Chu Xiaoao fell from the air and hit the ground covered with tortoise patterns below. He smashed into the ruins of piles of rocks, setting off bursts of dust and smoke.
Seeing this sudden change, looking at Chu Xiaoao who was buried in the dust, looking at Dejue holding Dan Ying in his hand, Ye Wushuang's pupils shrank, and a flash of surprise flashed across his face.
He could clearly sense that there was no life left in the pile of rubble at this moment.
Chu Emperor Chu Xiaoao, who had ruled the Cangyun Empire for hundreds of years and sat firmly on the throne of Cangyun for hundreds of years, died, just like that!
It stands to reason that even if a Xuanjing warrior loses his Xuanying, he will not die in a short period of time; but Chu Xiaoao is different. He has been injured many times, and his cultivation has already fallen out of the Xuanjing. He is also seriously injured and has fallen from a height of tens of meters.
If you fall from a high altitude, you will certainly die.
But, didn't Dejue come to save Chu Xiao'ao? Why did he suddenly attack Chu Xiao'ao?
Ye Wushuang frowned at this moment, with a solemn expression. He did not take action or speak. He just looked at his blood-covered hands and pinched Dan Ying's Dejue without saying a word.
All of this happened so suddenly and so suddenly that he couldn't grasp De Jue's thoughts and purpose for a moment.
Dejue stood in the air, his fat face had returned to its previous charitable look. He looked at the Dan Ying in his hand, then at Ye Wushuang, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Chu Xiaoao was consumed earlier.
Too much energy, just relying on the power of the soul pill, barely keeping the pill baby from collapsing..."
"But even so, killing you is enough!"
After the words fell, Dejue raised his right hand, and the bloody Dan Ying was immediately thrown into his mouth and swallowed directly.
call!
In an instant, a terrifying wave of energy burst out, sweeping across the heaven and earth, shaking the sky above and scattering the clouds; shaking the netherworld below, cracking the earth.
"Swallow Danying alive?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Wushuang's pupils shrank slightly and his expression changed slightly.
A martial artist begins by condensing the virtual elixir in the star gate, and then the elixir transforms into an infant, and the infant condenses into a single phase. The nine phases merge into one, and when they are broken into tiny parts, they reach the imperial realm.
Therefore, in the martial arts, the essence of a warrior's cultivation lies in the Xudan. However, although the Xudan is strong, it cannot be swallowed directly. Otherwise, the energy contained in it would be enough to cause the Emperor Realm warrior to explode and die on the spot.
But at this moment, Dejue, who was just a cultivator in the Xuan Realm, actually swallowed Dan Ying alive, swallowing alive the essence of martial arts accumulated by a Xuan Realm warrior throughout his life.
This is simply incredible!
...
At the same time, the Chu Palace had turned into a mess; even the entire Cangyun City was in an uproar.
As time went by, Ye Wushuang broke into the imperial city with one sword, and Chu Yuntian led his army to force the palace to proclaim himself king. Things such as this have completely spread, causing uproar after wave of uproar in the palace and the imperial capital.
In the palace, the eunuchs, maids and many concubines were all frightened by this sudden change and fled in panic, trying to escape from the palace.
Outside the palace, the civil and military officials who received the news immediately gathered at Xuanwu Gate, trying to enter the palace under the banner of the savior.
People inside want to get out, and people outside want to come in.
Unfortunately, Prince Chu Yuntian had already taken precautions. After Chu Xiaoao and Ye Wushuang left one after another, he immediately occupied the palace and sent soldiers from the Zuo Camp to blockade the palace, closing the door tightly and not allowing anyone to enter or exit.
In the palace, the concubines who used to be superior in the past were furious about this and stepped forward to scold them. However, the soldiers of the Zuo Camp did not give them any face and directly drew their swords at them. They were frightened and all of them turned pale and cursed and retreated.
Outside the palace, the civil and military officials who hurriedly arrived were equally furious. They stepped forward to question and wanted to use their power to suppress others. However, the soldiers of Zuo Camp did not buy it at all. They even threatened them with their swords and beheaded several people who wanted to force them to death on the spot.
The retinue rushed in, frightening all the officials into panic.
Slowly, more and more officials gathered outside Xuanwu Gate.
"What's going on? Why did the people from Zuo Daying take control of the palace?"
"Where is your Majesty? Is the voice that just resounded throughout the imperial capital true or false?"
"His Majesty really allowed the eldest prince to massacre Qingyun City? Did His Highness really stand up to the emperor and establish himself as king?"
Seeing that the soldiers of Zuo Daying were selfless and had no hope of entering the palace, the princes no longer cared about the rules and directly shouted to the concubines who wanted to come out of the palace to inquire about the situation.
"Ye Wushuang rebelled against his superiors and framed the eldest prince; Chu Yuntian took the opportunity to usurp the throne and committed treason..."
At this moment, Concubine Qi, the mother of the four princes, came out, her pear blossoms were raining, and she cried from the air: "Now, Your Majesty is being chased out of the palace by that thief Ye Wushuang, and Chu Yuntian has already occupied the palace;
My lords, the Ai family knows that you are all loyal ministers, but please do not believe in slander, you must seek justice for my son, and you must help your majesty eradicate rebellion!"
"What? His Majesty was chased out of the palace by Ye Wushuang? Has His Highness the Crown Prince really usurped the throne?"
"Damn it, you rebelled against me and dared to bring trouble to Cangyun. How can we just sit back and watch?"
"Yes, we can't sit idly by and watch!"
The crowd was in an uproar and the officials were excited, but a figure suddenly stepped out.
Qi Shengwu!
Not only is he the third elder of the Qi family in the imperial capital, but he is also a bereaved relative of the royal family and holds the position of uncle.
At this moment, Qi Shengwu glanced around with a gloomy face, looked directly past the soldiers guarding the city gate, and looked at Concubine Qi, but did not speak, but shouted to the people around him: "Everyone, now is the time when Cangyun is in danger.
I also ask all my colleagues to share the same hatred of the enemy and defend our country, Cang Yun!"
"What uncle Qi Guo said is true!"
"The thieves shall be punished!"
"Please give me your uncle's orders. We are willing to defend Cangyun to the death!"
In an instant, everyone present responded with their hands.
Seeing this scene, Qi Shengwu nodded with satisfaction.
Although the Qi family has long since withdrawn from the political stage and rarely participates in government affairs; but at this time, His Majesty is missing, the palace is occupied, and all the justices are without a master, and all the dragons are leaderless, his almost forgotten identity as the uncle of the country can be used at this moment.
Maximum effect.
"General Liu, I also ask you to mobilize troops to quickly assist His Majesty and kill the evil traitors!"
Qi Shengwu didn't waste any time and directly ordered: "As for my colleagues, please follow me into the palace and put down the rebellion!"
Regardless of whether the previous words that resounded throughout the imperial capital were true or false, whether His Majesty condoned the eldest prince's slaughter of Qingyun or not, it didn't matter to him; the most important thing at the moment was to expel Chu Yuntian, put down the rebellion, and rescue His Majesty.
As long as Chu Xiao'ao is rescued and Chu Xiao'ao's throne is preserved, then it's not them who has the final say on whether things are true or false?
The winner is the king and the loser is nothing more than this!
Moreover, as someone who had contributed greatly to quelling the rebellion and rescuing the Qi family, it was very possible that he could even use this to get the Qi family to be on good terms with the Chu family again and rejoin the court.
By then, his status in the Qi family will not only increase, but he will also be reused by the royal family. For him, it will be a great opportunity!
What's more, Ye Wushuang had previously killed his only son, and he had always remembered this grudge. Not only would he be able to accomplish a meritorious deed this time, but he would also be expected to eliminate Ye Wushuang in one fell swoop and avenge Qi Hai, which would kill two birds with one stone.
"Walk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Shengwu directly unleashed the initial power of Tianchong Realm, made a bold move, and took the lead towards the palace gate.
Seeing this scene, the gentlemen behind me looked at me and I looked at you. After a slight hesitation, they all also moved, gritted their teeth and followed.
What happened today was an opportunity for Qi Shengwu, and why not for the princes of the Manchu Dynasty?
Putting down the rebellion and saving the Lord, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity to make meritorious deeds!
"Open the door!"
A military general stepped forward quickly to clear the way for Qi Shengwu. He ran to the palace gate first and shouted aggressively: "Grandma, open the palace door for me immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his sword and glared at each other.
"Your Majesty has an order, no one can enter!"
The gatekeepers were neither humble nor arrogant, and refused directly without any fear.
"Your grandma's..."
"His Majesty?"
Just as the military general was about to curse loudly, Qi Shengwu stepped forward, his cultivation in the Tianchong realm soaring to the sky, and he could not be angry, but he shouted sternly: "Who is your Majesty in your mouth?"
The gatekeepers were sweating profusely under the pressure of the terrifying power. They hesitated to speak, but they didn't know how to answer.
"It's me!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded, instantly interrupting the offensive of Qi Shengwu and others, and making the gatekeepers heave a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, the closed palace door slowly opened, and several figures walked out one after another.
There was a man in front of him, wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown on his head. His equipment was majestic and he was not angry but was proud of himself.
Exactly, the current crown prince, the new Emperor Chu, Chu Yuntian!
