It's only three years old, what kind of whitewashing system is this?

Chapter 267 Abdication

Emperor Qian grabbed his collar tightly: "Go quickly! With him here, the Great Qian can be rebuilt and revenge can be taken!"

With this one finger strike, the Great Qian Dynasty will be destroyed by eight or nine out of ten times.

The remaining people also could not escape the subsequent looting.

Protecting Su Yun and safeguarding this lucky star is more important than anything else.

He can bring about miracles; rebuilding the Great Qian Dynasty is only a matter of time.

If the Great Qian Dynasty cannot be rebuilt, that's alright.

This land has witnessed the rise and fall of countless dynasties. As long as it can be preserved and avenged for the Great Qian Dynasty, the Qian Emperor can rest in peace.

Qin Changqing's eyes reddened, but in an instant they became extremely determined.

He knelt down and kowtowed deeply: "Father, take care!"

A monarch dies for his country; anyone can escape, but Emperor Qian could not.

Just as Emperor Qian was about to open his mouth, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He gave a bitter laugh: "Such is fate..."

Destiny knows what it needs to do, so it begins to consume its life force before it even starts.

But Emperor Qian's eyes remained as firm as ever: "Even if it defies the heavens, I will do it!"

"My son and Su Yun are safe and sound... Where is Su Yun?"

He was about to issue the decree when he discovered that Su Yun had disappeared from his side.

Qin Changqing was startled, then quickly turned around, his face turning pale with shock: "Where is he?!"

So the third young lady of the Su family was watching him, but how did she disappear in the blink of an eye!

Those old women and palace maids had long since lost their minds in fear.

Thankfully, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Mo Ling's voice: "We're here!"

Qin Changqing turned his head and saw Mo Ling waving.

She also changed from her previous lively and cheerful self, and became panicked because of the falling sky.

Qin Changqing rushed over: "What are you doing here! Let's go!"

He knew that Emperor Qian was going to use the law to give Su Yun absolute protection.

Then, through the means of the imperial family, they quickly escaped from the Central Region.

Each realm is extremely vast, and the teleportation array simply cannot transport them in time.

Emperor Qian only used that precious escape method on Su Yun.

Mo Ling was young after all, and she subconsciously apologized as soon as she was told: "Baoquan, it was my fault for not watching Yun'er properly."

"Yun'er, run!"

She only showed some girlish energy when she said these words.

Qin Changqing complained somewhat, saying that his father had paid a huge price and they couldn't afford to waste it here.

He said, "Qiandu is in danger, leave with me immediately!"

Mo Ling also reached out to pull Su Yun: "Yun'er, did you hear that? Even Qian Du is in danger, let's go!"

Su Yun also reached out to pull him: "Did you hear that? Even Qian Du is in danger, let's go!"

Mo Ling was taken aback.

Qin Changqing asked instinctively, "Who are you talking to?"

Su Yun reached out and pulled at the air, but there was nothing there!

Su Yun said, "Master, come out and explain!"

"Oh dear, why are you so slow? Are these few steps really that difficult?!"

Qin Changqing was confused. Besides the royal family, who else was in Yifang Garden?

Who can be right in front of you and yet remain completely undetected?

"Oh dear!" Just then, a kind, aged voice rang out, "Young friend, only you can easily pass through the Path of Inquiry."

"We old bones don't have that ability; we have to go around in circles to get here!"

Su Yun stuck out her tongue: "Didn't you create the 'Path of Inquiry'?"

Qin Changqing's ears perked up, and his eyes widened immediately: "Could it be..."

An old monk with a halo of Buddha's light emanating from the back of his head emerged from the void, giving a bitter laugh: "Once the 'Questioning the Heart' was completed, it had nothing to do with me anymore. This old monk was just lucky."

Upon hearing the voice, Mo Ling was overjoyed: "You were speaking in my ear just now!"

"It was you who lent me your sword!"

The old monk smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Miss Su San. This old monk is very polite."

Did you borrow a sword?

Qin Changqing was shocked. The sword strike that Mo Ling had just unleashed was actually related to him!

If that's the case, then everything makes sense!

Only he possesses such power!

Qin Changqing was so excited that he exclaimed, "Hong—!"

Emperor Qian staggered, nearly losing his balance and falling, his eyes widening in shock: "Master Hongjue!"

Master Hongjue turned his head and said, "Oh, it's you, kid. You've grown so much."

Emperor Qian stared in disbelief: "Master Hongjue, you...you were able to come out? How did you get out!"

He knew more than others. Master Hongjue had been on his deathbed for many years, and after creating the "Path of Inquiry into the Heart," he had become a dead man.

It was only through their formidable strength, having fought their way out of the Western Regions, that they were able to stand guard on the Path of Inquiry and nurture a new king for the Great Qian Dynasty.

The environment of Wenxin Road is unique; it has become a small world of its own, forming its own distinct entity.

Emperor Qian never imagined that Master Hongjue would actually be able to go out into the world!

Master Hongjue said, "Come out... and ask if you want to abdicate?"

Emperor Qian was taken aback: "Huh?"

Master Hongjue pointed at Su Yun: "He has completed the Path of Self-Examination, and his future achievements are destined to surpass yours."

"Why don't you step down and give the throne to him?"

After completing the Path of Inquiry, Su Yun easily returned to Yifang Garden.

These old folks had to go through a lot of trouble to finally find their way out.

You ask why we don't enter and exit through the entrance?

Master Hongjue still had his pride; even if it meant taking a longer route, influenced by the Path of Inquiry into the Mind, he refused to enter or exit through the most convenient place.

In the end, he still couldn't escape. If Su Yun hadn't called out to him, he could have stayed in there a little longer.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qian was stunned: "What? The Path of Inquiry? Complete it?"

"You mean...the end!"

Granny Huang and Granny Li suddenly raised their heads: "What?!"

They knew best the dangers of the Path of Inquiry, and it was precisely because of this that the Empress Dowager was filled with regret and tried every means to get Su Yun out of trouble.

But who is Master Hongjue? He might not give the Great Qian imperial family any face.

Asking about one's heart's path isn't something you can just open up whenever you want; getting it out depends on fate.

When Su Yun walked out on his own, the Empress Dowager thought it was a blessing brought about by the consumption of his life force.

Unexpectedly, he had already completed the Path of Inquiry, and that small space could no longer confine him!

Emperor Qian was also filled with excitement, his composed expression breaking: "Finish it!"

When he entered as a young man, he only took seven steps.

Those seven steps felt like seventy years had passed; the time spent in the illusion was longer than their actual age.

Afterwards, Emperor Qian rested for half a year before he could recover and finally confirmed that he had returned to reality.

And Su Yun... actually finished the journey?

"Heh." Emperor Qian chuckled, then suddenly felt a pang of regret.

Su Yunlian, one of the three Great Sages, could create such a thing, so it was perfectly normal for him to complete the Path of Inquiry.

Emperor Qian thought it normal that he was able to escape.

He was able to complete the Path of Inquiry, and he felt it was perfectly normal!

Emperor Qian turned his head: "How many steps did you take?"

Crown Prince Qin Changqing was also still in shock, but quickly came to his senses: "I... Seven Steps!"

He had also entered the Path of Inquiry, so he naturally knew the dangers involved.

Emperor Qian said calmly, "Very well, then you shall relinquish your position as Crown Prince to little Su Yun!"

Qin Changqing: "???"
