After withdrawing from Zhou State, the group of people, including First Elder, fell for Yun Sheng's "besieged" tactic and rushed back to Grand Emperor City anxiously.
After discussing for a while, First Elder made the decision to launch a surprise attack on Grand Emperor City overnight to regain control of Grand Emperor City.
Because he was worried that the people in Grand Emperor City would discover their tracks, First Elder did not even dare to use illumination magic. Everyone could only follow the night sky, pass through the magic restriction outside Grand Emperor City, and head straight to Grand Emperor City.
But as soon as they entered the magic restriction area, First Elder felt that something was wrong.
These restrictions could not be more familiar to the people in Grand Emperor City. Normally, they could pass through even with their eyes closed.
They carefully bypassed the restriction and prepared to sneak into Grand Emperor City under the night sky.
But today, as soon as they entered the magic restriction.
A gust of cold magic wind blew past.
Under their feet, countless earth spikes pierced out of the hard soil with "bang bang bang" sounds.
The experts in Grand Emperor City were not on guard and injured several people in succession before they broke through the first restriction.
But just as they passed through the encirclement of the earth spikes, a fire wall suddenly ignited in front of them.
Walls of fire began to burn fiercely.
For a moment, the surroundings turned into a sea of fire, trapping First Elder and the others in the sea of fire.
That sea of fire was like oil being poured on it, burning people and devouring beasts on sight. It was even more ferocious than the earth spikes earlier.
After losing dozens of people, First Elder finally rushed out with great difficulty and cursed in his heart.
Damn it, how many magic arrays did the Yuan Family and that Prince Regent of Zhou State set up around this restriction?
Finally, they rushed to the edge of the magic restriction. First Elder and the others heaved a sigh of relief with great difficulty.
There was some sound in the sky, as if there were countless mosquitoes buzzing.
Looking up, everyone was immediately shocked by the scene before them.
In the sky, there was a large number of Night Charms that looked like humans and also like magical beasts.
Every Night Charm had green skin, and they were either holding bows and arrows in their hands or holding tridents. They were fiercely screaming at First Elder and the others in ridicule.
Under the cover of the night, only the green eyes of the Night Charms that were like fireflies could be seen.
There were so many of them that they were like moths.
Among Chi Mei's group, there was a slender, dark-skinned elf named Chi Mei. She stared at everyone arrogantly and shouted, "Attack!"
In an instant, the ground was covered with thorns, and in the sky, the evil spirits launched a fierce attack.
"Break out of the encirclement! Break through this magical restriction!" The First Elder was also enraged. Despite the chaos, his mind was still relatively clear.
These evil spirits before them were only numerous in number. In terms of strength, these powerhouses of Grand Emperor City were far above them.
The Great Elder recognized the situation clearly. He found a gap in the barrier and quickly broke out, leading a group of elites in the city to form a force. Like a spear, they tore apart the encirclement of Demon Queen Night.
The strength of this group of experts from Grand Emperor City was ultimately a notch higher than the others. But even so, after charging out of the restriction, the number of people had already been reduced sharply by half.
The First Elder knew in his heart that his actions had definitely alarmed the people in the Grand Emperor City. However, since things had already developed to this point, there was no way out for them.
Several hundred Grand Emperor City powerhouses hurried to Grand Emperor City in dire straits.
At this moment, the eastern horizon was already a sea of white.
The night attack had already failed before it even began.
On top of the city gate, Yuan Wuqu and Yuan Bupo led the Yuan Family in a condescending manner, facing the First Elder and the others.
"Yuan Wuqu, you took advantage of the City Lord's absence to offend your superiors. Do you know your crime?! Why haven't you opened the city gate and surrendered! "The First Elder saw the Yuan Family father and son and was furious.
The Yuan Family father and son had an indifferent expression. Yuan Wuqu took a step forward. "First Elder, my Yuan Family branch has been loyal to Grand Emperor City for many years. This time, we rebelled and seized the city because the City Lord and the various elders disobeyed the ancestral teachings. First Elder! Let me ask you, what is the ancestral teachings of Grand Emperor City? "
Yuan Wuqu glared angrily.
The First Elder's old face reddened from the question.
Grand Emperor City was an otherworldly city. Back then, when the first City Lord and his wife established the city, they had already set down the ancestral teachings.
First, the lineage of Grand Emperor City had taken the responsibility of guarding Grand Emperor's tomb for generations. If the Boundless Continent was in danger, they could open the tomb and join hands with the various factions of the continent to protect the Boundless Continent.
Second, their descendants could not be greedy and use the Di Hong Song to conquer the world.
Generations of Grand Emperor City's City Lords had all followed these two ancient teachings. Only Xuan Sitian was unwilling to guard Grand Emperor City and stay in a corner of the city.
He enticed the elders to establish the Blood Hand Tycoon, then funded the Later Qin rebellion. This time, he even directly participated in the Zhou State's rebellion.
The First Elder and the others already knew. It was only because they were greedy and afraid of Xuan Sitian's strength that they kept helping him.
"First Elder, what's wrong? You can't say anything right? It's already clear who the traitor of Grand Emperor City is. The City Lord has disobeyed the ancestral teachings and is punished the same as the citizens. According to the laws of Grand Emperor City, the City Lord should be removed! "Yuan Bupo mocked.
"Remove the City Lord!"
"Remove the City Lord!"
On the city wall, many citizens of Grand Emperor City shouted loudly.
Waves of voices came one after another. Xuan Meimei and Madam Qing, who were escorted up the city wall by Yuan Bupo and the others, were pale.
"Nonsense! What crime did father commit? You narrow-minded people who only know how to guard the Emperor's Tomb are the ones who deserve to die the most. Father, come out and kill these evil people. "Xuan Meimei had lost her husband and was imprisoned these days. Her mind was on the verge of collapse.
The Yuan Family father and son looked at the crowd again and realized that Grand Emperor City Lord Xuan Sitian was not in the crowd.
Where did Xuan Sitian go?
Yuan Bupo looked behind him again and realized that Yun Sheng was also gone.
In the pitch-black City Lord's residence in Grand Emperor City.
A ghostly figure crossed the city wall.
"Yuan Family father and son, Regent Of Great Zhou, feel free to be proud. Once I find the White Tiger Emperor Jade, I'll take care of your family." Xuan Sitian sneered.
Xuan Sitian was a cunning old fox. After he failed in Zhou State, he rushed back to Grand Emperor City day and night.
He was worried that if he left the White Tiger Emperor Jade in the city, something would happen during the chaos.
So, he secretly followed behind the Great Elder's group and sneaked into the City Lord's residence when they were ambushed by the Magic Restriction and confronted the Yuan Family father and son.
Before the City Lord's wife died, she only told Xuan Sitian about the secret passage in her room.
There was a special restriction set on the secret passage. If an outsider tried to force his way in, he would definitely destroy the passage.
Only the City Lord's wife knew a special method that could undo the restriction on the secret passage.
Xuan Sitian smoothly entered the room and moved the wardrobe aside.
He checked carefully and found that the Magic Restriction behind the wardrobe had no signs of being opened. This meant that the secret passage had not been discovered and the White Tiger Emperor Jade must still be in the secret passage.
Xuan Sitian was overjoyed and undid the restriction without worry.
A pitch-black secret passage was revealed. Xuan Sitian impatiently entered the secret passage.
