Although the emperor is highly skilled, who can guarantee that he will be alright in this earth-shattering explosion?
At this moment, in the Hall of Reception halfway up the mountain, the officials were originally standing respectfully, but since the emperor was not there, they were just going through the motions and chatting privately via telepathy.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and even the tiles of the entire Reception Hall kept falling down, with dust flying everywhere.
Many people instinctively screamed in alarm, while Zu An swatted away several tiles and tightly protected Xie Daoyun beside him.
After a while, everyone ran out of the reception hall and looked in the direction of the explosion.
Flames shot skyward from the golden roof, billowing thick smoke billowing into the air. Everyone's expression changed: "Your Majesty!"
Led by Bi Qi and others, they rushed towards the top of the mountain.
As Zu An looked at the situation at the Golden Summit, a thought suddenly struck him. Yun Jianyue had mentioned before that the Seventh Gold Medalist seemed to be investigating a batch of missing gunpowder. The gunpowder disappeared near Purple Mountain, and it was very likely that it was hidden by some important figure in the Zheng Yang Sect. So it was used here.
Zhang Zijiang and Wang Bolin, who had been so excited, turned pale and muttered to themselves, "It's over, it's over!"
They were tasked with checking for potential hazards in Zishan in advance, but such a huge mistake has occurred. They will definitely face the calamity of having their families wiped out.
At this moment, a series of angry shouts suddenly came from the other side. It turned out that Bi Qi and other ministers were blocked by the formation in front of them, and they were all angrily rebuking the disciples of Zhengyang Sect for what they were doing.
The Zhengyang Sect disciples remained silent and disappeared after activating the formation.
Xie Daoyun exclaimed in surprise, saying with great regret, "Oh dear, this is the Zhengyang Sect's protective mountain formation. Although I noticed it before, I never thought of it in this way."
Zu An patted her hand to comfort her. This matter was indeed not her fault. Who would have thought that the upright and loyal Zhengyang Sect would use the mountain-protecting formation to sever the connection between the emperor and his civil and military officials?
He looked towards the Golden Summit and thought to himself, "No wonder I thought Wang Wuxie was a bit strange before. It turns out he was planning to take action against the Emperor."
However, he was far too audacious. Although his cultivation was high, he was no match for Zhao Hao. It was unknown who his helpers were this time.
With such a large amount of gunpowder, I wonder if it can kill that old bastard Zhao Hao.
