章 896: Did You Betray Me Back Then?!

Not only did Shangguan Jing promise to give the throne to Chu Liuyue, but he was even giving it to someone who wasn't a part of the royal lineage and bloodline. This was practically unheard of and was unlikely to happen again as this was all because Chu Liuyue made the Ancestor reappear and had his protection and support. Any one of the above terms was enough to stabilize her position as the Tianling Dynasty's ruler.

Thunder-struck, Shangguan Wan's last strand of hope died out. How did things turn out like this? How did things get into this situation?! Shangguan Yue should've died two years ago, but why is she still alive?! How did she get everyone's support after destroying all my efforts? Even the Ancestor is on her side! Who would dare to go against him? Had I known this outcome earlier… I thought I was the winner, but I turned out to be the biggest loser and the butt of the joke in the end! There's no way I can turn things around now!
