Zhao Yuzhen pondered for a moment, then turned and entered the Taoist temple to announce some news.
"Effective immediately, all Taoist temples on Mount Qingcheng are closed, and no one is allowed to go up or down the mountain!"
.....
Apocalypse City.
In the palace
The once magnificent palace now appears eerily desolate.
It was as if there was no one in the vast palace.
Gusts of wind howled past.
Inside the main hall of the imperial palace.
A figure with gray hair sat hunched over on the dragon throne.
"Cough cough cough...."
Emperor Tai'an coughed a few times and asked in a hoarse voice, "In the entire palace, has not a single survivor been found?"
"Your Majesty, in the palace... this servant has not found a single living person. Everyone's eyes are bulging out, and their deaths are gruesome!"
Zhuo Qing still feels a lingering fear when he recalls the scene he witnessed when he first entered the palace.
The entire palace was filled with corpses. Each corpse was intact, but their faces were extremely grotesque and terrifying.
It was as if he had suffered immense torment and encountered some extreme fear before his death.
Then, Zhuoqing couldn't help but cough several times in a row.
His face was pale, and he had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.
"797" refers to that battle.
Of the five chief eunuchs, only he remained; all the others had perished in battle.
Although he survived, he wasn't in much better shape.
His meridians were severed all over his body, and his internal organs suffered an extremely strong impact.
With only nine-tenths of his former strength remaining, he was no different from a useless person.
They could only eke out a living.
Although Emperor Tai'an still held a sliver of hope, he also knew that it was an impossible thing.
So he wasn't surprised by Zhuo Qing's answer, but just sighed deeply.
His figure seemed to have become even more hunched over again.
"Ugh......"
"Xiang Gu is the emperor of Bei Li, the most powerful person in the world."
"I never imagined that one day I would encounter such an unexpected event!"
"Life is truly unpredictable!"
"Zhuoqing, do you think I really made a mistake more than ten years ago?"
After this incident, Emperor Tai'an seemed to become exceptionally sentimental, with a deep melancholy in his eyes.
"His Majesty!"
"You are the son of a celestial dragon, the chosen one of this world. The decisions you make cannot possibly be wrong!"
"As you predicted, the Ye family is indeed deeply entrenched in hidden dangers. It's just a pity that the Green King failed in his duties, allowing the Ye family's only heir to escape!"
"That's what led to the bitter consequences we have today!"
Zhuo Qing said repeatedly.
"Grand Eunuch Zhuoqing, you are the only one left by my side now," Emperor Tai'an said hoarsely. "Speak freely about whatever you have to say. You have been with me for decades, there is no need for such formalities."
Zhuo Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is definitely something very strange about Ye Dingzhi!"
"Never before in history has anyone cultivated so quickly! Even the most outstanding geniuses need several years to slowly accumulate experience."
"It's unbelievable that someone could cultivate from the Vajra Mortal Realm to the Half-Step Divine Realm Perfection in just six months."
"Six months ago, when Ye Dingzhi was still Yu Shengmo's disciple, he was just a genius with good talent."
"Even if one were to fall into demonic possession, it would be impossible for such a significant leap in cultivation level!"
Speaking of it.
Zhuo Qing paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "If our Northern Li Dynasty can find out the real reason why Ye Dingzhi has grown so quickly!"
"Perhaps, we can also create a large number of unparalleled masters in the shortest amount of time!"
"At that time, our Northern Li Dynasty will once again stand at the pinnacle!"
The words fell.
Emperor Tai'an was startled: "Excellent! If we can replicate Ye Dingzhi's methods of becoming stronger, my Northern Li Dynasty will rise again!"
But soon.
Emperor Tai'an then realized the most crucial problem: "Even with all the resources of my Northern Li Dynasty, we still couldn't defeat Ye Dingzhi."
"If we can't capture Ye Dingzhi, how can we talk about acquiring the means by which Ye Dingzhi becomes stronger?"
Zhuo Qing said, "Nowadays, Ye Dingzhi is a demon who brings disaster to the world, and everyone has the right to kill him."
"We only need to unite the major sects and deal with Ye Dingzhi together."
"At that time, will Ye Ding be able to fight against the whole world by himself?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Good! Then let's do as you say!"
At this time.
Qi Tianchen, standing to the side, said weakly, "Your Majesty, my master and junior brother are unparalleled masters in this world."
"Especially my junior brother Mo Yi, who is at the peak of the Divine Travel Realm, is the only immortal in the world who can be called peerless. He can ride the wind, travel with the wind, coexist with heaven and earth, and grow old with the sun and moon. His strength is even stronger than that of the Sword Guardian."
"Perhaps... I can ask them to come and help."
Emperor Tai'an immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Is this true?!"
It should be noted that Xie Zhi, the guardian of the sword, almost killed Ye Dingzhi. If they had been outside the city, Ye Dingzhi would have been dead without a doubt.
However, the Imperial Preceptor Qi Tianchen said that he could invite two more peerless masters who were even stronger than Xie Zhize, the Sword Guardian, to come over.
If he were to face Ye Dingzhi again, wouldn't he be able to kill him instantly?!
Qi Tianchen slowly said, "Ye Dingzhi is a top-tier demon, and I'm sure my junior brother and master will not stand idly by."
"but."
"At this moment, they are all stationed in the secluded land of Penglai Island. The journey is long and arduous, and it may take me a long time to return."
"It's alright!" Emperor Tai'an hurriedly said, "Grand Preceptor, you should set off for Penglai Island immediately and invite your master and junior brother to come and suppress the demon."
"I have Xie Zhize, the sword guardian, protecting me here, so there's no need to worry too much!"
"As for Zhuoqing, you shall contact all the major sects in the world, gather the top experts, and conquer the demon Ye Dingzhi!"
Qi Tianchen bowed, his whisk swaying slightly in his hand: "Your subject obeys the decree!"
Zhuo Qing replied in a high-pitched voice, "This servant obeys the decree!"
"correct!"
Emperor Tai'an seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "And there's also the young master of the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion, Baili Dongjun!"
"If I remember correctly, Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi have a very close and intimate relationship!"
"It seems there's a big problem with the Marquis of Zhenxi's residence!"
"Immediately send men to arrest everyone in the Marquis of Zhenxi's residence! I want to interrogate them myself!"
"If the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion dares to resist, kill them without mercy!"
......
Southwest Pass, the residence of the Marquis of Zhenxi.
At this time, the night in Linglong 100 was deep, but the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion was brightly lit with 167 lights.
An old man with a dignified expression was anxiously waiting for something at the entrance of the Marquis's residence.
At this time.
A horse-drawn carriage slowly approached from the street corner.
"My lord!" A servant rushed over.
"Where is Dongjun?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
“It’s inside the carriage,” the servant said. “But it was tied with the Heavenly Dragon Lock on the orders of the Crown Prince.”
Upon hearing this, Baili Luochen's expression turned angry, and he said in a deep voice, "Immediately unlock the Heavenly Dragon Lock!"
"Yes!"
Inside the carriage.
As the servant untied the Heavenly Dragon Lock from Baili Dongjun's body, he said, "Young Master, the Marquis is waiting for you."
Baili Dongjun slowly got up and got off the carriage.
Upon seeing Baili Dongjun, Baili Luochen hurried over to him and looked him up and down.
"Dongjun."
"You've worked hard."
Baili Dongjun looked haggard and lowered his head, saying, "Grandpa..."
Baili Luochen sighed: "This time, your father made a tough decision. Grandpa once promised him that from now on, he would decide everything in the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion."
"I never expected something this big to happen!"
Baili Dongjun said in a low voice, "This time Dongjun has made a big mistake, please punish me, Grandfather. However, Dongjun has only one request."
"Please help my friend, Grandpa, and after he recovers, please send him away from Qiandong City."
Baili Luochen nodded: "Okay!"
Baili Dongjun suddenly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Grandpa! I've caused you so much trouble!"
Baili Luochen quickly pulled Baili Dongjun up: "What trouble could there be? Get up and we'll talk about it!"
Baili Dongjun slowly stood up.
Seeing this, Baili Luochen sighed deeply: "Grandpa knows about your affairs."
"Grandpa thinks you did nothing wrong."
"If Grandpa had had your youthful courage back then, Ye Yu might still be alive today, and Ye Dingzhi wouldn't have fallen into demonic possession and ended up like this."
"Don't worry, Dongjun, I'll take responsibility for everything. I won't be like that fool Ye Yu. If anyone dares to touch my family, I'll make them pay!"
In the end, Baili Luochen exuded a chilling murderous aura.
......
In the houfu.
Baili Luochen took out his dusty, treasured sword and wiped it with a cloth...
Wen Luoyu sat upright to one side, her chest heaving, her brows furrowed with rage.
Upon seeing this scene, Baili Luochen slowly said, "Ayu."
Wen Luoyu seemed to be still immersed in anger and did not hear Baili Luochen's voice.
It wasn't until Baili Luochen called out several times that he suddenly came to his senses.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Baili Luochen reminded him, "Wait a moment, and try to control your emotions."
Wen Luoyu replied, "Father, rest assured, it will not go too far."
