Chapter 110 The False Emperor Has Gone Mad! He's Using the Entire City's People as Sacrifices

The capital city, the imperial palace, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Chu Xuanji sat on the dragon throne he had always dreamed of, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

Just now, a wisp of his divine thought that he had planted in the Nine Nether Dragon Devouring Formation was completely crushed by a power so pure it was almost supernatural.

Linglan has also lost contact.

He died.

The imperial advisor who had followed him for many years, offering him advice and helping him create the ghost army, died silently.

"Mu Yu..."

Chu Xuanji squeezed out those two words through gritted teeth.

He couldn't think of anyone else who could instantly purify Ling Lan's resentment, except for that little koi fish with great fortune.

It's her again!

It's that little thing again, ruining his plans time and time again!

A serving eunuch knelt tremblingly below the palace, his voice shaking.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, an urgent dispatch from the Northern Frontier...The Northern Frontier is on the brink of death..."

"Read it!" Chu Xuanji coldly uttered a single word.

"The Jingnan Army has breached Hulao Pass. General Wang, the former general, has been killed in battle. The 100,000-strong army has been routed..."

The eunuch's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Inside the main hall, there was a deathly silence.

Hulao Pass was the last natural barrier leading to the capital.

Once Hulao Pass is breached, it means that Chu Chongjin's army will be at the city gates within three days!

"Useless! All of you are useless!"

Chu Xuanji abruptly swept all the memorials on the table to the ground, his eyes bloodshot.

He lost.

Militarily, he suffered a crushing defeat.

He thought that by ascending the throne and holding the reins of justice, he could easily crush Chu Chongjin by accusing him of treason.

But he miscalculated one thing.

Public sentiment.

His series of tyrannical policies after ascending the throne had already caused him to lose the support of the people.

Chu Chongjin's Jingnan Army, on the other hand, was disciplined and pacified the people wherever it went, opening granaries to distribute grain, thus becoming a benevolent and righteous army revered by all.

Given this ebb and flow, his defeat was already inevitable.

"I...I have not lost!"

Chu Xuanji suddenly stood up, looking like a madman.

"I have one last trump card!"

"What I cannot have, he cannot have either!"

A resolute madness flashed in his eyes as he strode towards the back of the main hall.

Passing through a hidden door, you enter a huge underground chamber.

In the center of the secret chamber was the main array eye of the Nine Nether Dragon Devouring Array!

It was a hundred times larger and more complex than the mansion of Sikong Ming.

The entire formation was built directly at the confluence of the dragon veins beneath the palace. The black formation patterns, like vicious maggots, clung tightly to the golden dragon veins.

At the very center of the formation, the golden skull had been replaced with an even larger dragon head carved from an unknown black crystal.

The dragon's head was wide open, as if it wanted to devour everything.

"Chu Chongjin, do you think you've won?"

Chu Xuanji stroked the cold crystal dragon head and laughed nervously.

"You think that once you conquer the capital and sit on the dragon throne, you'll be the emperor?"

"Let me tell you, I will destroy this empire with my own hands and I will never leave it to you!"

He took out a black jade bottle from his bosom.

Upon opening the bottle, a strong, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the entire sealed room.

The bottle contained his heart's blood.

It was the most vicious catalyst he created by combining the evil magic of the Koi Clan with human resentment.

"Nine Nether Dragon Devourer, with my blood as a sacrifice and the people as a sacrifice, reverse the universe and transform the true dragon into a Nether Dragon!"

He raised the jade bottle high and poured all the blood from his heart into the giant mouth of the crystal dragon head.

"start!"

With his command, the entire capital city, unseen underground, suddenly trembled!

The 999 small array eyes that had been set up in various parts of the capital were activated at the same time!

These array points no longer secretly absorb the earth's energy.

They are like greedy black holes, frantically and recklessly devouring the life essence of all living things!

For a time, everyone in the capital felt a strange palpitation and weakness.

The trees along the street are turning yellow at a visible rate.

Domesticated livestock suddenly collapsed and cried out in pain.

Countless people, fast asleep, had their life force gradually drained in their dreams, converging into streams of black energy that surged toward the main formation beneath the palace.

Princess Anguo's Mansion.

Mu Yu, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly sat up in bed.

"Earthquake!"

She cried out in surprise, her small body swaying.

But she soon realized it wasn't an earthquake.

It's a more terrifying feeling.

In her perception, the entire capital city seemed to have become a giant patient.

Countless tiny black "fleas" were frantically gnawing at the patient's flesh and blood.

All the "blood" flowed to one place—the imperial palace.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the water level of the Pond of Blessings is dropping at an alarming rate!

This isn't stealing, this is robbery!

[Warning! Warning! The Great Chu Kingdom's national fortune is being maliciously devoured! Current rate of loss: 100 million points per second!]

[Longmen Restoration Progress: 29%...28%...27%...]

The scroll of the "Chrysanthemum of Auspicious Clouds and Koi" issued the most piercing alarm since its creation.

If this continues, within an hour, the entire nation's fortune will be completely drained!

When that time comes, the dragon veins will collapse, the mountains and rivers will be shattered, and the human world will be turned into a hell!

"Father! Ninth Brother!"

Mu Yu didn't even have time to put on her shoes before rushing out of the room barefoot.

"Something terrible has happened! That biggest villain is going to take our pots and pans!"

She ran and shouted, her voice trembling with tears.

Yan Ziche and Xie Zhiwei were analyzing a map of the capital when they heard this and immediately rushed out.

"Little Yu'er, what's wrong?"

"The palace! Underneath the palace! That biggest ink-black ball of a creature, it's alive! It's eating!"

Mu Yu pointed in the direction of the palace, stamping her feet anxiously.

Yan Ziche understood instantly.

Chu Xuanji activated the final formation!

He's going to drag the entire capital city down with him, no, the entire Great Chu!

"It's too late..."

Yan Ziche's face turned deathly pale.

"Even if we inform His Highness now, it will be too late... Once this formation is fully activated, it will be irreversible."

“Unless…” Xie Zhiwei looked at Mu Yu, “unless we can cut off its power at its source.”

"source?"

"It's the national destiny and dragon energy," Xie Zhiwei said in a deep voice. "The Nine Nether Dragon Devouring Formation devours dragon energy. If we can stabilize the dragon energy, we might be able to slow it down."

But how do we stabilize the situation?

The dragon's aura is ethereal and elusive; apart from Chu Chongjin, who possesses the aura of a true dragon, who can influence it?

But Chu Chongjin was a hundred miles away!

Just when everyone was in despair.

Suddenly, the aged voice of the Turtle Prime Minister echoed in Mu Yu's mind.

"Your Highness, you belong to the Koi clan, born to assist the true dragon and regulate the fortune. The fate of the nation is also a kind of fortune."

"When the true dragon is no longer here, you will be the temporary manager of the nation's destiny."

Mu Yu was stunned.

yes!

Ninth Brother is gone, but she is still here!

She is the Koi Princess, and her good fortune is the purest form of luck!

She closed her eyes and immersed all her mind in the auspicious koi and cloud record in the sea of ​​consciousness.

She stared at the rapidly sinking Pond of Fortune and gritted her teeth.

"No more surrendering!"

She shouted at the pond.

"Spit out all my water! No, let it flow out! To protect those golden clouds!"

She issued the order using the simplest of languages.

The Pond of Fortune surged violently, and then, streams of golden fortune, no longer passively flowing away, actively rushed out of the sea of ​​consciousness, transforming into an invisible golden torrent that surged towards the dark red sea of ​​national fortune clouds above the capital.

Gold and dark red clashed directly.

The rate at which the nation's fortunes were depleted slowed down instantly.

[The rate at which national fortune is being lost has slowed... Current rate: 5 million points per second...]

it works!

Although Yan Ziche and Xie Zhiwei couldn't see, they could clearly feel that the oppressive feeling that made their hearts pound had lessened considerably.

They stared in shock at the girl standing in the courtyard, her eyes closed, her small face tense.

It's her!

It was Xiao Yu'er who single-handedly fought against the evil formation that devoured heaven and earth!

"Quickly! Send a message to His Highness!"

Yan Ziche reacted the fastest, shouting at the guards beside him.

"Tell Your Highness that the false emperor intends to sacrifice the entire city in a world-ending act! The capital can only hold out for another half an hour at most!"

"Your Highness, please, immediately, bring your troops to the city gates!"
