The three of them appeared outside a large city.
Tang Hui frowned and looked around.
As an Enlightened Master, his facial features were superior to ordinary people. The strong smell of blood rushed into his nose and he could not help but feel nauseous.
He could not hear anything except for the sound of the wind whistling past the city walls.
There was no movement in such a large city. Coupled with the strong smell of blood, it was obvious that there were no living people inside. It was a real massacre with no survivors.
"Let's go in and take a look!" He snorted with a sullen face.
Luo Feng and Jian Da followed him past the city walls. What they saw was a dark street that was dyed red with blood. The blood seeped into the bricks and soil and turned black after weathering.
The smell of blood was several times stronger.
Luo Feng entered a courtyard and quickly came out. He shook his head. "They're all dead. They died from a palm strike that pierced their hearts."
"There shouldn't be so much blood," Tang Hui said.
Jian Da also came out from another courtyard. "This was done on purpose. They purposely let out the blood."
"Why?" Tang Hui asked with a frown.
Jian Da shook his head.
They quickly went around the entire city. Everyone died in the same way. Their hearts were ruptured and there was a powerful force pushing out their blood, causing it to flow out completely.
"Can you tell who did it?" Tang Hui looked at Jian Da.
Jian Da frowned and thought for a while before shaking his head.
It was his first time encountering such a situation. He really could not determine who it was.
"Your Majesty, no matter who it is, their martial arts are extremely terrifying." Jian Da said in a low voice. "There are several Grandmasters among the dead. Grandmasters have a strong intuition and can sense the approaching danger in advance. They were still killed without a sound. It's hard to say how strong this person's martial arts is."
"Do you think it's an Enlightened Master?" Tang Hui asked.
He shook his head again.
If an Enlightened Master did such a thing, the Heavenly Punishment would have fallen long ago.
"It could also be a Celestial," Jian Da said in a low voice.
Tang Hui nodded lightly.
He did not have a good impression of these Celestials. They were lawless and lacked respect for Enlightened Masters. They only cared about their own little schemes and caused chaos in the world. Although he was Chu Li's enemy, he agreed with Chu Li's approach. Celestials should be killed.
Jian Da said, "Your Majesty, we need to think of a way. Otherwise, if they continue killing without any resistance, I'm afraid that the Fu Dynasty won't be enough for them to kill! … At the same time, there was a massacre in several places. It is very likely that there were several Celestials, not just one person. "
"If he really is a Celestial Being, he can appear thousands of miles away at any time," Luo Feng said.
"Based on my intuition, it wasn't done by one person." Jian Da shook his head.
Tang Hui snorted. "If you can't figure out who it is, how can you talk about dealing with them? Is there any other way? "
Jian Da shook his head in resignation.
"Could it be Asura?" Tang Hui said in a deep voice.
It suddenly occurred to him, why did the Celestial Beings descend? It was to deal with the Asuras, but the Asuras rarely appeared. The current tragic situation was very much in line with the actions of the legendary Asuras.
"Asura!" Jian Da's expression was solemn as he said slowly, "I also have the same suspicions, but because I don't have any evidence, I don't dare to say it rashly. If it really is Asura, then there will be big trouble!"
"Asura …" Tang Hui sighed.
Even the Celestials couldn't deal with them, let alone the people of this realm.
Jian Da said, "Your Majesty, if it really is Asura, how should we deal with them? We'll have to ask Immortal Attraction Mountain for help. There's also the Stargazing Pavilion. They have the ability of divination and should know! "
"I'll personally pay a visit to the Stargazing Pavilion!" Tang Hui said in a deep voice.
With a flash, he brought the two back to the forbidden palace. Just as he was about to pay a visit to the Stargazing Pavilion, a young guard standing outside braced himself and said, "Your Majesty!"
Luo Feng walked up to the young guard with an unkind expression.
This guard had no right to speak, but he had already broken the rules by speaking rashly.
The young guard said a few words in a low voice.
Luo Feng came over again. Tang Hui waved his hand. With his hearing, he naturally heard it. He said in a deep voice, "Since it's a disciple of the Stargazing Pavilion, invite him in!"
"Yes." Luo Feng agreed and left quietly.
After a while, Tang Hui saw the disciple of the Stargazing Pavilion, Li Xinghe, in the hall.
Li Xinghe cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Tang Hui cupped his fists on the dragon throne and stretched out his hand. Luo Feng brought up a chair and invited Li Xinghe to sit.
Li Xinghe said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I've come under orders to warn you."
Tang Hui extended his hand and gestured for him to continue.
Li Xinghe said, "An ominous star has fallen from the sky. The Asuras will descend in large numbers in the near future, mainly within our Fu Dynasty's borders. Your Majesty must think of a way to deal with them. Otherwise, there's no telling how many Fu Dynasty citizens will suffer."
"Young Hero Li." Tang Hui frowned and said, "I've received news that twenty-four cities have been massacred. It should be the work of the Asuras, but I can't do anything about it now. The culprit can't be found at all."
"Our pavilion will deduce their location." Li Xinghe said, "However, our pavilion can only deduce their location and can't take action. Only Your Majesty can take action or find strong reinforcements. Your Majesty alone won't be able to deal with these Asuras."
"Strong reinforcements …" Tang Hui sighed.
His original strong reinforcements should've been Goddess Attraction Mountain. One civil and one military, they had always been rivals and partners. They were united against the outside world, but they would fight incessantly internally. Unfortunately, the current Goddess Attraction Mountain was different from before. Because of Chu Li, it was difficult for them to work together.
Li Xinghe said, "Is Your Majesty worried about Chu Li?"
"Yes," Tang Hui said in a deep voice.
"Chu Li isn't someone who can't see the bigger picture." Li Xinghe said, "He won't stop Goddess Attraction Mountain from helping."
"He's a person who understands the bigger picture?" Tang Hui scoffed.
Li Xinghe said, "He has a compassionate heart, which is very rare. I can persuade Chu Li on his behalf to help deal with the Asuras. He has a deep hatred for them."
"…" Tang Hui frowned and pondered.
He had no intention of relying on Chu Li at first and only wanted to kill him. However, he knew that it was best to ask for Chu Li's help to deal with these Asuras. This could be considered as borrowing the Asuras' hand to probe Chu Li's background and even kill him.
With this thought in mind, he slowly nodded and said, "It would be best if Chu Li could let go of his hatred for the Fu Dynasty's imperial family and help us."
"I'll try," Li Xinghe said.
However, he knew that there was a high chance that he could persuade Chu Li because he knew that Chu Li sympathized with the people and would not allow others to kill them indiscriminately. If he found out, he would not let them off easily. Whether he asked for Fu Dynasty's help or not, Chu Li would still make a move. Why not do a favor when it was convenient?
"Thank you very much!" Tang Hui gave a fist salute.
Li Xinghe said, "Your Majesty must be angry that we didn't inform you earlier … Asuras are resistant to divination and there are even powerful masters who have concealed the heavenly secrets. It's extremely difficult for us to divine. I rushed over immediately after the divination but I was still too late to save those people who died tragically."
"Everyone has their own fate. This is their fate." Tang Hui came to a realization and felt relieved.
Li Xinghe nodded lightly and said no more.
The Stargazing Pavilion had the same view on human life and death. Everyone had their own fate and could not be forced.
"Your Majesty, please make the necessary preparations. I'll make a trip to the Ji Dynasty first." Li Xinghe gave a fist salute. "It's better if Your Majesty personally invites Goddess Attraction Mountain."
