Chapter 163: Dim Lights Illuminating the Snow, a Desperate Bet
"Her soul has been dragged into a deep nightmare, created by the most sinister and evil forces! Ordinary methods of calming the mind can no longer touch her essence!" Chu Xuanyi's voice was filled with anxiety, "Quick...quickly go and fetch the prince!"
"Brother..."
At this moment, Ah Jiu, who was trapped in the depths of a nightmare, seemed to feel something. He used all his strength to squeeze out a few broken syllables with a crying tone from his throat.
"It hurts...vines...black..."
"Digging..."
"My heart... hurts..."
A drop of hot tears fell from the corner of her eye.
The golden light around her suddenly dimmed to the extreme the moment this tear fell!
It seemed as if it would be completely extinguished in the next second!
"Bang--!!!"
At this critical moment!
The door of the quiet room was kicked open by someone from outside!
A black figure, filled with overwhelming coldness and murderous intent, rushed to the bed like a flash of black lightning!
It’s Xiao Yu!
He was originally in the study, feeling upset and inexplicably inclined to visit the Imperial Master's residence.
But the closer he got to the Imperial Master's Mansion, the stronger the uneasiness in his heart became!
Until, he saw the faint golden light rising into the sky above this quiet room, but it was shaky and seemed to be about to go out at any time!
"Ajiu!"
Xiao Yu looked at the little girl struggling in pain on the bed, and his cold phoenix eyes were instantly replaced by a blood red!
Without thinking, he walked around the stunned disciples of the Imperial Master, knelt on one knee beside the bed, and grabbed Ajiu's cold little hand!
"Ajiu! The King is here!!"
His voice was trembling and panicking!
"Xiongxiong...Brother..."
She seemed to sense that familiar breath, which was prickly but made her feel extremely at ease.
Ah Jiu's violent convulsions miraculously subsided a little.
She still had her eyes closed, but was still murmuring unconsciously.
"West Mountain...it's so dark..."
"So many...so many vines...sucking..."
"That bad guy... Prince Yu... he's not dead..."
"He's digging out... a really big... heart..."
Intermittent and broken words came out of Ajiu's mouth.
Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiao Yu's heart hard!
Xishan!
vine!
King Yu!
heart!
In an instant, that scribbled map, Yun Shen's speculation about "reversing the Seven Star Soul Locking Formation", and Ah Jiu's current nightmare...
All the clues were connected completely in Xiao Yu's mind with a bang!
He finally realized what he had overlooked!
He finally knew what the remnants of the Wugut tribe were doing!
They are not giving birth to new evil hearts!
They are... resurrecting!
The resurrected one, after being sacrificed by Prince Yu, should have been completely dead...
The devilish body of the Wugut elder!!!
"Xuan Yi!"
Xiao Yu turned around suddenly, his blood-red eyes fixed on Chu Xuanyi who had just been helped up by his disciples!
"Immediately gather all disciples, with the Imperial Master's Mansion as the center, and set up the 'Nine Palaces Locking Heaven Formation'! This king demands that you, at all costs, protect the capital, and protect...Ajiu's soul!"
Chu Xuanyi nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Yu slowly stood up.
He lowered his head, glanced at the little girl on the bed who was still tormented by nightmares, reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
However, when he raised his head and faced the door again, the expression on his handsome face was that of devastation...
A murderous intent!
He gave orders to Xuan Yi who was outside the door.
"Send a message to the Black Armor Army!"
"Within a quarter of an hour, block all entrances and exits to West Mountain!"
"After one stick of incense... follow me..."
“Tu-shan-!!!”
Xuan Yi's heart suddenly jumped! In an instant, it was replaced by a bloodthirsty frenzy!
"Subordinate, obey your command!"
Without any hesitation, he clasped his fists and accepted the order!
The Black Armor Army, the sharpest butcher knife of Dayan, once unsheathed, will surely bring rivers of blood and mountains of corpses!
"Your Majesty... Wait a minute..."
At this moment, a faint, trembling voice sounded.
Xiao Yu turned around abruptly.
"Xuan Yi?"
Chu Xuanyi's clear yet extremely weak eyes stared at Xiao Yu.
“Cough… cough cough…”
A violent coughing fit gave his already pale face an abnormal flush.
"Master! Stop talking! Your origin..." Yun Shen was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
"It's okay..." Chu Xuanyi waved his hand, signaling him to be quiet, but his eyes never left Xiao Yu.
"Your Highness... Ah Jiu...saw..."
"...It's not a dream...it's...it's real..."
Prince Yu is not dead! The elders of the Wugu tribe are about to be resurrected! They are performing an extremely evil ritual in the West Mountain, using the entire earth veins of the capital!
"Ahem... The Heart of the Underworld... was sealed deep underground, but... but it and the clan elder's demonic body were originally one..." Chu Xuanyi's breathing became more and more rapid, but he still persisted.
"They... they used Prince Yu's residual soul as a lure... to reverse the Seven Star Soul Locking Formation, absorbing the dark and evil energy from the capital's earth veins... ahem... their goal wasn't as simple as resurrecting the clan elders..."
"They... intend to use the clan elder's demonic body as... a 'key' and 'container'... to forcibly... awaken the sealed... Netherworld Heart!"
"Once... once the demon heart awakens... the seal beneath the capital city... will... will completely collapse! At that time... the entire capital city, millions of lives... will instantly... become... nourishment... for the demon heart!"
"This... this is their real... plot!"
After he finished speaking, Chu Xuanyi's vision went dark and he almost fainted again.
"Master!" the disciples exclaimed.
Xiao Yu took two steps at a time and walked to the bed, then leaned over and stared at Chu Xuanyi.
"Can you still fight?"
This is an extremely cruel question.
A bitter smile appeared on Chu Xuanyi's face.
He tried to raise his hand, but found that the hand that once could change the weather and draw talismans and set up formations, now felt as heavy as a thousand pounds even if he raised it even a little bit.
"Your Majesty...you also saw it..."
"I've burned through my Dao bones, and my very essence has been damaged... Now, I'm nothing more than... a cripple. Forget about casting spells, even trying to divine the mysteries of the universe would be instantly backfired, and my soul would be completely destroyed."
He paused and turned his gaze to Jiu, who was still unconsciously groaning in pain on the small bed.
His eyes were filled with pity and heartache.
"Ajiu... her condition... is even worse than mine. She's using her own divine blood as a guide, overdrawing the power of her entire bloodline. Now, she's like an empty shell... emptied of all her treasures. Forget about helping me, just being able to save her life is already... a great blessing."
“We are now…”
"...I can only rely on you, Your Highness... and these... useless disciples."
quiet.
Deathly silent.
Chu Xuanyi's words were like a basin of cold water, completely extinguishing the glimmer of hope that had just ignited in everyone's hearts!
The strongest national teacher is useless.
The most mysterious fortune teller is useless.
Now the only ones who can save the capital are this decisive and ruthless regent and a group of young disciples from the Observatory!
How can we fight this war?
