To the east of Shang Jing City was the vast sea. On the vast sea, more than 800 kilometers away from Shang Jing City was the Demon Gate on the sea.
To be precise, the Demon Gate was not a gate, but an entrance to the Void Mystic Realm.
From afar, the Demon Gate in the sky looked like a rotating colorful vortex. It was a huge gate with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers. It was like the eye of a storm, and colorful brilliance constantly bloomed from the vortex. It was exceptionally beautiful.
Behind the Demon Gate was another world.
The rising sun was like a huge fireball rising above the sea, dyeing the eastern seawater red, as if there was a fire burning under the sea. The seawater and the rotating Demon Gate in the sky complemented each other. On this vast and boundless sea, with the rise and fall of the tide, the colors of the water and the sky complemented each other and merged into one. It could be said to be magnificent.
If not for the demonic creatures that constantly emerged from the Demon Gate, the scene in front of them would be like a dream.
Amidst the rotating light of the Demon Gate, some black spots could be seen flying down from the Demon Gate from time to time.
Then, the roar of cannons could be heard on the surface of the sea. In the sky, the flashes of Summoners flying in the sky could also be seen …
The smoke of gunpowder and the light of spells coexisted here.
The fleet on the sea was like a steel beast guarding the sea near the Demon Gate. In the sky, Summoners who had the ability to fly in the sky were like hunters hunting.
Below the Demon Gate was a chain of islands. On the islands of various sizes, there were strongholds of various sizes. This was the battlefield of the Shang Dynasty's fleet, Summoners, and bounty hunters.
The monsters in the Void Mystic Realm that fell from the Demon Gate were the targets of their battle and hunting.
Those monsters had Realm Pearls on them, and some of the items on them were expensive medicinal herbs. There were many gains from such battles, and they might even be able to make a fortune. Of course, there were also dangers.
Some powerful Summoners of the Four-Sun Realm and above even formed teams and took the initiative to enter the world behind the Demon Gate to hunt.
The Flaming Bird and the Six-Legged Giant Lizard were the most numerous monsters that came out of the Ocean Demon Gate.
For the Shang Dynasty's fleet and the summoners stationed at the Demon Gate on the sea, these two monsters were actually not difficult to deal with, especially the six-legged lizard. This kind of monster was born on land. Once it entered the sea, its strength would be greatly restricted. It would not be as free as it was on land. The flame bird was most afraid of water. To avoid the flame bird's attack, it would be fine as long as it dived into the sea.
At this moment, on the highest point of the God of War Fortress on the largest island below the Demon Gate, King Jing stood alone on the highest tower of the fortress. King Jing, Beitang Wangshan, had his hands clasped behind his back as he watched the magnificent sunrise and the radiance of the rotating Demon Gate. He was in a daze. His gaze seemed to be filled with reluctance, regret, and reluctance. There was also anger and burning ambition in it …
Even the most outstanding court painter would not be able to completely portray the complex emotions in King Jing's eyes at this moment.
"I really … can't accept this. I actually lost in such a baffling way …" King Jing exhaled and gently moved his neck. Then, he reached out and tore off the necklace around his neck. He held the necklace and the pendant on the necklace in his hand. He looked at it and shook his head. With a flick of his hand, he threw the pendant down from the highest building and into the sea below.
If a Summoner of the Judgement Army was here, he would definitely be able to tell that the pendant in King Jing's hand looked like a piece of golden amber. There was a small human figure sealed in the amber, and it looked abnormally eerie and cold. When King Jing threw it out, the small human figure sealed in the amber had already turned into a skinny skeleton.
This was a Human Talisman, the Blood Demon Church's most terrifying sacrificial Summoner method. They would turn the Summoner into a Human Talisman and wear it on their body to absorb the Qi, blood, essence, and divine power of the Human Talisman.
The Human Talisman thrown out by King Jing had been completely sucked dry and had lost its value.
A cloud of black smoke silently appeared beside King Jing. In the black smoke, a beautiful and coquettish hand stretched out. In the hand was a brand-new Human Talisman that had been refined. She handed it to King Jing. A sexy and coquettish female voice came out of the smoke. "Your Highness, this is the last one. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for us to meet again in the future …"
King Jing took the Human Talisman and put it around his neck again. Then, he narrowed his eyes and asked with a murderous look, "Is there a problem with the Golden Moon Palace? How did the Nightmare Demon know about my relationship with the Blood Demon Church and used such a method to expose it?"
"The Golden Moon Palace does not know about our actions. It's also a secret among us. Only the Lord and I know about it. According to the internal rules of the Blood Demon Church, the Goldmoon Continent is the territory of the Golden Moon Palace. Other Devil Halls are not allowed to set foot in it …" The voice in the smoke hesitated for a moment. "It's possible that the Golden Moon Palace discovered something and used this method to warn us and ruin our plan!"
"Warn?" King Jing suddenly became angry and roared directly, "Then tell me, what should I do now? All of a sudden, I've lost everything. Let me give my head to them … "
"Your Highness should have known the risks and consequences when you first cooperated with us. This accident has nothing to do with us. It's an internal problem in the Shang Kingdom. It's possible that the problem with Your Highness' Red Leaves Villa was discovered by others, which led to the current situation. It has nothing to do with us at all …" The voice in the smoke gradually became softer and softer. The smoke also became thinner and thinner as it slowly retreated. "It's impossible now. Those people are coming. Your Highness should plan early. As long as you're alive, everything is possible …"
A gust of sea breeze blew and the smoke disappeared as if it had never appeared.
King Jing stood there blankly for a while. Finally, he sighed deeply and turned to look in the direction of Shangjing City. He stomped his feet hard and suddenly soared into the sky. His body was like lightning, flying directly toward the Dark Gate. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the vortex of the Dark Gate.
Just a few minutes after King Jing left, two powerful auras flew from Shangjing City to the War God Castle as fast as lightning. They were two consecrators of the royal family of the Great Shang Kingdom, summoners of the Eight Suns Realm. They brought the imperial edict to arrest King Jing.
King Jing had already escaped, so the two consecrators missed their target.
From King Jing of the Great Shang Kingdom to a fugitive wanted by the Great Shang Kingdom, this change of identity happened in the blink of an eye.
…
At the same time in Shangjing City, Xia Pingan sat in a carriage and got off at the entrance of the Donggang Supervision Office.
At the corner of the street diagonally opposite the entrance of the Donggang Supervision Office, there was originally a newsstand. At this moment, the 'Shang Jing Daily' in the newsstand had already been sold out. However, there were still people surrounding the newsstand and asking about it.
Today's' Shang Jing Daily 'had set the record for the fastest sell-out in history. From the moment the newspaper appeared on the market, it had already been snatched up by the citizens of Shangjing City within a few hours. Now, it couldn't even be bought at a higher price. In the past, the 'Shang Jing Daily' was sold from dawn to dusk, and it might not be completely sold out.
Xia Pingan was holding a copy in his hand.
Everything was as Xia Pingan expected. Perfect!
However, he had to leave too!
"My lord, good morning …" Luo Laoji saw Xia Pingan walk through the entrance of the Supervision Office and hurriedly came out with his dog. He gave Xia Pingan a question mark.
"Good morning, thank you for your hard work!" Xia Pingan smiled and greeted Luo Laoji. Luo Laoji was overwhelmed by the favor.
"Strange, why didn't the little black pig and the iron-masked man come with my lord today?"
Luo Laoji muttered in his heart. When he saw Xia Pingan walking towards the building of the Supervision Office, he also returned to his own gatehouse.
There was a large open space between the entrance of the Supervision Office and the building of the Supervision Office. This open space had a lawn, some ornamental trees, and a fountain. Every time Xia Pingan came to the Supervision Office, he had to pass through the lawn and the fountain before he could set foot on the stairs to the building of the Supervision Office.
Just when Xia Pingan walked to the middle of the lawn and was close to the fountain, a black shadow suddenly appeared.
A black shadow suddenly drilled out from the ground and pounced towards Xia Pingan. That black shadow even shouted loudly, his voice shaking all directions, "Xia Pingan, die for me … …"
Xia Pingan was shocked. He immediately took out the Scepter of Judgement, but his reaction seemed to be slow for a moment. The black shadow had already rushed to his side.
In the next second, four violent, high-temperature fire snakes were released from the black shadow and shrouded the entire garden. Then, a huge cloud of black gas covered Xia Pingan. Two of Xia Pingan's best Storm Cavalry were summoned. Half of their figures were revealed from the black gas, but they were immediately swallowed by the black gas …
The sound of summoners fighting, Xia Pingan's angry roar, and a trace of the Sky-burning Vermilion Bird's shadow could be heard from the black gas.
Then, an earth-shattering explosion rang out in the garden ….
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The windows of Luo Laoji's gatehouse, the windows on the nearby streets, all the windows of the Supervision Office building, and some of the buildings close to the garden were all affected by the flames and shock wave of the explosion. They were all shattered at once, and flames soared into the sky.
The entire neighborhood and the Supervision Office were alarmed.
By the time Long Chao and the rest rushed out of the Inspection Department, Xia Pingan was nowhere to be seen. There was only a huge hole in the garden that was melted by the terrifying heat, the burnt lawn and trees, and the fountain that was completely shattered without a drop of water …
Around the huge hole, there was a damaged Scepter of Judgement. Around the Scepter of Judgement, there were some scattered black gravel, which was suspected to be the remains of a person who had been poisoned by the Black Demon Poison …
"Sir …" Hua Ziqin rushed to the front of the damaged Scepter of Judgement. She picked it up and burst into tears at once.
Long Chao's eyes were red as he roared and rushed out of the Supervision Office.
The entire Supervision Office of East Harbor was in chaos. Even Wei Meiyu ran out of the Supervision Office. Looking at the huge hole and the Scepter of Judgement, she burst into tears …
Not long after, the news that the East Harbor Supervision Office's Inspector Xia Pingan was assassinated in the Supervision Office spread throughout Shangjing City.
