The Holy City, the most prosperous and huge city in the Holy Dynasty, is now dark, and there is no longer the bright scene of thousands of lights in the past.
Even deep inside the palace, the lights were dim, blending into the darkness.
The only sound left in this world is the shrill sound of the strong wind sweeping through the surrounding streets.
"The atmosphere in this sacred city is really weird!"
A speck of dust followed the wind and passed through a street. Mu Feng and Jiuyuan in the Golden Book World both saw that the doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were closed, and the lights were extinguished and pitch black.
Apart from the sound of wind, there was no other sound in the entire capital, not even the night watchman.
Arriving at the entrance of the palace, Mu Feng found that the guards guarding both sides of the entrance had dull eyes and dull expressions, looking like zombies.
"When did the Holy City become like this?"
Mu Feng's face darkened, and something felt more and more wrong in his heart.
Compared with the quiet and deserted streets outside the palace, the interior of the palace is relatively normal, and there are also patrols patrolling the main roads.
But if you look closely, you will see that these patrols are not normal. Each one of them has a dull look, like a walking corpse.
Mu Feng felt uneasy when he saw the strange behavior of these patrols in the Golden Book World. Although he wanted to investigate personally, he was afraid of being exposed, so he resisted the urge.
Soon, Mu Feng and Jiuyuan searched the entire palace with the help of the wordless golden book. Even the prison in the palace where felons were detained, there were no traces of Cang Hongshen, Qi Yan and other cabinets, the Hanlin Academy and even the royal family.
Traces of the middleman.
Bang bang bang! Suddenly, streaks of fire suddenly burst out from all around the palace, rushing high into the sky, forming a bright light, reflecting the palace and the sacred city like daylight.
Mu Feng controlled the wordless golden book to stop, and looked upward through the sight of the wordless golden book.
There, a figure stood slowly in the air.
When he saw the true face of this figure, his face became cold and solemn, because this figure was none other than Mu Qingcang.
At this moment, Mu Qingcang's eyes were a strange black-red color, and a strange smile appeared on his face, looking down at the palace.
"Mu Feng! My good son, I know you are already here. There is no need to hide, just come out!"
Mu Qingcang grinned, his voice seemed a bit sharp, and it sounded creepy and weird.
And Mu Feng also noticed that when Mu Qingcang spoke, everyone in the palace, including the patrols, guards, maids, etc., seemed to have stopped and stood motionless.
"Um?
Are we exposed?"
In the wordless golden book, Mu Feng's face changed slightly.
Jiuyuan shook his head and said: "It should not have been exposed, otherwise, Mu Qingcang would not have appeared with great fanfare, but would have directly let Youran take action!"
"But how did he know that we entered the palace?"
Mu Feng asked with some confusion.
"Maybe they have some way of sensing the intruder, but they can't determine the specific location!"
Jiuyuan murmured.
Hearing this, Mu Feng nodded and his eyes fell on Mu Qingcang, but his attention shifted to the surroundings. He was guarding against Youran and the others who were hiding in the dark.
"You don't care whether these people live or die?"
At this time, Mu Qingcang's voice sounded again, he snapped his fingers, and a dark palm appeared from the void behind him.
This palm is very huge, dozens of miles in size. In its palm, lies a dark cage.
Inside the cage, a group of people are trapped.
In the cage, Mu Feng saw the new king Ying Hong, the first assistant Cang Hongshen, the bachelor Qi Yan, the bachelor Yu Luan and other cabinet ministers. He also saw his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, as well as many civil and military officials he had seen in the court.
Hundreds of officials.
He could see that everyone in the royal family headed by Ying Hong looked desperate, and everyone was in a state of despair. Even Ying Hong had a sad look on his face, completely lacking the magnanimity and calmness of a king.
The other civil and military officials were like headless flies, panicking and begging for mercy.
Only Cang Hongshen and the five great scholars were sitting in the prison cell, with their eyes slightly closed, and their faces showing the desire to die. They were obviously prepared to regard death as home.
"Mu Feng! You should know all of these people! Cang Hongshen, Qi Yan, Yu Luan, Ying Si, etc. are all people who are familiar with you, and some of them are your masters, friends and colleagues! Now life and death
They are all under my control, if you don’t want to watch them die, then come out!”
Mu Qingcang was hanging in the air, his consciousness radiating around, observing every move around him, his voice was like a bell.
As for Cang Hongshen and others who were sitting in the prison, their expressions changed. They did not expect that Mu Feng actually came at this time.
"Mu Feng?
Why is he here? This is obviously a trap!"
Cang Hong said with deep concern.
"Master Chief Assistant, even if this is Mu Qingcang's trap, with Mu Feng's strength, he is not afraid at all. It will not be difficult to rescue us!"
Qi Yan replied.
"Yes! Mu Feng is very powerful. Even Yang Xingyuan is no longer his opponent, and Mu Qingcang is nothing to be afraid of. Although he also has helpers, he cannot be Mu Feng's opponent!"
The other bachelors also agreed.
"Cang Shoufu, what all the great bachelors said makes sense. I have been looking forward to Mu Feng's arrival for a long time. Although he arrived a little late, he still came. I am very pleased!"
The new king Ying Si looked excited and excited.
The royal family and other officials also showed excitement. They seemed to regard Mu Feng as their savior, feeling that their lives would definitely be safe this time.
Cang Hongshen's face darkened and he said: "Your Majesty! I'm afraid this is not a good thing! Since we have all heard about Mu Feng's various deeds some time ago, haven't we heard about Mu Qingcang?"
Ying Si, the five great bachelors and others were all stunned, while Cang Hongshen continued to speak: "Now, most people on the mainland know that Mu Feng has four assistants who are quasi-demon saints! There are even rumors that there is a
A mysterious ancient strongman is chasing Mu Feng, and that strongman is suspected to be the Holy Lord!"
"Since this is the news that everyone agrees on, Mu Qingcang must also know it, but he still dares to wait and wait for Mu Feng to come, which shows that he has the corresponding confidence! If Mu Feng really shows up, it will be dangerous
I’m afraid it’s Mu Feng!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, including Ying Si, fell silent.
When they first learned about Mu Feng's arrival, they didn't think too much, thinking that they were going to be saved.
Now, after Cang Hongshen analyzed it like this, Ying Si and others woke up from a dream and finally understood.
Mu Qingcang was not a fool. He knew that Mu Feng was not simple, so why did he go to so much trouble to set up a trap to lure Mu Feng into taking the bait?
