Inside the imperial city of Yangjing, palace maids and eunuchs throughout the palace were in a hurry, with panic-stricken looks on everyone's faces. Many palace servants even began to flee secretly. Yangjing was no longer closed, and the people in the city fled the city madly and headed into the distance.
Overnight, most of Yangjing was empty. Even ordinary families knew that Yangjing had become a place of trouble. Even if they hid in the countryside, they had to stay away from it.
The whole Yangjing was in chaos. The Shenwu Army was defeated too quickly, or it could be said that the Seven Killing Stars Jin Niu'er killed the commander of the Shenwu Army in one fell swoop, causing the entire Shenwu Army to be destroyed and the entire north to be lost, which caught no one off guard.
The Great Zhou Emperor Kong Qi has decided to move the capital to Gaoyang City, Gaozhou. It was the capital of the ancient Gao State and also the most dangerous place in the south of the Great Zhou. It relies on Shuwang Mountain as a barrier and is backed by Shaozhou and the entire south. The Great Zhou Taizu Kong Huai used this as the capital to establish his throne and rule the world.
As the emperor, Kong Qi had another intention. Originally, one of the two armies, Yulong Zhenwu, was stationed far away in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south, and the other was stationed on the border of Gaozhou and Shaozhou. They were originally responsible for defending the Dragon Temple at the mouth of the river and the numerous aquatic creatures, as well as the East China Sea Dragon Palace, which had been restless and constantly reaching out to Dongzhou for thousands of years.
The two armies are separated from Yangjing by the entire Zhongzhou, Changdi and Tengdi. As the saying goes, the emperor is far away and the sky is high. Yangjing and the Longting of Da Zhou are simply unable to take care of them. In addition, the contract with the underworld Yinlusi signed at the beginning of the founding of Da Zhou was destroyed by Emperor Yama, and no one can restrain these princes anymore, so the two armies are completely out of control.
The officers and soldiers of these two armies had been granted titles by the imperial court of the Great Zhou for generations, and many of them were still loyal to the Great Zhou. This was the reason why the Marquis of Changping of the Yulong Army and the commander of the Zhenwu Army did not dare to follow the example of the Marquis of Wuwei and raise the banner of rebellion.
Once the capital is moved to Gaoyang, Emperor Kong Qi will no longer be as passive as before. If he can weaken the power of two of the military marquises, he will be able to regain control of the Yulong and Zhenwu armies. Kong Qi is not without the power to turn the tables.
But before that, Kong Qi also planned to go to Bu County. No matter what, Da Zhou had to win the support of the Imperial Academy.
Except for a few immortals and gods, most people in the world did not know that Feng Sheng of the Academy had already descended to the Dongzhou and was now in the Shangxian Academy. The Great Zhou Emperor Kong Qi certainly did not know either. He went there to obtain Gongyang Li, the father and son who held the preaching jade slips and mastered the world's cultural context.
More and more Gu Eagles gathered above the sky, especially in the sky above Yangjing, where the densely packed Gu Eagles almost blocked out the sky.
The inner treasury, which was guarded by thousands of imperial guards and had Taoist texts inlaid on every floor tile, was now completely opened. Dozens of magnificent magic ships were released from the sealed warehouse at the command of the inner treasury clerk.
The big ship swelled up when the wind came, and in an instant it was taller than the palaces and even the walls of the imperial city, pressing down on the imperial city like several huge mountains.
Large ships crisscrossed the city, occupying all the open space within the imperial city.
This one magic ship is enough to be the treasure of an ordinary large sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. However, at this moment, Da Zhou has taken out dozens of them at once, which is enough to show its profound foundation.
All the guards acted quickly, and all the contents of the inner treasury were moved onto the large ships. All kinds of rare treasures, mountains of magical instruments, and pills packed in gourds and covered with large tripods directly filled the two large ships.
These are the wealth and treasures passed down from the Great Zhou Dynasty for nearly a thousand years. They are also the foundation for the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the final heritage of Emperor Kong Qi.
Thousands of soldiers holding halberds boarded the ship, followed by palace maids and eunuchs. Everyone took everything that could be carried from the entire imperial city onto the ship.
Another ship stopped in front of the east gate of the imperial city. The families of court officials boarded the ship and would migrate to the southeast with the emperor.
On the last and largest dragon boat, Emperor Kong Qi boarded the boat, holding the Nine-Dragon Imperial Seal, surrounded by his ministers.
Many of the ministers covered their faces and cried, especially the palace maids and eunuchs, who were wailing loudly. The Emperor Kong Qi also had a sad face, standing on the boat and constantly looking back at the capital of the Great Zhou.
As the sun sets in the capital, thousands of houses and buildings glow with a faint light.
In the prosperous and majestic capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was panic in the city. People and cars on the streets were rushing outside frantically. There was chaos, fighting, looting, and fires broke out in many places. The remaining people were trying their best to leave. Although Emperor Kong Qi ordered the opening of the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, there were still many people blocking the gates and had not left yet.
Everything reveals the desolation and madness after the prosperity. The slowly setting sun, just like the current Great Zhou, is about to exit, and no one knows whether the sun that rises tomorrow will be the same one that sets today.
“Woo woo!”
“Boom!”
Runes on the large ships lit up, and magic power continued to spread along the keel hulls made of spiritual wood, forming large formations that enveloped each magic ship and spiritual boat. The practitioners of the Imperial Observatory controlled the large formations and spiritual platforms and lifted them into the air.
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
Dozens of magic ships and spirit boats vibrated with spiritual light at the same time, intertwining with each other. The densely packed Gu eagles that were originally circling in the sky now madly crashed into the magic ships and spirit boats, as if trying to stop them from leaving.
The Gu Diao made a terrifying sound like a baby crying, and the flying soldiers of the Rong people covered in feathers attacked the ship fearlessly.
When dozens of magic ships and spirit boats appeared in the imperial city and the four city gates were opened to allow people to enter and exit Yangjing, the Gu Diao flying army in the sky already knew that the Dragon Court of the Great Zhou had no intention of defending Yangjing to the death, but wanted to abandon the city, and quickly sent the news to Longqiu City in the rear.
Knowing that the Dragon Court of Great Zhou was about to abandon its capital Yangjing, the Seven Killer Star Jin Ni'er, who had been waiting in Longqiu City for the follow-up army of the Great Rong Royal Court, set out from Longqiu City overnight, leading a total of 100,000 cavalrymen, including tens of thousands of wolf riders and the Rong riders that gathered later, to attack Yangjing, hoping to stop the Emperor of Great Zhou before then.
But it was too late. In the end, only the Seven Killing Stars Jin Ni'er rushed to Yangjing alone at high speed. The moment he arrived, he did not hesitate at all and slashed at the dragon boat flying away in the sky across dozens of miles.
"I've heard that the people of the Great Zhou in the Central Plains are hospitable and warm. Why did Jin Ni'er come all the way here, but Your Majesty turned around and left?"
"Why not stay and experience the enthusiasm of the Beirong people?"
Dao attacked first, and then he spoke, but Jin Ni'er's domineering and cold voice came first.
The blood-red sword light looked like flowing out like cloth, covering the sky, and rolling towards the dragon boat where the Great Zhou Emperor Kong Qi was. The air exploded layer by layer, and strong winds blew over the earth. The rumbling storm and air waves caused houses to collapse in large numbers.
On the dragon-shaped building ship, the emperor stood on the top of the palace. Facing the sword light that was crisscrossing the sky, he did not show any fear and his expression did not change. The director of the Imperial Observatory beside him raised his hand, and dozens of building ships combined into a large formation, colliding with the sword light.
"Bang~"
The force spread upward and downward along the collision, and in an instant, a huge ravine appeared less than twenty or thirty miles outside Yangjing City.
The power emanating from the blood-red blade light also carried a terrifying murderous intent, and all the plants around the abyss ravine died and withered in an instant.
Dozens of large ships flew away from the sky. Emperor Kong Qi looked at the figure of the Seven Killing Stars Jin Ni'er in the distance without saying a word, but this silence carried an invisible pressure and contained a power that was about to explode.
The large number of flying Gu eagles that were originally around the big ship quickly retreated and surrounded the Seven Killing Stars Jin Niu'er. Jin Niu'er did not have tens of thousands of wolf riders and military riders by his side, and did not dare to chase them. He could only watch them go away.
The Rong people moved southward, and the emperor fled to Bu County with his ministers. Yangjing fell.
The former Marquis of Wuwei, the current King of Wei, who fought for Panzhou, is still fighting a bloody battle with the new army of the Great Zhou. However, with the fall of Yangjing, the new army of the Great Zhou has become an isolated army trapped in the enemy and no longer has any support.
This meant that the Great Zhou had lost most of its territory and its capital. In the eyes of the people of the world, the Great Zhou was almost destroyed and could only survive.
The birth of a Tan Lang star caused the Great Zhou to collapse. The appearance of Qi Sha Xing stars left the Great Zhou with only the power to survive. The power of the three Sha Po Lang stars was known to the world.
In Yangjing, most of the aristocratic families and sects had already evacuated, but the great Buddhist Master Dabei in Yangjing Dabei Temple had not left yet. He had been sitting in the forbidden hall of the Dabei Temple with two disciples at the Arhat level, chanting scriptures.
The golden light flowed through their bodies throughout the entire forbidden hall. Above the eerie and terrifying forbidden hall, there was actually a black Buddha statue enshrined. It was unknown whether it was a man or a woman. It had a smile on its face, but it revealed an extremely evil aura.
This is obviously an evil Buddha.
As the sound of chanting continued to be heard, the black and red light from the evil Buddha's body could not be suppressed. The darkness continued to spread along the Buddha statue, engulfing the entire forbidden hall and Dabei Temple.
The last two Buddhist practitioners at the Arhat level fled outside in terror. Two Buddha lights that were hundreds of meters long and wide flashed up. Before they could escape from the temple, they were grabbed by Wuming in the darkness and let out a scream.
Dabei was surrounded by darkness, sitting in the forbidden hall with no expression of sadness or joy. He opened his mouth and said to the existence in the darkness: "It's time for you to be born, Luohu!"
