Tianshan Mountains, Yumen Pass.
The Qingyun Palace shrouded by the green airflow is where the Qingyun Sword Immortal resides.
brush!
A graceful and tall figure appeared outside the gate of Qingyun Palace, and then walked in.
"Old Sect Master." Xia Daoyun said softly.
A figure in green clothes walked out from the green airflow, and the powerful aura it carried was breathtaking.
“Dao Yun, has something big happened? Has the Huanling Sect made any discoveries?” The Qingyun Sword Immortal asked in a deep voice, his eyes like the endless starry sky.
Xia Daoyuan usually doesn't visit easily, so if there is something, just send a message.
Something big must have happened to make her come to my house so cautiously.
During this period of time, their focus has been on the extraterritorial battlefield and the Huanling Sect.
The only things that can be considered big events are those on these two sides.
Needless to say, he is responsible for the matters on the extraterritorial battlefield.
He handed over the affairs of the Huanling Sect to Xia Daoyun to lead.
Since Xia Daoyun came to him so seriously, he thought it must be related to the Huanling Sect.
"It is true that something big has happened, but it has nothing to do with Huanling Sect . There has been no breakthrough progress there for the time being," Xia Daoyun shook his head and replied, "After all, it is Dao Sect. It will not be easy to investigate it in a short time."
"Huh? What is that?" Xie Qingyun frowned, unable to think of what other big thing could have happened.
"Please take a look, old sect leader." Xia Daoyun didn't say much and directly handed over a spiritual letter.
"This is?"
"It's a spiritual message from my disciple Qingshan." She explained.
Xie Qingyun took the spiritual letter and scanned it with his spiritual sense.
The next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Xia Qing is colluding with the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan and wants to massacre Chang'an?" This matter was so horrifying that even a sword immortal could not remain calm.
"Qingshan has always been a steady swordsman," Xia Daoyun said, "Although this matter is shocking, since he has sent me a message, it is likely to be true."
"Something serious has happened, Sect Master. We must stop Prince Qing from doing this crazy thing." She said solemnly.
The Qingyun Sword Immortal had a solemn expression. He pondered for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and tapped lightly in the air. In an instant, dozens of green lights flashed, and one spiritual letter after another was sent out by him.
"It's arranged for now," Xie Qingyun nodded and said solemnly, "I'll go to Chang'an right away."
As the backbone of Yumen Pass, it is generally not easy for him to leave when the demons are constantly active on the battlefield outside the domain.
——If we suddenly leave Yumen Pass and the demons learn of this, they might take advantage of the situation and sneak in.
But Prince Qing is the Martial Emperor, and he wants to massacre Chang'an. In the entire Sword Sect, only he has the ability to stop him, and no matter how many other people go, it will be useless.
Therefore, if he wants to deal with this matter, it will be helpful if he goes there in person.
Xie Qingyun could only make arrangements and ask the monks at Yumen Pass to be on high alert during the time when he was away from Yumen Pass.
"Master, if this is true, we must not let Prince Qing go easily, even if he is the Emperor Wu!" Xia Daoyuan gritted his teeth and said.
"Chang'an is not only the imperial capital of Daxia, but also the symbol of the human race. Xia Qing wants to do such a cruel thing, he will definitely receive the punishment he deserves." Xie Qingyun said coldly, and then his figure disappeared.
Even he, faced with such a major event, did not dare to delay for even a moment.
…
Tianji View.
There were two figures sitting in the elegant and solemn hall, their eyes filled with horror.
"Are you telling the truth?" The head of Shuiyue Temple was so shocked that he turned pale.
Bloody massacre in Chang'an.
Not to mention believing it, he didn't even dare to think about it.
"Chang'an Sword Immortal is heading to Chang'an right now to stop Prince Qing. However, if Prince Qing has really been planning this for so long, I'm afraid Chang'an Sword Immortal may not be able to stop Prince Qing."
Lu Qingshan nodded solemnly, "So, I have already passed this news back to the Sword Sect. But after all, the Sword Sect is separated from Chang'an by two regions, so it will take some time for the news to be passed on and for the sect to react. It seems that the only one who has the strength to intervene in this matter in time is the Tianji Temple."
The Shuiyue Temple Master's face was not looking good, and he said softly: "Only the Venerable Realm cultivators can defeat him."
"The monks of our sect who are at the Venerable Realm... are all over the Tianhe River at this moment."
Why are the people in power in the major Taoist sects only cultivators in the eighth realm?
As a dignified Taoist sect, its top fighter is just a monk who is undergoing tribulation?
Of course it is impossible. If the human race is really so weak, they will be devoured by the demons in the end.
There is only one reason, the top combat forces of all the major Taoist sects are all gathered in the Seven Mountains and One River to guard the borders of the human race and confront the demons.
The same is true for Tianji Temple. The strong men in the sect are all sent to Tianhe City to guard the most important line of defense and lifeline of the human race together with Chu Mushen.
The Tianhe River is located at the border between the human race's sky and the demon race's abyss, and is very far away from Chang'an.
It will also take some time for the message to be passed on and for them to react, which may not be faster than the Sword Sect.
Lu Qingshan frowned slightly.
He understood this principle, but he still held out a glimmer of hope. He wondered if Tianji Temple had any additional means, but now it seemed that there was none.
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat quiet, a figure flashed outside the hall door.
"Master, there is important news." A cold female voice came.
"Come in." The master of Jinghu Temple frowned and responded.
Soon, a nun came in.
The moment she came in, she glanced at Lu Qingshan who was present, and then carefully handed over a spiritual jade that recorded the message with both hands.
"This is an urgent message just sent by the Yunzhou Supervisory Commission, saying that the situation is urgent and must be passed on to the two temple masters immediately." The nun reported respectfully.
The master of Jinghu Temple waved his hand lightly, took the spiritual jade from the nun's hand through the air, and then waved his hand to send the nun away.
Immediately, he used his spiritual sense to probe into it to find out the news.
It was visible to the naked eye that his pupils suddenly shrank at this moment, as if he had seen something horrifying.
The master of Jinghu Temple quickly handed the spiritual jade to the master of Shuiyue Temple beside him.
"An abnormal situation has occurred in Xiazhou. Today, the teleportation arrays in all cities in Xiazhou have become ineffective at the same time." After a moment, the master of Shuiyue Temple put away the spiritual jade and said to Lu Qingshan.
The Master of Jinghu Temple, the Master of Shuiyue Temple and Lu Qingshan all had grim expressions on their faces at this moment.
The first two had such expressions because this news indirectly confirmed the authenticity of the terrible news that Lu Qingshan said, while Lu Qingshan had such expressions because this news showed that Prince Qing had already begun to act!
Sealing off the teleportation arrays in the cities of Xiazhou to buy time for himself should also be one of King Qing's many plans.
"Well, we will split into two groups. You will immediately go to Tianhe to pass this message to the abbot. I will go to Xiazhou to find a way to restart the teleportation array for the cities around Chang'an, and take a look at the situation in Chang'an by the way." The abbot of Shuiyue Temple said in a low voice and responded quickly.
The situation has developed to this point. There is no point in saying any more now. The most urgent task is to stop Prince Qing.
Invisible pressure was upon them in an instant.
"Okay," the Master of Jinghu Temple now understood the seriousness of the matter, "then let's act as soon as possible."
…
Xiazhou is the largest state in Zhongtian Territory and is also the location of Chang'an City.
At this time, in a sect called Tianlin Tower in Xiazhou, a teleportation array was flashing, and then hundreds of figures emerged from it.
The person in the lead was the abbot of Shuiyue Temple.
Most of those who accompanied her were disciples of Tianji Temple, except for one person from an outsider sect, Lu Qingshan.
"This is the teleportation array that our sect has set up in Xiazhou," Shuiyue Temple Master said without hiding anything, introducing it to Lu Qingshan: "Prince Qing can seal the teleportation array in the city of Daxia, but he has no way to seal the teleportation array that we have set up privately."
Lu Qingshan was not surprised either.
The teleportation array was a transportation hub in the previous life. Although building a large-scale interstate teleportation array requires extremely huge resources, it also has great strategic value.
Tianji Temple and the Daxia royal family are the two giants in Zhongtian Realm. How could they possibly entrust the "transportation hub" entirely to Daxia?
He must have secretly built many teleportation arrays in the various states in the Zhongtian Domain.
You should know that even a murderous sect like the Sword Sect, where all the members are sword cultivators, spent a considerable price to invite formation masters to build many teleportation formations in the human realm, both openly and secretly.
"Just to avoid suspicion, although this teleportation array exists in Xiazhou, it is still some distance away from Chang'an City." The master of Shuiyue Temple continued.
"The nearest city to Chang'an is Xianyang City. I will lead people there now to restart the Xianyang City array. This way, after receiving the message and returning to Zhongtian Domain, the master can go directly to Xianyang through the teleportation array, reducing the time spent on the journey."
The human realm is really too vast. Without a teleportation array, even a cultivator in the ninth realm would need to spend a lot of time relying on escape techniques alone, let alone crossing the Zhongtian Realm, just crossing a state.
Restarting Xiazhou's teleportation array is a very necessary thing. It is also the most meaningful thing she can do at the moment as an eighth-level cultivator.
"Let's go!" A spirit boat was sacrificed by the master of Shuiyue Temple.
Everyone boarded the spirit boat, and then under the control of the master of Shuiyue Temple, the spirit boat sped away, turning into an afterimage and quickly shuttling across the sky.
…
Chang'an.
The shadow of the Tianmen behind Xia Qing appeared at this moment and was flashing. Every time it flashed, a terrifying aura flowed out.
Xia Zhao looked at the Tianmen Seal behind Prince Qing with complicated feelings and remained silent.
Prince Qing remained calm and restrained his aura, and the shadow of Tianmen gradually dissipated.
Right now, he is far from being able to open the Heavenly Gate and ascend to the ancestral realm.
At this point, Prince Qing has already put away the Blood Letter Technique.
Because at this time, his goal of massacring Chang'an had been achieved, and there were only a few survivors in the entire city of Chang'an.
As if a gust of wind blew by, the black fog quickly dissipated.
The city of Chang'an quickly returned to its former state.
Just looking at the scenery, it seems that nothing has changed.
But the once vibrant city has become lifeless and gloomy.
In the imperial palace, the golden light shield formed by part of the power of the Killing Lord Formation was still flickering.
For some unknown reason, from the beginning to now, even though he had mastered the power of the Killing Honor Array, Prince Qing had not dismantled the array. Therefore, even when the two of them performed the Blood Word Technique in succession, they were unable to harm the many Great Xia cultivators and Xia Zhao in the palace.
Above the sky, after the fog dissipated, Xuanzun's figure appeared in everyone's sight.
The golden spear of the Slayer pierced through his chest, as if nailing him in the air.
Due to the extraction of his blood essence, Xuan Zun's blue skin has become dull and shriveled, and his life is in danger. His breath is weak, his eyes are dull, and his body is trembling. His condition is extremely bad and he may die at any time.
There wasn't much light in his eyes, he just stared at the phantom of Tianmen that was restrained by Prince Qing, with unwillingness in his eyes.
"I am Xuanzun..."
He is Xuanzun, the leader of the four giant spirits, and has always regarded human cultivators as grass.
But today, in front of King Qing, he was captured without any resistance, and even his blood and essence were drained, becoming the nourishment for others to break through.
Xuanzun was neither willing nor convinced.
King Qing seemed to see Xuanzun's unwillingness, and sneered: "Qingyun Sword Immortal alone can stop three demons from the Bingmo clan. Before this, I, Xia Qing, was already comparable to the Sword Immortal in terms of strength. Now I have the help of the Daozu formation. Let alone you, the so-called strongest demon in the Tianmen domain, I have the confidence to kill all four of you giant spirits at once!"
"You died at my hands, it's not unfair!"
With the strength of the top five humans, combined with Daozu's Great Killing Array, even if Chu Mushen showed up, he could even fight in Chang'an City.
What is a mere Xuanzun?
"Return!" King Qing grinned grimly, stretched out his hand and clenched it in the air. The spear of Lu Zun that pierced Xuan Zun trembled, and finally was pulled out of Xuan Zun's body and flew back to his hand.
The moment the spear of Lu Zun left Xuan Zun's body, it was as if the last straw broke the camel's back. The last bit of light in his eyes disappeared, and then they suddenly closed without a sound.
Xuanzun, passed away!
But it’s not over yet.
There is only one last thing left to do.
Prince Qing had a blank expression on his face. He held the Luzun Spear in his hand and swung it lightly.
The golden shield covering the palace instantly disintegrated and dissipated.
He looked at the Da Xia monks in the palace whose faces changed slightly, and Xia Zhao, who was still sitting on the throne with a graceful temperament, with a bit of a sneer.
"If you want to kill Your Majesty, you have to step over my dead body first!" In the weird atmosphere, a hoarse voice sounded from the crowd.
It is Marquis Pingfeng.
His back was hunched, as if he had lost his soul, and his eyes were bloodshot.
However, in front of Prince Qing, whose power was comparable to that of a god, he was the first to stand up, as he usually disliked Xia Zhao and wished Prince Qing could replace him.
Prince Qing smiled and shook his head. "If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago. I wouldn't have waited until now."
"Xia Zhao, I can spare your life today, and I can also not kill these Great Xia cultivators." Xia Qing continued.
"But..." He paused, then raised his voice and spoke word by word.
"I want you to be my Zen!"
As soon as these words fell, everyone's faces changed. All the Da Xia cultivators lowered their heads and said nothing, but their minds were filled with different thoughts.
There must be people who are indignant and want to kill Prince Qing to avenge his blood debt with blood, but it is not known whether any of them hopes that Xia Zhao will surrender .
After all, when faced with life and death, not everyone can stick to their principles.
Pingfeng Hou secretly clenched his fists, but suppressed the anger in his heart. He said nothing and waited for Xia Zhao's decision.
Xia Zhao leaned against the Great Xia throne and was silent for a moment, his eyes sweeping over the faces and eyes of the many Great Xia cultivators below the platform.
Some people had indignant looks on their faces, some had complicated expressions, and some avoided her gaze and dared not look her in the eye.
Finally, her eyes met with Pingfeng Hou.
Pingfeng Hou did not dodge.
It can be seen that the eyes that used to look at her with dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction were now bloodshot and filled with unwillingness.
So she smiled with relief.
Finally, Xia Zhao stood up from the throne.
She raised her head and looked directly at the arrogant King Qing above the sky. Her cold voice rang out, echoing between heaven and earth.
"Although I am just a woman, I am also the Great Xia Lord."
“I don’t ask to be remembered for generations, but I ask to have a clear conscience.”
"Now that I am in this position, I must live up to the Xia King who passed the throne to me, live up to the human race, and live up to myself."
She chuckled, "You could kill me and take this position from me."
"But I am asking you to voluntarily give way to an executioner like me."
"Xia Qing, don't you think about it..."
"Are you worthy?" the stunning woman asked softly.
