Ji Tianxing left the palace, but did not leave the imperial city.
He used some tricks to disguise himself and hid in a hidden house.
More than twenty strong men sent by the Holy Master searched for his traces everywhere in the city, but found nothing.
That night, it was Yin Shi in the early morning.
It is the darkest hour before dawn and the quietest time of the day.
But for some reason, the brightly lit palace suddenly lit up with a brilliance that reached into the sky, and a deafening loud noise erupted.
The muffled sound of "rumbling" was like muffled thunder echoing in the night sky, spreading throughout the entire imperial city.
Various colorful magic brilliance continued to emerge in the palace, lighting up the night sky like fireworks.
Waves of violent shock waves spread like ripples, impacting the palaces and high walls of the palace.
Occasionally, there would be a dull loud noise, exploding deep underground, shaking half of the city, as if there was an earthquake.
There is no doubt that there are strong men fighting and fighting fiercely in the palace.
In just one hundred breaths of time, thrilling battles broke out in seven or eight places.
The dazzling light and shadow of magic, and the divine image that penetrated the sky and the earth, enveloped the entire palace and could be clearly seen hundreds of miles away.
Not long after, the dozen or so defensive formations surrounding the palace were all activated.
Tens of thousands of Imperial Guards shouted loudly and supported the defensive formation with all their strength.
Suddenly, the entire palace was in chaos.
The people around the palace were also awakened by the huge noise of fighting.
Countless people opened their doors and windows and looked up in the direction of the palace, showing expressions of surprise and horror.
Many people didn't know what happened, and were shouting anxiously and discussing the matter with each other.
In the center of the city, in a hidden and old house.
There is a twenty-foot-tall pagoda in the courtyard. It has not been cleaned or repaired for many years, and it is already covered with dust and somewhat dilapidated.
At this time, Ji Tianxing was standing on the top of the tower, looking expressionlessly in the direction of the palace.
He stood quietly, his body upright, and his figure seemed to blend into the night.
The night wind blew, fluttering his long hair, and there was a faint sneer in his deep eyes.
Two quarters of an hour later, the fighting in the palace stopped.
The magic brilliance that illuminated the night sky dissipated, and the dull loud noise also disappeared.
When dawn came and a touch of fish belly white appeared on the sky, calm returned to the palace and the defensive array was temporarily closed.
Ji Tianxing left the top of the tower and returned to the ancient mansion.
He sat in the study and waited quietly for half a quarter of an hour.
Zhibai, wearing a black robe, appeared in the study like a phantom, saluting him respectfully and reporting the news.
"Master, my subordinates have already found out the information."
"Say." Ji Tianxing nodded.
Zhibai Gongshouhui reported: "Just last night, the news that you gave the Sky Burial Sword to Emperor Izumo has spread in the city.
There are many forces lurking in the city, and they use various means to spread the news.
In the early morning, more than a dozen groups of strong men broke into the palace, seeking information and trying to snatch the Heavenly Burial Sword.
But those strong men were discovered by the palace guards, and a fighting broke out."
Ji Tianxing had expected this result and was not surprised at all. He asked: "Have you found out the identity information of those dozen groups of people? What is the situation in the palace?"
Zhibai reported with an expressionless face: "Some of those dozen groups of strong men followed us to Tianyun City and belonged to various major empires.
There are also several groups of powerful people who seem to be the top forces in the Izumo Empire, but they all hide their identities.
Although the dozen or so groups of people were killed or repelled, the palace suffered heavy losses, and the number of casualties among the imperial guards exceeded 5,000..."
The news reported by Zhibai is relatively concise, but it is all essential and focused.
In just a few words, Ji Tianxing understood the situation in the palace.
After listening, he nodded slightly and said: "This is just the beginning, the fun is yet to come.
Zhibai, continue to keep an eye on the palace's movements and secretly inquire for information."
"I obey!" Zhibai cupped his fists and saluted, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Master, I have a question, should I ask it?"
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Go ahead."
Zhibai used sound transmission and asked in a cautious tone: "Master, the Sky Burial Sword you gave to Emperor Izumo must be a fake, right?"
This question hid in his mind all night.
He still couldn't believe that the master would give away the real Sky Burial Sword.
A smile appeared on Ji Tianxing's lips, and he said in a playful tone: "You are not too stupid, you can barely follow me as a follower."
Such a reluctant compliment made Zhibai's eyes sparkle with pride and excitement.
"Master, thank you very much."
"Go." Ji Tianxing said no more and waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Zhibai hurriedly bowed and resigned, continuing to inquire about information in the imperial city and secretly monitoring the movements of the palace.
…
In the next few days, Tianyun City has been in hustle and bustle.
There are many gossips circulating in the city, making the people panic.
It is said that someone saw Ji Tianxing coming back with his own eyes.
Moreover, he presented a black sword to Emperor Izumo outside the palace gate.
That night, a large number of unknown mysterious powerful men secretly sneaked into the palace and fought fiercely with the palace guards.
Early the next morning, the entire imperial city entered a state of martial law.
One hundred thousand imperial palace guards and hundreds of thousands of city guards were all fully armed to guard the imperial city and palace.
Even the streets and alleys of the imperial city were patrolled by teams of guards, looking for suspicious people everywhere.
Every night, there would be fighting inside and outside the palace.
The earth-shaking loud noise and the dazzling magic brilliance can always wake up the warriors and people in the whole city.
The imperial city was filled with an atmosphere of chilling and depression, and a layer of gloom hung over everyone's hearts.
The gates of the imperial city were closed, and people were prohibited from entering or exiting.
Everyone can only stay at home and dare not go out and walk around at will even during the day.
No one knows why the most prosperous imperial city became like this.
No one knows how long such a dangerous situation will last before it ends.
In the past few days, Ji Tianxing has been hiding in the old house and has never gone out.
He has been secretly paying attention to the movements in the palace and listening to the news reported by Zhibai every day.
As time went by, the situation in the palace became worse and worse day by day.
Hundreds of fighting battles took place in the city every day, and at least thousands of city guards and imperial guards were killed.
More and more mysterious powerful men are sneaking into the imperial city secretly, waiting for opportunities.
Among those mysterious and powerful people, there are not only people from the royal families of various countries, but also powerful people from the top forces in various countries.
Even the top forces of the Izumo Empire sent a large number of strong men to sneak into the imperial city quietly.
Tianyun City becomes more chaotic and dangerous.
The continuous fighting wars left the palace in pieces, with large areas of ruins and ruins appearing.
