The situation just now was too thrilling. He was a powerful person in the Dragon Spirit Realm. Everyone had heard about this legendary existence, but had never seen it with their own eyes.
The horror in the expressions of Zhou Canghai and other clan members could not dissipate for a long time.
In the eyes of those who are strong in the Dragon Spirit Realm, they are ants in the true sense. They may be killed by raising their hands and cannot escape.
Compared with the previous times, this time is the real escape from the catastrophe, and there will be good luck in the future.
Along the way, there were many obstacles and many forces blocked his path, but Zhou Yuan could handle them easily.
Even if Jiang Ziyue suddenly appeared, Zhou Yuan would be able to defeat her in the end, except for Su Ruobing being kidnapped.
"Yuan'er, Miss Su was kidnapped by Jiang Ziyue and her life is in danger. What should we do?" Zhou Canghai looked at Zhou Yuan sitting on the deck with worry on his face.
Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes, "Father, don't worry. Jiang Ziyue kidnapped her to lure me to Luzhou, so Jiang Ziyue won't do anything to her for the time being. Now that the incident in the imperial capital is happening, I decided to solve the immediate problem first."
Things."
"It's really hard for you." Zhou Canghai looked at Zhou Yuan, feeling heartbroken.
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, "It's okay, everything is under control. There are still a few days before the imperial capital. You all have a good rest. I will arrange for you to enter the Imperial Palace."
Zhou Yuan had another interrogation with Yun Chen before, and learned that Yun Chen was still the same as before.
Because of the activation of the five-color flag array, Yun Chen was unable to contact the inside of the palace at all. The third prince, Yun Zheng, was in the palace but did not send a message outside the palace. It seemed that he was deliberately delaying time.
And Yun Chen also found a talisman formation master, who is studying to decipher the five-color flag formation in five directions.
But this is a spirit-level magic formation, used as a palace defense formation. The secret of it is known only to Emperor Yun himself and is a secret that must not be told to anyone else. Even Shen Fei, the general who protects the country, only knows how to arrange it.
Know the secret of it.
If you want to crack the magic circle, you must understand its secrets and understand the rules of the magic circle's operation.
The current layout of the imperial capital basically means that Yun Zheng and those who support Yun Zheng have long been plotting, and now they are all in the palace. They have imprisoned Emperor Yun and all the royal family.
When Yunchen learned the news, he was in the Prince's Mansion.
So when the magic circle was opened, Yun Chen and the people who wanted to rescue Emperor Yun were trapped outside the magic circle.
In this way, the stalemate lasted for several days.
Zhou Yuan and his clan finally arrived at the imperial capital.
Zhou Yuan is now a great scholar, so the generals guarding the city naturally dare not stop him. Moreover, Zhou Yuan's Yunfan was a gift from Emperor Yun. Its appearance was customized by the royal family, making it easy to identify. The generals who saw it almost naturally did not intercept it.
.
In this way, their family entered the imperial city smoothly.
Yunfan stopped over the Guoshi Mansion. Zhou Yuan put down the ladder and let the clan members go down. He was warmly welcomed by the servants of the Guoshi Mansion.
"Senior brother."
"Junior brother."
In the main hall, Zhou Yuan met Qingmu You, Sanyan and other senior brothers and sisters.
They were closest to Zhou Yuan at Seven Star Academy, so Zhou Yuan still had great trust in them, so on the way back, Zhou Yuan asked Yun Chen to call them to the Imperial Scholars' Mansion.
He has no other purpose than to let them help him protect his family.
The imperial capital is much safer than other places. Those forces from other countries can intercept Zhou Yuan on the way, but they cannot enter the imperial capital. The imperial capital's identity review is extremely strict.
Despite this, there are still fish that slip through the net, and Zhou Yuan is most worried about these people.
Moreover, Dong Xinghai will also arrange for people from Xingyue Tower to keep an eye on the Guoshi Mansion, as it is inevitable that some dead soldiers will come to fight for their lives.
On the way here, Zhou Yuan thought about everything.
After entrusting his tribe to Qingmu You and the others, and waiting for the tribe to settle down, one of the few stones hanging in Zhou Yuan's heart finally fell.
He then left the Imperial Palace with peace of mind and went straight to the palace.
As soon as he arrived, Zhou Yuan noticed powerful spatial fluctuations.
Sure enough, the five-sided five-color flag formation in full defensive form consumes a huge amount of power from heaven and earth, and the buzzing sound is like bees echoing in the ears.
A pale golden shadow appeared in the sky above the entire palace. The shadow was like a golden and stone castle, covering the palace tightly, and even birds could not fly through it.
Countless people gathered at the gate of the palace.
Soldiers, generals, and court ministers were all waiting anxiously.
Everyone will be implicated in the incident in the imperial capital.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the sky in the distance, there are nearly a thousand warriors with advanced cultivation, who are constantly attacking the magic circle, intending to break the fully defensive magic circle.
There is no other way. When the magic circle cannot be broken, the only option is to attack forcefully.
The magic circle also has a lifespan. When the supply of the power of heaven and earth is insufficient, or cracks appear in the formation flag or the core of the magic circle, or the runes in a certain area are offset, the magic circle will be broken by external forces.
However, this is a spiritual magic circle, and trying to break it is a drop in the bucket.
There are also some areas where some warriors are touching the magic circle barrier, groping around, and studying ways to break it.
High in the sky, there are two spirit-transformation realm generals standing in the sky. They pull up a huge banner and face the palace. The banner reads: Third brother, I am willing to give up my position as the prince. Please do not harm my father.
.
Yun Chen had no way to spread the news into the palace, so he could only use this simplest and most direct method.
However, the effect did not seem to be obvious. Yun Zheng in the palace seemed to be unable to see the banner and remained silent, as if he did not care about Yun Chen's promise at all.
Below, a group of veterans surrounded a young man in golden armor, all of them with anxious faces.
When Zhou Yuan saw Yun Chen, he walked over without anyone stopping him.
"Your Highness, I'm late." Zhou Yuan clasped his fists and said.
Hearing this voice, Yun Chen, who was looking at the other side of the magic circle, was suddenly startled and turned around quickly.
"Zhou Yuan, you are finally here. I thought you encountered some problem." When Yun Chen saw Zhou Yuan, he almost looked ecstatic, as if Zhou Yuan's arrival would solve his urgent problem.
"To be fair to Your Highness, there were indeed many twists and turns along the way, but luckily there were no dangers." Zhou Yuandao.
Yun Chen's expression suddenly changed, revealing a hint of anger, "Dong Xinghai, Yun Zheng, they must have deliberately sent people to stop you in order to delay time."
Zhou Yuan muttered: "Yunzheng, I don't know that Dong Xinghai betrayed my information to the forces of the other sixteen countries. Those forces in the Tianlong Ruins that I offended all sneaked into the Tianyun Kingdom and stopped me on the way.
"
"In addition to these forces, I also met Jiang Ziyue."
"What? Jiang Ziyue is still alive?" Yun Chen was suddenly shocked.
He looked Zhou Yuan up and down, and then asked: "A war between you is inevitable. It seems that you have gone through a lot of twists and turns before you can come back."
"It doesn't matter." Zhou Yuan shook his head.
After a pause, Yun Chen quickly said to Meng Tuo beside him: "General Meng Tuo, please go down and strictly check those who come in and out of the imperial city, especially unfamiliar faces. I don't want forces from other countries to interfere with my Tianyun."
country’s affairs.”
"As commanded."
Meng Tuo responded and immediately withdrew.
The reason why Yunchen issued this order was to ensure Zhou Yuan's safety on the one hand, and also for Tianyun Kingdom on the other.
If the current incident in the imperial capital is interfered with by other countries, it will definitely turn into a mess.
Zhou Yuan glanced at the huge light golden magic circle shield in front of him and asked: "What is the situation now?"
"Yun Zheng is still inside and ignores me at all. He must be delaying time. What we have to do now is to find a way to break the magic circle so that we can break into the palace and rescue our father."
Yun Chen said seriously.
"Where is the army?" Zhou Yuan asked.
"The army hasn't arrived yet. As you know, the army is moving slowly, and I have only been able to contact my second brother. The second brother is on the way with the army. The fourth brother has cut off contact with me."
Today, the main army of Tianyun Kingdom has two parts, one part is in the hands of the second prince Yun Shang, and the other part is in the hands of the fourth prince Yun Zhen.
Zhou Yuan thought for a while, "That means that the second prince did not know in advance that the third prince would rebel. He promised to lead an army to assist you, but the fourth prince was unable to contact you. This means that the fourth prince and the third prince have a conspiracy and may be on their way.
On the road to the imperial capital."
"You mean...the reason why third brother is delaying now is because he is waiting for fourth brother's military support?" Yun Chen was suddenly shocked.
"That's right." Zhou Yuan nodded slightly, "Now both armies are coming, and a bloody battle is inevitable."
When Yun Chen and the surrounding veterans heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
The two armies, millions of soldiers, are the foundation of the Tianyun Kingdom, but each has his own master. Because of the dispute over the prince, they were involved in the war, causing corpses to litter the fields and blood to flow into rivers.
No matter which side wins in the end, it will bring considerable losses to Tianyun Country.
Even more serious, if other countries take advantage of the situation, the entire Tianyun Kingdom may become a subsidiary of other countries.
"What should we do?" Yun Chen fell into panic.
The last thing he wants to see is the division of the country and the devastation of life.
Zhou Yuan thought deeply: "There are two ways to go now. One is to find the fourth prince's army and prevent the fourth prince from leading troops into the imperial city. The other is to find all the talisman masters and find a way to break the spell here."
Array."
"Your Highness, then let me go out and stop the Fourth Prince."
Next to him, a burly man wearing heavy armor walked up immediately. It was Shen Fei, the general who protected the country.
Yun Chen was about to give an order, but was stopped by Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan looked at Shen Fei and Yun Chen and said: "It may be risky to stop the fourth prince. If the third prince fails to wait for the fourth prince in the palace, he will inevitably make the worst decision, which may force Emperor Yun to give up the throne. In a more serious situation,
, Emperor Yun’s life is in danger.”
Hearing this, the expressions of Yun Chen and Shen Fei changed again.
Shen Fei has a high level of cultivation and is the best at fighting, but when it comes to strategy, he is not as good as those civil servants.
After listening to Zhou Yuan's discussion, I realized that things were not that simple.
"Then the only way to crack the magic circle is to break it. Now I have recruited all the well-known magic circle masters in the country, but this magic circle is a spiritual magic circle, and it is not that simple to crack it. If you delay it, you will have to wait four days.
If my brother arrives with his troops, we will be in trouble."
Yun Chen said anxiously.
Zhou Yuan also said with a solemn expression: "I will find a way to crack the magic circle. Now take me to see the magic circle masters. I want to know what discoveries they have made in the past few days."
"Okay, follow me." Yun Chen didn't waste any time and flew away with Zhou Yuan.
In the sky above the palace, Yun Chen pointed out five directions to Zhou Yuan.
"The entire palace is square. Four of the corners are the core of the array. The fifth core is in the Tongming Hall in the central area of the palace. In addition to these five areas, there are also many auxiliary array cores in other areas. If you want to crack the five major array cores,
If you want to use the core, you need to crack other auxiliary array cores first."
Yun Chen explained to Zhou Yuan the layout of the fully defensive five-sided and five-color flag array.
Zhou Yuan nodded slightly and looked at the entire palace.
In each of the five areas, there is a large flag fluttering in the wind. On the surface of the five large flags, densely packed runes are flickering and beating, emitting five kinds of divine light towards the sky.
Zhou Yuan looked slightly startled. The arrangement of this fully defensive formation was completely different from the arrangement of the formation when he participated in the Sky Eagle War.
The original five-pole flags were all placed in the square outside the palace to form the Sky Eagle Battle Arena.
But at this moment, the five-pole flag was inside the palace, activating the power of heaven and earth to condense a huge shield shadow, protecting the entire palace airtight.
Just as strong as the Sky Eagle Battle Arena was back then, the phantom shield formed at this moment was only as strong as it was. It was not that simple to break it violently.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard of Tiandao Guild?" Zhou Yuan suddenly asked.
He thought of the middle-aged man in white he met on the way to the imperial capital. He was a strong man in the Dragon Spirit Realm. If he were here, he might be able to break through the five-color flag array.
