In fact, it was also because Chu Tianxiao had the cheat in hand that after learning about Qin Yun's "luck blood sacrifice", he sensed something was wrong and thought of many possibilities. Therefore, he had begun investigating many days in advance, and asked Gu Sheng a lot during the days in the iron shop... Combining many clues together, he finally strung the whole thing together at this moment!
"First, the demons' goals tonight are scattered, and they may have more than one goal... But their biggest goal should be a ritual!"
"Based on the natural treasures and formations that Mu Xin has collected over the years, this should be a summoning ritual that can summon a great figure! There are many things needed for such a ritual, but the most important ones should be two things."
"One is the Black Sky Blood Altar! Judging from what happened to my Liu Ling just now, it is obvious that such a thing has fallen into their hands. In this way, they can use the blood of their loved ones to defeat the weak and thus achieve the effect of 'cursing and killing'."
After these words fell, several big shots were thoughtful. They had seen Mu Liuling's strange behavior during the battle before, and they also had some doubts. At this moment, after Chu Tianxiao said this and Mu Liuling also stepped forward to explain in detail, they all believed this inference...
"The Black Sky Blood Altar is indeed the best thing to promote this spell. It seems... the demons have most likely obtained this thing."
"Fortunately, this kind of curse has many restrictions and can only be effective if one is below the level of Tongxuan. Otherwise, this trick of the demon clan would be really difficult to deal with... But then again, this Miss Mu at that time..."
Several important figures communicated with each other using their true energy to transmit sound, but they only concluded that Mu Liuling had a secret, but they did not probe too much. After all, business was more important.
"Prince Chu, please continue."
Chu Tianxiao was also thinking the same thing. He nodded and said, "The demons racked their brains to get in. The person they are going to summon tonight is definitely not an ordinary person! So, if they want to summon successfully, they will need a lot of 'firewood', and it is obviously a joke to bring it by themselves into Kyoto... This means that they must find enough weight in Kyoto..."
After a pause, Chu Tianxiao said slowly: "At first I thought Qin Yun's actions were a demonstration, a build-up of momentum, and a provocation, but now I think... I'm afraid his greater purpose is to collect 'firewood'! Of course, he probably doesn't know this, it's just that Mu Xin is behind it..."
After these words fell, several important figures all looked serious: "What does Prince Chu mean..."
"Yes... If after tonight, many geniuses from the major divine families in Kyoto suddenly die, and the demon clan's reinforcements arrive, what a blow it would be to our human race?" Chu Tianxiao looked at everyone and said solemnly, "Then the problem will be very serious!"
"But this is not the most troublesome thing..."
Chu Tianxiao tapped his fingers lightly and said, "Combining various signs, this is not the 'main ingredient' prepared by the demons, but just a chess piece to expand the results of the battle... Just imagine, if they rely on a group of strong men who have not even reached the Soul Awakening Realm, even if they have collected enough 'firewood', then the people they want to summon are too worthless, right?"
"So... the real main ingredient can't possibly be this."
As Chu Tianxiao spoke, he slowly paced, gazing at the magnificent palace where Emperor Zhou usually stayed, and said leisurely, "No matter how I think about it, there are only two main ingredients... One is the training tower of my Imperial Garden, but the Imperial Garden is completely under my control. The demons may have thought of stealing it, but the possibility is too small. At most, they can only be testing chess pieces. I'm afraid their real target is still the Forbidden City's... city defense formation!"
After these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked, and one important figure even frowned: "With His Majesty here, it is simply a foolish dream to want to reverse the spiritual energy of the formation and use it for their own benefit..."
"What if His Majesty is not in the Forbidden City at this moment, and it is impossible for him to return before dawn?"
After these words were spoken, the big shot suddenly froze, and everyone in the room also froze on the spot!
"Your Majesty sent out the Holy Sound earlier. How could it be possible that it is not in the Forbidden City?"
After being shocked, someone finally asked this question.
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao sighed and said leisurely: "This is the most troublesome thing tonight..."
The moment he finished speaking, something strange happened!
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the ground at the top of the Forbidden City, and a wisp of black gas came out. Then, as if spreading, there were sounds of shattering everywhere. The black gas rolled out, and soon gathered into black mist, which slowly floated up and formed a black circular barrier in mid-air, completely isolating this place from the outside world!
At the same time, countless obscure runes began to emerge in the air. The black air that was still rising condensed into black chains and hooked the ground. Then, there was a sound like an earthquake, and the ground... began to slowly fall!
"What's going on?"
“Damn it!”
Several strong men in the field quickly jumped up, crossed their hands, and displayed their lifelong skills. For a moment, colorful light waves flickered in the air, and gorgeous moves came one after another!
All I heard was a burst of explosions.
The black circular screen formed by the black fog was surprisingly... intact!
"How come?"
Upon seeing this, everyone in the field was surprised for a moment - you know, except for the few people who left earlier, these people can be said to be the top fighting force in Kyoto, but they united together and fought with all their strength, but they couldn't even break the black barrier
"... It's an internal blockade... What a weird formation..."
"The ground is still falling. Is there something under the Forbidden City?"
"I see... They want to trap us here. Fortunately, we can do it tonight!"
"... The demons must have been planning tonight's situation for a long time. I remember that this place was destroyed in the war, and the person in charge of its reconstruction was..."
"Ninth Prince! Prince of Nanyang?"
As soon as these words were uttered, before anyone had time to be surprised, the "ground" seemed unable to bear it any longer, and suddenly split into several pieces, falling straight down!
As the black air swept through, all the strong men and the younger generation fell!
…
…
Kyoto.
"The Ninth Prince has arrived! Everyone please leave!"
As the voice fell, a melodious sound of drums and music was heard everywhere. A team of two to three hundred people marched slowly, with dozens of beautiful palace maids scattering flowers and clearing the way, and some were playing various musical instruments. The heavy guards were vigilantly guarding a luxurious carriage in the center. When you look closely, you will find that there are many masters of the Mingyuan realm among them, and even many strong men in the Tongxuan realm!
At this moment, they were all wearing golden armor and marching forward in unison...
This posture made the onlookers gasp in amazement...
"Who... who is this?"
"Didn't you hear? The person who cleared the way just now said it was the Ninth Prince! The Prince of Nanyang from our Great Zhou!"
"So it's the prince... No wonder there's such a big scene..."
"Hehe, this prince is famous for being a happy prince who never meddles in other people's affairs. He has caused a lot of ridiculous incidents over the years. This time he came to the capital... It's probably because His Majesty missed him again... Hey, you guys, get out of the way!"
"Quick, get out of the way!"
The people of Kyoto who were watching looked at the imperial carriage with different expressions, some were teasing, some were envious, but none of them admired it. Because what this ridiculous Ninth Prince had done over the years was not worthy of their admiration... Especially when they saw the figures of several graceful women behind the curtain of the imperial carriage, there was even less admiration in their eyes...
“Hehehe…”
The Ninth Prince sat in the imperial carriage, but he had sharp eyes and ears, and was able to see the reactions of everyone in Kyoto. He laughed unconsciously...
"This is how I appear to the world, hehe..."
"Prince, after tonight, the entire Great Zhou is yours. Why bother about what a few lowly people say?" Beside him, a beautiful lady in palace clothes, with a rosy face and a hint of shyness, and her clothes were a little creased, let the Ninth Prince hold her slender waist, and gently reached out to pour him a glass of bright red wine, but said in a delicate voice...
"That's right... Your Majesty, why bother yourself with a bunch of lowly people?" The other beauty beside the Ninth Prince also said something hastily as if vying for favor. Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince laughed out loud, holding the waists of the two beauties in palace dresses tightly with his hands, and there was no trace of the absurdity in his voice as before!
"You two beauties are right. The Great Zhou is so prosperous... If I don't fight tonight, wouldn't it be as unbearable as these lowly people say?"
Just at this moment, a guard came forward.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the Forbidden City."
"Um… "
The Ninth Prince slowly clenched his fists, and his tone gradually changed...
"I have been lying dormant for decades, just for today!"
"Into the city!"
(ps: Ah, after so long of foreshadowing, it’s finally time to do something big! The sleepless night in the Forbidden City begins!)
