Monarch of Evernight: Thirty-Three Showdowns (Part 2)
bsp;Zhang Boqian stood in the sea of clouds, and the source of dawn was as bright as the rising sun.
The green and black mist rolled around Emperor Hao's body. It had become thin, but it was replenished continuously on the ground, and it condensed and formed again after a while. The illusion of the Soaring Snake slowly emerged and spread its wings again. Under the protection of the wings, the country, the country, and the great rivers spread out slowly like ancient scrolls.
In the middle area, a large area of the Force explodes without extinguishing. What's strange is that the shock wave flows entirely on the flat layer, and not a single bit falls downward. It can be seen how powerful the two people are in control.
"It's still a little short of that." Zhang Boqian said slowly, his previous anger no longer visible. The moment he fought against Emperor Hao, he suddenly realized that this was a challenge from the Heavenly King, an unscheduled challenge from the Heavenly King.
In fact, if we just talk about challenges, there have been results. Emperor Hao failed to cross the threshold of the realm of the Heavenly King, but unlike most losers, he had overcome all the barriers. What he lacked was just accumulation.
If the two continue to fight, it will be a stalemate situation in front of them. The entire city is the emperor's home court. Since the founding of the capital, Great Qin has laid down countless back-up forces and perfected it generation after generation. It is equivalent to a king-level land war machine. Unless Zhang Boqian completely destroyed the King's Domain, in that case, the Imperial Capital of Qin would be in ruins.
Even if Zhang Boqian succeeded, he couldn't do it. He had already felt the auras of King Zhiji and King Dingxuan on the ground. They couldn't just sit idly by.
Emperor Hao's expression was very calm at this moment. He had expected that he would not be able to cross the threshold of the Heavenly King. Zhang Boqian's appearance in Tianji Pavilion was unexpected.
He nodded and said calmly: "Thank you, King Zhang, for your advice."
Zhang Boqian said: "In that case, your Majesty will do something as a reward."
Emperor Hao did not pretend not to understand, he just said: "I know that King Zhang and Lin Hou have had a rift for many years, but now that Qingyang is the king of heaven, why bother with Lin Hou?"
Zhang Boqian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then His Majesty's carelessness is to imprison the Imperial Marshal and the Chief of the Cabinet in Tianji Pavilion?"
Emperor Hao's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he didn't answer for a while.
But Zhang Boqian's pressure has been slowly increasing, and a small force storm has been brewing at the core of the cloud.
At this time, Emperor Hao looked deeply at Zhang Boqian and asked: "Otherwise? Let him intervene in this life-and-death battle between me and the King of Immortality?"
The words were said in an extremely abrupt manner, without the slightest modification, revealing the extremely **** reality under the noble royal uniform.
Zhang Boqian was born in a wealthy family and became the heir apparent when he came to the country. It was also a **** past. So after he was stunned for a moment, he quickly realized and almost immediately understood the true situation in the imperial capital. This was different from what he had seen before he came. Think of the situation as completely opposite.
Now it seems that King Zhiji really doesn’t know what’s going on, and it’s unclear whether Habs deliberately misleads, or is doing it by mistake, or whether he himself is one of the masterminds behind the scenes.
It's just that the emperor has been holding back for a long time, and seeing that next year he will be able to firmly enter the realm of the king of heaven, he doesn't know what happened, so he couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly launched an attack.
Now that he has decided to show off his cards, Emperor Hao's next words are shockingly frank, "The Immortal King has been looking for a way to extend his life. He once obtained a demon secret method to absorb blood and gain vitality."
Hearing this, Zhang Boqian raised his eyebrows disapprovingly.
"He should have tried all races, dead and alive, and it didn't matter originally. Probably because the effect was not as expected, he thought it was because the secret method was not implemented to the extreme. And the demon descendant The core of the secret method is the conservation of the origin, that is, the peak position of each bloodline is constant, and the outstanding blood relatives of each generation will divide the power of the origin."
Zhang Boqian sneered, "Nonsense."
The demon race is a race that likes to study the world, and has established all kinds of strange theories. Many of the secret principles are contradictory to each other, and even they themselves are arguing about them. This so-called law of conservation of origin is very famous, but it is a heresy even among the demons, because if this method is followed, the demon emperor can level the holy mountain as long as he devours all the demons.
Hao Emperor raised his hand and threw a force array to Zhang Boqian.
Zhang Boqian quickly scanned the information inside. It should be the most complete version of this land-floating war plan. It looks extremely rigorous. Even the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of each route have at least two or more combinations to choose from. , the only thing that is surprising is that the proportion of members of the imperial family and Zhao clan in the candidate list is higher.
Zhang Boqian muttered, "The plan is not bad, but who decided the personnel? After all, Duke Cheng'en is the late emperor's son-in-law. Do you want his wives to go to the battlefield?"
"I agree with the proposal of the military department."
"I know that Qianye and Song Zining are finally decided in this route, so who is in the middle?"
"No matter who leads the army initially, after the war begins, someone will call on Marquis Lin to take over." In other words, the middle road will be in danger, and only a commander of Lin Xitang's level can reverse the situation.
Having said that, Zhang Boqian still didn’t understand what the floating land counterattack plan that the military department was trying to promote was. He laughed angrily and said: "Where is the east road?"
"Sea secrets are the main thing."
"King Linjiang is more suitable to lead the army than Princess Haimi." Zhang Boqian said matter-of-factly.
"If something unexpected happens to me, King Linjiang is the most suitable regent candidate."
Zhang Boqian suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Hao. Only then did he realize that the problem in the candidate list was not about the Zhao family, but about the Emperor's blood!
Haimi and Gaoyi are the legitimate daughters of the late emperor, King Linjiang is the younger brother of the late emperor, and Zhao Jundu on Floating Land is the grandson of the late emperor. A number of deputies list the names of several princes, including ten who can control the "Human Emperor" The four princes were all prominently present. The so-called alternative is actually no choice. This is not the imperial family cutting down the vassals at all. The reason why the Zhao family was involved in the whole process from the beginning was the emperor's blood!
Thinking again of the demon secret method of the Immortal King, even Zhang Boqian was speechless for a moment. He was silent for a moment and said: "He is crazy."
"A person who is too afraid of death will gradually become crazy." Emperor Hao thought for a while and added, "As for those who are making trouble for him, I don't know whether they are stupid or bad. ”
It turns out that this floating land war was a dead end initiated by the Changsheng King, and the imperial palace coup was a counterattack by the emperor who was forced into a desperate situation. And behind this, we don’t know how much effort the Yongye camp put in, and how many sects and families within the empire got involved.
This is not only another imperial conflict, but also a disaster for the king! It can be compared to the Yeting Incident thirty-five years ago, when Emperor Su sealed the palace for ten days and no news left the Weiyang Palace, burying all the blood and tears underground. And Emperor Hao couldn't openly announce what happened today. If even the king of heaven took the plunge into darkness in order to extend his life, it would simply be a disaster for the collapse of the pillar of faith of the human race.
Yongye must have been sharpening his sword for a long time!
"I encountered a projection of the Spider Queen in the void at the junction of the middle continent."
"My heart will never die in the eternal night, and the conspiracy to subvert has never stopped. This time the movement is so big, it is not surprising that it attracts the attention of the Dark Holy Mountain." Emperor Hao was particularly calm.
In this precarious situation, he quietly seized control of the royal domain of the imperial capital, and even though he knew the situation was still short, he still hurriedly launched the challenge of the king, especially when he said that the choice of regent was almost his last words. It can be seen that in the past few days, in the imperial capital, there have been fierce battles out of sight of everyone. In an instant, it seemed as if the city was full of blood.
It is simply a miracle that the imperial capital can still maintain everything as usual.
Zhang Boqian still found it unbelievable, "Just for this?"
"If there is any other reason, then I have to ask him face to face."
"What exactly is Fulu planning?"
"I don't know, and I don't care." Emperor Hao looked very calm, "I tried my best to make arrangements before the war. But there is no way I can let Marquis Lin go to fight, so what King Zhang is holding is Fu Land battle damage limit ”
Fu Lu is a chess piece that cannot be stopped and is placed on the chessboard. Even if the Empire does not mobilize, Yong Ye will still fight what should be fought. Therefore, no matter who is being plotted openly or who is being plotted secretly, on the emperor's chessboard, they are all chess pieces that have been played, just waiting for the finishing touches.
To put it more bluntly and coldly, Fulu's losses are fixed, and they are all on the finalized list. Anyone on the list will make money if one more person survives. The death in the imperial capital is still immeasurable.
Zhang Boqian frowned and asked, "What happened to Lin Xitang?"
"Drug withdrawal reaction." Emperor Hao said: "Linhou was injured by the Dark Fire. Each attack lasted for at least one day and for two or three days at most. The cold air soaked the body and made it difficult to move the joints. In order to prevent the injury from happening, he He can still move as usual, but he has been suppressed by the medicine of tiger and wolf for many years, and now he has to use extremely strong fire poison to have an effect. Once the medicine is stopped, he will be like this, and he can't even stand up.
Zhang Boqian immediately scolded Gu Tuohai in his heart, frowned and said, "We can't just go on like this."
"The imperial doctors have tried all the best medicines they can find. In fact, the dark original fire is more troublesome when it attacks, and the damage to the body is acceptable. The most dangerous thing in Lin Hou's body now is the precipitation of the remaining fire poison over the years. , It has accumulated to the point where it will break out at any time, and it can only be removed bit by bit. After three or four days, the remaining poison will be eliminated, and Lin Hou will be able to get up and move around normally."
Zhang Boqian said slowly: "The treatment can be done anywhere. Didn't he stay in Tianji Pavilion voluntarily?"
"So let him fight the land war, or participate in this palace coup? Let him deduce the new world, or the return of the Dark Holy Mountain? Lin Hou only has a deadline of sixty years..." Emperor Hao suddenly stopped and closed his eyes to hide all the pain.
"The beginning of the era!" In the flash of lightning, the answers to all the puzzling questions were about to come out, and Zhang Boqian's expression changed drastically. Lin Xitang once believed that the retrograde secret had its roots here. Thinking about it at this time, the general derivation layout cannot match those two words. Only this act of forcibly reversing the lineage of the dark power of Dawn is an act of defiance that touches the origin of the world.
Zhang Boqian’s eyes were full of lightning. Since the days of King Tianwang, he had heard many top secrets of the empire, including Zai Yaozhi. However, due to his temperament, he would not delve into the details, and now he has contacted the person who implemented them. , these four words suddenly became extremely heavy, almost unbearable.
"After the battle of Taoism, the vitality of all the Tianji sects was seriously damaged. 'The Beginning of Zai Yao' is an act that goes against the will of heaven. If it loses the pull of Tianyan, it will fall back if it cannot advance. With the power of one person, Marquis Lin made a miracle The cost of suppressing Xinggui Yaopan like this is to cut off his own destiny and all future, even if there are no external injuries, his life span will only be a few years."
Zhang Boqian finally understood why Lin Xitang has always been stagnant in the realm of "the stars and the moon shine together". Since his lifespan is destined to be only a period of time, what can he do to break through the highest state of Dayan Tianji Jue's "four pillars of fleeting time". And what does the pain caused by the Dark Prime Fire mean? What does it feel like when the soul of life constantly collides with the destiny of heaven on the astrolabe?
