The city guard's eyes were like torches as he stared at the cracked ground. With a point of his finger, a ray of light landed on the ground, and a huge hole was torn open, revealing what was below.
It had completely melted and turned into magma, emitting a blazing aura.
The other city guards exclaimed and asked in surprise, "Sir, what's going on?"
The city guard's eyes were deep, and there was a trace of imperceptible fear in his eyes. He pondered for a long time without saying a word.
Only he knew that the imperial family had returned. The rumor was indeed true. The imperial family had really returned.
Only the imperial family could do this. The legendary flame that could burn everything in the world looked like this.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart.
He had never seen the imperial family, but he had heard a lot of rumors about them. The more the government suppressed them, the more there was a market for such rumors. Therefore, as the city guard, he knew more details than others.
He also knew that the current His Majesty did not rightfully possess all that he had today.
He straightened his body, glanced at his subordinates majestically, and ordered, "Pass down my order. Seal off this street and arrest all suspicious people."
He did not need to give a reason at all. As soon as the order was passed down, the street was immediately in chaos, and screams of alarm rose and fell.
Many innocent people were arrested. Fortunately, Tang Zheng and the others left in time. Otherwise, there would definitely be a conflict with them.
The city guard did not even look at those who were arrested. He also knew that the imperial family he was looking for was definitely not among them. He only did this to report to his superiors.
He hurriedly rushed in the direction of Sky City. His mount rampaged, and his rumbling footsteps resounded through the streets. Everywhere he passed, pedestrians avoided him.
After a while, he arrived at a huge building. This building was located directly below Sky City, and the light pillar that connected Sky City to the sky came from here.
This building was heavily guarded, and outsiders could not get close at all.
Not long after, the light pillar's light increased greatly, and many people went straight to Sky City from the light pillar and disappeared from Sky City.
Tang Zheng and the others came not far from this building without anyone noticing and saw this scene from afar.
"Did they go to Sky City from here?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
Flying was forbidden in the Imperial City, unless one was a noble or a member of the Imperial Family. Especially below the Imperial Family, even the nobles were not allowed to fly.
As a result, if the nobles wanted to enter the Sky Castle, they could only rely on this pillar of light.
The light pillar was similar to an elevator in the human world, instantly transporting people to Sky City. It was convenient, fast, and easy to manage.
The mist explained, "Your guess is correct. This is the only way for people other than the royal family to enter Sky City. Random people can't enter Sky City at all. "
Tang Zheng frowned. If they couldn't reach Sky City, wouldn't they have to return empty-handed?
Should I barge in and force my way into Sky City?
In this way, they would be completely exposed. Tang Zheng was not so arrogant as to think that he could dominate the Imperial City with just these few people.
Xiao Bai looked deeply into Tang Zheng's eyes. He understood the worry in his heart and said, "Master, don't worry. I already have a plan."
"A plan?" Tang Zheng looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Bai pointed at his head proudly and said, "The memories I inherited are a precious treasure. Among them is a way to reach Sky City without anyone knowing."
Tang Zheng raised his thick eyebrows, overjoyed. "Is that so?"
Xiao Bai nodded heavily. "Of course." After a pause, he deliberately said mysteriously, "Just follow me."
Tang Zheng knew very well that Xiao Bai was not one to lie. He must be very confident, so he signaled to the other two and followed Xiao Bai's footsteps, bypassing the magnificent building in front of them.
The few of them avoided the crowd, walking more and more remote, to the point that there was a gloomy feeling.
Wild Dog subconsciously tightened his clothes and asked curiously, "Where are we going? Why do I feel so gloomy, like we've come to a cemetery? "
Unknowingly, Xiao Bai's expression had become very serious and dignified. After listening to Wild Dog's words, he solemnly said, "This is the cemetery of the royal family. Don't talk nonsense and tarnish the ancestors of the royal family."
Wild Dog subconsciously withdrew his tongue, looked around, and said bitterly, "I see, I definitely don't mean to disrespect the ancestors of the royal family."
Looking at Xiao Bai's expression, Tang Zheng understood Xiao Bai's mood. This was equivalent to the history of the royal family, the place where many of the royal family members were buried.
As a descendant of the royal family, Xiao Bai's mood was heavy as one could imagine.
The atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Suddenly, Xiao Bai's footsteps stopped, his eyes almost spewing fire, staring angrily in front.
"What's wrong?" Tang Zheng asked, looking forward. His heart suddenly tightened, and he stared in front of him dumbfounded.
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a cold breath.
What did they see?
They saw many broken tombstones lying in the mud, the handwriting on them had long been covered with mud and could not be recognized at all.
This large graveyard was like this, causing people to tremble in fear.
For Xiao Bai, this was the fuse that ignited the anger in his heart. He was so angry that his whole body trembled, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he walked step by step towards the cemetery.
"This … the cemetery has been completely destroyed." Wild Dog was speechless, unable to believe the scene in front of him.
Without a doubt, this must be the many crimes that the traitor had committed.
Not only did he not let the living royal family go, he did not even let the dead royal family go. He actually destroyed the graves of the royal family.
In fact, this was not hard to imagine. In order to consolidate his position, the traitor had to destroy the prestige of the royal family to the greatest extent. Destroying the graves of the royal family was equivalent to destroying the roots of the royal family. This did not require too much effort, and the results were obvious. Naturally, it was his first choice.
Moreover, this could also deter others. Even the royal family's cemetery was not bad, so if others wanted to go against him, they would naturally have to weigh their own strength.
Xiao Bai lifted a tombstone from the mud and gently wiped the mud off it, his hands trembling.
"I will kill the descendants of that traitor and make them pay with blood!" Xiao Bai said through gritted teeth, his hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his hands, but he did not notice.
Tang Zheng held his shoulder and comforted him, "We will definitely take back everything that belongs to the royal family."
Xiao Bai put down the tombstone and strode into the depths of the tombstone. The light around him was getting darker and darker, and several people followed his footsteps.
Xiao Bai stopped, his mouth muttering an obscure and difficult to understand chant. His hands flipped, and one after another, he slapped the void.
Boom!
A door opened with a bang.
"This is the transmission formation to Sky City, the secret passage for our royal family to worship our ancestors. Apart from the royal family, no one else will know. It is absolutely safe."
