The sky-covering technique begins, and the rising moon over the sea shocks Yue Yao.

"If you accept the award, His Majesty will surely be delighted and will hold you in even greater regard."

Baili Changge said firmly, "The envoy has no need to say more. Changge has decided to refuse the reward."

"Please tell His Majesty that Changge only wants to live a peaceful life and has no intention of getting involved in court disputes."

The envoys had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

They set out on the journey back to the palace with hearts full of loss and worry.

Along the way, the envoys remained silent, each thinking about how to report to Emperor Tai'an.

They were well aware of how much Emperor Tai'an valued Baili Changge and the Zhuxian Sword, and they would probably be punished if they failed in this mission.

Finally, they returned to the palace.

Emperor Tai'an was anxiously waiting for their news in the imperial study.

Seeing the envoys return, Emperor Tai'an couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"

"Have you found out the origins of the Immortal Execution Sword?"

"Did Baili Changge accept the reward?"

The envoys all knelt, and the leading envoy said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Baili Changge has refused the reward. He said that he is not interested in this. Thank you for your kindness, but I am sorry that I cannot comply."

Emperor Tai'an's face darkened and he snorted angrily, "How dare this Baili Changge refuse my reward!"

"Who does he think he is?"

The envoys were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, and lowered their heads waiting for Emperor Tai'an's anger to subside.

Emperor Tai'an paced back and forth, feeling extremely anxious.

The envoys became even more panicked, and the leading envoy continued cautiously, "Your Majesty, as for the Immortal Execution Sword, Baili Changge is also keeping his mouth shut."

"He only said that he found the sword by chance, and he didn't know its exact origin."

"We can't get any more information."

Emperor Tai'an slammed the table angrily and shouted, "Useless! A bunch of useless people!"

"If you can't even do this, what use do I have to you?"

The envoys kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."

"We have tried our best, but Baili Changge is too stubborn and refuses to reveal the origin of the Zhuxian Sword."

Emperor Tai'an glared at them, his heart filled with anxiety and anger.

He knew that Baili Changge possessed the Zhuxian Sword and was extremely powerful. If he could not figure out the origin of the Zhuxian Sword and find a way to deal with Baili Changge, his kingdom would be in jeopardy.

"You guys go down!" Emperor Tai'an waved his hand tiredly.

The messengers retreated quickly as if they had been pardoned.

Emperor Tai'an sat on the dragon throne, lost in thought.

He knew that he had to come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Chapter 225: Meet Su Changhe and Su Muyu, support?

At this time, Baili Changge was also thinking about his future path.

He knew that Emperor Tai'an would not give up and a bigger storm was about to come.

He must prepare himself for the upcoming challenges.

In the school, everyone was discussing yesterday's battle and the arrival of the imperial envoy today.

Jun Yu frowned slightly and said, "Junior Master, Emperor Tai'an must have ulterior motives for bestowing this reward."

"If you refuse the reward, I'm afraid it will cause him dissatisfaction."

“Let me see…”

"With Emperor Tai An's personality, he will definitely not let this matter go."

"So, Junior Master, I think you should prepare well in advance."

"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens and we're not prepared..."

Baili Changge smiled calmly and said, "I have already anticipated Emperor Tai'an's intentions."

"He simply wants to test the strength of me and the Immortal Execution Sword. If I accept the reward, I will fall into his control."

Mo Xiaohei also said worriedly: "Junior Master, will Emperor Tai'an send someone to test us again? Or will he take other measures?"

Baili Changge said with a firm look in his eyes, "No matter what means he uses, I will not be afraid."

"I will stick to my beliefs and protect those around me."

Baili Dongjun clenched his fists and said, "Changge, we will always support you."

"If Emperor Tai'an dares to do anything bad to you, we will never agree."

Baili Changge looked at everyone and felt a warmth in his heart.

.........

......

...

After a brief discussion with everyone in the school, Baili Changge had a clearer judgment of the future situation.

He knew very well that conflict with Emperor Tai'an was inevitable.

After a little thought, Baili Changge decided to go to the city to meet Su Changhe and Su Muyu.

After all, controlling the Dark River forces might be able to provide some help to himself.

He put on a dark cloak, with the mysterious Zhuxian sword hanging around his waist, and left the school.

The streets in the city are still bustling with people.

The cries of vendors and the conversations of passers-by are intertwined, forming a picture full of life.

However, Baili Changge had no intention of appreciating this prosperous scene. His mind was entirely on meeting with Su Changhe and Su Muyu.

He walked through the bustling crowd towards the agreed location.

Soon, we arrived at the agreed location, a quiet teahouse.

This teahouse is located in a corner of the city, away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area, and is particularly quiet.

The appearance of the teahouse is simple and elegant, and the wooden doors and windows are carved with exquisite patterns, revealing a sense of time.

Baili Changge walked into the teahouse and immediately saw Su Changhe and Su Muyu sitting in the corner.

Both of them were dressed in black robes, with stern faces and eyes that revealed vigilance and uneasiness.

Seeing Baili Changge coming, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Baili Changge raised his hand slightly, motioning them to sit down.

"Have you come to any conclusions in the past two days?"

Baili Changge asked straight to the point, his voice steady and powerful.

Su Changhe frowned slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his narrow eyes, and said: "Master Baili, the Dark River forces are complicated and it is not easy to control them."

"In the Dark River, various forces are intertwined, and everyone has their own interests and ambitions."

"Moreover, the survival methods of the Dark River have always been secretive. If we are not careful in our actions, it may cause an uproar."

Su Muyu continued, "These people have a huge influence in the Dark River, and they have hindered our actions."

"If we can get rid of them, we will be able to serve you better."

"However, these key figures all have their own confidants and influence. Eliminating them requires careful planning and cannot be done rashly."

After hearing this, Baili Changge fell into deep thought.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

After a moment, he said, "We must proceed with caution and not alert the enemy."

"Do you have any specific plans?"

Su Changhe and Su Muyu exchanged a glance, then slowly said, "We plan to start from their weaknesses and gradually disintegrate their power."

"Though these key figures are powerful, they also have their weaknesses."

"Some people are greedy, while others are overly conceited."

"We can exploit these weaknesses and set traps for them to fall into."

Su Muyu added: "We can also win over some of the Dark River members who are dissatisfied with them to strengthen our forces."

"At critical moments, these people may be able to help us."

Baili Changge nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you enough time."

"But remember, don't have any second thoughts, otherwise you know the consequences."

There was a hint of majesty in his eyes, making people dare not look directly at him.

Su Changhe and Su Muyu nodded quickly, expressing their absolute loyalty. Su Changhe said, "Master Baili, rest assured. Since we have chosen to be loyal to you, we will never have second thoughts."

"Although the Dark River is mysterious and powerful, under the leadership of the Young Master, we believe we will be able to move towards a more glorious future."

Su Muyu also said: "307 We will go all out and work hard to help you control the Dark River."

Baili Changge nodded.

And this time.

Su Changhe and Su Muyu looked at each other.

Su Changhe spoke again, "Master Baili, although we now have a preliminary plan, we still have something to ask of you."

"what's up?"

Baili Changge looked at the two of them and spoke lightly.

"Everyone else in the Dark River Organization is easy to deal with, but there are a few people who are very difficult to deal with. They are very strong."
