Chapter 53: A Trump Card for the Empress

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Jiufeng slashed out with his sword, forcing the black fog to retreat continuously.

It realized that Lin Jiufeng wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

In fact, it already knew that this was the case when Lord Mountain Ghost was killed just now.

Someone who could break into his Divine Soul World, destroy the shield that he had set up with one strike, and who could kill people here with seemingly no effort at all…

The black fog knew that it couldn’t do anything to Lin Jiufeng.

Hence, it chose to retreat.

Unlike the arrogant Lord Mountain Ghost, the black fog retreated slowly but surely.

However, Lin Jiufeng’s sword had already slashed out once more.

Boom!

In the very next moment, when the black fog was about to dissipate, Lin Jiufeng struck its body with his sword.

The black fog trembled. It let out a muffled groan.

Unfortunately, it managed to escape in the end.

It left the Divine Soul World with a body full of injuries.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t stop it. After all, this place was created by it.

No one could stop it from leaving.

“The sword energy that I left in your body will ultimately lead me to you.”

Lin Jiufeng’s eyes twinkled with a slight gleam.

The ancestor of the Mountain Ghost Race was different from what Lin Jiufeng had expected.

It was obviously at the Human God Realm. However, it wasn’t as powerful as the average Human God. From the beginning till the end, it hid in the black fog without coming out. Its true body never appeared.

Even when it was time for them to interrogate Lin Tianyuan, he used Lord Mountain Ghost as the proxy to do it. Considering all of these, Lin Jiufeng guessed that this so-called ancestor was definitely an old monster that had lived for many centuries.

With its departure, the black palace also disappeared.

Lin Jiufeng and Lin Tianyuan’s Divine Souls returned to the Empress’s Palace.

In the Empress’s Palace, Lin Jiufeng took his hand off Lin Tianyuan’s forehead.

He sat at the side and pondered on his own silently.

The Empress watched quietly from a distance.

She still couldn’t see Lin Jiufeng’s appearance.

Although the brilliance that covered his body was already nowhere to be seen, Lin Jiufeng’s appearance itself seemed to be like a mirage in the ocean, just looking at him alone was confusing to the eyes.

Lin Tianyuan finally woke up.

The weakened Lin Tianyuan had been tortured in his dreams. As a result, his body became so fragile that he couldn’t even get up.

The Empress hurriedly went to support Lin Tianyuan up.

Lin Jiufeng looked at Lin Tianyuan and slowly said, “There’s no need to be anxious to get up.”

“Your body has lost a lot of its energy this time. You suffered a lot in your dreams. The other party wants you to release the members of the Mountain Ghost Race, and he was serious in his threat.”

“Uncle, I’m still so useless. To think that I cannot even resist the urge to sleep,” Lin Tianyuan said bitterly.

“It’s okay…”

“Concubine Ming should’ve taken your blood and hair and gave it to the Mountain Ghost Race.”

“The secret technique they used is very difficult to guard against.”

“Tonight, you’ve suffered a great loss, but if you rest your body well in the future and make up for the loss, living for another 40 years won’t be a problem,” Lin Jiufeng said softly.

The disaster this time had severed Lin Tianyuan’s path of cultivation. It also broke his thoughts of breaking through to the Martial Sage realm. However, in the future, as long as he took care of his body properly, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to live for another 40 years.

By that time, he would also be an old man in his seventies.

It could be considered that he had lived a fulfilling life by then.

Lin Tianyuan smiled bitterly and said, “So this is actually related to Concubine Ming? But I only have myself to blame for this, I can’t blame anyone else. I even have to trouble Uncle to help clean my mess up. I’m useless…”

Lin Jiufeng looked at him calmly and said, “You’ve been by my side since you were five until you ascended to the throne when you were 15. I watched you grow up. You’ve been very obedient all these years…”

“Although you were occasionally rebellious, you’re still the best successor for your father. He didn’t choose the wrong person, and I didn’t choose the wrong person too.”

Lin Tianyuan smiled and said softly, “To be able to gain Uncle’s praise, then all my efforts over the years haven’t been in vain.”

“I’m going back now. You don’t have to worry about the Mountain Ghost Race’s old ancestor anymore. He destroyed your cultivation base and your body, I will make him pay the price for this.” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes turned slightly cold.

“Thank you, Uncle.”

Lin Tianyuan insisted on trying to stand up to send Lin Jiufeng off, but he couldn’t stand up at all.

In the end, the Empress sent Lin Jiufeng out of the palace on behalf of Lin Tianyuan.

Lin Jiufeng soared into the sky and disappeared.

The Empress returned to the hall in a daze.

She looked at Lin Tianyuan and asked uncertainly, “That person just now is your Uncle?”

Lin Tianyuan nodded and patted the edge of his bed, signaling the Empress to sit down.

She sat down obediently.

“My Empress, I have let you down all these years.” Lin Tianyuan sighed.

“Your Majesty, what are you saying? I married Your Majesty when I was 16 years old. I’m only in my thirties this year, and I’m already the mother of the God Dynasty. I control the imperial harem and have bestowed glory upon my family for the next 10 generations. You didn’t let me down on anything.” The Empress grabbed Lin Tianyuan’s large hand and said gently.

Lin Tianyuan looked at the smiling Queen and he held her hand tightly with a bitter smile on his face.

No words were necessary, they both understood.

Thinking about it carefully, Lin Tianyuan knew how much of a bastard he used to be.

Fortunately, God gave him another 40 years to live.

“My Empress… That person just now is the Yuhua God Dynasty’s guardian and also my uncle,” Lin Tianyuan said softly.

He told the Empress his most important secret.

In the entire Yuhua God Dynasty… No—in the entire world, only two people knew Lin Jiufeng’s identity.

One was Emperor Ming, Lin Tianyuan.

The other was Dachun.

Dachun was a simple and honest person. He knew that Lin Jiufeng was very powerful, and he vaguely guessed that Lin Jiufeng was the Human God that everyone referred to as the expert living in seclusion within the Imperial Capital…

But he definitely didn’t know as much as Lin Tianyuan.

Lin Tianyuan was the one who knew Lin Jiufeng’s ‘entire background’.

After all, they had lived together for 10 years.

This was his greatest trump card.

In the past, he didn’t dare to tell anyone.

But today, he took the initiative to tell the Empress about it.

His heart had completely accepted the Empress’s presence.

“Uncle?” The Empress looked at Lin Tianyuan in surprise. “Your biological uncle?”

Lin Tianyuan nodded and revealed a faint smile.

He was very proud. “If we weren’t biologically related, who would help me like this? How could he bother to scold me whenever I make a mistake and help me correct my ways?”

“I’ve been married to Your Majesty for more than ten years, and I’ve seen all of Your Majesty’s relatives before.” The Empress thought carefully but she was still confused.

“Think about it carefully,” Lin Tianyuan said with a smile.

The Empress thought carefully.

A frown appeared on her beautiful face.

“Your Majesty, I’ve thought about all the relatives of the royal family throughout these years, but I still don’t know his identity. Just tell me,” the Queen said coquettishly.

“I wonder if you remember about my Grandpa Emperor choosing the Crown Prince?”

Lin Tianyuan asked.

“I know…”

“Father Emperor suppressed a group of princes back then and was chosen as the Crown Prince.” The Empress nodded.

“Then, do you know that there was another Crown Prince before my father?”

Lin Tianyuan asked.

“I don’t know. I was just born at that time. I was only a child.” The Empress shook her head.

Lin Tianyuan couldn’t help but sigh.

Time truly was heartless.

It had completely wiped out all traces of the former dethroned prince, Lin Jiufeng.

If even the Empress didn’t know, then who else among the common people still knew about him?

“Before my father became the Crown Prince—the Crown Prince was my uncle—my biological uncle. He was born to the same mother as my father.”

“It was only because he made a huge mistake back then that he was stripped off his title as the Crown Prince and banished to the Cold Palace. It was then that my father became the Crown Prince and ascended to the throne.”

Lin Tianyuan explained slowly.

Light flashed through the Empress’s eyes when she heard his words.

She was truly surprised.

“My Empress. You must remember this. In the future, if I am no longer around and you encountered something very difficult that will bring danger to the Yuhua God Dynasty…”

“Go to the entrance of the Cold Palace and beg Uncle to help. This is the trump card that I have prepared for you and my son,” Lin Tianyuan said solemnly.

“I will remember!” The Empress nodded solemnly.
