Chapter 671: The Death of Yu Lanzi, One of the Heavenly Heart Sect's Seven Sons

Outside the Great Qi Dynasty.

Outside the Wangdu.

Yu Lanzi, one of the Heavenly Heart Sect's Seven Sons, was intercepted and could not leave.

There were about thirty Black Dragon Guard in front of us, each not lacking in strength, led by Jing Yuheng.

On the ground lay the corpses of Heavenly Heart Sect disciples, a dozen or so; only Yu Lanzi remained, struggling to stay upright, drenched in blood, yet refusing to fall.

Yu Lanzi stared at Jing Yuheng, looked around, surrounded, unable to leave; he might never return.

"Cough cough, Jing Yuheng, you dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid of Heavenly Heart Sect's retaliation?"

This cooperation turned out to be a misstep.

The Great Qi Dynasty came directly to hunt them down, not allowing them to return alive.

Jing Yuheng mobilized, and it was clear that Qi Ruohua truly intended to confront the Heavenly Heart Sect to the end, which made Yu Lanzi furious.

"The Heavenly Heart Sect and the Great Qi Dynasty have always had a good relationship, sharing a common enemy. Do you Great Qi Dynasty really intend to oppose our Heavenly Heart Sect?"

"If I die here, the Heavenly Heart Sect will not spare you, Jing Yuheng."

He was warning the woman before him, and likewise warning Qi Ruohua in the palace; the Great Qi Dynasty is strong, but far inferior to the Heavenly Heart Sect.

When the Heavenly Heart Sect becomes angry, it is a calamity for the Great Qi Dynasty; even if Qi Ruohua kneels, it cannot save the dynasty.

"Yu Lanzi, the times have changed."

Jing Yuheng pointed at Yu Lanzi, coldly saying, "Your Heavenly Heart Sect has committed countless evils, offending many. The Great Qi Dynasty will not side with you, and you are destined to die here."

"Do not make futile resistance; it is useless."

Yu Lanzi heard this and realized the woman was determined to kill him.

The Great Qi Dynasty is set on opposing the Heavenly Heart Sect; Qi Ruohua, that woman, is tougher and harder to handle than the previous Qihuang.

Chen Chuyang's existence, along with his pills, gave Qi Ruohua ample confidence.

Having cultivated a group of Strong Ones loyal to her, Qi Ruohua feels fearless.

The great families in Wangdu have been put in line and dare not act rashly.

Disobedient families are exterminated outright.

Qi Ruohua's ruthless cruelty ranks first among the many Qihuangs.

Jing Yuheng advanced, brandishing a Thunder Long Spear, lightning flashing.

"Yu Lanzi, if I were you, I would certainly surrender."

"Your Majesty admires your talent; if you bow your head and become a member of the Great Qi Dynasty, Your Majesty promises to cultivate you vigorously, making you a Golden Core Strong One of the dynasty, and even if you wish to advance further, Your Majesty will support you."

"Yu Lanzi, you are a clever person and know what to choose."

Yu Lanzi scoffed at the words, "Jing Yuheng, you think I would defect to you? You're dreaming."

"Cough cough, I am Yu Lanzi, one of the Seven Sons of the Heavenly Heart Sect, a future candidate for sect head, how could I submit to you?"

"I'd rather die than betray the Heavenly Heart Sect; you can kill that resolve of yours."

Jing Yuheng shook his head, "You seem foolish; in that case, go die."

The spear, lightning erupted.

Yu Lanzi swiftly dodged; behind him, several Black Dragon Guard silhouettes appeared, their blades piercing Yu Lanzi's back.

The blade withdrew, and Jing Yuheng, spear in hand, rushed forward to attack.

"Thunder Dragon."

Lightning transformed into a dragon and devoured Yu Lanzi.

His body turned to ash and drifted away with the wind.

Jing Yuheng coldly looked at the sky, disdainfully saying, "Even a mere Heavenly Heart Sect's Seven Son dares to look down on me, humph."

"Clean up the battlefield."

"Yes."

The Black Dragon Guard behind them began to clear the battlefield, destroying it.

Afterward, Jing Yuheng led them back to report.

Inside the Dadian of the palace.

Jing Yuheng reported this operation; Qi Ruohua nodded in satisfaction, "Well done. The Heavenly Heart Sect is truly arrogant; they still think they are the Heavenly Heart Sect of decades ago, trying to control our Great Qi Dynasty."

"They think they can make the Qi family serve them? They've got it wrong."

"The Qi family dynasty is decided by me, Qi Ruohua; when will the Heavenly Heart Sect get to dictate?"

"Your Majesty says the Heavenly Heart Sect has become too complacent, thinking we are the former Great Qi Dynasty," Jing Yuheng flattered.

The Great Qi Dynasty has changed; the former Great Qi Dynasty fell apart.

Those families and aristocratic clans, controlling most of the Great Qi Dynasty's power, can threaten the throne at any time.

The Qi family's position is precarious.

After Qi Ruohua ascended the stage, she began purging those families.

Anyone who opposes them, sorry, will be killed.

With the Black Dragon Guard in hand, no family could match them.

By purging those families and consolidating a batch of families, the Great Qi Dynasty becomes hers.

The disobedient are all eliminated; the remaining people and families are very obedient.

This also led to a high concentration of resources in the Great Qi Dynasty; the pills Qi Ruohua obtained increased, allowing her to cultivate more people.

The Black Dragon Guard, even the army, are all under Qi Ruohua's control.

She can be called the true Qihuang; compared to her father, she is countless times more forceful.

The Heavenly Heart Sect is the greatest threat; only by annihilating it can she truly control the Great Qi Dynasty.

Within the dynasty, there are still some families that bow and submit to the Heavenly Heart Sect; when the time comes, Qi Ruohua will uproot them completely.

"The Heavenly Heart Sect will soon learn the news; should we act in advance?"

"Don't rush, take it slow, lure out the Heavenly Heart Sect's strong ones and defeat them one by one." Qi Ruohua waved her hand.

"The Heavenly Heart Sect itself is hard-pressed; the Spirit Sword Sect is already eyeing them, the Monster Race is the same, and the Yin Gui Sect hates the Heavenly Heart Sect to the core—once they find an opportunity, they will strike ruthlessly."

"In this world, who doesn't want to overthrow the Heavenly Heart Sect?"

"Have you communicated with Chen Chuyang's side? What did he say?"

Jing Yuheng gave a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, there has been no response from Chen Chuyang's side."

"However, I suspect he also wants to overthrow the Heavenly Heart Sect; Chen Chuyang needs spirit veins."

And the spirit veins are inside the Heavenly Heart Sect.

The Spirit Sword Sect cannot be moved, and the Yin Gui Sect's side lacks the spirit veins he wants.

The Monster Race's side is too far; it's not convenient to act.

Their dynasty's spirit veins are different; Chen Chuyang cannot move them either.

The only thing that can be moved is the spirit veins of the Heavenly Heart Sect.

"Zhuge Ruolan is searching near the capital; I don't know what she's looking for." Jing Yuheng recalled something and reported it to Qi Ruohua.

Upon hearing this, Qi Ruohua waved her hand: "The Heavenly Heart Sect's spirit veins are extremely precious; we cannot take them, other sects cannot act either, so we can only give them to Chen Chuyang."

"As for Zhuge Ruolan's side, you needn't worry or pay attention to her; this woman poses no threat to us."

"However, you should still keep an eye on her."

Jing Yuheng clasped his hands: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Stay in touch with Chen Chuyang's side."

"Yes."

"You may go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Inside the hall, only Qi Ruohua remained.

"Zhuge Ruolan, are you looking for the Qihuang Treasure Vault?"

The Qihuang Treasure Vault is not the Qi Family Treasure Vault; they are different.

Within the capital, besides the Qi Family Treasure Vault, there is also the Qihuang Treasure Vault—that is the true treasure vault of the Qi family; unfortunately, it exists only in legend.
