After obtaining the treasure map, the situation for Lu Xingjiang became even more unsafe. All the sects and factions united and wanted him to hand over the treasure map.
Even more surprisingly, he discovered that among the people coming to kill him were also the palace’s secret guards!
In this ruthless battle, in order to save Lu Xingjiang, everyone in the Huiyun Gang died.
The daughter of the Beggar Sect’s leader, Cao Cao, died.
Everyone in the Beggar Sect died.
The master of Yinghua Palace, Lu Qian, died.
Everyone in Yinghua Palace died.
The Four Beauties of the Martial World were also injured.
But finally, the ultimate victory belonged to Lu Xingjiang.
Thinking about those who died for him, watching the Female Leader of the Divine Physician Sect tirelessly healing his injuries day and night, and the Poison Queen Jin Qi personally gathering medicinal herbs for him… every one of his women was constantly sacrificing for him.
With the treasure map in hand, Lu Xingjiang made a firm decision. He must become stronger, ascend to the Dragon Throne1, and let each of his women live a stable and happy life!
In the following years, Lu Xingjiang and his harem quietly excavated the treasures hidden in the map, secretly using this wealth to recruit soldiers, train talents, and gradually grow stronger.
After returning to the palace, Lu Xingjiang discovered that the master behind the three men in black was none other than the current Emperor, his own father!
Realizing that the men in black dared to kill him on his father’s orders, and recalling how the palace guards had relentlessly pursued him in the past, Lu Xingjiang devised a plan to force the emperor to abdicate.
He secretly deployed all his troops into the Imperial City, pressuring the old Emperor to step down. Lu Xingjiang finally succeeded in ascending the throne and ruling the world with his beautiful harem!
After reading it repeatedly, Lu Lili still furrowed her brows and expressed dissatisfaction with the original plot preserved by the system.
Finally, she asked her question, “System, why don’t those three skilled individuals who obtained the treasure map and were strong enough to harm the male lead deserve to have names?”
The system took a few seconds before responding : [Because they are just pawns in the hands of the antagonists, mere extras who don’t deserve names.]
Knowing that the main antagonist here is the current Emperor, Lu Lili showed a trace of regret. “But I think if I knew who those three were, it would be much easier to deal with them.”
[…] Unfortunately, there are no ‘ifs.’
Of course, as the system, it actually knows, but it won’t say.
It hopes that its host will rely on her own abilities to successfully complete each task, rather than relying on the system to cheat.
“System, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Lu Lili found the sudden silence of the system somewhat strange.
This made her feel as if the system had subtly concealed a part of the original plot from her.
Although upon careful consideration, she felt it was unlikely.
After all, the system could be considered a person who was tied to the same boat as her, and it had no reason to hide anything from its partner.
The system broke its silence this time and quickly offered a suggestion: [Host, perhaps you can start by targeting the antagonist?]
Lu Lili immediately shook her head and dismissed this unreliable suggestion. “No way, if I return to the palace, I’ll definitely be in danger!”
Calculating the time, the original owner should have already been engaged or married by now, but currently she was still wandering in the martial world.
Lu Lili thought that after such a long time, her father, the Emperor, must have discovered her unauthorized departure from the palace.
As for why he hadn’t sent anyone to capture her and bring her back, she had no idea.
Anyway, she could wait until her male lead brother became the Emperor before returning. That way, her safety would be ensured!
Of course, the condition was that she wouldn’t die in the battle for the treasure map…
- become the Emperor ↩︎
