After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"What, the dead fog has risen again?"

"The entire capital city is surrounded?"

"Is it... is it poisonous?"

The ministers were immediately flustered and asked questions all at once.

The fear of the entire village of Lijiazhuang being wiped out still lingers.

With the deadly fog looming over Li Family Village, the ministers need not worry.

Now, surrounding the entire imperial city is a matter of personal safety.

"Currently, ten miles outside the imperial city, clusters of deathly fog are rising."

The Imperial Guards reported in detail, saying, "The fog is expanding rapidly and will soon merge into one."

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me, is it poisonous or not?"

The fourth prince asked urgently, "Is it like the Li Family Village, where touching it means certain death?"

He witnessed the scene at Lijiazhuang firsthand.

That's a tragedy.

"Yes, touching it will result in death," the Imperial Guard replied, bowing his head.

hiss--

The ministers felt a chill run down their spines.

The death fog has enveloped the imperial city and is spreading rapidly.

Once death energy enters the city, wouldn't it be the end of the world?

Although the Martial Emperor, two princes, and three Grandmasters were stationed in the imperial city.

However, even the princes were not strong enough to deal with the dead fog that enveloped the entire village of Lijiazhuang.

They'll definitely be even more helpless against this massive amount of dead fog.

call out--

The sixth prince's figure flew into the main hall.

Upon receiving the report from the Imperial Guards, he immediately flew out of the capital to investigate.

"How is the Sixth Prince?"

"Sixth brother, how is it?"

……

The princes and ministers asked anxiously.

The Martial Emperor looked over with a grave expression.

"Disaster."

The sixth prince's expression was grave, and he shook his head. "The key is that we can't find where the undead are hiding."

The second prince, who had gone and returned together, also frowned and said:

"He can hide in every grain of death energy, and if he does not show himself, he cannot be found at all."

“Then, Prince Yi is also a Grandmaster, how could he…” The Fourth Prince opened his mouth, but swallowed the rest of his words.

You're all grandmasters, so why can Zhou Yi do it but the two of you can't?

The ministers dared not utter a word, but they thought the same thing in their hearts.

"If only His Highness Prince Yi were here."

One of the ministers sighed.

Yes.

Although the Grandson of the Imperial Household is ruthless in his dealings, he can accomplish anything with ease.

The Empress frowned slightly, looking worried.

If the Sixth Prince can't solve a problem, even if he goes there in person, it will probably still be fruitless.

"Let's see how Prince Yi is doing?" Emperor Wu waved his hand and said.

Ji Yu's communication jade was used to signal the arrival of the Imperial Guards, which was then halted by the Sixth Prince.

Now, everyone can only hope that Zhou Yi can escape the Martial Alliance and return to resolve the troublesome Death Fog.

but.

He stormed Tongtian Peak and killed the Snow Mountain Goddess...

No matter how you look at it, Zhu Anshi would never leave him a way out.

The Sixth Prince waved his hand, and Ji Yu's voice rang out again:

"Zhu Anshi personally took action. Zhu Anshi, he is actually a half-step terrestrial immortal!"

The entire court was silent for a moment, then erupted in incredulous gasps:

"A half-step terrestrial immortal?!"

"Zhu Anshi is actually a half-step terrestrial immortal!"

"Isn't it said that the Celestial Realm is the highest realm?"

……

All eyes turned to the Martial Emperor.

Only the supreme ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty knew a little about the immortals on land.

The Empress's expression darkened, but she did not deny it.

Everyone immediately understood.

Although one cannot cultivate to become a terrestrial immortal in this world, there are ways to get infinitely close to that realm.

Moreover, the Emperor Wu's expression indicated that he was no match for a half-step immortal.

"No wonder Zhu Anshi dares to provoke the imperial court so many times," the Third Prince sighed.

Yes, it turns out the other party had enough confidence.

It was a terrible mistake to send the grandson of the Emperor to his death.

Ji Yu: "His Highness Prince Yi will transform into the Dragon King to confront Zhu Anshi."

"Stop! Play it again!"

The Martial Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he raised his hand urgently, "What did he say he would transform into? Does he mean he would transform into a dragon?"

"I transformed into the Dragon King," the Fourth Prince repeated. "What's wrong?"

The sixth prince and the second prince's pupils shrank sharply, and like the Empress, they both looked incredulous.

“Below the half-immortal realm, one can only transform into a dragon.” The third prince glared at the fourth prince.

Transforming into the Dragon King means that one's realm has surpassed that of a half-immortal.

The Sixth Prince raised his hand and manipulated the flyer jade to replay the previous sentence.

"His Highness Prince Yi has transformed into the Dragon King..."

Transform into the Dragon King!

Dragon King!

The main hall was deathly silent.

Everyone was so shocked that their minds went blank, and they couldn't utter a single word.

Dragon King.

Doesn't that mean that His Highness Prince Yi is also...?

"A half-step terrestrial immortal!"

"Your Highness Prince Yi is a half-step terrestrial immortal!"

"It's saved!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

……

The ministers all fell to their knees in a flurry of prostrations.

Since the time of Emperor Ji Tian, ​​the first emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, three thousand years ago, the highest cultivation level for the royal family has been the Celestial Realm.

Now, he has actually cultivated himself into a half-step terrestrial immortal.

This is the grandson of the emperor sent down by Heaven to stabilize the precarious Great Qian Dynasty.

The sixth prince and the second prince exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with helplessness.

The Celestial Realm is now an insurmountable obstacle for them to catch up to.

A realm halfway to becoming a terrestrial immortal, a sight unseen for three thousand years.

They will probably never reach that level in their lifetime.

……

Blackwood Cliff, a bottomless abyss.

The four pupils dimmed slightly, and a weathered voice said:

"For thousands of years, three guardian deities have jointly protected this continent."

"The area east of Dongshan is protected by this emperor."

"The central continent west of Dongshan and east of Xishan..."

The enormous eyes glanced at Zhou Yi and said, "It is protected by the Great Qian Dynasty, Emperor Ji Tian."

"This... the central region protected by Emperor Ji is more than ten times larger," Si Xuan muttered to himself.

"hehe."

The ancient voice laughed, "Precisely because of its large area, this emperor and another guardian deity have entrusted the Heavenly Dragon Vein to Emperor Ji."

The dragon vein protects the nation's destiny and the country.

That is indeed true.

Zhou Yi said, "Continue."

The weathered voice continued:

"If Emperor Ji were not dead, then all would be well."

"After his death, no one in the Zhou family ever advanced to the Land Immortal Realm."

"Subduing the dragon vein will naturally be even more difficult."

Zhou Yi frowned and asked, "What will happen if the dragon vein cannot be subdued?"

"Naturally, it will backfire, leading to the change of dynasties," the weathered voice said.

"What do these things have to do with my father?"

after all.

Zhou Yi's father was only the crown prince, occasionally overseeing the country; the emperor was still Empress Wu.

Even if there is a backlash, the first person to be affected should be the Martial Emperor.

"The dragon vein is connected to the Zhou family's bloodline."

The weathered voice said, "When the dragon veins are disturbed, the bloodline of the Zhou family must be sacrificed to appease them."

Sacrifice?

The Crown Prince's rebellion case is rife with doubts.

The common people can see that the crown prince has absolutely no intention of rebelling.

How could the Martial Emperor, who was so powerful and ambitious, and who was so capable of strategizing to conquer the world, not see the problem?

Could it be that he really was just going with the flow?

It could even be said that Zhou Yi's visit to the Martial Arts Alliance this time was significant.

To everyone, including the Empress, it was a journey destined to end in death.

However, Empress Wu did not actually make a firm decision to retain him.

Could it be that they're just going along with the flow, sending Zhou Yi to his death?

A faint fluctuation rippled within Zhou Yi's body.

Hu Die's expression was equally grave as she asked:

"Senior, do you mean that the Crown Prince's death was a sacrifice to the dragon vein?"
