Chapter 1082: The Longevity Stone
Qi Xuansu greatly admired a saying that one must have the courage to act when the moment comes.
This was clearly the moment, so Qi Xuansu had no choice but to act boldly.
Qi Xuansu was responsible and resolute, making a decision in an instant and willingly taking accountability.
If things went well, everything afterward would be easy to justify. But if things failed, Qi Xuansu would have no room to deflect blame and would never rise again.
Thus, this was a gamble of fate.
Qi Xuansu fully understood the stakes yet still chose to proceed.
It was late at night by the time Qi Xuansu rushed to the Yu royal palace. At first glance, everything looked the same, with strict security and Spirit Guards everywhere, all of which were arranged by him and under his control.
Qi Xuansu walked through halls and corridors toward the King’s bedchamber with Shangguan Ya in tow.
Xu Jiaorong had to guard the Water Palace, while the two first-rank Spirit Guards were tasked with arresting Chen Shuhua.
Chen Jianqiu, Chen Jianchou, Han Yongfeng, and Lu Yuting were all too weak. In the event of danger, they would not be of any help to Qi Xuansu but would drag him down instead.
The only one who could genuinely assist him was Shangguan Ya.
Of course, Qi Xuansu also prepared several contingencies, such as the pages from the Scripture of Zuriel.
