My Lord God of War, your wife is attracting new lovers

Emperor Xuanyuan was also very worried about the large number of people in the imperial capital who were contaminated by evil spirits. It would be too cruel to kill them all, but there was no use in keeping them alive, and there would be no good results in the end.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the city defense troops who were responsible for the security of the imperial capital to go to the South City to check. Since the South City was full of small households and the flow of people was high, it took a lot of effort to check. However, no one who was contaminated by the evil spirit was found.

In just one month, starting from the imperial capital, a tense mood slowly spread across Qianming, a continent that had been peaceful for nearly a thousand years.

Ever since what happened to the Luo family, people who were contaminated by demonic energy began to appear from time to time in various parts of the Qianming Continent. People collectively called them demons. These people had dark blue faces, stiff bodies, and no longer had normal human consciousness. They would bite anyone they saw, and even eat raw human flesh.

Once these people were infected by the evil spirit, they lost their pain nerves and felt nothing when they were hit. Later, people found that unless their heads were chopped off, they would still jump up and hurt people even when they were crawling.

Moreover, after a period of time, people discovered that the stronger those people were before they became demons, the stronger they became after they became demons. In addition, they had long lost the fear of pain and life and death, making them more dangerous and difficult to deal with.

Emperor Xuanyuan issued an order in the name of the royal family: the demons must be eliminated and Qianming can live a stable life. Even the mercenary guild issued demon-killing missions for this purpose. Anyone who has completed the mercenary procedures and become a member of the guild can take on demon-killing missions in exchange for certain rewards.

The Alchemist Guild welcomed back the long-missing President Du Bowen. He provided all the alchemists in the Guild with potions that could restrain demonic energy. As long as this potion was added during the alchemy process, and anyone bitten by a demon took the potion immediately, there would be no need to worry about being turned into a demon.

Of course, this potion was provided by Luo Qingran, and it was made by adding a little wood spirit breath to the top-grade spiritual spring water. In order to avoid being discovered by the experienced alchemists in the guild, a lot of well water was added to the spiritual spring water.

But these are only temporary solutions, and those powerful demons seem to appear at the same time in every corner of Qianming Continent, catching everyone off guard.

By the time the pills that could remove the demonic energy were circulated in the market, the demons were everywhere, wailing constantly. Ordinary people with little power, people with low strength, and children and women became the first targets of the demons' attacks.

Most of these people are in the back house. The worst result is that the family or even the clan unit suddenly becomes a gathering place for demons, and the demons will continue to spread to the surrounding areas the next day.

Since there are many masters from several major families in the imperial capital and their awareness of prevention is relatively strong, the attacks on the imperial capital by demons have not been very serious. The only city that is prone to problems is South City, which has been closely monitored by the eldest prince Xuanyuan Lei's men.

On this day, the third prince Xuanyuan Yu, who had stayed in Shoushan City for many days, suddenly returned to the imperial capital, accompanied by a beautiful and charming woman. He did not settle the woman in the mansion, but took her directly to the palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Xuanyuan.

When Emperor Xuanyuan heard the guards report that the third prince came to pay his respects with a woman, he felt very unhappy and secretly cursed his son for hanging out with a woman and never doing any serious work.

But since I'm here now, I might as well meet him first and see what my son wants to say.

"Your son comes to see you, father, and pays his respects!" After Xuanyuan Yu brought the woman into the imperial study, he immediately knelt in the hall to pay his respects to Emperor Xuanyuan, and the woman behind him also knelt on the ground.

Emperor Xuanyuan was very unhappy when he saw that the Third Prince had been in Shoushan City for such a long time and his strength had not increased at all, but he brought back such a woman. He did not ask them to stand up, but let them kneel there. Emperor Xuanyuan continued to review the memorials in his hand.

After a long while, Emperor Xuanyuan finally spoke: "I did not issue an imperial decree for you to come back, so why did you come back suddenly? Don't you know that this is disobeying an imperial order?"

"Father, there is no more demonic energy in the Broken Soul Mountains, and the number of demon beasts is decreasing. I miss you so much that I came back secretly."

"There are a lot of demons appearing everywhere now. How was your journey back?" asked Emperor Xuanyuan.

Since Mei Niang said she was afraid to ride a flying beast, Xuanyuan Yu had to take a carriage instead. He and Mei Niang were so close and playful in the carriage that they had no time to care about the situation outside.

Emperor Xuanyuan's question stunned Xuanyuan Yu. Seeing this, Emperor Xuanyuan slammed the memorial in his hand on the desk and said angrily: "Xuanyuan Yu, as a prince, you don't share your father's worries, don't care about the lives of the people, and spend the whole day in the flowers. How can you be so unbecoming? You even brought your woman with you when you came to pay your respects to me. You really disappoint me."

Xuanyuan Yu stopped kneeling at this time. Not only did he stand up, he also helped Mei Niang to surrender. He smiled and said, "Father, although you care about the people all day long, you can't let them live a peaceful life. Why don't you abdicate and hand over the throne to me? I will naturally lead the people of Qianming to live a better life."

When Emperor Xuanyuan saw Xuanyuan Yu's performance, he finally believed that what the eldest prince had told him a few days ago might be true.

A few days ago, Xuanyuan Lei came to the imperial study with a serious face and reported to him everything the Third Prince had done since he came to Shoushan City. He even mentioned that Xuanyuan Yu had just entered Shoushan City and stopped him, forcing him to fight against the group of monsters alone.

At first he didn't believe it and always suspected that Xuanyuan Lei was framing his younger brother. But later Xuanyuan Lei said that with his strength, he would ascend to Tianxuan in no time, and he had no intention of inheriting the throne and hoped that his father would train other princes.

Emperor Xuanyuan was very depressed about this. The higher the strength of those who practiced cultivation, the more difficult it was for them to have offspring. So far, he only had four sons. The eldest son had no interest in the throne, the second son died young, and the third son was too ambitious and had no talent. This left him with a fourth son who was only 7 years old.

Being in his position, the last thing he wants to face is a situation where he has no choice. It seems that he still needs to work hard. In fact, the one he most hopes to inherit his position is the eldest prince Xuanyuan Lei, who is powerful and responsible. He has managed Shoushan City very well over the years, but unfortunately his mind is not here.

"Oh, it seems that the prince has a good way to deal with the demon?" Emperor Xuanyuan calmed down. He knew that Xuanyuan Lei would come to the imperial study soon. This was something they had already discussed, and no one else knew about it.

Besides, he knew that Xuanyuan Lei had already contacted the Alchemist Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and masters from various major families to eliminate the more powerful demons, and they were already able to refine pills that could eliminate the demonic energy in the human body, so he was not very worried about the situation outside at this moment.

Although the lives of the people are threatened to a certain extent, it is only a matter of time to defeat the demon.

Moreover, Qianming Continent has been quiet for too long, so most people have become accustomed to a comfortable life and have long lost their guard. The reason why the appearance of the demon this time developed so quickly is also due to this aspect.

Therefore, Qianming Continent needs some turmoil to inspire the people to pursue the peak of strength. After all, in the past hundred years, the number of people who can ascend has been decreasing.

You must know that the fewer people ascend, the more the ascension channel will be closed, which will eventually make it difficult for people to succeed even if they meet the ascension conditions. This will be very detrimental to the long-term development of the continent. Qianming, a low-level continent, will also be abandoned by the high-level continent.

"Hehehe, as long as my father passes the throne to me, I will naturally tell you my way." Xuanyuan Yu said as he walked towards Emperor Xuanyuan's desk.

"Humph, what good ideas do you have? You are not very strong, and you only care about women. You have never done anything serious, but you want to take my throne. How dare you!"

Seeing his father being so careless, Xuanyuan Yu got angry, "Since father is unwilling to give up the throne to your son, don't blame me for not observing the etiquette between monarch and subject, father and son."

After saying that, he waved to Mei Niang, who had been standing behind him without saying a word, and stepped back.

Mei Niang came up without saying a word and used her spiritual energy to attack Emperor Xuanyuan. When Emperor Xuanyuan saw Mei Niang's attack and realized that what she used was not spiritual energy but demonic energy, he quickly slapped out and slammed the desk towards Mei Niang.

However, Mei Niang just smiled and waved her hand lightly, and pushed the flying desk aside. The sound of the desk hitting other furnishings in the study attracted the guards on duty outside the door, and the guards immediately broke in.
