My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"What did you say?!"

The legitimate Emperor Cao Huan's pupils trembled violently as he lifted his robe and strode forward: "Has the Guiyuan Sect gone mad, killing Fang Qingyun for no reason? Do they not know that Fang is Chen Sansi's senior brother?!"

"I have no idea, Your Majesty!"

Minister of War Ming Qingfeng said in a trembling voice: "It's being rumored outside that the court is wary of Beiliang's holding too much military power and wants to eliminate them after they've served their purpose!"

"After Fang Qingyun's death, Chen Sansi directly led troops south from Ba County, heading straight for the Capital Chang'an!"

"This, this has nothing to do with me!"

Cao Huan said bewilderedly: "Have you explained? It was all done by the Guiyuan Sect and has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"Your Majesty, you are confused!"

Shangguan Haichang said, "Chen knows perfectly well; he is taking advantage of this situation, deliberately using his senior brother's life to justify his actions. What a venomous heart!"

"Why, why! Have I not given him enough? I even entrusted him with the Imperial Jade Seal! Why does it have to be like this, why!!!"

The legitimate Emperor Cao Huan said incoherently, "Where have they reached now?!"

Ming Qingfeng replied, "In at most another half a month, they'll reach Chang'an. The route is all plains with no major cities to block them."

In fact.

They all knew.

Who could stop the White Robe?

"Quick!"

Cao Huan's hands trembled: "Go invite the Immortal Masters of the Guiyuan Sect for consultation, set up an array, yes, have Elder Huang set up a Second-Tier Array in the capital, then seek aid from the Sky Water Continent!"

"Your Majesty!"

Shangguan Haichang interrupted: "The Immortal Masters of Guiyuan Sect fled overnight yesterday!"

"All of them left?!"

Cao Huan tightly gripped his arm: "What about my twelfth brother?!"

"Prince Yan, is... is also missing!"

"Woe unto me!!!"

Upon hearing this, the legitimate Emperor Cao Huan cried out mournfully and then fell straight back in a faint.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"..."

The ministers hastily came forward to assist.

That afternoon.

Inside the Taiji Palace, the legitimate Emperor Cao Huan and civil and military officials gathered within, making their last stand.

"Your Majesty!"

"The Chen-named rogue is heading south with unstoppable force, all cities along the way are opening their gates in surrender, even if occasional resistance occurs, it doesn't last more than half a day!"

"Chen the Hunter is still ten days away from Chang'an!"

"Your Majesty, Chen Sansi will reach the capital in three days!"

"The Beiliang King is fifty li away from the city gates!"

"Your Majesty, open the gates and surrender! If we put up a futile resistance and anger the Beiliang King, it will be bad for all of us!"

"..."

On the Dragon Chair.

The legitimate Emperor Cao Huan was heartbroken.

Outside the city gates of Chang'an.

A white robe sat on a White Horse, standing tall before the gates under the setting sun.

Behind him was a tide-like black Beiliang Iron Cavalry, a red flag with the "Chen" character billowing in the wind.

Above the city walls, none of the defending soldiers dared shoot an arrow.

"Boom——"

The city gate opened wide.

The legitimate Emperor Cao Huan, dressed in a bright yellow Dragon Robe, walked forward shakily with the support of two eunuchs, followed by numerous officials, both civil and military.

Except for the Emperor, all civil and military officials kneeled down uniformly.

"We ministers greet the Beiliang King!"

"We welcome the Beiliang King into the capital!"

"..."

Chen Sansi did not speak or make any movement, simply sitting on horseback, quietly looking down at Cao's sixth son, the last Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Cao's sixth son wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, struggling internally before his lips trembled and he spoke: "I am physically weak and aging, incompetent and lacking in talent, unable to benefit the world or have virtues for the people, truly low in virtue and thin in grace, unable to bear the title of 'Heavenly Son.'

"In contrast, my virtuous brother has both talent and virtue, has fought north and south for years, winning every battle, supporting the great house when it was about to collapse, bringing back relief when the situation seemed in peril, upholding the world, saving the people, truly with the support of all.

"Now, as the situation stabilizes, the realm unsettled, it requires my virtuous brother to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting all people in the Eastern Continent.

"Therefore, I plan to step down from my position, abdicate, abdicate to my virtuous brother!"

As he spoke, the eunuch beside him presented the Dragon Crown, Commander's Seal, and other items one by one.

"Why does Your Majesty say such things?"

Chen Sansi finally spoke: "Today, Chen enters Chang'an only to seek justice for Beiliang, not with rebellion in mind."

"No..."

Cao Huan said: "The Great Sheng Dynasty has run its course; only my virtuous brother can take the position..."

"Enter the city first."

Chen Sansi said softly, "No need to rush discussing these matters."

If Xu Wencai and their predictions are true, if they want to convert the people's Mystical Energy into national fortune quickly and effectively, they need an abdication ceremony to announce it to the world.

Additionally, ascending to the position, the enthronement ceremony, and so forth all require a long time to prepare, none of which can be done overnight.

Now that the Guiyuan Sect has fled, and there are no threats left within the Eastern Continent, there is no need to hurry.

"Enter the city!"

The Order Officer shouted loudly.

Eighty thousand Beiliang Army troops occupied the capital.

Chen Sansi, along with his family, temporarily stayed at the Champion Marquis Mansion specially prepared for him beforehand.

Starting in July.

Every time he attended court, the legitimate Emperor would bring up the matter of abdication, each time with increasing fervor, until the end of August, after three refusals and three offers, the abdication was finally formally settled.

In early September, Cao Huan officially left the Imperial Palace, moving with his family to a Duke's Mansion within the capital.

From then.

The people of Beiliang began preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

Everything was about to be ready.

The remaining Dragon Origin Sword Qi within Chen Sansi's body was completely removed, allowing him to properly account for the many gains and cultivation achievements of the past two years.
