Chapter 121: The court is corrupt, the emperor invites
When the bedroom was quiet, Emperor Qian did not rest while sitting on the dragon bed. Instead, he looked at the nothingness in front of him, with a faint light flickering under his pupils.
"Is the disciple from Yaochi Holy Land so important?"
"You Celestial Clan don't even bother to fight for the remains of the Skyfire God, but are instead interested in a mixed-blood."
"I really don't understand you Celestial Clan. You go through so much trouble to do something meaningless."
Emperor Qian was talking to himself in the void in front of him, but only he knew that someone in the bedroom had been watching him secretly.
Because the Celestial Clan came to Zhongdu to look for him, the True Dragon Emperor, after they appeared!
"That girl is indeed a mixed-blood descendant, but this is related to our Celestial Clan, so we cannot let her stay among your human race."
"Although our Celestial Clan cannot restore its former glory, the laws of our ancestors cannot be abolished. We must eliminate the mixed-blood descendants!"
A slightly angry voice was heard in the void. This person was none other than the one from the Celestial Clan!
"Don't worry, you've made these preparations. My Celestial Clan won't break our promise and will find the elixir that can heal your injuries."
"But before that, Emperor Qian, I hope you can keep your word. Even if the Yaochi Holy Land blocks you, you must not retreat!"
Having said this, the voice suddenly stopped, as if it had never appeared, leaving Emperor Qian alone.
"Tian Mohan, I hope you can do it, otherwise I will let you know how terrifying my Great Qian Emperor's soldiers are..."
On the third day, a royal carriage appeared in front of the posthouse. At the invitation of Changping King Liu Si, Qin Mu and Gu Chenxi got on the carriage and drove into the imperial city.
The fact that the royal family sent Prince Changping to invite Qin Mu and the others showed that they had given them great honor. Even at the gate of the imperial city, Emperor Qian sent hundreds of officials to welcome them, and the scene was quite grand.
"Please forgive me, my father has been in poor health for many years and cannot greet you personally. I can only ask the court officials to wait here as an apology!"
Liu Si was very polite, and Qin Mu and Gu Chenxi didn't have much to say about it.
After all, as the ruler of a dynasty, his warm invitation is the greatest sincerity.
If Emperor Qian had to come out to greet them, it would be a bit harsh and not like the character of Qin Mu and Gu Chenxi.
"Is the Emperor Qian unwell? After we finish our visit to the ruins, I will return to Master and find some elixirs for Your Highness to give to the Emperor Qian!"
Long before, Gu Chenxi knew what the Daqian Dynasty meant. They wanted Gu Chenxi to go with them to the ruins of the God of Heavenly Fire.
However, this was the first time anyone heard that Emperor Qian had suffered some injuries. In order to express his sincerity, Gu Chenxi was also very sincere.
After all, the sect's elixirs are not as precious as those in the secular world.
"There's no need for you to worry about me, Senior Sister Gu. My father's hidden illness was caused by accident many years ago. It hasn't endangered his life in all these years. He's just been feeling a little unwell!"
Liu Si quickly shook his head to refuse. In fact, he didn't know the true situation of Emperor Qian. He just heard that the current influence happened many years ago.
After that, Emperor Qian developed a hidden illness and no matter how the imperial doctors treated him, he could not recover.
This was exactly what Liu Si was thinking. If his father really got better, wouldn't the plans he had made for many years be wasted?
Qin Mu and Gu Chenxi walked side by side. When they arrived at the Fengtian Hall, hundreds of officials followed them in and paid homage to Emperor Qian on the dragon throne.
Although the distance was only a dozen meters, the high and mighty Emperor Qian made it impossible for Qin Mu to see the other person's true appearance.
The surroundings are decorated with formations left by the founding emperor of Daqian. In this Fengtian Hall, Emperor Qian is the center!
"Everyone is safe!"
All the officials knelt down and Emperor Qian spoke immediately. However, at this moment, an extremely strong aura made Qin Mu frown.
"This is... such a strong smell of decay!"
Qin Mu was shocked. He couldn't describe what the smell was like, but the only word that came to his mind was rotten.
It felt like a dried corpse that had been buried underground for many years suddenly came back to life, its entire body so rotten that no one could get close to it.
But when he saw the officials around him and Gu Chenxi beside him, they were obviously not affected. For a moment, Qin Mu thought it was his own illusion.
But as Emperor Qian continued to speak, the smell of decay that had originally faded away suddenly came again!
"It seems that this True Dragon Emperor must have some shameful secrets!"
Qin Mu thought secretly that Emperor Qian’s secret had nothing to do with him, so it didn’t matter whether he knew it or not.
"Gu Chenxi, when I was young and gray, I met your master Zhenhong several times. I didn't expect that after so many years, her disciples have grown up to be so beautiful. They really make us look old!"
After communicating with all the officials, Emperor Qian began to greet Gu Chenxi.
At that time, when he was in his prime, Emperor Qian also traveled around and made friends with many members of the sect.
However, as he grew older, his body became weaker and weaker, and Emperor Qian lived in Zhongdu, no longer having the passion of his youth.
As Emperor Qian spoke, the decayed aura made Qin Mu dizzy. Before he could make any move, he saw the Ancient Holy Body actually open up on its own and wash away his discomfort!
The effect of the Ancient Holy Body was very obvious. In just a moment, Qin Mu returned to normal. If the Ancient Holy Body could not speak, he would even want to ask what this decayed aura was?
However, Qin Mu did not realize that the moment his ancient holy body took effect, the imperial weapon that had been suppressed in Emperor Qian's body began to tremble!
Because the magic circle obscured his features, no one saw Emperor Qian's painful expression at the moment. The True Dragon Emperor even began to tremble uncontrollably due to the fluctuations of the Taoist soldiers!
"What's going on? Why did this happen?"
"The Imperial Soldier was touched by something. How could that young man trigger the touch of my Great Qian Imperial Soldier?"
Emperor Qian followed the faint guidance of the imperial soldiers and looked down at Qin Mu. He did not see anything outstanding about this young man.
Perhaps the imperial soldier in his body noticed Emperor Qian's negligence, and a ray of light poured into his eyes. At this moment, everything between heaven and earth seemed to have become different!
All the officials who used to meet each other every day turned gray one by one, and even Gu Chenxi only had a little color.
But that Qin Mu, under the effect of the imperial weapon, completely turned into a golden light, and this golden light even made Emperor Qian's eyes hurt!
"What! This is... this is the legendary..."
Emperor Qian discovered Qin Mu's secret, and in his excitement, he almost shouted it out in front of all the civil and military officials.
You have to know that the Ancient Holy Body is a legend that dates back billions of years. It has been passed down to this day and is almost becoming a fiction.
The fact that the ancient holy body would appear in the court surprised Emperor Qian!
If it is really as he thought, then not only will his physical illness be gone, but even the Daqian Dynasty will be able to restore the glory of its ancestors!
"Prince Changping, you are here to discuss with Gu Chenxi. Regarding the trip to the ruins, you must also listen to Gu Chenxi's advice!"
"As for this disciple of the Sword Sect, I would like to take you to the back for a chat. I wonder if you would agree?"
Emperor Qian's tone suddenly changed. It was not yet time to adjourn the court, but he actually wanted to leave early.
"What's going on? Your Majesty never delays court affairs."
"This Sword Sect disciple actually deserves His Majesty to make an exception. What's so good about him?"
"Yes, he doesn't look as good as the disciples of Yaochi Holy Land. I wonder what the emperor sees in him?"
"Alas, the majesty of heaven is overwhelming, we just need to follow His Majesty's wishes!"
The officials were whispering below, but it did not affect Emperor Qian's actions. He even wanted to step down from the dragon throne and go to Qin Mu to invite him!
Seeing such enthusiasm, even though Qin Mu didn't know what Emperor Qian was thinking, he felt embarrassed to refuse.
Led by the eunuchs, he entered the Emperor Qian's bedroom. It was a dark palace, with only a few candles providing some warmth.
And in this bedroom, the pungent smell of decay was spreading out more clearly, making Qin Mu even more uncomfortable!
"Your name is Qin Mu? It's fate, really. I wanted to join the Sword Sect to practice, but I was busy with state affairs and missed the opportunity!"
"I feel like we've known each other for a long time, young friend. You can be more casual in front of me. No need to be polite!"
Opposite Qin Mu, Emperor Qian sat down casually, allowing Qin Mu to see the appearance of this true dragon emperor.
The other person had a pale face, sparse mustache, and a thin body. He could only rely on the loose dragon robe to hide his weakness.
If a man like this took off the emperor's clothes and walked outside, no one would doubt that he was a homeless person!
"How could the emperor be so malnourished? Don't they eat all the delicacies from land and sea? Surely there won't be a shortage of elixirs?"
