Chapter 703: Each Harboring Their Own Schemes

Yin Yang Family.

Zhao Gao personally brought Ying Zheng's Imperial Edict to see Donghuang Taiyi.

"Lord Donghuang, His Majesty's Imperial Decree has arrived!"

Looking at Donghuang Taiyi before him, his entire body wrapped in a black robe, Zhao Gao said respectfully.

Although Zhao Gao, as a trusted confidant of the First Emperor of Great Qin, had also reached the cultivation of Martial Emperor First Heaven,

when facing Donghuang Taiyi, he could not help but feel a trace of fear rising within his heart.

Donghuang Taiyi, as the supreme ruler of the Yin Yang Family, possessed incomparably powerful cultivation. As early as A Hundred Years ago, his cultivation had already reached Martial Emperor Six Heavens.

And after so many years had passed, no one knew whether he had broken through that layer of restriction.

And the most important point was that, up to now, no one still knew Donghuang Taiyi's true identity.

And in the Grand Hall, the Yin Yang Family's East Lord Yan Fei, Grand Minister of Death, Lesser Minister of Death, and other high-ranking members were all present.

"Zhao Gao! Just read out the First Emperor's Imperial Edict directly!"

Regarding Ying Zheng's Imperial Edict, Donghuang Taiyi showed not the slightest intention of receiving it. Instead, his gaze was sharp as he stared at Zhao Gao and said coldly.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao was no longer surprised. He directly took out Ying Zheng's Imperial Decree and began to read it aloud.

"The First Emperor of Great Qin decrees: Now the Han Empire has invaded the borders of Great Qin. The Yin Yang Family, as our Great Qin's ally, should resist the invading enemy. We hereby specially order Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin Yang Family to lead the disciples of the Yin Yang Family, together with our Great Qin Empire, to resist the Han Dynasty. Respect this!"

After Zhao Gao finished reading Ying Zheng's Imperial Decree, he handed it over to Donghuang Taiyi.

After Donghuang Taiyi took the Imperial Decree, he casually tossed it to the Grand Minister of Death, then turned his head to stare at Zhao Gao and asked:

"If Ying Zheng wants This Seat to act, has he agreed to This Seat's conditions?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao immediately responded respectfully to Donghuang Taiyi:

"Lord Donghuang, His Majesty has already agreed. As long as Lord Donghuang can help our Great Qin repel the Han Empire, His Majesty will naturally honor the Yin Yang Family as the state religion of our Great Qin Empire!"

Hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi finally nodded and said to Zhao Gao:

"Good! This Seat accepts this matter. Go back and tell Ying Zheng that in Three Days, This Seat will lead the disciples of the Yin Yang Family to Xianyang to resist the Han Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully to Donghuang Taiyi:

"If that is the case, then I shall take my leave!"

After Zhao Gao departed, the other members of the Yin Yang Family all turned their gazes toward Donghuang Taiyi. The Grand Minister of Death asked in confusion:

"Lord Donghuang, have you truly agreed to Ying Zheng's request to act personally?"

Hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi nodded and said to them:

"That's right. Gao Yue has already been taken to the Han Empire by Xun Zi and the others!"

"And Gao Yue possesses the Azure Dragon bloodline, which is the key to opening the Azure Dragon Seven Stars. Therefore, Gao Yue is of utmost importance and must be kept under our control!"

"Moreover, as long as our Yin Yang Family successfully becomes the state religion of Great Qin, we will be able to receive the aid of Great Qin's destiny!"

"With the aid of Great Qin's destiny, This Seat's chances of obtaining the secret of the Azure Dragon Seven Stars will be even greater!"

"This Seat has been planning this for so long. With the descent of Yinghuo Shouxing imminent, the treasure of the Azure Dragon Seven Stars can finally be opened. No one can stop This Seat's grand plan!"

Hearing this, the Grand Minister of Death and the others also nodded, then asked:

"Lord Donghuang, does that Han Dynasty truly possess such powerful strength that even Ying Zheng has been forced to seek our Yin Yang Family's aid?"

Upon hearing the mention of the Han Dynasty, Donghuang Taiyi also fell silent for a while before saying slowly:

"This Han Dynasty, This Seat cannot divine. To be honest, regarding this assistance to Great Qin, This Seat does not have absolute confidence either!"

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, everyone was greatly shocked. They had followed Donghuang Taiyi for so many years, yet this was the first time they had heard such words from his mouth.

"Lord Donghuang, is this Han Dynasty truly that powerful? Then why have we never heard of them before?"

At this moment, East Lord Yan Fei also became somewhat curious about this Han Empire.

"A variable! As early as one month ago, This Seat discovered that the heavenly secrets were obscure and the Emperor Star had shifted!"

"And it was precisely at that time that news of the Han Empire suddenly spread. Subsequently, This Seat intended to divine the Han Empire."

"However, This Seat had only just begun the divination when the backlash of the heavenly secrets struck. Had This Seat not immediately stopped the divination, it might have cost This Seat his life!"

Hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, everyone was once again shocked. Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Donghuang Taiyi said no more.

He feared that saying too much would shatter their Dao hearts, thereby instilling fear toward the Han Dynasty, which would be counterproductive.

"You need not overthink it. Go down and prepare. In Three Days, all members of our Yin Yang Family will head to Xianyang city!"

Hearing this, everyone's expression sharpened, and they responded respectfully to Donghuang Taiyi:

"Yes!"

Then, the members departed the Grand Hall one after another, leaving only Donghuang Taiyi standing alone in the vast Grand Hall.

"Han Dynasty! No one can stop This Seat's grand plan of transcendence!"

……

Meanwhile, Great Qin's Right Prime Minister Feng Quji also arrived alone at the Guigu School to meet Guiguzi.

"Master Guigu, I am Feng Quji, Right Prime Minister of Great Qin. I represent His Majesty the First Emperor of Great Qin, and have come to invite Master Guigu to emerge from seclusion and aid our Great Qin in jointly resisting the Han Empire!"

Even for Guiguzi, Feng Quji, as the Right Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire, kept his posture very low and said respectfully to Guiguzi.

Hearing this, Guiguzi, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and flashes of light flickered within them.

"Has your First Emperor of Great Qin agreed to This Seat's conditions for emerging from seclusion?"

Hearing Guiguzi's words, Feng Quji immediately responded respectfully:

"His Majesty the First Emperor of Great Qin has said that as long as Master Guigu can help our Great Qin repel the Han Empire, His Majesty will naturally agree to the conditions you mentioned!"

Although Feng Quji did not know what conditions Guiguzi had mentioned, before his departure, Ying Zheng had already told him.

As long as Guiguzi agreed to emerge from seclusion, Ying Zheng would naturally agree to his conditions.

Hearing Feng Quji's response, Guiguzi nodded in satisfaction, and his voice once again sounded beside Feng Quji's ear.

"If that is so, go back and tell the First Emperor that in Three Days This Seat will personally head to Xianyang. When the time comes, This Seat will naturally act against the Han Empire!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Quji finally nodded in satisfaction and said to him deferentially:

"In that case, I shall return and report. Farewell, Master Guigu!"

Watching Feng Quji depart, a flash of harshness crossed Guiguzi's face, and he said in a dark voice:

"I never expected that this Han Empire's attack would actually give This Seat an opportunity!"

"Didn't you, Ying Zheng, refuse This Seat before? In the end, didn't you still have to seek This Seat's help!"

"If it weren't for the fact that This Seat needs to transcend, and your Great Qin still has some use, This Seat wouldn't bother with whether your Great Qin lives or dies!"
