Choice\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qian’an Emperor is dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor is dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone has assassinated the Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar from the old Ritual Officer, the news of the Qian’an Emperor’s death spread instantly throughout the entire Wanyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those noble families in Wanyi who were waiting for news from the Qian’an Emperor were thrown into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some family heads of the nobility almost fainted upon hearing the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the authenticity of this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one doubted it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eighth Tier battle over the Imperial Palace had already proven everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the old Ritual Officer charging madly towards him, Tianyang Star Lord was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first reaction was that this was a trap, and he had been set up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reputation of assassinating the Qian’an Emperor was not something easy to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would trigger a series of chain reactions and result in becoming deadly enemies with Dachen, with no possibility of reconciliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this news were to be sent back home, it might even incite the Dahong Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Causing the Dahong Emperor to become restless again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing a monarch is a red line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If crossed, Tianyang Star Lord wasn’t afraid of Cheng Yuxiao coming after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main issue was that the blame was too heavy, and if he bore it, it would affect the stability of the entire Dahong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would cause the Dahong Emperor’s sense of security to plummet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His second reaction was, who set up this trap for him, the Tianyang Star Lord?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yuxiao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be Cangming Star Lord?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cangming Star Lord doesn’t have the capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Tianyang Star Lord’s mind, incredibly chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Tianyang Star Lord grasped a key point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blame must not be taken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he bears it, it cannot be washed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he must muddy the waters immediately to have any chance of shaking off this enormous blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not really to wash it off, but to have a plausible explanation in the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, for the killing of the Dachen Emperor, Tianyang Star Lord would be unable to plead his case!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after just obtaining the National Treasure Seal, Tianyang Star Lord was so angry that he wanted to curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been completely tricked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The National Treasure Seal, this treasure, had lost all its Starlight and was covered with fine cracks, mostly ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking this in hand, there was not much use for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the refining conditions were extremely harsh, requiring the assistance of the Dachen Imperial Family’s bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key issue was that it was mostly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it, it would take at least ten years to restore, and he would need to invest a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for repairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he wasted a precious directional Transferring Emblem, rushed to the Dachen Imperial Palace, and seized a mostly ruined National Treasure Seal, and in the process, earned a huge blame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding this, Tianyang Star Lord was so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tianyang Star Lord, being seasoned with great storms, quickly came up with a counterplan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Ritual Officer, I was just coming to check!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the Blood God Sect’s evil people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I arrived, His Majesty had already been stabbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassin was a Blood God Sect evil person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, the corpse is still over there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianyang Star Lord explained while dealing with the old Ritual Officer’s storm-like assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tianyang, you think I’d believe such nonsense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is the corpse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where’s the Blood God Sect evil person’s corpse!” the old Ritual Officer roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianyang Star Lord abruptly turned to look at where the Blood God Sect evil person lay dead earlier and was immediately dumbfounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where is the corpse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than a pool of blood, there’s nothing else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, three words emerged in Tianyang Star Lord’s mind: Blood Puppet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood God Sect’s unique life-saving secret technique, the Blood Puppet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he found it strange earlier; it was because of the Blood Puppet secret skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to inspect it, but was blocked by the arriving old Ritual Officer, otherwise, the thief would not have escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Puppet secret technique, he had seen it before, generally only transferring around a kilometer or so nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this case…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Ritual Officer, be rational, it really was a Blood God Sect evil person who attempted the assassination! Think about it, I was collaborating with His Majesty, there was no time for that, why would I assassinate His Majesty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassinating His Majesty benefits me not at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I assassinate His Majesty, wouldn’t that make Cheng Yuxiao happy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a misunderstanding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s truly a colossal misunderstanding,” Tianyang Star Lord explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Ritual Officer, who was like a mad tiger, was slightly stunned, recalling back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, although this National Treasure Seal has been mostly destroyed, it still retains Thunder Series power on it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it is an extremely strong Thunder Series power\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, I’ve studied all five series of power, but the Thunder Series, I truly do not know!” Tianyang Star Lord explained once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he explained, he tossed the nearly destroyed National Treasure Seal to the old Ritual Officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the National Treasure Seal in hand, the old Ritual Officer’s expression changed suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its surface was indeed an extremely concentrated Thunder Series Star Power, rigid and overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, when he had just arrived, the furiously angry old Ritual Officer had already determined that Tianyang Star Lord was the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting nothing more than to take out Tianyang Star Lord immediately and avenge His Majesty’s blood feud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with Tianyang Star Lord’s explanation, and with the National Treasure Seal in hand, the old Ritual Officer gradually calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, Tianyang Star Lord could infiltrate the Dachen Imperial Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But theoretically only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was only theoretical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With National Master Cheng Yuxiao presiding in Wanyi, Tianyang Star Lord infiltrating Wanyi’s Imperial City was virtually impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a motive perspective, Tianyang Star Lord really had no reason to kill His Majesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not one reason can be found!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on His Majesty’s conduct, His Majesty being alive was most beneficial to Tianyang Star Lord!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, the power attribute cannot deceive anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying Thunder Series power remaining on the National Treasure Seal is the most authentic.\u003C\u002Fp>",1069,"2026-06-03T07:36:12.465Z",1,"novelbin.me","03527818c2fa7d1ca61dd894cd7bea5fa8f4a04f33f42e36f7927b756831f5fd","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-901","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-999",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
