For a moment, everyone present was shocked.
Now that Winter City has just won a great victory, the Great Shang is about to sweep away all the invading enemies. How can anything happen to the Emperor at this time? ?
"Guanyin, are you serious!?"
Shang Zhiruo's face was as pale as snow, he raised his eyes and asked.
"The stars are like this, and Master reminded me when I left the imperial capital that I must watch the stars today."
"Moreover, this kind of horoscope is so obvious that any fortune teller in Dashang will be able to divine it soon." Wei Guanyin nodded.
"I will return to the imperial capital immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Zhiruo immediately struggled out of Qin Chong's arms.
"Princess, we don't have a teleportation array that leads directly to the imperial capital."
But Shen Chiyue frowned at this time.
The imperial capital is the hub of Great Shang, and any teleportation circle that wants to enter it must obtain permission from the imperial court.
All the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce had taken a detour when they built teleportation formations to come to this northern region.
"The fastest route will take a day." Shen Chiyue sighed.
"Second girl, now that the third prince and the eldest prince are still in the imperial capital, the fortune tellers in their mansion will soon discover this celestial phenomenon."
"When you go back, these two people will have sealed the palace!" Xu Jin also said at this time.
Once the emperor really dies, the entire business will fall directly into civil strife.
The third prince and the eldest prince will definitely go to war with each other, but Shang Zhiruo is embarrassed because she is not in the imperial capital at all now.
If you go back now, you will definitely die.
"Aren't the armies of the two princes also in the Eastern and Western Regions now?" Su Jiuyou asked, "The king has the imperial army, so they shouldn't be able to cause any trouble!"
"Although the Forbidden Army is strong, if the emperor really reaches his deathbed, it will be difficult to guarantee his loyalty. Moreover, many of the Forbidden Army are direct descendants of General Wang Jian!"
"I'm worried that if Wang Jian returns to the imperial capital secretly, the palace will be completely sealed and no one will be able to see the emperor."
After Xu Jin spoke, everyone's expressions became gloomy to the extreme.
"The worst thing is, we'll die together!"
"I have no intention of becoming the emperor, but I want to see my father!"
But Shang Zhiruo's heart is completely messed up now.
"Second princess!"
But Qin Chong grabbed Shang Zhiruo and told her to go back in her current state. Not only would she not be able to see the emperor, she might even die.
The third prince and the eldest prince are deeply rooted in the imperial capital, so they must have prepared a lot of means.
Even if she returns to the imperial capital with hundreds of thousands of troops, there will be no results.
"There is a way for me to return directly to the palace."
At this time, Wei Guanyin suddenly raised his hand, and in the palm of his bare hand, there was an ancient bamboo slip floating in the air.
"This object can be returned to the Qintian Prison, and the Qintian Prison is inside the palace, but it requires the secret method of heaven and earth, or the body is strong enough to withstand the terrifying power of teleportation."
"Give it to me!" Shang Zhiruo raised his eyes and was about to grab the bamboo slip.
"Are you physically strong enough, or have you practiced the secret method of Tianji?" But Qin Chong still stopped her.
"Then what do you want from me!? I just want to see my father for the last time!"
"Isn't it possible?" Shang Zhiruo's eyes were already filled with tears at this time.
"Don't worry, the emperor will not fall. Leave it to me and I will go back!"
Qin Chong held Shang Zhiruo's cold hand and said in a deep voice.
"Qin Chong, your body may be able to withstand the power of teleportation, but your aura will be discovered by the third prince, and you are alone..." Xu Jin frowned.
"Haha, you may not be able to find it, but I have a way."
But Qin Chong just smiled and immediately raised his hand to sacrifice the clone.
Even though the major forces in the imperial capital had captured his aura, the clone was definitely unfamiliar.
Moreover, the current clone's combat power is strong enough. As long as it does not encounter a being like the Lingxiao Sword Emperor, the clone will not have any scruples.
At least, the combat power is stronger than Wei Guanyin.
"Trust me, okay?"
Finally Qin Chong looked at Shang Zhiruo again.
"You said my father will be fine? But that star sign..." Shang Zhiruo frowned.
Now, she was already panicking, and Qin Chong was like the last rope when drowning.
"Don't worry, if I say it's okay, it will be okay. Even if the stars are like this, then I will change my destiny against the will of heaven!"
Immediately after Qin Chong finished speaking, the clone directly took the bamboo slip in his hand and directly activated the magic circle. A terrifying and extremely dazzling white light pillar suddenly rose into the sky, illuminating the entire Winter City in an instant. Bright as day.
"Leave it to the clone."
"As for what's next..." Qin Chong looked at Xu Jin and said, "Senior, if the Huben Army and the Yulin Army knew that the emperor might die, they would definitely withdraw from the battle line."
"The clone can stabilize the situation inside the palace, but until the emperor stabilizes the situation outside, we can only rely on us!"
"In this way, the army does not need to rest. Let's set off now. The troops will be divided into two groups and block the Huben Army and the Yulin Army on their way back." Xu Jin also nodded.
There are millions of warriors in the two legions in total. If the third prince and the eldest prince fail to win the position of great treasure, they will most likely resort to dangerous tactics.
The foreign troubles of today's big business have not been eliminated, and there must be no more civil strife.
As a result, Lingfeng Legion and Tiance Legion only left a small number of troops to stay in Winter City, while the rest of the troops divided into two groups and headed straight for the border between the east and west regions.
Not long after, in the Qintian Prison of Dashang Palace.
A figure suddenly appeared from the ancient altar in the secret room.
Although the palms of this figure are covered with blood marks at this time, and the ancient armor on his body is also full of mottled marks, his aura is still strong.
And this is Qin Chong's clone.
As Qin Chong was promoted to the Holy Realm, his imperial body increased, and his clone had already been reborn.
And this time the clone came wearing ancient dragon armor. Even though the teleportation of Qin Tianjian was extremely violent, he still had no choice but to clone himself.
The clone walked out of the ancient altar, activated the Huangtian Emperor's Body Art to hide his aura, then used Mingye Wuhen, and went straight to the Emperor's palace, the Palace of Nourishing Heart.
Although there are dense barriers and restrictions within the palace.
But for Qin Chong's clone, these restrictions are in vain.
Nowadays, no one seems to have noticed the astrological sign of the emperor's funeral, so the entire palace is extremely quiet and there is nothing unusual.
So the clone quickly arrived in front of the Yangxin Hall.
As the palace of the emperor, there is not even a guard guarding it.
It's just that the forbidden energy here is extremely powerful, and it is the center of the magic circle of the entire Shang Imperial Capital.
Surrounded by dragon energy, if not summoned by the emperor, only the three descendants of the emperor can enter the Yangxin Palace with the dragon energy in their bodies.
The clone frowned, its eyes flashed continuously, trying to break the formation and enter it, but it couldn't induce any movement.
This is a bit troublesome.
Although Qin Chong's clone's formation-breaking skills are powerful enough now, it is also very difficult.
"come in!"
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the Yangxin Hall.
The clone's expression suddenly changed. He was extremely sure that he had activated the Huangtian Emperor's physical skills to block his aura. However, he was still sensed by the Emperor in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart! ?
The spiritual thoughts of those who are strong in the realm are really terrifying!
But now that it has been discovered, and the barrier formation in front of him has suddenly opened a gap, Qin Chong's clone has nothing to think about and steps directly into it without hesitation.
Entering the Yangxin Hall, Qin Chong saw a silhouette sitting cross-legged on a futon, facing the wall of the hall.
Under the wall, there are rows of ancestral tablets, flickering in the candlelight.
"The clones have such fighting power, no wonder the old madman and the others think so highly of you."
The emperor turned his back to Qin Chong and smiled suddenly.
"Your Majesty, the war in the Southern Territory has ended. In front of the Winter City in the Northern Territory, all the millions of Great Qin's legions have been killed. The foreign troubles of Great Shang have been resolved!"
Qin Chong stepped forward, cupped his hands and said quietly.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Okay, I can still defeat Da Qin in the first battle in the Northern Territory. Even if I die, I will be satisfied."
The emperor stood up. Although he was still in the Taoist Realm, his face was gloomy and his breath was gone.
I'm afraid that if I can't hold on to a cup of tea, I will run out of life and die.
But after hearing the news of Winter City's victory, he still laughed heartily.
Xu Jin has lost contact with the imperial capital before, which is what he is most worried about. If the Tiance Army is finally destroyed in Winter City, he will die with his eyes open.
"I have also asked people to investigate you, and I heard that you helped Zhiruo on your way to heaven. If you can continue to be strong, maybe you can really secure her position as the emperor of the Great Shang!" The emperor suddenly suddenly smiled.
When Qin Chong's clone heard this, his expression could not help but tremble.
The emperor also knew that Shang Zhiruo entered the road to heaven, and the Demon Alliance...
Could it be that everything is under the control of the emperor?
"Haha, that girl never hides anything from me, and like her mother, she has the body of a demon. How can I suppress her nature?" The emperor seemed to have noticed Qin Chong's strangeness, and then said again : "It's just a pity that the second girl is actually not suitable to be the emperor, but my two sons are not up to expectations."
"Now the news that I will be buried in heaven will be known to them. I have already drafted an edict, which will be announced to the world and passed on to the second girl."
"Dashang, we must not start fighting again."
"But your majesty, the two princes will never give up. If your majesty were not here, the second princess would be far away in the northern region." Qin Chong's clone still frowned.
"Haha, don't worry, as long as the imperial army is here, they won't be able to make any trouble." But the emperor sneered and said immediately: "General Wang Jian has secretly entered the palace. I want to see if he can mobilize Imperial Army!"
Qin Chong's clone's pupils shrank. It seemed that he had already arranged this move for the Forbidden Army.
Even though the emperor's time is running out, he is still the master of one dynasty, and everything seems to be under control.
"However, even so, the two princes are afraid that they will have to fight again when the Tiger Army and the Yulin Army return. Your Majesty, if this junior has a way to extend your life, then all hidden dangers can be resolved in an instant!" Therefore, Qin The clone suddenly spoke.
Now that everything has been said here, there is no need for him to hide it anymore.
"Hahaha, renew your life?!" But when the emperor heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Silly boy, you need longevity treasures to renew your life. Over the years, I have wasted a lot of financial resources, going to hundreds of dynasties, the Supreme Family, and even... The Ancient Immortal Sect purchased it, and Wan Chuan also tried his best to find a lot of longevity treasures for me."
"Now, I have really run out of gas. Even if you have a longevity treasure, it must have been used by me, and this kind of treasure can only be used once in a lifetime."
He had no expectations at all for Qin Chong's words.
"not necessarily!"
But Qin Chong's clone shook his head, and then directly raised his hand to take out Gui Yuanmi.
He really didn't believe it. Tuntian Taotie had said that even the ancient immortal sects didn't have this treasure. It was a priceless treasure.
Even if he sells the entire Dashang, he still can't afford it.
"What's this!?"
Sure enough, when he saw the inconspicuous grain of Guiyuan rice in the palm of Qin Chong's clone, the emperor's expression suddenly changed dramatically!
