Chapter 172: Mystery
It's late at night.
Several people acted separately.
Liu Juncheng and Jiang Yi followed Liu An and checked the various clues he found.
Li Shuang and Luo Mingyue secretly investigate the imperial city.
Sui Jin took the initiative to find Ye Zhaozhao to find out the truth.
The imperial city was silent in the dead of night. It happened to be raining heavily, and dark clouds hung over the sky, as if they were about to press down at any moment.
This exploration.
Luo Mingyue is responsible for investigating the current emperor of Chenrong Kingdom: Emperor Chen Lie.
Li Shuang is responsible for checking other areas.
If there is something wrong with Emperor Chen Lie, the people who are most likely to discover that something is wrong with him should be those close to him.
Li Shuang’s primary target was the concubines in the harem.
Emperor Chen Lie did not enter the harem tonight, so most of the concubines went to bed early. The few who had not yet gone to bed became Li Shuang's main focus of observation.
Li Shuang's spiritual awareness spread out and she listened patiently.
From the words of these concubines, we can know that everything was normal before Emperor Chen Lie ascended the throne. After he ascended the throne, he never entered the harem again. For mortals, offspring are very important, not to mention the emperor, but Emperor Chen Lie is now over 30 and has no offspring in the harem. Not only is he not anxious, but he insists on not entering the harem. Even though the previous dynasty was in turmoil, he did not change and continued to do his own thing.
After complaining for a while, these people fell asleep one after another.
Li Shuang's heart couldn't help but hesitate.
It was almost certain that there was something wrong with Emperor Chen Lie, but it was still unknown whether he was the man behind the scenes.
Li Shuang left the residence of the concubines in the harem and quickly checked other places in the palace.
In this harem, apart from the emperor's residence, there is another place that is most heavily guarded.
This place...
It was the tomb of the former emperor.
When she discovered this, Li Shuang was also very surprised.
She was not completely ignorant of the mortal world. Generally speaking, the emperor's tomb would be located in a place with beautiful scenery and excellent feng shui. It would be impossible to place it directly in the palace.
But the late emperor chose to build a tomb in the imperial palace.
Moreover, this absurd decision was implemented and no one questioned it for so many years.
Li Shuang avoided the eyes and ears of the guards outside and went directly into the mausoleum.
The tomb was freezing cold, and the coffin was made of a whole piece of ice stone.
If it was just ice stone, it would not be a big deal. On the coffin, there was a light spot the size of a soybean that kept flowing.
This is……
The Ice Marrow that can only be found in the Millennium Ice Stone! The Ice Marrow is a rare item that is very useful to practitioners in the Spiritualization Stage.
And the person who used this coffin was just a mortal emperor?
Li Shuang had no greed for the ice marrow, but she became more and more curious about the deceased Emperor Chen Yang.
The two generations of emperors of Chenrong Kingdom seemed to have some problems.
Li Shuang walked forward and through the transparent coffin lid, she could see a male body lying in the coffin.
This man was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, he must be the Emperor Chenyang.
Li Shuang thought about it, she waved her hand and carved a barrier to isolate the movement here, then she opened the coffin with an expressionless face.
Li Shuang reached out and touched the body in the coffin.
However, something strange happened.
Her hand actually penetrated through Emperor Chenyang's body and touched the cold bottom of the coffin.
Li Shuang couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
It's an illusion.
There was an illusion array clearly carved in the coffin.
Emperor Chenyang’s body is not here at all.
No.
Maybe I should say.
Emperor Chenyang was not dead at all.
So where is he now? What does he want to do? Where did he find a treasure like the Ice Marrow?
Li Shuang did not destroy this place. She restored everything, carefully cleaned up all traces of her presence, and left quietly.
In the dark night.
Li Shuang quickly searched the entire palace.
There seemed to be no problems elsewhere in the palace, and everything seemed so calm.
It seems that the problem lies with these two emperors.
Li Shuang was just about to turn back when she and Luo Mingyue discovered each other.
Sudden.
She looked at the layout of the palace and her expression changed slightly.
wrong!
This is not right.
In the layout of this imperial city, there are some buildings that look like they are newly built and seem out of place among the other buildings.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If you connect these newly constructed buildings together...
Li Shuang's pupils suddenly shrank.
She remembered that midnight on Central Street, the Blood Evil Body Refining Formation carved by the Bronze Demon Guard.
At that time, the Heaven and Earth Furnace said that this was a simplified version of the Blood Evil Body Refining Formation! The simplified version could only refine the true blood of mortals.
Li Shuang thought that the huge magic formation in the underground kingdom that could refine the true blood of practitioners should be the complete version of the Blood Evil Body Refining Formation.
But now.
Looking at the imperial city in the dark night, her heart began to beat wildly.
wrong.
There’s more to it than that.
She didn't care about anything else and immediately spent resources to exchange for answers from the furnace of heaven and earth.
"Blood Evil Body Refining Formation (Complete Version): It can refine true blood and even more so luck. Within the range of the formation, whether it is the luck of one person or the luck of a country, it can be refined. If the luck of a person is refined, then that person will be destroyed; if the luck of a country is refined, then the country will be destroyed."
The voice of the Crucible of Heaven and Earth is devoid of any emotion.
Li Shuang's heart began to tremble wildly.
She immediately added another question: "Has the formation been formed? If so, how to destroy it?"
"The formation has taken shape and needs to be activated with the blood of the royal family. The formation is now in a dormant state and cannot be forcibly destroyed without a strong spirit refiner. Others who want to destroy the formation need to wait for it to appear. At midnight tomorrow, the stars will rush with blood, the National Emperor Star will appear, and the formation will automatically activate. The moment the formation is activated is also the weakest moment. Find the core of the formation and destroy it, and the formation can be broken."
The Crucible of Heaven and Earth gave the answer.
Li Shuang's heart skipped a beat and she sank to the bottom.
Tomorrow's day!
They always think there is still time.
Unexpectedly.
Tomorrow's day!
At noon tomorrow, this formation covering the entire palace will be activated.
This formation aims to take away the destiny of the people and the entire country.
To take away a person's luck is to destroy that person.
If you take away a country's destiny, you will destroy that country.
If this formation is really activated, the entire Chenrong Kingdom will be plunged into a terrible disaster.
I'm afraid that more than one or two mortals have died for this.
But hundreds of millions!
Li Shuang took a deep breath and instantly disappeared in the rain.
"So, there is really no demonic aura in this imperial city?" Sui Jin asked.
Ye Zhaozhao shook his head: "The Demon-Inducing Bell has not responded, so it should be nothing. Fellow Daoist Sui, I will pour you another glass of wine."
Sui Jin was just trying to give a perfunctory response, when suddenly his eyes changed slightly. He made up an excuse and left.
Ye Zhaozhao looked at his back with a somewhat puzzled expression.
What was Sui Jin doing? Weren't they just chatting happily? Maybe he felt that he had to take things slow? Ye Zhaozhao was not in a hurry. In her opinion, Sui Jin took the initiative to find her, which meant that he had a good impression of her. In this case, it would only be a matter of time to win him over.
"System, you seem to be particularly silent today." Ye Zhaozhao sensed something and suddenly asked.
