Chapter 1062 Entering Beijing
A storm is brewing, a storm called 'civil war'.

After the Demon Queen gathered her forces and turned Putuo Prefecture into hell, she did not make a big fuss about affecting other places.

She seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving behind only the rampaging demons and monsters, besieged and ravaged...

Many forces across the land breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Enchantress was not as terrifying as rumored; perhaps she had simply changed her nature by not being confined for too long.

With the pressure from external enemies gone, the human race began to settle scores internally.

The conflict between the aristocratic families and the feudal lords erupted and quickly escalated into a proposal to depose the feudal lords.

The base of power for a feudal lord was the capital city and the eight directly governed prefectures, while powerful families were not only located in the capital city but also distributed throughout the fifty prefectures of the empire. If they gathered together, they might really be able to overthrow the feudal lord.

Even while Zhou You and his group were still on their way to Beijing, they already felt the impending urgency of a storm brewing.

Fortunately, after the illusion was destroyed by the Enchantress, one of its disguises survived: the Heart Demon Ring.

The Heart Demon Ring was a disguise created by the Void Dimension. Later, it combined with the power of the Demon Soldier Village. Due to its special circumstances, it became the sole survivor.

He was in Beijing, preparing for the upcoming 'Grand Finals', and also gathering information through his underlings.

The Imperial Palace for Offering Sacrifices to Heaven!

Since the conspiracy to enfeoff the emperor was exposed, it has become a complete information black hole, only taking in but not giving out, and not a single piece of news can be transmitted.

The two demonic slaves, Zhou Suanni, and the maid Wu'er, although still able to send messages, all said that the situation was unclear and that they had been ordered by their respective superiors to remain at their posts, with anyone who left without permission to be killed.

General Zhou of the Imperial Guards has completely disappeared since the incident in Putuo Prefecture.

Now everyone knows his true identity: Feng, the most trusted confidant and bodyguard of the emperor. Later, he changed his name to Ma Gui and joined the evil martial arts to take charge of Putuo Prefecture. After his death, he returned to Dijing and used secret techniques to transform into Zhou Yiyuan, the Zhonglang.

Zhonglang Zhou, this top-secret royal project was also exposed.

According to insiders, the so-called Zhonglang Zhou are all living dead who have been resurrected in other people's bodies. They cannot be exposed to the light, so they can only move around wearing heavy iron shells and have lost all sense of taste and emotion.

These living dead were created by Feng Jun with the assistance of Jin Yong; they are his most loyal lackeys.

Well, after Jin Lao died, Wu Lao Zhuang was severely weakened and has moved away from its original site; its whereabouts are unknown.

The most devastating loss in the Putuo Prefecture incident was to the lord himself. The Great Gentleman was gone, the two pharmacists, Sanwei and Wuwei, had completely lost faith in him, and the sheep demon and Qiwei, who did his dirty work, were both dead...

As a result, the deceased wife failed to be resurrected, but instead unleashed the terrifying monster, the Enchantress.

Utter defeat and devastating losses—that's all there is to it.

Many people wanted to see the lord's reaction afterward, imagining that he might be filled with regret, annoyance, or rage.

However, since that day, the palace gates and walls of the sacrificial palace have been sealed off, and no one is allowed to move around. It has been a long time since anyone has seen the emperor, and, well, his most favored concubine, Meifei.

As Consort Mei's most valued maid, Wu'er never saw Consort Mei again, nor did she receive any of her orders.

The messages from these two demonic slaves prove that the situation in the capital is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

In order to increase their leverage against the feudal lords, the eighteen ancient families invited many other ancient families to enter the capital.

Against this backdrop, the movements of the powerful warlords of past dynasties were hidden among countless travelers, converging into the territory of the eight prefectures of Zhili.

"I'm just curious, you're the son of the governor of Maijing Prefecture, how come you're willing to become a slave of the demon soldiers?"

On an official road near Jingzhou, a cheerful young man carrying a wooden pole and chewing on a straw asked his companion, Wulinbei, about something.

Wu Linbei now has a beard and looks mature and experienced, more like a middle-aged man.

He returned from other cities to the eight prefectures of Zhili, determined not to miss this important event.

He was lucky; the young man he met on the way turned out to be the Demon Soldier's Overlord... the previous Demon Spear Master. He put the spearhead in his bosom, holding only a wooden stick in his hand, and when he met the Martial Arts Monument, he casually stabbed a powerful demon that had wandered into the area to death.

The monster had fled from the southeast region to this area and was at the level of a candidate for one of the top ten monsters in the southeast. He killed it without lifting a finger.

Afterwards, Wu Linbei introduced himself and surprisingly got along very well with the Fiend Spear.

This fierce gunman is very easygoing, not picky about food or lodging, and has a kind of easygoing style. Moreover, his "fierceness" is not in his personality, but in his marksmanship.

He is usually cheerful and rarely gets angry. He seems harmless and even lends a hand to the elderly and weak.

But once they take action, their ferocity materializes, and they will not stop until they have turned their enemies into mincemeat.

The Martial Arts Stele is getting stranger and stranger. Is this the Lord of Demonic Weapons? And the Lord of the Ferocious Demon Spear?
He returned to Jingzhou from elsewhere, ostensibly obeying his father's summons, bringing back wealth and manpower to help.

The governor of Maijing Prefecture was a staunch supporter of the feudal lords, and this time he also stood firm in his camp, determined to clash with the eighteen aristocratic families of the ancestors.

And what about the Martial Arts Monument?
"To be honest, my greatest wish in this life is to kill that old dog, Governor of Maijing Prefecture, and exterminate his entire clan, um, except for myself!"

Wu Linbei spoke calmly, revealing a secret he had kept hidden for a long time to the young man.

The boy blinked and nodded in affirmation, "Your dream is good; it's worth realizing."

After listening, he remained calm, offering neither objection nor assistance.

The desire of Wu Linbei to kill his father and even slaughter his entire family was as insignificant as drinking water to him.

It was only at this moment that Wulinbei realized that he had never truly known this powerful demonic warrior.

His weapon master, the Heart Demon Ring, is about to face an unprecedented formidable enemy.

……

A desolate wilderness littered with wreckage!

The aged figure searched around, a hammer sticking out of his back, the hammerhead a ferocious lion's head, covered in mottled bloodstains.

The mangled corpses on the ground were all smashed by him with this 'Barbarian Hammer'.

Even with all the debris scattered around, he was still not at ease and searched the area carefully several times, fearing that there might be a single survivor.

The busy figure of the Demon Hammer resembled an old farmer with his trousers rolled up, inspecting weeds in a rice paddy, his expression serious and his gaze earnest.

A moment later, the Barbarian Hammer exhaled, sat on a pile of corpses, and tore off a piece of flag to wipe his feet.

This team belongs to a local aristocratic family that traveled to the capital. Although they are not an ancient aristocratic family, they are still a top-tier force in the prefecture. The family has three grandmasters, and to enhance their prestige, they also invited a grandmaster from a super sect to accompany them.

However, they encountered the Demon Hammer on the way, and were wiped out in a single battle.

Without a doubt, he was also a powerful and powerful ruler of demonic forces.

"Whew, that's about it!"

The Demon Hammer took a breath, then suddenly drew the hammer handle from his back and swung it, shattering the space like a mirror.

The next scene shows the annihilated army reappearing intact, the shattered corpses now transformed into lifelike living people.

"Let's go to the capital!"

At the command of the Demon Hammer, the various members of the team began to move slowly, as if starting up a machine.
