Chapter 468 Si Xiaofei's Trump Card, The Arrival
At this critical moment, Jia Xu and Yao Guangxiao's plan finally revealed its true intentions.
They didn't really intend to destroy the Tianyu Huanglong ship, but rather to use the current to scatter everyone on board, creating chaos and paving the way for their true purpose.
That goal was something Si Xiaofei could never have imagined—to overthrow imperial power and rewrite history.
As the water surged, the soldiers on the Tianyu Huanglong warship were scattered. In the chaos, the assassins of Luowang seized the opportunity and began to board the Tianyu Huanglong warship to carry out a frenzied massacre.
Their figures were like ghosts, their blades gleaming with a cold light, each strike deadly.
In an instant, the Emperor of Daqian's retreat route was completely cut off by this sudden change.
The Heavenly Imperial Yellow Dragon Ship, once a flagship symbolizing supreme power and glory, has now become a golden cage trapping Si Xiaofei.
Floods, rebellions, assassinations—a series of crises intertwined, forming a deadly trap that awaited this self-important emperor.
The flood raged, the waves surged, and even the heavens and earth seemed to be moved.
Those soldiers who were once loyal to him are now beginning to waver under the dual pressure of the flood and the rebellion.
Jia Xu and Yao Guangxiao's plan, like a meticulously laid net, is gradually tightening.
They knew that shaking the foundations of an empire was no easy task, but if they could take advantage of the situation, they could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Floods, rebellions, and assassinations—these three seemingly unrelated factors actually complemented each other, together forming a fatal blow against the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
At this critical juncture of life and death, Si Xiaofei finally realized that the real enemy often hides in the shadows. They do not show their strength, but can deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment.
Looking at the Heavenly Imperial Yellow Dragon Ship that he had once been so proud of, a deep sorrow welled up in his heart.
This ship, once a symbol of his power, has now become a shackle on his fate.
However, even in this desperate situation, Si Xiaofei did not give up.
Instead, he immediately ordered the fleet to change formation, forming an impregnable defensive line centered on the Tianyu Huanglong ship. At the same time, he dispatched his prepared bodyguards to try to break through the blockade formed by the Luowang and find a way to retreat.
However, Jia Xu and Yao Guangxiao were no ordinary people.
They had long ago laid numerous ambushes behind the Great Qian fleet and the Taiping Sect forces, waiting for the arrival of Great Qian's support.
One fierce battle after another unfolded amidst the floodwaters and flames, with countless lives being lost in the chaos every single second.
Si Xiaofei looked at the tragic scenes and felt a mix of emotions.
He once thought he could control everything, but now he finds that he cannot even control his own destiny.
However, just in this moment of despair, a strange light suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the chaotic battlefield.
Si Xiaofei looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard walking through the void.
"Your Majesty, the will of Heaven has changed, the imperial regalia has been transferred, and it will belong to the virtuous."
"This is a calamity for the Great Qian Dynasty, and also a calamity for Your Majesty. However, only those who survive this calamity will reveal the true nature of an emperor."
The old man spoke slowly, his voice resounding like thunder across the sky.
"Ancestor!"
Si Xiaofei's eyes lit up as he looked at the figure in the void.
The newcomer was none other than Si Cangqiong, the reclusive patriarch of the Si family of the Great Qian royal family. He was one of the most mysterious figures in the Great Qian royal family, with unfathomable cultivation. The technique he cultivated was called the "Azure Sky Technique." It is said that this technique originated from ancient times and could communicate with heaven and earth, borrowing the power of heaven and earth for his own use, making it infinitely powerful.
Like Zhen Yuanzi, who was the Supreme Elder of the Farmer Clan, his cultivation level far exceeded the peak of the Celestial Realm, reaching the limit of the half-step Celestial Realm.
He once single-handedly suppressed the unrest in all directions of the Great Qian Dynasty, quelled countless rebellions, and ensured decades of peace for the Great Qian Dynasty.
His glorious past is as dazzling as the stars, and every battle he fought is worthy of being recorded in history.
Even the most unruly military generals in the Great Qian Dynasty would feel awe at the mention of Si Cangqiong's name.
They are the true guardians of the Great Qian Dynasty, one of the most powerful foundations of the royal family, and one of the reasons why Si Xiaofei is so confident in leading the expedition in person.
Even if there are any unexpected factors, it shouldn't be a problem if this ancestor only protects himself and leaves.
It's a pity that Si Xiaofei had considered everything, taking into account all the forces on the Tianwu Continent capable of stopping this ancestor.
However, they overlooked Su Ye, the person who was summoned by the sixth brother to maintain balance midway through the process.
So, as expected, something unexpected still happened.
There really is someone among those who came this time who can stop this ancestor!
"Ancestor, you've finally arrived!"
A surge of indescribable excitement welled up in Si Xiaofei's heart, as if he had grasped a lifeline in this moment of despair.
However, the expression of the Celestial Ancestor was not as relaxed as Si Xiaofei had expected; on the contrary, it was extremely solemn.
Si Xiaofei felt a chill run down his spine and immediately became alert. In the distance, he saw several elderly men with equally powerful auras slowly approaching.
"The Six-Fingered Black Knight of the Mohist School, Guiguzi of the School of Diplomacy, Chu Nangong of the Yin-Yang School... Gentlemen, why are you stopping me?"
The voice of the Celestial Ancestor revealed a hint of chill that was hard to detect. He had not expected to encounter so many powerful enemies here today.
"Ancestor Cangqiong, we did not intend to obstruct you, but today's matter concerns the plans of those behind us, and we have no choice but to intervene."
One of them, dressed in a dark robe, had an unusual finger—an extra one—which was implanted into the Mo family elder of Tianwu Continent today, the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
The "Ink Attack Secret Technique" he cultivated allowed him to manipulate mechanisms and cultivate both internal and external skills.
Although his aura was far inferior to that of the two beside him, he relied on the ingenious and ever-changing mechanisms of the Mo family.
If it's just to stall Si Cangqiong, it shouldn't be a problem in the short term.
What's more, there are two other people there to back them up.
"We both know that Old Master Si is immortal. The wheels of history keep turning and no one can stop them."
"Today's situation is the result of a joint scheme by many forces, a matter of destiny. Why do you insist on going against the will of Heaven?"
Guiguzi, dressed in a black robe with his face hidden under a hood, revealing only a pair of deep eyes that seemed to see through all the mysteries of the world, spoke calmly.
"Ancestor of the Si family, we all know that you have done a great deal for the Great Qian Dynasty."
"However, it is a matter of timing and fate. The destiny of the Great Qian Dynasty has come to an end, and a new dynasty must be established. This is the cycle of Heaven, which cannot be reversed."
Chu Nan Gong, dressed in the distinctive attire of the Yin-Yang School, holding a dragon-headed cane, exuded an aura of Yin-Yang harmony, and sighed softly.
"The cycle of Heaven?"
"Hmph! I'll see who can stop me from protecting my descendants of the Great Qian Dynasty today!"
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor of the Azure Sky frowned, his spiritual light intensified, clearly indicating that he was bursting with anger, and said coldly.
After saying this, the Ancestor of the Azure Sky moved and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for Chu Nan Gong.
Not to be outdone, Chu Nan Gong also leaped into the air, and the two clashed in mid-air in an instant, their spiritual light overflowing and their energy surging.
Seeing this, Guiguzi and Six-Fingered Black Knight also used their respective skills to attack Cangqiong Ancestor at the same time.
The four fought fiercely in the void, and the world seemed to be shrouded in an invisible force, causing the wind and rain to change color and the flood to flow backward.
