Song of Adolescence-Chapter 361 Hide the Sky with One Hand

Hall of Supreme Peace.

Mingde Emperor had been in deep sleep over the last few days and he finally opened his eyes. Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan noticed the change and hurried forward. "Your Majesty."

Mingde Emperor cleared his throat, looked around inside the hall, and asked softly, "Is genius doctor Hua Jin not around?"

Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan replied hurriedly, "Hua Jin already came in the morning, and she’s currently with His Highness White Prince. She’ll be back in the evening to treat Your Majesty."

"Chong'er?" Mingde Emperor nodded. "Hua Jin has superb medical skills. Maybe she could really heal his eyes. As for me, this is probably incurable."

Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan was alarmed. "Why would Your Majesty say that?"

Mingde Emperor shook his head. "Every person is like a bushel of firewood, once it’s all burnt up, everything is over. Trying to light a fire from ashes or hoping for flowers to bloom on rock are just the wishful thinking of mortals. Jin Xuan, you’ve been with me since we were young. How many decades have passed? Nobody understands me more. Tell me, among our princes, who is the most suitable to ascend this treasure?"

Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan immediately knelt onto the ground. "Jin Xuan dare not speak out of turn!"

"We’re just chatting. We want you to speak your mind, so speak." Mingde Emperor sighed. "If even you dare not speak to us about this, then we are truly alone with no ties."

Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan hesitated for a long time before he finally said, "Jin Xuan believes the sixth prince is the most talented and exceptionally brilliant. He’s far ahead of the other princes."

"Chuhe? All under Heaven thinks that we will appoint him as heir but although he’s my son, he was taught by that person. Others don’t know, but surely you understand? Jin Xuan, you’re not being honest with us.” Mingde Emperor sighed. “Every emperor hates these party disputes bitterly, but which emperor could seize the throne without going through such disputes?"

Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan raised his head and suddenly asked, "Then, what is Your Majesty thinking?"

When Mingde Emperor heard his words, his expression changed in an instant. His eyes that were listless before suddenly lit up. He looked at Jin Xuan and asked in a deep voice, "You’re asking us what we're thinking."

The entire hall became silent.

Standing on guard not far away, the captain of the Imperial Army, Li Changqing, could feel his entire back soak with cold sweat.

Grand Eunuch Jin Xuan has accompanied the Emperor for decades and he was far more unperturbed. He bowed his head and said, "Jin Xuan dare not appraise the sacred will, but seeing as Your Majesty has his mind on establishing an heir, I couldn’t help but ask a question. Begging Your Majesty for forgiveness."

"What we are thinking about," Mingde Emperor said slowly. "How did I seize the throne back then, and how did my imperial father seize his throne."

Back then, Mingde Emperor killed his way to the Hall of Calming Purity and finally seized the throne.

As for his father, he nailed his older brother to death on the city walls.

"Changqing!" Mingde Emperor called out suddenly.

"Your Majesty." Li Changqing wiped away his cold sweat and hurried over.

"Notify Lanyue, and have him make a trip to the White Prince Residence," Mingde Emperor said.

Li Changqing hurriedly replied, "Earlier, the Marquis came here to say that if Your Majesty asked, he was already there."

Mingde Emperor was stunned for a moment, then he said with a wry smile, "Looks like this Heavenly Revelations City is no longer the Heavenly Revelations City of the past."

White Prince Residence.

Mu Chunfeng was panting lightly, holding his sword and standing on guard in front of Hua Jin. "Shifu, how long more."

Hua Jin didn't even raise her head. "One stick of incense."

"Alright." Mu Chunfeng nodded. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

On the other side, Xiao Jingxia's folding fan had been pulverised. He drew out a long sword that had been placed beside him and cursed bitterly, "Who would have thought there’d be a hidden obstacle like you in the end."

Mu Chunfeng frowned. "I’ve always acted openly and upright. How can you use the word hidden? This sword at my waist has always been the sixth-ranked sword on the Register of Swords, Moving Mountains. If you didn’t recognise it, what can I do?"

Xiao Jingxia retreated a step and withdrew a flare from his sleeve. He pointed it upwards and fired it towards the sky. It tore through the roof, flew into the air, and exploded into magnificent fireworks.

Outside the White Prince Residence.

Lanyue Marquis’s Violent Blade had thoroughly suppressed Xie Jiucheng, and Xie Jiucheng's clothes were shredded full of sabre cuts. He panted heavily but when the fireworks exploded, he immediately turned around and swept away.

The house steward asked, "Marquis, should we chase?"

Lanyue Marquis shook his head. "No need."

Meanwhile, inside the residence.

Su Muyu's oil-paper umbrella remained unopened and he had not deployed his Eighteen-Blade Array.

The talisman seals on Jin Wei Gonggong’s Abyssal Eye sword were still on the blade as well.

They were not prepared to engage in a fight to the death.

Mu Yumo opened her poisonous umbrella, turned around gracefully, and landed by Su Muyu's side. "What's going on?"

"Those three Hidden River disciples up there, two of them are from my Su House. They shouldn't be that powerful," Su Muyu said slowly.

Mu Yumo nodded. "The other one is from my Mu House. I’d also noticed that."

"Something’s wrong." Su Muyu looked up and watched the fireworks explode in the air.

However, Lei Wujie realised that the Hidden River killer he was facing was no longer as agile as he was in the beginning. Far from it, in fact. Furthermore, blood began to seep into his eye sockets.

"It's backlash." Yan Zhantian shouted abruptly as he withdrew his heavy sword.

Like a sudden thunder in the dark night, the entire White Prince Residence seemed to experience a tremor in that instant.

The three Hidden River killers suddenly keeled over as blood burst from their seven orifices and they fell off the roof.

"Take them with us." Su Muyu leaped into the air and swept forward with Mu Yumo.

The back door of the White Prince Residence.

Xiao Se was silently estimating how much time had elapsed and he said to Xiao Yu, "I’m afraid you’re about to lose."

The smile on Xiao Yu's face faded little by little, and he whispered, "What’s the delay?"

As if responding to his words, the fireworks in the sky exploded at that moment.

Su Changhe said solemnly, "Your Highness, we’re too late."

Xiao Yu’s face turned dark and he cursed a soft "trash" before he faced the sky and suddenly let out a loud scream.

Right after that scream, the black-robed man who had been standing still on the roof for a long time suddenly moved.

Yan Zhantian raised his sword abruptly and spun around. "He’s their final killing move. Stop him!"

Before he finished speaking, the Army Destroyer sword was already slashing down at the black-robed man.

But the black-robed man stopped the sword with a single palm.

At such a close distance, Yan Zhantian finally saw the hidden face clearly, and he was greatly shocked. "It's you!"

The black-robed man didn’t say a word and struck with another palm.

The Wrath Sword Immortal who was placed on the Ultimate Experts List was instantly forced to retreat.

This one palm could cover the sky!

Lei Wujie hadn't yet arrived but his Heart sword was already flying straight for the black-robed man.

A violent blade that was as eerie and cold as the moon also slashed down at the man’s head. Lanyue Marquis’s handsome face was suffused with a fierce killing intent.

The talisman seals on the Abyssal Eye sword were about to float into the air. Jin Wei Gonggong shouted furiously and raised his sword to block the black-robed man from advancing further.

Jin Yu Gonggong inhaled a long breath before he opened his eyes and struck his palm towards the black-robed man.

Who could block the combined attacks of so many top experts?

Baili Dongjun?

Luo Qingyang?

In any case, it wouldn’t be this black-robed man standing here.
