Four Seas Cloud Moon

Lu Xiaotian walked further in. With each step, he could feel the surrounding Yin Qi becoming increasingly dense, as if the entire space was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds. However, as the Yin Qi gradually intensified, the magic knife in Lu Xiaotian's hand became increasingly excited, and the purple aura on the blade became increasingly dense, as if cheering and welcoming the arrival of this Yin Qi.

Lu Xiaotian felt a strange power flowing from the magic knife into his body, making his body become extremely light, as if merging with the surrounding Yin energy. His originally heavy footsteps became lighter, as if an invisible force was pushing him forward.

As the Yin Qi continued to surge in, Lu Xiaotian found himself gradually losing control of his body, completely possessed by the demonic blade. His consciousness began to blur, and a powerful desire and urge surged within him. Yet, within his Dantian, the mysterious Chaos Pearl remained quietly suspended, unaffected by the Yin Qi. Like an impenetrable fortress, it protected Lu Xiaotian's Dantian.

The Chaos Pearl was still automatically refining the Yin Qi that entered his body, transforming it into a pure energy. This energy continuously nourished Lu Xiaotian's body, but he was no longer able to actively control this power.

At this moment, Lu Xiaotian tried to activate the Nine Revolutions of Chaos to resist the demonic blade's control, but he found himself unable to do so. His mind, already eroded by his inner demon, had fallen into a state of chaos. He could only allow the demonic blade to control him, step by step towards the unknown abyss.

After walking for about ten days, they came to an open area. Not only was there no grass growing here, but it was also a very shady place. There were many pine trees growing on the ground. The shapes of the ground pines were strange. The Demon Knife was extremely excited at this time. Lu Xiaotian came to the center of the open area. There was a large spiral downward staircase on the ground, leading to an endless abyss underground.

Lu Xiaotian, knife in hand, walked down the stairs. He didn't know how long he walked, perhaps a long time, perhaps not long. He only felt the surrounding walls were scarlet, as if blood was oozing out at any moment! He reached the center. On the stone wall at the end were four large characters: "Extremely Evil Place!"

Lu Xiaotian's heart moved. How could such a dangerous place appear here?

It is said that the extremely evil land is more difficult to find than the dragon vein, mainly because it is not easy to form.

It usually appears in ancient battlefields. After a large number of corpses killed in battle rot here, a large amount of yin energy will be produced. If the yin energy does not dissipate for a long time, it will breed poisonous gas. Flowers, plants and trees cannot grow, and birds, beasts, or people passing by here will be poisoned to death, becoming nutrients for the earth. Over time, under the nourishment of yin energy, the land will turn red, which is the essence of yin energy, and slowly this extremely evil place is formed.

People cannot be buried in extremely yin places, but they can be buried in extremely evil places. According to legend, a fortune teller discovered an extremely evil place. Soon, the couple gave birth to a baby boy, who was then given away. The couple committed suicide and then buried the baby in the extremely evil place.

Gradually, their son will become a star of misfortune, kill his adoptive parents, become bloodthirsty, provoke war, and eventually become a great king! This is the effect of the extremely evil place!

Unexpectedly, he met him in Yin Yang Mountain. The Demon Knife was even more excited at this time, and the Demon Pupil opened again. The only trace of clarity that Lu Xiaotian had was eroded once again. At this time, Lu Xiaotian was not practicing the Nine Revolutions of Chaos Art, but the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art brought to him by the Demon Knife. At this time, Lu Xiaotian was unscrupulously devouring the extremely evil aura around him, and the Demon Knife was quietly hanging in the air.

Lu Xiaotian absorbed this energy for three months. During this period, dark clouds covered the sky above the extremely evil land, with lightning and thunder, which smashed the pine trees on the open ground to pieces. However, Lu Xiaotian, who was below, was unaware of this.

The five hundred people guarding outside picked up Ji Zeming and Feng Ziying, and stayed at Feng Ziying's insistence. He was seriously injured, but fortunately he was also a good warrior, and the yin energy outside was not very heavy, so he was almost recovered after conditioning!

These people were more or less affected by the Yin energy. To be on the safe side, Ji Zeming also brought 500 people to work in shifts with Feng Ziying, changing posts every half a month. At Feng Ziying's insistence, Ji Zeming went back to protect Princess Yue and Ji Yaohua.

Although Princess Yue is the empress, she is still a young girl who has not experienced much of the world. She has Yue Heng, Ouyang Hui, Xu Haotian for military affairs and Han Bing for literature around her, and she is able to barely suppress the rebellion in the court. The princes and ministers are constantly putting pressure on her every day!

Ji Zeming activated Xiaowu's intelligence network and learned the addresses and movements of some ministers. In the following period of time, people died every night, including enemies and their own people!

Han Bing played a crucial role at this time, demonstrating exceptional competence and skill in handling various matters. Most officials assigned to various prefectures and counties had been assassinated, leading to a period of no one daring to hold official positions. This wasn't because they didn't want to be officials, but rather because they were afraid of losing their lives.

However, the princes and ministers could not move easily. If there were no military suppression, I am afraid that someone would have rebelled by now!

The most threatening of these are the four vassal kings—Yue Peng, Yue Shuai, Yue Xin, and Zhang Guangzheng. The first three inherited the throne through hereditary succession, but Zhang Guangzheng was personally appointed by the Yue Emperor. The Yue Emperor's successful change of dynasty was only possible thanks to Zhang Guangzheng's support. Legend has it that the Zhang family possesses a mysterious heavenly book containing information about the dragon veins of the world. By moving mountains and filling the sea, the Zhang family can alter feng shui, thereby extending the court's fortune and ensuring the dynasty's long-term prosperity!

Some people have wanted to seize the Heavenly Book, but unfortunately, only the Zhang family bloodline can open it!

The vassal kings all wanted to win over the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was devoted to the imperial court. At this time, one of the vassal kings suggested that the rise and fall of the imperial court was the result of the Zhang family's behind-the-scenes manipulation. The three vassal kings were suspicious of each other, which made it difficult for the Zhang family.

The Zhang family is divided into outer and inner branches. The inner branches are the direct relatives of the Zhang family, and the outer branches are the collateral relatives or adopted ones!

Zhang Guangzheng was a humble and upright man! Unfortunately, his lineage only had one heir, a daughter named Zhang Hui. This girl was smart, beautiful, and had a profound understanding of the Heavenly Book!

The three great princes all wanted to marry her to win over the Zhang family, but unfortunately Zhang Hui was too focused and had no desire for power, so she refused many times. The younger generation of the family were all attracted to her and fought for her many times, but she looked down on any of them and was too lazy to pay attention!

In order to ensure the purity of the Zhang family's bloodline, Zhang Guangzheng intends to arrange a marriage between Zhang Hui and her family. In desperation, Zhang Hui decides that at the coming-of-age ceremony, she will marry whoever wins first place and can beat her!
