Chapter 89 - 89 The Sneaky Bastard Behind the Scenes
89 The Sneaky Bastard Behind the Scenes
Wei Chengyin looked on coldly at Wei Changtian’s monstrous anger.
Ever since his Taixuan Sword Bone had been dug out and he had been driven out of the Li Dynasty’s imperial capital to fend for his own, he had no longer regarded Wei Changtian as his father, and he had no feelings for him at all.
If not for his worry that his recklessness would affect Lin Wudao’s plan, he would have suppressed Wei Changtian immediately to vent the pain and torture he had suffered all these years.
“Wei Changtian, there’s no longer any father and son relationship between us. If you want to kill me, just come at me. I’ll be waiting for you in Orchid Palace.”
Orchid Palace was the palace of Wei Chengyin’s mother.
In the past, after his Taixuan Sword Bone was dug out, his mother, Concubine Lan, had been immediately sentenced to death.
Wei Chengyin had always remembered this grudge.
And now, he had finally returned to the imperial capital of the Li Dynasty. Those who had caused him pain and humiliation before would suffer his craziest revenge.
When he thought of this, Wei Chengyin ignored Wei Changtian’s rage and ferocity. He picked up the battle puppet on the ground and left Heaven’s Hall with Cao Jin and Zhou Fengtian.
“Detestable! This damned unfilial son!”
Bang!
Wei Changtian’s face flushed as he watched Wei Chengyin swagger away. He could no longer suppress the monstrous anger in his heart, and his dignified face was filled with ferocity.
The jade teacup on the table was smashed to the ground by him.
Then, in his endless fury, he began to smash the things in Heaven’s Hall madly.
It was as if this was the only way he could vent the anger and humiliation in his heart.
Wei Changtian only came to his senses after a long time.
Whoosh!
He sat back sullenly on the throne, full of helplessness.
“Mr. Yin, you’re the best at divinity and you’re also well-versed in the secrets of heaven. You can see through everything in the world. Can you tell me how to kill the rebel Lin Wudao?”
Wei Changtian’s eyes shone with hope.
Upon hearing this, Yin Siming’s expression was calm and unchanging.
“Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth or lies?”
“The truth, of course,” Wei Changtian answered without hesitation.
His expression was urgent.
Yin Siming’s origin was extremely mysterious, and even now, he was unable to find any information about him.
Other than that, his methods and abilities were also extraordinary.
According to Wei Changtian’s understanding, Yin Siming could predict the fate of all living beings in the world with just his dharma eyes. He had the ability to predict the future and avoid disaster.
All these years, under his guidance, Wei Changtian had not only ascended to the supreme position of the Emperor of the Li Dynasty, but he had also cultivated smoothly to the final stage of the Tribulation Transcendence realm.
It could be said that his current achievements were all thanks to Yin Siming’s help.
Without Yin Siming, he would not be the Wei Changtian he was now.
He had always respected Yin Siming as a god. He had never questioned his words.
Therefore, Wei Changtian was eager to get his advice to kill Lin Wudao, the traitor.
However, facing his anxious eyes, Yin Siming was extremely nonchalant.
“Since Your Majesty wants to hear the truth, then I’ll be direct. I see that Your Majesty’s luck has been greatly reduced. Not long from now, there might be a bloody disaster. If you want to resolve this, you can pass the throne to the eighteenth Prince, Wei Chengyin, and only then can you live for another ten years.”
What? A bloody disaster? Pass the throne to that unfilial son Wei Chengyin, only to live for another ten years?
Boom!
Hearing this, Wei Changtian felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him, and his mind went blank.
In the depths of his heart, boundless fear surged.
“Mr. Yin, are you trying to scare me?” He laughed with difficulty.
At this moment, he seemed to think that Yin Siming was just playing a joke on him.
“Your Majesty, you don’t believe me?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but… I am the ruler of the Li dynasty, and I carry the fate of the entire dynasty. How could I not be able to defeat a rebel? It’s even more impossible to pass the position to Wei Chengyin. He’s just a cripple! What right and ability does he have to rule the Li Dynasty?!”
Wei Changtian was furious.
He was too proud to accept Yin Siming’s words.
To this, Yin Siming’s expression was indifferent.
“Your Majesty, although the relationship between you and the eighteenth Prince is like water and fire, there’s still a chance to save it. If you really want to turn the situation around, you must first stabilize Lin Wudao. First, announce to the world that Wei Chengyin will return to the imperial family and enjoy all the glory and treatment of a Prince.”
“Second, don’t act rashly for now. Your Majesty, you can find a way to invite powerhouses to guard the Li Dynasty or kill Lin Wudao. If it really doesn’t work, then pass on the position to Wei Chengyin and protect yourself. You’re his biological father, after all. He won’t really kill you,” Yin Siming said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changtian furrowed his brows as if he was thinking about Yin Siming’s words.
After a long time, he sighed helplessly, “Everything will go according to your words. First, we’ll stabilize Lin Wudao and Wei Chengyin.”
“Someone come,” He called for the eunuch who was waiting outside the hall.
“Pass on my decree. From today onwards, the 18th Prince, Wei Chengyin, will be reinstated as a member of the imperial family. All of his privileges as a Prince will be restored. Everything that happened in the past is my fault. Announce it to the world that I have recognized my sin in Heaven’s Hall today.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” A eunuch bowed and acknowledged the order.
He then respectfully retreated and went to draft the decree.
“Sir, can I trouble you to make a trip to Wei Chengyin’s place? After all, he has a terrifying battle puppet in his hands. If he goes berserk, I’m afraid…”
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I’ll go over now,” Yin Siming gently nodded.
Then, he immediately stood up and walked out of Heaven’s Hall step by step, heading towards Orchid Palace.
“The only thing I can do now is to invite the experts from the Xuantian Sect,” Wei Changtian frowned and sighed.
The Li Dynasty was dependent on the Xuantian Sect.
Perhaps, only the powerhouses of the Xuantian Sect could kill Lin Wudao.
Thinking of this, he immediately summoned a shadow guard and ordered the shadow guard to immediately head to the Xuantian Sect with his distress letter.
Yin Siming’s words made Wei Changtian feel a great sense of danger.
However, Wei Changtian didn’t know that Yin Siming, who he trusted the most, had already sold him out.
Whoosh!
As soon as the shadow guard walked out of the Li Dynasty’s imperial capital, Yin Siming’s figure appeared in front of him and killed him with a single finger.
Not even his corpse was left.
After that, Yin Siming returned to the imperial capital as if nothing had happened.
..
Orchid Palace was not too far from Heaven’s Hall.
When Yin Siming arrived, Wei Chengyin was staring at a portrait of a woman in the hall, lost in thought. His eyes revealed a strong sense of reminiscence and nostalgia.
“Your Highness, the Imperial Advisor is here,” Cao Jin reminded in a low voice.
Hmm? The Imperial Advisor?
Wei Chengyin, who was reminiscing about the beautiful past, immediately jolted back to reality. He turned around and saw Yin Siming’s mysterious figure.
In an instant, a strong sense of wariness and fear emerged in his eyes.
He had heard of this mysterious Imperial Advisor’s reputation since young.
“May I know what brings the Imperial Advisor here?” Wei Chengyin asked carefully.
When he was facing Yin Siming, he could not help but be flustered. The person in front of him gave him great pressure.
“Your Highness, there’s no need to be nervous. I’m simply here to give your Highness some ideas.”
What? Give him some ideas? What ideas?
Wei Chengyin’s face was blank.
“What do you mean, Imperial Advisor?”
“I mean what I said, of course. Your Highness, don’t you want to become the Emperor of the Li Dynasty? I’m here to help Your Highness achieve your wish as soon as possible. Just now, I’ve already helped you regain the official status of the Li Dynasty’s imperial family, Your Highness. You’ll enjoy all the honor and treatment of a Prince, and Wei Changtian has already issued an edict to announce it to the world. In addition, the shadow guard he sent to the Xuantian Sect for help has been killed by me. Your Highness, you don’t have to worry about being threatened by external forces. With me here, I can guarantee Your Highness’s safety,” Yin Siming said with a smile.
Ha!
Hearing his words, Wei Chengyin was not happy at all. Instead, his expression was unusually grave.
“Why did the Imperial Advisor help me?”
“Because I have faith in you.”
“Ah, just this?”
Wei Chengyin was in disbelief. He did not think that there was anything about him that was worthy of Yin Siming’s special attention.
“You’re too kind, Imperial Advisor. I’m just a cripple who was lucky enough to be favored by the governor, so I can speak with conviction in front of Wei Changtian. Without the governor, I’m nothing. The Imperial Advisor has placed high hopes on me, but I’m afraid you’ve found the wrong person,” He said in a self-deprecating manner.
Upon hearing this, Yin Siming smiled.
“Indeed, everything you have came from Governor Lin. He is the most important person in your life. It is also because of him that I have high hopes for you.”
So that was how it was. Wei Chengyin finally understood.
Yin Siming was not interested in him, but in Lin Wudao who was behind him.
