Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!

Chapter 387: The Confident Soul Emperor_1



Seeing Hua Tuo recovering, Qin Wudao, holding two Emperor Pills, walked into the hall to feed the comatose Sun Simiao and Zhang Zhongjing. Ministers like Zhuge Liang and Yue Fei were astonished and immensely grateful to see Qin Wudao generously using Emperor Pills.

The relationship between emperors and their subjects had always been complicated since ancient times. It's like the old saying: "Once the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dogs are cooked." Many subjects who had shared life and death with their emperor in times of crisis were later unjustly killed or forced to live in constant fear after achieving great success, all due to the emperor's suspicion. Many other emperors merely treated their subjects as tools, never showing them genuine sincerity.

An emperor like Qin Wudao was indeed rare—extremely rare!

They felt incredibly fortunate to have met such a benevolent emperor.

The Emperor Pill's effect was very strong. In just over an hour, Hua Tuo awoke. He had not only recovered to his peak state but had also broken through to the late stage of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

"Your servant gratefully thanks Your Majesty!" Hua Tuo knelt, overwhelmed with gratitude.

"Please rise," Qin Wudao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Lord Guo's and Lord Yuan's Great Dao Curses have been completely dispelled. They will awaken by noon tomorrow, once the effects of the Powder for Anesthesia wear off," Hua Tuo stood up and reported with a bow, a faint smile touching his lips as he thought of dispelling the Great Dao Curse.

He felt his medical skills had risen another level!

"Excellent!" Upon hearing this, the last trace of worry in Qin Wudao's heart vanished.

In the next few minutes, Sun Simiao and Zhang Zhongjing awoke one after the other. Like Hua Tuo, both were extremely grateful.

Qin Wudao stayed in the Imperial Physician's Institute for a while before leaving with his ministers. They still had many matters to handle, including mitigating the impact of the battle between Qin Wudao and the Great Dao.

At noon the next day, Guo Jia and Yuan Tiangang awoke as expected. They sat up in their sickbeds and exchanged smiles.

"It feels great to have another chance at life!" Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.

He wasn't afraid of death, but that didn't mean he wanted to die. He still wished to live for countless more years, to accompany the Qin Dynasty for innumerable ages.

"Indeed!" Guo Jia stretched lazily, his face full of smiles.

"You're awake?" The three Imperial Physicians—Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao, and Zhang Zhongjing—walked in, not looking surprised.

"Thank you, Imperial Physicians!" Guo Jia and Yuan Tiangang stood up, bowing deeply in gratitude. The Powder for Anesthesia had only numbed their senses without inducing unconsciousness, so they were fully aware of how perilous the treatment had been. Moreover, they knew the three Imperial Physicians had performed a Forbidden Technique, for which they were profoundly grateful.

A life-saving grace, too great to ever repay!

"Don't thank us. If you want to thank anyone, thank His Majesty. He fought the Great Dao for the sake of you two!" Hua Tuo waved his hand with a smile, not accepting their bow.

"What?" Guo Jia and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other, utterly stunned. His Majesty fought the Great Dao? For us?

"Imperial Physician, we will go find His Majesty now and visit you later when we have time," Guo Jia said respectfully.

"Go on, then! And don't come back here unless you have to!" Hua Tuo waved them off with a smile. Guo Jia and Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but smile faintly; indeed, the Imperial Physician's Institute was a place for treating illnesses, best avoided if possible.

「Middle Region!」

Inside a mysterious valley, the Emperor of Souls was arranging his next deployment when he suddenly felt an overwhelming power descend. He hastily knelt and said, "Greetings, Master!"

The Void cracked open amidst thunderous roars, and a unique Spiritual Body stepped out, wreathed in the faint power of the Great Dao.

"Eliminate the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty immediately!" the Spiritual Body said, its voice flat, yet it was not difficult to discern the endless anger simmering beneath.

The Emperor of Souls was stunned. Why does Master want to annihilate the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty? Is it because of the incident at Bull Head Mountain?

"Understood! Rest assured, Master, I have already activated the hidden operatives. I estimate the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty will be obliterated within a few days!" Although bewildered, the Emperor of Souls dared not question and replied with utmost respect.

"Furthermore, the Dao Seal in Qin Wudao's possession—you must retrieve it for me!" the Spiritual Body continued, its voice laced with fury. When Qin Wudao's name was mentioned, its tone became utterly cold, and a frigid light flashed in its eyes.

"Understood!" The Emperor of Souls' heart shuddered, and he hastily responded.

Having received this promise, the Spiritual Body stepped into the spatial rift and vanished, leaving only a faint trace of the Great Dao's power drifting in the Void.

What on earth happened to make Master so furious? The Emperor of Souls stood up, drenched in sweat as if he'd just been pulled from water.

"Summon Elder Soul Bone!" Sitting back on his throne, the Emperor of Souls ordered gravely. He needed to find out what had happened.

"No need to summon me, Pavilion Master! I have urgent matters to report!" Before the guard in the shadows could speak, Elder Soul Bone had already strode into the main hall. He reported with a grave expression, "Pavilion Master, yesterday in the East Border, two immense powers emerged, shattering space-time and fate! One of these powers bears a resemblance to the Master's aura!"

"What did you say?" This news was so shocking that the Emperor of Souls shot to his feet. "And the other power?" he asked hastily.

"I am unsure." Elder Soul Bone shook his head. "Those two powers are too formidable. They tore through space-time and shattered fate, making investigation impossible. However, to be able to clash with the Master, they must be extraordinary!"

The Emperor of Souls' brow furrowed deeply. An existence capable of fighting the Master? What could it be? He knew very well who the Master was—the Master was...

"Actually, the site of yesterday's battle was the Imperial Capital of the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty. Should we instruct our hidden operatives to lie low for the time being?" Elder Soul Bone asked in a solemn tone, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes.

"No need! The Master just came and ordered us to eliminate the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty!" The Emperor of Souls shook his head. He deduced that the Master's order was likely related to yesterday's great battle. Therefore, the plan against the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty could not be halted; in fact, it needed to be reinforced.

The hidden operatives in the East Border were deployed in the previous era. They were more than sufficient to deal with an East Border dominated solely by the Kylin Sacred Land. However, with the rise of the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty and the subsequent multipolarization of power in the East Border, the strength of our hidden operatives has become somewhat insufficient.

"Dispatch Elder Soul Annihilation to lead a team to the East Border. Mobilize the hidden operatives there to destroy the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty and retrieve the Dao Seal!" In the dim hall, the Emperor of Souls issued a commanding order.

"Yes, sir!" A voice responded from outside the main hall. An Emperor Realm guard then tore open the Void and departed to deliver the command.

Elder Soul Bone's body trembled. Even Elder Soul Annihilation was being mobilized! He was the second strongest expert in the Eternal Temple and hadn't taken action for several eras. He had even remained within the temple during the great battle at Bull Head Mountain.

It seemed that after this battle, the Saint's Court of the Qin Dynasty was doomed!

Under the setting sun, a thin, tall figure appeared at the entrance of the Imperial Capital.

His appearance immediately drew the attention of the patrolling soldiers, for he was a blind old man leaning on a staff, so frail he looked as if a gust of wind could knock him over.

"Elder, please be careful. Where is your home? Shall I have someone escort you?" a captain approached and asked politely.

The soldiers guarding the gates of the Imperial Capital were all 'Old Qin' citizens. Their primary duty was to maintain order and resolve any troubles. Not being part of the main combat legions, they possessed less of a murderous aura and more of an amiable disposition.

The old blind man was taken aback. In his life, he had wandered the world, passing through tens of thousands of cities—from the ancient capitals of Saint's Courts to the ancestral lands of foreign races. Yet, he had never been treated with such courtesy. In many cities, guards had deliberately mocked him for his blindness.

The old blind man was blind in sight, but not in heart.

The conduct of these Qin soldiers warmed his heart.

Truly worthy of being the Imperial City where the Ziwei Star resides! the old blind man mused. Then, smiling, he said, "Young friend, I am a successor of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, here to seek an audience with His Majesty of the Qin Dynasty."

The captain was stunned. This was not a matter he could decide, and an awkward expression appeared on his face.

"I will report this to the General. Please wait a moment," the captain said.
