After hearing that the letter had been sent, Emperor Zhaoxing was still uneasy and ordered Chen Shuncai: "Tell Sui Zhi to come back immediately and take the True God's outer body outside the city. Don't bother with the affairs of the Blood Sect and the Suppressing Army anymore."
, kill this beast like the prince first."
Chen Shuncai still only said: "I obey the order" and left the dragon chariot immediately.
Emperor Zhaoxing calmed down for a while, walked out of the chariot, returned to the dragon chair, and told Qi Anguo: "The ceremony will begin immediately."
Qi Anguo was stunned: "Your Majesty, the time has not come yet."
Emperor Zhaoxing frowned and looked at Qi Anguo.
Why does this guy talk so much!
Qi Anguo did not dare to say anything anymore, and lowered his head to find the queen. After a while, he returned to the dragon chair; "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for the empress to say the formation..."
"It's done, it's done! How could I wait so leisurely for her to be done? Tell her to start the ceremony immediately!"
Qi Anguo hurriedly went to find the queen again. Along the way, he was murmuring in his heart.
He heard the news from the commander of the imperial army that the prince's troops were approaching the city and the situation was indeed critical.
In this case, it is more serious to stop holding any more rituals and go to the city as soon as possible.
Whether it is war or peace, the emperor has to personally intervene in this matter, so this ceremony is not that important.
But he didn't know the considerations involved.
The ministers who were selected to participate in the ceremony today were extremely dissatisfied with the ancient ceremony.
Being dissatisfied with ancient rituals means being dissatisfied with Emperor Zhaoxing.
Now that the prince has come with troops, if these ministers are not eliminated, they may force Emperor Zhaoxing to abdicate again. Under attack from both inside and outside, Emperor Zhaoxing will no longer have any room for maneuver.
Therefore, Emperor Zhaoxing had to deal with these ministers before dealing with the prince.
Qi Anguo turned back again and said to Emperor Zhaoxing: "Your Majesty, the empress said that it is okay to start the ceremony reluctantly, but..."
Emperor Zhaoxing was too lazy to listen anymore and ordered: "The ceremony begins!"
Qi Anguo hurriedly went to find the chief priest. The chief priest said: "Your Majesty, please pray first."
Emperor Zhaoxing waved his hand and said: "Say any prayers and offer sacrifices directly!"
"This is against the rules..."
"You are too talkative!"
Emperor Zhaoxing scolded him, and the chief priest did not dare to say any more and immediately ordered the sacrifice to be offered.
The Minister of Rites was surprised and said: "This is against the rules of the ceremony."
Yan Anqing sweatdropped: "Masters, wait for my order."
Tong Qingqiu said: "Senior brother, we are coming!"
Han Chen's face was also covered in sweat: "Junior brother, help me!"
The two quietly released the two energies of Yin and Yang, and the first sacrifice was brought to the altar.
More than 300 men were tied up and brought to the altar. The leader was recognized by Yan Anqing.
Tsui Chi!
Third level Gu sect cultivator!
The former leader of Gu Sect!
When Liang Yuming attracted the evil star of Gu Yuan and raised his troops to rebel, Zeng and Zuchi led their troops to Xuandemen.
Afterwards, Liang Yuming escaped and Chu Chi was captured alive. Everyone thought that Chu Chi had been executed by Liang Daguan's family, but no one thought that he was still alive.
The hundreds of people around him were all Gu sect cultivators who participated in it, and they are all still alive.
Zui Chi's cultivation was still there, so he could theoretically break free from the ropes, but all the bones in his body were broken, and all his joints were bound by special instruments made by the ascetic workshop.
According to the plan, Queen Chai Qiuci should first use the Chaos Array to turn more than 300 people into a blood tree.
After the blood trees took shape, more than 10,000 people and a group of courtiers were turned into twenty blood trees.
But Emperor Zhaoxing changed his mind temporarily: "Send both sacrifices together."
The high priest said with sweat on his face; "Your Majesty..."
"Stop talking!"
Emperor Zhaoxing waved his hand, and a row of candles appeared in front of him.
Only half of the candle was lit, and the remaining half was not lit. Time was too short, and Chai Qiuci was not ready.
Emperor Zhaoxing was very irritable. He looked back at Qi Anguo and asked him to urge him immediately.
When Qi Anguo arrived in the back garden, he saw a row of candles placed in front of the queen, and the candles were only half lit.
Queen Chai's face was covered with sweat, she concentrated her energy and lit a candle.
Qi Anguo whispered: "Empress, hurry up, Your Majesty, hurry up!"
"It's so urgent!" The queen was furious, "Why didn't you make a plan beforehand?"
Before he finished speaking, the candle that had just been lit went out.
The queen was shocked, someone interfered with the magic circle!
Among the crowd, Han Chen's face was covered with sweat, and he was holding three silver needles in his hands, constantly looking for flaws in the magic circle.
There is no order at all, how can there be no order at all!
Han Chen relaxed a little, and the extinguished candle lit up again.
Tong Qingqiu stood by and helped Han Chen put out another candle.
The queen secretly worked hard and lit three of them one after another.
Tong Qingqiu's cheeks twitched, the situation was not good.
Han Chen's veins popped out and he used all his energy to fight against the queen.
He used yin and yang magic to break the chaos formation, and suffered a big loss from the Taoist gate. The stalemate lasted for a long time, and the candles were lit faster and faster.
Han Chen vomited blood and was about to run out of energy. The three silver needles in his hand were cut off.
Light three more candles and all the candles will be lit.
When all the candles are lit, it will be too late to leave!
Tong Qingqiu mobilized the few qi machines and shouted with the sound transmission card: "Listen, everyone, this is the chaos magic circle, the emperor is going to turn you into chaos blood trees!"
He shouted twice, picked up Han Chen and ran away.
The people were still stunned, and Yan Anqing shouted: "Go quickly!"
The courtiers took the lead in rushing to the gate of Liangfen Garden. Only then did the common people realize that something serious had happened, and they also rushed to the gate.
Liangfen Garden is very large, and the main garden alone can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
But the gate is not that big, and it is guarded by Sheng En Pavilion.
Upon seeing this, Gongsun Wen quickly blocked the door and used his awe-inspiring righteousness to force back the people who rushed out.
Emperor Zhaoxing was so anxious that he turned back to look for Chen Shuncai. Chen Shuncai was not there, so he went to look for Qi Anguo. Qi Anguo ran over with sweat on his face: "Your Majesty, it's almost done..."
"Go call Gongsun Wen and guard the door. No one can be let out!"
Qi Anguo couldn't even breathe, and he was jostling among the crowd to find Gongsun Wen.
Emperor Zhaoxing was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
This piece of trash is so incompetent!
Where did Chen Shuncai go?
Does it take so long to send a letter to Sui Zhi?
Chen Shuncai was at the gate of Liangfen Garden at this moment: "Mr. Gongsun Ge, please enter the garden immediately to escort him. There is a demon in the garden!"
Gongsun Wendao said: "If I go, I won't be able to keep this gate!"
Chen Shuncai frowned and said, "You don't care what these ordinary people are doing, but consider the safety of the Holy One first!"
Gongsun Wen let out a long sigh, used his awe-inspiring righteousness to open a path among the crowd, and rushed into Liangfen Garden.
Just a moment after rushing in, Gongsun Wen realized that something was wrong.
Since the emperor was in danger, why did Chen Shuncai come out to deliver the message?
Logically speaking, Chen Shuncai should stay by the emperor's side at all times.
When hesitating, Qi Anguo rushed over. Seeing the people rushing out of the gate, Qi Anguo said angrily: "Mr. Gongsun Ge, what are you doing? The Holy Father asked you to guard the gate!"
Gongsun Wen said in astonishment: "But Chen Bingbi asked me to enter the garden to escort him!"
"Chen Shuncai?" Qi Anguo was startled, "Where is that slave? How dare he falsely pass on the imperial edict!"
Gongsun Wen looked back and saw that Chen Shuncai had left Liangfen Garden, but he could still see his back.
Qi Anguo said with a cruel smile: "This slave deserves to die!"
After speaking, Qi Anguo went to chase Chen Shuncai, but Gongsun Wen stood there, at a loss.
He didn't know who to trust.
Chen Shuncai turned into an alley at the intersection. As soon as he took two steps, Qi Anguo chased him from behind.
"Old Chen, where are you going? The Holy Father scolded you a few times before. I know you have a grudge, but I didn't expect you to dare to do something like falsely preaching the imperial edict.
What else do you have to quibble with today? Listen to my advice, go back with me immediately, and confess your sins to the Holy One..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Shuncai suddenly turned around, grabbed Qi Anguo's forehead, and tore off his face.
Qi Anguo, whose cultivation level is at the fourth level, should not be so easy to deal with.
But he didn't expect Chen Shuncai's attack to be so sudden and yet so vicious.
"Slave, slave, you..." Qi Anguo then remembered to fight back. He wanted to stab his heart with his finger, but the blood had blurred his eyes.
Chen Shuncai directly used the third-level skill - Hundred Hands to Facilitate Flowers, and hit Qi Anguo in a dazzling manner with various skills.
Qi Anguo was unable to resist, and was torn to pieces by Chen Shuncai, leaving only a shameless head.
Chen Shuncai held up the head and listened quietly to the noise in Liangfen Garden.
It's messy, it's better to be messy.
The prince was about to enter the city, and there was chaos in the city. This gave Chen Shuncai a chance to escape, a chance to escape completely.
From the time he entered the palace at the age of ten until now, he has never been as comfortable as he is today.
But before leaving the capital, he still had something to do.
He carried Qi Anguo's head back to the palace.
…
In Liangfen Garden, two more candles were lit out of the three remaining candles, and the magic circle was about to take shape.
There were more than 10,000 people in the garden, all of whom seemed to be running for their lives, but amid the crowding and chaos, only a few hundred people actually escaped.
Emperor Zhaoxing kept a close eye on a group of ministers. When they entered the garden, they were at the front. When they left the garden, they were at the back of the queue and could not squeeze out at all.
It doesn't matter if you let a few of them escape. Just kill these sycophants. Don't let them escape.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a loud noise in the east garden, and a cloud of smoke covered the sky and blocked the sun.
Emperor Zhaoxing was shocked. He didn't know what was going on. When he looked back, he found that Chen Shuncai was not there, Qi Anguo was not there, and there were only a few fourth-rank chamberlains behind him.
"Protect, protect!" Emperor Zhaoxing called several times, and several servants hurriedly stood in front of him.
Gongsun Wen also rushed over: "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic, the humble minister is here!"
Seeing Gongsun Wen, Emperor Zhaoxing felt more at ease: "Ai Qing, what happened..."
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the Taibu flew out from the smoke. Emperor Zhaoxing exclaimed: "This traitor is here to assassinate!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Shen flew out with Liang Xianchun in his arms.
"Commander Zhong, come and escort him quickly, hurry up..." Emperor Zhaoxing was stunned, why is Liang Xianchun here?
boom!
Another loud noise!
A huge object broke through the courtyard wall and entered the main garden.
This is... the Taotie body?
Taotie's body was covered with worms, and under the torment of the poison, his figure had also shrunk. Compared with before, he only had less than 20% left. Emperor Zhaoxing almost didn't recognize him.
Even so, this huge monster still frightened the people in the garden. Yan Anqing shouted loudly: "Evil beast, colleagues, leave quickly!"
Can you walk out just by saying "go quickly"?
In Liangfen Garden, people are stacked up against each other, and they are almost squished into pieces.
Another candle was lit in front of the emperor, and now only one candle was left unlit.
Zhong Shen shouted: "Damn it, why are you back in the capital? Taibu, what kind of magic circle is Sui Zhi using?"
Taibu shook his head and said: "Don't say more, save the people first!"
Zhong Shen stretched out his right hand, grabbed it out of thin air, grabbed a sledgehammer, flew to the side of the courtyard wall, and smashed the wall with two hammers.
The people rushed out like a tide. The weak Taotie opened his mouth and sucked several officials into his stomach. He stuck out his tongue and rolled it up, just in time to wrap up the official minister.
The Minister of Civil Affairs shouted miserably: "Comrade, save me!"
Who can save him? In the blink of an eye, he has entered the belly of Taotie's outer body.
Taibu hurriedly operated the magic circle and summoned the twin stars of life and death. Gongsun Wen rushed towards Taibu with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Taibuteng did not take action to fight him. Gongsun Wen saw that he was approaching, but was blocked by a scroll.
Li Shabai walked out of the scroll and used a piece of ink to disperse Gongsun Wen's energy.
Gongsun Wen was startled and took two steps back. Li Shabai sprinkled a piece of cinnabar, forcing Gongsun Wen to continue to retreat.
In front of the emperor, the last candle is about to be lit.
Li Shabai stretched out his right hand and grabbed another scroll from the air.
Zhong Shen was stunned, how could this action be so similar to the third-grade Mohist skill of picking up objects at will?
Li Shabai unfolded the scroll, and a beautiful woman walked out of the scroll with a row of candles in front of her.
Taibu was surprised, that woman was He Fang!
Why is she here?
The last candle in front of the emperor was lit, and the chaos circle seemed to take shape.
Taibu was shocked. Once the magic circle was formed, except for Taotie Waishen and the emperor, almost everyone present would turn into blood trees, and even a few third-level people might not be able to escape.
But the magic circle did not take shape. He Fang took the lead and blew out the three candles in front of him. The three candles in front of the emperor also went out.
In the back garden, the queen vomited out a mouthful of blood, covered her chest, and murmured: "We have the same path!"
