Chapter 292 The Last Night of the Great Chu Empire
Chapter 292 The last night of the Chu Empire
After successfully dealing with the four cave travelers, Lu Zhan flew towards the Taiji Gate. However, at this moment, he could not enter the imperial city directly from the Taiji Gate, because from the conversation between the four cave travelers just now, he knew the location of the imperial city.
The city has been completely sealed off from the outside world, and the "Wuji Xuan Lei Formation" has been deployed. If you enter the imperial city from above the city wall or through the gate, this "Xuan Lei Formation" will be triggered, resulting in a very powerful fire and thunder attack.
The "Xuanlei Formation" is an ancient mysterious formation that Qin Baiyu deployed around the imperial city after he became the new Imperial Master, in order to prevent incidents similar to the Taiji Sect Incident from happening again.
Strange array method.
This formation is obviously used to protect the palace when it is surrounded by powerful enemies. It is usually in a sealed state and will only be opened when the palace is in extreme crisis.
It is also said that after activating this formation, although the palace was able to temporarily protect itself, the main structure of the four gates of the palace, the southeast, southeast and northwest were completely destroyed and had to be torn down and rebuilt afterwards.
So after opening the "Wuji Xuanlei Formation", does it mean that outsiders cannot enter the imperial city?
Actually, that's not the case. At least Lu Zhan now knows that if you want to enter the imperial city, there is a secret passage. This secret passage is at the Tai Chi Gate where Lu Zhan is now. This is the main reason why Lu Zhan chose to go through the Tai Chi Gate.
.
The Tai Chi Gate was destroyed in the peak showdown between Lu Zhan and the old master more than half a year ago. The current Tai Chi Gate was newly built after the new emperor ascended the throne.
During the Taiji Sect mutiny more than half a year ago, Tululu, a warrior from the barbarian allies, used a ferocious beast he raised to drill several underground tunnels under the Taiji Sect for Qing Ji to cast phantom smoke.
When Taiji Sect was rebuilt, the new Imperial Master Qin Baiyu used those underground tunnels to build several secret passages connecting the imperial city and the inner city for emergencies. Only some of the emperor's core confidants knew this secret. Although Lu Zhan
He is not the emperor's core confidant, but he has a relatively good relationship with several of the emperor's core confidants, so he also knows this secret.
Lu Zhan found the entrance to an underground tunnel at a secret location outside Tai Chi Gate. He got into the entrance and saw that the tunnel in front of him was twisted and twisted. That was because the beast that had drilled this tunnel was shaped like an earthworm.
Drilling through a tunnel in a zigzag manner rather than in a straight line
Because of walking, there are many forked roads in the tunnel, just like a maze. Lu Zhan walked into blind corners several times in a row. Fortunately, he had an excellent sense of direction and could always find the direction of Tai Chi Hall, so even though he walked a few times,
After going astray for several times, he finally found the exit.
The exit was in a small stone room with a thick stone door at the top. Lu Zhan walked to the stone door and inspected the stone wall beside the door, trying to find the switch to open the stone door.
At this moment, the sound of conversation came faintly from behind the stone door. Although the sound was very soft, Lu Zhan's martial arts cultivation at this time had reached its peak. Even if there was a mosquito flying around twenty feet away, he could clearly hear it.
Hear the flapping of the insect's wings.
"Oh, Your Majesty, what can we do now!" A young woman's voice was sobbing: "Now the entire palace is surrounded, and there are terrible monsters everywhere outside. These monsters kill and eat people as if they are commonplace? Concubine
I would rather kill myself than let those disgusting monsters touch a finger of mine." This voice sounded like the voice of the current queen.
Then came the emperor's sigh, "Oh, I have only been emperor for a few days, and I haven't even sat on the dragon chair to warm it up. I have suffered such a catastrophe. I really didn't expect the fate of the Great Chu Empire. In the end, it was ruined by me."
It’s really hard to think about it!”
Then he heard the sound of angrily slapping the table, "If I had known this day, I shouldn't have led my army back to seize the throne. I should have stayed in the Sui Empire and been free and at ease."
The queen then said: "Your Majesty, can't you communicate with the 'Blood Cloud Cave' and ask them to let us go this time? If the world is really going to be destroyed, then it will take another hundred or fifty years.
Everything is fine.”
The emperor said: "Why didn't I contact the 'Blood Cloud Cave'? These days, I sent out more than a dozen letters of 'Paper Talisman Feihe' every day, but they all came to nothing. The 'Blood Cloud Cave' paid no attention to me. It seems that the legend
Ancestor Xueyun in Zhong is determined to destroy my great Chu this time."
The queen said: "But the emperor's family has done so much for his 'Blood Cloud Cave'. They will destroy the world if they say it will. They won't even let us go. Don't they have any sympathy for our hard work over the years? Come to think of it.
It’s really chilling.”
Lu Zhan couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing this: "It turns out that the royal family is indeed related to the 'Blood Cloud Cave'. If the Great Chu Empire is compared to a pasture, then the 'Blood Cloud Cave' is the herder, and the royal family,
He's the leader of the ranch
Sheep, no matter how diligently it serves its master, it cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered in the end. All glory, wealth, fame and wealth are all in the past, but people are still unable to understand this truth."
At this time, he saw a stone on the edge of the stone door that was different from the surrounding stone walls. He wondered if this was the switch that opened the stone door. Just as he was about to press the switch, he heard the queen's voice from outside: "
But why haven't we seen the Imperial Master in recent times? At this time of national crisis, where has the Imperial Master gone? I haven't seen him for a long time. "
The emperor said: "I sent him to the 'Blood Cloud Cave' to discuss asking someone to kill Lu Zhan, but I didn't expect that he would just leave and never return. I don't know what happened to him on the way. Maybe he has been killed by the cave."
Maybe even kill him."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan's hand stopped on the switch, and he was stunned for a moment!
"The emperor wants to kill me? I have done so much for him and finally helped him win the throne, but Emperor Longtai is using this method to repay me?" He felt a cold current rushing through his heart, feeling sad and angry at the same time.
.
Then the Queen said: "The Emperor wants to kill Lu Zhan? Why is this? It's probably Qin Baiyu's bad idea. Lu Zhan's martial arts attainments have reached their peak at the age of twenty, and his achievements are almost as high as those of heaven and humans.
Such a talent in the capital, even if he can't pacify the monsters in the cave, can still protect the emperor from escaping from the capital. Fortunately, at this juncture, the emperor let him..."
"Shut up!" the emperor scolded angrily: "You are a woman, you know nothing. Queen, can't you see that Lu Zhan is not only too sharp, but also has a potential to defy heaven? He was twenty years old.
He has become the martial arts supreme of our Great Chu Empire, and there is still a long road to practice. How can he be willing to submit to my secular imperial power? Sooner or later, such a person will become a scourge to my inner circle, so I should get rid of him early.
."
"Your Majesty, you only thought about your own peace of mind, but you didn't expect to suffer such a catastrophe." The Queen sobbed: "It's good now, a powerful enemy is outside the door. The strongest warrior who was supposed to protect the Emperor was killed by the Emperor.
I was sent to the frontier, maybe this is my destiny, wuwu... I have a really hard life..."
Although Lu Zhan was angry when he heard this, he was a little relieved: "Yes, my martial arts cultivation is already the first in the Chu Empire, and I have the momentum to become a king and a hegemon. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
, Emperor Longtai was afraid of me because of this, and wanted to find someone to kill me, which is reasonable."
At this point, Lu Zhan had completely lost his desire to rescue the current emperor of Chu. After all, once such a scheming person was allowed to enter his cave, he might still make trouble inside, which would disturb his life in the cave.
He took back his hand on the switch, and the grudges between him and the royal family were finally settled.
At this time, another voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Marshal Tie is here with all the generals to ask for an audience."
"Let them come in." The emperor turned to the queen and said, "Queen, please step back first. Maybe things have not reached the worst point yet. We still have the 'Floating Fairy Island', which can be used to launch a desperate counterattack."
After the queen walked away sobbing softly, Tie Heng came in with all the emperor's cronies.
"Your Majesty, something bad is going on." Tie Heng said urgently: "The eyes of the pair of eyes in the sky are filled with blood-red tears, and they look like they are about to cry. Now there are rumors among the soldiers that this is the end of the world.
Everyone is very nervous, the military morale is a bit unstable, and we must make the determination to give it a go."
The emperor sighed sadly: "Alas, the 'Blood Cloud Cave' has finally begun to destroy the world."
The generals and heroes were excited and shouted: "Your Majesty, I will risk my life and fight with them."
"Yes, we are all going to die anyway. It is better to die heroically and hide here waiting to die. It is useless just thinking about it."
"I'll kill you now. There are so many monsters out there. Kill them one by one."
Tie Heng stopped him and said, "Don't mess around, everyone. We are not at a dead end. Don't forget that there is a 'Floating Fairy Island'."
An imperial tiger general said: "But what is the use of the 'Floating Fairy Island'? Now the flying island is guarded by three immortals in the cave. Yesterday, the 'Floating Fairy Island' faced those three
The people fired two "Aura Cannons", one of which was dodged by them, and the other one was blocked by their joint efforts. Just imagine that these immortals can even block the "Aura Cannon", but that's "floating in the air"
It is the most powerful weapon on the Immortal Island."
Lu Zhan was shocked when he heard this outside. He didn't expect that the core disciples of the Dongfu who were guarding next to the "Floating Immortal Island" could even block the "Aura Cannon". Wouldn't that mean they had already reached the visible level of cultivation?
This floating fairy island was originally a fragment of the cave that remained after the death of the cave cultivator of a higher existence in ancient times. Although its power is unimaginable to mortals, it is only a fragment after all and is not completely controlled by the cultivator.
Cave.
When facing the visible-level cave practitioners, the attack power is not enough.
A general said: "Your Majesty, there are now 900,000 people in King Qin's army coming from all directions. Among them, there are more than 70 masters in the realm of energy. Most of the others are also in the realm of bone forging and qi condensation.
Coupled with the 600,000 Yulin Army in the capital, our strength is not bad. If we go all out and give it a try, we can at least kill more than half of the combat power they see now."
The emperor asked Tie Heng: "Marshal Tie, now that you are the person with the highest military rank here, what suggestions do you have?" To be continued.
