Sky Burial Mountain.
At this time, the battle had begun on the mountainside, and Zijiao Banner and Qingluan Banner were completely involved in a melee.
In order to prevent the battle between himself and Lu An from affecting the low-strength soldiers, Prince Tang coerced Lu An into the sky.
As Prince Tang and Lu An moved the battlefield into the clouds, Changsun completely lost track of the two of them. He could only sense the fierce battle from the violent explosions that continued to come from high in the sky.
The eldest princess's eyes were focused on the top of the mountain from beginning to end, even if the view was blocked by trees and mountains.
Because she knew that the key to this autumn hunt was at the top of the mountain.
…
At the moment when the battle between Qingluan Banner and Zijiao Banner started, the Red Dragon Banner led by Emperor Yaozong rushed all the way to the top of the mountain.
When you reach the top of Tianzhan Mountain, you will find that it is actually an active volcano!
At the crater, the rocks that have been baked by magma all year round have formed strange shapes. From a distance, these rocks look like two ferocious dragon claws.
The most eye-catching thing is the suspended platform in the center of the two dragon claws. It is floating in the air without any connection.
The magma that spews up from time to time is like a scarlet dragon's tongue, trying to drag the platform into the hot lava pool.
After the red dragon flag rushed to the top of the mountain, it quickly spread out to surround the crater, and then Emperor Yaozong walked out of the team.
Different from the usual image of wearing dragon robes, today's Emperor Yaozong and his soldiers generally wear red armor. The only difference is that the golden lines wandering around the edge of the armor further highlight his nobility and extraordinaryness.
Emperor Yaozong, who was wearing armor, got off his horse. At this moment, he could remind people that he had personally been on the front line and commanded the team to kill the remnants of his family to pieces; he had also beheaded relatives outside the imperial capital. The sky is under the horse.
Emperor Yaozong let go of the reins in his hands, and the horse ran aside obediently. Emperor Yaozong climbed up the crater with steady steps.
Emperor Yaozong, who came to the edge of the rock, ignored the raging waves of magma below and walked towards the suspended platform without any pause.
The next moment, the soldiers saw Emperor Yaozong standing in the sky. There was nothing at his feet, but he just "climbed up the steps."
What made the soldiers even more excited was that the originally "turbulent" magma suddenly calmed down under the leisurely steps of Emperor Yaozong.
At this moment, the whole world fell silent, except for that tiny figure that was infinitely magnified. It looked like a god descending from the sky, but also like a lone hero fighting from the mountains of swords and seas of blood to the heaven.
Emperor Yaozong came to the stone table in the center of the platform and sat on the stone pier with a golden sword. Even though the surrounding environment is simple and crude, the momentum is no less impressive than what he usually does in the palace or on the Dragon Throne.
Emperor Yaozong was seen grabbing the cloak with his right hand and waved it domineeringly. The bright red cloak was spread on the stone table, which happened to reveal the endgame on the cloak.
If Emperor Yaozong hadn't spread his cloak flat like this at this time, he wouldn't have noticed that there was an unfinished chess game on the cloak. Looking from a distance, it only made people feel like there were stars all over the cloak.
The cloak is not brand new, and there are even obvious burnt and broken marks on the edges. People who don't know it might think it was burned when passing by the lava just now.
But the soldiers who experienced that war all know that this is the trace of Emperor Yaozong galloping on the battlefield and staining the battle flag with blood.
Why does that bright red cloak not fade for so long?
Why does the obviously broken cloth still reveal its sharpness?
That's because it was soaked in the blood of the enemy!
That's because it has killed countless enemy generals with its owner!
After Emperor Yaozong finished all this, he shouted loudly: "Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty, Tang Yaozong! I would like to invite you to join us!"
Emperor Yaozong's voice spread across the top of the mountain, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers was instantly ignited, as if there was a breath in their chests that was not being exhaled!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers of the Red Dragon Banner shouted in unison, and the clouds in the sky were instantly dispersed by bursts of murderous aura.
On the empty mountaintop, the sound of killing seemed to still be echoing.
Emperor Yaozong looked at the stone table expressionlessly
On the opposite side, they were neither dazzled by the enthusiasm of the soldiers, nor angry because their heavy punches were in vain.
After a long time, a figure appeared out of thin air on the top of the mountain that had been surrounded by soldiers of the Red Dragon Banner.
After the figure appeared, he arrived at the crater without waiting for the soldiers to react, and within a few steps he teleported directly to the stone table.
When the soldiers of the Red Dragon Banner saw the mysterious figure passing through the surroundings so easily and arriving directly in front of the emperor, there was a sound of sharp blades being unsheathed.
On the contrary, Emperor Yaozong did not panic at all. He raised his right hand and clasped his fist gently, stopping the soldiers who were about to rush up to protect him.
Emperor Yaozong looked at the person in front of him and saw that he was wearing a black robe like a national master. Although he was also elusive, the emperor, who had played against the national master for many years, could still tell at a glance that this person was not a national master.
"Where is the Imperial Master? What are you doing here?"
The mysterious man chuckled softly, not at all nervous as he should be when facing the monarch of the world.
"Of course I am playing chess with His Majesty."
Emperor Yaozong smiled contemptuously upon hearing this, "You are worthy of your defeated general?!"
Listening to the meaning of Emperor Yaozong's words, he already knew the identity of the visitor, and the two had also had a confrontation.
The mysterious man was not angry at all. Instead, he sat down calmly and watched the chess game.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The endgame of that year should naturally be completed by me playing chess with Your Majesty."
Emperor Yaozong snorted coldly, "Back then, you ran away and abandoned the game before the game was over. You have lost the qualification to play against me!"
The mysterious man remained calm and calm, "Since we have already lost, there is no need to continue. Giving up is a good choice..."
"Your Majesty should know better than me on this point..."
The mysterious man insinuated that Emperor Yaozong had cheated and ruined the situation more times than himself.
It is talking about Emperor Yaozong's behavior of "spoiling the situation" when he was playing chess with the imperial master.
Facing the mysterious man's ridicule, Emperor Yaozong showed no expression on his face, making it difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.
Emperor Yaozong raised his left hand and waved it down gently. With this simple movement, heads began to fall in the autumn hunting ground and the palace, and the air immediately became more chilling.
Most of those who were beheaded were the eunuchs and ministers around the emperor, including many old people who had been with the emperor for a long time.
But the emperor was not merciless in killing, and did not take into account old feelings at all.
From the moment they chose to leak the emperor's information, they were doomed today. However, they did not expect that the emperor would find out so quickly.
After doing this, the emperor felt better.
The mysterious man chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is still so easy to kill."
Emperor Yaozong sneered, not caring about the mysterious man's evaluation of himself, but looking at the black robe in front of him, he felt inexplicably irritated, so he waved his right hand again.
"Trying to be mysterious in front of me makes people feel disgusted just by looking at them."
I don’t know whether the emperor’s words were addressed to the mysterious man in front of him, or to the imperial master who had not shown his true face to others for so many years.
And as Emperor Yaozong waved his right hand, the mysterious man's black robe was torn apart, like thin snow melting in the sun, without a trace. .five
The mysterious man did not stop him, but Emperor Yaozong's move still made him look solemn.
Because Emperor Yaozong seemed to act lightly, but he was actually very particular about it.
It was easy to shatter the black robe, but the difficult thing was not to hurt the mysterious man at all, and not even a tremor appeared in his hair.
After the black robe disappeared, the mysterious man revealed his true appearance.
The long gray hair was combed back casually and tied up with a simple hairband. The half-covered hair revealed a slightly older appearance, but his tall and straight posture and strong body showed that he was still young and powerful.
There are two most eye-catching things about the man. One is the black marks embroidered on both sides of his face. Those are lines whose meaning is incomprehensible, but yet intimidating.
Another place is a line clinging to the chest of a man under his wide cardigan.
Horrible scar.
This scar spread from the left chest, almost splitting the man in two.
Although the man's appearance was partially obscured by long hair and black marks, Emperor Yaozong could still tell at a glance that he was the King of Qin who almost shattered his dynasty, Tan Tian!
After seeing the man's true face, Emperor Yaozong became much more relaxed. He said calmly: "Back then, you faked your own death and escaped to turn a dead end into an endgame. Today, you dare to come to join the end. Do you think you still have something to lose?" What chance of resurrection?"
When Emperor Yaozong said this, it meant that he had accepted Tan Tianzhong as a chess player to play against him.
On the contrary, Tan Tian looked at the chess game with a more solemn expression.
"My failure back then was due to my miscalculation of your Majesty's cards... You may not be able to win this time."
The unfinished game between Emperor Yaozong and Tan Tian is naturally the rebellion of the King of Qin started by Tan Tian.
And what Tan Tian said, Emperor Yaozong's trump card was none other than the Imperial Master.
It can also be seen from the chessboard remnants on the cloak that Tan Tian originally had an absolute advantage, but since the most dazzling chess piece appeared, the situation suddenly reversed.
But this time, there is a high probability that the trump card that can turn the situation around is no longer in the emperor's hands.
But even so, Emperor Yaozong was still able to remain calm, "How could you possibly know all my trump cards, and how could you know who would have the last laugh?"
This sentence sounded like a bluff, but it made Tan Tian's expression become more solemn.
"And I can promise you that no matter who laughs last this time, I will keep you here forever."
This sentence aroused Tan Tian's fighting spirit, and he snorted coldly: "If you want to keep me, it depends on whether my 100,000 followers agree."
"It's ridiculous that a mere remnant of the family, a bereaved dog, dares to falsely claim to have a hundred thousand followers!" Emperor Yaozong sneered.
The conversation between Emperor Yaozong and Tan Tian revealed a lot of information. In addition to the aftermath of the King of Qin's Rebellion and the fact that the imperial advisor no longer supported the emperor, it also revealed that Tan Tian not only survived but also became a member of the surviving family. Still the leader of a religion.
Tan Tian stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand to place a piece, and out of thin air, a piece appeared on the black square on the chessboard.
…
At the same time, the battle on the mountainside also heated up, with the soldiers of Zijiao Banner and Qingluan Banner fighting together.
With their excellent defense, the black-armored soldiers were invincible when charging. Zijiao Banner, on the other hand, relied on the terrain advantage on the mountainside to fully utilize its flexible tactics.
In general, the two sides are back and forth, regardless of superiority or inferiority.
Such a delay would definitely be detrimental to the eldest princess, after all, she is now charged with treason.
If Prince Tang were to delay her here, whether it was a battle on the top of the mountain to determine the winner, or reinforcements from outside the secret realm, the eldest princess would be faced with a situation where she would be attacked from both sides.
However, the eldest princess did not panic at all and stared at the top of the mountain.
While Tan Tian was falling, she also whispered: "The sky has changed."
