Fire City, Imperial Palace, Vermilion Bird Terrace.
The Vermilion Bird Terrace was more than a thousand feet tall and dozens of feet wide. It was built from fire spirit stones condensed from underground lava. It was red like jade, and all kinds of fire-type spirit beasts were carved on the walls.
The Vermilion Bird Terrace was not only the tallest building in the imperial palace, but also the largest building. The Vermilion Bird Terrace was hidden underground for thousands of feet and was divided into seven levels.
The first level was the largest, with hundreds of rooms. Three hundred sorcerers were stationed there to guard the Vermilion Bird Terrace day and night. It was not only the core of the imperial palace's array, but also the entire Fire City's array.
Through the Vermilion Bird Terrace, one could adjust the large and complicated array and control the changes of vital energy within thousands of miles.
The true core of the Vermilion Bird Terrace was the nation's divine artifact, the Vermilion Bird Blade.
Through the Vermilion Bird Blade, the Fire Nation's emperors could firmly control everything in Fire City. However, this supreme authority was broken by Gao Zhengyang.
After Huo Tianlie was killed, the Vermilion Bird Blade lost its master. It was temporarily controlled by a group of Fire Nation royalty, but they were completely defeated by Gao Zhengyang.
The nation's divine artifact, the Vermilion Bird Blade, was forcibly taken by Gao Zhengyang. Gao Zhengyang passed the Vermilion Bird Blade to Zhu Jinghong, supported a new emperor, and established the Ming Nation.
The Fire Nation royalty felt that Gao Zhengyang was taking advantage of the situation. If it wasn't for the fact that the Vermilion Bird Blade had no master, he wouldn't be a match for it.
However, no matter how unwilling the Fire Nation royalty were, the Vermilion Bird Blade had already changed owners. The Fire Nation, which had existed for tens of thousands of years, was also destroyed.
The direct descendants of the Fire Nation were also slaughtered by Zhu Jinghong. Although there were many branches of the Fire Nation royalty, they didn't have many experts. After being intimidated by Zhu Jinghong's forceful methods, no one dared to stand out and say that they wanted to restore the Fire Nation.
However, in private, many royalty had been secretly planning to overthrow Zhu Jinghong and rebuild the Fire Nation. Of course, these royalty were all doing this for their own selfish reasons. Restoring the Fire Nation was just an excuse for them to seize power.
The Fire Nation royalty had controlled the Fire Nation royalty for tens of thousands of years. The Fire Nation royalty was everywhere inside and outside the palace.
Huo Wuwei, who was hiding in the South Sea as the son-in-law of the Drought Turtle Clan, was found by Zi Luo and brought back to Flame City. He was the illegitimate son of the former Imperial Tutor, Huo Tianfa. Although their status wasn't high, they were the purest royal family.
With Zi Luo's secret support, Huo Wuwei became the leader of the Imperial Family the moment he returned to Flame City. The originally loose Restoration Alliance also became a tight organization under Huo Wuwei's leadership.
The internal and external coordination allowed Huo Wuwei and the others to control a portion of the Vermilion Bird Arena.
At this moment, Huo Wuwei, Zi Luo, Hui Shuangren, and the other Demon Race Saints were waiting in the northwest secret room on the first floor of the Vermillion Bird Arena.
The main formation of this secret room C3 was used to adjust the Gui Water True Essence and was responsible for adjusting the power of the Light Demon Punishing Formation. This was to prevent the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire from becoming too powerful and damaging the array.
The Vermillion Bird Tomb's Light Demon Punishing Formation only needed the Gui Water True Essence to control it when its power was at its peak. Therefore, no one would usually come to check the secret chamber here. It was extremely safe.
Moreover, the outer perimeter was controlled by the Huo Imperial Clan. It could be said that there was absolutely no room for error.
The secret chamber was quite spacious. The six Dark Dragon Guards were all there. Because of the special environment, even the hot-tempered Niu Kuang sat there obediently with his eyes closed. He didn't make a sound, like an ugly monster statue.
Huo Wuwei, Gui Xuanling, and Turtle Xuanzhai sat on the other side. This time, the Drought Turtle Race had put in a lot of effort to support Huo Wuwei. Even Turtle Xuanzhai personally came to support Huo Wuwei.
The Drought Turtle Race only left Gui Xuanzhai to guard the door. Of course, it was also because Gui Xuanzhai worshipped Gao Zhengyang. His arrival might ruin the entire plan.
As long as they succeeded this time, Huo Wuwei would definitely become the Fire Nation's Emperor.
At that time, the Drought Turtle Tribe would definitely rise along with the tide. Although Turtle Xuanzhai was afraid of Gao Zhengyang, the benefits were too great. He had to try whoever stood in front of him.
However, when Turtle Xuanzhai arrived at Flame City, he discovered that there were seven powerful Demon Race Sages present. Although he had become a Sage, he wasn't worth mentioning in front of the powerful Demon Race.
During this period of time, Turtle Xuanzhai also became more well-behaved. He stayed by Huo Wuwei's side and didn't say a word.
In the secret room, the two sides were facing each other. The atmosphere wasn't friendly, and it was very oppressive.
Although Huo Wuwei had been forcefully pushed to the Ninth Stage by Zi Luo's secret technique, he still couldn't bear the powerful aura of the six powerful Demon Race Sages. He was sweating profusely and looked rather pathetic.
Gui Xuanling, on the other hand, was only at the Eighth Stage, but her foundation was very solid. She was much more relaxed than Huo Wuwei.
Huo Wuwei really couldn't bear it anymore. Just as he was about to get up and get some fresh air, Zi Luo pushed the door open and came in.
The moment Zi Luo arrived, the omnipresent pressure immediately disappeared. Huo Wuwei heaved a long sigh of relief. He hurriedly went up and bowed to Zi Luo.
Turtle Xuanzhai also stood up and bowed respectfully. Although he was a Sage, he liked to bow deeply to Zi Luo according to the Drought Turtle Race's custom.
His sincere and serious attitude made Zi Luo feel a little uncomfortable. No matter what, he was still a Sage Level Expert. At this level, he had surpassed the limits of his race and reached a certain extreme.
Such a respectful bow was a disgrace to a Sage Level Expert.
Zi Luo said calmly, "You don't have to be so courteous, Mr. Turtle."
He walked to the chair in the middle and sat down. He said, "I've seen Yang Qianping today. Unfortunately, he's as timid as a mouse and doesn't dare to cooperate. But I think he won't dare to betray us. We're not afraid of him betraying us either! "
Huo Wuwei couldn't help but ask, "I heard that Gao Zhengyang is injured. Is that true?"
"Everyone who saw him said so. It should be true."
Zi Luo said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if Gao Zhengyang is injured or not."
This time, their plan was meticulous. No matter what Gao Zhengyang wanted to do, as long as he was in the Temple of Great Light, he would definitely die.
If she wanted to, Zi Luo could even activate the formation and kill Gao Zhengyang right now. But to achieve the best result, they had to kill Gao Zhengyang in front of all the powerhouses in the world during the ceremony on the third of March!
After two years of meticulous preparation, Zi Luo had already come up with a contingency plan. No matter what Gao Zhengyang did, he would definitely die this time.
This battle would definitely intimidate all the powerhouses and establish the invincible might of the Sacred Clan.
This battle would also change the course of the Sacred Clan's conquest of the human world. Zi Luo's name would also go down in history and shine for thousands of years.
However, Huo Wuwei wasn't so confident. The battle at the Southern Sea Dragon Palace had left a huge shadow in his heart by Gao Zhengyang.
He said worriedly, "Gao Zhengyang purposely spread the news that he was injured. Is there some kind of conspiracy?"
Zi Luo was very disdainful of Huo Wuwei's cowardice. He glanced sideways at Huo Wuwei and said, "What conspiracy could there be?"
Although Huo Wuwei feared Zi Luo, he still plucked up his courage and said, "I have some understanding of Gao Zhengyang. This person looks fierce and fierce, but he's extremely sinister in his bones. Your Highness, please don't be careless. "
Turtle Mystery House also said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Gao Zhengyang is extremely cunning. You have to be more careful."
Zi Luo didn't want to be too rude to Turtle Mystery House, so he reluctantly nodded. He stretched out his hand and a huge water mirror appeared in the air.
On the water mirror was a huge map of Flame City. On this map, there were dozens of strange red dots. One of the biggest red dots was shining brightly and was so red that it was glaring.
"This is Gao Zhengyang …"
Zi Luo pointed at the biggest and strongest red dot and said, "He has always been in the Great Light Temple and hasn't taken a step out of the temple."
Then he pointed at another red dot and said, "This is Red Sun. Her Sage level aura is long and deep, and her cultivation is pure."
Zi Luo said to Niu Kuang and the other Dark Dragon Guards, "The day after tomorrow is the third of March. I will explain our plan in detail to everyone."
Niu Kuang, who had his eyes closed, also opened his eyes. The other Sages also nodded to signal that they were listening.
Zi Luo pointed at the map on the water mirror and said, "The people marked on this map are all Gao Zhengyang's accomplices or potential accomplices. This is Yue Qingxue. Her cultivation is only at rank nine, but she has a rank ten sword spirit to protect her. She is also the Nation Guardian Sword Master, so she can be considered a top-notch Sage level. "
He paused and pointed at the other marks and introduced, "This is Princess Yuqing and Shi Potian. They should have joined Gao Zhengyang's camp. This is Formless. Lu Jiuyuan is on his way. If Xiong Ba was included, they had a total of six Martial Saints. As for the other rank nine experts, such as Yan Shisan, although they are not important, we can't underestimate them … "
Zi Luo introduced Gao Zhengyang's forces and concluded, "Although Gao Zhengyang is overbearing, he has also roped in a group of people. We can't underestimate them. However, we have the Blood Sacrifice Formation. When the time comes, these people will be blocked outside. "
The Dark Dragon Guards all knew about this plan. Zi Luo mainly said it for Turtle Mystery House and Huo Wuwei. He was not afraid that the two would leak the secret. At this time, it was too late for them to betray him even if they wanted to.
Under the watch of six Sages, they would be crushed to death if they made any strange moves.
Zi Luo pointed at a mark in the center of the imperial city and said, "Our first target is actually Zhu Jinghong. Recently, he had two unfamiliar guards by his side. Maybe they are experts that Gao Zhengyang found. But it doesn't matter. We have already prepared for this! "
