Yiyun Shangcheng nodded, "Very good, then I, the King, can do many things now, hehe!" Compared to himself, Nan Xuzong is not qualified enough!
The six people were still confused about what Yiyun Shangcheng meant, but he had enough time to make the Western Regions even stronger!
He, from Yiyun Shangcheng, will be the greatest king in the history of the Western Regions! But all of this depends on him overcoming all difficulties and obstacles!
The five elders exchanged a glance, then another with Murs, before all six knelt down. Elder Jin said, "Your Majesty, please return to your duties and make our Great Western Regions even more prosperous!"
"Isn't it good now?" Yi Yun Shangcheng immediately began to adjust his breathing. He needed to master his martial arts skills as soon as possible, otherwise Nan Xu Cong might take advantage of his weakness!
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself! It's best if you don't practice your internal energy for the next three days, or you'll definitely suffer a qi deviation!" Murs said anxiously.
Nan Xuzong sneered. He looked at Mullers and got up from the stone bed. "Mullers, do you know what it means to be possessed by a demon?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty understands it as, it is..." It was too tragic. Mullers was being dragged up from the ground by Yiyun Shangcheng, who was choking him!
"Your Majesty!" The five elders were shocked. This was not their king! Heavens, this was terrifying! His eyes were blood red! His aura was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe!
"This is what it means to go mad, Mulls, do you understand?" Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered, putting Mulls back on the ground and gently patting his shoulder.
Mullers was so terrified he was scared out of his wits! His legs were trembling uncontrollably. Just now, he felt as if he had seen his own soul in the blood-red eyes of Evian City!
I must have died at that moment!
Yiyun Shangcheng chuckled wickedly, "Just say what you have to say! I've already taken care of things in the Western Regions, so don't bother me anymore!"
"Yes!" Cold sweat poured down the backs of the five elders.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Murs gasped for breath. He could neither stand nor kneel properly, and could only crawl to the foot of the city wall. "Your Majesty, Princess Muchen has woken up! She is demanding to see the Prince Consort! We have lost control of her. Please make a decision, Your Majesty!"
"Oh? She's awake?" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled, then quickly pressed a few acupoints on himself. "Lead the way, I'm going to see her!" This was probably the power of the child in her womb that woke the mother, right? Heh, it seems my medicine is still lacking!
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report!" Murs decided that he had to tell the truth no matter what, otherwise it would pose a huge threat to the future of the Western Regions!
"Speak," Yiyun Shangcheng coldly snorted, "Five elders, go and summon the prince consort back to the underground palace for me later!"
"Yes!" The five elders immediately accepted the order and left.
"Please, Your Majesty, return to the Western Regions Palace. Consorts Anmida and Naxinado are waiting for your return!" Murs was truly reckless; of all things to say, he had to bring up these consorts!
Yiyun Shangcheng's eyes were cold as ice, his purple eyes tinged with blood as he looked at General Murs kneeling before him, the general who had always fought alongside him, a man who had risked his life for him! On the battlefield, he was the first to charge into battle for him! And when Yiyun Shenshan killed his father, the former King of the Western Regions, and he was forced to flee in defeat, it was Murs who waited for his return!
But now this man before him, once his brother, once his most beloved general, is also going against his will? Is he going to force him to do the same?
"I have already bestowed titles upon them, are those women still not satisfied?" Yiyun Shangcheng tried to calm his anger.
If I can't suppress it, I really will kill Mulls with one palm!
"The nobles hope that the king will leave an heir! To resolve the issue of succession!" Moores decided that since things had come to this point, it was better to say everything!
"Morse, are you forcing me?!" He stepped forward, a powerful force gathering in his hand. "Morse, do you want to go down and join the late king?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I only hope that Your Majesty can prioritize the greater good!" Murs struggled to breathe, managing to utter a single complete sentence with all his might.
Yiyun Shangcheng's lips twitched, his crimson eyes fixed on Murs. "My king's private matters are none of Murs's concern!"
"Your Majesty, please, please consider the greater good..."
"Your Majesty, please forgive General Murs! Please forgive General Murs!" At this moment, the five elders turned back and knelt at the foot of the upper city of Yiyun!
Yiyun Shangcheng felt a tightness in her chest, unable to release it! It was very uncomfortable!
He glared angrily, slowly releasing his large hand. "I have decided to pass the throne to Yiyun Muchen's son—Yiyun Xiaotian!"
"What? Your Majesty?" The five elders were utterly astonished. How did he know that Princess Mu Chen was carrying a prince instead of a princess? Moreover, did he mean that Yiyun Shangcheng did not intend to have any offspring of his own?
"Well? The inheritance issue has been resolved. What else do you have to say?" Yi Yun Shangcheng released Mulls, closed his eyes slightly, and pointed at Mulls from a distance. Instantly, a surge of true energy flowed through Mulls' body, and Mulls immediately felt completely refreshed.
Mulls felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell several times and then returned, and this life was thanks to the city of Yiyun!
"Thank you for your command, Your Majesty!" Murs immediately knelt down.
"The issue of my succession has been resolved, so you don't need to make any more trouble for me! This is the last time!" Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered. If he hadn't controlled his strength, if he hadn't considered that they were all doing this for the sake of the Western Regions, and if the five elders hadn't called him in time, he probably really wouldn't have been able to control himself and killed Murs... That family of generals who had served the Western Regions for generations would have been wiped out from then on!
Yiyun Shangcheng's eyes turned cold. "Take me to see the princess!"
"Your Majesty, how do you know the princess is carrying a prince?" Elder Jin knelt forward. "Please reconsider, Your Majesty! Since ancient times, the bloodline of the Yiyun Divine Clan has always been direct lineage, and it must not be interrupted!"
"No one is more suitable than the child in her womb! Can't you all sense that the child in her womb is more powerful than any of you?" Yi Yun Shangcheng threw down these cold words, flicked her sleeves, and walked directly into the dark room!
The dark room has nine floors and twenty-eight rooms, each with a different structure and each room is also different.
At this moment, in the twenty-eighth private room at the deepest bottom floor, Yi Yun Muchen frowned. She gently stroked her already protruding belly. She knew the baby was healthy, and the fetus was very active. Yi Yun Muchen guessed that it should be a boy.
But why did I wake up here? And where is Beigong Jueshi? Where did he go?
This must be an underground palace. If no one is there to guide him, he definitely won't be able to get out! Moreover, Yi Yun Muchen looked around and saw that he was surrounded by countless maids in linen clothes taking care of and guarding him. His martial arts skills were only rudimentary, and he didn't have a single trace of Gu poison on his body. He simply couldn't get out!
She knew that when she was brought here, she must have had all the poison in her body removed before being allowed to stay.
And that person, without even asking, was none other than his beloved older brother, Yiyun Shangcheng!
"Go, tell Yiyun Shangcheng that I want to see him! You lowly servants, go and tell him!" Yiyun Muchen was never the obedient and gentle type to begin with, and now she was even more irritable.
The maids around them didn't dare to make a sound, keeping their heads down and not daring to speak or move.
Yi Yun Muchen was furious. She tried to grab something with one hand, but found nothing. Finally, she grabbed the jade hairpin from her hair and quickly pressed it against her neck. "Tell Yi Yun to go to the city and come see me, or I will die here!"

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind, "Mu Chen."
Yi Yun Muchen shuddered and immediately pressed the jade hairpin against her neck, her eyes practically spitting fire. She coldly snorted, "You've come at the perfect time! Let me out, or I'll die right in front of you!" In this situation, Yi Yun Muchen had no intention of playing games with him anymore; a direct confrontation was better!
"Things from the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty are really bad. Jade hairpins, gold hairpins, and silver hairpins are all extremely easy to hurt yourself with!" Yi Yun Shangcheng said as if he were talking about something very ordinary, as if no one was threatening him!
"Don't come any closer!" Yi Yun Muchen pressed the jade hairpin against her skin. "If you take another step, I'll die right in front of you! When I'm in the underworld and see my father and mother, I'll tell them that you bullied me!"
"Hehe, what's the point of telling me?" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled. "All I know is that if you die, you will never see Bei Gong Jue Shi again!" His thin lips curled up slightly as he looked at Yi Yun Muchen with a hint of amusement.
Yi Yun Muchen was startled. Just then, a gust of wind swept by. Before Yi Yun Muchen could react, Yi Yun Shangcheng was already in front of her! He snatched the jade hairpin from Yi Yun Muchen's hand with lightning speed, and said disdainfully, "It's just a broken jade hairpin. We have plenty of silverware in the Great Western Regions!" As he spoke, he immediately tried to break the jade hairpin in half!
"No!" Yi Yun Muchen had already reacted to his speed, but seeing him about to break the jade hairpin made her heart ache!
"That was a token of love given to me by Jue Shi. If you destroy it, I will hate you for the rest of my life!" Yi Yun Muchen's eyes were burning with anger as he stared intently at the jade hairpin in Yi Yun Shangcheng's hand.
"Is that so?" Yi Yun Shangcheng looked at her amusedly, played with the jade hairpin for a moment, and examined it. Sure enough, she saw three words engraved on it: "Peerless Love".
Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered, "Peerless love? Heh, Mu Chen, explain to me, what truly constitutes love?"
"I don't know, don't ask me! Yiyun Shangcheng, you have no idea what love is, and you'd better never know!" Yiyun Muchen sneered, her pregnant belly protruding, and then she was about to step forward.
Yi Yun Shangcheng snorted coldly, his face now deep and cold. "Sit back on the couch, be good, don't make me repeat myself, otherwise, this jade hairpin of yours will surely turn to dust!" He smiled, and with a gentle flick of his finger, a cyan power swirled around his fingertip. Yi Yun Muchen was shocked, "Ghost Gu!"
"As expected of my good sister, you are probably the only one in the world who understands all the Gu poisons. Hehe, letting you stay here peacefully to protect your pregnancy sometimes makes me feel like I'm wasting your talents!" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled, withdrew the power of the ghost Gu, and pointed to the bed. Yi Yun Muchen suppressed her anger and sat back down on the bed.
"Give me back the jade hairpin, or I will never let you off the hook!" Yi Yun Muchen thought about getting back what Bei Gong Jue Shi had given her, so she made the request again.
"Tell me what love is. Tell me, and if I am satisfied, I will return the jade hairpin to you. If you cannot satisfy me, I will smash this jade hairpin in front of you." Yi Yun Shangcheng said with great interest, and then had a maid move a stool to Yi Yun Muchen's bedside.
Naturally, Yi Yun Shangcheng sat down and looked at Yi Yun Muchen expectantly, hoping to get an answer from her.
Yi Yun Muchen looked at him, feeling somewhat at a loss. She only sensed that he never loved, only wanted to achieve his own goals, and would stop at nothing, disregarding family ties and even life and death!
However, something felt off. He looked injured. How could he be injured? In this entire continent, the only person capable of harming him was that man named Nan Xuzong, but that man wasn't here, so it couldn't be him! The only one who could possibly hold his own against him was his own man, Beigong Jueshi, but Beigong Jueshi wasn't here, therefore…
"What are you thinking about?" Yi Yun Shangcheng asked immediately when he noticed that her eyes were somewhat distracted.
"Are you injured?" Yi Yunmu Chen asked. "Who injured you?"
"Heh heh, Mu Chen, you should worry about yourself!" Yi Yun Shangcheng laughed wildly. "You actually care about me? Do you think that will make me forget what I just asked you?"
"You hurt yourself, didn't you?" Yi Yun Muchen said coldly.
With a flick of her sleeve, Yiyun Shangcheng dismissed the maids standing to the side, making sure to close the stone gate behind her.
"That's right, my sister is indeed clever!" Yiyun Shangcheng sneered. "But every injury is the beginning of progress. You should be happy for me!"
"No, I'm not happy!" Yi Yunmu Chen sneered. "Why? Is it just for your ambition? The empire? The beauty?"
"You don't need to know these things! You only need to answer my questions!" Yiyun Shangcheng said coldly.
"I know, you've fallen in love with her, haven't you? It's her..." But before Yi Yun Muchen could finish speaking, Yi Yun Shangcheng was already in front of her, his large hand already gripping her delicate neck. "Don't think that I, the king, dare not kill you. Bei Gong Jueshi will serve me just as well!"
"You, you're so cruel!" Yi Yunmu Chen's eyes were filled with hatred.
Yi Yun Shangcheng's deep purple eyes flickered for a moment, then he released his grip and sat back down on his stool. "You'd better know your place, or don't blame me for being impolite! You know how powerful the Gu poison from the Western Regions is. Don't think that just because you know about Gu poison, I don't! When the time comes, I'll have Bei Gong Jue Shi taste ten different kinds every day, and I guarantee he'll become the most powerful Gu King in a month!"
"You dare!" Yi Yun Muchen immediately tried to stand up, but he pointed at Yi Yun Muchen and Yi Yun Muchen sat back down on the couch, unable to move!
"You keep threatening me, and you even threaten Jueshi. Do you think you can control everyone by doing this? Do you think we'll do things for you?" Yi Yun Muchen was furious!
"What I know is that you are now obediently sitting on the bed, following my every command. He, Beigong Jueshi, is also obediently following my orders, training all the medicine men for me. So, Mu Chen, tell me, aren't you already obediently serving me?" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled, shaking the jade hairpin in his hand. "Let me tell you, Beigong Jueshi has no chance of waking up. If you behave yourself and don't anger me, then I might consider letting him return to his former self on the fifteenth of each month." He raised his beautiful phoenix eyes slightly, looking at Yi Yun Mu Chen.
Yi Yunmu gritted her teeth, "You're despicable!"
"I am doing this for your own good. If you don't cooperate, well, then forget it!" Yi Yun Shangcheng smiled, compared the jade hairpin in her hand, and flicked it lightly with her fingers.
"No!" Yi Yun Muchen was startled, but unfortunately, she couldn't snatch her jade hairpin back! Damn it, he was a demon now, a demon she wanted to kill with her own hands! But, if she really went to do it, could she really bring herself to do it?
"Heh!" Yi Yun Shangcheng sneered, "To be honest, I'm very interested in your answer, but I'm running out of patience. I'll give you another chance because you're my sister! Speak, or I'll crush it. Anyway, Bei Gong Jue Shi won't know about this!"
"No!" Yi Yun Muchen said anxiously, her eyes looking at Yi Yun Shangcheng with a hint of pleading, "Brother, I beg you, please let us go!"
"Hmm?" Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes turned cold. "This is not the answer!" He said, a powerful force already gathering in his hand!
“I’ll speak!” Yi Yun Muchen said, “The love I understand is about the other person’s happiness, happiness, understand? It’s about being together, it’s about understanding each other. Although you’ve separated Jue Shi and me several times, we’re still together because of my feelings for him and my love for him, because of his love for me. And I have his child. That’s love, understand? It’s that I’m willing to wait for him, whether he’s a demon or a human, alive or dead, I’m willing to wait for him! That’s love!” Yi Yun Muchen looked at him, her eyes filled with hatred and coldness. “You’ve used me several times because of your power, but Jue Shi chose to be tolerant of me, to love me, so we’re still together! And you? She’s already married, she has a man who loves her. You’re just an outsider, you’ll never be able to get into her heart! Do you think you can win her love by doing whatever you think you can? No, Yi Yun Shangcheng, you’re wrong, you’re wrong!”
"Enough!" Yi Yun Shangcheng roared, almost causing the entire underground palace to collapse! But as he roared, he slapped Yi Yun Muchen across the face!
Yi Yun Muchen was so badly beaten that she fell onto the bed. If the bed hadn't been soft, she would have been seriously injured! If the bed hadn't been soft, and he had been able to control his strength, she would have definitely miscarried!
Yi Yun Muchen felt her face burning; her acupoints were sealed, and she couldn't move an inch! The pain on her face told her that it was definitely swollen!
That damned man, that easily angered and violent man, who doesn't know how to cherish women or love his own sister, he will definitely get what he deserves!
"Enough!" Yi Yun Shangcheng's anger had not yet subsided. He looked at Yi Yun Muchen, went forward to help her up, and felt a pang of guilt when he saw her half-swollen face. He helped her sit against the headboard and said, "I will apply medicine for you."
"I don't need your fake kindness!" Yi Yun Muchen said coldly. "You just hit me! You don't love me anymore, you're not my brother! My brother used to love me the most. He would stand up for me if I was even slightly unhappy! Haha, and now, now he actually hit me for a few words, beat me, beat me so badly, beat me so badly... Haha, haha!" Yi Yun Muchen became more and more heartbroken as she spoke, and she choked up and couldn't speak anymore. Tears streamed down her face.
Yiyun Shangcheng was extremely surprised and somewhat at a loss. Yes, she used to dote on her younger sister the most, but as time went by, everything had changed, becoming something she couldn't adapt to, something that made her stop taking advantage of her dearest sister!
When another kind of love takes over one's heart, everything begins to change! Yi Yun Shangcheng's eyes darkened at this moment, "I hit you because you were disobedient, and it's not up to me!" His eyes were cold, as if the emotions just now were nothing but fleeting clouds!
