The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 711 - 315: Xu Liushou’s Mercy

No forbidden, no preferable.

Moreover, if he dared not use it, he would lose to the old Demon in momentum.

Under the influence of the Dusk Drum and Dawn Bell.

The power of the Soul Summoning Spell greatly increased, and at the same time, Xu Qing unraveled the obstructive force of the Dynasty Destiny like peeling silk from cocoons with the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand.

Unknowingly, seven hours passed.

"Return!" Xu Qing’s eyes showed a trace of fatigue.

The shadow of Prince Yu walked to the front of his flesh and suddenly darted into Prince Yu’s body.

"Succeeded?" The Temple Master of Chaotian had a bit of excitement.

To be honest, Xu Qing’s series of operations were truly breathtaking.

His application of Taoist Divine Powers, every detail was exquisite, making the Temple Master of Chaotian, an old hand, watch in a daze.

Moreover, many places seemed ordinary, but through Xu Qing’s handling, they appeared deep and profound, revealing mysteries never heard before.

This is the benefit of Xu Qing inheriting Lu Zu’s legacy memory.

In terms of Dao Skill, in today’s world, no one can compete with Xu Qing, the Heavenly Demon Lord.

Well, the old Demon of Black Mountain should be excluded first.

...

...

"Xu Qing, are you also dead?" Prince Yu woke up quietly, seeing Xu Qing.

"Your Highness." Teacher Dai couldn’t help interrupting.

Seeing Teacher Dai, Prince Yu was relieved again, Teacher Dai was indeed loyal.

However, soon Teacher Dai told him the truth of what happened.

After Prince Yu listened, his expression was extremely complicated.

Because it was actually Xu Qing who saved him, and it was the order of the old Emperor.

Moreover, having died once, although he still held some resentment in his heart, he seemed to see things more clearly.

"Your Highness, I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany you." Xu Qing floated away.

The crowd watched him leave.

Although Xu Qing was still Xu Qing.

However, the operation just now made Chen Zhong and others feel inexplicable emotions. Before, they understood Xu Qing’s power, but that kind of speculation could not compare to the impact of resurrecting Prince Yu.

It turned out that Xu Gongming had already reached the point of controlling "Life and Death."

To make one die is something a person in power can do.

To make one "live," this is truly a supreme existence.

It can make any significant person unable to escape from the cycle of life and death deeply fear.

This is no longer on the same level.

...

...

On the way to meet the old Emperor at the Longevity Palace, Prince Yu suddenly spoke: "Teacher Dai, why did Xu Qing save me?"

"Perhaps it’s due to compassion." Teacher Dai mused slightly.

"Compassion." A trace of self-mockery appeared on Prince Yu’s face.

Even if Xu Qing was truly "compassionate," would someone like him deserve it?

In any case, having walked close to the Ghost Gate once, he owed Xu Qing a life.

In this life, the one person he least wanted to owe was "Xu Qing."

Yet he still owed him a life.

How could he repay that?

Prince Yu deeply realized that this was his father’s punishment for him.

Yet, in his heart, he didn’t feel sad, but a sense of relief and joy.

Because his father also didn’t want him to "die."

After Teacher Dai finished speaking, he silently followed beside Prince Yu.

...

...

Longevity Palace.

Father and son met.

In terms of appearance, this pair of ruler and son had similarities, but their temperaments were entirely different, so they felt completely unlike each other.

Teacher Dai silently followed Prince Yu and knelt in the great hall, using the corner of his eye to observe.

In fact, he felt in his heart that Xu Qing was more like the Longevity Emperor.

Not only in appearance but also in that sense of "wisdom."

The old Emperor and Xu Qing were both people who wanted to grasp everything in their hands.

In terms of means, Xu Qing was definitely more clever.

But if Xu Qing were in the supreme position from the beginning, he wouldn’t need too clever means.

In fact, fathers and sons in the world, aside from bloodlines, throughout their lives, mostly just resemble each other. Therefore, power schemers or politicians often prefer those who can truly inherit their aspirations and careers.

To people like them, their achievements are truly their own lives.

The flesh is merely a tool to realize achievements.

Bloodline inheritance is merely a means to make the continuation of their achievements more stable.

In the long history, even if Ancestor Dragon were revived, he would consider Han Gao as the true inheritor of his career.

"Is it easier to live, or easier to die?" The old Emperor said indifferently.

"To die." Prince Yu difficultly spat out a word.

"Why choose to be a coward? You are my Crown Prince; can’t you bear even this bit of suffering?"

"Crown Prince?" Prince Yu’s heart trembled.

He never expected that the title he yearned day and night would come from his father’s mouth after dying and resurrecting.

He had never thought that he could hear this word from his father’s mouth.

Old Emperor: "Do you think you are not the Crown Prince?"

"I have not been officially conferred by Your Majesty." Prince Yu said this, seemingly using all his strength.

"Jiangshan, its name is Jiangshan, not truly Jiangshan. Who among the civil and military officials of the entire Court doesn’t recognize you as the Crown Prince? Even you believe so; how can you not be?"

Prince Yu was stunned. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Old Emperor: "But from today onwards, you are no longer ’Crown Prince.’

When Prince Yu committed suicide, there was no pain; after reviving and learning Xu Qing saved him, there wasn’t pain like now.

And now, it was absolutely the most painful time in his life.

This was extreme pain.

Because the old Emperor now essentially told him that his failed life wasn’t anyone’s fault but rather his inability to bear being Crown Prince.

"At the age of a dozen years, I came to the Capital and became Emperor. But at that time, I knew I wasn’t the Emperor. Only after the Great Rite did I realize I truly became the Emperor." The old Emperor said to Prince Yu today, seemingly more than he had in many years combined.

After all, two dragons don’t meet.

They met, so Prince Yu was no longer a "dragon."

The old Emperor said a lot, but Prince Yu seemed to hear nothing, yet each word was clear.

It turned out his father remembered what he liked as a child, remembered his birth date, remembered what injuries he suffered due to mischief, remembered him studying late into the night, remembered when he got married...

His father never saw him, yet always paid attention to him.

He didn’t even know how he walked out of the Longevity Palace.

This was also his last time coming to the Longevity Palace in this life.

Because he "died of illness."

"Teacher Dai, in the future, you can only stay by my side as an ordinary person." Prince Yu apologized.

Teacher Dai smiled: "Your Highness, from now on you can finally sleep peacefully."

Prince Yu nodded silently.

The old Emperor allowed Prince Yu to live as an ordinary person from now on, because Prince Yu was already "deceased" with a complete burial ceremony, declared to the world.

From a legal standpoint, any Prince Yu that appeared thereafter wasn’t the real Prince Yu.

Because the old Emperor had already defined this matter.

Moreover, Prince Yu could only be a humble clerk in the Heavenly Work Institute in the future.

Teacher Dai also "died," accompanying Prince Yu in the guise of a long follower.

...

...

Xu Qing received the message from Chen Zhong and learned all of this.

He didn’t care.

As the old Emperor said, "Jiangshan, its name is Jiangshan, not truly Jiangshan."

Now, nothing could shake Xu Qing’s position in the Great Yu Dynasty, not even the old Emperor.

...

...

Prince Yu’s funeral was solemn.

Seven days later, it was precisely the seventh day after his death.

This was the Ghost Festival.

In the Capital, there were indeed many rumors regarding Prince Yu, but the grand ceremony signified the matter was conclusively settled, leaving no room for appeal.

And the Imperial Grandson was officially conferred as Crown Prince.

Xu Qing was the teacher of the Crown Prince.

His examiner, Shen Mo, during the provincial exam was Prince Yu’s teacher, and now Xu Qing had become the teacher of the Crown Prince, a clever arrangement by the old Emperor indeed.

Of course, currently, no storm could arise within the Court.

This was merely another nail in the coffin.

Xu Qing’s handling of Court affairs was largely out of habitual control.

The real big trouble was coming!

...

...

On July 15th, there was no daylight.

Thick black clouds approached the Imperial City, flying sand and rolling stones, like the end of the world.

In the Imperial Palace, the Golden Armor Guards were already on guard, Shadow Guards were gathered, and Qi-Blood soared to the sky.

But the oppressive feeling from the black clouds grew heavier.

Even though all the Martial Saints of the Great Yu Dynasty were now concentrated in the Imperial City, they still couldn’t disperse the black clouds with Qi-Blood.

A sense of despair kept spreading.
