Urban Romantic Divine Doctor-Chapter 1216 - 1213: The End of an Era

Xu Wendong murmured, "Indeed, there is a grudge between us over the matter of my wife, you have no reason to help me."

At this point, he paused: "But your surname is Mu."

"Mu, as in bathing in imperial grace!"

"In your childhood, you were an orphan, wandering the world in loneliness, with solitude, hunger, and coldness as companions."

"Until you met the late Emperor Qinzhen."

"That year." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Qinzhen was still a prince."

"There was a world of difference between you two, yet you connected as old friends upon first meeting."

"He brought you under his wing."

"And you, using your intellect, helped him clear many obstacles, growing into the future crown prince of Frostflower Kingdom."

"Thus, he granted you the surname Mu."

"After that, with your assistance, Qinzhen ascended to the throne step by step, ensuring the enduring prosperity of Frostflower Kingdom."

"Ten thousand years ago, Qinzhen ascended to the Upper Realm."

"Before his ascension, he entrusted you with the heavy responsibility of guardianship."

"Granted you the power to oversee the state!"

"As long as you are willing, you can completely depose Qing Chen and establish a new monarch."

"You could even become king yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunche’s pupils trembled intensely, clearly not expecting Xu Wendong to bring up these matters.

There were many who knew of his origins.

However.

The late emperor’s entrustment of guardianship before his ascension and granting of power to oversee the state was known only to his Daoist couple!

Clearly, these matters were told to him by Banruo.

Xu Wendong continued, "Qinzhen was a monarch renowned through the ages, he did not care whose hands the country was in, he cared whether the people could live good lives."

"For this reason, he did not mind you overthrowing Qing Chen’s rule and taking his place."

"Actually, all these words mean nothing else."

"The life and death of the people of Frostflower Kingdom have nothing to do with me, I don’t want to get involved in this mess at all." Saying this, he willed, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword appeared in his palm.

"This item should return to its rightful owner!" Saying so, he released the contract and controlled the Dragon-Slaying Sword to fly towards Mu Yunche.

Mu Yunche reached out to grasp the sword hilt.

But then, an unforeseen change suddenly occurred.

The originally docile Dragon-Slaying Sword suddenly struggled violently at this moment, as if it did not want to be controlled by him.

Mu Yunche’s face changed dramatically, clearly not expecting the Dragon-Slaying Sword to resist him so, without thinking much, he hurriedly said, "Old friend, it’s me!"

Yet the Dragon-Slaying Sword still ignored him, breaking free from Mu Yunche’s control, and immediately flew behind Xu Wendong.

Seeing this scene.

Mu Yunche’s face lost all color, his pupils uncontrollably trembling, giving the impression of a soulless man.

"Could this be the fate of Frostflower Kingdom?" Mu Yunche seemed to age instantly.

He originally did not want to help Xu Wendong.

But now.

He had no choice but to help him.

No!

To be precise, he had to help Frostflower Kingdom.

He had to live up to the late emperor’s trust in him.

Mu Yunche sighed lightly, looking at Xu Wendong, his eyes full of complex emotions: "Speak, how can I help you?"

Xu Wendong said, "Qing Chen has been possessed by someone, this matter has become an established fact, the only thing we can do now is find a way to eliminate him."

"However, with our strength, wanting to eliminate him seems as difficult as ascending to the heavens."

Mu Yunche said, "You have quite a bit of self-awareness!"

He knew Xu Wendong’s power was very terrifying.

But Emperor Qing was the strongest in Frostflower Kingdom, without exception.

Plus, he also had the Imperial Jade Seal, even if he and Xu Wendong joined forces, they couldn’t get close to him.

Xu Wendong said, "Tell me about Emperor Qing’s behavior during this time!"

Having been possessed, Emperor Qing would surely reveal some clues or unusual behavior, if they could use this as a breakthrough point, there was a chance to eliminate him.

Mu Yunche did not hide anymore and said, "Your Majesty started behaving unusually a year ago, at that time he often ordered people to refine calming elixirs."

"Initially, I thought he was just too tired from the busy state affairs, and didn’t see it as a big deal."

"Until later, he secretly ordered people to search for beauties across the land, then I realized that Your Majesty seemed to have become a different person."

"Because the previous Your Majesty was not infatuated with women."

Xu Wendong interjected, "So, you’re saying that Emperor Qing has added a lot of beauties to his harem this past year?"

Mu Yunche nodded, "Already over three thousand."

"Wow, Emperor Qing is truly formidable!" Xu Wendong couldn’t help exclaiming, over three thousand concubines in a year, how could he manage them all?

Changing the topic, Xu Wendong then asked, "Did the Empress not intervene in this matter?"

Although Emperor Qing was the emperor of Frostflower Kingdom.

The harem was controlled by the Empress.

Even if the emperor wanted to take concubines, he had to obtain the empress’s consent.

Mu Yunche said, "The Empress Dowager entered closed-door cultivation ten years ago, she doesn’t know about this matter at all."

The speaker was inadvertent, but the listener was intentional.

Hearing that the Empress Dowager entered closed-door cultivation ten years ago, Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up, "I see, I see, I see."

Mu Yunche frowned, "What do you know?"

Xu Wendong asked back, "Do you think Emperor Qing is still the Emperor Qing he once was?"

Mu Yunche shook his head, "Your Majesty is still Your Majesty of the past, but he gives off a sense of strangeness."

Xu Wendong: "That’s right, Emperor Qing is still Emperor Qing as before, even if possessed, the other party has not completely absorbed his memory."

Mu Yunche acknowledged with a hum: "What you say is indeed accurate."

Xu Wendong continued, "During this period, has Emperor Qing been anxiously waiting for the Empress to emerge from closed-door cultivation?"

Mu Yunche looked suspicious, "How do you know about this?"

Xu Wendong laughed, "Emperor Qing isn’t just an ordinary person, he’s the emperor of Frostflower Kingdom, taking over his body isn’t as simple as it seems."

"After all, as the saying goes, dragon and phoenix bring prosperity."

"If I’m not wrong, the key step in possessing Emperor Qing is dual cultivation with the Empress."

"Once the other party obtains the empress’s phoenix body, then the final possession will be complete."

"By that time, Emperor Qing will become an unfamiliar existence."

Mu Yunche was stunned, "Is there really such a thing?"

"In matters like this, I can be considered an authority." Xu Wendong showed a confident smile, as similar events were recorded in the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique.

Seeing the confident smile on Xu Wendong’s face, Mu Yunche’s heart again surged with a strong anger; after all, his Daoist couple had been forcibly taken by Xu Wendong.

"Ahem!" Xu Wendong cleared his throat and said, "The urgent task is to meet with the Empress to prevent her from dual cultivating with Emperor Qing."

Mu Yunche shook his head, "The place where the Empress Dowager is in closed cultivation is heavily guarded, even I can’t approach it."

Xu Wendong’s mouth curled into a subtle and meaningful smile, "A place you can’t approach doesn’t mean I can’t."

Mu Yunche revealed a resentful look, then said, "The Empress Dowager’s closed cultivation place is at the Phoenix Cry Mountain in the western part of the city, with your cultivation level, you can sense the precise location of the Empress Dowager there."

Xu Wendong slowly stood up, bowed to Mu Yunche, "In that case, Mr. Xu will take his leave!"

After speaking, he took to the sky, disappearing from Mu Yunche’s pupils.

He was going to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager of Frostflower Kingdom!
