Chapter 1189: Civil Strife
The Heavenly Demon Imperial City, the wind and clouds, the news of the complete defeat of the five major battlefields came, and the people of the entire Imperial City were panicked, and everyone was in danger.
There has never been a big crisis, the Heavenly Demon Imperial Family, which has ruled hundreds of races since ancient times, is now difficult to protect itself, several princes and commanders, suffered heavy casualties, and were defeated again and again.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, except for the five royal families, all parties in the primordial demon realm, there were big clans and even royal clans to join the battle of demon punishment, and join forces with the five royal families to resist the rule of the heavenly demon royal family.
Heavenly Demon Ancestral Land, the fourth prince, who was seriously injured, returned and went into retreat directly and healed his injuries with all his might.
The southeast battlefield lost its commander, and the Shi Clan's army drove straight in, and the situation became even more dangerous.
In the east, in the tent of the Heavenly Demon Army, the third prince Xuan Lie received the battle report from the southeast battlefield, and his face showed a look of shock.
Xuanqi is seriously injured, how is it possible?
The strength of the fourth child, he knows better than anyone else, unless the emperor is strong and personally attacked, otherwise, there is almost no one to beat.
The southeast battlefield has always been his most reassuring side, but he never thought that now even the fourth child has been lost.
"What is the identity of the person who made the shot, have you found it?" Xuan Lie looked at the spy in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"Prince Hui, according to the information left by Prince Xuanqi, the person who shot was a mysterious swordsman, dressed in silver, holding an ancient sword, wearing black and white black sand, and his strength was amazing, and he had never seen it before. The spy replied respectfully.
When Xuan Lie heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, the swordsman, the fourth child was actually injured in the hands of a swordsman.
When did such a powerful kendo powerhouse exist in the Primordial Demon Realm?
Xuan Lie looked back, looking in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Emperor City, his eyes narrowed slightly.
If you talk about swordsmen, the disciple of Jiuyou is indeed a rare kendo master in the world, but this son's cultivation time is still short, and he should not be able to threaten the fourth child.
The Three Imperial Cities were covered with clouds, and the sound of muffled thunder echoed in the clouds, making the atmosphere of the Imperial City even deeper.
In the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, Ning Chen stood in front of the hall, looking at the wind and clouds outside the hall with his eyes, his expression calm and peaceful.
On the battlefield of the five sides, such as today's Demon Emperor Clan's successive defeats, the conventional combat power has fallen into full disadvantage, and in the most critical Imperial Road combat power, the Kunyi Demon Emperor is trapped at the end of the extreme east, and the Eight Desolation Demon Emperors are seriously injured, only one Seven Yao Demon Emperor and one Nine Demon Emperor who do not care about the world are sitting in the Primordial Demon Domain, and the Heavenly Demon Imperial Clan is also not dominant.
He wanted to see what hole cards the Heavenly Demon Imperial Family had to deal with the current situation next.
Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, when the hole cards of the Heavenly Demon Imperial Family are exhausted, it will be the day when this behemoth will be destroyed.
In the backyard wing of the Prince's Mansion, Gu Shengtian, dressed in silver and white court clothes, sat quietly and breathed and healed his wounds with all his might.
Time passed day by day, on the battlefields of all sides, the armies of the five royal families drove straight in, and the flood of iron flowed offensively, and the Heavenly Demon Clan was defeated.
In a few days, strange strong men appeared in the five royal armies one after another, the battlefield of the five sides was defeated, and the defeat of the Heavenly Demon Clan was fully revealed, many of the big clans in the hundred clans secretly sent strong people to help and jointly crusade against the Heavenly Demon Clan.
Heavenly Demon Ancestral Land, the demonic energy was surging, and the Seven Yao Demon Emperors stood in the air, and their demonic power was as heavy as Wan Yue.
"Can't wait any longer, it's time to send the Forbidden Army out. ”
Not far away, the Eight Desolation Demon Emperor, who was healing, opened his eyes and spoke.
The Seven Yao Demon Emperor was silent, and after a long time, he nodded, "That's all." ”
The Heavenly Demon Forbidden Army is the most important guard force of the Three Imperial Cities, and when the forbidden army goes out, the guards of the Imperial City will be weakened by half, if it is not a last resort, it is really not a wise choice to dispatch the forbidden army.
"Asura is trapped and it is difficult to get out for a while, so he can let Xuanmo go to the Western Battlefield and temporarily take the position of commander to block the attack of the Western Sacred Domain. The Eight Desolation Demon Emperor suggested.
The Seven Yao Demon Emperor nodded lightly and said, "Xuan Mo went on an expedition, even if he couldn't stop the attack of the Western Sacred Domain, he could delay it for a while, but if Xuan Mo went to the West, who would he send to the Southeast Battlefield?"
"Xuanqing!"
The Eight Desolation Demon Emperor's face showed a cold color, and said, "With such combat power as the Four Entrances, it would be a waste not to use it, rather than keeping these people to make trouble in the Imperial City, it is better to send them to the front line to contribute to our imperial family." ”
Hearing this, the Qiyao Demon Emperor frowned slightly, but he did not say anything against it, in the current situation, it is reasonable to send Xuanqing to go on the expedition, even his supporters can't say anything, it's just that if Xuanqing really succeeds in blocking the attack of the Shi clan and making great contributions, then in the future battle for imperial power, Xuanqing will undoubtedly have a great advantage.
The Eight Desolation Demon Emperor saw that the former was worried, and said, "The battle for unification can't be taken care of for the time being, and solving the current crisis first is the first thing." ”
Qiyao Demon Emperor's jaw, this is also the best way now, Xuan Zhen is seriously injured, he can only stay in the imperial city to recuperate, the disciple of Jiuyou, whether it is his own cultivation or the forces around him, is too weak to support a war, only Xuanqing is the best candidate.
"Herald!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Xuan Mo, the commander of the Xuan Forbidden Army, and Xuanqing, the third prince, went to the palace to meet him. ”
"Yes!"
The Three Imperial Cities, the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, secret reports came one after another, from all sides of the battlefield and the major key forces in the Imperial City, the number was huge, and it was dizzying on the display table.
Ning Chen patiently read a sealed report, and his thoughts turned quickly, weighing every next move.
"Report!"
At this moment, outside the hall, a black-clothed figure appeared out of thin air, and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, the Great Commander of Xuanmo and the Third Prince have been edicted, and they have just left for the Three Emperors Palace. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Ning Chen put down the secret report in his hand and said, "Got it, step down." ”
"Yes!"
The black-clothed figure received the order, and his body was blurred and disappeared.
Ning Chen got up, came to the front of the hall, looked at the direction of the Three Emperors City, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
It's time!
The purpose of the two Demon Emperors in summoning Xuanqing and Xuanmo was obvious, the existing combat power of the Heavenly Demon Imperial Clan was not enough, and the power of the forbidden army and the third prince needed to be used.
The third prince aside, using the forbidden army is definitely a big risky move, the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Army is the most powerful army of the Heavenly Demon Imperial Clan and even the entire Primordial Demon Realm, but once the forbidden army leaves, the guard strength of the Three Imperial City will be greatly reduced, and the pros and cons can be seen at a glance.
The two Demon Emperors used the forbidden army, which only showed that the strength of the Heavenly Demon Emperor Clan was far from enough on the surface, and they had to make this risky move.
This is good news for him, he has been planning for so long, and it is finally time to reap the fruits.
As for Xuanqing, this is the opponent he left behind for Xuanque, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
"Yin Ji," Ning Chen said.
"Your Highness!"
In front of the hall, a beautiful figure appeared silently, and cracks appeared on the pale face, with a little weirdness in the delicateness.
"Prepare, your chance has come. Ning Chen said calmly.
When Yin Ji heard this, she saluted respectfully and said, "Yes!"
As the words fell, Yin Ji's figure dissipated and left the prince's mansion.
Two days later, in front of the Three Imperial Cities, the flag waved, and the 200,000 Heavenly Demon Forbidden Army marched out, heading to the battlefields of all sides.
When the forbidden army left the city, the defense of the entire Three Imperial Cities suddenly became empty, and Xuanque, the Nine Emperor Prince in charge of the criminal law, was ordered to temporarily take over the guards of the Imperial City, and became extremely busy for a while.
In the first dark night, the imperial city was still as calm as ever, nothing happened, in the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, Xuan Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief, now the burden on his shoulders is not light, once something happens to the imperial city, the responsibility will definitely fall on him.
"Pay attention to precautions, and if there is a suspicious person, arrest it immediately. Xuan Que ordered several generals with a solemn expression.
"Yes!"
The demons took the command and turned to leave.
In the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, Ning Chen stood quietly in the mansion without any movement.
In the rear, Yin Ji stood there silently, waiting for the former's order at any time.
The sun rises and sets, time passes day after day, and the Three Emperors City is always calm and abnormal, and nothing major happens.
The silence before the storm came, it was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe, the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, Xuanque's expression became more and more dignified day by day, the imperial city, it was too quiet, and the silence was a little scary.
On the fifth day, the night came, the clouds covered the moon, the weather was gloomy, the people in the imperial city rested early, and the whole imperial city soon quieted down.
Suddenly, in the east of the imperial city, a fire ignited, and then, the sound of fighting resounded through the night, attracting everyone's attention.
Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, Xuan Que heard the secret report, his expression sank, and finally came.
The Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, the secret report came, Yin Ji heard it, her expression flashed with a different color, and she was puzzled, "Your Highness, it's not our person." ”
"Hmm"
Ning Chen nodded, there was not much surprise on his face, the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Army left, the defense of the Three Emperors City was greatly reduced, and many hidden unsettling factors would definitely break out one after another, and this was just the beginning.
In the east of the imperial city, the fire spread, burning down several mansions, and in several other directions, the conspirators who had been hidden for a long time saw this, and they also took action, with different purposes, and took advantage of the situation.
It didn't take long for all parties to move, and the entire imperial city began to be in turmoil.
"Yin Ji, you go and help them too. ”
In the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, Ning Chen looked at the woman behind him and said, "You don't need to make a big move, just fan the wind and light the fire." ”
"Yes!"
Yin Ji received the order and left in an instant.
In the dark night, the whole imperial city was in turmoil, and in the east, when the morning light fell, the turmoil stopped, and all parties in the imperial city were full of chaos and shocking.
In the Three Emperors City, Xuanque, who had been busy all night, ran around and hardly had a moment to rest.
In the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion, Ning Chen still did not leave the mansion, quietly watching the turmoil in the imperial city.
At dawn, Yin Ji returned and reported the situation of all parties in the imperial city, no matter how big or small, and did not miss any details that she knew.
Ning Chen listened quietly, did not express his opinion, and did not arrange the next step, all the orders were only one word, wait!
Although Yin Ji was puzzled in her heart, she didn't ask too much, since the ghost clan chose to be loyal to the thirteenth prince in front of her, she could only trust this highness.
Soon after dawn, in front of the Prince's Mansion, Xuanque appeared with troops and surrounded the Prince's Mansion.
Xuan Que walked in, looked at the plain-clothed young man in the mansion, and said calmly, "Thirteenth brother, please cooperate with the routine search." ”
"Brother Nine Emperors, please. Ning Chen smiled.
Xuan Que nodded, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and ordered, "Search!"
