Murong Xiu felt an unparalleled aura coming towards him, and instantly lost the ability to move. A look of shock and panic appeared on his face, and he stammered, "Do you want to rebel?"
"Xiao Wuhen, you are so brave!"
Qi Rulong, the only royal spirit who remained at the scene, shouted angrily. His body was like lightning, and he stood in front of Murong Xiu in an instant, "How dare you attack His Majesty!"
Murong Xiu felt her whole body relax and regained her ability to move again. She quickly took two steps back and shouted repeatedly: "Xiao Wuhen is plotting rebellion! Where is the shadow? Come and protect him!"
The "shadow" he refers to is a mysterious armed force that hides in the dark and protects the emperor's safety at all times. Although there are not many in number, they are all elite practitioners who are as good as ten, and each one has a heavenly wheel-level cultivation.
However, there was silence all around, and the shadow that was supposed to be guarding the emperor at all times did not respond at all.
"Shadow, Shadow!" Murong Xiu said angrily, "Why don't you come and protect me!"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to shout any more."
Ruo Yan, who had been watching silently, suddenly said slowly and slowly, "The shadow will not appear."
"What!" Murong Xiu looked at Ruo Yan in disbelief.
"There are seven shadows in total, which is not easy to deal with." Ruoyan continued, "Fortunately, you are suspicious by nature, and you don't even dare to fully trust your own personal bodyguards. If you insist on making them unable to know each other's whereabouts,
I was able to defeat them one by one, saving a lot of energy."
"It's you!"
At this point, Murong Xiu still didn't understand that this wise man who had always been by his side to make suggestions had already betrayed him. "It seems that Fulongwei's death is also related to you!"
"Are Your Majesty satisfied with the effectiveness of this 'Rightness Art'?" Ruoyan said with a joking look in his eyes, "You risked my life to get this."
"That's it." Murong Xiu suddenly realized, the anger in his eyes disappeared, and his expression gradually regained his composure, "You must have done something when you were teaching the 'Rightness Art'."
"Do you finally understand? The 'Rightness Art' they practiced has gone through some small changes." Ruoyan explained patiently without being impatient, "Otherwise, what's the point of a secret method that can greatly increase strength?
It may be easily learned by everyone, but where in the world can such a method of achieving both ends be found?”
"When they first learned this secret technique, the three venerables and Fulongwei also performed it once in front of a few people." Murong Xiu suddenly thought, "Why didn't they vomit blood at that time?"
"I have put some thought into modifying this secret method." Ruo Yan said with some pride, "A cultivator can use the secret method three times in total, and then his meridians will be severed and he will vomit blood and die. Your Majesty, please do the math. I learned it
I used it once every time, once in front of you, and now I use it again to encircle and suppress Jiang Qiu and the two families, so isn’t it three times?”
"As expected of a wise man who has won the trust of everyone." Murong Xiu sneered and said, "What a good plan! It's just that you are a lonely man and a traitor to the empire. You join forces to seize my country. It's unavoidable. It’s too simple. Let me ask you, in the entire empire, who would recognize a great person like Xiao Wuhen to be the emperor?”
"The Jiang family and their enemies conspired to rebel, killing the emperor and the royal family's spiritual leader, with the intention of seizing the country." Ruoyan said eloquently, "Fortunately, the head of the Xiao family was loyal, understood the righteousness, and joined forces with the Ji family to suppress the rebellion, and then jointly elected Yuan Yuan. Murong Chan, the king of Su in the border area, is the emperor and is assisted by the Ji and Xiao families. What do you think of this version?"
"Okay, very good." Murong Xiu's heart was trembling. How could he not know that the other party was going to support a puppet emperor again after killing him, while he was hiding behind the scenes to control the entire empire. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "It's absolutely watertight and seamless. !”
Prince Su was cowardly by nature and greedy for pleasure. According to Murong Xiu's understanding of him, Xiao Wuhen only had to promise the prince glory and wealth and let him go east. He would never dare to go west.
"Thank you, thank you!" Ruoyan said with a proud smile.
"The Ji family has also joined forces with you?" Murong Xiu was silent for a moment and asked suddenly.
"Ji Xiaoran is a businessman, he will know how to make choices." Xiao Wuhen replied firmly, "If he is ignorant, Xiao will not mind getting rid of the Ji family as well."
Murong Xiu glared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to shoot out flames from his eyes and burn this rebellious man to ashes.
A burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded, causing everyone to look up.
I saw a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands gradually approaching from a distance with neat steps. The man in front of him had a face like a jade, eyes like stars, a tall and straight figure, and a flowing white shirt. He was carrying a I prefer the best young master.
Sitting on the horse to the left of this man was a young man who looked almost as good as him, but with a coquettish light in his eyes.
On the horse on the right is a woman in pink with a fair complexion and a stunning face.
"coming?"
Xiao Wuhen seemed to have expected this. He didn't even turn his head, but the expression on his face instantly softened a bit.
"Second uncle."
The handsome young master in the middle dismounted, hugged Xiao Wuhen, then turned to look at Murong Xiu, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and said with a hint of mockery, "Your Majesty."
"Xiao Wuqing!"
After seeing the face of the person clearly, Murong Xiu's expression was dull, and he gritted his teeth and spit out the person's name.
Seeing that there were more and more people on the other side, but only Qi Rulong, the royal spiritual master, was left beside him, his mood became more and more depressed, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
"Qingqing, have you brought anything?" Xiao Wuhen asked his nephew softly.
"This is the edict of succession written by the emperor before his death. He used his last strength to write it." Xiao Wuqing took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Xiao Wuhen respectfully, "Please ask my second uncle to read it."
"As expected of being ruthless." Xiao Wuhen unfolded the scroll and glanced at it with a look of approval on his face, "The literary talent is still so outstanding."
"Second uncle, thank you."
The two of them actually discussed his "edict" in front of Murong Xiu.
"Do you think you are sure to win?" Murong Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth, "When Venerable Hong and the others come back, they will definitely..."
"Your Majesty, you are not old yet, why are you already confused?" Ruoyan interrupted in a strange voice, "Venerable Hong and Mr. Hua also used the 'Rightness Technique'."
As soon as these words came out, Murong Xiu's face turned pale and he no longer had the intention to fight back.
"Master Qi!" He shouted loudly, "Take me away!"
Qi Rulong had already had the idea of retreating, and the two hit it off immediately. He suddenly stretched out his right arm, grabbed Murong Xiu's arm, and took the emperor into the air, speeding away towards the palace.
As a royal spiritual master, his cultivation is extraordinary after all. Once he unfolded his movements, he was as fast as thunder and as fast as lightning. In an instant, he appeared dozens of feet away.
Carrying an adult on his hand didn't seem to hinder his speed at all.
However, just as the two of them were about to break through the siege and escape, Xiao Wuhen just stood there, his face as calm as water, with no intention of chasing after him.
As long as I can escape, I will definitely gather a large army to annihilate the Xiao family and cut Ruoyan into pieces!
Murong Xiu was led by Qi Rulong to ride the wind. When she found that Xiao Wuhen was not chasing her, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then her brain started to race and she started to plot a vicious revenge plan.
However, just when he thought he was about to escape danger, a figure appeared in front of the two of them.
An extremely handsome young man in white clothes with a coquettish light in his eyes.
It was the young man who was sitting next to Xiao Qingqing not long ago.
He blocked Qi Rulong's path so suddenly. From the beginning to the end, no one present could see clearly how he moved.
"Go back!"
The young man in white smiled slightly and suddenly struck out with his palm, directly facing Qi Rulong.
"boom!"
Caught off guard, Qi Rulong reluctantly raised his hand to parry, and was hit on the forearm by the young man. He felt unimaginable heat and pain coming from his arm, and let out a scream. He and Murong Xiu returned the same way and fell down.
In front of the Jiangfu residence.
What frightened him even more was that as time passed, the burning sensation on his arm increased instead of decreasing, and it actually seemed to be getting worse.
Looking down, he saw that the area where the young man in white had hit him was filled with black flames burning blazingly for a long time.
This is……
"You are from the 'Dark Temple'!"
Thinking of all the legends about this holy land, Qi Rulong's back was immediately soaked with sweat, and he couldn't help but scream.
"puff!"
The sound of a sword piercing flesh rang in his ears, and Qi Rulong felt a pain in his chest. When he looked down, he saw a sword blade passing through his heart, poking out half of his chest.
He slowly turned around, and what he saw was Xiao Wuhen's cold and heartless face.
"you you……"
He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but his strength seemed to have been drained away by this sword, and he could not even utter a complete sentence.
Without the support of his spiritual power, the black flames on his arms instantly surged, spread rapidly, and soon enveloped his entire body.
After a while, where Qi Rulong originally stood, there was no longer a figure, leaving only a pile of charred black bones with green smoke scattered on the ground.
"Qi, Venerable Qi." Murong Xiu's face was ashen and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Having lost his last source of support, he became completely panicked and could no longer afford to act like an emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn next." Xiao Wuhen stared at the emperor's panic expression, his voice was extremely gentle and lulling people to sleep, and he slowly stretched out his right palm towards him, "It's time for this Fulong Empire to change.
It’s my last name.”
"you you……"
Under the pressure of the powerful spiritual master, Murong Xiu could not move at all, and could only watch as the palm got closer and closer to her.
Then, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness again.
