The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 186 Destiny

【The King of Hell's Decree (Proactive)】

[Note: If Yama, the King of Hell, decrees your death at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn? This skill applies a "Yama's Decree" to a targeted individual. During its duration, the instant-death rate of that individual upon being attacked continuously increases. Simultaneously, it opens a passage to the Netherworld, teleporting you to the bottom of the underworld and summoning vengeful ghosts to relentlessly pursue and attack the targeted individual until one of them dies.]

Gu Fangchen had to save her skills to deal with the relentless pursuit of the Ancestral Master, so that she could teleport.

—This skill, if used solely for killing, is far inferior to the Emperor's Life and Death Power, the Assassin's One-Hit Kill, and even the Merchant's Thousand-Piece Spending. However, it is extremely convenient for escaping.

If this skill is used to kill, the consequences will be too great for most people.

The Nine Netherworlds are not a good place; anyone with even a slightly lower cultivation level will face certain death.

Even with Gu Fangchen having mastered the strategy, she could barely survive the last time she went to the Nine Netherworlds with her sixth-grade cultivation.

However, if you reverse your thinking and treat this skill as an escape skill, and killing as a side benefit, then it becomes an absolutely divine skill.

The ability to teleport over extremely long distances with virtually no cost is unsolvable unless the other side has the ability to break through the boundary between the two realms.

Thinking about the Nine Netherworlds again at this point, it didn't seem particularly dangerous anymore.

After all, the only time this skill is used to escape is when you're in a life-threatening situation where you're about to die.

As long as you can survive in the Nine Netherworlds and wait for an opportunity to come back, it's much safer than staying in the same place.

Unfortunately, Gu Fangchen encountered a super-powerful being like the Ancestral Master, a bug-level being.

Even the best escape skills have to admit defeat...

But now, at least someone is bearing the burden for him!
The moment Gu Fangchen activated her skill, she left a teleportation anchor point in her original spot, then merged her divine sense with her physical body and disappeared from the spot.

……

at the same time.

With the emergence of the dragon vein that stretches across the entire Jiangnan region, the rebel army, which was fighting against Gu Yuye's Xuanhuang Army, was defeated and fled.

Gu Yuye, who came to suppress the uprising, won a resounding victory. Several rebel armies that had gathered together to launch a general offensive suffered heavy casualties and fled in panic.

Of course, all of this was arranged in advance by the evil cult.

The special effects and atmosphere were all top-notch. Gu Yuye was standing right on the dragon vein, enveloped in golden light and covered in golden scales. Anyone who came would have to exclaim, "What a destiny!"
Upon seeing this, the other rebel groups present immediately dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground in submission.

One of the lieutenants immediately knelt down, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and excitedly shouted:
"Where the dragon vein points, there lies a wise ruler. The world is now in chaos, and the people are filled with resentment. Your Highness is destined to rule!"

The Xuanhuang Army even shouted directly:
"It is the will of Heaven!"

"It is the will of Heaven!"

Although the scene was exaggerated, it was definitely effective.

Within fifteen minutes, the Dugu family would spread the news throughout Jiangnan, and then to the entire Great Wei.

Gu Yuye stood with his hands behind his back, next to him was Zhuang Pengju, the bandit he had just beheaded. Zhuang Pengju was famous for controlling three provinces in Jiangnan and had joined forces with other rebel armies.

In fact, Zhuang Pengju was not originally slated to make such a grand show of force.

Among his followers were not only rebels, but also cultivators from several immortal sects, whose strength should not be underestimated.

Gu Yuye doesn't have many troops in Jiangnan Road, and it wasn't something that could be done overnight by transferring people from Shuobei.

Moreover, he dared not disperse too many troops here, lest he be caught between a rock and a hard place.

Therefore, this battle was not easy.

Seeing that the results were as planned, Gu Yuye breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the ominous premonition that had been lingering in his mind finally disappeared.

His plans had been repeatedly thwarted by Gu Fangchen, which left him with a lingering sense of unease.

They were afraid that Gu Fangchen would reappear at this crucial moment.

"Fortunately... this little beast should already be suppressed under the Wenwu Tower by several great scholars of the academy, and he will soon only have one way out: death."

Gu Yuye gazed into the distance. Although he couldn't see the Jiangling River from here, with the "Heart Saint" making a move, there seemed to be no suspense.

He couldn't directly attack Gu Fangchen before because of Emperor Yong'an and the Imperial Preceptor, but now that the emperor is far away, even if the academy doesn't intervene, he will still kill this little beast.

Now, it's actually the academy that's benefited.

He still felt a pang of regret that he couldn't kill Gu Fangchen with his own hands. But as long as Gu Fangchen could die, his obsession wouldn't matter.

However, his relationship with the academy is only a cooperative one for now. After today, once he utters the words that he is blessed with the dragon vein and destined by heaven, some Confucian practitioners will become his enemies.

As for the other part, Emperor Yong'an spent many years balancing power and did not refrain from taking drastic measures against Confucianism.

Gu Yuye had already secretly united with these people long ago. With military power in hand, his prestige would reach a certain level after today, and he would have no fear of the academy.

"Get up quickly! What am I supposed to do with you all like this?"

Gu Yuye sighed and began the performance, reaching out to help the deputy general up, but the roaring sounds from all around still hadn't stopped.

He feigned an order for them to be quiet, and bathed in the golden glow of the sunset, said in a deep voice:
"This was not my wish..."

Gu Yuye was about to say some nice words and then acknowledge his status as the chosen and enlightened ruler.

But the next moment, he realized that he might have been too happy.

His expression changed as he sensed that his other clone was suddenly in danger!

The clone was previously near Huangtian City. After Gu Fangchen left, he activated the one he had in Gushu, which is the one he is using now.

The one from Huangtian City remained in place to stand by, in case the Ziji Palace made any unusual moves.

However, suddenly, a Netherworld Rift appeared around that clone, from which countless evil spirits and vengeful ghosts emerged and frantically attacked his clone.

Gu Yuye's clones all possessed the strength of the third rank, but as a martial artist, he didn't have many methods to deal with these evil spirits, making things much more complicated.

Gu Yuye's eyes immediately turned very gloomy.

At this critical juncture, he knew without a doubt that Gu Fangchen was responsible for the incident!
Although evil spirits were only somewhat troublesome for him, the key point was that Gu Fangchen actually knew where his clone was!

Gu Yuye's change in expression was immediately noticed by the deputy general in front of him, who was taken aback:
"Your Majesty..."

Gu Yuye's face twitched. He sensed that the evil spirits seemed endless, and as their numbers increased, he felt an extremely dangerous premonition, and even felt a little palpitation!
Out of caution, he immediately ordered his clone to avoid contact with the evil spirits as much as possible and to prioritize escape, while simultaneously notifying his trusted subordinates to come to his aid.

It would be safest for Gu Yuye to go back and defend himself.

But now, he was in a difficult situation.

Gu Yuye took a deep breath, looked at the army in front of him, waved to his deputy, forced himself to remain calm, and continued his performance.

But for some reason, that ominous premonition returned and grew stronger.

He looked at the golden glow filling the sky and felt a little more at ease.

As long as the dragon vein is in his hands, he is destined by heaven, and no matter who comes, it will be of no use!

……

Once raw, twice cooked.

Gu Fangchen entered the Nine Netherworld instance a second time with much more ease than the first.

The main reason is that he has already advanced to the fifth-grade Danxin realm, and his body has its own internal circulation, so the influence of the external environment on him is almost negligible, unless his spiritual energy is exhausted.

Now, he also has a professional buff, which makes his spiritual energy recovery faster, so there is no need to worry too much.

Well... at least I can keep my clothes on and don't have to worry about running around naked again.

However, this time he didn't come at night; the moment he fell, the evil spirits discovered him immediately...

"Humanity?!"

"Flesh and blood...flesh and blood...delicious!"

A whole bunch of evil spirits and vengeful ghosts rushed over together.

Gu Fangchen was prepared. She brandished the "Chaos Wheel of Karma" on her body, looked at the leading evil spirit, stood with her hands behind her back, and calmly rebuked it:
"How dare you! Have you forgotten your agreement with Lord Jie?"

"I have come here on the orders of the Lord of Calamity, so take me to see the Lord of the Central Netherworld!"

The evil spirit chuckled and opened its blood-red maw, preparing to attack Gu Fangchen, but upon hearing this, it froze and quickly came to a screeching halt.
