Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-Seven Ladders to Heaven

bsp;In the following days, the situation in Yongye Continent changed.

The short-lived peace of "Sleep of the Behemoth" was completely broken. The Eternal Night Council first issued a mobilization order, and the dark army spread to the surrounding areas and began to drive away the human race. Of course, the empire would not just give up, and responded quickly, mobilizing nearby troops and launching several battles with the dark alliance. Each had its own victory or defeat, and the battle gradually turned into a stalemate.

The strong men on both sides are constantly fighting in a vast area of ​​thousands of kilometers, either to drive away the other party or to contain it. On one side, each side continuously sends small groups of elite troops to secretly enter the "Sleep of Behemoths", and at the same time, they also want to intercept the other side's team.

The Sky Ghost obviously refused to give up on the last few ancient essence fragments, and came back during the war between the two sides. The Iron Curtain covered the vast area centered on the "Sleep of the Behemoth", and at the same time continued to release clones, constantly attacking both sides. The strong ones attacked, and eventually the situation turned into a three-way melee.

At this moment, a big event happened in the Evernight Parliament. The prophecy derivation they vigorously promoted suffered a major setback. It turned out that the energy under the "Behemoth's Sleep" that would blow away the force of the strong was not a wind tunnel at all, but the residual will of the chaos of the void beast!

Not only is the essence of that gigantic being that fell hundreds of millions of years ago immortal, but even its will is eternal. Yongye's masters who are good at deduction have suffered a lot from the will of the void beast. Master Weber was severely injured and needed ten years to recover. Nearly half of the powerful people suffered direct backlash and died, and the rest were all seriously injured.

Yongye's prophecy power suffered a heavy blow and was overtaken by the empire in one fell swoop. This is no small matter. It means that when there is a comprehensive operation in the future, the dark camp's actions to deduce the general trend will be more easily interfered by the empire. And when they interfere with similar operations of the empire, they have to pay more.

But the Eternal Night Council paid such a price and gained nothing.

They got two important pieces of information. One was that the "Rainbow Turbulence" covering the "Sleep of the Behemoth" indeed had another source. There was a void passage in the unknown depths of the Stone Forest Canyon. The world behind the passage Although dangerous, it is not necessarily fatal. The second is the influence of the will of the void beast on the strong. As expected, it is still the principle of the wind tunnel, which will suppress the force of the strong according to the standard level. This means that the higher the level, the greater the risk of the strong falling, and the level is too high. The weak ones will be completely devoured by the will of the beast.

For a time, the Evernight Council was in a dilemma. Although the ancient essence is a good thing, it is only a duke-level resource. The world after the passage is even more dangerous. If too many high-level powerful people die because of this, you need to carefully calculate the gains and losses.

This calculation result quickly spread throughout the high-level officials of Yongye World, and the empire naturally knew about it. In the Yongye camp, there are many people who are willing to trade with the empire.

At the same time, countless pairs of eyes on Yongye's side are also watching the movements on the empire's side. Now some people have begun to suspect that Lin Xitang's secret return to the empire is a scam, just to make Yongye lose his prophetic power.

However, immediately afterwards, many unusual clues occurred in the Qin Emperor's capital. One hundred and eight Tianyanshi arrived in the imperial capital one after another and all entered the Tianji Pavilion, never to be seen again since then. Subsequently, all kinds of rare birds and beasts, and the death row fighters of the dark race recruited from various places were also continuously sent to Tianji Pavilion, and they were all unable to get in or out.

The Tianji Pavilion located in the back hill of the imperial capital is like a giant beast with its **** mouth open, devouring flesh and blood without stopping.

On the seventh day like this, the door of Tianji Pavilion opened, and Lin Xitang, dressed in plain clothes, walked out of the pavilion, holding a jade slip in his hand, and handed it to a chamberlain who had been standing outside the pavilion for seven days and nights.

The chamberlain was already a bit old, his eyelids were droopy, and he seemed to be about to fall asleep at any moment. But when he saw Lin Xitang, his eyes flashed, and the entire Tianji Pavilion seemed to light up.

Seeing Lin Xitang hand over the square jade slip, the old chamberlain dusted off the dust on his body, stretched out a pair of hands covered with age spots, carefully took it, held it in the palm of his hand, and asked: "How to deal with it?"

At this moment, Lin Xitang was completely out of the world. Even his voice was a little vague and uncertain, as if it was floating down from the clouds: "Fortunately, I will not disgrace my order. Just present it directly to Your Majesty."

The chamberlain said: "I understand, Commander, don't worry, you can go and rest first."

Lin Xitang added: "I'm afraid there may be some dangers on this trip. Zhao Changshi should be careful."

Chief Zhao Chang said calmly: "Shuai Lin, don't worry, this old slave of the imperial capital has been walking for decades and he still won't hurt his feet."

Lin Xitang nodded and walked down the long steps. The wind blew his silver hair, and in people's eyes, there was a sense of emptiness, as if he would fly away in the next moment. Outside Tianji Pavilion, a full quarter of the Guards's Thunder Cavalry Guards were in full formation, waiting to protect him as he went away.

After Zhao Chang waited for Lin Xitang to leave, he also walked down the long steps and got into a black car. Another group of imperial palace guards opened the way and went all the way away.

The convoy entered the inner city avenue of the imperial capital, turned two corners, and drove into a slightly narrow road. Attendant Zhao Chang was sitting in the back seat, still holding the square jade slip in both hands, his eyes lowered.

As soon as the motorcade entered the road, Zhao Changshi's ears suddenly twitched, he slowly raised his head, and his eyes slowly opened.

On the leading off-road vehicle, the captain of the guard suddenly changed his expression, pulled out his gun, and shouted: "No! It's too quiet here! Sound the alarm, speed up, and rush over!"

Before he finished speaking, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and there was a **** hole between his eyebrows. The bullet not only passed through his head, but also entered the throat of a guard in the back seat, which shows that the other person must be a sniper master. The driver was frightened and turned the steering wheel suddenly, and the off-road vehicle immediately came over.

Another bullet flew, penetrating the armored steel plate of the off-road vehicle, and then piercing the driver's head.

The ear-piercing siren sounded, and the palace guards in the car got out of the car one after another. Using the cover of the car body, they fired wildly at the men in black emerging from the roofs on both sides of the road. These internal guards are all elites, but among the sneak attackers there are obviously more masters, and the several sniper rifles are even more terrifying. They almost kill the commander-level officers among the guards one by one with one shot.

At this moment, Zhao Changshi lowered the window glass. The car he was riding in had top-notch protection, and its glass could withstand level five gun blasts. Lowering the window at this time is undoubtedly an act of suicide.

Sure enough, just when the glass lowered halfway, revealing the center of Zhao Changshi's eyebrows, a sniper bullet roared towards him.

Zhao Changshi raised his hand, his movement seemed to be very slow, but his two dry fingers pinched in the air, and actually caught the incoming sniper bullet in front of his eyebrows!

This sniper bullet is very different from the usual ones. The warhead is as long as a palm, very slender, but heavy enough, just like a crossbow arrow. It has extremely strong penetrating power, and the armored steel plate of the off-road vehicle in front is like paper in front of it, and the bullets penetrate it.

Zhao Chang rubbed his hand, and the warhead was crumpled into a ball like hot milk and fell to the ground outside the car.

The men in black looked at each other, and a tyrannical aura suddenly appeared on the bodies of more than ten people. They were all strong men with at least an intermediate title. They rushed towards Zhao Changshi's car one after another. The other men in black all followed the same death strategy. They did not cover themselves and fired desperately to suppress the counterattack of the inner guards.

Zhao Changshi opened the car door calmly, flicked his sleeves, and got out of the car. He held the square jade slip with one hand, pulled out a jade-handled short knife from his waist with the other, and faced the charging man in black.

In the midst of the crowd's siege, Zhao Changshi's footsteps were broken, suddenly stepping forward and suddenly retreating, moving only within a few inches. Every time the light of the short sword in his hand flashed, a splash of blood would inevitably be splashed. Even the leading Earl-level expert only received three more blows before falling at the feet of Zhao Changshi.

Still holding the square jade slip firmly in his hand, Zhao Changshi sneered and said: "A group of black-blooded brats dare to run wild in the imperial capital!"

By killing the leader, the rest of the people would not be in danger and were quickly killed by the inner guards and the city defense troops who came over. A preliminary identity check revealed that this group of assassins included both dark races and rebels. This was almost the standard composition of countless assassinations that had occurred in the imperial capital in the past.

Regarding this result, Zhao Changshi just sneered. If Lin Xitang had not warned him in advance, he would not have believed that there would be such a bold and stupid person to launch a killing spree in the imperial capital in order to seize the secret. He immediately entered the imperial palace and went straight to Qiantian Palace.

Qiantian Hall is where His Majesty handles government affairs outside of court meetings. At this moment, the high platform of the main hall was filled with water mist, which was green and almost black. It completely covered the high platform, the desk and the throne. Everything was blurry and could not be seen clearly.

There was a man sitting on the throne, but his features were also foggy.

Zhao Changshi walked quickly to the high platform, raised the square jade slip with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, here is what Commander Lin paid."

The man on the high platform did not make any movement. The blue-black mist seemed to be spiritual, separated into several strands, circled around, condensed into the shape of a hand, and took away the square jade slip.

The man did not start watching first, but only asked: "How is Lin Qing?"

"Everything is fine, Commander Lin. He has gone back to rest first." Zhao Changshi bowed and replied: "It is true that the old slave encountered a little disturbance on his way back to the palace." He explained the situation of the battle in a few words without adding a word. 's comments.

After hearing this, the man just said calmly: "Send an order to the Guards to kill all the residents on that street. There is no need to interrogate them."

Zhao Changshi thought for a while and said: "When the old slave passed by, he vaguely saw a house with the family emblem of Fenyang Marquis." Of course Fenyang Marquis did not live in that neighborhood, it might be a branch of the family. Or a commoner's family.

The man said nothing.

Zhao Changshi already understood what he meant, bowed down again, and said to himself: "At that time, no one from the residents on the street came out to help us. The old slave understood, and will pass on His Majesty's order."

At that time, powerful force guns were used in the battle. If no one on that street provided convenience to the dark races and rebels, it would be impossible to achieve such a silent ambush.

Nearly a thousand people may have been massacred in that street, but the lack of trial means that the scope of the investigation will not be expanded. The empire's criminal laws are strict, but there is no rule of thumb. Whoever is responsible for the crime will be held responsible. Even if Fenyang Hou's branch is innocent in this matter, I'm afraid they won't come forward.

Seeing that the emperor had no other instructions, Zhao Chang withdrew quietly.

The man on the high platform slowly opened the jade slip, and eight large characters slowly appeared on the smooth and simple jade surface: The land of seven provinces, the ladder to the sky.

As the supreme leader of the Qin Empire, his hands trembled when he saw these eight words.
