Revelation, Imperial City
The young monarch who was far away in the imperial city was also asking about Li Yuan's whereabouts at this moment.
It was impossible for what had happened at Blackrock Mountain to be concealed from the Emperor.
"In reply to Your Majesty, the Sect Leader and Li Yuan are both severely injured, and the two of them have disappeared. There is still no news of them." The royal spy knelt in front of the emperor and reported in a low voice.
"Is his face ruined?" The young Emperor asked as he rubbed his sore forehead.
This had been going on for too long, and now it was finally over.
"Don't worry Your Majesty, the High Priestess was poisoned since she was young. Once she takes off her mask, the poison will slowly act up and his face will not recover." The face of the Demon Sect's leader was a huge hidden danger. How could such a shrewd person like Emperor Xian not have a backup plan?
It had to be known that the Tian Clan had never had any purely brotherly feelings. No matter how much the late emperor trusted his twin brother, he wouldn't let him show off his face.
Once he took off the mask, the poison that had been lurking on his face for more than forty years would take effect, slowly destroying his face bit by bit.
Or perhaps, his face had caused trouble for the Imperial Family, and he had harbored thoughts that he shouldn't have. Or perhaps, his face had brought trouble for the Imperial Family, and he had harbored thoughts that he shouldn't have.
The late emperor was born as a direct descendant, but it was only after battling with his brothers that he was able to sit in this position. He knew better than anyone else how ambitious those born in the imperial clan were.
They were both princes and royals, no one was worse than anyone else. Who would be willing to live in darkness for their entire life and become a shadow that could not be seen?
Although the Devil Sect's Sect Leader hadn't revealed his ambitions in the past few years, the late emperor had never believed him.
In the eyes of the late emperor, the Devil Sect's Sect Leader was just a blood relation with him. If this person had been obedient all this time, the late emperor would definitely have kept on using him for the sake of his brothers. However …
If this person was out of his control, then there was no need to live in this world.
The late emperor left in a hurry, not giving His Majesty enough time to teach him how to be a wise and authoritative emperor. However, the late emperor told him everything behind the scenes and even made arrangements for the current emperor.
Even if he were to die, the Devil Sect's leader must die for the sake of value. Even if it meant the death of the Royal Family, they must squeeze out the last of his value.
In the late emperor's plan, the Demon Sect Master and Li Yuan were both pieces in his hands. These two had the ability and were very useful, but to the royal family, these two were great hidden dangers.
After they lost their value, or after they threatened the royal family, these two shouldn't exist anymore.
Any one of these two men would be powerful opponents, and it was not impossible for the Imperial Family to eliminate them, but it definitely had to pay a huge price. The late Emperor did not want to make such a fearless sacrifice, so he kept them waiting for them to kill each other.
Li Yuan and the Demon Sect had a blood feud, if the time was right, the two would kill each other.
If the two of them were to fight, both of them would end up with injuries on both sides. Even if it wasn't a mutual destruction, it was impossible for the two of them to cooperate. Even if one died and the other was injured, the royal family could eliminate two hidden dangers at the same time without using any soldiers or soldiers.
The late emperor had never believed in the Demon Sect Master before, and had never believed that he could hide it from Li Yuan for the rest of his life.
As Li Yuan grew older, his value would decrease and the amount of things she could do for the imperial family would decrease.
Taking advantage of the last bit of value that Li Yuan had, to let him get rid of the Devil Sect's Sect Leader, was the most beneficial for the Imperial Family.
Although the current situation hadn't gone as the previous emperor had predicted, the final result would still be the same.
Regardless of whether Li Yuan knew or not, she did not doubt the identity of the Devil Sect's leader. In the end, both Li Yuan and the Devil Sect's leader were heavily injured, and even if Li Yuan had enmity with the royal family, if she had any hatred, she would not be able to kill her way back.
One must know, the Demon Sect's Sect Leader was also not someone to be trifled with. Even if Li Yuan could kill him, he would not be able to do it himself.
In the late emperor's plan, once the Devil Sect's leader died, the forces of the Devil Sect would take over his position as a confidant of the Devil Sect. At that time, the Devil Sect would continue to be used by the royal family, to help them occupy the influence in the martial world, to deal with some shameful matters for the royal family. But...
With Xiao Jiu'an making her move, the Demonic Sect's forces would probably not be able to hold on any longer, the previous Emperor's plan to swallow the Jianghu forces would probably end too.
As for Xie Yong's existence?
To tell the truth, this could not affect the late emperor's plans. Li Yuan, who had already become old and had been injured by the Devil Sect's Sect Leader, was like a toothless tiger to the Imperial Family.
The royal family wouldn't even put an old, injured, and former number one expert in the martial arts world in their eyes.
At this time, the Emperor was not afraid of Li Yuan coming to the Imperial City, he was only afraid that she would not appear.
As long as Li Yuan appeared in front of everyone, she would die.
On this point, Li Yuan, who had been severely injured, fell into the ocean at the same time as the Demon Sect's Sect Leader, and was simultaneously saved by a fisherman, was incomparably clear.
Indeed, even now he was not sure if the Devil Sect's Sect Leader was related to the Imperial Family or not, but he was sure that the Imperial Family had already given up on him and even wanted to take his life.
When both him and the Demon Sect's Sect Leader were injured, he sent a distress signal to the Imperial Death Worrior. However, what he received was not rescue troops, but assassins …
