Chapter 116: Invisible Plague, Demons in the Human Heart
"grown ups……"
A faint call came from Chu Xuanyi's arms.
Ajiu woke up.
"Ajiu, how do you feel?" Chu Xuanyi immediately lowered his head.
"My head... still hurts a little..." Jiu rubbed his eyes, his little face still pale.
"Sir," she clutched Chu Xuanyi's collar with her small hands, her voice filled with tears, "That Uncle Qian... he didn't lie..."
Chu Xuanyi's eyes narrowed.
Ah Jiu pointed with his little hand in the direction where Censor Qian was being dragged away, his little body trembling. "There really is a huge black spider on top of his head...bigger...bigger than a table...with so many legs...all trying to drill into his head..."
She turned her head and looked around.
The world before my eyes turned into an extremely terrifying picture.
The dry well that was blasted open was the source of all disasters.
Streams of thick, inky black air were continuously emerging from it, spreading in all directions like octopus tentacles.
Each of the Black Armor Guards who had just come into contact with the black fog had some thin black silk threads wrapped around their bodies to varying degrees. These silk threads seemed to have life and were desperately trying to drill into their seven orifices.
Even...
Ajiu's gaze fell on Xiao Yu who was giving orders not far away.
"Brother Xiongxiong..." she murmured softly.
There were also a few wisps of faint black air floating above Xiao Yu's head.
But around Brother Xiongxiong's body, there was a very, very bright layer of red-gold light like a flame. It was the protective energy formed by his own extremely powerful blood and murderous aura.
As soon as the black air approached, it was burned by the red-gold light with a sizzling sound and could not get close at all.
But even so, there is still a trace of the faintest black air that is constantly trying to penetrate.
In her eyes, the entire Prince Yu's Mansion had turned into a pond polluted by black ink.
Countless black air currents were rapidly spreading to every corner of the capital city along the lines under the ground that she could not understand.
The black smoke gathered together and slowly, slowly, dyed the brilliant golden light that originally enveloped the capital, representing the country's destiny, with a dirty, gray color.
Just like what she had seen when she was unconscious before... that huge, rotten piece of black cotton.
"Sir..." Ah Jiu's voice was filled with unprecedented fear, "Outside...outside is full of...let's run...it's too dirty in here..."
"I can't run away."
Chu Xuanyi gently stroked her hair, his voice low and powerful, "Don't be afraid, Jiu, I'm here. What we need to do now is not to run away, but to clean up all these dirty things."
He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu with an extremely serious expression.
"Xiao Yu, I leave this to you. I need to return to the observatory immediately and contact all my colleagues in Beijing! The Netherworld Qi has already spread through the earth veins. It's meaningless to seal off Prince Yu's Mansion!"
"What do you need me to do?" Xiao Yu asked immediately.
"With the Imperial City as the center, I will deploy the 'Nine Palaces Solidifying Essence Formation' to forcibly stabilize the capital's earth veins and do my best to slow the spread of the Netherworld Qi!" Chu Xuanyi spoke rapidly, "But I need time and absolute cooperation! While I'm setting up the formation, the defense of the capital depends entirely on you!"
"Don't worry!" Xiao Yu said firmly, "From this moment on, the nine gates of the capital, as well as the inner and outer defenses, will all be under my control! I will order martial law throughout the city, and before dawn, everything will be under control to the smallest possible extent!"
"good!"
Chu Xuanyi said no more. He held Ajiu in his arms, moved his body, and instantly soared into the sky, rushing towards the direction of the imperial city!
The most terrifying thing about the Netherworld Energy is not its destructive power, but its penetrating power.
It is invisible and intangible, and is best at stirring up the darkest side of people's hearts—fear, anger, jealousy, greed...
When one Censor Qian falls, there will soon be a second, a third...
The Observatory was the metaphysical center of the Great Qi Dynasty.
This ancient building, standing on the top of the imperial city and towering into the clouds, is now shrouded in unprecedented solemnity and awe.
When Chu Xuanyi, holding Ajiu, landed on the central Baguaping of the observatory like a golden meteor, the director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and several white-haired elders of the observatory who had been waiting there for a long time all changed their expressions.
"Master Imperial Master!"
"You... the one in your arms is... Miss Jiu?"
"Such... Such a heavy aura of death! Imperial Master, what on earth happened?!"
These people are the pillars of the Da Qi metaphysical world, with profound cultivation. They can see at a glance the lingering cold and evil aura lingering around Chu Xuanyi and Ajiu.
"To cut a long story short!" Chu Xuanyi's face was as gloomy as water. "Prince Yu colluded with the remnants of the Wugut Clan and secretly hid the extremely evil object 'Heart of the Netherworld' beneath the palace! Just now, the seal was triggered, and the Netherworld energy has leaked out and spread throughout the capital's underground veins!"
When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked!
"What?!"
"Heart of the Netherworld?! Isn't that the legendary world-destroying object that was completely sealed away by the ancestors of the Lin family long ago?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Yu...how dare he! Is he crazy?!"
An old man with white hair and beard stretched out his slightly trembling hands and counted with his fingers. Then his face turned pale as paper and he almost vomited blood.
"It's over... The dragon in the capital is turning over, the dragon energy is shaking, and the death energy in Kun is rising... This is... This is a sign of overthrow!"
"It's not over yet!" Chu Xuanyi's voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
"Now is not the time to panic! Immediately pass on my order to gather all practitioners in the capital. Use the Imperial City as the center of the formation and activate the 'Nine Palaces Solidifying Essence Formation'! No matter what, we must first lock down the capital's earth veins to slow the spread of the Netherworld Qi!"
"Yes! I obey your command!"
Everyone did not dare to delay and immediately dispersed, with rays of communication talismans rising into the sky.
Chu Xuanyi carried Ah Jiu to the edge of the observatory. He gently placed the frail Ah Jiu on a jade couch and covered her with his outer robe.
From here, you can overlook the entire brightly lit capital city.
"Sir," Ajiu whispered, "Can the formation we set up stop all those evil black creatures?"
Chu Xuanyi was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly.
"I can't stop it," he said calmly. "The Nine Palaces Solidifying Essence Formation is like bandaging a wound on a severely injured person. It can only temporarily stop the bleeding, but it can't heal the internal injuries. The netherworld energy has already polluted the earth veins, just like poison entering the blood. If we don't find an antidote and completely eradicate the source of the poison, the capital... and even the entire Da Qi will sooner or later rot from the root."
"Antidote..." Jiu murmured, seemingly understanding.
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from afar, and Xiao Yu's tall figure, with a murderous aura that had not yet dissipated, landed on the observatory.
