"We must not let him succeed, otherwise, how can we face the hundreds of thousands of people in Chuwang City!"

Chu Kangyuan entered the palace overnight, met his father and told him about this matter.

At this time, Chu Jiangruan had already swallowed the fake pill that Chu Xiaoxiao gave him, and he looked as seriously ill as before.

When he heard the news, he couldn't believe for a moment that the person behind the scenes was Chu Handong. He had loved this son since he was a child, so he agreed to let him do business in the royal city. Even he didn't know how rich this son was.

Chu Handong had no interest in being an official since he was a child. Instead, he was interested in money and benefits. Once, someone asked Chu Handong if he wanted to go to the court to manage the national treasury, but he refused without hesitation and said that he was used to being lazy and would be content with doing some small business.

But he never expected that he had such evil ambitions and wanted to conquer the whole world. Like Chu Kangyuan, he was extremely angry and uncontrollable when he heard this.

Not long after, Wei Zhongjian came over and whispered, "The fifth prince is here."

Chu Jiangruan was extremely angry at this time. "This little bastard actually dared to come here. Bring people to take him down!"

Chu Kangyuan tried to dissuade him. "I heard from my sixth sister that someone under his command had the ability to transform himself into black energy. I'm afraid that with our current capabilities, we won't be able to capture him, and we might even alert the enemy and let him escape."

"Oh? There is such a thing. It seems that we have to be cautious."

After much deliberation, he decided to call him in to see what his purpose was in coming to see him at this time.

After getting the promise, Wei Zhongjian took Chu Handong into King Jing's palace, while Chu Kangyuan hid in a side hall, and Chu Jiangruan lay on the bed with a sick look on his face, as if he was about to die.

"Father, how do you feel?"

Chu Handong greeted his father with concern, but in his heart he just wanted to see how long this old man could hold on, which was also the purpose of his trip.

Seeing Chu Jiangruan lying on the hospital bed, he was secretly delighted. He would die of poisoning in a few days, and it would not be in vain that he had gone to so much trouble to poison him to death.

If he really kills his father with a knife, then his throne will be recorded as regicide. Since ancient times, the throne has required legitimacy. If one does not obtain the throne in a legitimate way, he will be despised by people all over the world.

"I'm fine."

Although Chu Jiangruan spoke with a weak look on his face, he could not hide the coldness in his tone. This made Chu Handong, who was standing beside him, notice something unusual. He felt something was wrong, but he did not show it.

Chu Handong has always been sensitive to these things. This time, his father did not speak to him in the usual tone, but with a hint of anger.

After the two exchanged greetings, Chu Handong left Prince Jing's Palace on the pretext of something and returned to his own palace.

"Where is Wang Song? Find him for me!"

Soon, a man in black ran in from outside the room. "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do so late at night?"

"The devotion plan will begin immediately to revive the venerable in the underground palace."

Chu Handong shouted at Wang Song with an angry face, but he didn't know what had happened and why the king was so angry.

"Your Majesty, if you activate the formation of the statue now to revive the Venerable Shangxie, the Blood Crying Pill will not be able to fully function."

"I can't wait any longer. Father should have noticed something. If we delay any further, something unexpected will happen."

"Yes, I will do it right away."

At night, a meteor streaked across the city of Chu, illuminating the entire city with its bright light, but the people in the city did not see this strange phenomenon. As the meteor went away, the already dark city of Chu fell into darkness again, without any light. Suddenly, there was a tremor, and a huge black cloud covered the sky and the earth. In the palace of the King of Chu, a huge statue grew out of the ground, waking up the people who were still sleeping. The people in the city did not know what had happened.

The people in the palace were also awakened by the vibration and went out of their houses to see what had happened. However, they did not see what was happening. A huge and terrifying statue stood in the center of the palace, like a god descending to the earth, looking down at the people on the ground. Its pair of black eyes glared at everything, as if it wanted to destroy it all.

“This is what happened!”

Voices of disbelief and fear were heard from every corner of the palace.

People couldn't believe that this giant creature came here inexplicably, bringing with it a hint of destruction, devouring the crowd below. But as more and more people saw this giant statue, fear gradually spread, spreading quickly like a plague through the crowd, reaching their hearts.

Yun Chang'an and Chu Xiaoxiao noticed the change as soon as the vibration occurred and rushed to the palace. After seeing the statue, they recognized it at a glance. It was the statue they saw when they killed the three evil ghosts in the basement of Hanqing Palace.

"This Chu Handong is so crazy that he wants everyone in the entire royal city to come and pay tribute."

Yun Chang'an couldn't stop his anger and shouted to the sky.

Chu Xiaoxiao was also furious. She was afraid that no one in the royal city knew what they were going to face next. Only the two of them knew what this thing was used for.

"He must be stopped."

Only the people in this royal city can stop it. Mortals cannot stop this man-eating creature.

"Young man Yun, what happened to you? Why do you have an evil aura?"

At this time, a voice came from her mind, and Hua Shichen woke up again. She smelled a hint of evil in the outside world. This breath made her feel disgusted, and it was very strong.

"Sister Shichen, have you seen this thing?"

From her mouth, I learned that she had seen this kind of evil spirit before. Once this evil spirit enters the body, death is the best destination. For practitioners, once this evil spirit invades the body, it is very difficult to get rid of it. It will have a serious impact on one's own practice, and may even cause the practice to reverse and fall back into the mortal realm.

At this time, Yun Changan took out the Blood Crying Pills and put them into the Siyang Gourd Lamp. Seeing the pills, Hua Shichen felt something was not good and asked where these evil pills came from.

Because when Hua Shichen got the elixir, he was still sleeping soundly in the Nether Tree and had no idea what was happening to him. But when he saw the elixir, he recognized it at a glance. It was of the same origin as the evil aura of the sculpture in front of him.

"Boy Yun, this matter is a bit troublesome. Once he wakes up, I'm afraid the entire Chuwang City will be doomed."

Hearing this, Yun Chang'an didn't know what to do for a moment, so he asked her if she had any solution, but got no response.

As time went by, his inner uneasiness became stronger. Soon Hua Shichen said, "I have a sealing talisman here that can seal it, but it will cost a lot of energy to operate this talisman."

Immediately afterwards, before he could react, a formation entered his mind.

Yun Chang'an closed his eyes and stared, only to see that the sealing talisman was so mysterious that he could not understand it at all. It was much more mysterious and complicated than the formation that Hua Shichen had used before.
