Chapter 146

After pacifying Song Zhong Ming, Song Zi Heng still had one more thing to do – to prepare for the moving of Song Ming He’s grave.

More than once in his rage, Song Zi Xiao threatened to dig out Song Ming He and Shen Shi Yao and turn their bones into ashes. No matter how much he hated Song Ming He, he was his father after all. The dead had already died. Even for the sake of Song Clan’s dignity, he still had to maintain the dignity of the late emperor. Besides, he did not want Song Zi Xiao to commit any more sins.

This matter must be done in secret, and not a word must get out. After Song Zi Xiao leaves for Fenglin continent, he will ask Xu Zhi Nan to help him.

Xu Zhi Nan was still in the palace. When Song Zi Heng was about to find him to discuss this matter, he ran into Li Bu Yu halfway.

“Emperor.” Li Bu Yu looked surprised to see him, but after noticing Song Zi Heng’s red eyes, he frowned slightly, “What’s wrong, Emperor?”

Song Zi Heng couldn’t hide it in time, so he had to say, “The wind is strong and it’s confusing my eyes.”

Li Bu Yu’s gaze darkened, “It’s not Song Zi Xiao making things difficult for emperor again?”

Such concern only made Song Zi Heng felt embarrassed. He coughed lightly, “Have you seen Xu Zhi Nan? I have something to discuss with him.”

He could not summon Xu Zhi Nan or Li Bu Yu alone. He had to get permission from Song Zi Xiao. Because today is a ritual day, many people have many things to do in the palace, so he was able to take the opportunity to go and find Xu Zhi Nan.

“I saw him not long ago, but now I don’t know where he went. If the emperor has anything, I can pass it on for him.”

Song Zi Heng was also worried that he would not be able to find Xu Zhi Nan: “That’s alright too. You can tell Xu Zhi Nan that Song Zi Xiao will soon depart for Fenglin Continent, and after Song Zi Xiao leaves, have him come and see me in the palace immediately.”

“Yes.” Li Bu Yu gazed at Song Zi Heng, his heart tingling with pain, “Emperor, I know you have many compulsions. Don’t worry, we will save you from your suffering as soon as possible.”

Song Zi Heng’s heart was startled, “Do you guys have a plan?”

“Immortal Emperor Xu and I have already secretly lobbied many immortal sects. The immortal cultivation world will definitely unite. It won’t take long.”

“There is one more thing that I need you to do for me.” Song Zi Heng sighed heavily. Outsiders shouldn’t be involved in this matter, but he did not dare to leave Wuji Palace without permission. If Song Zi Xiao found out, he did not know what kind of censure he would receive.

“Please speak, Emperor.”

“Bu Yu, when you return to Mount Shu, move my mother’s grave to another place.”

Li Bu Yu was surprised.

” Caution

is necessary for this matter. Do not let anyone know.”

“Why?”

“I am worried that … Song Zi Xiao will treat her with disrespect.”

Li Bu Yu arched his hand, “I understand. I will do it when I return. Then, where should it be moved to?”

“Zhangyang. That is my mother’s hometown. You go and ask around in the local area about the location of Shen family’s ancestral graves. The older people should know about it.”

“Yes.” Li Bu Yu looked unblinkingly at Song Zi Heng’s handsome face and said eagerly, “Bu Yu is willing to serve the emperor loyally. If it is inconvenient for the emperor to do so, just tell me what to do.”

Song Zi Heng said warmly, “You have already helped me a lot. Bu Yu, thank you.” What happened at Mount Shu back then was a nightmare that he would never wake up from. If it wasn’t for Li Bu Yu helping him to clean up the mess and pleading for him, he would never have been able to get out of it. In his heart, he was very grateful to Li Bu Yu, who had always treated him with respect from his early youth to his youth. However, he was also instinctively repulsed by the fact that this man had witnessed the darkest side of him. In fact, it was not that he did not want to face Li Bu Yu, is he did not dare to face the past.

Li Bu Yu smiled and said, “It is fortunate that I can share the Emperor’s worries.”

During the day, Emperor Kong Hua was busy all day with the ancestral rituals, and at night, Emperor Kong Hua was being ruthlessly violated in his own imperial bed.

The ritual robe and crown, which were worn with the assistance of three palace people, were so complicated that Song Zi Xiao couldn’t even take them off for a long time. He completely lost his patience, and he simply lift up his clothes, tore off his underpants and thrust in violently.

Song Zi Heng was done until his whole body became weak. His two long legs hanging helplessly from the Demon Supreme’s arms as he endured the wild torment, while whimpering and trembling uncontrollably at the same time.

The coronet, a symbol of the 9 and 5 reign supreme, was thrown to the ground, and Song Zi Heng’s long, black and shiny hair was scattered like splashed ink, glistening as his body moved. His disheveled clothes hid half of his pale flesh, which was flushed with heat.

The candlelight from the five-stemmed lotus lamp above his head danced brightly, while Song Zi Heng’s vision gradually went out of focus, but in that blur, the face of the man pressing against him and demanding crazily remained clear, as if to see this man clearly, he did not need eyes but only the heart. His nostrils were filled with the stench of stale wine, orchid scent and lust, and he was almost drowning in it.

Song Zi Xiao finally released deep within him, wrapping his arms tightly around him from behind and refusing to withdraw.

“You, you get out.” Song Zi Heng slowed came back to his senses and pushed against Song Zi Xiao’s arm in embarrassment.

“I don’t want.” Song Zi Xiao kissed his sweaty neck and laughed lowly, “I wish I could stay in there for the rest of my life.”

“Bastard …”

“Big brother.” Song Zi Xiao said softly, “I’m going to Kunlun tomorrow. Say, do you think I should take you with me?”

Song Zi Heng’s heart jumped, but he didn’t dare let Song Zi Xiao see how flustered he was.

“If I take you there, Wuji Palace will be empty, and it’s not appropriate, but I don’t bring you along, what should I do if I miss you?” Song Zi Xiao stroked his big brother’s tight waist and belly and smiled lazily, “Without you, it will be hard to sleep alone.”

“Didn’t you say that you would be back soon?” The tone of Song Zi Heng’s voice was flat and unmoving.

“Mm, I won’t waste too much time on her. If she won’t give the ice crystal, I can take it myself.

“Do you really think that with the ice crystal, you can refine the core you want?”

Song Zi Xiao narrowed his eyes, “If the ice crystal doesn’t even work, then I can only …”

“Only what?” Song Zi Heng did not turn around. He did not dare to look into Song Zi Xiao’s eyes at this moment.

Song Zi Xiao kissed his big brother’s shoulder, “If I say that I have never taken a human core, would you believe me?”

“…”

“It’s true that I slaughtered the Wuyun Sect and dug up the golden cores of all the Wuyun Sect cultivators, but I have never eaten a single human core.” Song Zi Xiao said slowly, “I don’t really care what the world thinks of me, but I want you to know.”

“Why?”

“I am highly gifted and have always looked down on the demonic cultivators who steal cores, not to mention that the first time I left the palace, both of us almost died at the hands of the core thieves, so I have always had a deep hatred for them.” Song Zi Xiao laughed coldly, “Before he died, Lu Zhao Feng dug out his own core and gave it to me with his own hands. He thought that he can make up to the sins he committed? I wouldn’t let him atone for his sins. I trampled that Core with my own feet in front of his face.”

Song Zi Heng felt a shiver run down his spine, both at what Song Zi Xiao said and the deeper meaning behind those words. He said, “Why are you telling me now?”

“It just suddenly came to me. Big brother, do you believe me?”

Song Zi Heng was silent for a long time and said, “I believe you.” He believed that even if Song Zi Xiao did not take the Human Core, he should still have the cultivation level he had today.

This time it was Song Zi Xiao’s turn to be silent. He spoke again, but said something that creeped out Song Zi Heng: “Big brother, do you know that taking the Core can actually be done without hurting people’s lives?”

“What do you mean?” Song Zi Heng’s voice trembled a little.

“In the past, people who had their cores stolen had died. Most of them were silenced or seriously injured and bled to death. If the technique was done properly and the treatment was timely, the person would not actually die.”

“What are you saying this for?”

Song Zi Xiao felt the mood swings of the person in his arms, and a guess suddenly came to his mind. Could it be, that Song Zi Heng actually knew about the Absolute Human Emperor as well?

This suspicion made his heart jumped.

Song Zi Xiao hugged his big brother even tighter. The two of them so close to each other, yet a thousand gulfs seemed to separate them.

“Let’s sleep.” Song Zi Xiao said softly.

Song Zi Heng’s eyes were wide open and redness filled his eyes.

—

Song Zi Xiao had left early in the morning, and as soon as he left, Xu Zhi Nan came to the palace.

Song Zi Heng first asked about Qi Meng Sheng: “You went to persuade her, but it didn’t work in the slightest? It’s not time to get tough with Song Zi Xiao yet.”

Xu Zhi Nan said, “Don’t worry, emperor. Meng Sheng is stubborn but not stupid. She said she wanted to test Song Zi Xiao’s capabilities and she would know when to stop.”

Song Zi Heng frowned, “Song Zi Xiao once broke the Chunyang Sect’s Vajra Formation solely using The Eighteen Horsemen of Yan Yun, and had also beaten Wuliang Sect into submission, what else does she want to try?”

Xu Zhi Nan was slightly embarrassed as he said, “She has never fought against Song Zi Xiao, so she wasn’t convinced. Song Zi Xiao still needs her and will not kill her for the time being. She has already made up her mind, so let her deal with it herself.”

Song Zi Heng shook his head.

“What is the reason for the emperor summoning me to the palace?”

That night, the two of them went to the Song Clan’s cemetery, where Song Zi Heng unsealed the spell and found Song Ming He’s tomb.

They each manipulated a dozen puppet talismans, causing a group of guards from the Wuji Palace to dig the tomb in complete unconsciousness.

At dawn, Song Ming He’s coffin was finally dug out. Song Zi Heng intended to hide him in the back of the mountain, and then replace Song Ming He with a corpse that had been prepared long ago.

Song Zi Heng was really uncomfortable in his heart, so he could only have Xu Zhi Nan open the coffin and replace the corpse.

“Hmm?” Xu Zhi Nan suddenly made a puzzled sound.

“What’s wrong?” Song Zi Heng’s heart tightened.

“This …” Xu Zhi Nan said, “Emperor, you’d better come and take a look.”

Song Zi Heng, who was originally standing far away, had no choice but to walk over. He looked at the white bones wrapped in brocade and fancy clothes and felt nothing but chills all over his body.

“Emperor, look at the bones of his hands.” Xu Zhi Nan lifted the corpse’s sleeve robe.

Song Zi Heng took a deep breath and looked down. The corpse bone’s fingers were slender, and did not look any different, but that was the biggest difference. He staggered back a step, his face whiter than the moonlight tonight.

Those were not the hands of a swordsman. What adult swordsman would have hands with completely undeformed finger bones?

“The remains of the late emperor, has anyone else …” Xu Zhi Nan wanted to say but stopped.

Song Zi Heng felt his hair standing on his body. His jaw dropped, and he couldn’t get over his shock for a long time.

Who had touched Song Ming He’s remains?

Back then, when Song Ming He was badly injured by him on the Eight Trigrams Platform, and while he was recuperating, Shen Shi Yao killed Song Ming He and then killed herself. He had to carry it all in order to protect Song Clan’s reputation. Then, he was nearly besieged by Wuliang Sect and it was Li Bu Yu who saved him. Li Bu Yu, together with Xu Zhi Nan and Qi Meng Sheng, weighed the pros and cons with sect leader of Wuliang Sect so that he could sit on the throne of the Human Emperor. Finally, he took Song Ming He’s coffin back to Daming for burial.

Many of the people from Wuliang Sect might have switched Song Ming He’s corpse.

But why, and where did the real Song Ming He go?!
