Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

"This..."

Even someone as composed as Yin Tian didn't know what to say upon hearing Chi Yuxian's words.

Others might not be aware of the situation, but he knew it all too well!

The King had merely feigned death, intending to draw out the Heretic Feng Shui Masters into making a bold move, only to ensnare them all at once.

But if the King were truly refined into essence and then buried in the royal tomb, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal descending to the mortal realm could possibly bring the King back to life!

"Now stop everyone who is disobedient and insubordinate. Take them all down immediately!"

"Remember, you must ensure the King's body remains intact without the slightest mishap!"

Yin Tian quickly issued his commands.

Chi Yuxian was also slightly stunned, unclear about Yin Tian's intentions.

But ultimately, to the Chi Family, Yin Tian was still their revered Master and without any hesitation, Chi Yuxian nodded, "Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Yin Tian got out of bed, rushed out of the Yin Mansion, and drove straight towards the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

The eastern suburbs of the Imperial Capital.

It was the resting place of emperors of bygone eras.

At this moment.

Many people had already gathered there.

Whether with genuine grief or feigned sadness, all wore a mournful expression.

In front of the magnificently carved coffin.

Wen King, Martial King, and Jing King, the three brothers, were dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling before the coffin.

Each of the three brothers portrayed a sorrowful look, seemingly embodying the image of loyal and filial sons.

Since the people of the six major families of the Imperial City were quite distant, the three brothers could speak without worrying about being overheard.

"Second brother, third brother,"

Wen King stood straight, his voice steady despite the sad façade, "Once Father is entombed, the throne will be vacated."

"Then, we each show our ability."

"Elder brother is right,"

Martial King raised his hand and wiped his eyes, "By our own strength, whoever ascends to the throne must not harm the other two brothers."

"I agree,"

Jing King spoke slowly.

The three brothers were thus discussing the matters following the King's burial.

After a while, Wen King stood up and looked at the people of the six major families, "The auspicious time has arrived..."

"The King shall ascend to heaven!"

"Wait a moment!"

Without any hesitation, Chi Yuxian spoke up.

Martial King frowned at Chi Yuxian's interruption, "War God Chi, what are you implying?"

"The burial of Father is a decision made by us three brothers together. Why would you obstruct it?"

At the frontier, Chi Yuxian had been Martial King's superior.

But here, he was merely a subject.

Facing Martial King's accusatory stance, Chi Yuxian clenched his teeth and finally said with difficulty, "Patriarch Yin has not yet arrived. The King cannot be buried!"

"How audacious!"

Wen King burst out in anger, "Who is the King here, that Yin Tian or our Father?"

"If the King is to be buried today and Yin Tian fails to show up, so be it. But how dare so many people wait alongside Father's coffin for him? Does he want to be charged with the crime of deceiving and disrespecting the King before he'll be happy?"

"The Patriarch of the Yin Family once told me..."

Chi Yuxian spoke with difficulty: "To keep watch over the King's body, not to let a single scratch happen!"

"What do you mean by that!"

Martial King's voice was harsh, "Chi Yuxian, are you starting a rebellion?!"

"So..."

Chi Yuxian felt his head was empty.

Although he didn't know what Yin Tian was planning, since Yin Tian had given the order,

even if it meant death, he had to fulfill Yin Tian's command!

"So!"

Chi Yuxian's voice suddenly became firm, "Today, unless Patriarch Yin arrives, no one shall lay a hand on the King's body!"

"Heh..."

Jing King let out a cold laugh, "Second brother, is this your supporter? You haven't even succeeded the King yet, and he's already showing you disrespect."

Martial King also looked displeased.

However, Chi Yuxian was not only his mentor but also his greatest supporter.

Despite his resentment towards Chi Yuxian, he could not express it.

"Hmph!"

Wen King simply snorted coldly, "Chi Yuxian, be clear about your position!"

"How dare a mere subject meddle in the affairs of royalty?"

"Guards, burn the spirit charms of my Father so he may be laid to rest peacefully!"

Upon hearing Wen King's words, several people stepped forward, intending to lift the coffin that held the 'body' of the King.

"Guards!!"

Chi Yuxian was ready to break the pot, to smash it to pieces.

Before his words fell, elite border troops surged in from all directions.

They were specially dispatched to escort the spirit charms.

"Everyone!"

Chi Yuxian shouted loudly, "Without my command, prevent anyone from approaching the coffin!"

"Anyone who disobeys..."

"Behead!"

"Yes!"

The dozens of elite border troops all drew their swords at their waists, their presence overwhelming!

The elite border troops.

They did not recognize the King, they only recognized their commanding general!

"Chi Yuxian! You!"

The faces of the three kings turned pale with rage, "What are you doing? This is treason! Your entire family should be executed!"

"Asserting military control, do you still have the appearance of a subject?"
