Xia Palace.

In the Golden Palace.

The ministers all agreed, hoping that Emperor Xia would get rid of the jinx and bring Great Xia to prosperity.

The empire suffered a defeat in the war, but they pushed the responsibility to someone who was imprisoned in the cold palace. In Emperor Xia’s eyes, it was extremely ridiculous.

Emperor Xia had a cold expression as his eyes swept across the ministers. “Can killing Ye Xuan really change the situation in Xia? It’s not a single person who can change the fate of the empire, but the people of the empire.”

Wu Yinting replied, “Your Majesty, we can’t do anything about the will of the heavens. Getting rid of the jinx isn’t just a warning from the heavens. It’s also the request of the people, the will of the people.”

Emperor Xia was speechless.

Without evidence, they wanted him to kill his own child. Back then, there was no evidence either, and the ministers forced him to kill Empress Yu. Even though three years had passed, Emperor Xia still did not believe that the news of the defeat was leaked by Empress Yu.

All these years, he had never been to Tianwen Palace. It seemed that he had ignored Ye Xuan’s existence, but in fact, he had been protecting him.

Now that things had come to this, he seemed to be unable to continue protecting Ye Xuan.

At this moment, outside the hall, a figure descended from the sky. He was dressed in white and looked like a celestial being. The moment he appeared, all the officials in the hall looked at him with great respect.

It wasn’t hard to tell that this person’s status in Great Xia was very high.

To be able to fly within the palace was not something an ordinary person could do.

Emperor Xia’s gaze fell on the person who had arrived. “The master is here.”

Lin Mo replied, “Your Majesty, didn’t you want evidence? I’m here to deliver the evidence to you.”

Emperor Xia was speechless.

In the Great Xia Empire, Lin Mo was the most powerful person besides the royal family ancestors. He was the teacher of the Chang’an Academy and the former commander of the Directorate of Celestials. He was also known as the wise man.

Peeking at the creation of the heavens and earth, understanding the fate of the heavens.

Wu Yinting was his disciple.

Lin Mo stood in the long corridor outside the main hall. “Your Majesty, please come and take a look.”

Emperor Xia walked down from the seat of honor and led the officials to the long corridor. Lin Mo slowly raised his arm, and a terrifying cyclone appeared behind him. Silver light flickered on his fingertips.

“A Mingxuan expert.”

Emperor Xia was shocked. He had not expected Lin Mo’s cultivation to be at the Mingxuan level. It seemed that his realm had upgraded very quickly in the past few years.

Whizz.

Whizz.

Spirit stones appeared in the sky one after another, shooting straight up to the heavens. In an instant, a totem appeared, covering the sky. As the spirit stones turned into nothingness, the totem became clearer and clearer.

“Your Majesty, the natural phenomenon will reveal everything,” Lin Mo said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a black ray of light shot up from Tianwen Palace and entered the totem. The shadow of a black beast appeared. It was ferocious and terrifying. Then, a dragon shadow appeared from the totem and confronted the black beast.

This was…

The officials looked at the strange phenomenon in the void and were all shocked. Although they did not know what the strange phenomenon meant, they could clearly see that the black beast was swallowing the dragon shadow.

“Wild sparrow swallowing dragon!”

“Your Majesty,” Lin Mo said in a deep voice, “the deposed Crown Prince is the body of a wild sparrow and is plagued with misfortune. He must be eliminated. If the empire’s fate dragon is devoured, Great Xia will fall.

Emperor Xia looked at the strange phenomenon, his eyes filled with shock. Could it be that everything was true?

Seeing that the time was right, Wu Yinting hurriedly bowed. “Your Majesty, please issue a decree to kill the deposed Crown Prince.”

“Your Majesty, please issue a decree to kill the deposed Crown Prince.”

….

Emperor Xia fell silent, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, in Tianwen Palace.

Ye Xuan came to the courtyard, stood under the eaves, and looked at the strange phenomenon in the void. A system notification rang in his ears. “Ding, Master. Here’s a reminder. The check-in location has been refreshed — there’s a strange phenomenon in the void. Do you want to check in immediately?”

“I’ll check in immediately.”

Ye Xuan said without hesitation.

He would use the check-in opportunity whenever there was one, and he did not want to waste it.

“Ding, congratulations Master, you have successfully checked in to the strange phenomenon in the void. You have received the reward: the Golden Dragon of Providence.”

As the system’s notification fell, a dragon’s roar resounded through the nine Heavens and ten lands. On the totem of the wild sparrow swallowing the dragon, the black wild sparrow suddenly disappeared and was replaced by an extremely powerful golden dragon.

An infinite amount of golden light enveloped the sky above the Xia Palace. Everyone seemed to be bathed in divine light. The dragon’s might was everywhere, filling every inch of space.

Lin Mo’s eyes were filled with disbelief as he saw the change in the phenomenon. The terrifying golden light fell and sent him flying. He crashed hard into the giant pillar of the Golden Palace. A stream of blood spurted out of his mouth and splattered on the long corridor.

That was impossible.

That definitely impossible.

Emperor Xia’s gaze fell on the Golden Dragon of Providence. “Minister Wu, what is this phenomenon?”

Even if he did not know about celestial phenomena, he could recognize the Golden Dragon in front of him. With such a powerful Golden Dragon, who would dare to say that Emperor Xia’s fate would be devoured?

Wu Yinting was extremely terrified, and his heart filled with shock. The words that were at the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down…

The Golden Dragon soared through the nine heavens as if it was galloping through the clouds and waves. The next moment, it looked down, bringing with it endless divine light that fell into the Tianwen Palace, directly entering Ye Xuan’s body.

“Ding, congratulations Master, you have obtained the Golden Dragon Body Barrier.”

Outside the Golden Palace, Emperor Xia looked at the place where the Golden Dragon had disappeared and was instantly overjoyed. “Gao Ying, is the place where the Golden Dragon disappeared at the Tianwen Palace?”

Gao Ying was the chief eunuch of the Xia Palace, so he knew the entire Xia Palace like the back of his hand. “Your Majesty, it was the Tianwen Palace.”

Emperor Xia nodded. “My son is the son of a true dragon. Anyone who dares to call him a jinx will be executed.”

As he said this, he turned to look at Wu Yinting and said in a low voice, “Minister Wu, what was the strange phenomenon just now?”

Wu Yinting was terrified. “Your Majesty, the Golden Dragon that descended from the heavens is the symbol of the empire’s prosperity and its boundless history.”

“Your teacher is injured,” Emperor Xia said, “send him back to the academy!”

Wu Yinting bowed and hurriedly went forward to help Lin Mo up. The two of them walked out of the palace. Behind them, Emperor Xia’s voice came, “Summon Crown Prince Ye Xuan into the palace.

“From now on, the Directorate of Celestials will be abolished!”

Wu Yinting’s body trembled slightly. Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Lin Mo. “Let’s leave the Xia Palace first!”

…

The officials dispersed, and Emperor Xia returned to the Golden Palace.

He sat in front of the dragon table and muttered to himself, “Yu’er, our child is the son of the true dragon. We, father and son, will definitely find you and bring you back.”

As he finished speaking, he was immersed in endless memories.

At this moment, outside the Golden Palace.

An eagle’s cry was heard, and an eagle descended from the long corridor and appeared on Gao Ying’s arm. He took the letter from the eagle’s foot and quickly walked into the hall. “Your Majesty, there’s another military report from the north.”

Emperor Xia took the letter, opened it, and quickly read through it. “The sixth brother died in battle. The Northern Barbarian army has already captured three counties in the north.”

“Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is a Xiantian level ten cultivator. If a Grandmaster doesn’t show up, no one can defeat him.” Gao Ying quickly said.

Emperor Xia said, “The Northern Barbarians sent five Grandmasters, led 100,000 Tiger leopard cavalry, and 50,000 elephant armored troops. 52 generals of the Great Xia died in battle. The Northern Barbarian army pointed their swords at Chang’an.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “My three princes were buried in the battlefield, and 100,000 soldiers were wrapped in horse hide. No one could lead the army. It seems that I have to lead the army this time.”

“Your Majesty, there’s still Crown Prince Xuan,” Gao Ying said.

Emperor Xia sighed softly and shook his head. “Xuan’er… I can’t let him take the risk.”
