Evil Master and Disciple

When the action started in Lingnan, the capital was also in chaos.

Just as the Demon Cult had planned, when Si Tianjian's battle in the imperial city began, the attention of Si Tianjian, Confucianism and others was immediately drawn to it.

No one cared what happened in the observatory.

The melee in the capital started from the Sitianjian located in the southwest corner of the imperial city.

A huge roar resounded throughout the capital.

The demonic monks were cruel and merciless, and acted without mercy.

Although Si Tianjian has a large number of sorcerers, more than a thousand in number, their cultivation, the magic weapons in their hands, and their combat power are far inferior to those of the monks in the sect.

Individual cultivators or sorcerers like Si Tianjian are better at fighting alone. In large-scale battles like this one involving hundreds or thousands of people from both sides, the fighting power displayed by the sect disciples is much stronger than theirs.

Especially the several major sects and the demon sects, they have all experienced long-term fighting and participated in the Immortal Hunting War of that year. These major sects have systematic and complete large-scale fighting tactics.

Even many of the skills and magical powers of the major sects have been improved bit by bit to make them more suitable for multi-person cooperative combat.

They can engage in small-scale group battles in groups of a dozen or so, or they can form a battle formation of thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

They possess the same true methods and magical powers. They only need one person to coordinate them. Their level of tacit understanding is very high, and their combat power will increase exponentially.

This operation was mainly planned by the young evildoers of the Demon Cult.

None of these young people are mediocre. They have made a very detailed and thorough plan.

They not only took into consideration Si Tianjian and Confucianism, they even took into consideration the monks of various righteous sects scattered in the capital.

Some people were responsible for repairing the jade sundial in the observatory, some were responsible for stopping the sorcerers of Si Tian Jian, some were responsible for entanglement of the Si Tian Jian masters and six sub-saints who were attending a banquet in the palace, some were responsible for sneak attacking Jiaotai Hall in the chaos, and some were responsible for stopping the righteous monks in the capital.

The Demon Cult only deployed more than 200 monks near the Sitianjian, but they killed more than 1,000 sorcerers.

It has to be said that this time the cult's actions actually helped Confucianism a lot invisibly.

His Majesty the Emperor has been supporting Si Tianjian to contain Confucianism. After hundreds of years of development, Si Tianjian now has considerable power in the capital and has gradually posed a substantial threat to Confucianism.

The sorcerers that Si Tianjian had trained with great difficulty suffered heavy casualties tonight at the hands of the magic weapons of the demonic monks.

The cultivation methods of the Demonic Cult are different from those of Taoism and Buddhism. Their cultivation methods are more inclined towards the witchcraft system.

When the magic cult's skills are performed, they are usually sinister and evil, and are often accompanied by ghosts, bloody skeletons, etc.

At this moment, above the imperial city in the direction of Si Tianjian, there were hundreds of thousands of skulls, forming a dozen large and small skull formations.

The wind was blowing fiercely and the sound of ghosts crying was everywhere, as if the entire capital was filled with hundreds of thousands of ghosts and dead spirits.

The strange things happening in the imperial city surprised the people in the inner city, and they didn't know what had happened.

Many mortals put on their clothes and walked out of the room.

Soon, people in various districts shouted, "The demons of the demon cult are attacking the imperial city. The immortals are fighting and the mortals are suffering. Everyone, leave the inner city quickly..."

It wasn't just one or two people shouting, but hundreds of people shouting at the same time in various districts of the inner city.

When the people in the inner city heard this, they panicked. The timid ones had already started running with their families to the nearest city gate or to the outer city in the south.

They were afraid that the fights among the immortals would affect weak mortals like them.

These people who were shouting were obviously organized and disciplined, and it was not a spur-of-the-moment act.

Gu Tianshi, who lived not far from the imperial city, did not flee with the people.

Gu Tianshi was a smart man. Although he knew several hours in advance that the Demon Cult would take action against the imperial city tonight, as an official appointed by the court, he absolutely could not escape in advance, otherwise his official career would be over.

He stuffed his fat wife and daughter, the old servant, the maidservant... plus himself, a total of eight or nine people, into the cellar.

He had just reinforced this cellar the day before yesterday, and the entrance and exit were located in an open area. Even if all the houses in the mansion collapsed, they would not bury the entrance and exit of the cellar.

At this moment, the palace and the imperial city were in chaos.

Tonight, His Majesty the Emperor is, as is customary, hosting a banquet in the palace to entertain some high-ranking officials, great scholars, and others who have returned to the capital to report on their work.

It can be said that the three dukes and nine ministers of the court were all in the palace.

Such a big mess has never happened in the imperial city in many years.

The drunken emperor, supported by eunuchs, came to the palace with the officials.

The palace where the banquet was held was called Zichen Palace, and was located near the northeast of the imperial city.

The Sitianjian in the southwest corner of the imperial city where the battle took place can be said to be in two different directions.

Looking at the dozen or so terrifying skeleton formations in the southwest direction, all the civil and military officials and the Emperor changed their expressions.

At this time, several rays of light quickly approached the Zichen Palace.

Monks are not allowed to fly in the capital, let alone in the imperial city.

But now the situation is urgent, who cares about this rule?

The ones flying over were three sorcerers from Si Tian Jian.

Yunxuzi immediately stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

"Master Jianzheng, something bad has happened! Si Tianjian has been attacked by a large number of demonic sect masters! Their cultivation is extremely high, and we have suffered heavy losses!"

"what?"

Upon hearing that a large number of masters from the Demon Cult were besieging Si Tianjian, except for the six sub-saints who were still able to remain calm, His Majesty, Yunxuzi and those important officials in the court all changed their expressions drastically.

The Emperor's drunkenness had completely worn off. He asked in surprise, "A cultivator from the Demonic Cult? Our court has never had any grudges against cultivators from the Demonic Cult. Yunxuzi, did your Si Tianjian offend the Demonic Cult?"

Yunxuzi reacted and bowed slightly to the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, the Sitianjian and the Demon Cult have never had any grudges. This time, the Demon Cult attacked the Sitianjian, and I'm afraid there's another hidden agenda. Your Majesty, please look to the sky. The broken star map has reappeared. It must be that the Demon Cult monks are still plotting to use the sundial crown on the observatory to repair the Jade Sundial."

After Yunxuzi's guidance, His Majesty and everyone discovered that many stars had appeared above the entire capital. Although these stars were hanging in the air, they were obviously not high from the ground and were not real stars in the night sky.

His Majesty was now somewhat annoyed. He said, "These evil cult villains are truly audacious. For a mere jade sundial, they have repeatedly opposed our court. Tonight, they even directly attacked the Imperial City!"

After saying this, the old emperor looked at the six sub-saints and said, "The capital is the most important place in the world and the hub of the imperial court. Now the Demon Cult has repeatedly broken the rules and is an enemy of the imperial court and the royal family. Gentlemen, please take action and do not let the Demon Cult do whatever they want in the capital!"

Dean Qiu said slowly: "Your Majesty, rest assured. We Confucians and the imperial court are one. Tonight, we will make sure these evil cultists never return.

Your Majesty, I'm afraid there will be a great battle in the Imperial City tonight. To avoid affecting innocent people, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please immediately go to Taiye Lake to take shelter temporarily. At the same time, order the Imperial Guards in the Imperial City and the eunuchs and maids in the palace to move to the north city.

After we have dealt with these important figures from the Demon Sect, Your Majesty will return to the palace to take charge of the situation."
