The Holy Maiden Uncovers My Coffin When I Just Become An Emperor's Corpse-Chapter 159 The Emperor’s Ruthlessness!

Tang Qingqing was anxious. She was the most aware of Yang Yan’s identity.

On the city wall, there was even a portrait of Yang Yan.

Her father, the Great Emperor, had an exceptional status and cultivation.

For an ordinary junior, it was impossible to use the Star Shifting technique.

Now, moving Yang Yan away clearly indicated that something had been noticed.

Otherwise, it couldn’t possibly be just for some petty squabble among the princes.

In front of everyone, to so blatantly take Yang Yan away alone.

"Alright, go immediately," Tang Zhenyuan responded promptly.

At this moment, he could no longer care about contending with the Third Prince Tang Ning. Compared to Yang Yan’s safety, this matter was insignificant.

The two rushed out of the palace at breakneck speed, heading straight for the Imperial Palace.

After Tang Qingqing and Tang Zhenyuan left, the Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Princess both spat out a lot of fresh blood again, with not a hint of color left on their faces.

*Both of their sword hearts were shattered, their Sword Realm cultivation completely lost.*

*They also suffered from the backlash of the Sword Qi, incurring severe injuries.*

"Carry the Brother Ninth Prince and the Twelfth Princess down for treatment," the Third Prince Tang Ning instructed.

"Yes, Prince."

After Tang Rongrong and the Ninth Prince were taken away, the others all stood up one by one.

"Third Prince, we will take our leave now!"

The Third Prince Tang Ning waved his hand.

"Go down."

"Thank you, Third Prince."

The crowd departed, leaving only the Third Prince Tang Ning alone.

*"Why did Father suddenly intervene and take this person away? For what purpose?" He felt somewhat restless and uneasy.*

*"Could it be that he believes this person’s Sword Dao and Sword Realm are extraordinary and wants to meet him in person?*

*If that’s the case, Brother Eighth Prince is likely to receive attention because of him."*

The eyes of the Third Prince Tang Ning were deep and thoughtful.

*"With the Eighth Prince rising now, many of my subordinates are intrigued.*

*They may choose to observe for now, but once that person comes out from Father.*

*They should all go and bow, aiding Old Eighth.*

*At that time, I might just be left all alone."*

*As he thought of this, worry filled his brows. He aimed to secure the position of the Crown Prince Candidate.*

*"It seems I must also make a decision, or else in this struggle, I might come away with nothing."*

The figure of the Third Prince Tang Ning gradually disappeared from where he stood.

...

The scene in front of Yang Yan suddenly changed. Previously, there had been tables everywhere around him, adorned with fine wines and delicacies.

Now, it was emptiness before him, with only grand gold pillars carved with Dragon Bodies standing, shining brightly.

"Who is Your Highness?" a heavy voice suddenly sounded in his ears, causing Yang Yan to turn his head in the direction of the voice.

What met his eyes was a figure dressed in a purple-gold dragon robe!

He sat upon a throne carved with a Dragon Head, exuding majesty.

"Primordial Emperor?" Seeing the other party, Yang Yan instantly recognized his identity and name.

To be able to transfer him from the Third Prince Tang Ning’s palace within the Royal City of the Tianyuan Dynasty,

and dressed in a dragon robe, only the Primordial Emperor could achieve this!

The Primordial Emperor had once paid attention to him, further proving the identity of the figure before him.

"My identity, I think you, Primordial Emperor, should have long known," Yang Yan said calmly.

He moved himself to directly face the Primordial Emperor.

*Yang Yan could feel a heavy emperor’s pressure emanating from the other party.*

*Though not as overwhelming as the Great Emperor’s majesty, it was certainly not weak.*

*Ordinary cultivators would likely be unable to resist, directly kneeling before the Primordial Emperor.*

*But Yang Yan was not an ordinary cultivator, possessing the Emperor Body, so he could remain unfazed.*

The Primordial Emperor’s gaze lowered.

"It seems you’ve long noticed that I’ve been paying attention to you!

Impressive!

No wonder you are someone who can subdue sect Saint Heirs, Holy Land Saintesses, and princes and princesses of the Emperor Dynasty."

This statement made it clear that the Primordial Emperor knew Yang Yan was the person wanted by numerous sects and Holy Lands on the Heavenly Dao Warrant!

"Since you are aware of my identity, why have you brought me here? You do not mean to help the Holy Land and sects capture me, do you?" Yang Yan spoke mildly.

If the Primordial Emperor wanted to catch him, he would have known his identity long ago.

He could have taken action to seize him much earlier, without waiting until now.

The fact he hadn’t acted must have a reason.

"Not only do you possess exceptional talent, but your wisdom is also profound.

Now, I believe you can establish a dynasty and achieve emperorship," the Primordial Emperor said solemnly.

"Someone, bring a seat!"

A chair was moved over by a eunuch and placed behind Yang Yan.

Yang Yan stood up and sat down, facing the Primordial Emperor.

"To receive a seat bestowed by me, people like you are extremely rare.

At your young age, only you have reached this level," the Primordial Emperor said.

"The reason I haven’t killed you is partly due to your connections with my princes.

You can aid them!

Secondly, as the Emperor of the Dynasty, how can I compromise my dignity for some minor rewards and capture a mere junior?"

*Yang Yan’s eyes moved slightly.*

*"To assist the Eighth Prince in contending for the Crown Prince Candidate position? Or to guide the Eighth Prince further?"*

The Primordial Emperor met Yang Yan’s eyes.

"Your wisdom surprises me.

You should have not been an emperor for long, yet you already possess the ability to understand and see through the Emperor’s Path!

Such talent and wisdom are rare in the world.

When I first ascended the throne, I had only comprehended a fraction of the Emperor’s Path."

With a wave of his hand, a table appeared in front of Yang Yan, filled with exquisite dishes.

These delicacies surpassed those prepared by the Third Prince Tang Ning by more than double.

Every single item on the table was worth a fortune. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"He’s now placed my status on par with his!" Yang Yan mused to himself.

*Talent, imperial pressure, wisdom!*

*Without such talent, the Primordial Emperor wouldn’t have brought him here.*

*If someone else were to kneel under imperial pressure,*

*he believed the Primordial Emperor would not hesitate to strike them down, handing their body over to the sects and Holy Lands that issued the Heavenly Dao Warrant.*

*Not acting to kill the junior?*

*Yang Yan did not believe it!*

*Emperors were typically heartless!*

*A corpse could significantly increase the favor of the sects and Holy Lands. The only reason the Primordial Emperor didn’t do it was because he had deeper desires.*

*"The Emperor’s Path, manipulating hearts, seeing through the people of the world!" Yang Yan reflected to himself.*

*He saw through it, but he was not walking that path.*

"I grant all princes the opportunity to vie for the position of Crown Prince Candidate.

But I do not actually want them to compete for that position. I merely wish to see,

what cards they hold!

The stronger their cards, the greater their abilities.

And the most capable prince will carve out his own path.

They can rely on their supporters to go further than I ever could!" the Primordial Emperor stated.

"My position is merely that of an emperor within the world’s dynasties.

Reaching this point was my final journey.

But they are still young, they shouldn’t settle for the final path before them. They should continue upward."

"So you brought me here to persuade the Eighth Prince not to contend for the Crown Prince Candidate position?"

"Exactly, with your help, his journey will not end with my position.

He has the chance to go further and reach greater cultivation.

He shouldn’t be trapped here, troubled by worldly matters.

Merely guarding this small part of the world is too limiting for him!" the Primordial Emperor said.

"I wish for him to become a dragon!"

Yang Yan took a bite of the Fire Spirit Fruit.

"Primordial Emperor, with my assistance, he can indeed go further.

But with your support, he might travel even faster!"

The Primordial Emperor’s pupils contracted.

"What do you mean by this?"

"The position of Crown Prince Candidate is merely your way to see how far each prince can go in the future.

If so, the position of Crown Prince Candidate can be expanded to one or two individuals.

With your support and additional advocates,

they can not only rapidly improve their cultivation but also travel much further," Yang Yan said slowly.
