Zhou State.
The majestic and huge imperial city is located in the center of the entire country.
The whole structure is over a hundred feet high, suspended in the air by a formation, and connected by ladders and stone planks, but there is no trail leading to the ground below. It looks like a lonely city in its heyday.
There were clouds and mists all around, with cranes flying in the sky and exotic beasts running around. The palace maids coming and going were all beautiful, with more or less cultivation and noble demeanor, as if they were immortal servants in heaven.
Because Ji Chengtian heard that there was a suspended city in Fuli Xianzhou, he thought that the Xuanshen Taoist sect was the leader of the sects in the world, and the Great Zhou under his rule was also the leader of all the countries in the world, so it should be no less prestigious.
He then ordered people to spend decades building this "Emperor Heaven City".
Inside the main hall of the imperial palace, there were only three practitioners paying homage. The atmosphere was solemn. They bowed their heads and trembled slightly, not daring to make a sound.
The cultivation level of these three people is all at the middle third level. One is from the Sanjie Sect, one is from Lingtai Mountain, and one has been loyal to the Liang royal family.
Without exception, they were all people who participated in the battle to destroy Liang.
Lines of gauze curtains hung down, blocking the kneeling worshippers from seeing the emperor, making it even more difficult to guess his intentions.
Ji Chengtian was sitting at the top with his eyes closed, meditating and breathing.
He did not sit on the dragon throne, but simply built a square platform and placed a simple cushion on it.
He himself did not wear a dragon robe, but a simple gray Taoist robe, with a thin and vigorous face of a middle-aged man.
He actually has an immortal air.
He doesn't look like an emperor, but more like a cultivator.
Ji Chengtian held a jade communication slip in his hand, which was flickering with light.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, glanced at the three people kneeling below, and said lightly:
"Kill the incompetent."
But in an instant, a maid took action. The ribbon in her hand turned out to be a magical treasure, which strangled the necks of the three people with a "snap".
These maids all have ethereal figures and graceful bodies, but their attacks are like thunder, and they instantly become murderous judges.
But this is just the beginning.
Since the decision to declare war on the State of Liang, all chess pieces related to it that have lost their function will be cleared out within one hour.
Ji Chengtian originally kept these people in order to track down Chen Kuang's whereabouts.
On that day, when the "Martial Saint" took action, Ji Chengtian naturally had no means of stopping him. In his opinion, the elixir of immortality of unknown origin was most likely with Chu Wenruo and her daughter. He was just a small pawn and could be killed at will.
His backup plan is the "Eternal Life Lock". As long as the Liang Kingdom is still there, he can naturally continue to act.
However, after the situation calmed down for a few days, when the people from the Three Tribulations Sect reported to him, they discovered that all the dragon veins in Liang State had been closed for unknown reasons, and it was no longer possible to draw luck from them.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Su Yu.
Repairing the plank road in public and marching through Chencang in secret.
"National destiny" has been transferred by Su Yu!
But who will take away the "national destiny"?
However, even if he guessed it, what could he do? The person had already crossed the border and entered Yang State... Even Ji Chengtian had to take it slow.
Fortunately, Chen Kuang had very bad luck.
Soon after entering Yang State, he was involved in the rebellion of Prince Jingnan, which caused such a huge commotion that even the saint intervened. In the end, he turned against the emperor.
Ji Chengtian's spies in Yang State immediately received the news.
At the same time, he immediately understood that Chen Kuang, the pawn he thought of as him, was the one who actually took away the elixir of life and the country's destiny!
Ji Chengtian was not angry, but happy instead.
Any chess piece, as long as it is placed in the open, can be manipulated.
This month of going back and forth also made Ji Chengtian see clearly how many incompetent people were under his command.
From today on, the only people who know about the plan of the "Eternal Life Lock" will be the few people Ji Chengtian trusts the most.
This naturally includes his children.
Ji Chengtian sighed and murmured:
"Su Yu... I originally thought he was just a spineless dog, but I didn't expect him to have fangs so early and plan such a move."
His eyes turned cold, and he raised his head, as if wanting to look at the endless sky:
"But unfortunately, this move is not a solitary one."
"Since it's not, then it has a weakness."
Ji Chengtian waved his hand, summoned his assassins, and said with a gentle smile:
"It just so happens that Yan Wei is also in Jishao County and has some friendship with Chen Kuang. He must know exactly how many people there are in Chen Kuang's family. Let's tell him and let him take charge of this matter."
The assassin lowered his head: "Yes."
Then it disappeared.
The rest of the people in the hall were all silent, their hearts filled with fear.
Ji Chengtian already knew that the Second Prince knew Chen Kuang and had some vague intentions of becoming friends with him.
Zhou Yanwei thought he was being careful enough by secretly raising assassins, but in fact Ji Chengtian was just turning a blind eye.
In the past, Ji Chengtian thought he was just a young boy playing around and everything was under his control, so he didn't care.
But now... the eldest prince died in battle in Beiyuan, and Ji Chengtian began to have doubts.
This time, Zhou Yanwei was to personally arrest the Chen family members to provide evidence.
Not long after, there were sudden cries of surprise from outside. Someone ran into the hall, knelt down tremblingly, and said:
"Your Majesty, the 'Martial Saint'... has fallen!"
Ji Chengtian frowned and said, "Tell me in detail."
"yes."
The man simply said, "The Martial Saint fought against the Earth Spirit Dao Monarch. The Earth Spirit Dao Monarch survived and proved his Dao and became a saint. The Martial Saint's Dao heart was broken, and he was defeated step by step, and finally died by self-destruction."
Ji Chengtian knew that things were not that simple.
