Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 625 The Methods of the Great Ancestor

Inside the Qianxin Palace.

The Holy Emperor appeared, accompanied by Chief Minister Zhang and Eunuch Zheng.

"You really disappoint me."

The Emperor's face was full of disappointment.

He had always valued the eldest prince, Zhu Kang, and had even considered passing the throne to him long ago.

But in the end, human nature is unpredictable.

He understood why Zhu Kang did this.

An emperor who lives too long can indeed drive too many princes mad.

but--

This is not a justification for patricide.

The Holy Emperor shook his head: "I had long expected that a son would rebel, but I never expected it would be you."

Not bad.

He had actually anticipated this scene long ago, and therefore had made ample preparations.

Zhu Kang suppressed him inside the jade mirror, but he could break free and leave at any time.

The reason it took three whole years to arrive is...

It was just for fishing.

"Father, I know my crime."

Zhu Kang knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

It's truly lamentable that someone at the Purple Mansion Realm is in such a state.

The Holy Emperor's eyes, however, were icy cold.

He may be the emperor of Yu who values ​​relationships the most, but when this happened, his attitude was very firm.

They didn't even ask Li Rui or Chief Minister Zhang to take action.

He raised his hand and slapped down at Zhu Kangtian's head.

The Holy Emperor was a genuine Dao Body Realm cultivator. With this palm strike, even a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator would have no chance to withstand it. Zhu Kang's physical body collapsed instantly, and his life force was completely extinguished.

Even the spiritual embryo had been obliterated by the methods prepared by the Holy Emperor, completely vanishing into thin air.

The others in the main hall were all watching.

This is the imperial family.

When something like this happens, there can be no room for mercy.

Although the Holy Emperor's actions were ruthless, they were necessary.

Zhu Kang died, and Sima Mo died.

Qianxin Palace is finally at peace.

The Emperor looked at Li Rui and said, "Thank you, Minister Li."

Li Rui: "This is my duty."

He did not kill Zhu Kang with his own hands just now to show his loyalty or for momentary pleasure.

Even if Zhu Kang is wicked.

That's the Holy Emperor's son. If someone else takes action against him, it will definitely become a thorn in the Holy Emperor's side.

Not only him, but also Chief Minister Zhang acted as an observer.

The Holy Emperor regained his wise demeanor and smiled faintly: "I'm sorry to have made you two ministers laugh. Well, well, well, it's more important to close the net."

Zhu Kang dared to do this.

It has its own evil.

However, the usurpation by the Arctic Demon Sect was also inevitable.

This grudge should naturally be held against those cultivators of the Myriad Laws Hall.

The Holy Emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent:
"Now that you're here, there's no need to leave!"

On the imperial city walls, several Celestial Realm experts were locked in fierce combat, with no clear victor for the time being.

"Ok?"

Fairy Tangli frowned slightly.

Just a moment ago, she sensed the aura of the Holy Emperor of Yu Kingdom reappear, and Zhu Kang's soul vanished.

Obviously.

It must be that the Holy Emperor left behind some means to kill his own son.

It turns out that old ginger is still spicy.

Despite Zhu Kang's careful planning, he still lost.

Fairy Tangli understood that their plan could only be half successful in the end.

Yes.

It was not a complete failure.

The moment the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws successfully bewitched Zhu Kang, it had already won.

The fortune of the Celestial Dynasty, to put it bluntly, is the fortune of the royal family.

He is both the Holy Emperor and a prince.

A prince may not gain much fortune, but once he dies, the impact on the fortune of a nation cannot be small.

Not to mention all the other things Zhu Kang did.

Regardless of success or failure, the fate of the Yu Kingdom will suffer a severe blow.

The Immortal Tomb will also be affected as a result.

The purpose of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws has been achieved.

This predicament has been unsolvable since the moment the State of Yu rose to power.

When the Kingdom of Yu is weak and declining, the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws can easily control it. When the Kingdom of Yu is prosperous, the conflict between the princes and the emperor becomes irreconcilable. Even without Zhu Kang, other princes would step in. Therefore, the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws cannot possibly lose.

but--

The success of the overall strategy cannot mask the failures in certain areas.

Tonight, their situation is dangerous.

The Fairy of Pear Trees understood as well.

These people have become the abandoned pawns of the Extinction Real Person.

The name of extinction is truly well-deserved.

Everyone was a pawn in his scheme to open the Immortal Tomb.

While thinking.

A blazing flame that almost distorted space brushed past her, and a crimson immortal sword came hurtling towards her once more.

"This woman"

The Pear Fairy looked somewhat helpless.

Her opponent is the Azure Phoenix Fairy.

Although she entered the Celestial Realm a longer time than Fairy Qingluan, in terms of combat strength, she is actually inferior to her.

Sword cultivators are fearless when they fight.

That's why it's even more difficult for her to escape.

Just as Fairy Tangli was pondering how to escape—

Suddenly, a crimson-gold curtain of light rose over the capital city.

Seeing the light screen rise, Fairy Tangli could no longer remain calm and exclaimed, "Nine Dragons Sealing Heaven Formation!"

She never expected it.

It's incredible to see an ancient formation that has long been lost in a small celestial grotto.

For a while.

Her heart sank to the bottom.

When this Nine Dragons Sealing Heaven Formation appears, even those at the Celestial Realm will be suppressed and unable to escape.

in other words.

They are going to die.

Deep beneath the palace, in a secret chamber a hundred feet high.

"Such a wondrous place exists within the imperial palace."

Li Rui curiously examined the nine dragon-carved pillars, each ninety-nine feet tall, inside the secret chamber.

Just how many treasures does the Zhu family have hidden away?

If it weren't for the Holy Emperor personally opening it today.

Even he, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, was unaware of the existence of such a place.

Judging from the appearance of Chief Minister Zhang not far away, he should be just like him, completely unaware of this grand formation.

The Holy Emperor stood between nine dragon-carved pillars.

Countless fine threads connect its body to the coiled dragon pillars.

He was the one who activated the grand formation just now, while Li Rui and Chief Minister Zhang assisted him from the side.

The reason he was able to withstand the Jade Mirror magic weapon of the Myriad Laws Hall was precisely because of this Nine Dragons Sealing Heaven Formation.

He used a powerful formation to protect his life essence, so that his rebellious son wouldn't swap his soul.

While manipulating the great formation, the Holy Emperor said, "My two beloved ministers, this great formation was left behind by the Great Ancestor. I heard that it originated from the Ten Thousand Mountains. Now that I think about it, the Great Ancestor probably also went to the Immortal Tomb."

Hear this.

Li Rui was startled.

There has long been a rumor that although Emperor Taizu's family originated from Mount Taiheng in the north, he himself only emerged after a trip south.

In retrospect, it seems he accidentally stumbled into a celestial tomb and received a heaven-defying fortune.

This Nine Dragons Sealing Heaven Formation should also have been obtained from the Immortal Tomb.

This formation was nurtured by successive emperors of the Yu Kingdom, which is why it has the ability to suppress those at the Celestial Realm.

True depth!
The Holy Emperor also looked at Li Rui with a surprised expression.

'This is probably close to breaking through to the Celestial Realm, isn't it?'

No matter how powerful a formation is, the key is still the people who can create it.

If it were up to him alone, he could only maintain it for a quarter of an hour at most, but now a quarter of an hour has passed and the formation is still at its peak. This is all thanks to Li Rui.

Li Rui's magical power was like an abyss, being swallowed up and absorbed by the great formation, yet the bottom could not be seen at all.

'No, even a peak Dao Body cultivator is far inferior to him.'

'Has he already become a celestial being?'

The Holy Emperor muttered to himself.

But then I thought about Li Rui's behavior.

It's really possible!
A full hour passed.

The commotion over the capital finally subsided, and the great formation was withdrawn.

finally.

All four Heavenly Beings of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws were defeated in the capital of Yu Kingdom. Even the spirit embryo could not escape due to the Nine Dragons Sealing Heaven Formation, and could not even be reincarnated.

The Celestial Realm being forced into such a predicament is truly tragic.

Just when everyone thought it was all over—

Thunder rumbled from the northern horizon.
