Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 194 The life-saving charm turns into a death warrant!

Within the nine palaces of the Moon Chasing Dynasty…

Emperor Hua Xuanzong sat on the dragon throne, feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the flying vessel high above, and murmured:
"As expected, you guys still came!"

Ever since the destruction of the Golden Buddha Temple, Hua Xuancong had anticipated that other top-tier sects would eventually come to take over its territory.

Therefore, he started looking for a new owner as soon as possible in order to protect himself!

After all, if he makes the choice early, it's his choice of master; if he makes it late, it's the master's choice of him!

……

At this moment, Zuo Hanquan arrived. As the one who led the way for surrender, he needed to go first.

"Your subject, Zuo Hanquan, greets Your Majesty!"

Although Zuo Hanquan had already surrendered, he still bowed to Hua Xuanzong, as this might be the last time he would bow to him.

After gesturing for Zuo Hanquan to dispense with the formalities, Hua Xuancong smiled and said:
"Prime Minister, it seems your Zuo family intends to replace my royal family!"

The moment Zuo Jia led his officials to surrender, Hua Xuancong already understood their true intentions.

With the piercing gaze of an eagle and the menacing look of a wolf, he's truly impossible to tame!
"Your Majesty, I am only trying to save my own life!"

Zuo Hanquan admitted it, but he felt that it was a helpless move.

After all, if the royal family is not replaced, the Zuo family will perish along with the royal family.

"Prime Minister, do you think I have no means to protect myself?"
Although the Golden Buddha Temple has been destroyed, my royal family now has a new patron, and the Zhu Yue Dynasty can still protect itself!

Hua Xuancong was able to sit comfortably on the dragon throne because he had found a powerful backer and a new master!

"If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty has chosen to submit to the Xuantian Sect and become its vassal!"

Zuo Hanquan remembered that among Hua Xuanzong's many sons, there was one who cultivated in the Xuantian Sect and seemed to be a true disciple, second only to the personal disciple!

Xuantian Sect is a top-tier righteous sect. The fact that the Zhuyue Dynasty submitted to them would be of the greatest benefit to the royal family. Therefore, he had long guessed Hua Xuancong's trump card!
Hua Xuanzong nodded in agreement. He contacted the Xuantian Sect through the communication jade talisman with his son and expressed his allegiance.

The Xuantian Sect accepted the offer and agreed to upgrade his son from a true disciple to a personal disciple.

According to the unspoken rules of the Eastern Region, the Zhuyue Dynasty has now submitted to the Xuantian Sect.

Under normal circumstances, other top sects would let the Zhuyue Dynasty off the hook, thus giving the Xuantian Sect some face.

"Left Prime Minister, do you regret it now?"

Hua Xuancong has made up his mind. After this, he will settle accounts with the Zuo family. Zuo Hanquan's daughter is exceptionally beautiful, so he might as well take her as a concubine and spare her life!
"Your Majesty, do you know which sect has come?"

Zuo Hanquan had been suppressing his laughter, because Hua Xuanzong's trump card was actually a death warrant!

If it were any other sect, Hua Xuanzong's trump card might actually be useful, but it was the Hehuan Sect that came!

"It must be a top-tier demonic sect, right?"

Hua Xuanzong felt that even if a top-tier demonic sect came, it wouldn't matter, as long as the royal family was willing to pay a price, the other party would let the royal family off the hook!
"That's right!"

Zuo Hanquan nodded in acknowledgment, then said coldly:

"Your Majesty, it is the Hehuan Sect that has arrived!"

"What? It's actually the Joyful Union Sect!"

Hua Xuanzong felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing that it was the Hehuan Sect.

The Hehuan Sect and the Xuantian Sect are mortal enemies. Why did the Hehuan Sect have to come when there are so many top sects? It's a sign of the Heavenly Destruction of the Zhuyue Royal Family!
"Your Moon Chasing Dynasty royal family has quite the airs!"

With a shout, the Hehuan Sect members arrived at the Nine-Room Court Hall.

After regaining his senses, Hua Xuancong quickly bowed and said:

"Hua Xuanzong of the Royal Family greets the esteemed leader of the Hehuan Sect. I am late in welcoming you, and I beg your punishment, senior!"

As soon as Hua Xuancong finished speaking, Zuo Hanquan hurriedly bowed and said:
"My lord, Zuo Hanquan has something to report: the royal family intends to submit to the Xuantian Sect!"

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Zuo Hanquan didn't want to be the chicken used to scare the monkey; he wanted to be the monkey. So the only way was for the royal family to become the chicken!
Upon hearing Zuo Hanquan's words, Hua Xuancong was so frightened that his hair stood on end.

Who could have imagined that what was once a life-saving charm would now become a death warrant! "Zuo Hanquan, you traitorous scoundrel, you actually slandered me in your attempt to seize power, you deserve to die!"

Hua Xuancong, now desperate to save his own life, no longer cared about anything else and directly distorted the truth.

"My lord, Hua Xuanzong has a son who is a true disciple of the Xuantian Sect!"

Zuo Hanquan had anticipated all of this, and thus had made preparations in advance.

"If a true disciple takes another step forward, he/she will become a personal disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Meng's eyes were filled with amusement.

He had served in the Xuantian Sect in his previous life, so he knew all too well what a true disciple was.

Honestly, the status of a true disciple is a bit awkward. They have good aptitude but haven't been formally accepted into the sect's tutelage. Instead, they are all assigned by the sect to be trained in one place.

Some of the more talented disciples are later selected by the peak master to become his personal disciples.

True disciples with poor aptitude are basically done at the Nascent Soul stage and can only manage to get a position as an elder within the sect!

Hua Xuanzong could feel the killing intent enveloping him. For a moment, he abandoned his imperial dignity and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, saying:

"Our royal family is willing to submit to the Hehuan Sect and serve them like slaves. We beg the esteemed leaders of the Hehuan Sect to grant our royal family a way out!"

What imperial majesty?
At this point, to maintain imperial dignity, one had to die, and one's entire clan had to be exterminated!

His surname is Hua, not Fang, so he can't afford to play the Ten Clans Match-3 game!

You must know that with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he still has several hundred years of lifespan left. He can still enjoy the pleasures of being an emperor for several hundred more years. He doesn't want to die, and he certainly doesn't want his clan to be wiped out!
"Cao Meng, this is the place you've set your sights on. You tell me what to do, and I'll do it."

Xu Ru directly delegated power to Cao Meng, since it didn't matter to a second-rate dynasty.

"Shishi, it's been so long since you've had a meal?"

Cao Meng turned his gaze to Shi Shi. He remembered that Shi Shi had been hungry ever since, and it was time to feed her.

"Ok!"

Shishi nodded quickly. Since she returned to the Hehuan Sect with Cao Meng, she had not consumed any blood food.

"Let's eat!"

As soon as Cao Meng finished speaking, Shishi was overjoyed.

With a wave of her hand, Shishi shattered Hua Xuanzong into a bloody mist, which she then inhaled.

After Shishi devoured Hua Xuancong, she enveloped the entire palace with corpse energy and spiritual power, sealing off the entire palace!

The Shen family of the Imperial Observatory...

Zuo Yuerong led a group of cultivators from the Zuo family to the entrance of the Shen family. She had come here to handle a matter.

Shen Huaxing looked at Zuo Yuerong and the Zuo family members and asked:

"Miss Zuo, what brings you to my Shen family now?"

In the past, Shen Huaxing wouldn't have needed to worry, since the royal family kept the Zuo family in check, and the Zuo family didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

But now things are not right. The Zuo family led a group of officials to welcome the flying boat, which means they have the intention of rebelling and replacing the royal family. Nobody knows what the Zuo family's attitude is towards the Shen family!

"Grand Historian Shen, you certainly know how to protect yourself!"

Zuo Yuerong sneered. She felt that Shen Huaxing was not so much trying to protect himself as he was waiting for his fate, a fence-sitter.

“Miss Zuo, the Shen family has no interest in fighting for those things; we only want to protect ourselves. Whether the Zhu Yue Dynasty is surnamed Hua or Zuo is none of my business!”

Shen Huaxing felt it didn't matter who became the emperor of the Zhuyue Dynasty. All the Shen family needed to do was to stay put, guard their small plot of land, and wait for the phoenix girl of the Shen family to grow up and lead the Shen family to soar to the sky.

"Grand Historian Shen, I'm here to see that idiot brother of mine!"

Zuo Yuerong was too lazy to waste words with Shen Huaxing and directly stated her purpose.
