Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 52
Chapter 52: That B1tch, Ye Qingwan
A clear bell repeatedly rang within the Border Town.
But strangely, after a long time, only a few lights flickered on in the town.
Once, even a slight movement could startle these people, but now, even with the alarm bell ringing, they didn’t bother to pay attention.
“To think that only a year has passed, and their vigilance has become so poor,” Shi Lei stood in mid-air, looking down, and sighed.
“Under Ye Xuan’s influence, they have become accustomed to a life of luxury and debauchery, so naturally they no longer have their former alertness,” Ye Yu chuckled lightly.
The former Ye Yu, put the people first, although he loved his subjects, he focused more on teaching them how to fish.
But Ye Xuan is different; to quickly remove Ye Yu from power, many residents in this border town were aided by Ye Xuan.
With a mountain of gold to lean on, naturally many basic abilities would regress.
Immediately, Ye Yu stopped looking and returned to Great Qin with Shi Lei.
It wasn’t until the sun was high the next day that the townspeople sleepily left their homes, preparing to go to the Post Station to receive their daily “salary,” but upon arriving at the Post Station, they found it empty.
The guards who usually guarded the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring would distribute gold and silver every morning, but today, not a single one was seen.
Just as everyone was feeling strange, the sky suddenly darkened.
Many people looked up curiously, but saw vast bl00d qi emanating from the mountains and forests, like dark clouds obscuring the sun, pouring towards them.
“The Bl00d Spring erupted! ” someone in the crowd shouted.
But many people scoffed at this, some even mockingly said: “What are you panicking about? Didn’t the Crown Prince say that this bl00d qi is not as terrifying as Ye Yu said? ”
“At most, you’ll feel uncomfortable for a few days, it’s not a big deal. ”
Hearing this, many who were preparing to flee stopped, some even sarcastically said: “I said that Ye Yu was faking it, he even sealed the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, and it’s useless after only one year. ”
“Full of lies, he’s really not as good as the current Crown Prince, how could I have been so blind to think Ye Yu was good. ”
“Alright, alright, we all know Ye Yu is no good, let’s prepare to move away, even if there’s nothing serious, it’s not good to get sick. ”
Hearing this, the crowd dispersed little by little.
They were still chatting and laughing along the way, as if this Nine Nether Bl00d Qi, which made Qingzhou cultivators change color, was no different from ordinary water vapor in their eyes.
But at that moment, a shrill cry rang out.
Many people were stunned and looked back.
They saw a person contaminated with bl00d qi screaming in pain, their body visibly aging and then decaying, the whole process taking no more than a cup of tea.
Ordinary people are not like cultivators; they do not have spiritual energy to protect their bodies.
Cultivators contaminated with Nine Nether Bl00d Qi, due to their spiritual energy, would eventually turn into Bl00d Corpses, becoming monsters.
While ordinary people would simply decay.
Seeing this, many people’s faces turned pale instantly, looking at the person turning into bl00d and the constantly decaying city walls and buildings, they finally realized something was wrong.
They cried and ran away, many unfortunate ones being trampled to death by the panicked crowd.
But many people ran only a few steps before gasping for breath, and finally could only watch helplessly as they were engulfed by the bl00d qi, finally decaying completely in terror, turning into bl00d.
The bl00d qi spread quickly, and soon reached the border of the two dynasties.
The Great Qin soldiers watched the Great Yan subjects running and crying, one after another being engulfed by the bl00d qi, all breaking out in a cold sweat.
They clearly remembered the tragic scene here when the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring was not yet sealed.
Not only the soldiers, but also the common people in Great Qin City trembled at the sight of the dark Nine Nether Bl00d Qi, they hadn’t forgotten the tragic consequences this bl00d qi brought them.
Seeing that the bl00d qi was spreading rapidly and about to reach them, a green light flashed, pushing back all the bl00d qi.
The soldiers then noticed someone standing in mid-air; it was he who controlled the bl00d qi.
“It’s Ye Yu! That person is Ye Yu! ”
A soldier shouted, and immediately everyone was startled.
One by one, they looked up, and saw the familiar figure, the person who had saved the Great Yan Border like a god descending from heaven, now standing in Great Qin.
Many people were in tears; finally, Great Qin finally had a guardian god.
After a few sticks of incense, a sharp contrast had formed between Great Qin and Great Yan; peace and prosperity reigned within the city, while outside the city was a desolate wasteland, with horrifying cries everywhere.
Since it spread over such a large area, the concentration of Nine Nether Bl00d Qi has already dispersed a lot, and the speed of aging is slowing down, but this prolonged suffering makes it even more painful.
Many Great Yan refugees frantically beat on the Great Qin City Gate, longing for protection.
But they were all turned away.
Soon, the news of the Bl00d Spring’s eruption reached Great Yan Imperial City.
Many cultivators turned pale at the news, then left without hesitation.
Even if they were far from the Great Yan Imperial City, who knows if something unexpected might happen.
And not only the Imperial City, everyone in Great Yan who heard the news, as long as they knew something about the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, fled in all directions.
In the Great Yan Imperial Palace, Ye Fan’s face was even more unsightly when he learned the news; he had been preparing to attack Great Qin, but at this crucial moment, the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring had erupted.
Although it was far from the Imperial City, if it was not controlled, the consequences were not something Great Yan could bear.
However, what angered Ye Fan even more was that Ye Qingwan colluded with Ye Yu to seize the Imperial Throne, and before the investigation was clear, the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring erupted.
It’s hard not to connect the two things together.
When he returned to Great Yan, he had specifically checked, Ye Yu’s seal was indeed weakening, but it was enough to last until after the Hundred Dynasties War, but it happened earlier, Ye Yu must have tampered with it.
“Little Xuan, organize your people and control the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring first, as for that b1tch Ye Qingwan, I won’t let her off easily,” Ye Fan said coldly.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan did not plead for Ye Qingwan, he also wished Ye Qingwan would die, but he knew it wasn’t the time.
“Father Emperor, but… the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi is not so easy to control,” Ye Xuan hesitated.
“Don’t worry, you can take anyone from the Attendant Hall, simply controlling it is not that troublesome. The rest, we’ll talk about it after the Hundred Dynasties War,” Ye Fan waved his hand.
Ye Fan then took out a token and gave it to Ye Xuan.
The moment Ye Xuan saw the token, his eyes lit up; it was an Imperial Cultivator’s Token, with this token he could freely deploy the Great Yan Imperial Consecrates, the true backbone of Great Yan.
This also meant that the Imperial Throne was a sure thing!
After Ye Qingwan learned about the incident, she became anxious and had no choice but to seek Ye Qingshuang’s help.
Ye Qingshuang is, after all, a disciple of Master Cang Yun, with her help, at least her life is safe.
But when she walked into Ye Qingshuang’s Palace, she froze in place.
