Chapter 886: Chapter 248: East Crossing! Father and Son

Although the Human Emperor is indifferent, by now, many high-ranking individuals vaguely know... the Human Emperor may not have much longer to live.

Even though the Human Emperor is fearless, what about after the Human Emperor?

The tyranny of the Iron-blooded Monarch, even if it doesn’t bring retribution in this life, will certainly do so in the afterlife.

The world is in turmoil, and if the center of power is shaken again, it may not be a good thing.

Then...

The Gao Family member who advised was ordered by the Human Emperor to have his entire family killed and exiled.

Evidently, several noble families secretly sought out this Princess of Central Capital to help plead for mercy.

And the Princess of Central Capital actually came.

Such was the origin of the matter.

At this moment, upon hearing this, the Human Emperor instantly understood the cause and effect, but this time he did not immediately agree.

He had seen white bones piled up like mountains outside Central Capital, seen the hellish scenes of the Human World outside Central Capital;

He also knew that the cause of everything lay in the ominous cloud still merging beneath him;

He awaited the arrival of change within the Human Race, hoping to support that change to see if it could establish a foundation for ten thousand generations, but nothing was gained, there was simply no change.

His head hurt more and more, sometimes he couldn’t even stay lucid, and his emotions were becoming increasingly extreme, with a deep hatred for those officials who dared to embezzle disaster relief.

Because he knew that a slight embezzlement by an official would lead to countless imitations, and result in countless unnecessary corpses and tragedies.

So whenever there was a gap, he would seal it; whenever someone dared to do it, he would dare to kill; he would kill all those who pleaded for mercy, not just to kill, he wanted to kill openly and publicly, so that everyone could see, so that everyone would be too afraid to do it again.

But would anyone truly be grateful to him?

No, they would not.

Noble families would not, officials would not.

Would the common people?

The common people would not either.

The common people would only know of natural disasters and human calamities, of the Emperor’s tyranny.

But what does that matter?

Yet he did not say any of this to the young girl in front of him, only after a long silence in the eyes of outsiders, did he indulgently ruffle the head of the Princess of Central Capital, and said, "Granted."

As soon as these two words fell, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and Feng Yun beside them all involuntarily gasped, too shocked to speak.

After today, all the noble families in the world would know whom to seek when trouble arises...

Your Majesty, are you making the entire world owe this young lady a debt?

Indeed, nowadays, wherever the Princess of Central Capital goes, she is hailed as the "Little Bodhisattva."

...

...

The reason the Human Emperor agreed is because he learned something.

Empress Dowager Xie and Aunt Yu will conceal their identities this year and secretly head to the East Sea Immortal Realm, to cultivate the Xie Family’s martial arts.

And over there in the East Sea, it seems arrangements have long been in place.

Empress Dowager Xie did not hide this from the Human Emperor, only mentioned that someone had made arrangements, and that even the hidden sects associated with the Xie Family in the East Sea Immortal Realm had been found and contact had been established.

The Human Emperor naturally trusted that person’s methods.

He had no reason to hinder his birth mother.

But he also knew that the cultivation of the Longevity Species might take a very long time, so long that once gone, it would be a final farewell.

His condition was worsening, and he didn’t know if he could see his birth mother again.

Even though his birth mother did not like him, even though he was unable to express the familial affection in his heart, she was still his birth mother, and how could a mother leave her son without worry?

Fortunately, the Human Emperor had long been arranging in the Immortal Realm, although not as exaggerated as Li Yuan, he had also secretly sent many people over to join the Major Sects.

The Human Emperor originally intended to "plant an eye" overseas to gain insight, and now that his mother was going over, he decided to turn all these forces over to his mother.

Empress Dowager Xie accepted it willingly.

But Xiaozhen would not go to the East Sea with the Xie Family sisters.

The East Sea is not a place fit for mortals to live;

While Central Capital is the place where Xiaozhen can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor.

Xiaozhen and the Human Emperor are very different, as one cannot cultivate and the other is the best in the world.

Yet they are alike in that neither has a long life expectancy.

Having such a relative, whom else would the Human Emperor spoil?

Moreover, he began to sense his own issues, hoping for such a relative to help him "rein in" before it’s too late, preventing him from falling into the abyss and completely losing control.

...

...

Mid-year.

Xiaozhen learned of her mother’s departure.

But Xiaozhen had grown up, and after crying for a while, she accepted the arrangement.

...

...

East Sea.

Li Ping’an dispatched clones repeatedly to explore that mysterious ancient hall, only to be severely injured each time, and then treated with herbal baths again and again.

He gradually became a constant presence beside the Sect Leader of Mu Xuan Sect, and the Sect Leader of Mu Xuan Sect, along with other Sect Leaders and the Sect Leader of Supreme Profound Sect, often gazed at the distant mysterious ancient hall, pondering how to enter it.

Even when other elders dispersed, these four Sect Leaders and the Sect Leader often kept Li Ping’an by their side.

Inadvertently, Li Ping’an seemed to become the sixth seat of the Supreme Profound Sect.

Seeing Li Ping’an’s potential and hard work, the Supreme Profound Sect did not treat him unfairly, providing him with the best of everything.

Li Ping’an also became a rising star in the East Sea Immortal Realm, both in power and capability.

Leveraging his influence, Li Ping’an started to network, establishing himself as the leader of the newcomers, and safely sending them off to various places.

Of course, he was also probing, paving the way for the future arrival of Sixth Lady and Seventh Lady.

And by the end of last year, he finally found and opened the path to the "hidden sect corresponding to the Xie Family."

The hidden influence corresponding to the Xie Family is called "Celestial Wind Sect."

Cuiyun Mountain, Celestial Wind Sect, is also quite a renowned hidden influence.
