"The Imperial Court has appointed the Department of Xuan to handle this matter. Unauthorized personnel, leave immediately!"
Just as the Daoists were plotting, a voice suddenly rang out from outside. It carried the aura of war, and vaguely, there were sounds of resistance and screams.
"Hmm? Our plan has been leaked? "
The Daoists looked at each other. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads, chilling them to the bone.
No matter how disdainful they were, they knew that the Great Wu Dynasty had unified the Central Plains and had a deep foundation. Their secret plan might have a chance of success, but once the secret was leaked and the Great Wu Dynasty was on guard, there was absolutely no chance!
"Leave quickly!"
Hearing the battle cries approaching, a few Daoists leaped out of the secret room, their bodies flashing with the brilliance of Talisman.
"According to the imperial decree, the remnants of the Clear Peace Sect and the other Daoist lineages have conspired to rebel. Their crimes are unpardonable. All Daoist sects involved will be labeled as evil sects, and all members will be killed without mercy!"
The door was smashed open. I, wearing a golden crown and a five-colored Daoist robe, waved his horsetail whisk made of ice silk, and his voice resounded throughout the area.
"Imperial Court's dog, Daoist Tian Xiang, how dare you degrade yourself! Aren't you afraid that your ancestors of the Four Elements Sect will be shamed to the underworld!"
The Daoists shouted angrily.
The Daoist who came in was the sect master of the Four Elements Sect, Tian Xiang. However, ever since he surrendered, he had assisted Wu Zhi and accumulated some merit. Now, not only had he recovered his Earth Immortal status, but he also had a vague hope of improving. His magical power had become even more unfathomable.
"Everyone, this is absurd! The cycle of reincarnation and yin and yang, the Imperial Court has been established, and most of the Daoist lineages have surrendered. Only you are still overestimating yourselves, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. I is merely following the will of the heavens. Apart from you vermin, not only am I not at fault, but I have also gained great merit! "
Daoist Tian Xiang stroked his beard, "It's getting late, everyone, please go on your way … We cultivators will naturally destroy our bodies and souls if we want to kill. There's no need to talk about the next life!"
As he spoke, a bright barrier light spread out from behind Daoist Tian Xiang, causing the Daoists' expressions to change, "Earth Immortal Realm!? Retreat quickly! "
While their hearts turned cold, they were also surprised that the Four Elements Sect could still have such a magical power after the collapse.
"You think you can leave?"
Daoist Tianxiang sneered. Behind him, dozens of armored soldiers surged forward. They were all strong and valiant, clad in iron armor. Their heavy steel blades were filled with baleful energy, and they were the most destructive of magical powers.
"Hundred battle-hardened soldiers, iron-blooded killing intent?!"
The few Daoists were shocked and fled in all directions like birds and beasts.
Even if they were to compete in magic power, they might not be a match for Celestial Phenomenon I, let alone these elite soldiers who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
At their level, the baleful aura on their bodies was sufficient to render ordinary Dharmic powers and Divine Abilities ineffective. If they cultivated the Martial Dao at the same time, they would be able to instantly reach their target within a dozen or so steps, and that cultivator would really be killed if they were slightly careless.
"Do you think you can escape?"
A few of the captains shouted and leaped forward like a pair of rocs. Their movements were unbelievably agile and in a split second, they blocked the Daoists' path of retreat. Their long swords slashed continuously, their aura was as imposing as a mountain and they were rather methodical.
"Damn it, it's those martial arts aristocratic families!"
In this world, Wu Zhi was the number one martial artist and even had the battle record of killing immortals. Naturally, he attracted many martial arts aristocratic families to seek refuge with him. These people were already skilled in martial arts, and now that they were recruited into the army, they were trained in battle formations and discipline.
"Four Directions Infinity, Yin and Yang Borrowing Technique!"
A Daoist saw an officer slashing at him and shouted. The soil beneath his feet bulged and turned into a wall.
"Child's play. Kill!"
Unexpectedly, the captain opposite him shouted and a layer of bloody light appeared on his blade. Dense baleful energy condensed like a white fog and didn't dissipate. The sound waves crashed into the soil wall and instantly destroyed the structure of the Divine Ability. He slashed down again and the blade light broke through the defense without any resistance, piercing straight into the Daoist's heart.
"Martial Grandmaster? I'm not satisfied … "
The Daoist's eyes dimmed and his body's vitality was severed. Another Yin Spirit appeared as if it was trying to escape.
"Hehe!"
At this moment, the power of the Dharma Realm appeared and swept the Yin Spirit away. Shockingly, it was Celestial Phenomenon I who made his move.
"Daoist thief! The Celestial Lord will not let you go! "
Poof!
Two sounds of sharp blades entering bodies rang out. Another Daoist fell to the ground, struggling to speak before he died.
"The Celestial Lord?!"
Celestial Phenomenon I smiled coldly. "This is the capital of the Great Wu Dynasty, the Imperial Capital. The net of law is tight and the Sages of our dynasty are guarding it. Even if he is an Celestial Lord, who would dare to cross the line? Only you wandering ghosts whose sects have been destroyed are willing to be the vanguard! "
"All generals, listen to my order. Leave no one in this house alive. Immediately issue a wanted notice for any Daoist meridians involved!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Accompanied by a large number of responses, the Daoists in the entire house immediately fell into despair.
…
"Our plan has been leaked!"
Just as Jingyang City was in an uproar and the entire city was searching for the spy, above the clouds.
Several existences looked at this scene and were speechless. After a long time, they spat out four words.
"The Great Wu Dynasty has the mandate of heaven. We are going against heaven's will, so there will be many twists and turns!"
One of the existences said, and the surrounding space rippled.
He had a feather fan and a silk handkerchief, and his whole body was full of clear light. He had the appearance of a complete Dao. However, between his eyebrows, a black crystal had taken root in his flesh, and countless tentacles spread out, like a tattoo. It looked very strange.
"If we are talking about the mandate of heaven … it's not that we don't have it!"
Another existence said, his voice as heavy as a mountain. He had the body of a barbarian, nearly three meters tall, and wore animal skin. He was like a giant man who walked out of the wilderness. The only similarity was that half of his face was covered with patterns.
"We have received the origin of the Celestial Lord Jue Tian, so we can break through the limit and become Celestial Immortals. When we accepted it, we swore to disturb the world and destroy the orthodoxy. At this time, the Celestial Emperor is in seclusion and the Celestial Lord Nameless has gone into hiding. This is our last chance!"
A female Demon Immortal's voice was soft and charming. She wore a veil, and half of her face was vaguely revealed. It could be said that she was extremely beautiful — if the black patterns were ignored.
"That's right. If these two existences appear, we won't have any more chances. We must make a prompt decision!"
The giant Demon Immortal immediately echoed. "The other Daoist Immortals, even if they don't work together with us, will only watch from the sidelines. There has just been a great victory in the southwest, and the barbarians in the north are marching south. The Central Plains is unstable, and it's a good opportunity for us to act!"
"If we don't act decisively, we will suffer!"
Many powerful spiritual wills converged, and they suddenly made up their minds. "Even if Wu Zhi has the ability to kill Immortals, and Jing Yang is an important place in the Celestial Empire, and the net of law is tight, if we work together and sacrifice our origin, what is there to fear?"
Rumble!
Suddenly, a layer of thick dark clouds appeared in the sky above Jing Yang City.
The originally clear and breezy sky was suddenly filled with rolling dark clouds and dancing lightning. The dark clouds came crashing down with the power to destroy a city, pressing down heavily on the hearts of all those who were knowledgeable.
"This cloud has demonic Qi!"
Daoist Tianxiang suddenly raised his head, and his eyes shone brightly. Suddenly, his expression changed. "Demon Immortal!"
"Haha …"
In the field, the daoist who was still standing, bathed in blood, laughed. "The four barbarians are in chaos, and the Dragon Qi of the Central Plains is unstable. The Immortal Venerables have finally moved! Haha … let's see how long your Great Wu Dynasty can be arrogant … "
Before he finished speaking, several steel sabers stabbed into his body, and he instantly died.
"What are you panicking for?"
The people of the Department of Divination all knew how powerful it was, and a look of anxiety appeared on their faces.
Seeing this, Tianxiang I immediately scolded, "The Wu Dynasty has the mandate of heaven, and has the protection of the Celestial Thearch and the gods above, the Saints in the middle, and we are willing to die for it. We are united, so what is there to fear? Go to the imperial city immediately! "
"Yes!"
Hearing his words, everyone forced themselves to calm down and flew in the direction of the imperial city, but the worry in their eyes was still strong.
…
"This …"
Within the Crown Prince's residence, Wu Ding looked at the suddenly darkening sky, and his expression also changed. "There must be a reason for this abnormality!"
As the person with the closest Dragon Qi to Wu Zhi, he keenly felt the difference in the sky.
Rumble!
Right at this moment, a thunderous voice came over with an awe-inspiring might that was like a towering mountain pressing down on everyone. "The Wu Dynasty is lawless, offending my Dao Sect and wiping out my orthodoxy! Today, the fate of the empire shall be wiped out, where is Wu Zhi? "
"What guts!"
The maids and eunuchs in the surroundings knelt down under the majestic voice, and some even fainted. However, Wu Ding's face flushed red. "Rebel! Rebel! "
Roar roar!
Under the complicated gazes of numerous divine arts practitioners, a golden pillar appeared in the direction of the imperial palace with a dragon roar. It stood upright and pushed away the dark clouds, bringing with it an awe-inspiring might that could rule over all living things.
In the golden pillar, the figure of a five-clawed golden dragon appeared. The dragon's eyes shone with five colors, and it no longer had the arrogance of a flood dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Instead, it had an air of grace.
This was the state after the Dragon Qi was completed, and it was the only true dragon in the world.
"It's indeed a true dragon! If we want to break this spell, we can only make use of the favorable conditions! "
In the clouds, numerous devil immortals sighed in admiration when they saw this sight. Then, greenish-purple halos appeared on their bodies, and they shouted in unison, "Where is the Dragon Qi of the Four Barbarians?"
Boom!
In an instant, from the four directions of the golden dragon, a blackish-purple qi appeared. The ones in the south and north were the thickest, and they transformed into the shape of dragon wolves. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced forward.
Roar roar!
When the golden dragon saw this, a hint of fury finally flashed in its eyes. It tangled with the four beams of dragon qi, and the golden pillar trembled.
"Haha … As expected of Celestial Venerable Juutian. Even though it's a setup before death, it can still shake the dragon qi of the central plains!"
The devil immortals felt the pressure on them lessen by half, and they were instantly delighted. "Let's take this chance to sweep the acupoints and kill the empress. The dragon qi will definitely be greatly damaged!"
"Who are you going to kill?"
Accompanied by a voice that was as clear as jade, Wu Zhi, who was wearing the Nine Phoenix Imperial Robe, walked up into the void step by step. Around him, a large amount of space shattered and turned into dust. It was the sixth level martial path that shattered the void!
"Clowns, you dare to act violently when my husband isn't around?"
Wu Zhi's lips curled into a cold smile. "It just so happens that I've created a new move, Emperor Imperial Dragon Fists. Today, I'll use you all to test it out!"
Roar roar!
In the next instant, a golden beam of dragon qi landed in Wu Zhi's right hand, and it let out a loud dragon roar!
