Seeing the content on the scroll, Shi Lei couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.
The boy who is always thinking about killing ghosts and saving people, the boy who confronted the "fierce god" on Yishan Mountain and was regarded as a hero, the boy who rescued his daughter from the "ghost waiter", that boy The boy who invented the "Fire Character" and benefited millions of people turned out to be a rebel who colluded with ghosts
He looked at the little eunuch in front of him and said in a cold tone, "Did this order really come from the palace?"
The little eunuch shivered, not knowing why Master Shi suddenly stared at him fiercely.
But he still replied respectfully, "Eunuch Cao gave it to me personally. It cannot be false."
The Eunuch Cao he spoke of naturally meant Bingbi eunuch Cao Tong.
While the little eunuch was talking, Shi Lei also saw the seal of Emperor Tianxing at the end of the edict.
His expression became more gloomy.
He felt that Gu Xu did not look like a person who would rebel at all. Like Cao Tong, he believed that Gu Xu had a bright future and had no motive or reason to collude with ghosts and rebels. This was not only extremely risky, but And it will ruin his reputation.
But after all, this is an order from the imperial palace, from Emperor Tianxing.
In the eyes of the people of Qi, including Shi Lei, Emperor Tianxing, who holds the "Tai'a Sword" and has the realm of a true king, is a god-like existence, invincible and will never make mistakes. of.
They have always had a heartfelt admiration and respect for this monarch, believing that as long as he sits in the Zichen Palace, Luojing City will never fall, and ghosts will not be afraid.
Of course, today, the Ghost King of Mang Mountain broke into the city with many ghosts, which inevitably caused a crack in Shi Lei's original unwavering faith.
But having grown up in Daqi's bureaucracy, he still felt fortunately that what happened in Luojing City today was due to the emperor's temporary negligence due to his concentration on cultivation, and the dereliction of duty of his ministers.
He believed that as long as the emperor discovered the problem in time, everything could be solved.
Because of this, the two emotions of loyalty to the monarch and consistent appreciation of his son-in-law collided violently, making Shi Lei's heart full of contradictions and entanglements.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing his father's sad face and sighing repeatedly, Shi Xiaohan, who was sitting on the stone steps next to him, couldn't help but ask.
Shi Lei turned his head, looked at his daughter's clear, bright, and trouble-free big eyes, forced out a smile, and lied, "I'm fine. It's just that there were too many ghosts and monsters that broke into Luojing." , it’s a bit troublesome to deal with.”
“Humph, you’re so bad, you can’t even deal with a bunch of brats,” Shi Xiaohan crossed his slender arms across his chest and quarreled with his father out of habit, “Gu Xu just now. Together with Ms. Zhao from Youzhou, the two of them killed a sixth-level ghost attendant. Once this heroine recovers from her injuries, it will be easy to deal with them."
"Yes, that's right. , my heroine of timeIt's the best," Shi Lei followed her words, but his mood became more and more depressed.
Now his daughter's thoughts are all about Gu Xu.
He I can't imagine that if she knew that her fiancé had become a treasonous thief in the eyes of the emperor, would her pretty little face still show the innocent smile of the past?
In the Zichen Palace , in front of the Qianyang Palace.
The Duke of Yan Zhao Changying and the Mangshan Ghost King stood side by side, facing each other from a distance with Emperor Tianxing above Danbi.
Planning this revenge. During the operation, Zhao Changying had a thousand words brewing in his heart, and wanted to confront Emperor Tianxing in the imperial city to ask him why he secretly sent people to assassinate Qu Qingqiu, and asked him why he used such insidious and despicable methods as creating rumors. He used a trick to ask why he could tolerate thousands of miles of land, but could not tolerate the Youzhou Zhao family.
But when he saw the bright golden eyes of Emperor Tianxing, his words were blocked. It was in his throat and he couldn't speak.
It was not because the emperor had sealed his mouth with magic.
It was because the emperor seemed to be standing in front of him. , but it actually seems to be standing on the nine heavens, looking down at him.
As the saying goes, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as stupid dogs." ”
The ruthless Heaven will only act according to the established rules, treat all creatures in the world equally, and has no leisure to listen to the love and hatred of an ordinary person.
In front of this emperor , No matter what he said, it was useless.
So Zhao Changying chose to remain silent and take action directly.
But the Mangshan Ghost King next to him acted faster. p>As a resentful soul born in the mausoleum of the Great Chu Emperor, it contains the nostalgia of generations of Great Chu emperors for their homeland and the resentment of their country’s subjugation.
Therefore, the moment Emperor Tianxing appeared, , it began to mobilize power from the "ghost attendants" in Luojing City, and its aura quickly increased.
This is where the Mangshan Ghost King is stronger than ordinary "fierce god" level ghosts.
On weekdays, the "ghost attendant" can serve as its eyes and ears, mingling among humans and doing things for it that it is inconvenient for a ghost to do in person.
At critical moments, it can help it. The power of many "Ghost Warriors" gathered into one body, causing them to instantly burst out with extremely terrifying fighting power, which made people unable to guard against it.
It was too late, but soon, Mangshan Ghost King held the Feng Shui Master Bai in his hand. Chen's long sword, with the sword master Su Hao's "Xiaoyao Step" on his feet, at the same time used the first "Dragon Howl" of the Pingtian Sword Technique in the memory of "The Undefeated Sword God" Hu Yun, towards the main hall door. The former Emperor Tianxing smashed it away.
The unique skills of the "Ghost Servers" are the unique skills of the Mangshan Ghost King.
As a serious collector, the Mangshan Ghost King is doing it. After the practitioners become "Ghost Warriors", they will search their souls, read their memories, and make all the powerful moves they master into their own.
Of course, yes.For those high-grade moves that involve the true meaning of the great road, Mangshan Ghost King may not be able to fully display their charm.
But it is better than its own strength.
Even if these moves are only superficial and lacking in spirit, they can still exert considerable power.
In Luojing City.
Su Xiaozheng was holding a long sword in his hand, fighting fiercely with his biological father and two other black-clothed and masked "ghost waiters" without giving in.
His mood was extremely complicated at this moment.
He couldn't bear to kill his father.
But his father's sword was merciless and deadly, so he had to use all his strength to resist.
Suddenly, the three "ghost attendants" softened and fell to the ground.
The true energy on their sword blades was extinguished.
The "Huode Xingjun" body behind Su Hao also disappeared.
Su Xiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what happened.
Another corner of Luojing City.
A thin, handsome young man was holding a thick and long wooden stick and fighting with several officials from the Exorcism Department.
This person is also a member of the previous generation of "Shenji Camp". His surname is "Zhuang" and his first name is "Xingchen". He is famous for his stick skills.
But now, he has also become the "Ghost Attendant" of the Ghost King of Mangshan.
The people who can be selected into the "Shenji Camp" are naturally not ordinary people. Under Zhuang Xingchen's dense rain of sticks, several exorcism officials were covered with bruises and retreating, and were about to be beaten to death.
But at this moment, Zhuang Xingchen suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, his legs weakened and he fell heavily.
The stick in his hand also fell to the ground, and rolled far away.
In a thatched cottage a few miles away from Luojing City and close to Mang Mountain, a strong middle-aged woman wearing a cloth shirt was sitting on a futon with her eyes closed.
This woman is a Gu Master from southern Xinjiang, named "Hu Ying". She used to be a member of the "Shenji Battalion" of the previous generation, and now she has become the "Ghost Attendant" of the Mangshan Ghost King.
Not long ago, Gu Xu had a thrilling battle at the soul level with businessman Yang Changfu in her courtyard house, and successfully eradicated the "heart poison" she had left in Yang Changfu's spiritual world.
But Yang Changfu was not the only one who was planted by her.
At this moment, she was just like playing chess, manipulating these people who had been bewitched by witchcraft to create chaos in Luojing City, and was very busy.
But suddenly, she found that she had lost control of the Gu.
"Ah, Lord" she exclaimed.
Immediately afterwards, she fell limply to the ground, and all the true energy in her body was drained away.
The power that had been taken away from these "ghost attendants" was now concentrated on the sword edge of the Ghost King of Mangshan, rushing towards Emperor Tianxing in front of him with overwhelming force.
Like a galloping wild horse, like a flood that bursts a bank, like a furious murderer, vowing to tear this figure wearing a crown and bright yellow imperial robe into pieces in the most cruel way.
The instantaneous burst of power from the Mangshan Ghost King made Zhao Changying, who was in the eighth realm next to him, feel heartbroken. Zhao Changying felt that if he stood in the position of Emperor Tianxing, he must exert all his strength. Only by using your life-saving trump card can you stand a chance of resisting this move, and you will pay a heavy price.
But Emperor Tianxing’s eyes remained calm and indifferent.
Faced with the thunderous blow from Mangshan Ghost King, he only made a simple movement
Raised the "Tai'a Sword" in his hand, and slowly moved from top to bottom. Slowly chop down.
Not like a swordsman fighting with a sword.
It is more like the presiding officer in the court raising the "gave" and slapping it on the table to frighten the prisoners in front of him.
The sword fell gently, but it was accompanied by the roar of thunder.
The black clouds in the sky dispersed in all directions, and thousands of golden lights poured down like waterfalls. The shadow of a five-clawed golden dragon could be faintly seen, and the sweet fairy music was heard.
This is undoubtedly a sacred and solemn picture.
As if the door to the fairy world suddenly opens, the fairy king above the nine heavens will come to the world with his heavenly soldiers and generals in the clouds and mist.
Seeing such a scene, many people in Luojing City burst into tears for a while. They ignored the ghosts and ghosts around them and knelt down devoutly in the direction of the palace, thanking the great God and His Majesty the Emperor for not Abandon yourself in this darkest, most desperate moment.
The Mangshan Ghost King's full blow was resolved in a matter of seconds.
But this sword of Emperor Tianxing is not only a defensive sword, but also a counterattack sword.
The face of Mangshan Ghost King suddenly became distorted with pain.
It clearly felt that a powerful force, like Ling Chi, was cutting into its spirit body, trying to separate it from Bai Chen's body in the most violent way.
At this moment, it has understood that Emperor Tianxing's seemingly light sword strikes at the level of rules. After this sword falls, the existence of evil things will not be allowed in Luojing City.
In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky disappeared, and the evil spirit coming out of the ground also disappeared.
The "Jingshan Bi" in the hands of the Ghost King of Mangshan suddenly fell into pieces and turned into shiny debris all over the ground.
The ghosts and monsters that were preying wantonly in the city, such as the red-eyed pig demon, chisel tooth, roe owl, etc., suddenly burst into golden flames, and each one screamed in pain. In the blink of an eye, Then they all turned into ashes.
At the same time, the "ghost attendants" of the Mang Mountain Ghost King, including Su Hao, Zhuang Xingchen, Hu Ying, etc., covered their heads and let out painful wails.
They have been controlled by the Ghost King of Mangshan for many years.
The control spells of Mangshan Ghost King have already penetrated their heads deeply like towering ancient trees., penetrated into their souls and into their marrow.
It is intertwined and difficult to separate.
But now, there is a powerful force that forcibly pulls this "towering tree" out of their bodies.
Some ghost attendants with relatively low cultivation levels could not withstand such terrifying power for a while, so they bled from all their orifices, exploded to death, and left the human world completely.
Most of the "Ghost Waiters", because their self-consciousness has been erased by the Ghost King of Mangshan, after losing control, they became vegetative people who could only lie on the ground and drool.
As for Hu Yun and Wu Danggui, the Ghost King of Mangshan who had been eliminated by Gu Xu and others had no intention of taking care of them anymore.
The ghost king of Mangshan is not having an easy time either.
Despite its desperate resistance, its spirit body was forcibly pulled out of its body and appeared naked in front of Emperor Tianxing.
The body that originally belonged to Feng Shui master Bai Chen fell limply to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Then Emperor Tianxing raised his left hand that was not holding the sword and held it lightly in the air.
The air around Mangshan Ghost King suddenly turned into invisible shackles, fixing it in place, unable to move.
The Ghost King of Mangshan understood that it was over.
For today's revenge, it has been planning for many years, but it still underestimated the strength of Emperor Tianxing.
The power of this Emperor of Qi is by no means the power that an ordinary eighth-level monk should have.
It is an otherworldly, non-human force.
"Run away." This was the only thought in its mind.
At this critical juncture, it used its mind to lock on an ordinary palace maid passing by in front of the Qianyang Gate. It planned to separate a piece of its own soul, disguise it as a living soul, and attach it to this palace maid. Use her to escape this terrible palace.
However, Emperor Tianxing moved faster than it.
His clenched hand slowly fell down.
Invisible flames suddenly burst out from the spirit body of Mangshan Ghost King.
It seemed to turn into a candle, quickly melting and evaporating until it turned into nothingness.
At the moment when he was about to die, a phantom appeared in the sight of Mangshan Ghost King
Blue sky, red palace walls, gorgeous palaces, white marble floor tiles, They all disappeared and turned into an airtight black-gray iron net that spread from the feet to the distant horizon.
Viscous flames as scarlet as blood burned blazingly outside the iron fence.
And on its soul, there is a pair of shackles made of red-hot iron. It is unknown whether it was born with it or whether it was put on it by Emperor Tianxing.
However, before it could fully see the contents of the illusion, it was completely burned to ashes by the fire and ceased to exist.
Emperor Tianxing’s eyes also fell on Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan next to him.
ZhaoChangying felt a chill in her heart.
Just now, when he saw the Mangshan Ghost King taking the lead, he had some small thoughts. He wanted the Mangshan Ghost King to fight Emperor Tianxing so that both sides would suffer, and then he would reap the benefits.
Even if the Ghost King of Mangshan cannot defeat the Emperor, he can still test the Emperor's strength and moves to make him prepared.
But Zhao Changying never expected that the Mangshan Ghost King, who had strength beyond ordinary saints, would be effortlessly eliminated by Emperor Tianxing without any resistance.
This unprecedented turmoil in Luojing City was easily quelled by Emperor Tianxing.
This made Zhao Changying feel uneasy.
He felt that his revenge plan might not be able to proceed smoothly. Even today, he might not be able to walk out of the palace alive.
It’s just that Zhao Changying still has a doubt in his heart
Logically speaking, Emperor Tianxing has such strong strength, the Ghost King of Mangshan has no chance to destroy the formation, and the ghosts have no chance to destroy it. There is no chance to break into Luo Jing City, and it is impossible for him to break into the palace easily.
The emperor's terrifying ability to manipulate rules is enough to prevent today's disaster in the bud.
But why would he allow all this to happen?
Is it because he wants to lure snakes out of their holes and fish for law enforcement?
Or is it because he is really as aloof as a god? Don’t care about everything in the world
Zhao Changying didn’t know. ,,
