The Xiayang Dynasty was in turmoil, and the twelve states were in turmoil. Only Haozhou seemed to be isolated and peaceful.

After a day of traveling, Chu Mo finally arrived at the Soul-Breaking Desert.

Looking at the endless, undulating sand dunes, the rolling sand and wind made it impossible to open one's eyes, and the environment was still as bad as ever.

As June approaches, the temperature in the desert has become very hot, and the heat waves blowing in your face bring a scorching feeling.

Chu Mo swallowed his dry throat and looked at the deserted desert. For a moment, he didn't know how to find Chen Gong and the others.

Just when Chu Mo was at a loss, wondering whether to enter the desert, a slight noise came from the side.

“Swoosh—swoosh—”

Two sounds of breaking wind were heard, and two men in black robes appeared not far away, holding long swords and walking on the sand with swift movements.

The two men quickly came to Chu Mo, knelt on one knee and said, "Secret Guard Chen Ce (Zhang Hao) greets the lord. We have been waiting here for a long time under the order of Lord Yao."

Chu Mo naturally recognized that the two men were shadow guards under Yao Guangxiao. Looking at their ordinary faces, Chu Mo smiled meaningfully and said softly, "Where are Yao Guangxiao and Chen Gong now? I want to see them now."

Chen Ce said respectfully, "My lord, you may not know that Lord Yao has already entered the desert first. He has already given instructions before leaving, asking Zhang Hao and I to escort you all the way to join them."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo looked at the two of them deeply, and without saying anything more, he followed them into the depths of the desert.

However, the two of them did not notice that the token representing the identity of the Shadow Guard Inspector fell from Chu Mo's waist and stuck in the yellow sand.

After the three people left, a figure appeared and picked up the token. Then he looked deeply at Chu Mo's departing back and walked to the other side.

In the imperial capital, a new day begins. The warm sunshine shines everywhere in the imperial capital, and the glazed tiles on the roofs emit colorful glow.

At this moment in the Taiji Hall, a group of civil and military officials stood in the court. Unlike the silence in the past, everyone was whispering and talking to each other.

The reason was that an hour had passed since the morning court session, and Emperor Tang Tiansheng, who always claimed to be a wise ruler who would create a prosperous era, had yet to show up.

This was the first time that the civil and military officials in the court had encountered such a situation, and many officials had already started to cry out.

"What happened to His Majesty today? We have been waiting for an hour. Did His Majesty forget that today is the day for the court meeting?"

"Where is the Wubao eunuch? Hurry up and have someone notify Wubao eunuch. If Your Majesty really forgot, have someone notify him immediately."

As the officials gradually lost their patience, the discussions and shouting in the hall became louder.

The military generals in particular were ready to break into the palace to meet the emperor.

Compared with these officials, there are a small number of officials who behave differently.

The prime minister Wei Yu, who was in the lead, stood there motionless as if he was asleep. Even when someone called him from behind, he showed no intention of responding.

Wei Zheng also stood in the hall meticulously, which was no different from his usual court sessions, and he turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside.

There was also Tian Yiheng in the row of civil officials, and Zhang Qing and Hua Rong in the row of military generals. They all seemed to have noticed something and exchanged glances in a very obscure way.

At this time, Wubao slowly walked into the hall carrying the imperial edict.

With the arrival of Wubao, all the civil and military officials in the court fell silent when they saw the imperial edict in his hand. They watched Wubao slowly walk up the stairs and stand in front of the dragon throne.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

I have been feeling very unwell in recent days. In order to better regulate my health, I will stop attending court for a few days or months. During this period, all government affairs will be submitted to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and handled by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister must report to me on government affairs every seven days. I decree this."

When they heard the news of the suspension of court, everyone was shocked and could not believe it was true.

Everyone has seen Tang Tiansheng's condition during this period, and naturally has some guesses about it, but now that the imperial edict to suspend court has come down, some people have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

In the court, the eldest prince, the second prince and others all had different thoughts.

But he remained calm on the surface, and all the civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground, saying: "Your subjects receive the order, long live the emperor."

Tang Chengqian touched the ground with his head expressionlessly, and lay on the ground with his eyes full of ambition.

Chu Mo followed the shadow guard, looking for the unique marks left by the shadow guard, and went straight into the depths of the desert, chasing the footsteps of Chen Gong and others in the Soul-Breaking Desert.

"Click--"

Chu Mo didn't pay attention to his feet and stepped on the dried corpse of a monster.

Chu Mo looked down at the dried corpse that was trampled into several pieces and recognized it as a monster called the Desert Sand Lizard, a small monster commonly seen in deserts. It liked to lurk in the quicksand and catch small insects in the desert for food, and it was extremely fast.

Chu Mo closed the Four Seasons Fan and used it to move a piece of dried corpse, then squatted down and observed it carefully.

Chu Mo thought to himself, "As expected." He saw a faint Buddha light flashing above, which made Chu Mo, who originally thought he had sensed it wrong, even more certain that the remaining aura above came from Yao Guangxiao.

Then, Chu Mo stood up and looked around, but found nothing, which made Chu Mo feel very strange.

Based on his understanding of Yao Guangxiao, he would not kill a monster that posed no threat at all.

Chu Mo looked a little heavy-hearted. At this moment, Chen Ce and Zhang Hao seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Chu Mo. They turned back and looked at Chu Mo in confusion, asking, "My Lord, what happened? Did you find anything?"

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Oh, nothing, I just accidentally stepped on the corpse of a monster and I feel a little uncomfortable."

The two of them glanced at the dried corpse on the ground and said, "Oh, this Soul-Breaking Desert is full of dangers. My lord, you'd better be careful."

Chu Mo nodded and agreed: "Well, it is more important to meet up with Chen Gong and the others. Let's go quickly and try to catch up with them as soon as possible."

The two men had no doubts, nodded, and protected Chu Mo as he continued to move forward.

But they didn't notice the special look in Chu Mo's eyes when he looked at them.

Somewhere in the Soul-Breaking Desert, the surroundings were in a mess, with all kinds of debris, bones, dead branches and wood, corpses of monsters, etc. scattered all over the ground.

“Cough—cough—”

Suddenly, a weak cough was heard, which seemed very abrupt in the silent desert.

“Wow—”

At this time, the quicksand slid down, and a figure stood up staggeringly.

He looked around in confusion, then shook his head painfully, and the scenes before he fell into coma flashed through his mind like a slide show.

Cheng Chen Gong remembered that he and Yao Guangxiao couldn't wait to check the situation in the Soul-Breaking Desert, try to understand more about it, and prepare for the future occupation of the Soul-Breaking Desert.

The two had followed Chu Mo here before. Although they had only passed by quickly, they were well aware of the harshness and horror of the Soul-Breaking Desert.

They were full of confidence as their cultivation had been raised to the third realm. However, soon after entering the Soul-Breaking Desert, they were ambushed and attacked by people from the Divine Punishment Organization, and the shadow guards who accompanied them were also almost all killed.

Even with the combined efforts of himself and Yao Guangxiao, they were no match for the other party. They were forced to flee and were sucked into the desert storm. Yao Guangxiao used up his remaining strength to activate the defensive magic treasure on his body.

Thinking of this, Chen Gong looked around, searching for Yao Guangxiao.
