Chapter 105: The Changing of Worldly Affairs

"Empress Dowager Su... has passed away."

"Qi Lin infiltrated the Palace and Slayed Empress Dowager Su!"

Hearing the report from his subordinate, tears could not help but well up in the eyes of the Yan Emperor.

"Died well, hahahaha!"

The Yan Emperor laughed loudly.

He hated Empress Dowager Su, hated that he could not boil her bones, drink her broth, and eat her flesh.

Nearby, the civil and military officials looked at the Yan Emperor's posture with complex expressions.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"The Jubei King has the ambition of a wolf; this is an attempt to usurp the throne!"

The Yan Emperor's tears stopped; he looked at everyone, a smile of relief on his face: "Surrender."

"Your Majesty, our Dayan's foundation of several hundred years cannot end just like this!

We have an army of three hundred thousand; relying on the Wangcheng, it will not be so easy for the Jubei King to break in!"

"With Qi Lin here, what does it matter even if there were three million troops?"

The officials argued.

The Yan Emperor watched this scene, a playful smile on his face.

"Surrender." He repeated it once more.

He had had enough of being this kind of emperor.

"But, Your Majesty..." an official looked at the Yan Emperor.

"In this world, there are surrendering generals and surrendering ministers, but where is there a surrendering emperor?"

The Yan Emperor flicked his sleeves and returned to the Palace.

In the tenth month, Empress Dowager Su of Dayan passed away.

Great General Wu Gui opened the city wall Gate and surrendered, welcoming the Jubei King and the Jubei King Heir into the capital.

Inside the Palace, within the Imperial Garden, upon seeing the Yan Emperor's corpse, he had hung himself from a tree.

A eunuch said that before the Yan Emperor passed away, he had muttered to himself: When an emperor loses his country, he often sets fires to commit suicide, which would burn down many Palaces and waste the people's money and resources. I cannot be considered much of an emperor, so I will just hang myself on a crooked-neck tree.

The Yan Emperor passed away, recorded in history as the Fierce Emperor, and Dayan perished.

Three months later.

Lin'an City.

Chen Fengru looked at Lin Chao, a helpless expression appearing on his face.

"Heir, at a time like this, you ran here.

The Prince has been calling for you to return and ascend to the supreme position."

Now, Dayan has been destroyed, and a new dynasty awaits its rise.

As a result, Lin Chao ran to Lin'an City and stayed for over ten days.

"Xiangyi is about to give birth; naturally, I cannot bear to let her endure the fatigue of travel."

Lin Chao's gaze remained calm throughout.

"Emperor, it can be done at any time.

Could it be that the imperial throne will run away?"

"Sigh." Chen Fengru sighed and said nothing more.

The current Dayan is in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt.

The Jubei Army occupies the capital.

Of the twenty-seven provinces in the world, twenty have already submitted letters of allegiance.

There are seven provinces that have yet to express their stance.

Of course, the place where Lin'an City is located has long since fallen under the rule of the Jubei Army.

At this moment, it is likely within this month that Wu Xiangyi will give birth to an heir.

Naturally, Lin Chao could not bear to let a pregnant woman head to the capital.

Thus, he came to Lin'an City.

Just then, Wei Fangsong walked in, a respectful expression on his face.

"Reporting to the Heir, Wu Xu, the son of the president of the Red Sun Chamber of Commerce in Lin'an City, requests an audience."

In Lin Chao's mind, a young man immediately appeared.

Back when he settled in Lin'an City, that young man Wu Xu was one of his few close friends.

The two often drank together and chatted about affairs of the Jianghu.

"Let him in." A hint of joy appeared on Lin Chao's face.

Not long after, a young man walked in.

The person who arrived was indeed Wu Xu, but at this moment, Wu Xu appeared exceptionally reserved.

Seeing Lin Chao, Wu Xu hurriedly knelt on the ground, a nervous expression on his face: "Greetings... Heir."

Seeing this demeanor of Wu Xu, Lin Chao sighed slightly in his heart.

When status and position undergo a huge change, those friendships from the past will also become unfamiliar.

"Wu Xu, get up." Lin Chao looked at Wu Xu and said easily, "I have been back in Lin'an for several days; why did you only decide to come see me now?"

"I..." Wu Xu was still nervous, his speech even becoming a bit stuttered in front of Lin Chao. He looked at Lin Chao, remembered his father's instructions, gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother Qi Mu, can I ask you for a favor?"

In the past, he would address Lin Chao as Brother Qi Mu.

"Speak." Lin Chao remained calm, though he could not help but feel a bit disappointed inside.

"My younger sister Wendi is just sixteen years old and has always admired the Heir. Could the Heir... could he..."

These words were all taught to Wu Xu by his father.

A blurry figure immediately appeared in Lin Chao's mind.

Wu Xu's younger sister was a quiet and shy girl; whenever Lin Chao went to the Wu Family to play, she would always secretly hide to the side, not daring to say a single word.

At this moment, Wu Xu's meaning could not be more obvious.

There has always been a saying that when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

This time, Lin Chao conquered Dayan, and before he had even ascended the throne, he had gained many women for no reason.

That's right.

The former subordinates of the Wu'an Lord offered their daughters to him.

The officialdom of the Jubei Army also offered their daughters to him.

Even the surrendered civil and military officials of Dayan offered their daughters to him.

Now, his former friend Wu Xu was offering his own younger sister to Lin Chao.

These were all investments, all ways to bind interest relationships more tightly.

Lin Chao let out a long sigh: "Very well."

He understood Wu Xu's meaning.

Wu Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Looking at Wu Xu's expression, Lin Chao thought, if he were not the Heir.

Wu Xu would surely be pointing at him right now saying: From now on, I am your brother.

Of course, he was not the Heir, and Wu Xu's father might not necessarily be willing to marry his daughter to the young master of a small escort agency.

He watched Wu Xu leave.

Lin Chao accompanied Zhao Ran and Xiangyi to the lake to enjoy the snow.

Now that Lin Chao had not returned to Jubei City, Zhao Ran and Xiangyi could not perform a sword dance for Lin Chao on the city walls.

However, in the snow, Zhao Ran did perform a sword dance for Lin Chao.

Her posture was graceful, truly enough to topple cities and states.

Just like that, Lin Chao, accompanied by the two beauties, stayed in Lin'an City for half a month.

One day, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master and the Iron Blood Hall Master arrived at the Ping'an Escort Agency.

"Greetings, Heir."

Seeing Lin Chao, the two of them had respectful expressions in their eyes.

The current Qi Lin was already the most noble person in the world.

It would not be long before Qi Lin would become the new Emperor.

Most importantly, Qi Lin's strength was a well-deserved Martial Arts Myth.

Invincible in the world.

Perhaps only an enemy from the heavens could defeat him.

"Why have you two come to Lin'an?" Lin Chao looked at the two of them.

"His Highness the Heir, the Immortal Tomb has moved to Lin'an City!"

"Oh?" Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

"In the past, the Immortal Tomb would shift its location every three years.

Now, it has only been a little over a year since the last time, yet it has already shifted locations several times; last time it was in Jubei City, and this time it has come to Lin'an City.

The frequent shifting of the Immortal Tomb's location suggests that something unusual may be happening.

Therefore, we thought we should ask the Heir to go now and open the Immortal Tomb to avoid any complications."

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master looked at Lin Chao with an expectant face.

He also had some doubts in his heart.

The locations where the Immortal Tomb shifted all seemed to have some connection to the Heir.

Could it be that Qi Lin is truly the Immortal Reincarnation of that Immortal inside the Immortal Tomb?

"Fine." Lin Chao thought for a moment.

He happened to be in Lin'an City, so he might as well go and take a look.

Half a day later.

The heavy snow was like willow catkins, like goose feathers.

The entire mountain was silver-clad, a vast expanse of white.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, the Iron Blood Hall Master, and Lin Chao appeared on the high mountain.

"The Immortal Tomb is ahead." The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master spoke, his voice trembling, "The entrance to the Immortal Tomb is indestructible; we have used all kinds of methods but could not open it. Now, we can only rely on His Highness the Heir."

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded.

Ahead, there was indeed a stone Gate.

On the stone Gate, there was the trace of a flower.

The flower had nine petals, each one different.

This flower was incredibly profound.

"I ask His Highness the Heir to take action and open the gate of the Immortal Tomb." The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master spoke with a respectful attitude.

"Very well." Lin Chao agreed and took a step forward.

However, he had not yet taken action.

The gate of the Immortal Tomb opened directly at this moment.

Lin Chao was stunned.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master was also stunned.

Could it be that Qi Lin is truly the reincarnation of the Immortal Tomb's master?
