The Fourth Heavenly King

Chapter 265 The Fourth Heavenly King

The emperor and the imperial teacher were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This demon cult leader was so bold that he had no scruples at all as the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult. Even the emperor and the imperial teacher wanted to pull him into the Heavenly Demon Cult!

"If you can't cure your injuries, you won't be able to take back the throne. With the skills of my Tiansheng Sect, I can at least support my family."

Qin Mu advised, "If you join the sect now, I can give you very high authority, such as the Heavenly King Elder or something like that. When you are completely useless and hopeless, if you want to join again, I can only give you the title of Incense Master at most, and the deputy one at that. Madam, please help me persuade them."

The Imperial Master's wife smiled but said nothing.

Yankang Imperial Master said calmly: "If I want to be the leader, I will be the leader."

Emperor Yanfeng nodded and said, "Me too."

Yankang Imperial Master said: "You will be the leader, and I will help you."

Qin Mu's eyes lit up: "Does the emperor really want to be the leader?"

Emperor Yanfeng was dumbfounded. He had never expected that Qin Mu actually intended to hand over the position of the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader. If he became the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader, wouldn't Yankang Kingdom belong to his Heavenly Demon Sect?

This is really a hot potato, we can’t take it!

Imperial Master Yankang also felt overwhelmed and quietly shook his head at the emperor, signaling him not to accept it.

The Imperial Master's wife chuckled and said, "Master Qin, they are not happy about it, but I am happy about it. I wonder what position you can assign to me?"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up and he secretly praised the woman for her intelligence. She came out to smooth things over in order to avoid embarrassment to the Imperial Master and the Emperor.

"If Madam joins the church, I can give her a sinecure and a title."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Madam, can you embroider? How about being the incense master of the embroidery hall?"

"good."

The young woman smiled, pulled the Imperial Master aside, and whispered, "Husband, why do you have to reject Master Qin? What are your chances of winning this time when you return to the capital?"

Imperial Preceptor Yankang was silent for a moment, then said, "People all over the world support the reform, and 70% to 80% of the civil and military officials in the court are my and your Majesty's people. After returning to the capital, we will definitely be able to kill the traitors and take back power."

The Imperial Master's wife laughed and said, "Are you serious? The Great Leiyin Temple and the Dao Sect will not obstruct us? Can you stop Tathagata and the Dao Master, or can Your Majesty stop them?"

Qin Mu leaned over and said with a smile, "The princes and ministers in the capital all have several Taoists and monks living in their homes, chanting Buddhist teachings or reading Taoist scriptures."

Imperial Preceptor Yankang remained silent. His wife pushed Qin Mu away and whispered, "The two sacred places are keeping a close eye on your power. Others who are close to you are either under house arrest or imprisoned. Now, the only power you can borrow is from Patriarch Qin. If you borrow their power, you must make them feel at ease."

Qin Mu leaned forward again and was about to speak, but the Imperial Master's wife pushed him away again.

Imperial Master Yankang thought for a moment, then walked towards Qin Mu and asked, "Is the Tiansheng Sect still lacking a Heavenly King?"

Qin Mu nodded: "The Fourth Heavenly King."

Yankang Imperial Master said: "I will be the fourth Heavenly King, but Your Majesty must not have anything to do with the Heavenly Saint Religion. Your Majesty, I will join his Heavenly Saint Religion."

Emperor Yanfeng was stunned. After a long while, he slowly said, "I am sorry for the injustice, Imperial Master."

Qin Mu smiled and said to Emperor Yanfeng: "Your Majesty seems to have misunderstood our Tiansheng Sect. Our Tiansheng Sect is not a religion, but just a philosophy that people use every day. It follows the way of saints. Your Majesty and the Imperial Master are carrying out the same reforms as us..."

The wife of the Imperial Master smiled and said, "Master, we should be on our way. There is no need to preach anymore. Your Majesty cannot join our Tiansheng Sect."

The wife of the Imperial Preceptor sat on the back of the dragon unicorn, while Qin Mu, Imperial Preceptor Yankang, and the Emperor walked below. The two of them used the Three Dan Techniques of the Tyrant Body that Qin Mu taught them to recover some of their energy.

The two men were like ascetic monks. They walked slowly and with great difficulty. It took them two or three days to reach Qinzhou.

The Tianmo Sect in Qinzhou had already prepared medicinal herbs, and Qin Mu was able to finally heal the injuries on Emperor Yanfeng's soul, and the State Master's external injuries as well. However, Qin Mu had no way of guiding out the remaining magical powers that the God had left in his body.

The remnants of the gods' magical powers were extremely powerful. If Master Yankang could refine them, it would not be difficult for Qin Mu to heal all his injuries. The key was that Master Yankang could not use his magic power. These remnants of magical powers were hidden in his body and in the divine treasure. He had to use his own magic power to suppress these remnants of magical powers. If he was not careful, he might trigger the power of these remnants of magical powers.

"Neither the emperor nor the imperial teacher can fight." Qin Mu sighed in his heart.

The two strongest men in Yankang Kingdom are now both sick and in need of his care and protection.

He was also practicing, day and night. As long as he moved, the Three Dan Techniques of the Tyrant Body would be activated unconsciously, and five rays of star power and starlight in the sky would continuously surge in.

While on the road, Qin Mu was also practicing swordsmanship diligently, constantly practicing the two swordsmanship taught to him by the village chief, trying to perfect it.

When Imperial Master Yankang saw his two sword moves, he exclaimed softly and couldn't help but take a few more glances at them. He asked in surprise, "Master, which of your family members taught you this?"

"The chief of our village, the oldest one."

Imperial Master Yankang thought for a moment and said, "You tried to integrate the three basic sword styles I created into these two sword techniques? These two sword techniques are already extremely perfect. Adding my basic sword styles will disrupt the balance. It can increase the power, but it will also create many more flaws. Why did you do this?"

Qin Mu used his sword to open the ocean of blood, and suddenly he felt a sense of sorrow and tears in his heart. The mountains and rivers were still there, and his heart was vast. He looked around, and his homeland was no longer in its old clothes. This was a lonely person who was reminiscing about his homeland and the martyrs, with a sad and heroic feeling.

Master Yankang picked up a branch from the ground and said, "There are still many flaws in your moves. Why don't I teach you some moves?"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Please give me some advice."

"I don't deserve it."

Qin Mu also took a branch, and the two used the branches as swords. State Master Yankang used his skills, and Qin Mu used two sword techniques from the sword diagram to resist. However, after a moment, State Master Yankang broke through the gap and broke through the sword-ridden mountains and rivers.

Qin Mu thought for a long time. The flaws pointed out by National Master Yankang were different from those pointed out by the village chief. Both of them were great masters of swordsmanship, but they took different paths. There was a kind of heroic and passionate sentiment in the village chief's swordsmanship, while National Master Yankang was adventurous, reformative, enterprising and pioneering.

Different concepts lead to different sword techniques.

They gave Qin Mu advice, and Qin Mu gained different benefits.

The village chief gave Qin Mu some advice, but Qin Mu had already exhausted all his wisdom and his foundation was not enough to continue improving these two moves. However, National Master Yankang gave Qin Mu some advice in a different way, allowing him to continue improving his swordsmanship.

As they practiced, Qin Mu gained more and more insights into swordplay. He felt that his swordsmanship seemed to be about to leap to another level, but there was always a veil between them that he could not jump over.

"There's no need to practice anymore. It won't make any progress."

Imperial Master Yankang said: "If you want to break through, you need to understand it yourself."

Qin Mu was puzzled, but Emperor Yanfeng understood clearly from the side and said with emotion: "If you take one more step, you will be a junior master. Qin Aiqing, how old are you now to have reached this level? When I reached your level, I was fifty-seven years old. I practiced the Nine Dragon Emperor Technique, drawing the energy of the nine dragons to practice, and my vitality was so strong that I could sense the movement of the dragon energy of the earth and the unpredictable situation in the world, so I broke through in one fell swoop. You are thirty or forty years ahead of me."

Qin Mu smiled and asked, "What is the strength of your Majesty's Nine Dragons Emperor Skill?"

“My specialty is change.”

Emperor Yanfeng said solemnly: "If you want to learn, I can teach you. Before me, the Nine Dragon Emperor Art was just a kind of art to master magic, but in my hands, any magic, swordsmanship, and physical supernatural power can all be performed. Why? Dragon means change! Dragons can be big or small, invisible or visible, can fly into the sky, can swim in the deep sea, can be hidden in the abyss, can be visible in the field, can make clouds and rain, can make fire burn the sky, can control wind and thunder, can send down sweet dew. Do you want to learn?"

He thought Qin Mu would refuse, after all, he was the Demon Cult leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult, a well-known figure, but he didn't expect Qin Mu to simply say, "I want to!"

Emperor Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Well, who said that the Nine Dragon Emperor Art is the art of my Ling family and cannot be passed on to others? I will pass it on to you."

The Imperial Preceptor's wife looked at Emperor Yanfeng in surprise. Imperial Preceptor Yankang said calmly, "Your Majesty is such a person, generous and forthright, otherwise you wouldn't dare to use me. In fact, I have read the original version of the Nine Dragons Emperor's Art no less than ten times."

Emperor Yanfeng passed on the Nine Dragon Emperor's Skill to Qin Mu, teaching him how to circulate Qi and how to circulate the Nine Dragon Qi.

This technique is different from the Three Dan Kung Fu of Tyrant Body. It is majestic and powerful, yet also varied. Every move contains the power of heaven and earth.

"The Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Cover is a spell that transforms into nine real dragons, hides in the clouds, and attacks the enemy. Look!"

Emperor Yanfeng mobilized his vital energy, and a small cloud the size of a palm emerged three inches above his head. Several thin dragon qi like earthworms bared their fangs and claws, looking very ferocious.

Emperor Yanfeng's vitality was exhausted, and the cloud and dragon energy dissipated with a pop.

Emperor Yanfeng panted and said, "I don't have any magic power anymore, but you should understand what I mean."

Qin Mu nodded and activated the Three Dan Techniques of the Tyrant Body, fusing the Nine Dragon Emperor Technique with the Tyrant Body Qi. Suddenly, a dragon appeared in mid-air, and nine dragons stretched out their claws, crushing all the rocks within a radius of dozens of feet around them.

Emperor Yanfeng was stunned, and State Master Yankang was also surprised. They saw the nine dragons flying around them, and suddenly they turned into fire dragons, with flames spinning. Fire tornadoes suddenly formed around them, lifting their bodies up.

The fire dragon changed again, controlling the flood and carrying them on the water. Then thunder erupted, striking everywhere with a sizzling sound.

Emperor Yanfeng and Imperial Master Yankang looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

As soon as Qin Mupu mastered the Nine Dragon Emperor Technique, it was as if he had practiced it for more than ten or twenty years. He was able to control it with ease, better than most of the princes in the Imperial Academy.

Qin Mu dispersed the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Cover, and Emperor Yanfeng taught him everything he had learned without reservation, and sighed: "It would be great if your last name was Ling..."

The capital was only two or three days away, and there were still three days until the sixth day of the third month when the crown prince would ascend the throne. Suddenly, a large bird flapped its wings and flew over, then landed and rolled, transforming into a woman in green, who bowed and stood in front of them: "Master, everything is ready."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "You go first."

"As you wish." The woman turned around and ran two steps. Suddenly, her body shook and two wings grew behind her. She flew into the air.

"If the Great Leiyin Temple and the Taoist sect can kill the emperor, then my Tiansheng Sect can also kill him. Otherwise, how can we become the number one holy land of the demon path?" Qin Mu said softly.

Imperial Master Yankang frowned: "What are you going to do?"

"Enter the city and kill the emperor."
