Repugnant Gateway Chapter 250

An Zaiyue didn't know that Nie Qing had arrived at the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, so he naturally didn't know what Nie Qing's target was.

On the other hand, Nie Qing strangely did not take action in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect. He stood in the courtyard in a daze for half an hour, then turned around and left.

Skinny Du and the others, who had a face full of astonishment, didn't know what Nie Qing was doing here.

This was because this cold-faced fellow had said something before he entered, and he didn't say anything else.

The strangeness of this action shocked even Zhen Dao, who was hidden in the brocade palace.

His order was for Nie Qing to kill An Zeng and take away Little Seven, but Nie Qing didn't make a move.

On the side of the Martial Academies, An Zaihai felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he watched Chang Huan leave.

When he had first entered Fang Gu City, he had never thought that a huge Martial Arts Academy would one day land on his shoulders to carry him.

Although he had more power and position before his rebirth, he still felt great pressure.

Back then, the Holy Emperor of the Great Xi, Chen Nuo, had said that … An Zaiyue wasn't suitable to be an official.

Chen said, ""If it weren't for me, no one would use you.

If it weren't for me, no one would dare use you.

Your personality is like a rampaging brat. It's natural for you to be at odds with someone who knows how to be an official.

But I like to use people like you, and I also want to make the officials afraid of you, that's why I gave you the mages.

With you around, the official wouldn't dare to commit any evil deeds.

""With me here, you won't die mysteriously.""

However, for Da Xi, that master of the headquarter died for no apparent reason.

It had occurred to him that perhaps Chen had known why he had died.

But what would Chen Wuzuo choose from the son who killed him?

Would he kill his son because of a dead An Zhe?

Anjou shook his head.

No matter what, he had to get revenge.

Don't worry, one by one.

Kill all the enemies in Yan Kingdom first, then return to Da Xi.

An Zeng took a glance at the dilapidated bookstore, as well as the craftsmen who were mending and tidying it up.

As An Zeng walked over, one of the artisans suddenly shouted, ""Master An …""

An Xuan stared blankly for a moment. Suddenly, he realized that this voice was very familiar.

""You … why are you here?""

""Master An, you asked me to go to the library to carry things. There are fewer people inside.""

An Zhan nodded and pointed at the bookstore. ""Go inside and clean it up.""

The craftsman bowed his head and trotted into the library.

An Xuan intentionally waited for a while, then pretended not to be at ease and followed him in.

There was no one on the first floor. He went straight up to the second floor.

The stairs had just been repaired, and they were still trembling as they walked up them.

After reaching the second floor, An Zui saw the person who definitely shouldn't be here … An Chengli.

""Eunuch An, why are you dressed like this?""

""I'm afraid of death.""

""I don't know where else I can go, so I have to come to you.""

There are spies all over the Tian Qi Sect, I don't dare to go.

After some thought, he realized that the Martial Arts Academy was really deserted. Those people couldn't even be bothered to keep an eye on them. It would be easier for them to sneak in. ""

""What happened?""

""Your Majesty... Your Majesty, there must be a problem.""

An Chengli sighed and sat down tiredly. ""Although the actions of the King are not much different from what I originally thought, but I still feel that something is wrong. That look … is definitely not something that the King has.""

I suspect now that the King is being controlled. It must be some sort of witchcraft.

""Perhaps we were wrong from the start. The empress dowager didn't want to kill the king, but to control him. We were deceived from the start.""

An Zhan stayed silent for a while before shaking his head. ""Not necessarily. If the empress dowager had such methods, she wouldn't have waited.""

""Right now.""

An Chengli was stunned for a moment. ""That's right …""

""This transformation should have started when the empress dowager was pregnant.""

A few days ago, the King told me that the Empress Dowager was already pregnant … So the Empress Dowager is in no hurry to kill the King. She will wait until the child is born.

The reason why she wanted to control the King was most likely to give that child of hers a proper identity.

""Now start controlling the king. When the time comes, everyone will declare that the child is the king's … The empress dowager has turned her son into a grandson, no one will doubt her.""

An Chengli nodded. ""Your analysis is very reasonable. I'm afraid that's the case.""

Her Majesty's heart was set on being queen, and when the child was born, she would bring down the king.

If there were no descendants of the King, the court officials below would definitely be in chaos. At that time, there would be countless people who would want to elect those external members of the royal family to inherit the throne. Who wouldn't want to control a Swallow King?

""But once the King has it, the court officials will have no choice.""

""That's right,"" said Anjou. ""Before this child grew up, the Empress had many years to control the Yan Kingdom.

""Even if she isn't really a king, she's the only one who can make the decision.""

An Chengli sighed, ""It's a pity, my king. I was ambitious, but I was able to endure it. In the end, I still …""

""There might be a way.""

An Chengli said, ""I can't go anywhere these days. I can only rely on you.""

If the King was being controlled, Nie Qing's goal was to get close to the King.

I escaped because I felt the king was going to kill me.

""Moreover, once the King is controlled, there's no way to hide the matter with Xiao Qidao … So I have to see you. You have to protect Xiao Qidao well and move away as soon as possible. I'm guessing that the empress dowager already knows the news.""

An Xuan's face changed. This was the most terrifying thing of all.

Within Empyrean Terminus Palace, only Mu Changyan and An Chengli knew that Xiao Qidao was the former Crown Prince's blood. If Mu Changyan was being controlled, then this secret would no longer remain a secret.

If the empress dowager knew that the former crown prince still had blood and bones, there was no way she wouldn't make a move.

""How long do you think this king has been wondering?""

Anjou asked.

An Chengli thought about it carefully. ""It's been four or five days, ever since Nie Qing entered the palace as a personal guard.""

An Zaidao frowned. ""That's not right. If the King has been under control for a few days, why did he only make a move on Xiao Qidao today?""

I'm guessing that the person who directly controls the King and Nie Qing definitely isn't Empress Dowager Su.

""And this person is obviously selfish!""

An Chengli was an extremely smart person, so he reacted after hearing An Zaidao's analysis. ""Right … this person must have his own plans, so he didn't want the empress dowager to know about Xiao Qidao's situation so quickly.""

This person should know very well, of course Empress Dowager Su wouldn't let anyone else know that he controlled the emperor.

So he knew that once he was of no use, Empress Dowager Su would be the first to kill him.

Thus, this person knew that his life was one more day than the King's.

""As long as the king dies, Empress Dowager Su will kill him.""

An Xuan nodded. ""That's right. This person knew what would happen to him, so he decided to keep the news to himself … The question now is, who is this person, and what is he planning to do?""

An Zhan pondered for a while before his eyes lit up. ""I know how to investigate … The reason Empress Dowager Su used this method to control the king must be because she didn't know before.""

In other words, this person had just recently entered the brocade palace.

Or perhaps, after entering the Embroidery Palace, he had never been given any importance.

""So as long as there's a way to find out who Empress Dowager Su has met more often these days, it won't be hard for this person to surface.""

An Chengli said, ""That's right. If you think so, then it shouldn't be difficult to find this person.""

""But unfortunately, I have no way to return to the palace now …""

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped and looked at An Zaiyue strangely. ""I know who it is … The newly promoted Chief Eunuch of the Embroidery Palace, Zhen Dao!""

Zhen Dao cared about face the most. When he first became a Chief Eunuch, he came every day …

This chapter is not complete, please turn the page

Wandering around, he liked the feeling of being respected.

However, Zhen Dao hadn't appeared for days ever since the Gao Family assassinated the king.

""He's been in the palace all the time, but he can't be used. Li Changlu was promoted after he disappeared.""

""When Li Changlu is around, of course he won't get up,"" he argued.

But Li Changlu would keep him until Empress Dowager Su needed him.

""Right, Li Changlu is dead, I killed him.""

An Chengli smiled. ""I guessed.""

An Zhan said, ""If we find Zhen Dao now, there should be a way to save the King, and then there's Nie Qing.""

""That is a man of iron and steel. If he knew that he was being controlled, he would definitely suffer a lot when he wakes up.""

An Chengli shook his head, ""That's easier said than done. Even if I could enter the Embroidery Palace, I wouldn't necessarily be able to see ZhenDao.""

Now, he would definitely find a place to hide. Moreover, for the sake of his own safety, he might not necessarily stay in the Embroidery Palace.

""Empress Dowager Su will also send experts to watch over him … And in order to save the king and Nie Qing, we have to take Zhen Dao out alive.""

An Zhan stayed silent for a while before saying, ""I will think of a way to resolve this issue. Don't leave the Martial Arts Academy for the next few days.""

Don't pretend to be a craftsman, you'll find out sooner or later.

""Later on, you will live in this bookstore, and no one is allowed to go up the third floor. Right now, the people in charge of maintaining order in the Martial Arts Academy are all people of our sect. I will arrange for people to protect you.""

An Chengli clasped his fists and said, ""Thank you, Master An.""

An Zeng supported him and said, ""What are you thanking me for? I didn't say thank you even though you helped me so much.""

After arranging for An Chengli's gifts, An Zhe was in a hurry to get back to the Tian Qi Sect.

Since he knew that Xiao Qidao was in danger, An Zhe did not dare to waste even a second.

When he returned to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect and heard that Nie Qing had been here before, he stood in the courtyard for another hour and then left, he also felt that it was strange.

He thought about how someone was secretly watching him while he was on his way to the Martial Arts Academy. It was most likely Nie Qing.

Nie Qing waited until he entered the Martial Arts Academy before returning to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect. He wanted to capture Xiao Qidao, but why didn't he do anything in the end?

There were waves of lingering fear. The people from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect would not be wary of Nie Qing. If Nie Qing were to suddenly make a move, Xiao Qidao would be in danger.

Fortunately, he had made the judgment that Auntie Ye should bring Xiao Qidao to live in the Heaven Defying Seal.

And just when An Zeng and An Chengli speculated on the identity of the person controlling Yan Wang Mu and Changyan, Zhen Dao was about to die.

The old man in black stood behind Zhen Dao without saying a word.

Zhen Dao opened his eyes and glanced at the old man, ""Why are you in such a hurry to make a move?""

I thought I'd live for at least another year. ""

The black-clothed old man coldly said, ""Originally, you should have been able to live for a year, but I've already seen through your tricks, so there's no use in keeping you alive.""

You should regret it, if you did not jump out by yourself, who would have known that you know the Silver Needle Gu Technique?

""Perhaps you are already regretting it now … You can't blame others.""

Zhen Dao smiled bitterly, ""I really regret it. Back then, I wanted to climb up the mountain too much. I felt that the opportunity came when Li Changlu went missing, so I impatiently ran out … I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Su's bodyguard would be able to see through my plan so quickly.""

So … Even though you're wearing a mask, I can still guess who you are.

Why did you help her?

Let me think … Could it be that evil seed is yours? ""

Zhen Dao's smile turned bright. ""No wonder then, Empress Dowager Su's tastes are really heavy.""

""But have you thought about how long you can keep Mu Changyan under control once I die? How long will you live once Mu Changyan dies?""

The black-clothed elder stayed silent for a while before saying, ""I'm different from you. She won't kill me.""

Zhen Dao's smile changed from a brilliant smile to a sad one, ""Hahahaha … you are really naive. Do it, I will wait for you below. I think … .at the slowest of one year, we will meet again.""

Or maybe it won't take that long? ""
