787 Treading Through the Thorns, Advancing Towards the Throne! (4)

Marquis Yao looked at all of this and closed his eyes, sighing inwardly.

He understood that his existence was about to become an important bargaining chip for the Seventh Prince to s.n.a.t.c.h all the fruits.

This was because he was ultimately saved by the Seventh Prince and also walked out as the Seventh Prince’s general.

The Deputy Palace Masters of the three palaces could only remain silent.

Qingqin let out a mournful cry, feeling powerless.

Old Master Seventh stood beside his eldest disciple.

The captain opened his mouth to speak but Old Master Seventh shook his head and calmly spoke.

“Wait!”

“Before Xu Qing left, he told me that he had grasped a way to neutralize the poison of the plain pill and save all the human race from it!”

“I’ve eaten plain pills before, and while others may propose methods of resolution, I don’t believe them. I only believe in Xu Qing who stepped out and exposed all of this!”

The words of Old Master Seventh were incredibly astute, spreading throughout the entire county, instantly capturing the minds of countless people. Even the pupils of Seventh Prince constricted in response.

The captain’s eyes revealed a strange glint as he thought to himself, ‘As expected of my master. The older the ginger, the spicier it is.’ He nodded and remained silent.

Old Master Seventh’s voice also caused hundreds of thousands of cultivators to look at him.

Marquis Yao’s eyes gleamed and hope appeared on Qingqin’s face. The Deputy Palace Masters of the three palaces lifted their heads and looked at Old Master Seventh.

The person who understood Xu Qing the most here was naturally his master.

Hence, Old Master Seventh’s words held different weight in the hearts of these hundreds of thousands of cultivators.

Especially the implications contained within his words – perhaps some hadn’t fully realized it before, but now, they were beginning to understand.

The Seventh Prince calmed his emotions and calmly spoke.

“You guys have too deep a prejudice against me!”

“Regarding today’s events, you may think I didn’t personally take action, but did I not? I did take action!”

“I was the one who saved Yao Tianyan. I didn’t stop his appearance, so I tacitly agreed to his actions.”

“If Yao Tianyan didn’t deliver the most critical evidence, what’s the use of Xu Qing’s hot-bloodedness?”

“I naturally sensed some clues about the ident.i.ty of the Deputy Governor. This is also the reason why I saved Yao Tianyan back then. I originally wanted to wait for the Holy Wave Race to return and the overall situation of the human race to stabilize before dealing with this matter.”

“Because I can’t let the momentum that was gained from the sacrifice of countless cultivators and heroic souls dissipate because of the pa.s.sage of time!”

“This time is the time to take back our homeland. Our rear can’t be chaotic!”

“That’s why I forcefully endured it.”

“And how could a mere Bai Xiaozhuo set up such a huge plan? There must be a mastermind behind him, which is his so-called lord!”

“Therefore, after I understood everything, I chose to wait for his lord to appear. The other possibility is that if I don’t make a move, his lord won’t either. I… am a form of deterrence and your support!”

“You can choose not to understand or question me, but you can’t deny the meaning of my being here.”

The hundreds of thousands of cultivators fell silent and no one bothered to reply.

The Seventh Prince sighed softly. After that, his gaze became stern.

“You can wait, but the reconstruction of Fenghai County can’t wait. The recovery of all the humans in the city can’t wait, let alone the rescue of tens of millions of humans!”

“At such a critical moment, there’s definitely a possibility that the nonhuman races will cause trouble. Your families, the sects you’re in, and your hometown are all in danger.”

“Marquis Yao, listen up. The three palaces, listen up. Soldiers of Fenghai County, listen up!”

“Follow the Imperial City’s army and head to the provinces of Fenghai to suppress all the chaos and save all the affected humans. This is your duty!”

The hundreds of thousands of cultivators had complicated expressions. The Seventh Prince was right and they couldn’t refute him at all. This was indeed their duty.

However, if they dispersed now, everything would be gone.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t reunite, but that would take a long time. At that time, everything might have already changed and black and white might be reversed.

This was a move to break their unity.

The expressions of the Deputy Palace Masters were gloomy. Marquis Yao sighed and was about to speak when he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.

Old Master Seventh’s body trembled and he instantly turned his head to look into the distance.

The captain was the same. His breathing was slightly hurried and his eyes revealed a blue glint. His expression was filled with surprise.

There was also Qingqin who let out excited cries in the sky.

“Gah!”

The hundreds of thousands of cultivators also sensed it.

The Seventh Prince frowned imperceptibly and looked at the distant world.

A rainbow was whistling toward the city at an extremely fast speed.

This speed was definitely not something a fake Nascent Soul possessed. It was the speed of Nihility.

Everyone saw that the being who emitted such astonis.h.i.+ng speed was a huge Wood Spirit Race member.

On his shoulder stood a tall and straight figure in a blood-stained robe.

His Daoist robe fluttered in the wind and his gaze was firm, seemingly containing stars. He was so handsome that the world lost its color.

He was Xu Qing.

There was also a small white snake coiled around his right hand, looking at the city curiously.

His appearance instantly caused the cultivators in the county to become excited and cheers rang out. The sound waves were earth-shattering, causing the surroundings to rumble and the world to resonate.

In the sky, the four-clawed golden dragon also roared. Its body emitted a golden light that augmented Xu Qing. It even spat out auspicious clouds, causing the world to be dazzling, causing all the humans in the city to clearly see Xu Qing.

This was the first time it had spread auspicious signs for someone else other than the prince.

Hence, even more cheers rang out from the city and resounded through the clouds. It was even more majestic than when the Seventh Prince returned from the victory against the Holy Wave Race after the Palace Master died in battle.

Even the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether statue started shaking.

In the past, Xu Qing stood in the capital city, looking up as the Seventh Prince was carried away by the adoring crowds, and he could only remain silent amidst the mult.i.tude.

Today, within the capital city, the Seventh Prince stood atop the platform, looking at Xu Qing returning amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the people, and he could only remain silent as well.

There was also an endless fortune that rose from all directions and gathered toward Xu Qing.

During the process of his arrival, it rapidly gathered above his head until it transformed into something that could be seen by all humans…

A crown!
