Chapter 124 The Four Heavenly Kings Attack the Imperial City
The Imperial Capital, Shandefang, Taotie Tower.
As early as the moment Du Kang took action in Linyuan City, Lu Shengdao, who had his clone and descendant in the city, knew exactly what happened. He was extremely shocked and confused by Du Kang's actions.
Du Kang was able to easily capture Liangzhou before, relying on the hundreds of years of management of Wu Shengjiao to smoothly transition his rule seamlessly.
He only became king in Liangzhou for just a few days, and now he suddenly takes action against Haizhou. So what if he can quickly capture the city of Haizhou by force? The influence of Wusheng and Rakshasa sects in Haizhou is not counted.
It is so powerful that it is difficult for him to deal with the weak players in the state in a short period of time.
If you rely on force to push it all the way, it will consume a lot of time, leaving the court a chance to breathe and fight back. Haizhou is a far more difficult place to become king than Liangzhou.
But the moment Lu Shengdao saw the Bibo Dragon Kings, he suddenly raised his head and said sadly.
"I almost forgot, you are from Haizhou..."
The two of them had been talking openly and honestly for too long. Seeing this, Du Kang pointed at the pig ears on the plate and asked immediately.
"Now this building called Daliang is about to collapse. As one of the pillars of this building, should Master Du choose to withdraw?"
Lu Shengdao was also a person who rebelled with Taizu of Daliang back then, and he was by no means a hesitant person.
After recognizing the current situation, he made an instant decision in his mind. He grabbed the pig ears and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them until his mouth was full of oil.
"It's been four hundred years. I have protected this dynasty for four hundred years, and I have fully developed my friendship with Ji Xie, and I have become worthy of the Ji family's kindness to me.
It just so happens that a wise king has come to the world today, and I should follow him to recreate the great cause of heaven and earth.
I am old, and I have no other aspirations in my heart. I just want to wait until your Majesty arrives at Dabao, so that I can get the share of food that your Majesty has given me today."
Lu Shengdao was asking for a promise from Du Kang, hoping that after the fall of the Liang Kingdom, he could get the Dragon Qi Heart he had longed for.
"I have also longed for the Dragon Heart Banquet, which is the holy product of the Food Path. After killing the real dragon in the sky, I will definitely give the dragon heart to Master Lu to cook it and make it famous in the world."
The deal was concluded, and the host and guest rejoiced. The two Ren-level monks, whose mouths were full of grease, looked at each other and laughed, as if the world was already in their hands.
When Du Kang received the Taibao Golden Seal from Lu Shengdao, plus the Taifu Golden Seal on the calligrapher's body and the Taifu Gold Seal begged from Nianci, he now had three Dragon Controlling Seals.
With only the Queen Mother's Seal in Xie Wanqing's hand, he could control the dragon energy of a country in Daliang.
Behind Lu Shengdao, Du Ruchun and Shi Mengge led many magic weapons and integrated into his body step by step. They looked at Du Kang who was playing with the golden seal and looked happy and said.
"With all due respect, once Haizhou is brought under His Majesty's rule, Xie Wanqing is very likely to be seriously injured and die in an instant, and the uncontrolled Dragon Qi will be a snake to be slaughtered.
When His Majesty ascends the throne in the presence of the kneeling ministers of Yanzhou, a new dragon energy of the country will be generated, and the use of this golden seal will no longer be great."
Du Kang put away the golden seal with his backhand and said with a sincere expression.
"It takes time to claim the throne of emperor. During the gap between the new dragon energy, I still need the old dragon energy of Liang to temporarily resist possible foreign enemies. The golden seal is still needed.
For this reason, the slaughter of Liang Guolong Qi may be postponed for some time. Leader Lu won’t mind this, right?”
Lu Shengdao put away the roasted suckling pig on the table, without any displeasure on his face, and said calmly.
"Your Majesty is the most important thing in everything. I have been waiting for hundreds of years and I am not in a hurry for this moment."
The two reached an agreement on this, but Du Kang, who had made the promise, had other ideas in mind.
Du Kang's participation in this rebellion was for his own spiritual practice from beginning to end, and any talk of plotting for the emperor's throne was just a means to hide from others.
What he wanted to follow was always the path he had planned, to unite all the dharma and become a free and carefree true Gui-level monk, instead of being an emperor who could only live for a hundred years.
Du Kang's real plan was to become a powerful minister of the Liang Kingdom after overthrowing Xie Wanqing, and to become an existence without the name of an emperor but with the reality of it.
It would be best to let Ji Xuanhuang become an emperor without the dragon spirit, and then Du Kang would marry her and make himself the regent to supervise the affairs of the country.
In this case, he will not have to bear the side effects of a country's dragon energy, but will also have enough power and strength to prepare for magic promotion in this country.
The purpose of Du Kang's rebellion was never to become emperor.
Letting Nian Ci and Lu Shengdao see the hope of rebellion and killing the dragon is just a way to deceive them. Once Du Kang can control the dragon energy, he will immediately turn his back on them.
"Without further delay, we will head to Bai Yujing now. If we wait for the news from Haizhou to come, it will be too late to take action.
We must find Xie Wanqing as soon as possible, prevent the leakage of the Canglong Zhentian Ruler and the Queen Mother's Golden Seal after her death, control Ji Xuanhuang and all the royal children, and try our best to appease the officials who are trying to win over Zhan Mohu..."
Du Kang told Lu Shengdao the prepared attack plan bit by bit. Soon, Lu Shengdao, who had the idea in his mind, spoke.
"Your Majesty has thought carefully and this plan is absolutely foolproof. Let's set off now."
The two people in the Taotie Tower had their own thoughts and walked out of the building together. Braving the wind and rain, they turned into two auras and flew towards Bai Yujing above their heads.
…
There is no natural rain in the emperor. The heavy rain that falls on time at the end of every month is just a cleaning mechanism in the city protection formation. The thunder and lightning filled with the power of the sun and the clear and flawless rain can cleanse the evil spirits and filth accumulated in the city.
The dust washed away completely.
Since the entire capital city is blessed by the Great Void Divine Curse, monks below the Gui rank cannot move long distances through space. Du Kang and Lu Shengdao can only choose to fly honestly and rush to the nearest Bai Yujing.
A palace gate - Beitianmen.
When they emerged from the clouds despite heavy rain, they saw an extremely beautiful scene.
The emperor on the ground is all overcast and rainy, but the white jade capital floating above is surrounded by fairy lights and thousands of auspicious colors. The white jade is the base, the qiong tree is the palace, the spiritual birds are peaceful and docile, and the palace maids who serve are fairy-like and heavenly...
This is a paradise filled with beautiful thoughts.
Du Kang, the rebellious minister and traitor, hid in Lu Shengdao's ears, and Lu Shengdao landed on the square in front of Beitianmen and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
The invisible dragon energy above Bai Yujing is still there, and the capital still maintains the most basic order. Neither of them is willing to force their way into the palace, which will cause some unnecessary twists and turns.
Lu Shengdao came to the eunuch guarding the gate and said to this beautiful eunuch.
"Excuse me, father-in-law, I have important military information to report to the Empress Dowager. It is extremely urgent. Please inform the Empress Dowager as soon as possible."
Lu Shengdao had been the eunuch for hundreds of years and was one of the people with the highest status in Daliang. How could the eunuch dare to neglect him? He directly took out the token used as a messenger and passed the news to the Empress Dowager.
The eunuch said compliments with a smile on his face.
"Please wait a moment, Taibao. The Queen Mother is always the quickest to respond to your visit. This rule for foreign ministers entering the palace is just a decoration for you.
From my point of view, you can just walk in directly."
Even though he was extremely anxious, Lu Shengdao did not show it, but talked to the eunuch in an approachable manner.
"Etiquette cannot be discarded, it is better to follow the rules.
Eunuch Liu, I recently got a pound of high-grade Hai Wu Ling tea. I know you like to drink it, so I will order someone to bring you some tomorrow."
"You are too polite. With your status, you always give things to slaves like us. How can we afford it?"
Before the two of them had even exchanged a few words, in the Beitianmen doorway, which was only closed once behind Eunuch Liu, several brand-new doors with flashing lights suddenly fell down.
At the same time, a huge square barrier rose up in the sky above Bai Yujing in an instant.
[Four Heavenly Kings Enchantment]: There are four palace gates in Baiyujing for entry and exit, which are guarded by the four heavenly kings: the Eastern King of the Kingdom, the Southern King of Growth, the Western King of Guangmu, and the Northern King of Duowen.
The four heavenly kings are all gods of the Qingjin Order. The heavenly king barrier they set up with Bai Yujing as a formation can achieve the effect of forbidding two realms and can even defend against short-term attacks by multiple Ren-level monks.
"It seems that Xie Wanqing, who has experienced successive rebellions by his imperial master and his imperial master, no longer trusts me, the Taibao.
As soon as we learned about the unrest in Haizhou, we sealed the palace gate."
Lu Shengdao frowned and fanned himself in front of him with the palm of his hand. An invisible wind was generated, blowing the eunuch in front of him into a cloud of scattered dust.
And continued to sweep towards the surroundings, easily killing all the soldiers on duty in the square.
Inside the Heavenly King's barrier, four thousand-foot-tall figures emerged. Their golden bodies were in different colors. They all looked majestic and ferocious. They were wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands. They were standing in the direction of the four palace gates of Bai Yujing.
They are the Eastern King of Dharma, with a white body, holding a jasper pipa; the Southern King of Growth, with a green body, holding the Prajna Wisdom Sword in his hand; the Western King of Guangmu, with a red body, carrying a blue-scaled demon dragon on his shoulder, and holding a centering orb in his hand.
; The King of Heavenly Wen in the North has a green body and holds a silver rat and a treasure flag in each hand.
Seeing what Lu Shengdao had done, the King of Tawen who was guarding Beitianmen, King Bishamon, stared at a pair of giant eyes protruding from the eye sockets, lowered his head and thundered about filial piety.
"After receiving the order, we will guard the palace gate to ensure that nothing happens to the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince.
As an important minister of a country, Taibao has known us for many years. I don’t know why he did this to commit rebellion. If there is any misunderstanding, please explain it clearly. Taibao must not make any mistakes."
"There is no misunderstanding. The Ji family has no virtue and is not worthy of stealing the throne of the emperor of a country. Today I am going to rebel against the Ji family."
Lu Shengdao looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, inhaling the massive wind into his belly. His body immediately inflated like a balloon, blowing up the colorful clothes.
He transformed into the same height as King Bishamonten, and his face turned into the appearance of a ferocious Rakshasa ghost. He held the shame sword and the turbid sword in both hands, and crossed the swords to chop towards the barrier.
Donglong——
In an earth-shattering oscillation, Bai Yujing at the foot of Lu Shengdao shook violently, and a shallow cross-shaped mark was cut on the brilliant barrier.
"It's too light, it's too light. The Taibao should call Nian Ci and Du Kang over. Together, the three of them might be able to break through the barrier of the Heavenly King."
With Bai Yujing's energy supply, the wounds on the barrier were completely healed in just a few breaths.
The four heavenly kings stood behind the barrier, seemingly arrogant, but in fact they were always vigilant about their surroundings.
For such a big thing as attacking the palace, the other two Sangong who were the first to rebel would definitely not let Lu Shengdao do it alone.
Moreover, the four heavenly kings received orders that their colleagues in Silhouette City would come to help them guard the palace, but after the barrier was raised, their colleagues were never seen.
These changes made the four heavenly kings feel a little uneasy.
"Are you waiting for reinforcements from Silhouette City? Then I have to tell you some sad news.
The one Green Cultivation God and the 12 Golden Cultivation Gods that have been sleeping in Silhouette City for many years should now be blocked by Nianci Granny, whom you have been thinking about so much.
Only the four of you who have stayed here to watch the gate all year round have escaped this disaster. Although the timely opening of the barrier today is a bit unexpected, you are not a difficult opponent."
As Lu Shengdao spoke, he held the sword in his backhand. In the unprecedented sword energy, he collided and rubbed their edges. Then he gathered the tips of the sword at one point and pierced the barrier like a thorn.
within.
[Pure and Turbidity Together]: The Shameless Sword and the Dangzhuo Sword are forged from two kinds of chaotic energy, the purest and the most turbid. This set of pure and turbid sword combination skills is powerful enough to penetrate the membrane of heaven and earth.
Lu Shengdao pulled the sword in two directions with both hands, and with a tearing sound like a broken brocade, a huge gap appeared in the barrier.
Du Kang took the opportunity to jump out of Lu Shengdao's ear, flew into Baiyujing through the gap, and jumped into the depths.
"Thief, where are you going?"
Seeing this, King Bishamont opened his giant hand that covered the sky and grabbed Du Kang, but Lu Shengdao outside the barrier easily reached out and grabbed his arm.
In this moment of delay, Du Kang used his ax to cut a crack in Bai Yujing's void, and then drilled in.
He successfully dodged the pipa sound wave of King Dhrita, the sword of wisdom of Growth King, and the orb of King Guangmu, and the whole person disappeared directly into the white jade capital.
Following the unbreakable connection between the clones, he identified the location of the inner warehouse of the beam in the chaotic void, and went to rescue his clone calligrapher.
On the other side, Lu Shengdao also took advantage of the opportunity before the barrier was restored. He first shrunk his body to the size of a normal person, then flew into the barrier to grow bigger again, and slashed at the nearest King Bishamon with his sword.
"Be careful when killing people. Your opponent is me, Lu Shengdao. Don't lose your life because of your carelessness and underestimating the enemy..."
