the State Preceptor suddenly descended upon the Temple with the Law Enforcers and took Lu Xingchen, Shen Mei, Ren Wushuang, and Dong Zhengyang away."

The short young man said.

Mu Qing suddenly turned to look at Qin Feiyang, sending a message saying, "You liar!"

"Did I lie to you?"

Qin Feiyang looked at him innocently.

"You told me Lu Xingchen was already imprisoned in the Celestial Prison, but now they say he was only captured last night, and you still say you didn’t lie?"

Mu Qing said angrily.

Qin Feiyang said, "I wasn’t wrong. Now he’s definitely in the Celestial Prison."

"Hmph!"

Mu Qing snorted coldly in secret and asked, "What do you suggest we do next?"

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment and said, "We can only try to sneak into the back mountain of the Imperial Palace to see if we can get into the Celestial Prison."

"Not to mention the back mountain, even the front gate of the Imperial Palace is beyond our current abilities to sneak into."

Mu Qing said solemnly.

"Brothers, these matters are not really secrets; everyone in the Imperial Capital basically knows, just that they dare not discuss it."

"So why do you seem to know nothing about it?"

The two Temple disciples looked at Qin Feiyang and Mu Qing suspiciously.

Qin Feiyang smiled lightly and said, "We’ve been training in the deep mountains all these years and haven’t inquired about outside affairs."

"I see!"

They nodded in understanding.

Next.

Qin Feiyang and Mu Qing continued to drink with the two and got many other pieces of information.

...

Night!

The bustling major districts gradually quieted down.

In the middle of the night.

In the sky, a waning moon hung high, occasionally obscured by a drifting dark cloud, casting a deep gloom over the land.

Inner city!

In a certain alley, two shadowy figures swiftly traversed the night, silently and unnoticed.

The inner city did not have the bustling marketplaces.

Because.

The Temple and the mansions of the major Marquises all resided in the inner city.

So the nights in the inner city were quieter than the ten major outer districts.

And those two shadowy figures were precisely Qin Feiyang and Mu Qing.

The two passed through the alley into a broad street flanked by rows of lush big trees.

They hurried forward, hidden in the shadows of the trees.

Moments later!

Qin Feiyang suddenly stopped, standing behind a tree, gazing across the street.

Across the way, there was a grand, imposing gate.

Behind the gate was an expansive mansion.

At the gate.

Two large lanterns hung, emitting bright candlelight.

Through the candlelight, one could clearly see a plaque crafted of gold above the gate.

Engraved on it were three powerful and bold characters.

——Martial Marquis Qian!

On either side of the gate, four guards stood upright, exuding formidable auras.

"What’s wrong?"

Mu Qing stopped, glanced at the mansion opposite, then looked at Qin Feiyang with suspicion.

"Nothing."

"I just remembered some past events."

Qin Feiyang shook his head and continued forward.

The Martial Marquis Qian was not unfamiliar to him at all.

In the past.

The Martial Marquis Qian set a trap, inviting him to the mansion, and finally, they had a falling out.

It was Lu Xingchen who came to rescue him.

With Lu Xingchen’s help, they even killed the Marquis’s son, Feng Yun.

And to take revenge on the Marquis, they deliberately sent Feng Yun’s body back to him.

At that time, the Marquis was infuriated.

Even now, the Marquis probably hates him to the bone!

But a mere Marquis, he didn’t pay much attention to him.

Although the major Marquises have high status in the Great Qin Empire, their overall strength isn’t very strong.

Some Marquis residences are even weaker than those of the super families.

The reason they could hold such high status in the inner city is purely due to their ancestral merits.

Their ancestors accompanied the first-generation emperor in conquering the world.

About an hour later.

Qin Feiyang and Mu Qing traversed the inner city, stopping behind a big tree to gaze forward.

Ahead lay a spacious street, and across it was a vast, brightly lit square, yet deserted.

At the end of the square was a tall black city wall.

The wall, entirely pitch-black, soared dozens of meters high, emitting a chilling aura like a black serpent extending to the horizon at both ends.

In the center of the square stood a city gate, with two grand characters above it.

——Imperial Palace!

Indeed.

This was the great gate of the Imperial Palace!

But at this moment, the gate was tightly shut, with ten black-armored guards standing on either side.

They were the Black Iron Army!

Judging from their auras, all were War Saints!

Moreover, on the city wall above, a Black Iron soldier appeared every five meters.

At the top center of the gate, one could clearly see a burly man sitting cross-legged.

He wore black battle armor as well, but the aura he exuded was several times stronger than the other Black Iron soldiers!

"See that? With such tight security, it’s impossible for us, two living human beings, let alone a fly, to get in."

Mu Qing scanned the Imperial Palace gate and spoke solemnly.

Qin Feiyang was silent, staring at the burly man.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Mu Qing frowned, following his gaze, then shuddered slightly and thought, "Who is he?"

"The Deputy Commander of the Black Iron Army."

Qin Feiyang said.

Mu Qing rubbed his forehead, saying, "With the Deputy Commander personally guarding the Imperial Palace gate, sneaking in is even less likely."

"You’re right, sneaking in is impossible, we need another strategy."

Qin Feiyang whispered.

The guards at the Imperial Palace gate weren’t the scariest, the entrance to the back mountain was.

Because the entrance was guarded by the Kylin Army.

The Kylin Army was stronger than the Black Iron Army.

"Kylin Army..."

Suddenly.

Qin Feiyang seemed to think of something, a gleam of contemplation in his eyes.

"I’ve got an idea."

Moments later.

Qin Feiyang retracted his gaze, turning to Mu Qing with a smile.

"What idea?"

Mu Qing looked at him expectantly.

"Apart from the Emperor and the State Preceptor, the Great Commander and the Deputy Commander of the Kylin Army can also freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace’s back mountain."

"And they don’t need to report to anyone."

"If we can persuade one of them, entering the back mountain would be easy."

Qin Feiyang transmitted.
