Chapter 359: Rebellion!
Cough cough —
Instantly, Ji Wentian spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Your Majesty!”
Everyone was shocked as they guarded the Emperor.
Eunuch Liu knew that the Emperor must have been injured and had acted up again.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu pointed at Ji Xuan and said, “Ji Xuan, this is treason. You want to kill your father. This is treason!”
Ji Xuan’s gaze was ice-cold as he looked at Ji Wentian and said, “Father? Hahahaha…I’ve never treated him as a father! He’s just an old antique who has always been guarding the throne.
“Since you’ve never abdicated the throne, then today, I’ll take it myself.”
At this moment…Zhao Yin, who was beside Ji Xuan, hurriedly followed Ji Xuan’s words and said obsequiously, “That’s right. His Highness is a great talent and should have become the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. However, His Majesty would rather give the throne to Ye Chen, that wild brat from who knows where than to give it to His Highness Ji Xuan.
“Isn’t His Majesty being a little too irresponsible toward the Eastern Imperial Kingdom?”
The moment these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials present were shocked.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu pointed at Eunuch Zhao and asked, “Where did this dog come from? Is it your place to speak here?”
“You…” Zhao Yin was enraged.
Ji Xuan calmly looked at Ji Wentian.
He coldly said, “Ji Wentian, I’ll give you a chance. If you obediently abdicate your position, I can spare your life and allow you to live for another two days. However, given your current state, you won’t be able to live for more than a few days!
“However, if you don’t give in, then today, I will allow you to live in the throne room!”
Ji Xuan coldly stared at Ji Wentian.
This did not seem like something a son would say to his father.
“Protect His Majesty!”
Instantly, Liu Xi gave the order.
One by one, the imperial guards rushed out.
A total of five Transcending Tribulation Realm experts appeared in the main hall.
Including Liu Xi, there were a total of six.
At this moment, Ji Xuan continued to laugh, “Ji Wentian, don’t tell me you still think that the situation is within your control?”
“Think about it, why do you think I can point my sword at you with so many guards and officials in the entire Eastern Imperial Kingdom? Do you think that there are still people in the Royal Palace under your command?”
At this moment, Ji Xuan gave him a look.
Instantly, powerful auras appeared from outside.
Immediately, powerful Transcending Tribulation Realm experts appeared outside the throne room.
A total of twelve Transcending Tribulation Realm experts appeared behind Ji Xuan.
This was a world of immortal cultivators. Regardless of whether it was in the Imperial Palace or outside if one wanted to have a say, one had to be a Transcending Tribulation Realm expert at the very least.
“You…Ji Xuan, what are you going to do?” Liu Xi immediately asked.
“Hehe…what are you going to do? Of course, it’s a rebellion!” Ji Xuan laughed.
At this moment, Ji Xuan’s gaze turned toward Ji Wentian.
“Also, do you think that Ye Chen can become the Emperor just by arriving here? Do you think that the civil and military officials will listen to him? Take a look, how many people here are loyal to you!”
At this moment, Ji Xuan clapped his hands.
At this moment, half of the civil and military officials in the imperial court stood up and followed behind Ji Xuan. They drew their weapons and joined Ji Xuan’s side.
At this moment, Liu Xi was extremely surprised!
“You!”
“Are you planning a rebellion too?”
At this moment, a minister said, “We are doing this for the Eastern Imperial Kingdom!”
“We all know Prince Ji Xuan’s abilities, but none of us know what that bastard Prince Ye Chen is capable of. Furthermore, what right does a country bumpkin have to be our Emperor?”
“That’s right. Compared to that bastard prince, Prince Ji Xuan is more capable of leading us and our Eastern Imperial Kingdom!”
“Your Majesty, please pass the throne to Prince Ji Xuan!”
“Your Majesty, please pass on the throne!”
Instantly, half of the officials said in unison.
In the Imperial Court, the other civil and military officials all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
They understood in their hearts that this was a palace coup. If they said the word ‘no’ at this moment, they would die without a doubt.
Ji Xuan smiled and slowly walked toward the Dragon Throne.
He had planned for so many years for this throne, and now, his dream was finally about to come true. He could finally become the Emperor today.
Step by step, he walked toward the Dragon Throne. As long as he sat on it, he would be the Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Empire!
“Father, what’s wrong? Are you still stubbornly resisting?” Ji Xuan coldly stared at Ji Wentian.
Ji Wentian’s gaze was incomparably calm as he laughed, “So it turns out that you’ve already arranged everything.”
“The overall situation has already been decided. Are you still not giving up your throne?” Ji Xuan’s gaze was ice-cold as he stared at Ji Wentian.
Ji Wentian laughed, “Hahahaha…Xuan ‘er, do you know why I haven’t passed the throne to you?”
As the sound of his voice faded, Ji Xuan stared at Ji Wentian in shock.
“Why?”
Ji Wentian coughed a few times before replying, “Because, you don’t have the aura of a king on you. You…aren’t worthy of becoming the Emperor of our Eastern Imperial Kingdom.”
“If I’m not worthy, then is Ye Chen worthy? You haven’t even met him, how do you know that I’m no match for him?” Ji Xuan coldly stared at Ji Wentian as he asked.
“As long as he can come to the Imperial Kingdom, he’s worthy. This is also my test for him.” Ji Wentian calmly replied..
