Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 2673: Chapter 2673: Saving Lives

This world is full of truths and falsehoods.

Countless coincidences come together, and chance becomes inevitability.

The greed of human nature drives the King of the Nine Provinces into a state of madness.

Whereas the selfishness of human nature leads Emperor Blood Soul to sever an arm to survive in critical moments.

His avarice is minor, with a more pronounced selfish nature.

Only Emperor Azure River remains kind and upright.

In this world, the only person he is willing to trust is the King of the Nine Provinces.

Back then, Blood Soul split into two; benevolence became River Azure.

Evil became Blood Soul.

Blood Soul aimed to kill River Azure to prevent future threats to his existence.

At that time, the King of the Nine Provinces made his move, saving River Azure.

The King of the Nine Provinces was in high spirits then, taking the protection of all under heaven as his duty.

Young and arrogant, open-minded, he became River Azure’s only friend.

During those days at the Nine Provinces King’s mansion, River Azure gradually began to recover, even gaining the power to suppress both the King of the Nine Provinces and Blood Soul.

Still, to River Azure, the increase in strength was to fulfill his own wish.

Though simple, in practice, it was exceedingly difficult.

Equality among all beings.

Good-hearted people believe everyone in the world should be treated fairly.

However, those with vested interests will certainly prevent this from happening.

No one is willing to give up their own interests.

Achieving equality among all beings is nearly impossible.

For it fundamentally opposes human nature.

Human nature encompasses both good and evil.

There is no truly benevolent person, nor a truly evil one.

Once a person is truly good, they no longer can be called human.

They would be a saint.

When the great cauldron burst forth from the forest, sweeping across the world.

The King of the Nine Provinces was enduring agony!

Human nature’s greatest evil lies in greed.

Although Blood Soul is a villain, he knows his own life is above all else!

But the King of the Nine Provinces, appearing as a virtuous gentleman, secretly engaged in sordid deeds.

He would not relinquish the impending power.

There is also strength!

Once he obtains the power within the divine cauldron, he will establish the first ever eternal King of the Nine Provinces!

No one can replace him!

Finally.

With his own power, he temporarily suppressed his body on the verge of explosion.

It was at this moment that news came of a True Sovereign being mysteriously injured by the swordsman.

At such a time, it was hard for the King of the Nine Provinces not to let his imagination run wild.

He immediately set aside his tasks and urgently convened a meeting.

But no one knew who the swordsman really was!

The clues left behind were not very clear.

Yet within these limited clues, the King of the Nine Provinces keenly sensed the problem.

He is the King of the Nine Provinces, able to access past secrets!

And this secret is unknown to outsiders.

Holding the tattoo pattern, the King of the Nine Provinces quickly entered the hall storing secrets, opened a box, and began to search its contents.

When he saw the words above.

’From today, the King of the Nine Provinces can only use eight dragons; only he can wield the Nine Dragons.’

This sentence caused the King of the Nine Provinces’ expression to change drastically!

Nine Pattern Dragon!

Could it really be that legendary person?

He immediately reached out to Emperor Azure River.

Yet River Azure remained silent.

Good-hearted people do not lie, nor are they pushovers.

What he wishes to say, he will naturally say.

What his master does not allow him to say, he naturally will not say.

But the King of the Nine Provinces had faintly guessed that this matter was extraordinarily complex!

And the news of the great cauldron appearing in the sky grew increasingly alarming.

The King of the Nine Provinces vaguely sensed a pair of invisible hands orchestrating everything.

Still, he could not let go of his desire!

Feign death!

Only by feigning death could he escape this catastrophe.

But at that moment.

Emperor Azure River appeared at the door of the King of the Nine Provinces.

Julius Reed’s heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, his suspicions proved correct.

The one who had called the King of the Nine Provinces away was none other than Emperor Azure River.

"What’s wrong?" The King of the Nine Provinces was writing, and upon seeing Emperor Azure River appear, could not help but feel a bit surprised.

As the saying goes, a thief feels guilty.

Whether or not Emperor Azure River knew of this affair, the King of the Nine Provinces felt uneasy inside.

Perhaps once, the King of the Nine Provinces and Emperor Azure River were like brothers, but everything changes with shifts in interests.

Emperor Azure River holds the world in his heart, but the King of the Nine Provinces’ heart only harbors himself!

He wants to control the world!

This already clashes with Emperor Azure River’s ideals.

A battle between the two is inevitable!

But now is not the time.

"I want to talk to you about something." Emperor Azure River smiled lightly, "You’re well aware of the situation outside."

"It’s very grave. I suspect the legendary figure truly appeared. But what does he want to change this time?" The King of the Nine Provinces set down his pen, walked to the door, and faced Emperor Azure River.

"I know." River Azure replied, "What he wants to change is human nature. Now come with me, I want to show you something."

"What thing?" The King of the Nine Provinces, though suspecting that Emperor Azure River knew he had tampered with the cauldron, remained in the Nine Provinces King’s mansion.

Besides, he had obtained power.

Merely for safety, he hadn’t utilized it yet.

If they turned against each other now, he felt confident enough to defeat River Azure!

Both left the study and stepped outside.

"At this point, there’s nothing I should hide." Emperor Azure River looked seriously at the King of the Nine Provinces, "Order must change, everything will change. Including the current order, the current people. The current nobility and class!"

"What are you saying?" The King of the Nine Provinces was shocked.

Though he had heard rumors, hearing it from Emperor Azure River still surprised him greatly.

Previously, the mysterious figure only changed small matters.

Like killing a former King of the Nine Provinces, thoroughly altering the status of attendants.

Diminishing the rights of nobility.

Then, Seven Gem Slope emerged, directly shifting the status of women, enabling the realm’s women to cultivate martial arts.

But now, River Azure mentions clearing everything?

"How did you find out! River Azure, tell me!"

He stared at Emperor Azure River.

Instinct told the King of the Nine Provinces that River Azure would not lie.

He’s a man who would not lie!

"I can tell you everything now." River Azure looked at the stopwatch in his hand, placing it in his pocket. "The time has come, the ones destined to die will certainly die. I’ve always pursued fairness under heaven, equality among all beings, as you know."

"I know, but it’s impossible, it cannot be done!"

The King of the Nine Provinces shook his head, bluntly refuting.

To change this is like talking nonsense!

"It will change, because in this catastrophe, those formidable will perish. Without them, the world will change." Emperor Azure River extended his hand, calmly stating: "When the whale falls, all things live."

"What else do you know!"

The King of the Nine Provinces’ expression worsened.

"Nothing, I want to save you." Emperor Azure River began.
