Above the sea of clouds formed by the convergence of four-colored lights, the blazing obsidian sun hung high on the top of the mountain, burning the demon king who was like a giant beast in the wilderness to less than a tenth of its size.

Another monster fell, and the faint demonic face in the white smoke faded, leaving behind a murmur as thin as rain.

In the distance of the sea of clouds, a huge demon king like a mountain rose, wrapped in large and small demon generals and demon soldiers, burning against the blazing white light, slowly approaching like a black tide.

Taking advantage of this gap before the arrival of the Black Tide, hundreds of Heavenly Warriors were busy with their own work. Some repaired weapons and armor, some took care of injuries, and some carried the wounded. I couldn't see their faces, but judging from their footsteps and movements, no one was nervous and flustered, and no one was afraid. But all of them lost their original heights, like lifeless war machines.

"The second dog is dead......

Outside the hall, two bald heads with golden flying fish logos on their shoulder armor were whispering.

"He's the fifth," the wrinkles on his forehead were deeper, and he looked older than the deputy commander of the Miaoling Guard, "It's only the ninth day, and only three have died in the last thirty years." ”

"Here's the reason," the other bald head was Xiao Maomi, his tone was unusually indifferent, "Anle has been happy for too long, and he is not sensitive enough to death, Xingtian shouldn't be like this." ”

"Isn't our tactic a bit ...... Anxious," the deputy hesitated before saying: "With the empress suppressing, we don't have to rush to eliminate the demon king, as long as we resist the attack, and wait until the demon king is almost weakened before counterattacking." ”

"You should know about Xiao Ai's ten-day covenant with the courtiers," Xiao Maomi said, "If we don't repel this wave of demons as soon as possible, Da Ming is afraid that there will be chaos again." ”

The deputy looked at Kuroshio, who was already very close, and did not hide his disagreement. "Lao Xiao, this is our battlefield, and the things outside are not something we should manage and can manage. ”

"The Daming Temple Mausoleum Guard is not our true identity, we have been Xingtian since ancient times. Our mission of living for and fighting for it has not changed, that is, to stick to Changyang Mountain and block the exit of chaos directly into the world. ”

"You should know what those guys lurking in the world are planning," Xiao Maomi's tone was also heavy, "Mo Li shouldn't have been sitting on the seat of the society, she may be able to bring about change." ”

"Beware of the strange demons whispering to you through your thirst for change," the deputy admonished responsibly: "Xingtian should have a strong will that cannot be eroded by the vicissitudes of life, and even if our lives are long enough, do not give birth to the delusion that the world must change in our generation." ”

"Mo Li's becoming an empress is already a change," Xiao Maomi disagreed, "If it weren't for her, the Ming Dynasty would have overturned, and even if there was still a layer of skin left, the situation of mortals would have completely changed." ”

He pointed to the countless monsters that were already approaching the top of the mountain, "A surge like this one must burn at least three thousand a day...... No, five thousand Adepts can barely suppress it. You should know what will happen to the world as a result. At that point, what are we protecting?"

"Isn't it true that we are guarding the mortals themselves?" the deputy retorted: "To live is everything, isn't it right to pay the necessary price for it?"

"Of course not," Xiao Maomi was also serious, "Living is not everything, living as a human being is everything! Without this boundary, how can we measure the price? As long as we can eat, sleep, and breathe, we are called alive, the so-called necessary price, doesn't it even include falling into chaos and becoming a demon?"

He patted his deputy's huge shoulder armor with a muffled bang. "Don't forget, we are mortals too. We are guarding the lives of mortals, not lives that do not matter to anything. ”

"The emperor is responsible for the people of the world and pays the price for the people of the world, and the emperor should have the power to rule the world and contain chaos. Aurora has been like this for tens of thousands of years, although there will be a change of dynasty, most of the time it can always be a little stable. ”

"It's not me who is eager for change, but you, let the emperor sit on the throne of Sheji forever, and let those clan officials control the government, what the consequences should be. ”

"Eventually, those people will take power," the deputy smiled wryly, "and then they will be afraid of the emperor on the throne of Sheji, and will find a way to create even more chaos and keep the emperor sitting all the time." Eventually, they will abolish the Emperor and burn at least 3,000 or even 300,000 mortals every day, and we can't interfere because it's the mortals' own choice. ”

"I know all of this, Old Xiao," the deputy took off the giant sword on his back, "I was just thinking that if it wasn't for Mo Li, things would have changed." Therefore the hearts of mortal people ...... That is, the source of chaos, how to change is tied to the emperor alone, which is also not a good thing. ”

"Indeed," Xiao Maomi also removed the sledgehammer in both hands, "we are not faced with a better choice, but which is less bad." ”

The two of them strode forward to meet the Demon King, who had already lowered his giant claws towards the top of the mountain.

"Huh?"

"Hmm......"

As they moved forward, the two of them saw the subtle changes in the sea of clouds at the same time.

In the past nine days, the black tide led by the demon king has been continuous, and it is no longer wave after wave, but layer after wave. Now, after this black tide, there is no longer a certain amount of haze accumulating in the sea of clouds as before, but only two clouds near and far.

"Old Xiao, your tactics have succeeded, and the empress may be able to step down from the throne before the time limit. ”

"I don't know too much what happened in the mortal world, maybe it has nothing to do with us. ”

Xiao Maomi quickened his pace, "No matter, anyway, let's do our best here." ”

The battle in Changyang Mountain, where the Chaos Seal was located, shook the heavens and the earth, and the chaotic qi emitted by the demon after it was killed penetrated the seal and turned into a wave of black water deep under the ancestral mountain. The waves crashed violently against the embankment, and even in the temple hall of the temple, a faint movement could be felt, making Ai Tosaka, who was pacing back and forth in front of the shrine, even more anxious.

"Miss......"

The shock was even more obvious, and the Fusang girl stood in His Majesty Dan, stopping to stare at the empress like a god, and her tears were misty.

"I'm useless, miss, I should have sat down for you. ”

Ai Tosaka muttered, "The Sword of Taia, the seat of the shrine, why is there such a thing?"

Looking at the throne like the base of the statue, the hatred of the Fuso girl also surged like a tide.

The human heart is chaos, and isn't the threat of chaos demons caused by mortals themselves?

Why do you have to have someone to do it for everyone?

If there is no such thing, the Great Ming will be destroyed, like Bato or the New World, let the mortals be divided into countless countries and countless tribes to fight the chaos by themselves.

Miss and herself originally only came to the mortal world to play, Miss spent a period of time with the man she chose, this is nothing, in the end she will accompany Miss until the end of her life.

But at this time, she and the young lady were separated by the seat of the society, and they thought it would only be two days, three days, five days, and seven days...... Now it seems that it is not even possible to say never.

"What can I do?"

Ai Tosaka's fist-clenched hand trembled slightly, and it was not until an invisible force overflowed her body, brushing the corners of the empress's clothes, causing the alternate Xingtian standing on the left and right to cough, that she suddenly woke up.

The intercom was ticking, and Shangguan Qing was calling her.

"To the Prince......"

Ai Tosaka's jade-white cheeks turned iron-blue, and she snorted angrily, and her figure turned into ripples and disappeared in the hall in an instant.

"It's tonight......"

In the scholar's mansion, Chen Shihong looked at the vague mountain shadows in the north with his hands in the study, and said faintly: "If there is no accident, it will be done tonight." ”

His son Chen Chongmeng was a little uneasy, "I said that we would start it together tomorrow, and Prince Jing would do it without permission, wouldn't it be to ruin our plan?"

"He's in such a hurry, just let him go," Chen Shihong sneered, "It's naïve to let my sister sit on the throne of Sheji forever, he will be the emperor, and then suppress us." Just let him go and bump it tonight and see where he can go without us. ”

The scholar smiled lowly, "Of course, Prince Jing, who is known as a virtuous person, has his power, if he fights hard, maybe he can remove the stone of Fusang Nu, wouldn't it be a good thing for us?"

"It may not be so smooth, right?" Chen Chongmeng was more stable than his father, "The image of exposing You Santong and distorting the Imperial Gate Ceremony has spread widely, and even spread to Wenzhou, Songzhou, it must be that elephant taming is doing ghosts! This matter is not a small variable, why haven't the adults made a move?"

"Don't look at the world so simply. Chen Shihong took a deep breath, "The world is not only chaotic and human, and the relationship between human hearts and chaos is not each other in the mirror. In just a few days, even if those people drained the chaos, it would be impossible for the empress to step down from the throne immediately. ”

"As for the adults, it's up to them to think about how to do it. Chen Shihong turned his head to look at his son, "Don't have any doubts about the adults, remember, even behind your back."

He waved his hand and said, "You are okay with everything else, just stare at some small places, this is not good, you have to learn to look from a high place." Let's go rest first, there are still many things to do tomorrow, and you will have to be busy. ”

Chen Chongmeng said goodbye to his father, and just got off the tall building, a blazing white lightning split down in the night, and it took a long time to hear the rumbling thunder.

"That's ......"

Seeing where the electric light came from, Chen Chongmeng muttered, "Has it started?"

In the Qianming Hall of the Endless Palace, the ceiling of the front hall has already broken a big hole, and the floor is penetrated by the deep marks of the Dao, dividing the hall into two halves.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt, wood and debris, and meat, from a few guards who had fallen to the ground.

In front of the throne, Tosaka Ai held a Fusang long knife in her hand, her eyes were as bright as the sun, and her body was wrapped in a faint wind and thunder, making her figure look vague. And opposite her, dozens of Taoist priests were dressed in gold-patterned Taoist robes on a blue background, holding compass long swords, and their bodies were also surging with terrifying power.

Tosaka loves this side, and the master of ceremonies and supervisors huddles in the corner. On the Taoist priest's side, there was also a person in armor who was surrounded by the palace guards and hid behind.

"According to the imaginary time, the ten-day time limit has arrived!"

The man who was tightly wrapped in armor shouted: "This king takes the seal regent according to the ancestral system, and you, a demon girl from Fusang, dare to stop it, and are you not afraid of death and no place to be buried!?"

The white-haired Taoist priest snorted coldly: "Fusang girl, you also know that you can't destroy the Qianming Palace, why don't you go to the palace with us to compete outside the palace!"
