C287 The Demon Beasts Are Coming
The flames lingered in the air, and soon, Zuo Zongtang was burned to ashes. A Daolord, a peerless expert, was burned to death in front of everyone. Everyone's heart was inexplicably moved.
This was a Expert of Dao Lord, but it was actually killed? Even though the scene before their eyes was real, some people still couldn't believe it was real. That was a Expert of Dao Lord, the pinnacle existence in this world.
There was no light in the sky. Clouds and mist covered the stars, obscuring the moonlight. It was as if they were mourning the death of a Daolord.
old servant stood there with his saber in hand. He was invincible throughout the ages.
old servant made his move. The Expert of Dao Ancestors that he had been holding to give it a try began to gradually leave.
Even Daolords had fallen here, so they were just giving their lives away.
"Is he really dead?" Liang Yiyi asked in a daze. This was the first time she had seen a Daolord die. This was a Daolord. In her understanding, Daofathers were already very powerful existences, and Daolords were even more so. But today, such an invincible existence had fallen.
Zuo Zongtang, a mighty and mighty Daolord had actually died in such a cowardly manner.
"He's dead!"
Ye Shengyun said. In an instant, Zuo Zongtang was burned. His body, soul, and avatar were all burned without exception.
"This battle should have come to an end." Lou Lanqu took a deep breath and said. Only now did he feel slightly relieved. This night was destined to be earth-shattering and soul-stirring.
"Zuo Zongtang is already dead. There should be no one who will attack again."
Yao Tianming said. Since all the Daolords had died here, who would not be sensible enough to come and seek death?
old servant descended from the sky and put away his golden blade. His clothes had returned to their original appearance. He looked like a withered old man. His body was skinny, and he felt like he was going to fall down at any moment.
"You are the best!"
old servant waved his hand and sat in the pavilion. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood splashed on the ground and white smoke rose from the ground.
"This is?" Lou Lanqu looked at old servant in shock.
"It doesn't matter. All the fire has entered your body. You only need to recuperate for a while." old servant said slowly. His voice was a little heavy. From his voice, one could tell that old servant's injury was a little serious.
Although he had killed Zuo Zongtang and rushed out of the Eight Treasure Tripod, he was still infected by the hundred thousand flames inside the cauldron. The flames entered his body, and his blood boiled like boiling water. If he hadn't used his spirit energy to suppress the heat waves, old servant believed that his body would have exploded and died.
"Good! You can rest. I'll send someone to find the Imperial Physician now!"
Ye Shengyun said anxiously. Ye Shengyun waved his hand and went alone to look for Imperial Physician Wen and the others. After Imperial Physician Wen obtained the Hundred Herb Formula, he left with the others. He was currently studying the pill refinement method and pill formula recorded in it. He was truly oblivious to what was happening outside the window. He didn't even let Imperial Physician Wen and the others come out to take a look.
"We have to be careful next!"
old servant said weakly.
Lou Lanqu, Yao Tianming, and Ye Shengyun looked at each other. What did this mean? Wasn't the crisis solved? Even a Daolord like Zuo Zongtang had died here. Who else was coming? Could it be that a Daolord had arrived? This shouldn't be the case!
Since when did a Daolord become someone who didn't need money? There were Expert of Dao Lords everywhere.
"Don't you all think that Zuo Zongtang's Daolord weapon is a little strange?" old servant looked at the three of them.
"It's a little strange. He said that he had killed a hundred thousand demonic beasts, and they were fire-type demonic beasts. Such a huge number is easy to say, but it's easier said than done to find a hundred thousand fire-type demonic beasts. Let alone him, even our Shenglan Ancient Country will need some time to complete it!"
Yao Tianming said. old servant's words had reminded them of something, but when they thought about it, Zuo Zongtang's words were a little strange.
"Could it be a lie?"
Ye Hanluo frowned and asked. One hundred thousand demon beasts might be a number, but Zuo Zongtang was trying to save his face.
Ye Shengyun shook his head. Zuo Zongtang was a Expert of Dao Lord, there was no need for him to do so. If he said one hundred thousand, it must be one hundred thousand. There was no doubt about it.
"It is indeed 100,000 demonic beasts. I felt it in the Eight Treasure Tripod!" old servant said.
"That is strange!" Liang Yiyi said, "How did he collect 100,000 demonic beasts? Could it be that there is a powerful force supporting him from behind? But that shouldn't be the case. What kind of force could help him gather 100,000 demonic beasts?"
Liang Yiyi shocked everyone. Lou Lanqu and the others immediately thought of something when she said that.
"Hundred Beast Ancient Kingdom!"
They said at the same time. According to Liang Yiyi's train of thought, only the Hundred-Beast Ancient Kingdom could help Zuo Zongtang accomplish this task. Apart from that, no other force had the ability to do so.
The Ancient Kingdom of a Hundred Beasts was an imperial beast empire. Almost everyone in the Ancient Kingdom of a Hundred Beasts could use their imperial beasts. There were millions of citizens, so it was easy for them to gather a hundred thousand demonic beasts.
"That's right. Other than the Hundred-Beast Ancient Kingdom, no other force has met this requirement!" Lou Lanqu nodded and said.
"Zuo Zongtang has appeared. Could it be that the Hundred Beast Ancient Kingdom has taken action?"
Ye Shengyun looked at everyone. He had sent out a Expert of Dao Lord. Now that he thought about it, he was afraid that it wasn't just for the Expert of Dao Lord, but also for the Shenglan Ancient Country.
"By the way, isn't Lee Mooh from the Hundred Beasts Ancient Kingdom? Didn't he say that there are many people hiding in the capital? Do you think Zuo Zongtang has anything to do with them?" Liang Yiyi said.
If this is the case, it will be dangerous. Pass on my order and have Huang Huai bring the marquis outside Golden Army City and enter the city as soon as possible. "
Ye Shengyun took out a token and threw it to a Expert of Dao Ancestor beside him.
This person took the token and immediately disappeared.
"There's a Silver Army in the city. They won't act rashly. When Huang Huai arrives with Golden Army, they will have nothing to worry about."
Yao Tianming said. The people of the Hundred-Beast Ancient Kingdom wouldn't be able to cause any trouble even if they sent out two armies.
"We still need to be on guard." Lou Lanqu said worriedly. With the Expert of Dao Lord deployed, it was likely that the Ancient Kingdom had planned this beforehand. They must have come here separately, and they couldn't afford to let their guard down.
"No matter how we force them to retreat, it's not a small harvest!"
If the Hundred-Beast Ancient Kingdom were to start a riot when the Daofathers arrived, it would truly be a difficult task.
"Boom!"
Just as the three of them were discussing countermeasures, a loud explosion suddenly rang out. The surrounding people could hear it very clearly. The sound was right beside their ears.
"What's that sound?" Lou Lanqu looked around and asked. Didn't this Dao Ancestor leave? Why was there such a sound? The ground was shaking. It felt like the capital was going to collapse.
"Qiong Qi beast!"
old servant coughed and said. Qiong Qi Beast was an ancient demon beast. It had a huge body and an extremely ferocious attack. It could be said that it was an existence like the king of the forest.
"Where did this Qiong Qi Beast come from?"
Ye Shengyun asked in surprise. How could there be a Qiong Qi Beast in the capital? Could it be that it came from the Royal Hunting Ground? But this shouldn't be the case. The Royal Hunting Ground was guarded by special guards. How could a poor strange beast come out so easily? Besides, a demon beast like the poor strange beast wouldn't appear at the edge of the forest.
"Sir, it's bad. The poor exotic beasts have appeared in the eastern region of the capital. Many buildings have been destroyed, and countless casualties have occurred. The Silver Army has rushed over. They request for the next order!" One of them came over to report. Ye Shengyun and Lou Lanqu realized that something was not right.
"Could it be that the Hundred Beasts Ancient Kingdom has made a move? "Order everyone to enter the cave to seek refuge. Lord Lou, you will take charge of the situation. I will go meet His Majesty and ask His Majesty to mobilize the royal guards!" Ye Shengyun said.
"Alright, leave this to me." Lou Lanqu said. Ye Shengyun turned around and left with the others.
"The Qiongqi Beast has appeared. The rest of the demonic beasts should be here as well. Master Lou, I will go first." Yao Tianming stepped forward and said. He was in charge of the capital. The Yao family could not stay out of this at this time.
"Old prince, you are injured now!" Lou Lanqu said worriedly. Yao Tianming and Ye Longgun's palm strike could be said to be a life and death battle. Although Xiao Chen had helped alleviate the injuries in Yao Tianming's body, this injury still required a long period of time to heal.1
"It's alright!"
Yao Tianming turned around and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Send the order to be on alert. Except for ordinary people who have gone into the cave to seek refuge, all cultivators are to fight." Lou Lanqu frowned and did not say anything.
"Master, it's not good. A large number of demon beasts have been found in the south region!"
"The north area has also been discovered!"
"The east region has also been discovered. They are currently crazily attacking, and a large area of damage has already appeared!"
"Sir, those demonic beasts are pressing down on the Imperial Palace!"
One by one, the situation was reported. This was indeed a premeditated matter. Lou Lanqu frowned slightly. "Where is the Golden Army now?"
"They are outside the city, but they didn't do anything." One of them said.
"They didn't do anything. Could it be that Huang Huai wants to rebel?" Lou Lanqu said angrily. Huang Huai had a deep relationship with the Yang family. The Yang family had been destroyed, and the imperial court had allowed this to happen. Huang Huai couldn't let this go. Lou Lanqu didn't expect Huang Huai to be so confused at this moment.
Huang Huai had yet to dispatch his troops. He should be trying to force the imperial court to give the Yang family a proper name.
"A war has broken out in the city. Are we still not going to send out our troops? If His Majesty finds out about this, he will be charged with this crime. " I'm afraid... "A commander from the Golden Army came to Huang Huai and said in a low voice.
After all, King Xian had ordered them to enter the city as soon as anything unusual happened in the city. If they didn't enter the city now, they would be disobeying the order.
"It's fine. If there is anything, I will take responsibility. Today, I want to see how the Imperial Court will decide!" Huang Huai said with a heavy tone. He wanted the Imperial Court to realize his mistake. He wanted to give the Yang family a proper name. If the Imperial Court did not agree, he would not send troops.
"I understand!"
The man nodded and retreated.
"Your Majesty!" Ye Shengyun came to the study room. The Emperor was reading the documents. When he saw Ye Shengyun, the Emperor put down the documents and asked the people around him to give him a seat.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of a Hundred Beasts is attacking the capital. I request Your Majesty to send out the royal guards!" "Yes," Ye Shengyun said.
"Of course, I agree!" The king did not hesitate and approved Ye Shengyun's request. He believed Ye Shengyun's character. The royal guards were the king's biggest reliance. If he transferred the royal guards away, the king would lose his guards. If anyone tried to harm him, the king would be in grave danger.
However, the Emperor did not hesitate at all.
"Your majesty, if Huang Huai does not send troops, please make the decision!" Lou Lanqu walked in. Ye Shengyun asked him to take charge of the situation, but Huang Huai was not an ordinary person. He did not dare to make the decision on his own.
"What? How dare Huang Huai threaten the Imperial Court at this moment? This is ridiculous!" Ye Shengyun said angrily. Huang Huai still didn't move at this time. He wanted to make a deal with the Imperial Court. He wanted to get involved in the matters of Yang family to the end.
"Pass on my order. Remove all of Huang Huai's duties and demote him to a Marquis of Ping. The territory will be given to Guiyuan Prefecture. Lou Lanqu will be appointed as the commander of Golden Army during his retirement." The Emperor immediately gave the order. The matter regarding the Yang family was tacitly approved by the Imperial Court. The Ye family had agreed to it. Huang Huai was challenging the Imperial Power. This was something that could not be tolerated.
It was already a great favor for the Emperor to not kill him!
