Under the leadership of Changsun Jian, everyone came outside the palace one after another, only to see dozens of golden-armored guards under the command of Lord Xi, confronting a group of cultivators who came from nowhere, and their swords were at war.
The golden armor on Lord Xi's body is shining brightly, and all the golden armored guards under his command have reached the realm of Tianlun. In the whole Daqian, they can be regarded as a very powerful force.
However, there were nearly a thousand cultivators from all walks of life on the opposite side. Standing on the square in front of the palace, they were so densely packed and powerful that they completely suppressed the Jinjiawei in terms of their aura.
And among these thousands of people, there are even more powerful auras that can only be possessed by more than twenty spiritual masters.
So many violent and domineering auras enveloped the main hall, and the atmosphere in the entire imperial city suddenly became a lot more solemn, as if a storm was about to come, and black clouds were pressing down on the city, making everyone present feel heavy. got up.
"so much!"
The faces of Changsun Jian and others suddenly became very ugly. Even General Xue, who had always been carefree and fearless, had a serious expression, without any smile on his face.
It should be noted that among the courtiers present, only Midnight General Zeng Rui’s cultivation reached the realm of Spirit Master. Although Changsun Jian and Old General Xue had also obtained the Spirit Master-level Xuan Tian Bead from Zhong Wen, they both gave it to him. My nephew took it but did not use it to improve his own cultivation.
Therefore, including Master Xi, there were only two spiritual masters in the imperial court. Compared with the various cultivators surrounding the palace, their fighting power was vastly different and completely beyond the pale.
"Ye, Ye Cliff Master!"
Li Xian, who followed everyone outside the palace, was already so frightened that his face turned green. He stared at Ye Shura next to him in horror, and asked with a trembling voice, "Didn't you say to let them stay outside the imperial city?" ? Why, why are you all coming in?"
"That's indeed what Ye ordered."
Yesura said nonchalantly, "I think the brothers were too excited and broke in on their own initiative."
"That's unreasonable!" Li Xian said angrily, "The support we promised has now become a forced marriage. How do you want me to deal with myself? How will the people of the world view me? It's true that I fail to achieve anything but fail!"
"People of the world?"
Yesura looked confused and said, "They are just a group of ants with neither power nor strength. Why should you pay attention to them?"
"You, you..." Li Xian's face turned red and he was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and there is no way out for you and me."
Ye Xiuluo suddenly approached Li Xian and said in a cold voice, "If I can't help you ascend to the throne, I'm afraid we will all be imprisoned for this serious crime of forcing the throne."
"Did you have a plan in advance?"
An idea flashed in Li Xian's mind, as if he had figured something out, he glared at him and said, "Did you deliberately create this situation to force me to submit?"
"It's just an accident. Your Majesty is overly worried." Yesura replied with a smile, "The common people are sincere and everything they do is for you and Da Gan."
"Do you think this king is a fool?" Li Xian's voice became colder and colder, like ice.
"Now there are only two ways before the prince. Either ascend to the throne and dominate the world, or fail to force the palace and go to jail." Yesura grinned, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "Which choice should I make? One piece, all in one thought."
"I, this king..." Li Xian couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. He was stunned on the spot and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Your Majesty, think about that hateful boy, and then think about that silver-haired girl." Ye Shura continued, "As long as you have power, you can kill whoever you want and marry whoever you want. You don't have to hold back anymore." Wouldn't it be nice to just accept your anger?"
Li Xian was pricked in his thoughts and immediately fell into silence, his eyes flickering and his face full of hesitation.
Knowing that his persuasion had worked, Yesura smiled slightly, stopped forcing him too much, and turned to look at Venerable Xi and others who were locked in a stalemate outside the hall.
"Who do you know that trespassing in the imperial city is a capital offense?"
Venerable Xi looked solemn and shouted sternly, "If you don't retreat quickly, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Don't look at his stern voice and imposing manner, but in fact he is complaining inwardly.
I remember when Xuanyuan Wudi was the commander of the Golden Armored Guards, he led two hundred heavenly wheels to guard the imperial capital as a spiritual master, intimidating Xiao Xiao. He was so majestic and domineering that he could be said to be walking sideways.
But after it was his turn to take over, the enemies he encountered were all giant bulls that he couldn't afford to mess with. Almost every time he fought with someone, he would be pressed to the ground and rubbed. He really didn't know who to tell the aggrievedness in his heart. .
When it comes to personal martial prowess, there may not be anyone in the group of cultivators in front of him who can defeat him, but the combined strength of these thousands of people is far beyond what a few dozen golden-armored guards can contend with.
What's more, among these nearly a thousand people, there are more than twenty spiritual masters.
Once the two sides really go to war, the defeat of Jinjiawei is almost foreseeable.
If not, he would have arrested all these illegal gatherings and put them in jail. How could he have the leisure to persuade them to "leave quickly"?
"Your Excellency must be Commander Jin Jia Wei Xi."
The person who answered his words was a beautiful middle-aged woman with plump eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes.
"It's Xi Mou."
Venerable Xi asked coldly, "Are you...?"
"I am Yin Ji." The beautiful middle-aged woman covered her lips with her bare hands and smiled sweetly, "I am the Palace Master of Tianshui Palace."
"I've never heard of such a thing as a yin and yang chicken." Venerable Xi opened his eyes wide and shouted sternly, "Xi only knows that if you don't withdraw from the imperial city, you will become a dead chicken!"
"Commander Xi, why should you be angry?" Yin Ji was not angry when he said something bad to her, but she said with a smile, "We come from all over the world, representing the common people from all over the world, gathered in this imperial city, we are just worried A country cannot live without a king for a day, and I hope that all of you will be able to decide on a new emperor as soon as possible."
"You idiots, when did you start caring about national affairs?" Guan Tianming couldn't help but sneered, "You're really going to make people laugh!"
As soon as these words came out, the practitioners from all walks of life outside the hall were in an uproar, and countless vast and majestic terrifying auras burst out, pressing hard in the direction of Guan Tianming.
"How brave!"
Seeing that a group of secular practitioners dared to attack the Minister of Rites, Venerable Xi and General Zeng Rui couldn't help but change their expressions. They took a step at the same time and stood in front of Guan Tianming. Their tiger bodies trembled, and they both released the aura of spiritual masters and rushed towards their faces. The powerful auras that came hit each other hard.
However, trying to compete with more than 20 spiritual masters with the strength of two people is tantamount to wishful thinking. The momentum of Xizeng and his two brothers was quickly submerged in the indiscriminate bombardment of a group of spiritual masters. Not to mention To protect others is to put yourself in danger.
The powerful aura that broke through the two people's defenses fell hard on Guan Tianming, squeezing this high-ranking official who only had the cultivation of Earth Wheel until his face turned red, his blood pressure soared, his bones cracked, and his legs went weak. He fell to his knees with no resistance.
"You, how dare you attack the imperial official?"
Under the gaze of everyone, being forced to his knees by a group of secular cultivators, Guan Tianming's eyes were split open, and he was filled with shame and anger. He felt that he had lost all face. If he had not been unable to move, he would have wanted to hit his head against the pillar of the hall.
"Stop it now!"
Zhang Sunjian and others on the side were all moved, and they all yelled, "Are you trying to rebel?"
"If you don't want to end up like this gentleman." The smile on Yin Ji's face is still charming, but there is a bit of coldness in her delicate voice, "Please follow the public opinion and make a decision as soon as possible."
"Oh? I wonder who the Master of the Yin Palace thinks should inherit the throne?" Changsun Jian laughed angrily.
"Didn't we express ourselves clearly enough just now?"
Yin Ji smiled lightly and said, "His Royal Highness King Lu is wise and courageous, young and promising, and he is your Majesty's younger brother. Isn't he the most suitable candidate?"
"Now His Majesty's life or death is uncertain, and we are doing our best to rescue him."
A stern look flashed in Changsun Jian's eyes, "Don't you think it's too early to rush to support the new emperor now, Lord Yin Palace?"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Li Xian unconsciously.
But they saw that the thirteen-year-old young prince had already been frightened by the scene in front of him, and his face turned pale. His whole body could not stop shaking slightly, and he could not even stand firmly. How could he look "wise and courageous" at all?
"This is wrong. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a woman to be in power." Yin Ji's answer greatly exceeded Changsun Jian's expectations. "Even if Your Majesty can come back alive, you should abdicate the throne and pass the throne to Lu." Your Highness, you are the right one."
"Master Yin Palace..." Changsun Jian looked at her with a lunatic look, "You are a woman yourself, and you are in charge of a cultivation sect, and you actually oppose a woman becoming the emperor?"
"I only have a few hundred people in the Tianshui Palace, how can it be compared with the entire Daqian?" Yin Ji shook her head and retorted, "Besides, even I don't agree with a woman being the emperor. Doesn't it also show that in the hearts of all people, the current holy emperor's position is not right? Is it time for someone else to sit on this dragon chair?"
What kind of magic logic is this?
Changsun Jian was so shocked by her fallacy that he felt there were so many flaws that he didn't know where to start his refutation.
At the same time, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his mind. He felt that the timing chosen by the other party was perfect. It was just when most of the experts in the God City were out searching for Li Yiru, and the imperial city's guards were at their most empty.
Under such a disparity in strength, he could not think of a way to break the situation.
"You like to be a dog, but you still want to drag all the women to be dogs with you?"
At this moment, a cold and melodious female voice suddenly sounded above everyone's heads, "You are such a natural slave. You have brought shame on women."
