Chapter 40

Ji Cangshan, as the Crown Prince, could speak to him so boldly, but for these ministers to do the same, Chen Chang'an directly executed them!

He didn't want to waste words with them!

Seeing that only a few people remained in the grand hall, Chen Chang'an spoke calmly, "Alright, now we can treat the ruler's illness."

"Good, good, good, Nephew Chang'an, show me quickly!"

Ji Wentian was overjoyed.

"Chen Chang'an, can you really save the ruler?" Ji's old ancestor also spoke, his voice calm, though there was a hint of doubt, but no contempt.

After all, Chen Chang'an had killed the Crown Prince and the ministers in front of the emperor...

If he didn't have real talent or a powerful family, it would have been a suicidal act.

And now, the more arrogant Chen Chang'an was, the more it proved that he had the strength, or his family had the strength!

Chen Chang'an had read the jade slip given to him by Chen Wu, and after some thought, he said, "My cultivation is not yet at the Holy Emperor realm, but... I believe you, the old ancestor of the Ji family, have already reached the Holy Emperor realm, right?"

Ji's old ancestor, Ji Xuangu, narrowed his eyes at Chen Chang'an's words, "Heh, young man, how did you know?"

Chen Chang'an didn't answer him but continued, "The ruler is entangled by a powerful dark spiritual energy, causing him to suffer excruciating pain every day!"

"Moreover, that dark spiritual energy is like a silk thread, layer upon layer, entangling his heart!"

"If it is forcibly removed, it will inevitably damage his heart... leaving him either dead or crippled!"

Hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Ji Xuangu frowned, "What you say, I am well aware of. But I don't know how to remove the dark spiritual energy from his heart and heart meridians?"

Chen Chang'an looked at him, "Open his heart, cut his heart meridians, use the power of the Holy Emperor as a guide, and install a piece of Dark Night Stone next to his heart, then draw the dark spiritual energy into the Dark Night Stone!"

"Later, find a Holy Emperor to use their power to remove the Dark Night Stone from his heart!"

"This is not a forced removal, but rather to first draw the dark spiritual energy from his heart into the Dark Night Stone, and then remove it later!"

Chen Chang'an spoke calmly, but to Ji Xuangu, Ji Wentian, and Duanmu Cang, it was undoubtedly a fairy tale!

Opening the heart, cutting the meridians, installing a Dark Night Stone to attract... such a bizarre method was simply inconceivable!

Moreover, how would the heart meridians be repaired after being cut?

"As long as you can complete the first step, the subsequent heart repair will not be a problem," Chen Chang'an seemed to know their thoughts and took out a white jade slip, "This contains the method for repairing heart meridians from my Fifth Uncle."

"What... what?"

Ji Mingyue in the hall was confused, but to Ji Wentian, Ji Xuangu, and Duanmu Cang, it was undoubtedly a thunderclap, their minds buzzing.

They looked at the jade slip in Chen Chang'an's hand, breathing rapidly.

A method to repair heart meridians was absolutely heaven-defying!

Indeed!

Chen's Fifth Uncle was not simple!

"Good, good, good!" Ji Wentian said three "goods" in a row, looking at Ji Xuangu, "Old Ancestor, let's try it, open my heart meridians!"

This was a matter of life and death, and he naturally didn't want to endure any more pain.

Moreover, the Dark Night Stone was something he had in the palace.

It was a stone that stored dark spiritual energy!

Ji Xuangu nodded and looked at Duanmu Cang.

Duanmu Cang immediately began to prepare.

But just then, Chen Chang'an continued, "Don't rush, the conditions haven't been stated yet."

Ji Wentian immediately looked at Chen Chang'an, "Nephew Chang'an, whatever your request, just say it!"

Ji Xuangu also looked at Chen Chang'an in surprise.

Facing the ruler, he was not intimidated by the slightest bit of the ruler's authority, but instead maintained a domineering demeanor!

If it were someone else, they would probably have offered free treatment to cover up the crime of killing the Crown Prince.

"The method I mentioned earlier and the secret formula for repairing heart meridians in this jade slip are worth 20 million spirit stones, I think."

"Besides, there is one additional condition."

Chen Chang'an turned to Ji Mingyue with a half-smile, "Since your Crown Prince is dead, appoint Mingyue as the Crown Princess, yes, Crown Princess."

"Are these two conditions acceptable?"

Chen Chang'an's words left Ji Wentian stunned.

Even Duanmu Cang, who had returned, was stunned.

His method for repairing heart meridians, though expensive at 20 million spirit stones, was indeed worth it!

The royal family could scrape together the funds.

But they didn't expect Chen Chang'an to directly demand that Ji Mingyue replace the Crown Prince's position!

If it were in the past, Ji Wentian would definitely refuse.

But now, he wanted to bind the Chen family, and he was very willing.

After all, only Ji Mingyue was close to Chen Chang'an.

"Brother Chang'an... I..." Ji Mingyue was stunned, somewhat at a loss.

"I... agree. In the future, Mingyue will still be the Empress of our Great Zhou," Ji Wentian immediately said, seemingly eager.

Lest Chen Chang'an change his mind.

"Very well."

Chen Chang'an nodded and handed the jade slip to Ji Xuangu.

He wasn't afraid that they wouldn't give him the 20 million spirit stones.

Moreover, he wanted Ji Mingyue to be the ruler of Great Zhou, which would save him a lot of trouble in the future.

After all, with Ji Mingyue's character, she wouldn't cause trouble for the Chen family.

With Ji Mingyue controlling Great Zhou, it would be as if he controlled Great Zhou himself, given her reliance on him.

Thus, when he left Dongzhou, he could venture out with peace of mind.

Subsequently, Chen Chang'an, Ji Xuangu, and Duanmu Cang operated on Ji Wentian's heart together.

Soon, a powerful aura mixed with screams echoed from the grand hall of the palace.

Then, a weak but cheerful laugh followed, indicating that Ji Wentian felt much lighter.

....

Although today's events were under a strict order from Ji Wentian not to be disclosed,

the public was told that the Crown Prince had suddenly died, and Ji Mingyue was appointed as the Crown Princess!

This news, like a tidal wave, stirred up a storm in the capital, leaving countless people in shock!

The sudden death of the Crown Prince and the immediate appointment of a princess as the Crown Princess caused a huge uproar in the capital.

Countless people were stunned.

After all, it was too abrupt!

But many powerful families and top-tier experts sensed something unusual.

Through various investigations, they seemed to realize that Chen Chang'an was behind all this!

Thus, countless people were greatly shaken, instructing their families not to provoke the Chen family, as the Chen family was not to be provoked!

After obtaining 20 million spirit stones, Chen Chang'an, besides giving some to his family, began to close himself off for cultivation for the next half month.

....

"Coffin Lord, whether I can break through to the Heavenly King realm depends on you!"

In the Chen family's cultivation room, Chen Chang'an looked at the floating Burial God Coffin, his eyes burning with determination.

Ninth level of the Heavenly Martial realm....

"Whether the tens of millions of spirit stones are enough to advance to the Heavenly King realm!"

Chen Chang'an muttered, and with a wave of his hand, the spirit stones from the spatial rings flowed into the Burial God Coffin like a stream.
