Chapter 33 A Storm in the Making, Disguising As the Sword God Again
Seeing that most of the courtiers were kneeling on the ground and asking the Sword God to go to the border to suppress the rebellion, Emperor Sheng Yuan’s expression was extremely ugly. After all, the Sword God was no longer alive. How could he be sent to the border? Besides, it was unrealistic to find someone with a strength comparable to the Sword God to impersonate him.
At this moment, she was caught between a rock and a hard place, but those people were still pressing on her.
“Your Majesty, this matter concerns the safety of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. Please make a decision quickly!”
Almost everyone agreed with this suggestion. They all thought that the Sword God was still alive. It had to be said that this was indeed the best solution. However, the premise of that solution happening was that the Sword God was still alive.
“Your Majesty, why are you so hesitant? Could it be that the Sword God is in a special situation?”
Left with no choice, Emperor Sheng Yuan could only say, “Then let’s do as you suggested and let the Sword God lead the army to suppress the rebellion.”
After the court meeting ended, Emperor Sheng Yuan was obviously exhausted. She didn’t say anything to Lin Ran. It was obvious that she was worried about the matter concerning the Sword God.
After a long time, she finally broke the silence.
“This is the only way.” After saying that, she stared at Lin Ran.
He had a feeling that her plan had something to do with him. “Do you want me to disguise
again?”
Emperor Sheng Yuan nodded and forced a smile. “I know I’m making things difficult for you, and the way to the north is long and strenuous, but this is the only choice I’m left with.”
Emperor Sheng Yuan had no choice. Sending anyone else to replace the Sword God would only make the situation worse.
“You disguised as me before and beguiled everyone. I believe you can do it again.”
Lin Ran did not expect that he would have to disguise as the Sword God again. What was more, this time, it was the empress who requested it. So this was the plan she came up with.
She originally thought that Lin Ran would reject her or take time to consider it, but he agreed without hesitation. This was out of the empress’s expectations.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Have you thought it through?”
“Yes, I’ve thought it through.”
Lin Ran knew for a fact that this was a ploy by Sun Zhanghong and the others to lure him away from the Imperial City.
How could it be such a coincidence? Just as the Sword God showed up again, a rebellion broke out in the north, and the Sword God was forced to go to the north to crack down on the rebellion.
However, Lin Ran did not intend to expose the plan for the time being. He would take this opportunity to beat them at their own game. Perhaps, he could even get rid of all the rats in the imperial court.
Looking at Lin Ran’s determined gaze, Emperor Sheng Yuan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. “This is the sword of the Sword God. Although it’s broken, it might be of help to you.”
Lin Ran took the Dragon Roar Sword from her.
He originally wanted to give this sword to Emperor Sheng Yuan as a token to make her believe what the “Sword God” said. He did not expect her to return it to him in the end.
“I know it’s a dangerous mission this time. You have to be careful with every move you make.”

At King Zhao Manor.
Apart from Sun Zhanghong and the other powerful ministers, there were also forces from the martial world led by Zhou Hao. It could be said that half of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty’s forces were gathered here.
“Last time, our plan to poison him failed. The Sword God was actually able to cure the poison. Apparently, his strength has taken to another level over the years of his seclusion. This time, after sending him out of the capital, we don’t have to worry about anything.”
Sun Zhanghong sneered. “Sect Master Zhou, you still have the cheek to talk? What kind of trash poison was that? It was easily removed. If I’d known about it, I wouldn’t have put so much effort in cooperating with you.”
Zhou Hao and the others were puzzled.
“Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be the case. Even the people from the Drug Valley can’t remove the poison. Even if it’s removed, it’ll at least cost the Sword God half of his internal energy.”
“Could the Sword God be pretending that he’s unscathed?”
“What’s the point of making so many excuses? You’d better stop boasting in the future, Sect Master Zhou.”
Zhou Hao was not the kind of person who would put up with insults. The two of them were on the verge of starting a quarrel.
King Zhao said in a low voice, “Alright, you should focus on the business at hand and put aside your personal grudge!”
Although the two of them were still looking at each other with hatred, they didn’t continue kicking up a fuss.
“The Sword God will set off today. Now that the situation is advantageous for us, it’s time to take action.”
“The Northern Border is thousands of miles away from the Imperial City. Even if he can fly back on his sword upon receiving the tragic news, the Imperial City will already be in our control when he arrives.”
“We can’t be too cocky. I suggest that we stop the news from spreading out of the capital. When the situation is set in stone, no matter how capable the Sword God is, he won’t be able to change it.”
“No matter what, this is the best time to execute the plan. Everyone, don’t let your guard down. Life or death, wealth or poverty depends on this.”
“Don’t worry, our men have already disguised themselves and snuck into the capital. They’re waiting for the order.”
“There are also our people among the imperial city guards. When the time comes, they will open the city gate, and it’ll be a piece of cake to take down the emperor.”
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, their eyes flashing with greed.

Emperor Sheng Yuan also mobilized a portion of the Imperial Guards to go to the border with the “Sword God” to suppress the rebellion.
As she watched the troop leave, Emperor Sheng Yuan put her palms together and wished Lin Ran a safe trip. At this moment, she still didn’t know that the real crisis was coming
Over the past few days, many unfamiliar faces had suddenly appeared in the capital. However, no one noticed them because they were dressed plainly.
Besides, life was busy. Who would pay attention to some unfamiliar faces?
A storm was in the making. When it came into form, it would wreak havoc to the ostensibly peaceful Imperial City.
