#37 - Chapter 037 Jiang Tiantai's murderous intention

After leaving the ancestral land, Jiang Yunhe went to the Great Xia Imperial Palace and met the Great Xia Emperor, Jiang Tiantai.

"Royal niece, why have you returned from the Nine Desolation Sword Sect?"

Jiang Tiantai pretended to be kind and asked with concern.

Jiang Yunhe didn't fall for it and sneered, "If Your Majesty hadn't crippled my brother's foundation and exiled him to the ancestral land for reflection, why would I have returned?"

Seeing that Jiang Yunhe had come with ill intentions, Jiang Tiantai said, "I didn't want to cripple the royal nephew and exile him to the ancestral land for reflection either."

"He not only behaved frivolously towards Wang Lingyan, the Holy Maiden Wang Youning's younger sister, but also... was also bewitched by the Moon Demon and boldly released her."

"Being able to spare his life is the most I could do."

Jiang Yunhe sneered, "Don't think I'm easily fooled. My brother is definitely not the kind of person who would be blinded by lust. You want to help your son ascend to the position of Crown Prince, you must have been planning this for a long time, right?"

Jiang Yunhe absolutely believed in her brother.

Jiang Tiantai's expression suddenly turned cold. "Are you saying that I framed Jiang Ning?"

"Jiang Yunhe, how dare you be so bold, defying your superior and showing disrespect to the emperor."

Jiang Tiantai unleashed his imperial威严(wēi yán, authority) and coldly rebuked her.

"I'm not slandering, this is the truth."

Jiang Yunhe was not afraid at all and confronted Jiang Tiantai.

For her brother's sake, she would not back down even if it meant facing a Heaven-Human Realm great cultivator, let alone a Sage.

"Bold! Insulting the imperial dignity, she should be thrown into the Heavenly Prison!"

Jiang Tiantai waved his hand, preparing to capture Jiang Yunhe.

Even if you are a disciple of the Nine Desolation Sword Formation, you are not qualified to act recklessly in Great Xia.

"Jiang Tiantai, do you dare to hurt me?"

At this moment, a long sword appeared in Jiang Yunhe's hand.

The sword light was intimidating, and a powerful sword intent was contained within the precious sword.

At this moment, all the swords in the palace trembled, as if worshiping a king.

"Wind Demon Sword... the Wind Demon Sword used by the Wind Demon Sword Saint Feng Qingyang back then!"

Jiang Tiantai was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Sword Saint Feng Qingyang ah.

A great figure who shocked Xuanhuang, a Great Sage even stronger than a Sage.

Nine Desolation Sword Sect, one of the top ten cultivation sects in Xuanhuang.

It is divided into nine sword palaces: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Yin, and Yang.

The Palace Master of the Wind Sword Palace is Feng Qingyang, a Great Sage.

The other eight Palace Masters are all Sages.

In addition, there is the Nine Swords Sect Master, the Desolation Heaven Sword Saint, a Great Sage Realm cultivator.

Three Sage Elders.

Two Great Sages and eleven Sages are the foundation of the Nine Desolation Sword Sect.

The fact that the Wind Demon Sword is in Jiang Yunhe's hands proves that Jiang Yunhe has been designated by him as the heir to his mantle.

Jiang Yunhe is the Young Palace Master of the Wind Sword Palace.

This status is extremely noble, even in the entire Xuanhuang Continent.

Even higher than the status of the Great Xia Emperor Jiang Tiantai.

Of course, the Jiang family has a Sage who can kill the Love Flower Old Ancestor with a single sword.

Now, the status of the Great Xia Emperor Jiang Tiantai has improved a lot.

Seeing Jiang Yunhe take out the Wind Demon Sword, Jiang Tiantai quickly stopped.

He really didn't dare to attack the Wind Demon Sword Saint's disciple.

Jiang Yunhe smiled triumphantly, "Jiang Tiantai, as long as you restore my brother's position as Crown Prince, I will not pursue this matter, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

She was not afraid of Jiang Tiantai either.

Before leaving, her master gave her three Sage sword intents, which could kill great cultivators above the sixth level of the Heaven-Human Realm.

"Jiang Yunhe, although the Sword Saint is powerful, my Jiang family also has a Sage who can kill a Demon Saint with a single sword. You must not be presumptuous."

Being threatened by a young girl made the Great Xia Emperor Jiang Tiantai very angry, and his face turned ashen.

The position of Crown Prince belonged to his son Jiang Beiteng, how could he easily forgive Jiang Ning?

Jiang Yunhe clenched her fists in anger, her face flushed.

If it weren't for the appearance of a Sage in the Jiang family, who even killed a powerful Demon Saint with a single sword, rumored to be a Great Sage...

She would have already attacked Jiang Tiantai.

Her status was enough to allow her to run rampant in Great Xia.

Jiang Yunhe never expected that the Jiang family Sage she was wary of would be her own brother.

"Jiang Tiantai, I will not give up on rescuing my brother."

Jiang Yunhe left the palace.

Looking at the receding figure of the girl, Jiang Tiantai's eyes were full of murderous intent.

But, in the end, he lost heart.

Sword Saint Feng Qingyang was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.

As for the Jiang family's Sage, he didn't know if he was Feng Qingyang's opponent or if he would help him.

...

"Do you know?"

"The Eldest Princess has returned."

"Haha, I didn't expect the Princess to become a disciple of Sword Saint Feng Qingyang and become the Sword Saint's heir."

Jiang Yunhe's return gave the former dynasty's old officials a backbone, and they gathered under her command.

Back then, if the power of these former dynasty's old officials hadn't been weak...

When Jiang Tiantai deposed Jiang Ning's position as Crown Prince, why would he have gone to so much trouble? He could have just issued an imperial decree and killed him.

Jiang Yunhe accepted these former dynasty's old officials.

With the Jiang family's Sage around, she couldn't easily attack Jiang Tiantai directly.

But, she could use reasonable means to unite the officials and force Emperor Jiang Tiantai to submit.

At that time, the Jiang family's Sage would not interfere.

The former Great Xia Emperor Jiang Tianmang was ambitious and talented, and had extremely high prestige in Great Xia, so the power of the old officials in the court was very great.

These former dynasty's old officials also especially wanted to support Jiang Ning to take the throne.

Only in this way could they maintain their current power and status for a long time.

Thus, Jiang Yunhe began to launch a campaign in the Great Xia court to rescue her brother Jiang Ning.

Even the worst outcome would be to launch a coup, unite the officials to depose Emperor Jiang Tiantai, and become the Emperor herself.

Then, she would pass the throne to her brother.

As a disciple of Sword Saint Feng Qingyang and the Young Palace Master of the Wind Sword Palace, she was fully qualified to compete for the position of Emperor.

The Great Xia court thus became turbulent.

The next day after the court session, the long-silent former dynasty's old officials began to present memorials, demanding the restoration of Jiang Ning's position as Crown Prince.

This made Jiang Tiantai's face turn ashen with anger, and he almost lost control.

Of course, the ministers loyal to Jiang Tiantai also began to counterattack.

They seized on the fact that Jiang Ning's release of the Moon Demon was a serious crime and began to retort.

The Great Xia court instantly turned into a verbal battlefield, with spittle flying everywhere.

They even almost started fighting.

This gave Jiang Tiantai a headache.

He never dreamed that Jiang Yunhe would actually become the Young Palace Master of the Wind Sword Palace.

Because of this status, many neutral ministers also stood on Jiang Yunhe's side.

Putting Jiang Tiantai's side at a complete disadvantage.

...

After the court session.

Jiang Tiantai immediately summoned Wei Tianxian.

Wei Tianxian appeared in front of the dragon throne in an instant, like a ghost.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Wei Tianxian said respectfully.

"Eunuch Wei, go and kill Jiang Ning."

"To avoid accidents and prolonged troubles, take action yourself."

Jiang Tiantai revealed a vicious look.

As long as Jiang Ning died, how could Jiang Yunhe restore her brother's position as Crown Prince?

As for the agreement with the Empress Dowager, he no longer cared about it.

Letting Wei Gonggong, a great expert at the fifth level of the Heaven-Human Realm, take action was also to prevent Jiang Yunhe from having any backup plans to protect her brother.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, soon the head of the deposed Crown Prince will appear on your desk."

Wei Tianxian revealed a confident smile.

He disappeared into the palace and headed towards the ancestral land.
