Chapter 323 Sweet Dream

The carriage slowly moved forward.

After passing through Vermillion Bird Street and Changluo Alley, which Xu Han was familiar with, the wheels of the carriage collided with the ground paved with bluestones, making a rumbling sound. The deep sound echoed like a bell striking Xu Han's chest.

"So all of you put in a lot of effort to push the person who should have been sitting on the throne back to his seat, right?" This kind of dullness was truly too oppressive for Xu Han. He looked at the old man beside him with a calm voice and asked again.

The red-robed old man looked up at Xu Han and nodded.

"Since that's the case, why did Senior Azure and the old man kill the Emperor back then?" Xu Han frowned. He was puzzled as to why Canghai Liu and the Headmaster had done such a superfluous thing.

Mr. Lu thought for a moment and hesitated for a moment. It seemed that the guilt in his heart towards Xu Han had prevented the old man from rejecting Xu Han's question at that time. He slowly spoke.

"Have you heard of Half Demon?"

"Half a demon?" Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned. He had heard some stories about this thing before. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you talking about the half-demon technique that the last emperor was addicted to before the fall of the Great Chu Dynasty?"

"Yes." Mr. Lu nodded.

"What does this have to do with the Kingslaughter back then?" Xu Han was puzzled.

Mr. Lu glanced at Xu Han. He was somewhat puzzled as to why Xu Han still had the mood to care about this at this moment. However, he did not think that the Xu Han in front of him could do anything that would affect their plans, so he continued, "Half-demon is also known as a divine seed. It is rumored that the body created by this method has eyes that can pierce yin and yang, hands that can reverse life and death. Most importantly, this body is eternal, endless tribulation and immortality … In other words, it is immortality."

"That's why the previous emperor also wanted to have a lifespan without boundaries?" Xu Han instantly understood the reason behind this. How impressive was a king of a country? If it was him, he would probably want to live longer in this world.

"But that emperor is also considered a wise monarch. You killed him just because he wanted to concoct a Half Demon?" Xu Han asked again. Although he hadn't experienced the emperor's reign before, whether it was the comments of the public or the records in the official history, the evaluation of the emperor was extremely accurate. He could be considered the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty's rejuvenation.

"Even though the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the commoners, no matter how pedantic Tiance Prefecture is, he understands that it is normal for the Emperor not to declare anything in writing. As long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe, why would he risk his life to kill the emperor?" Mr. Lu replied in a deep voice.

"Even if the Chengyang Emperor is really infatuated with the Half-Demon Method, catching some death row prisoners and looking for some monsters to play with him, even though it's cruel, it's still better than dragon riding the guests and shattering the country. No matter how bad it is, he is just like the Chu Dynasty Emperor back then. He captured civilians wantonly for this method. With Tiance Prefecture here, as long as he doesn't go too far, we can check and balance them. It won't be impossible for us to endure until the day he dies. "

"It's a pity that Great Zhou is not Great Chu. The Great Chu Imperial Clan has always been proficient in this demon refining technique. They have been raising many demons since ancient times. However, Great Zhou did not have so many demons to play with wantonly for him. Therefore, he moved the idea of a hundred thousand mountains in the west."

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression immediately changed.

The Western Region of Great Zhou was also his hometown, Qing Zhou. Further west was the forbidden area of the human race, and there were hundreds of thousands of mountains that occupied countless monster lands.

Xu Han, like most people, did not know how powerful those demons were.

However, his right arm was all that belonged to a Monstrous Lord. Xu Han knew very well that once he unsealed his right arm, even an immortal would have the power to fight. And this was only one arm of that Monstrous Lord.

If there was one of the hundred thousand mountains, With just a powerful demon like this Great Monarch, the calamity that could be incurred by attacking a hundred thousand mountains was enough to plunge Great Zhou into a never-ending war. No wonder Canghai Liuliu and the Headmaster had gone to great lengths to kill that emperor, even if it caused the people of Great Zhou to be in a sorry state for more than ten years.

Although this statement has cleared up some of Xu Ha's doubts, there are still some things he doesn't understand.

"But even so, the long night division at that time is only a small intelligence agency, the Tian Ce Mansion holds the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Mu Palace commands the border war, the two can be said to cover the sky, even if support the young emperor to ascend to the throne, even if the imperial court is dissatisfied, what kind of storm? How could it end up in the Ancient Mu Palace and the Heavenly Policy Palace's ruined state? "

This is indeed a very unreasonable matter, Since the True Dragon who had accepted the Dragon-Snake Twin Living Technique with him was an emperor determined by the Heaven's Will, he would ascend to the throne. If the so-called words of heavenly indignation were true, then Great Zhou would be able to avoid natural and man-made disasters over the years. This would also make the Tian Ce Mansion and Mu Wang Manor as stable as before, and they would not be restrained by Great Xia everywhere.

Moreover, even if the young emperor had just been born, it was too unimaginable for a baby to ascend to the throne, and he had no choice but to push Yuwen Luo onto the stage, it would not be difficult for him to control the other party with the abilities of Tiance Prefecture and the Mu Palace at that time.

Xu Han really couldn't understand how the Headmaster would do such a thing with his shrewdness.

Hearing this, Mr. Lu smiled again.

'"Yuwen Luo's wrist and shengfu have indeed exceeded our expectations. His support for the Longevity Division to annihilate the Mu Palace is the result of years of hard work. Although this has caused some problems to our plans, it is still within our control."

"And before that…"

"For example, killing many princes and giving an outsider an imperial son or heir is all part of our plan."

"Huh?" Xu Han looked at the smiling old man in front of him, but his heart turned cold. It was clearly a smile that should be extremely kind, but when it landed in Xu Han's heart, it was like a ghost that caused his heart to chill.

He knew that he was too naive after all. Tiance Prefecture had once been able to reach a height that was comparable to the current Longevity Division. How could he be as open and honest as he was in front of the world?

Monarchy…

Always accompanied by horrible calculations and bloody bones.

His expression darkened at that moment. He looked at the old man in front of him, who seemed to have known him for the first time, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

"Why?" The old man repeated Xu Han's question, and the smile on his face gradually became fanatical. '"In order to keep the world safe from chaos, to make the world peaceful forever, and to never have a weapon again, all the sacrifices are worth it. Therefore, no one can know the existence of a True Dragon until it has matured."

Xu Han frowned. He did not understand what the old man meant. He felt that Mr. Lu did not answer his question.

At that time, Mr. Lu seemed to have seen through Xu Han's doubts. The smile on his face became even more fanatical, and even gradually became somewhat ferocious. He no longer had the elegant demeanor of that generation of great Confucians. Instead, he was more like an evil ghost that had fallen into madness. He spoke as if he were speaking, and his tone was cold.

"Although the Half Demon Technique is bloody, violent, and almost brought destruction to Great Zhou…"

"But he did…"

"I did it…"
