This sudden turn of events caused Emperor Yuanjing and the Prince of Zhenbei beside him to change their expressions drastically.
Especially the former, this supreme emperor actually showed an extremely embarrassed expression at this moment, which was rare.
Beneath his thick, furrowed brows, his eyes burned like torches, fixed intently on the young, handsome, yet enigmatic Wei Changxuan.
An uncontrollable surge of anger and jealousy began to spread through his chest.
His originally fair knuckles made an unnatural "crunching" sound as he tried to suppress his emotional fluctuations.
In his view, as the emperor and the ruler of a country, controlling all affairs of the world was already the norm.
However, what happened today completely overturned his understanding.
Even worse, it is a serious provocation against one's own authority and status!
The Prince of Zhenbei's expression changed drastically, like a sudden storm. First, it turned ashen white, then quickly flushed with anger.
His eyes seemed to burn with fire, filled with unconcealable shock and rage.
He stared intently at Mu Nanzhi, his eyes practically spitting fire, his gaze like two sharp blades.
He wished he could pierce her heart and devour her alive.
He never expected that the princess, whom he thought would help him break through his cultivation level, would betray him.
She then turned to Wei Changxuan.
For a moment, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside me.
This made his breathing even more rapid and heavy, his chest heaving violently like waves in the wind.
"That scoundrel dared to betray me!"
He roared inwardly, his anger almost driving him to madness.
"And Wei Changxuan, I will tear you to pieces!"
In his view, he was not only deceived by his wife,
What's even more unbearable is the feeling of having one's self-esteem brutally trampled upon.
He was driven mad by the humiliation that his dignity and authority, which he had always regarded as supreme, had been so ruthlessly attacked.
At this moment, a sound emanating from nearby brought the chaotic situation to its peak.
"Wei Changxuan! What are you doing here?"
Emperor Yuanjing's tone was filled with undisguised rage, clearly not expecting such a turn of events.
Upon hearing the sound, the already shocked Prince Zhenbei's eyes widened even further.
He stood there, stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Then, with a trembling voice filled with resentment, she questioned, "Mu Nanzhi! How... how could you be with Wei Changxuan?"
Are you in such a hurry to abandon me?
Faced with such a question, Wei Changxuan merely smiled slightly and replied:
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhenbei, I am truly honored by your unexpected visit."
But a deeper meaning seems to be hidden behind that smile—
It is a silent mockery of those in the game of power who try to control everything.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanjing's face showed anger, and he frowned, asking:
"Wei Changxuan, what exactly does this mean?"
Why are you getting so close to my national tutor and the Imperial Concubine of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion?
Wei Changxuan shrugged lightly, as if the whole world was nothing more than a game to him:
"Your Majesty should understand the reason."
Naturally, they chose the path of dual cultivation because they were compatible and shared the same feelings.
"Dual cultivation?!" These two words struck everyone like a bolt from the blue.
The words sounded particularly jarring when they came from the mouth of a man of high status.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanjing and the Prince of Zhenbei both gasped, their expressions changing drastically.
Immediately afterwards, having lost his last shred of reason, the Prince of Zhenbei pointed at Wei Changxuan and began to curse:
"How dare you, Wei Changxuan! You actually laid a hand on my beloved wife! I'll kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to tremble slightly involuntarily.
The knuckles of the hand, clenched into a fist, turned slightly white from excessive force.
Unfazed by the threat, Wei Changxuan merely smiled faintly, offering no direct response, and instead turned to Mu Nanzhi to continue speaking:
"Your Highness, please watch your words."
In reality, she has already broken free from what you call constraints and become a free person;
She is now my partner; if Your Highness is not satisfied, feel free to fight back.
After saying this, he turned to the two visitors and added provocatively:
"As for who will actually die? That's really uncertain!"
After hearing these words, I felt the powerful pressure emanating from Wei Changxuan.
Even if they were unwilling, they had to suppress their impulses and dare not act rashly.
Because blindly advancing when you know the opponent's strength and its depth is unfathomable is tantamount to courting death.
Emperor Yuanjing stared intently at Luo Yuheng, his eyes filled with disbelief and rage.
His voice trembled slightly:
"Imperial Preceptor, you...you actually practiced dual cultivation with Wei Changxuan? Do you know that this is a heinous crime!"
This violates ethical principles and moral norms!
Inside the entire palace, as that heavy question fell, even the air seemed to become incredibly oppressive.
Asking for flowers
It felt as if an invisible pressure was surging in from all directions. And opposite him stood a woman in a white robe, with an air of otherworldly grace.
Yet he maintained his usual calm and composed demeanor, unaffected by the overwhelming pressure before him.
He merely raised his head slightly to look at the king, who sat high on the golden throne and appeared extremely distraught.
With a gentle yet firm tone, he gave his answer: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The path of cultivation is long and arduous, but in the end, it is about pursuing the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao."
For me, it is truly rare to find a like-minded and exceptionally capable partner to journey together with.
As for how others in QQ group 85 view 2104, that is not my concern.
These words, spoken as gently and politely as a spring breeze, left Emperor Yuanjing, who was in a state of extreme emotional turmoil, momentarily speechless with rebuttal.
Only his pale and weak face revealed the immense shock he had suffered.
...
He had originally thought he had control over the woman in front of him.
Unexpectedly, her heart no longer belonged to him, but had flown to someone else.
Thinking of this, he felt as if he had been pierced in the heart by countless sharp arrows.
Meanwhile, Wei Changxuan stood quietly on the other side, watching this dramatic dialogue unfold.
Then, a completely different mood is revealed.
Seeing the extremely ugly expressions on Emperor Yuanjing's and the faces of those beside him, as if they had swallowed a bitter pill, the two Prince Zhenbei were also in a very awkward and uncomfortable state.
He couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with himself.
A slight smile curled at the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that was both playful and chilling.
Then, in a lazy yet provocative voice, he spoke:
"Oh? Is Your Majesty's instruction lacking, or do you have some other guidance?"
Since you don't have it, please leave.
The two of them have important matters to attend to in their spiritual practice and cannot accompany them.
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting a torrent of anger in the other person's heart.
Emperor Yuanjing's eyes widened suddenly, almost popping out of their sockets.
His face was covered in blood vessels, and his expression was contorted with extreme anger, his muscles trembling uncontrollably.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he unleashed a thunderous roar:
"That Wei Changxuan is utterly arrogant! I will not be able to appease public anger if I do not kill him today!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the Prince of Zhenbei, after quickly regaining his composure, was the first to react.
As one of the emperor's most capable lieutenants, he naturally understood what to do now.
So he immediately gathered all his strength and charged forward.
The unique aura of a third-grade expert erupted at this moment.
It brought a gust of wind and headed straight for Wei Changxuan.
They were determined to subdue this man immediately to demonstrate royal authority...
Chapter 70: Everyone was shocked by the strength of a third-grade martial artist and a second-grade Taoist!
At this moment, an extremely terrifying pressure surged from the body of the Prince of Zhenbei.
The aura was as heavy as a mountain, as if even the air itself had been crushed and distorted.
This pressure is like a giant beast, slowly awakening from its slumber, causing an indescribable sense of panic.
That imposing and fierce power seemed intent on destroying everything in its path.
The hissing sound that filled the air grew louder and louder.
It was as if the entire universe was emitting a voice that was unwilling yet forced to submit to this power.
