Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 929 - 389: "Looks Like It’s Our Turn to Be Poisoned.

Huang Daoyun tightly gripped his hands inside his sleeves, unable to conceal the panic in his eyes, not daring to glance again at the White Fox Girl.

Has Emperor Tedi truly manifested?

But... Emperor Tedi did not deliver an oracle!

I am an Emperor's Disciple. Now that His Majesty is gravely ill, Dongfang Xinghe, who has long been designated as Crown Prince, is the rightful heir to the world. How can I waver because of a white fox?

Huang Daoyun closed his eyes and took a deep breath, casting a ghostly glance at the armored sharp soldiers in the city alleys.

The hundred thousand army in the city is the true Yunshan Army, loyal to His Majesty and to the rightful rule. Even now, very few have knelt.

With this army, can we not capture Dongfang Xinglan who entered the city alone?

At this thought, Huang Daoyun's expression softened a bit, then he turned to Zhao Junshan. At this moment, the Master of the Qinglong Sect was looking excitedly at the White Fox Girl following Dongfang Xinglan, unable to conceal the brilliance in his eyes.

Huang Daoyun knew that Zhao Junshan coveted not the Fox Demon itself, but the Heavenly-given Power that the Fox Demon possessed.

That Zhao Junshan showed such an expression indicated that this White Fox could indeed transform into a human and speak, unlike some folk trick.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Huang Daoyun, after inviting Dongfang Xinglan into the City Lord Mansion, whispered to Zhao Junshan and Lu Jin'an: "After capturing King Qin, I can temporarily refrain from sending this White Fox to Beijing.

Both of you have profound cultivation knowledge and understand martial arts better than I do. The secrets on this White Fox are yours to explore. After all, even with the White Fox's help, King Qin did not achieve Martial God, indicating she hasn't fully comprehended it. As long as you assist me in capturing King Qin, everything is negotiable."

Zhao Junshan thoughtfully glanced at Huang Daoyun, about to agree, when Lu Jin'an calmly said, "What if the White Fox vanishes after capturing King Qin? Let me take a look first."

With that, he directly walked into the hall.

Zhao Junshan smiled, "I'll also take a look first."

Huang Daoyun looked gloomily at their backs. Indeed, this group of vulgar martial artists is never to be trusted. Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, I must petition His Majesty to send troops to pacify this Jianghu and let these martial artists know who is the true master of the world!

After a deep breath, Huang Daoyun put on a smile and stepped into the hall.

Around the City Lord Mansion, the citizens gathered to watch, unable to conceal their excitement as they discussed the manifestation of Emperor Tedi, particularly those who believed in Emperor Tedi, shouting slogans like "King Qin wins, the world is at peace."

In an inn not far away, Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors in black Supervisor Robes watched the cheering populace indifferently. Li Xuanzhen's third disciple, Wen Yuan, sneered, "A bunch of idiotic rebels!"

"Third Senior Sister, I've already noted down their names." Another supervisor spoke rapidly, "Once King Qin is captured, we'll use the heads of these people to make offerings and quell the rebellion."

Wen Yuan nodded softly, then another supervisor hesitated and asked, "Is that White Fox truly Emperor Tedi's manifestation, granting King Qin an oracle?"

Wen Yuan remained expressionless, "Emperor Tedi's statue isn't seated in the center. If King Qin had truly received the oracle, she wouldn't fear the 'Everlasting Song.'"

Historically, only the emperors of the Eastern Dynasty were unaffected by the 'Everlasting Song,' for after ascending the throne, they would receive the god's blessing, becoming the supreme ruler.

"If the 'Everlasting Song' affects her, the supposed auspicious sign is nonsense."

"Third Senior Sister, if the 'Everlasting Song' doesn't work, then we..."

Wen Yuan coldly glanced at her junior sister, "Legitimacy belongs only to His Majesty, only to the Crown Prince!"

The other Heavenly Observation Bureau Inspectors in the room immediately fell silent as if struck by cold.

"Let's proceed," Wen Yuan said slowly. "Wait outside the city. King Qin is powerful; previously killing Song Zhong and others at Dragon Valley Ridge shows her determination, so maintain distance and exhaust her strength first!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

······

The gates of Jinnan City remained wide open, celebrations continued inside the City Lord Mansion.

Huang Daoyun gestured to the armored soldiers around the hall, "All of you leave. Yunshan State wishes to pledge allegiance to Lord Qin; staying here will only sully Lord Qin's eyes. Get out..."

As the governor of a state, Huang Daoyun held both military and political power, thus at his command, the soldiers began to exit, except for a few...

Huang Daoyun's eyes turned fierce, "You, get out of here!"

Lu Jin'an calmly stated at this time, "These are my people, Mr. Huang, I ask for your understanding."

Huang Daoyun's expression slightly changed, "What are you plotting by placing your men here?"

"Just broadening their horizons," Lu Jin'an glanced at Dongfang Xinglan, seated at the side, "After all, because of King Qin, they've all been separated from their wives and families, destroying homes."

"Nonsense!" Huang Daoyun slammed the table, "Song Zhong betrayed King Qin first, yet you trouble King Qin instead of the Crown Prince, what's the reason?!"

Lu Jin'an swirled the wine in his cup, "But she did not save the loyal Jinyi Guard."

"She is the ruler, you are the subjects. How can a ruler save a subject?" Huang Daoyun glared, then looked at Dongfang Xinglan with a smile, "Your Highness, you are too kind; these servants should be properly dealt with, or else they'll continue to disregard the monarchy!"

Dongfang Xinglan gazed at the exquisite dishes on the table, slowly stating, "Huang Daoyun, whatever means you have, use them. There's no need for pretenses."

"Look at what you're saying, King Qin. Now, except for the land under King Yu, all southern states belong to you. I genuinely submit!"

As he spoke, Huang Daoyun glanced at Zhao Junshan, sitting motionless, a glint of severity flashing in his eyes. He then slowly stood up, holding the Governor Seal, Tiger Talisman, and map of Yunshan State, walked to Dongfang Xinglan, knelt, and offered them: "This official is willing to lead Yunshan State's people and military to pledge allegiance under King Qin's banner for the world's peace!"

Dongfang Xinglan calmly looked at Huang Daoyun, "Unroll the map."

With that, she picked up the Qin King Sword, using the sword scabbard to sweep the dishes onto the ground.

Huang Daoyun respectfully knelt forward two steps, placing the Governor Seal and Tiger Talisman aside before slowly unrolling the map.

Lu Jin'an watched the scene unfold. Given Huang Daoyun's capabilities, he couldn't perform a 'Knife is Seen when Map is Exhausted' assassination attempt on King Qin, so what Dongfang Xinglan worried about was poison hidden within the map.

Huang Daoyun unrolled the map unhurriedly, using his hands to smooth it out as he began explaining the fiscal and livelihood situations of Yunshan State's various bureaus. His hands never left the map the entire time.

Dongfang Xinglan listened quietly, while the White Fox crouching at the corner of the table sniffed gently, showing no abnormality.

After Huang Daoyun finished his introduction, Dongfang Xinglan stood up, "Since Mr. Huang is so sincere, then let's inform Yunshan State with my king's proclamation." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Huang Daoyun gave a slight smile, "I shall comply with Your Highness's decree."

Dongfang Xinglan squinted slightly; though feeling that everything was going a bit too smoothly, she said nothing and walked toward the hall exit.

Upon reaching the door, she suddenly stopped and said faintly to Zhao Junshan, "Master Zhao, if you can stop this Jinyi Guard rebel, you may come to the Qin Army Camp to explore the mysteries of the White Fox bestowed by Emperor Tedi."

Dongfang Xinglan knew the three deities were fictitious beings, but to conquer the world, one must revere the gods as the supreme beings, or else become enemies with all citizens of the dynasty.

Zhao Junshan's eyes brightened, he slowly stood and bowed with a fist salute, "This commoner thanks King Qin."

Huang Daoyun coldly glanced at Zhao Junshan. Commoner?

This means he's already adopting the mindset of each new regime worshipping its own ministers and even discarding the title conferred by His Majesty.

Such a person must also be eliminated.

Dongfang Xinglan walked out of the hall, and the door closed tightly.

Zhao Junshan slowly walked to Lu Jin'an and smiled slightly, "Today, you won't harm King Qin one bit."

However, Lu Jin'an looked toward the door and spoke slowly, "If I were you, I'd surely take King Qin's safety as my duty."

Zhao Junshan's eye twitched, as Dongfang Xinglan and Huang Daoyun's proclamation resounded from outside, followed by Huang Daoyun inviting Dongfang Xinglan to toast to the military and civilians of Jinnan City.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly rushed outside.

"King Qin, this wine cannot be drunk..."

Lu Jin'an patted Zhiyu, who had swept the table clear of dishes, "Zhiyu, we should've been poisoned too."

The poison isn't in the wine.

Zhiyu raised her head to look at Lu Jin'an, showing no signs of being poisoned; she asked dazedly.

"Master, what does it mean to be poisoned?"
