The order of the Divine Capital was being blocked layer by layer. In the end, even some independent cultivators could feel the calm and depression before the storm.
One after another...
Thirty aristocratic families, big and small, were plowed by the Xionglong Guards, and all the monks who dared to resist were suppressed and killed.
Those who surrendered were taken into custody one by one, and it was said that the prison suddenly became lively.
"I have never witnessed such a massive killing calamity in the Divine Capital."
Although Butler Zhao had a broad vision, he was still a little frightened. The murderous intent of the Longxiong Guards was too strong, and they were targeting a wealthy and powerful family with a long history.
"Wasn't there something similar before?"
Jiang Ming thought of an old story. When the Xionglong Guard was first formed, they swept across the land, cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and crushed all kinds of powerful people. How happy and carefree they were.
In the end, this turmoil came to an abrupt end with the death of Emperor Yuanliang and the disappearance of the imperial teacher.
“Not to that extent.”
Mo Huan whispered.
If that time really comes, the direction of the situation will be unpredictable, and the Yuanliang Dynasty may suddenly undergo earth-shaking changes.
"It's going to be a big fuss, and it's not going to end well."
Jiang Ming had experienced more, especially the quarrels among brothers, which left a deep impression on him and inevitably left him with a hint of pessimism.
"Is there already chaos outside?"
In the storage room, Chen Sheng felt that the imperial city, and even the entire divine capital, was lingering with a hint of anxiety.
As the will of Emperor Yuanliang was implemented, the Xionglong Guards were in full swing and turmoil was inevitable.
Emotions of confusion, bewilderment, and fear permeated the Divine Capital, and even high-level cultivators could not ignore them.
"call"
Mr. Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air, calmed his mind, and began to practice the health-preserving sutra.
He did not just meditate and cultivate his Qi, he would sometimes swallow medicinal pills. As the Zi Ling Hall prospered, Fuling would bring him massive amounts of resources every once in a while. For a Nascent Soul cultivator, this was enough for his daily squandering.
He was practicing quietly here, but outside there was never a moment of peace. A storm radiated outward from the Divine Capital in all directions. As the territory lengthened, the situation became even more dizzy in places far away from the emperor.
Moreover, the most distinguished person of the Yuanliang Dynasty named dozens of people, all of whom were from prestigious clans, and asked them to come and apologize.
As a result, the situation became increasingly tense and irreconcilable.
Hunter Moon Island.
Mi family.
Here, palaces are connected in clusters, and the air is filled with spiritual energy. The monks coming in and out have handsome faces and gorgeous robes, just like immortals.
The Mi family mansion in the capital is already extremely magnificent, but compared to this, it is still nothing.
"Master, what does Emperor Yuanliang mean?"
A young man in a gorgeous robe came over. He was a calm man, but now his mood was extremely turbulent.
He was a high-ranking member of the Mi family, and upon learning of the edict issued by Emperor Yuanliang, he was almost declaring war.
"Isn't it clear?"
The head of the Mi family is a middle-aged man with noble manners named Mi Ang. He has calm eyes, as if he regards everyone as worthless, and is extremely peaceful.
"He dared to attack us. He has lived in seclusion in the deep palace for many years. Is he confident that he can dominate the world?"
The young man said excitedly: "Even if he swallowed the 314th level Divine Transformation Pill, he would only have Divine Transformation level combat power at most."
He knew that Emperor Yuanliang had refined a precious elixir some time ago, which was extremely valuable, but it was too arrogant to pin his hopes on becoming invincible after a breakthrough.
"I will ask the ancestor for instructions."
Mi Ang said calmly.
This point is indeed worth pondering. Qin Lin is not a fool. After retreating for many years, he finally stepped out from behind the scenes and showed an uncompromising face, which makes it difficult for people to despise him.
He did not delay too long. After the young man left, he came to an elegant hill, which was specially built with the essence of a sacred mountain cut off and transported here as the secluded place of the ancestor of the Mi family.
"The Yuanliang royal family is full of crazy people."
When the ancestor of the Mi family met Mi Ang, he did not hide his true feelings. The father and son of the Qin family were both stubborn people. They refused to keep their distance and insisted on turning the world upside down.
These monks seek immortality, and they don't need to care too much about anything as insignificant as ants or grass.
Those laws should not have existed from the beginning to the end. Trying to let the lower level influence the will of the upper level only proves that Qin Zheng and others are fools.
"Ancestor, how should we respond?"
Mi Ang listened quietly, and waited for the old ancestor to vent before asking about the next arrangements.
"He asked me to go, so how could I not go?"
The ancestor of the Mi family must go. Although staying still can avoid unknown dangers, he is proud and not afraid of Qin Lin's calculations.
"Then I will contact each family and rush to the capital."
Mi Ang did not refute this decision. They were all proud people, and even Emperor Yuan Liang could not make them retreat.
The Thirteen Continents and the Twelve Surnames are the uncrowned kings of this ancient land.
“That’s as it should be.”
Of course, fearlessness does not mean recklessness. The ancestor of the Mi family will not go to the capital alone, but will gather the forces of secret dissatisfaction to change the situation again.
…
Shenzhou, Qi family.
This is a great clan that is as famous as the Mi clan of Lieyuezhou. They occupied a piece of land with spiritual veins, and built a large-scale structure that looks like a palace in heaven.
In a huge palace, there were two old men sitting there. They had fair faces and silver hair that fell like clouds, and they did not look old at all.
"Ancestor, there is a letter from the Mi family of Lieyuezhou."
Outside, the head of the Qi family came, bowed, and held the letter in both hands. It was the latest news of the Mi family, and it was also stamped with the aura of the Mi family's ancestor. He did not dare to make a decision easily.
"It's really daunting to rush to that sacred city again."
Among the two old men, one named "Qi Xuanzheng" grabbed the letter and it unfolded in front of him. Seeing that the ancestor of the Mi family intended to rush to the capital, he thought of some dangerous scenes in his mind and couldn't help but have a headache.
"alright……"
Another person, named Qi Tianhong, was not afraid and said, "Qin Zheng is dead, the national teacher is missing, the situation is very clear, he is seeking his own death."
Back then, no matter how powerful Qin Zheng was, he still defeated them. Now, no matter what they do, they are not afraid of Qin Lin's rebellion.
"The dust has not settled yet, and nothing is known."
Qi Xuan was shaking his head. The Qin father and son were stubborn but also powerful. Qin Lin had been living in seclusion for many years, and once he took action, it would definitely be earth-shattering.
He, like the ancestor of the Mi family, called on his friends just to share the risk. The trip to the Divine Capital was unavoidable. Since the Supreme of the Imperial City intended to fight with these nobles, then let them fight again.
…
Washing clothes lane.
"Master, why are you back?"
Mo Huan and Jiang Ming were discussing the atmosphere of the Divine Capital in Chen Sheng's yard. They were a little surprised to see the real owner return, as it was not yet time for the month-end holiday.
"Come and take a look, it feels like even the gods will get confused."
Mr. Chen was guarding the storage room, and the longer he sat there, the more distracting thoughts he had. He was worried that the people in the yard might get hurt, so he came over to make arrangements.
"You got some news."
Jiang Ming asked.
“There is no concrete news, but unrest is certain.”
Mr. Chen knew that a war was inevitable. Qin Lin was determined, and the various forces were intertwined and powerful. Once they came into conflict, it would be very scary.
He also instructed, "Butler Zhao, during this period of time, you should go to Zi Ling Tang and not stay alone in the courtyard. Also, tell Fu Ling and the others to be ready to respond to any crisis that arises at any time."
Zi Ling Tang is already a strong force in the Divine Capital. After all, with his reputation in charge and a group of alchemists such as Fuling running the place, it is very convenient for it to collect various resources and it also has the fighting power to match.
"Boss, you should stay in the Imperial City. You should be safe there."
Butler Zhao did not try to be stubborn. He said something and simply went to Zi Ling Tang. The longer he lived, the better he would be able to guard the household for his master.
"Mo Huan, come with me to guard the storage room."
Chen Sheng glanced at his two friends, made a decision, and said, "Jiang Ming, you must come with us."
There is still no news from Mo Huan's uncle. He is alone outside without much support, so it would be better for him to go back with him to guard the storage room. As for Jiang Ming, as the son of the Marquis of Runan, it will not be a problem for him to find a safe place.
"Let's go together."
Jiang Ming said directly.
Compared to staying in the Runan Marquis Mansion, he would rather stay in the storage room, chatting with his two good friends and spending time relaxingly.
"boom"
On this day, the capital of the gods was completely blocked. There was a brief chaos, but it was suppressed.
At night, the settlements of various tribes that had been destroyed by the Longxiong Guards reappeared, like immortal palaces that appeared out of nowhere, with auspicious colors rising into the sky and illuminating all directions.
"Come back..."
"They must not be insulted!"
"Another big war? It's too dangerous."
In the capital of gods, there were many well-informed people. When they saw the ruins of prominent families everywhere glowing with brilliance, as if silently announcing something, they generally knew that something had happened.
"I'm here!"
The place where the Supreme Emperor resides is surrounded by numerous palaces and is as high as the clouds. Qin Lin also saw the reactions of his enemies. He felt neither sad nor happy and waited for their arrival.
"boom"
At night, the palace was attacked. Mysterious monks spread like a tide and touched the magic circle. It was like waves hitting rocks. The movement was shocking. Immediately, the entire palace revived like a prehistoric beast, revealing its terrifying power.
“Clatter…”
One formation after another started to operate, with light shooting up into the sky and illuminating every dark place. A large number of Dragon Guards rushed over, like a golden torrent, unstoppable.
They are speechless, but when they appear, it seems as if they are silently declaring that this is their territory.
"Bang"
The force that invaded the palace encountered obstacles and could not break through. Instead, it was crushed bit by bit by the Longxiong Guards.
The power directly controlled by Emperor Yuanliang once again showed its unparalleled style. They were all elites of the same level and were unstoppable.
"boom"
At this moment, the situation took a turn. It was a terrifying giant hand with palm lines like mountains and five fingers like sacred mountains. It contained terrifying power and wiped out hundreds of Longxiong Guard monks and tore open a corner of the defense line.
Then...
An old figure appeared majestically between heaven and earth, with a defiant look in his eyes and an arrogant face, overlooking the huge imperial city.
"Qin Lin, I'm here."
The ancestor of the Mi family spoke loudly.
Qin Lin took the lead in attacking the Mi family, which was the most targeted move. He couldn't avoid it and could only deal with it head-on.
"The Mi family of Lieyuezhou, how dare they!"
Under the golden mask, Longxiongwei's expression turned into resentment. He wished he could ride on his war beast, march out of Shendu, and destroy the Mi family in Lieyuezhou to the ground.
“Bold!”
A scolding voice rang out.
Then...
A vicious knife came out, black with a hint of red, and the knife energy was scarlet, as if it was drawn from blood, containing terrifying attacking and killing power, capable of killing anyone who stood in its way.
The ancestor of the Mi family retreated three steps, and then saw an old soldier coming out. His armor was torn and his hair was dry. The only thing he had was a pair of cold eyes full of murderous intent.
"People from the border town!"
The Mi family ancestor saw through the man's true colors and persuaded him to surrender, saying, "Why bother working for that tyrant? We have high cultivation levels, so we should be high above others and free to do whatever we want."
These powerful men in the border towns all walked out of piles of dead bodies. They have amazing offensive power and are very difficult to deal with as enemies of the same level.
"How can someone like you understand the righteousness of the people?"
Gu Fang sneered. In his whole life, he had killed enemies, defended his country, and earned all the resources for cultivation cleanly. He despised these thieves who stole the country.
"clang"
He drew his sword and slashed down, and a bloody glow was shocking. In the dark sky, it was still bright and scary, as if there was a river of blood rushing in the sky, and thousands of wronged souls were roaring inside.
“Bullshit.”
The ancestor of the Mi family sneered and did not agree with the values of such natural nobles as them at all.
He cursed softly, clenched his five fingers, stretched out his arms, like a sky bow stretched to its limit, and suddenly struck out, with rolling spiritual energy whistling and crushing the knife light.
“Boom…”
Two Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection cultivators fought with all their might, like a confrontation between gods and demons, capturing all the splendor. On the ground in the imperial city, the fight between the Longxiong Guards and the mysterious cultivator was equally thrilling.
"town!"
Gu Fang made hand gestures and attracted some of the dynasty's luck. The worn armor emitted a divine light and his eyes were sharp, like a killing god.
He threw out a huge seal, and the heaven and earth shook violently. All directions were bound and suppressed towards the ancestor of the Mi family.
"Bang"
Mi Jia pulled out a jade ruler that was covered with runes. It was a powerful fourth-tier magic weapon. He hit the attacking seal with it, shattering it.
"kill"
Gu Fang attacked aggressively, his eyes were like knives, his body was as swift as a black wind, and his punch was not too majestic, but extremely concise and sharp.
Because this is a move honed among the dead, abandoning everything for the purpose of killing.
"puff"
The ancestor of the Mi family took a step back, but with just this one step, his momentum was suppressed by Gu Fang. His fist was as powerful as a black mountain pressing down on him, making him spit blood and retreat.
"The monks in the border towns are difficult to deal with."
The ancestor of the Mi family wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and became more and more certain that the attacks of these monks from the border towns were brutal and domineering.
"clang"
Gu Fang was speechless, holding a black knife, and killed them. It was like a sea of blood and corpses, and the spiritual energy became sticky and fierce.
As he chopped down with his sword, it turned into blood and fire, and attacked the ancestor of the Mi family like an overwhelming force.
The ancestor of the Mi family became furious.
"If it really comes down to a life-and-death fight, I won't be weaker than you. I just don't want to end up in a fight where both of us get hurt. Now that you're aggressive, let's fight to the death."
