Chapter 43: Imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison
"Who dares to act so recklessly in the Imperial Palace?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard, and a stream of light flew from the direction of the Imperial Garden, and Hua Wu Yue landed on the Qianyuan Palace.
Seeing the queen and officials trapped in the net, he raised his right hand, and the Mysterious Sword of Ten Thousand Flowers flew out, turning into thousands of petals, covering the entire square.
The petals floating around the light net turned into colorful sword lights, easily cutting the light net and destroying this magic weapon.
"Hua Wu Yue, you dare to destroy my magic weapon." A cultivator shouted angrily and released a flying sword to slash at Hua Wu Yue.
But as soon as his flying sword came out, it was blocked by a petal. As a mid-grade spiritual treasure-level flying sword, it was not only blocked but also pushed back by the petals.
His face turned pale with shock now. Most of the sects in Baihua Valley knew that it was once a big sect as famous as Zhengyi Dao. The Mysterious Sword of Wanhua of the Baihua Fairy was famous throughout the world, and even the top demons did not dare to provoke it easily, let alone these small and medium-sized sects.
"Flowing flowers are dancing! Mysterious Light Immortal Sword of Ten Thousand Flowers!"
Several leaders who had some experience shouted out tremblingly, with fear and despair in their voices.
"I have some knowledge. Although I don't understand Qianyuan laws very well, I still know that breaking into the palace is equivalent to treason, which is punishable by death." Hua Wu Yue raised his hands and made seals with both hands.
"Wait, let me explain..." two of the leaders shouted hurriedly.
Hua Wu Yue did not listen to his explanation and activated the Flowing Flowers Flying Formation, combined with the Wanhua Xuanguan Flying Sword. Tens of thousands of petals turned into flying swords and engulfed all the cultivators.
The people inside screamed and tried their best to resist, but in the Liuhua Feiwu formation, their magic weapons and flying swords were cut off as soon as they appeared.
Then, the petals pierced through the bodies of these disciples, and the leaders were terrified and filled with regret.
The petals all over the sky disappeared, and most of the disciples who came this time were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and their flying swords were knocked to the ground.
Hua Wu Yue flew to Shangguan Rong's side and asked, "Is the Queen okay?"
"Thanks to Lady Baihua for arriving in time, everyone was just frightened and nothing serious happened."
Shangguan Rong nodded in response, and was equally shocked in her heart. She had not expected that Hua Wu Yue was so powerful that more than 500 cultivators were defeated by him with just one move.
And it can be seen that she was holding back on purpose, otherwise these people would probably have been killed.
"Queen, how should we deal with these people?" Hua Wu Yue didn't understand the law, so naturally he left it to the Queen to handle.
"These people from the mountains and fields ignored the laws of the country, attacked the imperial city, and injured countless people. All the disciples will be imprisoned in the sky prison and await the emperor's decision." The queen said loudly.
When these monks heard this, their faces looked uglier than death. When had monks ever been treated like this before?
A sect leader said angrily: "Hua Wu Yue, you relied on the power of the immortal sword to marry the emperor. This is against the will of heaven. We can't do anything to you. The leader of the righteous will definitely not sit idly by."
"It's not your turn to interfere in my affairs. Even if it's against the will of heaven, you have no right to intervene. Just wait for the emperor's decision." Hua Wu Yue said coldly.
"Purple Guards, confiscate all the magic weapons of these people, seal their meridians, and put them in the Heavenly Prison with the heaviest shackles." The Queen shouted.
The Purple Guards used silver needles to block the meridians of these seriously injured monks. The Imperial Guards brought heavy iron chains and shackles to lock the hands and feet of these people, and then had them carried to the Heavenly Prison.
Seeing the cultivator who was so arrogant just now end up like this, all the officials felt complicated and looked at Hua Wu Yue with flickering expressions.
At this time, Shangguan Yu was the first to step forward and bow, shouting, "Greetings to the Goddess of Flowers, may you live forever and have boundless magical powers."
Hearing these awkward words, Hua Wu Yue's mouth twitched slightly. This was the first time she heard someone call her like that.
Even Shangguan Rong felt ashamed of her father's words, but she would not lose face for her father in public.
"Queen, I'll go back first." Hua Wu Yue nodded to the officials and turned into white light and flew away.
Now all the officials became lively, and they excitedly talked about what had just happened. The queen shouted, "My lords, if you are not feeling unwell, please continue to attend the court."
"yes."
All the officials responded respectfully. Knowing that there was such a powerful deity in the palace, their previous complaints disappeared instantly and they no longer dared to look down on the royal family. As for whether Lady Baihua was a human or a demon, it was no longer something they could control, and they dared not even mention a word.
At this moment, in an attic far away in the imperial city, the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, Zhu Zihai, and another commander saw this scene, and both of them remained silent for a long time.
After a while, the commander beside him said, "The Jinyiwei will soon find out that this matter was instigated by Sect Leader Cao. The three families cannot fight against Hua Wuyue and will definitely be caught. When the time comes, they will give us away. Then we..."
Zhu Zihai sighed, then smiled and said, "This country needs the Demon Suppression Division, otherwise the world will be in turmoil. If we kill those three people, they won't be able to trace us back.
Human-demon love, now it is the leader of the righteous and the evil, and when this battle between the righteous and the evil is over, it will be their death. We will just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and see how Emperor Qianyuan will play this game. "
"Commander, why do you think Emperor Qianyuan let Hua Wu Yue marry that incompetent emperor? Wouldn't it be better for her to marry him? And it is really puzzling why Hua Wu Yue, with her cultivation level, would agree to this. I think there must be something behind this." The commander said, shaking his head.
"Hua Wu Yue's cultivation is indeed beyond our expectations. Judging from her performance in Qianjing over the years, she has always been disdainful of men. It is indeed strange that she suddenly married an incompetent emperor.
Judging from her current strength, even Emperor Qianyuan is not worthy of her. You are very smart, and it is worth my promotion. "Zhu Zihai looked at him with a smile.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Commander. I will definitely follow you and obey your orders." The commander quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Okay, you come and investigate the relationship between this incompetent emperor and Hua Wu Yue." Zhu Zihai smiled, turned and left.
The commander's face changed. The palace is no longer the same as before. One cannot enter it whenever he wants. Think about Hua Wu Yue's horrific methods. Those sect leaders were killed in seconds. He doesn't even have the qualifications to deliver food.
"Commander-in-chief!" He wanted to refuse, but Zhu Zihai had disappeared. The commander regretted it so much that he slapped himself in the face.
That evening, Zhou An came out of the secret room of Qianyang Palace and just walked into the living room when he saw Shangguan Rong sitting there.
She immediately stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty."
"How come you have time to come to my place at this time? Do you miss me?" Zhou An jokingly sat next to Shangguan Rong, put his arms around her slender waist, smelled her fragrance, and showed an expression of enjoyment.
Shangguan Rong leaned in Zhou An's arms and said affectionately, "Your Majesty, during the morning court today, some righteous sects gathered to attack the palace. Fortunately, Lady Baihua took action and captured all of them. Now they are imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, waiting for your disposal."
Zhou An smiled and said, "Announce this to the world. Three days later, all those who attacked the imperial palace will be publicly beheaded at the execution ground, and the Right Prime Minister will personally supervise the execution."
Shangguan Rong sat up straight in shock and looked at Zhou An, then said: "Your Majesty, those who participated this time are all from mid-level immortal sects, many of whom are leaders. Now that they are imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, their disciples must have begun to gather.
The relationships between the righteous sects are complicated, and those disciples will definitely ask other sects for help. And this time, there are so many immortal cultivators sending out to fight from the imperial palace, which is tantamount to infringing on the interests of the immortal cultivator world, so they will definitely unite.
We will definitely not be able to compete with the righteous people in the world by relying solely on Lady Baihua. If we publicly behead them and offend the righteous people in the world, they will rescue them. Instead, it will damage the majesty of the royal family and will do us no good in any way.
Why not use this opportunity to negotiate with the various sects, ask them to hand over their cultivation methods, and give them a way out. Wouldn't that be better for us? I believe that after this, they will not dare to infringe on the imperial power at will. "
Zhou An smiled and looked at the queen, nodded and said: "The queen is indeed suitable to be an emperor."
Shangguan Rong was startled, and quickly stood up and said, "I dare not, but just speak out my concerns."
"Don't be nervous. I do intend to let you handle state affairs on my behalf, and I just need to practice hard. In this battle between good and evil, both sides are gathering their allies. This time, the good side dare not send too many people, otherwise the evil side will miss such a good opportunity.
Well, three days is too long for them to prepare, so we change it to two days, and then we will publicly execute them two days later. During these two days, let the Purple Guards do everything they can to get the cultivation methods from these dying people, and distribute their magic weapons to the Purple Guards and the Brocade Guards.
I want the world to know that the emperor's authority cannot be violated, not to mention by immortal cultivators, even by gods. "When Zhou An said the last sentence, the emperor's aura emanated, and the fusion of the demon seed and the demon body made his aura more weird and overbearing.
Shangguan Rong felt shocked by this momentum and showed a look of surprise, but Zhou An's momentum was fleeting. He suddenly smiled and hugged Shangguan Rong and said, "The Queen should stay in Qianyang Palace tonight. I haven't been intimate with the Queen for a long time and I miss her."
Seeing the familiar naughty little emperor again, the queen even suspected that she had hallucinated at that moment, but she would remember this feeling forever.
She smiled and said, "It is my concubine's blessing that the emperor favors me."
Zhou An laughed and asked the queen to do her business first and then have dinner together in the evening.
