Chapter 115: The Netherworld Leaks, the Capital's Disaster
"Chu Xuanyi! Xiao Yu! Enjoy the gifts I have prepared for you! When I return, you will die and your clan will be destroyed!"
A cold and vicious voice came from deep inside the passage.
Then, the secret door slammed shut with a bang!
"Asshole!"
Xiao Yu roared angrily and slashed with his sword. The violent sword energy slashed fiercely on the tightly closed secret door, but only left a faint white mark.
The entire stone gate is made of an unknown hard material and is integrated with the mountain!
"My lord...my lord..."
At this moment, Ajiu in Chu Xuanyi's arms suddenly let out a painful groan.
"Ajiu? Are you awake?" Chu Xuanyi immediately looked down.
Ajiu closed his eyes tightly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his whole body was trembling slightly unconsciously, as if he was suffering great pain.
"Head...head hurts..."
Her little mouth murmured unconsciously, the sound intermittent.
"The sky... the sky is all black... like... like rotten cotton... so dirty... so dirty..."
After saying this nonsense, her little head tilted and she fainted again.
Chu Xuanyi held Ajiu's hand and suddenly tightened it!
He suddenly looked up and looked towards the capital.
Others didn't understand, but he instantly understood what Jiu meant!
Rotten cotton...that is the most vivid metaphor for bad luck and the breeding of evil spirits!
What Ajiu saw was not this small underground cave, but the fortune over the entire capital city!
The Netherworld energy that leaked out from the stone gate has already... already spread out!
"Xiao Yu! Don't worry about them! We have to get out immediately!" Chu Xuanyi's voice was more serious and urgent than ever before. "Something happened in the capital!"
Although Xiao Yu didn't understand what he meant, seeing Chu Xuanyi's extremely serious expression, he knew that the situation was out of control. He made a quick decision and immediately ordered: "Everyone, evacuate immediately! Quickly!"
The group did not dare to stay any longer. Under Chu Xuanyi's protective shield, they rushed out of the dry well entrance in a panic.
When they returned to the West Garden of Prince Yu's Mansion, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
In the short time of less than an incense stick since they entered the underground, the entire West Garden, which was originally deserted, has now completely turned into a dead place!
All the weeds and trees were withered and charred, as if burned by an invisible fire. Several night insects that had been roosting in the grass lay dead on the ground, their bodies a strange blue-black.
The evil and cold aura in the air was much weaker than in the cave. It penetrated into everyone's mouth and nose, making people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
"What the hell is this thing..." Censor Qian's lips trembled with fear as he looked at the horrifying scene in front of him.
Outside the palace, the faint sound of dogs barking could be heard, their voices filled with fear and anxiety. Then came the cries and shouts from some people. Although faint, they were particularly piercing in the silent night.
The strange phenomenon has begun to spread in the capital!
Xiao Yu's face was extremely ugly.
He suddenly turned around and looked at the entrance of the dry well where black air was still emitting. He then looked at Ajiu who was unconscious in his arms and Chu Xuanyi with a serious expression. A huge sense of crisis came over him like a landslide or tsunami.
He realized a terrible truth.
Prince Yu and that old demon successfully released a disaster that was enough to destroy everything from that door!
"Xuan Yi," Xiao Yu's voice was hoarse and dry, "Now...what should I do?"
Chu Xuanyi raised his head and looked towards the direction of the capital. Strands of black air invisible to the naked eye were rising from deep underground, like a giant net that was slowly being woven, completely covering this prosperous city with millions of lives.
"The Heart of the Netherworld has been awakened. Although only a trace of its aura has been leaked, it has already passed through the earth veins and contaminated the entire capital."
His voice was cold and calm, yet it made everyone present feel as if they were falling into an icy cave.
Xiao Yu is not a cultivator, he doesn't understand what earth veins and luck are.
But he understood war and plague.
Understand that once an invisible panic spreads, its destructive power is far greater than that of thousands of troops!
"Someone come!"
He turned around suddenly, and on his handsome face, only the iron-blooded calmness and decisiveness of the Northern God of War remained.
"Yes! Your Highness!" Several black-armored guards endured their physical discomfort and immediately stepped forward to receive orders.
"Immediately seal off the entire Prince Yu's Mansion! All blocks within a five-mile radius! No one is allowed to enter, but no one is allowed to leave!"
"Your Highness, this..." A Black Armor Guard commander looked troubled. "This is in the heart of the capital. Such a large-scale action would probably shock the whole government and cause panic among the people!"
"Panic?" Xiao Yu sneered. "If we don't control it now, when everyone in the city becomes as crazy as Censor Qian, that's when we'll be in a real panic! I will personally go to the palace and explain everything to my brother!"
He turned his gaze to Chu Xuanyi, and asked in a questioning tone: "Xuanyi, what do you think?"
Chu Xuanyi nodded gently and added, "Announce to the public that Prince Yu has suddenly contracted a serious illness that is contagious. As a precaution, he has been temporarily isolated. As for the servants in the mansion, they should also be taken under control and checked one by one."
"Alright!" Xiao Yu immediately ordered his subordinates, "Let's do as the Imperial Master says! Remember, the news must be completely suppressed! Anyone who leaks the news will be killed without mercy! Go!"
"Yes, sir!"
The black armor guards took the order and left.
The entire Prince Yu's Mansion was surrounded by people in just a quarter of an hour.
And in this moment of chaos, something happened to Censor Qian, who had been ignored by everyone.
He had been held aside by Xiao Yu's personal guards, and had been trembling all over and muttering to himself, but no one could hear what he was saying.
But just as the Black Armor Guards began to cordon off the scene, he suddenly broke free from his restraints and jumped up, like a cat whose tail was stepped on!
"Ghost! There's a ghost!"
Censor Qian's eyes were red, his hair was disheveled, he pointed at the empty air and screamed hysterically!
"Can't you see?! There are so many! So many black shadows! They... they are crawling! Crawling towards us!"
He acted like a madman, dancing and slapping his body, as if he was really covered in some invisible dirt.
"Master Qian! Calm down!" A captain of the imperial guards tried to step forward and comfort him.
"Don't come over!" Censor Qian retreated in fear, staring at the captain with bloodshot eyes. "You... there's one right above your head! It's huge! It's lying there like a spider! Its legs... its legs are about to reach into your ears! Run!"
The captain's scalp tingled at his words, and he subconsciously touched his head. Although he didn't feel anything, he felt a chill on his back.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yu shouted sternly, "He's been invaded by evil spirits and has lost his mind! Come, tie him up and take him away! Lock him up in an absolutely airtight room and keep him under strict guard. No one is allowed to come in contact with him!"
"yes!"
Several brave imperial guards immediately rushed forward, and together they pinned the frantically struggling Censor Qian to the ground and tied him up tightly with ropes.
"Let me go! You idiots! You're all going to die! We're all going to die! Hahahaha!"
When Censor Qian was dragged away, he was still laughing wildly. His laughter was shrill and desperate, and it made everyone present feel creepy.
