Chapter 1637: Continue to perform forever

The old emperor sat back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the ceiling to the sea of ​​clouds above the sky.

"Father, when you passed away, you said that your son would not have a good end. Did you already see your son's today at that time?"

"Are you taking revenge on me for forcing you to abdicate?"

The old emperor smiled bitterly: "It seems that there is really karma in this world. Maybe the fruit today is really what I planted back then."

"Eighteenth brother, you have been staying in the North Territory all these years and never returned to the Holy Tree Immortal Kingdom. Did you also see your brother's end a long time ago?"

"Why have I sent you so many letters for so many years, but you never replied?"

"Don't you want to see your brother so much?"

"Ah..."

A deep sigh echoed in the room.

At this time, the old emperor did not see that there was a person standing on the ground in front of his desk. It was Zhao Mu.

Looking at the old emperor who was almost exhausted, Zhao Mu shook his head gently: "Shengshu Mingchen, your eighteenth brother doesn't want to see you, but he has died a long time ago."

The old emperor naturally couldn't hear what Zhao Mu said, so he didn't respond.

He calmed his mind and began to use his magic power to repair his injuries, trying to delay the erosion of the five decays of heaven and man on his body as much as possible.

He had things to deal with in the world, and he couldn't die yet, so even if he could delay for a few more days, it would be fine.

And sensing the changes in the old emperor's body, Zhao Mu shook his head gently: "You are already extremely old, and just now you were stimulated by the death of your son. You can't delay for much longer."

Zhao Mu sighed softly and turned to walk out of the imperial study.

Another old friend is about to pass away, and he is really more and more like a passerby in this world.

Walking out of the imperial study, Zhao Mu took off directly and flew over the palace.

He stood on the clouds, overlooking the entire palace, and suddenly saw the prince Shengshu Longchang walking out of the palace.

At this time, Shengshu Longchang's steps were heavy, and he seemed to be still immersed in the grief of his brother being poisoned to death.

But the excitement deep in his eyes revealed his true heart.

It seems that the throne that is about to be obtained has almost made him unable to control himself.

"This guy is indeed suitable to be an emperor, but not quite suitable."

Zhao Mu shook his head, and his figure floated into the sea of ​​clouds.

The next Shengshu City was like the opening of a big drama, and everyone was playing their own roles.

The old emperor Shengshu Mingchen seemed to really not know who killed his son. He roared angrily in the court and assigned the court officials to quickly investigate who the murderer was.

The court officials were naturally terrified and worked hard to handle the case.

Regardless of whether they really wanted to find out the identity of the murderer, at least their loyalty was admirable.

As for the prince Shengshu Longchang, he was naturally heartbroken, and he scolded the murderer for being vicious and killing his brother on any occasion, including in the prince's mansion.

And just three days later, the murderer who poisoned the princes was found out.

It is said that he was a remnant of the immortal sect that was destroyed by the Holy Tree Immortal Kingdom.

Because the sect was destroyed, the other party hated the Holy Tree Immortal Kingdom, so he wanted to poison all the sons of the old emperor to avenge the people of his own sect.

It is said that when the man was killed, he cried out that it was a pity, saying that the prince Shengshu Longchang was lucky enough not to eat his poison, and it was God who was blind.

But even if he turned into a ghost, he would never let Shengshu Longchang go.

Sooner or later, he would crawl out of the ground and drag Shengshu Longchang and the old emperor to hell together.

In the end, the man resisted stubbornly and was killed directly by the pursuers, and it seemed that even the body was not left.

Since then, the case of the princes being poisoned has been solved, and all the evidence is irrefutable.

It didn't take long for the funerals of the princes to end.

The entire Holy Tree City returned to peace, as if the death of several princes did not cause any changes in the city.

Human life is so insignificant that even if you are a prince, you can die without any waves.

Three months later.

Just when everyone in the court and the country thought that the peaceful days would last for a long time.

Suddenly, news came from the palace that the old emperor was about to die.

But before his death, the old emperor decided to use his last potential to deduce the secrets of the Holy Tree Fairyland, so he summoned the prince to the palace for an audience.

In addition, all the civil and military officials in the court had to wait in the palace to bid farewell to the old emperor.

So the whole Holy Tree City was in chaos, and the powerful officials rushed into the palace in plain clothes, while the ordinary people were all driven back home and were not allowed to go out before the ban was lifted.

Such a big commotion naturally made Zhao Mu, who had been staying in the Holy Tree City, know about it.

So out of boredom, he also rushed to the palace to bid farewell to Shengshu Mingchen, an old friend.

After entering the palace, all the powerful officials were asked to wait outside the Council Hall, and only the crown prince Sheng Shulongchang was summoned to enter.

In the huge Council Hall, the old emperor sat alone on the dragon throne, watching Sheng Shulongchang push the door in.

But he did not see Zhao Mu, who followed closely behind Sheng Shulongchang and entered silently through the door.

"Your son pays respect to the emperor!"

Sheng Shulongchang knelt forward with a sad expression.

This guy is really good at acting.

Zhao Mu shook his head and looked at the old emperor on the dragon throne.

At this moment, the old emperor exuded an extremely strong smell of decay, which was the complete outbreak of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man.

Zhao Mu frowned slightly: "No, usually, the deduction of the secrets of heaven before the death of the immortal cultivator will be carried out before the five decays of heaven and man completely break out."

"Because only when you are about to die, the deduction of the secrets of heaven will have the best effect, and once the five decays of heaven and man completely break out, it means that the person is actually dead."

"The effect of deducing the secrets of heaven at this time will definitely be greatly reduced. Why did Shengshu Mingchen choose to deduce at this time?"

Zhao Mu felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the old emperor waved his hand and blocked the entire council hall with a powerful ban.

He said calmly: "Okay, I am about to die, so you don't have to pretend to be so sad."

"What does your father mean? Do you still not believe your son and think that your son killed your brother?" Shengshu Longchang's eyes were full of grievances.

The old emperor sneered: "Very good, remember your performance today, and keep acting forever, never let others know the truth of the matter, my Shengshu Immortal Kingdom does not need an emperor who kills his brothers."

"I didn't kill my brother, why can't you trust me, and still doubt me?" Shengshu Longchang roared angrily.

The old emperor's eyes flashed with praise: "Very good, that's it, keep acting forever, it's best to deceive yourself, then you can sit firmly on the throne."
