The Yin-Yang family was located on a mountain outside Xianyang City, where clouds and mist shrouded the mountain all year round, full of mystery. When Ying Yuan arrived at the foot of the mountain, the sky was already slightly bright.

He dismounted and climbed up the winding mountain road. The road was rugged, with dense forests on both sides, blocking out the sun and making it look particularly gloomy.

After walking for a long time, Ying Yuan finally arrived at the door of Yin Yang Family. The door was closed, and two Yin Yang Family disciples dressed in black stood in front of the door, expressionless, like two statues.

"I want to see Donghuang Taiyi." Ying Yuan said coldly.

The two disciples looked at each other, and one of them said, "Your Majesty, Lord Donghuang is in seclusion and will not see anyone."

"Retreat?" Ying Yuan sneered, "I don't believe it. Get out of the way!"

The two disciples did not move and still blocked the door.

"How dare you!" Ying Yuan shouted angrily, "How dare you stop me?"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry that I cannot obey your command." The two disciples still had no expression on their faces.

A cold light flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes. He attacked fiercely, striking out with both palms, knocking the two disciples away.

He pushed open the door and strode in.

Inside the Yin-Yang family, pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, like a fairyland. However, at this moment, there is a weird atmosphere here.

Ying Yuan walked straight towards Donghuang Taiyi's residence. Along the way, he met many disciples of the Yin-Yang School, but they all ignored him as if he did not exist.

Finally, he arrived at Donghuang Taiyi's residence. It was an independent courtyard with the gate closed. It was quiet around without a sound.

Ying Yuan pushed open the gate and walked in. The yard was full of exotic flowers and plants, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

He came to the door of the room and knocked gently.

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside.

Ying Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. The room was dimly lit, and Donghuang Taiyi was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his back to him.

"You're here." Donghuang Taiyi said slowly without looking back.

"I have a lot of questions to ask you." Ying Yuan said with a cold tone.

"I know." Donghuang Taiyi said, "You want to know why the Moon Goddess betrayed you, you want to know the conspiracy of the remnants of the six countries, you want to know the truth of all this."

"That's right." Ying Yuan said.

Donghuang Taiyi finally turned around and looked at Ying Yuan with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you know that all this was arranged by me." Donghuang Taiyi said slowly, his tone terrifyingly calm.

Ying Yuan was shocked when he heard this. He stared at Donghuang Taiyi with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"You...what did you say?" Ying Yuan asked in disbelief.

"I said, all this was arranged by me." Donghuang Taiyi repeated, his tone still calm.

"Why?" Ying Yuan roared, "Why did you do this? Why did you betray me?"

"Betrayal?" Donghuang Taiyi sneered, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. I have never betrayed you."

"Then why did you arrange all this?" Ying Yuan asked.

Donghuang Taiyi stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you know what my mission is?" "What is it?" Ying Yuan asked.

"My mission is to protect Daqin and Your Majesty." Donghuang Taiyi said with a firm tone.

"Protect me?" Ying Yuan sneered, "Is this how you protect me? Let my subjects betray me, and let the remnants of the six kingdoms take advantage of the opportunity?"

"Your Majesty, you are wrong." Donghuang Taiyi said, "Everything I have done is for the Qin Dynasty and for Your Majesty."

"What are you talking about?" Ying Yuan became more and more confused.

Donghuang Taiyi turned around and looked at Ying Yuan, his eyes gleaming with a gleam.

"Your Majesty, do you know that this world is about to be in chaos?"

Ying Yuan's heart shuddered, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"The world is about to go into chaos?" Ying Yuan repeated Donghuang Taiyi's words, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his tone. He stared at Donghuang Taiyi closely, trying to read something from his calm face.

Donghuang Taiyi walked to the table, picked up a scroll, and slowly unfolded it. There were complex patterns drawn on the scroll, and Ying Yuan recognized it at a glance as a map of the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, please look," Donghuang Taiyi pointed at the map and said, "Although the Qin Dynasty has unified the six kingdoms, the remnants of the six kingdoms are still ready to make a move. They are secretly communicating and accumulating strength. When the time is right, they will start a war again."

Ying Yuan looked at the red dots on the map and felt his heart sink. These red dots represented the gathering places of the remnants of the six kingdoms. They were scattered in every corner of the Qin Dynasty, like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.

"I know about the existence of the remnants of the six kingdoms," Ying Yuan said in a deep voice, "but I believe that the Qin cavalry is enough to crush them."

Donghuang Taiyi shook his head. "Your Majesty, you underestimated them. Over the years, they have been developing in secret, and their strength is no longer comparable to what it was before. Moreover..." He paused, and his tone became more solemn. "There is a mysterious force behind them supporting them."

"Mysterious power?" Ying Yuan frowned, "What power is it?"

Donghuang Taiyi did not answer directly, but cast his gaze out the window and said in a quiet voice: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of... the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon?"

The words "Seven Stars of Azure Dragon" exploded in Ying Yuan's mind like a thunderbolt. Of course, he had heard of the Seven Stars of Azure Dragon. They were seven stars with mysterious powers in the legend. It was said that whoever could control the power of the Seven Stars of Azure Dragon could control the world.

"Could it be..." A terrible thought flashed through Ying Yuan's mind, "Could it be that the remnants of the six kingdoms have obtained the power of the Seven Stars of Azure Dragon?"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded slowly, "That's right. They got the secret of the Blue Dragon and are trying to control it."

Ying Yuan felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He realized that what he was facing was not only a rebellion by the remnants of the six kingdoms, but also a catastrophe that would determine the fate of the world.

"Why are you telling me this now?" Ying Yuan asked, with a hint of anger in his tone.

Donghuang Taiyi replied calmly: "Because the time has not come yet. Telling Your Majesty before will only add to Your Majesty's troubles and will not help."

"Is the time right now?" Ying Yuan asked.

"Yes," Donghuang Taiyi answered affirmatively, "Now is the time for Your Majesty to make a decision."

"How should I decide?" Ying Yuan asked.

Donghuang Taiyi walked up to Ying Yuan and stared at him with burning eyes, "Your Majesty, you need to make a choice. Continue to believe in your subjects, or believe in me."

Ying Yuan was silent. He looked at Donghuang Taiyi, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. He didn't know who to trust, nor did he know how to make a choice.

Donghuang Taiyi continued, "Your Majesty, the Moon Goddess betrayed you because she was bewitched by the remnants of the six kingdoms, and I arranged all this in order to catch them all in one fell swoop." (End of this chapter)
