"What happened?" Xu Changnan's face was extremely serious.
After the Jinling Formation was modified, it gained extremely strong resistance to evil things, and these Saint Lord-level experts were no longer as constrained by various situations as before.
However, just a second ago... Xu Changnan was thinking about whether he should relax or use up all the holidays approved by Huaya this year... and then, the next second, this incident happened.
Fortunately, through long-term struggles against evil beings, Xu Changnan had long been accustomed to this state of being ready to go to the battlefield at any time... so he had no complaints.
“Teacher.” Li Huo took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious. He stepped forward and quietly recounted the many events that had occurred that day.
"...What?" Xu Changnan's expression shifted. He suddenly realized something and looked at Principal Zhang Mingxuan beside him. "It wouldn't be that, would it?"
"That should be it." Principal Zhang's eyes flickered, his voice low. "I was wondering why that person in the capital suddenly updated the information on this topic..."
"Now, it should be that the one in the capital who has realized that something is not right in certain areas. This is laying the groundwork for us... giving us an early warning."
The others present had no objections; the president of the Huaya Cultivation Association was renowned worldwide for his foresight and strategic planning. Many of his hidden schemes were deployed without the understanding of what was happening...
But in reality, years or decades later, these underhanded individuals achieved terrifying feats beyond imagination.
“But…” Governor Duan stared at the semi-saint ancient demon Slubar in Su Han’s palm, sensed something, and his eyes twitched.
Why did he feel that this terrifying being... vaguely reminded him of the Chief of Staff?
"Wait a minute." Governor Duan sensed the ancient demon before him again, and only after confirming that it did not possess any aura of divine power did he breathe a sigh of relief...
Although the situation is a bit strange, he must have sensed something wrong just now...
Su Han lowered his eyes, not speaking to the three newcomers. He manipulated the Jinling Array Diagram, gathering the power of the Great Dao, causing endless Dao traces to gradually wrap around and seal over Purple Gold Mountain.
The entire Zijing Mountain was glowing. It truly resembled an ancient sacred mountain coming back to life, possessing an unimaginable sacredness.
"You've come at the right time." Su Han exhaled, his eyes transforming into Rinnegan. He glanced coldly at Sluba, whose body stiffened. Finally, Sluba's eyes also transformed into Rinnegan. Having fallen victim to Su Han's eye technique, Sluba was now completely devoid of any will to resist.
Su Han casually tossed it onto the ground and said softly, "The situation at Zijing Mountain is a bit complicated... but I've suppressed it for now. You guys deal with these two... especially the one I have."
"I've hypnotized him. Just ask him whatever you want. He should be able to give you a lot of useful information."
“By the way,” Su Han paused briefly, then spoke with a serious expression, “Old Xu.”
“…Ah!” Xu Changnan was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening and quickly responded.
“After this matter is resolved, we will re-accept the equipment from your side. I will draft a new array diagram,” Su Han paused for a moment, then continued, “a specific array diagram for Zijing Mountain.”
“…Okay.” Xu Changnan nodded. Recalling the latest information released by the Innate Eight Trigrams Diagram team, he roughly understood what had happened…
It can only be said that what was originally thought to be a long way off before the ancient demon race was fully revived, according to intelligence records, now seems to be just around the corner.
Su Han nodded slightly, then drew the array diagram of the Kamar-Taj lineage again before stepping inside.
Back in his room, Su Han went to the front of the computer and started typing on the keyboard, organizing the new array diagram. Thoughts flashed through his mind: "The situation... has become a bit complicated."
Su Han's eyes flickered. He had just used his Observation Haki to clearly sense the terrifying, long-buried beings deep within Purple Thorn Mountain. Several of them even made Su Han feel a sense of danger…
Of course, this doesn't really mean anything.
The power Su Han possesses is too complex, encompassing time and space, as well as the concept of immortality... If a real fight breaks out, there might be some costs, but the final result will definitely be Su Han single-handedly annihilating the Zijing Mountain demon clan.
However, Su Han has no intention of competing with them for the time being.
Firstly, the ancient demon race isn't evil; even if you defeat and devour them, you won't gain any energy... Secondly, they haven't shown any signs of resurrection in the near future, and after some time, Su Han's strength might even be approaching the next realm of sages...
Ultimately, time is on his side, so the longer it drags on, the better.
After completing the new array diagram, Su Han sent it to Xu Changnan, stretched, closed his eyes, and entered the misty space.
...
The Hall of Mist, shrouded in rising gray fog, remains as mysterious and eternal as ever.
Meanwhile, the Hall of Mist was bustling with activity.
"Impressive!" Conan clapped his hands, staring at Emperor Qing and Fan Xian with admiration. "So efficient... It's only been a day, right? You're telling me, Fan Xian has already been semi-appointed as the Crown Prince?"
"Excuse my bluntness, but did your ancient Chinese dynasties change crown princes this quickly?"
As he spoke, Conan glanced at Huang Rong and Ying Zheng from time to time.
"Don't look at me. I've only just taken this position, and I haven't even warmed my seat yet. Besides, I don't have any descendants! You've completely misunderstood the question about the crown prince." Huang Rong's lips twitched, and she quickly denied it.
“If it were me in the past, it would have been very troublesome. But for me now, it’s very easy.” Ying Zheng said succinctly, his expression unchanged.
Conan paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. Yes, for Ying Zheng, who is now on the path to godhood in the Qin Dynasty world... the entire court is practically his personal fiefdom.
His prestige is too high. Even if he wanted to abolish the ancient system and reinstate a crown prince, countless civil officials might try to dissuade him, but they would be absolutely unable to stop him from carrying out his will.
Of course, Ying Zheng wouldn't do something so meaningless.
"Actually, I'm still a bit confused," Fan Xian sighed softly.
Don't even mention him. The moment he entered Kyoto, a bunch of Imperial Guards surrounded him. If he hadn't hinted to Wuzhu, there wouldn't have been a problem... Wuzhu would have already fought his way out and escaped Kyoto with him.
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations... First, Emperor Qing deposed the Crown Prince for a very absurd reason, and then... at a private banquet, he introduced Fan Xian to a group of the top civil and military officials of the Great Qing Dynasty...
Finally, Emperor Qing stated directly Fan Xian's identity, and declared that Fan Xian was his best and most satisfactory successor…
