"Yes!" Adrian nodded solemnly, transforming into a clear breeze and departing.
Alex took out a communication jade slip from his robes and contacted the First Elder, Cedric.
"Cedric, how is your injury healing?"
Cedric laughed. "Saint Lord, it’s just a minor injury. It counts for nothing."
"Why did you suddenly contact ? I wonder what orders you have?"
"Can I not contact you if there’s nothing going on? Is it not okay to care about a subordinate?" Alex scolded grumpily, then put on a serious expression.
"Cedric, quickly lead all the elite disciples in the family who are above the Foundation Establishnt Realm."
"Also, gather all the elders, deacons, high-ranking officials, and the Branch Saint Lords of the four great branch families."
"At top speed, head to Originspire Mountain outside the Heavenly Fla Capital and wait for to rendezvous."
Cedric froze. "Saint Lord, why suddenly mobilize so much power?"
"If our Hale family’s strongest martial forces are completely mobilized, there will be an estimated tens of thousands of people."
"If the Heavenly Fla Empress pursues this matter and charges our Hale family with treason, what should we do?"
Alex grinned disapprovingly. "Rest assured. Right now, the Heavenly Fla Empress is like a clay Buddha crossing a river. She can hardly save herself."
"Our mobilization of troops this ti is precisely to save her."
"Oh?" Cedric froze slightly.
"Saint Lord, could it be that the Heavenly Fla Capital has had an incident?"
"Correct, a major incident has occurred."
Imdiately, Alex briefly recounted the matter of Albert’s rebellion to Cedric.
Cedric was stunned listening to this. "I didn’t expect this Albert to actually be so audacious. Not to ntion openly rebelling, he even intends to make false counter-charges and directly murder the Heavenly Fla Empress."
"But... Saint Lord, there’s no need for our Hale family to participate in this, right?"
"Right now, Albert’s power is massive. Acting in collusion with his mother Nova, they have already grasped all the power of the Heavenly Fla Imperial Family."
"Relying on our Hale family’s strength, even gathering the power of the entire clan, I’m afraid we might not be a match for them."
"Given the Saint Lord’s usual style of handling things, why don’t we temporarily endure and hold back? Wait until the forces loyal to Aurelia stick their heads out to resist first, and then sit back and observe the changes?"
Alex asked with deep interest. "Given my usual style of handling things?"
"Cedric, what is the aning of your words?"
"Could it be that in your mind, I am just a profit-seeking, ambitious scher? Can I not be a loyal subject to the nation who has enjoyed the Emperor’s grace and supports the state?"
Cedric revealed an awkward smile. Although he didn’t nod or shake his head, from his expression, it was obvious he was thinking exactly that.
"Heh, I’ll count it as you understanding well." Alex narrowed his eyes, laughing playfully.
"To tell you the truth, I actually knew about Albert’s rebellion and imprisonnt of Aurelia half a month ago."
"The reason I waited half a month before preparing to mobilize troops is precisely because the ti has arrived."
"Albert is militaristic and bloodthirsty, his mother Nova is an incredibly ambitious, poisonous woman."
"If he truly succeeds the great throne smoothly, in order to ensure the stability of his imperial seat, he will inevitably use every extre thod to suppress the major factions of the Heavenly Fla Dynasty."
"Our Hale family would be the very first target he’d suppress."
"Rather than waiting for him to co suppress us, it’s better for us to take the initiative and strike."
"After eliminating Albert, the great throne of the Heavenly Fla Capital will still be sat upon by Aurelia."
"As for Aurelia right now, she is already sickly and can barely save herself."
"Coupled with the fact that she has no sons or daughters, after she dies of illness, the candidate to inherit the throne will beco a mystery."
"At that ti, the various factions will once again be swept into it. Engaging in a bloody slaughter to scramble for power."
"This dynasty... might not necessarily be unable to take the surna Hale!"
After listening and understanding the Saint Lord’s wild ambitions, Cedric had no more words of advice. Remaining silent for a mont, he said solemnly, "Rest assured, Saint Lord. I will imdiately inform the Branch Saint Lords."
"Within two days, all of our Hale family’s strongest martial forces will inevitably be assembled on Originspire Mountain!"
After cutting off the communication jade slip, Alex looked up at the sky, a profound smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"This dynasty might not necessarily be unable to take the surna Hale!"
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Deep in the night, inside the Azure Phoenix Palace of the Heavenly Fla Capital.
Albert, dressed in a yellow imperial robe, sat upon the throne, his expression solemn and panicked.
A palace-dressed woman with half her hair silver, yet still retaining her mature charm, walked out gracefully from behind the throne. "Albert, it is so late, why are you not sleeping yet?"
This woman was Albert’s mother, the Forr Empress of the Heavenly Fla Dynasty, Nova.
"Mother Empress..." Albert imdiately stood up, looking lancholy.
"I don’t know why, but your son always has a bad premonition."
"Tomorrow morning is the day to publicly execute that Aurelia."
"Your son issued invitations to the major Saint Lineage families of the Heavenly Fla Dynasty, inviting them to co watch sweep away the treacherous and wicked, and ascend the ultimate throne."
"But I didn’t expect that the Saint Lords of these Saint Lineages wouldn’t give face. Not a single one replied saying they would attend."
"Your son worries that so unexpected change will happen tomorrow..."
Nova smiled faintly and comforted him. "Albert, you are overthinking."
"Right now, the Heavenly Fla Imperial Guards and the vast majority of experts have already been grasped in your hands."
"Even if they possessed the divine abilities, they shouldn’t even dream of rescuing Aurelia."
"Co tomorrow, after executing Aurelia in front of the people of the world, you will be the ruler of the Heavenly Fla Dynasty."
"Any rebellious subject under the heavens, you can execute first and report later!"
Saying this, Nova narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of chilling coldness revealing itself in her gaze.
