As soon as this rumor came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Previously, when the Great Ming Dynasty was established, the Wen Yuan Pavilion in the Imperial Palace served as the archive for the Dayan Royal Family’s books, including records of the Dayan Royal Family’s lives, should have been destroyed.
But Emperor Zhaowu was indifferent to it. At that time, the civil and military ministers praised Emperor Zhaowu’s broad-mindedness. However, upon hearing this rumor now, it did make people a little puzzled and confused.
Moreover, the Dayan Imperial Mausoleum remained undamaged. After the establishment of the Great Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhaowu ordered countless skilled craftsmen to build the Great Ming Imperial Mausoleum next to the Dayan Imperial Mausoleum.
Zhaowu Emperor, Ye Chen, only said one thing, the national treasury was empty, and frugality was important. Furthermore, if the Great Ming could overthrow Dayan, would they still be afraid of the Dayan ancestors causing chaos?
What should have been a bold statement from the founding emperor became increasingly suspicious after the spread of rumors, and more and more people felt that there were indeed many doubts after the establishment of the Great Ming Dynasty.
As soon as the rumors spread throughout the capital, the Imperial Army, the Jingzhao Mansion, and others began to search the rumor spreaders intensively.
However, the more people they caught, the more ridiculous the rumors became. The endless stream of words could never be stopped. In fact, the more they caught, the more doubts arose.
In the Imperial Palace’s Imperial Library, the sound of porcelain being smashed occasionally echoed. These days, Emperor Zhaowu’s anger was burning sky-high.
Who on earth had exposed the secret of the Ye Family to the public? Beneath his fury, fear lurked in his heart.
He was an intelligent man. After learning about the rumors, the first person who crossed his mind was the mysterious master who Ye Kai had once mentioned stealing the Nine Provinces Tripod.
Perhaps the other party already knew the secret of the Ye Family, otherwise, why did he steal the Nine Provinces Tripod back then? Moreover, there was the terrifying strength of the other party.
At that time, the Innate Grandmaster, wielding the saint sword, was not a match for the mysterious expert even with one move. It truly struck fear into one’s heart. It was only because the Great Ming Dynasty had been established for more than a decade without any movement that he had gradually put the matter out of his mind.
But now, at this moment, Ye Chen could only be angrily incompetent and helpless. Just then, a helpless sigh emerged behind them. Turning round to look, who could it be if not Ye Kai?
“Did you find the person spreading the rumors?”
Ye Kai shook his head upon hearing Ye Chen’s questioning. Seeing this, Ye Chen’s expression turned even worse.
The White Lotus Sect gathered three teachers and nine streams, but they were unable to obtain accurate information, indicating just how deeply the person being the curtain is hiding.
“Actually, I’m not afraid that the other party is hiding, I’m just afraid that the other party might be the mysterious master who took the Nine Provinces Tripod. In that case, we might be…”
Ye Kai was also thinking about the mysterious master who had taken the Nine Provinces Tripod. Although his words were not finished, Ye Chen naturally understood his meaning.
For a short while, the two of them fell silent. As rulers of the world, they were both somewhat at a loss, unsure of how to proceed.
At this moment, they did not know that Liang Sheng, who was causing them headaches, was actually in the Imperial Palace. He was frowning at Wen Yuan Pavilion, flipping through the records and biographies of Dayan’s descendants.
The Grand Ancestor of Dayan had indeed obtained an Immortal Cultivation Technique, but he was unable to master it. Eventually, he advised his descendants not to engage in cultivation and locked the cultivation technique away in a high loft.
However, the Dayan Dynasty had a national fortune spanning thousands of years, so there must have been descendants of the Ye Family attempting to cultivate. That is why Liang Sheng was staying in the Wen Yuan Pavilion, searching for clues about them.
As for whether someone in the palace would discover him, how could that be possible? Besides, even if an accident were to occur, who could warn him beforehand?
The uproarious rumors in Dayan Capital indeed came from Liang Sheng’s schemes. Since the dynasty’s luck can be converted into cultivation resources, how could Liang Sheng not make arrangements?
Anyway, he was now ready for either eventuality: either find the Immortal Cultivation Technique left by the Grand Ancestor of Dayan or use the dynasty’s fortune to pay tribute to the Cultivation World, and then exchange resources to obtain the Immortal Cultivation Technique.
It’s just that now, Liang Sheng’s focus was still on finding the Immortal Cultivation Technique left by the Grand Ancestor of Dayan. As for the external situation, he didn’t need to intervene too much, as there would naturally be people stirring up the waters.’
After all, people’s hearts are greedy, and some would be unable to resist the temptation of being co-rulers of the world!
Things were indeed developing in the direction Liang Sheng predicted. However, the first to fall into chaos was the White Lotus Sect. Regardless of the situation, the Great Ming Dynasty was the legitimate rule; who would dare to provoke it easily?
But the White Lotus Sect was different; they were just the rats on the streets of the Great Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Imperial Family really made a move against the White Lotus Sect when they were in trouble, it would mean that the rumors were true.
If the White Lotus Sect continued to be isolated and unsupported, it would also be an opportunity to eliminate them, and at that time, they could even claim credit with the Great Ming.
Anyway, dealing with the White Lotus Sect would not be a loss. For a short while, even though the church members of the White Lotus Sect were hiding discreetly, they could not help but expose their traces when the whole world was hunting them down.
For a short while, the White Lotus Sect suffered heavy losses, and more and more martial arts masters were drawn into the fray. At this point, many noble families had also begun to intervene in secret.
“Damn it!”
At this moment in the Imperial Palace, Ye Kai was gritting his teeth, his face flushed with anger as he sat opposite Ye Chen. The situation was even worse than they had thought.
“Make sure that the Ye Family bloodline remains silent as soon as possible. As long as you are safe, it won’t matter if all of the church members of the White Lotus Sect die.
We must hold on. We have now obtained so many Barrier Breaking Pills. As long as we endure, we will rise again.
As long as we survive this period, the Great Ming situation will stabilize, and no matter what happens, everything will be easier to handle. For the time being, bear with it. I will get a Barrier Breaking Pill for you, and you have to believe that time will eventually be on our side.”
After Ye Chen finished speaking, he went into the secret room. After a series of complicated theft-proof measures, he took out a jade bottle from a very hidden wooden box.
As he opened the jade bottle and comforted Ye Kai, his words suddenly stopped, and he exclaimed in surprise, “Where’s the Barrier Breaking Pill!?”
Ye Kai could not help but be stunned upon hearing this and hurried over, only to find that the jade bottle was empty. In an instant, the two of them were full of panic and anger.
They felt as if there was a net above their heads, which they could not see who was pulling the net and manipulating everything behind the scenes.
At this moment, in the Wen Yuan Pavilion, Liang Sheng sneezed softly and could not help but touch his nose, feeling a bit bewildered. With his current level of cultivation, how could he have any physical ailments?
So….
“Who’s cursing me?”
(There will be more during the day….)
