Evil of all ages

Chapter 217 The fun is over
Nie Yang was surprised that the son of the Ghost King knew even such a secret matter.

He never expected that the Ghost King's son's intention was to subdue him and Wan Guiyi.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have already shouted at the other party to be bold, but this was the South City Prison, with the Ghost King watching over it, which made him nervous.

He turned and exchanged a glance with Wan Guiyi, and found that in addition to not daring to make any rash moves, they were also a little at a loss.

None of them expected the son of the Ghost King to have such great ambitions.

It should be noted that one of them was the commander of the Imperial Guards, and the other was the Grand Commander of the Inner Guard. Both were the Empress's confidants and held great power.

If you want to win them over, they won't believe you if you say you have no interest in the throne.

But the fact that the son of the Ghost King dared to ask him such a question clearly showed that he had them completely under his thumb.

If they don't agree, they probably won't be able to leave here alive.

At this moment, Nie Yang was cursing Shen Zhonghe in his heart. If it weren't for Shen Zhonghe, why would he have come to the South City Prison?
This is just great.

The first time I came, the emperor had already passed away.

The second time I came, I got myself into trouble.

Wan Guiyi deeply resisted being a two-faced person.

He just submitted to the Empress today, and in less than a few hours, a new master has betrayed the Empress. How can this be allowed?
The best way to escape this place is to subdue the Ghost King's son and take him hostage to escape from the South City Prison.

The fact that the son of the Ghost King dared to say such a thing to them in person meant that the Ghost King must have been watching nearby.

If he dares to make a move, he'll probably die before he even touches the Ghost King's son.

What if I abandon everything, ignore Nie Yang, and escape using only my own strength?
No, no!
Didn't you see that seven half-step Grandmasters were locked up here like spineless wimps?

He doesn't want to become a spineless coward.

"Is this your intention? Or the Ghost King's?"

After asking the question, Nie Yang sarcastically remarked, "Wasn't asking this redundant?"
What difference does it make whether the son wants to be emperor or the father wants his son in the mortal world to be emperor?

"You all seem reluctant. So you're not going to agree?"

Huang Taichu grinned, finding amusement in the two of them.

Upon hearing this, both Nie Yang and Wan Guiyi's expressions showed signs of struggle.

They were clearly torn between whether or not to submit to the son of the Ghost King.

At this moment, someone entered the third level of the Heavenly Prison.

Still two people

Ye Wuji

"Li Tianwu"

As the two approached, Nie Yang and Wan Gui were both startled when they saw their true faces.

One is the Director of the Zhenwu Division

One was the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
How could two supreme masters appear here together?

Before they could figure it out, what happened next terrified them.

They saw Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu both kneel down on one knee before the son of the Ghost King.

Their pupils dilated, wondering if what they were seeing was an illusion.

Even the most revered masters and supreme experts have a day when they kneel before people.

He even knelt down twice at once.

It should be noted that they are not only Grandmasters, but they also control the two strongest institutions in Da'an: the Zhenwu Division and the Jinyiwei.

They never paid homage to His Majesty when he was alive, but now they do here.

This made Nie Yang and Wan Gui feel weak, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

When did this happen?
When did the son of the Ghost King subdue the high and mighty Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu?
"Greetings, Lord Ghost King"

Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu said in unison.

The Ghost King!?
When Nie Yang and Wan Guiyi heard Ye Wuji and Wan Guiyi refer to Huang Taichu as the Ghost King, their eyes widened again.

So the son of the Ghost King is the Ghost King himself!

I see, no wonder...

"What's the matter?"

Although Huang Taichu has a god-like perspective, he is too content to keep an eye on everything.

Aside from a few important people and matters, he generally doesn't interfere in other things. "When the emperor dies and the empress takes control of the court, not only is the country in chaos, but the martial arts world is also in turmoil."

"Martial artists bully the weak, scoundrels rob and plunder, and even the Demonic Sect has come out to cause trouble..."

"The Empress sent someone to summon me, intending for me to leave the capital and venture into the martial world after the young emperor ascends the throne, to help stabilize the martial world."

Ye Wuji didn't hide the presence of Nie Yang and the other two outsiders. In any case, these two would eventually become his own people, and there was no other choice.

Just as he had expected, Nie Yang and Wan Guiyi were trembling at this moment.

They no longer had any of their previous hesitations. After all, even powerful figures like Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu had submitted to the Ghost King, so what was there for them to hesitate about?

Now that the Ghost King is talking to the two big shots, they dare not interrupt and can only stay obediently.

At the same time, they had another question: what was the Ghost King's purpose?
Because they no longer naively believe that the Ghost King wants to become emperor. The court originally had five supreme masters, and with Li Tianwu, there are six.

The fact that the Ghost King married Di Qingtian's sister means that Di Qingtian's master, Master Shi, was also on the Ghost King's side.

Of the six supreme masters, half are under the Ghost King's command.

The Grand General who guards the frontier is not in the capital.

The palace is guarded by only two Grandmasters of the Li royal family. If the Ghost King has any ideas, he can just sweep through.

But the Ghost King remained unmoved, which piqued their curiosity.

Huang Taichu remained silent, shifting his gaze from Ye Wuji to Li Tianwu.

"The Empress also sent someone to find me, saying that there are too many corrupt officials in the world."

"The same idea is to have subordinates leave the capital after the young emperor ascends the throne and purge all corrupt officials from the country."

"I think it's because the Empress felt uncomfortable that the two of us stayed in the capital, which is why she wanted us to leave."

"It will also make it easier for Her Majesty the Empress to have Fan Hongyan control the entire Imperial Guard in the capital."

Li Tianwu analyzed.

"Since your presence in the capital makes her uncomfortable, then grant her wish. After the young emperor ascends the throne, you will leave the capital."

"Try to stay outside as long as possible, and let her control the Imperial Guards in the capital as she pleases. Anyway, Fan Hongyan is one of our men."

Huang Taichu said calmly.

When Nie Yang and Wan Guiyi heard that the Right Deputy Commander Fan Hongyan was one of the Ghost King's men, they trembled. They never expected that the seemingly honest Fan Hongyan was so cunning.

After dealing with Ye Wuji and the other two, Huang Taichu turned to look at Nie Yang and the other two.

"you……"

"thump"

"thump"

Huang Taichu only said "you," and Nie Yang and Wan Guiyi quickly knelt down.

They don't kneel on one knee, they kneel on both knees.

"We are willing"

After Nie Yang and the other man finished speaking in unison, they both kowtowed deeply.

They didn't lift their heads; their foreheads were pressed tightly against the ground.

"It's all your fault, you two. I was just looking for some fun to kill time, why did you two come so quickly?"

Huang Taichu couldn't help but turn around and complain about Ye Wuji and the other man.

Both Ye Wuji and Ye Wuji lowered their heads slightly, acknowledging their mistakes.

Upon hearing this, Nie Yang and his companion were secretly relieved that Ye Wuji and his companion had arrived quickly and that they had knelt down just as fast, otherwise they would have become the target of the Ghost King's amusement.

Seeing Nie Yang and the other man like this, Huang Taichu lost interest in continuing to amuse them.

He gave them some instructions, told Wan Guiyi to take revenge, and prepared to send them away.

"Lord Ghost King, there is also Shen Zhonghe by the Empress's side. Why not subdue him as well, so that the Empress's side will be full of our people?"

Nie Yang hadn't forgotten that he had been dragged into the mess by Shen Zhonghe, which was why he ended up in the South City Prison.

How can we not repay this "gratitude"?
"If it weren't for him, do you think you would have come to the South City Prison?"

Huang Taichu chuckled and asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Nie Yang's lips twitched. It turned out that Shen Zhonghe was also one of their own.
