Although the Nether Sect had conquered the Divine Capital, there were still many dangers lurking within the palace walls.
However, how could the trip to Lou Lan be smooth?
After muttering to himself for a moment, Lu Zhou said, "Old Seventh, take the flying chariot to Liang Province and look for your Second Senior Brother."
With Yu Shangrong's help, they would be much safer.
Ye Tianxin said, "Master … Why don't I go to Liang Province with Seventh Junior Brother? I've traveled around Great Yan before. I've been to the western regions and passed by Lou Lan. If we go in a chariot, we'll be too big of a target, and it'll easily attract the attention of the Outsiders. It's very dangerous. "
Ye Tianxin's words made sense.
With her accompanying him, it would definitely be much smoother.
However, Si Wuya said, "Sixth Senior Sister, although you're at the Eight-leaf stage, you haven't fully recovered yet … Why don't you stay? The Divine Capital needs you, master … Moreover, I have eyes in Lou Lan. "
"…"
There are informants …
Si Wuya glanced at Yu Zhenghai and said, "Master, time waits for no one. I'll take my leave now."
"Go." Lu Zhou waved his arm.
Si Wuya pushed away from the ground and flew toward the flying chariot.
The cloud-splitting chariot left a long, bright trail in the direction of Liang Province. It streaked across the sky and vanished into the sea of clouds in just a blink of an eye.
The cultivators outside the Divine Capital were shocked and confused when they saw this.
Perhaps the disappearance of the Ten Terminal Formation had emboldened them. They approached the Divine Capital one after another, wanting to find out what was going on.
There were no city guards, no sky screen, no crossbows …
The Divine Capital was in ruins.
Collapsed houses, scattered corpses, and pools of blood filled with flies were the perfect depiction of the post-war God's Capital.
For some reason, when the cultivators strolled in the air, they all let out long sighs of relief.
After the war, one would be reborn.
"In the end, who … won the final victory?"
The cultivators hovering in the air formed groups and looked in the direction of the Imperial City.
No one knew the answer.
No one dared to enter the Imperial City. They could only fly around the Divine Capital.
…
Imperial City, Dazheng Palace.
Li Yunzhao supported the Empress Dowager and sat down slowly.
The person sitting opposite her was the Evil Sky Pavilion's Master, the greatest Nine-leaf expert.
The hall was filled with people kneeling.
The civil and military officials, as well as the elders of the two academies, were all tied up and kneeling down.
"Zhao Yue … You're here as well." When the Empress Dowager looked up, she saw Zhao Yue behind Lu Zhou.
Zhao Yue lowered her head.
"I won't blame you."
Of course, she couldn't blame Zhao Yue … nor could she blame Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue had not been in the palace since she was a child. She had done her duty to take care of the Empress Dowager when she was seriously ill. On the contrary, it was rare that Zhao Yue did not bear a grudge against the Imperial Palace.
The Empress Dowager knew that she owed her, so how could she blame her?
She shifted her gaze to Lu Zhou and sized him up. Then, she said emotionally, "Long time no see."
Lu Zhou did not respond to her question.
"There are tens of thousands of Nether Sect members outside Dazheng Palace. They're the subordinates of my disciple, Yu Zhenghai …"
"I know."
"I won't comment on Liu Ge. Ever since Liu Gu ascended to the throne, he has not interfered with the affairs of the court. He has killed the Bai people and had their corpses thrown into the river to be fished out for ten years. The princes have rebelled and colluded with the Great Sorcerers of the Alien Tribes to bring disaster to the Nine States. For the imperial family to end up like this … "
"They only have themselves to blame," the Empress Dowager added. Then, she sighed.
She turned to look at the civil and military officials and said, "It's meaningless to talk about this now … The change of a dynasty is a law of nature. If the nine provinces can live and work in peace and contentment, I won't have any complaints even if my surname is Ji. "
Inside the great hall.
The civil and military officials prostrated themselves and cheered.
"Empress Dowager!"
The word 'Empress Dowager' sounded desolate and moving.
If the world really changed its surname … then their generation would all be slaves of a subjugated country.
Lu Zhou shook his head.
He was different from Yu Zhenghai. He had no interest in the world.
If his eldest disciple, Yu Zhenghai, wanted to ascend the throne, he would have to put in a lot of effort. His surname was not Liu, after all.
Of the five princes, only the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince were left. It had nothing to do with him who the civil and military officials wanted to support to ascend the throne.
However, Yu Zhenghai had painstakingly conquered the world. If his disciple made the decision, would he not disappoint his disciple?
He was not in a hurry to make a decision.
Instead, he looked at the elders and civil and military officials of the Big Dipper Academy and the Sky Conduct Academy.
"What should we do with these people?" Lu Zhou asked.
"The Evil Sky Pavilion can do whatever they want with them." The Empress Dowager was indifferent.
"Since I'm asking you, I'll respect your decision …"
Lu Zhou asked.
The elders of the two academies who had been sentenced to death were overjoyed. They hastily kowtowed.
The Empress Dowager was taken aback.
The Divine Capital had fallen. What else was there to say?
She turned her head around and swept a glance at the Elders who were kneeling in front of her. The banging sounds of kowtowing made her feel a little frustrated.
"Drag them out … and behead them."
The imperial family was the most heartless.
It had been like this since ancient times.
The elders' faces were ashen when they heard this order.
"Spare us, Empress Dowager! Spare us! "
The Imperial guards charged in.
Before these elders were tied up, their cultivation had already been sealed. Under the hands of the Imperial Army, they were unable to put up the slightest resistance and were dragged out.
Lu Zhou glanced at them and felt it was a pity.
'Should I be merciless and kill them with my own hands?'
Although the cultivation bases of the remaining elders were low, they were still a piece of meat.
'I'm imagining things again.'
"When did you find out he wasn't Liu Gu?" Lu Zhou asked.
The Empress Dowager looked up and said, "I know my son well. I found out the day Liu Gu ascended the throne."
"Liu Ge is still around. With his abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take this person down," Lu Zhou said.
"Liu Ge did think of that. Alas … the fake Liu Gu was already at the Eight-leaf stage at that time. He also had the super heaven-grade Magistrate Brush," the Empress Dowager said.
Lu Zhou flipped his hand.
He held the brush with a red tip in his palm. "Is this a super heaven-grade item as well?"
The Empress Dowager was not surprised to see the brush in Lu Zhou's hands. She nodded and said, "That's right."
This … was probably the reason the Imperial family was able to stand tall under the heavens.
Liu Ge had High Void, and Liu Gu had the Magistrate Brush. They gathered the elites under the heavens in the Divine Capital.
The armor, the red veins, and the red tip of the brush …
Lu Zhou asked, "Where did the Imperial family obtain these items?"
The Empress Dowager turned to look at Li Yunzhao and said, "Dismiss them …"
Li Yunzhao understood her intention. He faced the officials and said, "The Empress Dowager is tired. You're dismissed."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
All of the officials were dumbfounded.
The Divine Capital was occupied. What should they do next? Should they leave or stay? There was no telling what they should do.
However, since the Empress Dowager had spoken, they could not say anything. They left Dazheng Palace respectfully.
The Empress Dowager rose to her feet and said, "Please follow me."
"Where are we going?"
Li Yunzhao said in a low voice, "The inner treasury."
When Little Yuan 'er heard this, she exclaimed in shock, "The inner treasury that shameless fellow mentioned?"
Zhu Honggong chimed in, "Is there anything good there? We've won. Logically speaking, I can go in and rob them. "
The others looked at Zhu Honggong.
'Are you used to being the king of the mountain? You're crazy! '
He turned to look at Conch and scratched his head. "Am I wrong?"
Nobody paid any attention to him.
He hastily followed them.
Zhu Honggong could not understand.
"Tenth Junior Sister, am I wrong?"
Conch nodded. "Yes."
"Then, why are you looking at me like that? Are you jealous of my intelligence? " Zhu Honggong was about to scratch his head when he noticed he was wearing a boxing glove. He immediately lowered his hand. "I'm indeed much smarter than before … Huh? Where's she? Third Brother? Fifth Senior Sister? Sixth Senior Sister? Where is he? “
The huge Dazheng Palace was empty.
…
After the battle in the Divine Capital.
Many palace maids and eunuchs fled the Imperial Palace, and the journey seemed lonely and cold.
A moment later, the group arrived near the Royal Family's so-called warehouse.
After turning a few more times, he finally saw a simple brown door that was thirty feet tall and more than ten feet wide.
The Empress Dowager stopped and raised her head to look over. She said, "This is the royal treasury. Because it is deep within the royal palace, it is also called the inner treasury."
Lu Zhou found the brown door familiar. He said, "I think I've been here before."
Li Yunzhao smiled.
"Senior Ji was on good terms with the late Emperor, so it's normal for him to come here … However, the inner treasury isn't completely safe. Half a year ago, a Dragoncry Sword was lost, and we still haven't found it."
Lu Zhou pretended not to hear him.
In any case, it has nothing to do with me.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager produced a key and opened the door to the inner treasury.
Lu Zhou did not ask about the key. He followed the Empress Dowager as though nothing had happened.
"The items that Emperor Yong Shou obtained were all placed in the inner treasury …"
