Chapter 189 - Cheng'an Abdicates
Chapter 189: Chapter 189, Cheng’an Abdicates
The flying dagger flew toward Princess Changning’s chest with the force of a thunderbolt. This was an attack with 120% true force. The golden light whistled through the air as if it was carrying the sound of wind and thunder! It happened too fast!
Princess Changning’s fingers stabbed forward like a sword, and everything around her seemed to slow down. Her two fingers and the tip of the flying knife collided with each other.
Immediately after, the sharp sword intent broke the tip of the knife and stabbed into the knife like it was breaking tofu. The knife rolled up and separated into two sides until it penetrated the entire flying dagger. The sword’s intent did not lose momentum as it stabbed toward Lana’s chest. However, Lana was prepared for it. The sword in her hand immediately blocked Princess Changning’s path.
Clang! Clang! The two fingers clashed with the sword, and sparks were actually ignited, dazzling and dazzling in the dark night.
“Sacrifice!”
Lana knew that she would definitely lose if this continued. She could only activate sacrifice and take one last gamble!
“It’s finally being used. This time, I’ll have to watch it more carefully.” He Chuan crossed his arms and looked at the so-called sacrifice with interest.
Back then, Jue Lengxin had forcefully used this move to increase his cultivation level. He wondered what was so different about Lana’s sacrifice.
The seven extraterrestrial beauties knelt on the ground and raised their hands toward the scales as if they were performing some sacrifice. Their faces were filled with piousness.
A red aura that was visible to the naked eye began to emanate from Lana’s body. It hovered above her head, and her aura became more and more unstable as if she was about to go crazy at any moment.
It was similar to when Qarhan Buroq went berserk as if he would lose his mind.
The true energy of the seven Western beauties was continuously injected into Lana’s body. However, unlike before, the true energy no longer circulated in and out of her body. Instead, it was all for Lana to use.
Soon, the seven beauties’ hair turned white, and their bodies were all skin and bones, no different from mummies.
Their life force was gradually being cut off!
Cheng’an felt nauseated when he saw their miserable state.
The beauty who was still whispering sweet nothings to each other just now had turned into a dried corpse in the blink of an eye. Anyone would feel very uncomfortable.
“Hahaha! You actually watched This Princess complete the sacrifice. I don’t know if I should call you confident or stupid!” Lana sensed the powerful aura within her body as she laughed wildly in a highly arrogant manner.
She had instantly risen from a first-stage saint cultivator to the peak of a third-stage saint cultivator.
Lana felt He Chuan was, at most a third-stage saint cultivator and was no match for her.
“Not bad. You’ve increased by two levels, and you seem to be able to maintain your consciousness. You’re stronger than Jue Lengxin and Qarhan Buroq!” He Chuan knew that people who accepted the power of gods and demons activated different forms of power.
Some of them would turn into monsters like Jue Lengxin or lose their minds like Qarhan Buroq, and some would end up like Lana.
Not only did it increase her strength, but it also maintained her original appearance and rationality.
“I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about. Today, This Princess will take your lives!” Lana couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath. She had to make them die with her subordinates!
The heaven’s bane five thunder fist struck out once again. The sky and earth instantly changed color. Dark clouds faintly gathered above her head, and lightning flashed as if it could trigger heavenly tribulation.
Princess Changning couldn’t help but take two steps back. The current Lana was terrifyingly strong. Even with He Chuan’s true energy, she wasn’t a match for her.
At this moment, He Chuan moved!
It was as if his entire being had transcended space and appeared beside Lana out of thin air. He grabbed her fair neck with one hand!
Lana’s incomparably powerful aura instantly disappeared.
“Go to hell and repent with the innocent!” After He Chuan finished speaking, he directly broke the other party’s neck.
The people present were instantly dumbfounded. They didn’t expect things to turn out like this!
A peak third-stage saint cultivator was killed as quickly as crushing an ant.
Then what kind of terrifying realm was He Chuan in?
General Qin led the Imperial Guards in and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lana was already dead.
“Cheng’an, Master, let’s go in and talk.” Princess Changning was even more nervous because she didn’t know what to say next. She had to ask her brother to abdicate.
In the Governance Hall.
The atmosphere was very strange.
He Chuan held the fragrant tea that Princess Changning had served, and his eyes swept over the crowd.
Fang Yuanqing sized up the decorations in the hall. The entertainment tools were placed at the side, and the women’s clothes were scattered on the ground, but there was no time to clean them up.
The symbol of the Zhou Dynasty’s diligent government had become so filthy.
This made him even more determined.
“Your Majesty, please abdicate your position!” Fang Yuanqing led the way and knelt down!
Cheng’an had initially wanted to express his feelings, but he had not expected to be forced to abdicate.
“Are you guys thinking of rebelling?” He slammed the table in anger and questioned the officials.
He Chuan was also stunned by this. He had thought it would be over after teaching Cheng’an a lesson, but now he was asking Cheng’an to abdicate.
He turned to look at Princess Changning and instantly understood something.
“Your Majesty, it’s not that we want to rebel. Please ask yourself in front of everyone if you still have the heart to continue managing the court.” Fang Yuanqing asked.
It was like those gamblers who were addicted to gambling. They always said it was the last round, but they still couldn’t help but sink into it until they lost everything.
Since Cheng’an was no longer in the mood for politics, staying on the throne would do no good to the Zhou Dynasty.
“This Emperor…” Cheng’an had wanted to refute, but he turned to look at He Chuan and remembered that he was still holding the Golden Mace in his hand if he couldn’t do it well.
“Your Majesty need not worry. I will not support them, and the court matters have nothing to do with me. However, if you dare to make another mistake, don’t blame me for not considering our past relations. Otherwise, I will be disobeying the Late Emperor’s orders!” He Chuan didn’t help either side. Whether Cheng’an continued to rule or Princess Changning became the Empress was a matter of the Imperial Court.
“If your Majesty wants to live a carefree life, why not be an Idle Prince? You can take away all the beauties you like in the palace. As long as you don’t cause trouble, I believe the Eldest Princess will not control you.” The old fox Fang Yuanqing continued to tempt him.
Since He Chuan was not going to interfere, everything was fine.
If this nine-thousand-year-old insisted on protecting the current Emperor, there was nothing they could do.
Cheng’an hesitated.
He was more inclined to enjoy himself with beauty now.
However, he couldn’t bear to give up his power as the Emperor!
He Chuan sighed in his heart. Fang Yuanqing was also giving him the last chance.
As long as Cheng’an firmly chose to rule, there would still be a chance. If he still hesitated when faced with a choice, then there would be no more chance.
Because Cheng’an could no longer be a good Emperor who was diligent and loved his people.
Princess Changning closed her eyes in disappointment. She hoped her brother would firmly say he would turn over a new leaf and make a clean break with the past.
Even so, she would not have accepted the position. But because of Fang Yuanqing’s words, she became hesitant. Who would believe that Cheng’an could still be a good Emperor?
“Since you’ve already made your choice, why don’t you take advantage of the situation?” Seeing that things were deadlocked, He Chuan added fuel to the fire.
“This Emperor is willing to abdicate the throne and let Imperial Sister Changning rule the country in the future!” Cheng’an didn’t have the confidence to be a wise ruler, so he might as well live a carefree life.
