Baidi City, Imperial Ancestral Temple.
The dark night soaked the silent corner stone statues, and the smell of incense candles still lingered in the deserted air. In the empty hall, Bai Di stood in the center of the hall, silently looking at the Dingguoding in front of him.
Bai Di had been standing here for a long time. It was only at this moment that something strange appeared on the cauldron, which was of great significance to the Mugung Dynasty, and his face became more expressionary.
On the three legs of the big cauldron, the simple and mysterious inscriptions are like red-hot irons, exuding bursts of mysterious light. The hanging portraits of emperors of the past dynasties hanging at the back of the hall are even more automatic in the windless way.
Soon, with a strange trembling sound, the entire hall became as bright as day, and a golden light erupted from the Dingguo tripod, lingering in the hall, turning into a golden sword of the emperor.
If Mu Qing were here, he would find that this sword looks exactly like the Demon Suppressing Sword in his hand.
A trace of heat flashed in Bai Di's eyes, and he stretched out his hand towards the Emperor's Sword. The sword trembled and slowly fell into Bai Di's hand.
The moment he held the Emperor's Sword, the clothes around Bai Di's body squeaked, and the blood on his face quickly drained away. After only half a breath, he was already exhausted to the limit. Then he let go of his hand and shouted softly: "Execute!"
The emperor took off his hands and left, instantly melting into the dark night outside the palace, without any trace left.
Bai Di staggered to the stone steps at the entrance of the main hall, and sat on the stone steps regardless of his image, looking south with eyes full of expectation.
The territory of the Mugung Dynasty was very large, from Zhongzhou southward to Youyanzhou, the night that shrouded each place was different. ..
At a certain moment, the two people walking on the mountain road raised their heads in unison.
The sky became extremely bright for a moment, but soon fell into darkness again.
Murong Xiu Ming was a little shocked and asked, "Did you see it?"
Zheng Shi narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "The great formation of heaven and earth must have been opened by Ling Shuzi. The white light just now must be a sign of luck."
The shock on Murong Xiu Ming's face soon turned into surprise when he heard this. He clapped his hands and praised, "Ling Shuzi is a very reliable person. It seems that my father and others have misunderstood this person."
Zheng Shi frowned slightly. He bumped into Murong Xiuming when he was leaving the city, and the two of them walked together. What they were most worried about was that Mu Qing discovered the formation in advance. Now that the formation was successfully activated, the matter has come to an end.
Murong Xiuming was happy for a while, turned around and looked at the way he came from, and said, "Mu Qing may be dead now. I don't think we need to go to Baidi City."
Zheng Shi nodded and was about to speak when a voice came from the hillside nearby: "You really don't need to go to Baidi City."
Zheng Shi was startled, and immediately reached out to hold the spirit soldier in his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Who is it? Get out!"
A burst of wind sounded, and several figures stood still, completely blocking Zheng Shi's escape route.
"Thank you Henhe!"
Zheng Shi looked at the woman standing in front of him and said her name in a deep voice. He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he looked next to Xie Henhe, his heart sank.
"Thank you, instructor, can we start now?"
A hoarse voice sounded on the mountain road.
Xie Henhe shook his head: "Don't worry."
At this moment, streaks of fire suddenly lit up in the mountains and forests not far away, and an energetic voice came from the forest: "Thank you, instructor, all the brothers in Iron Bone Village are already in place."
Zheng Shi's eyes jumped and he looked at Xie Henhe, his face was gloomy to the extreme, but he did not dare to lose his temper, but said as calmly as possible: "I heard from my father that several people from Tianbang joined the City Lord's Mansion, I don't know who they are. ?」
Murong Xiu Ming was originally staring at Xie Henhe angrily, but when he heard Zheng Shi's words, he couldn't help but be shocked, and then he seriously looked at the people around him.
Xie Henhe smiled and said, "I have long heard that you are Jiang Xingyuan's illegitimate son outside. I didn't expect you to admit it first."
Zheng Shi said softly: "Thank you, instructor, I was once your student, there should be no enmity between us."
Xie Henhe had no intention of continuing the conversation, and said to Yu You who had just spoken, "You and Gan Shu are one each, right?"
, Zheng Shi had some issues with the city lord before, so I can leave it to you to deal with it. "
Yu You's eyes turned scarlet, and he took a step forward and asked, "Does the city want to be dead or alive?"
When Zheng Shi saw that Xie Henhe didn't take him seriously at all, his face darkened and he shouted loudly: "Mu Qing will definitely die. You should think clearly about the consequences in the end!"
Murong Xiu Ming was already frightened by the battle and hid behind Zheng Shi. He seemed to have found some courage after hearing this: "Yes, instructor Xie, Mu Qing is about to die. I will be the Lord of Suzaku City in the future. If you are willing to become My men, I can forget about tonight."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xie Henhe's eyes, and he said to Yu You who was a little impatient with waiting, "Mu Qing doesn't care about them at all, so you can do whatever you want."
Zheng Shi's expression turned extremely ugly. Once upon a time, he and Mu Qing were in the same category, but they were no longer in the eyes of each other.
"How about..."
Yu You chuckled: "Then I understand."
The night suddenly darkened, and the battle on the mountain road was about to break out.
Yu You flashed and rushed towards Zheng Shi.
Zheng Shi shouted softly, grabbed the unruly Murong Xiu Ming and threw him to one side, while he fled towards the opposite mountain forest.
Yu You laughed and chased after Zheng Shi, but before Zheng Shi broke into the mountain forest, Murong Xiu Ming's screams sounded on the mountain road, but soon stopped abruptly.
The battle in the mountains and forests started slowly, but it lasted surprisingly short.
After a dozen breaths and a big hole in his chest, Yu You returned to Xie Henhe carrying a shriveled corpse.
"Thank you, instructor, there may be some trouble in the city. Do we need to rush back?"
Xie Henhe confirmed the identity of the corpse in Yu You's hands, glanced at Yu You who was full of blood, shook his head and said, "No need. The city lord has already arranged all this."
When Xie Henhe mentioned Mu Qing, the blood in Yu You's eyes immediately shrank, he looked south and sighed, "Maybe the conflict in Suzaku City started from us."
Xie Henhe smiled slightly when he heard the words. The smell of blood in the mountain road was washed away by the night wind.
"Let's go to the next place."
Suzaku City.
The night was dark, there was no moon or stars in the sky, and many people fell asleep.
But those who vaguely knew what would happen were waiting for a scene they could not forget.
At a certain moment, the night turned white in an instant, and Suzaku City seemed to be facing daylight. At that moment, some people saw a golden giant sword that filled the entire field of vision.
This giant sword fell from the sky and fell towards the earth, but there was no other movement for a long time.
In the south of the city, a green willow leaf quietly clung to the door.
In the courtyard behind the door, the rockery and small pond are still there. This was the place where everyone gathered on the day Hidden Valley was disbanded. Now it is Murong Jian's retreat.
At this moment, three figures stood beside the rockery in silence.
Murong Yin withdrew his gaze to the night sky and looked at Murong Jian. His already aging face had several deeper grooves.
Jiang Xingyuan stroked the ink-colored sword in his hand, opened his mouth and said "ha", "It seems that Patriarch Murong already knew this result?"
Murong Jian lowered his eyes and said nothing. He waited until he felt Murong Yin turn around and then said, "Stay here."
Murong Yin paused, turned his head to look at Murong Jian in disbelief, and said in a deep voice: "Ancestor, are you trying to kill everyone?"
Jiang Xingyuan stood there admiring this wonderful scene. He seemed to have guessed the ending in advance. Instead, he seemed indifferent and chuckled: "I heard that all the Murong family are descendants of senior Murong Jian. You will be like this now." There must be reasons for doing it, I can understand you."
Murong Jian didn't care at all about Jiang Xingyuan's sarcasm, and said, "Mu Qing knows your plan in advance. This heaven and earth supreme spirit formation cannot kill him."
Murong Yin's face was extremely ugly: "Did you tell him?"
Murong Jian shook his head: "The first time he met me after he came back, he threatened me and cooperated with him in acting. He knows your plan, and it will be much earlier."
Murong Yin's eyes flashed with a hint of twilight, and he smiled bitterly: "Then we won't lose unjustly."
When Jiang Xingyuan heard Murong Jian's belated reminder, he frowned and asked coldly: "Since you know, why do you still want to activate the formation? Although the sword just failed to take effect, it was just a guide. From now on, the fate of the entire dynasty will be affected." Come pouring in."
Murong Jian glanced at Jiang Xingyuan and ignored him.
Jiang Xingyuan seemed to have thought of something at this time, "At that time they..."
Suddenly, there were footsteps approaching, and a figure in red slowly approached the three of them, holding a willow leaf with the fingertips hanging by his side.
Jiang Xingyuan looked at Murong Jing who had suddenly arrived, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "What is the sect leader doing here alone?"
Murong Jingqu flicked her fingers, and the willow leaves spun and fell to the ground. She smiled and said, "I am here to clean up the house."
"Just you?" Jiang Xingyuan held the hilt of the sword, ready to strike, but looked at Murong Jian.
Murong Jing raised her chin and said to Murong Jian: "You can go find Murong Yue and the others."
Murong Jian hesitated for a moment, but honestly chose to leave. Before leaving, he said: "Sect Master, Jiang Xingyuan's true strength should be the threshold of the early stage of mortal transformation, and Murong Yin..."
"Let's go..."
Murong Jing's face turned even colder.
Murong Jian knew that he could not ease the relationship, so he sighed in his heart and did not stay any longer.
As soon as Murong Jian left, a burst of fire destroyed the house in the south of the city.
inner city.
Mu Qing looked back at the fire in the south of the city, smiled and said to the people beside him: "Xiao Jing has already started, and I won't wait any longer."
Ye Yun held the Yunhua Sword in her hand and nodded lightly. She wanted to tell Mu Qing to be careful, but she asked sideways: "Sister Jing's realm seems to have grown a little bit more. Where did you go with her that night?" I never found you later."
"Mu Qing and Xiao Jing came back sneakily from outside the city that morning. Xiao Yun, if you want to find him, you have to look for him outside the city." A joking voice sounded from Yunhua Sword.
"Sister Qingyu!" Mu Qing's face twitched and he quickly begged for mercy and shouted.
Ye Qingyu emerged from Yunhua Sword, smiled and patted Mu Qing's shoulder, "Go ahead, I won't tell Xiaoyun."
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows helplessly and fell towards the ground in the inner city.
At this moment, some figures walked out of the newly built house and gathered in front of Mu Qing.
"City Lord, there are one hundred and one people including me. They are all in place."
Cao Jin's old face was filled with excitement, he stepped on the ground, raised his eyes again, and kept looking at Mu Qing's hands.
Mu Qing held the Suzaku Seal in his left hand, and held a small golden sword in the palm of his right hand. From this sword, Cao Jin felt an extremely rich dynasty destiny.
Mu Qing nodded to Cao Jin, looked at Bai Jiahe behind Cao Jin, and said with a smile: "Junior sister, senior uncle and aunt are definitely watching us somewhere. You can still withdraw now."
Bai Jiahe smiled and shook his head, "Senior brother, there are a hundred people like me here. If you want to persuade them, just persuade them all."
Mu Qing was speechless for a moment. He looked at the people around Bai Jiahe and said seriously: "No more dangerous words. How much luck you can withstand varies from person to person. Don't be brave and remember to exit in time!"
The selected people looked solemn and said: "Please city lord to activate the formation!"
Bai Jiahe also clasped his fists and said, "Senior brother, please activate the formation!"
"good!"
Mu Qing soared into the sky and floated above everyone's heads. His bent right hand suddenly released, releasing the sword of destiny trapped in the whirlpool in his palm. Then he threw the Suzaku Seal into the night and shouted: "Gather!"
