Chapter 377: A Life That Is About to End
At noon, the Imperial City.
On the square covered with green jade bricks, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens continues, and the next step is to invite the corpse of the Heavenly Wind City Lord, and the mysterious national teacher will personally purify his soul.
In the beautiful name, it is to find the source of the curse and eradicate it. But in fact, as long as the person who is clear about the identity of this national teacher, he knows his true purpose.
This is clearly to find out the root cause of the curse and keep it for yourself!
With such a terrifying power that there is even an unsolvable curse, it is estimated that any evil soul master will have this kind of thought.
At this moment, all the nobles who still had good thoughts in their hearts could only helplessly watch all this happen.
In today's situation, they dare not and have no way to stop it.
Among the officials, the most ugly face is Liu Fanhao, the head of the Liu family.
Now that he has been labeled as a wall grass by the entire circle of Ming aristocracy, he really doesn't know what kind of mood Xu Tianchen should use to face when his "corpse" appears.
In other words, even he felt a little sorry for Xu Tianchen, but in his position, he couldn't think too one-sidedly.
Behind Liu Fanhao, there are hundreds of people in the Liu family, and in the face of great rights and wrongs, the happiness of his daughter is really not worth mentioning.
What's more, Xu Tianchen is already a dead man, does he want to tear his face with the most powerful prince of the Sun and Moon Empire for the sake of a dead man?
If that's the case, there are people next to them who are ready to watch the joke.
So, he could only look indifferent in the crowd now, pretending not to hear the talk about himself around him.
At the same time, in a hall on the outskirts of the square, another protagonist of the day is about to appear.
Outside the hall, Xu Tianran's dead people had already surrounded him, let alone people, but any object with life could not escape their detection.
At this time, there were several people gathered at the entrance of the hall, all of them were dressed in black robes, and the brim of their hats was pressed very low, making it impossible to see their true looks and expressions.
The dead man guarding the door looked at a few people with a dull gaze, and then looked down at the crystal token, the golden unicorn depicted on it was the symbol of Prince Xu Tiantian.
The two guards glanced at each other, returned the tokens, and then took a step back to each other.
They never said much, they only acted on orders, and they only received one order today, to stay here, and when the person with the golden unicorn order arrived, the task would be completed.
There were a total of five people in front of them, and they were sent by Xu Tianran to hand over Xu Tianchen's body, and they commented that their strength was only five rings, which was not high.
Thinking about it, Xu Tianran didn't think that anyone would dare to make ghosts under his nose, not to mention that in the square not far away, there were many royal Titled Douluo and ninth-level soul masters who participated in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
In such a situation, it is estimated that whoever changes will relax their vigilance, but to a different extent.
But everyone's eyes in the square were focused on the ceremony in the center of the square, and no one noticed that after the five handovers entered the room, there was a slight fluctuation in the corner of the door, but it quickly disappeared.
One of the dead men seemed to sense that something was wrong, but upon closer inspection, he found that there was nothing abnormal, so he simply stopped it.
In the room, the five people continued to go deeper, and after four or five more interrogations, they finally came to the destination of this trip.
It was a cubicle of about 20 square meters, and there was no furniture in it, only a coffin about two meters long was placed on the ground in the center.
The coffin is made of crystal, and through the transparent lid, it can be clearly seen that it contains the body of a teenager.
Xu Tianran wore a black and gold robe with a white lion pattern depicted on it, representing the status of the Sun and Moon Empire second only to the emperor and the crown prince.
Not to mention this, the crystal coffin alone is not a simple thing.
When Xu Tianchen was alive, he had to face the danger of being assassinated every moment, but he didn't expect to be really "dead", and he actually got the status and pomp that only a prince can have.
It can be seen that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not stingy, but this is also based on the premise of Xu Tianchen's "death".
If he hadn't died, the story would have been a different story.
Soon, the middle-aged man led by the five people stepped forward slowly, gently caressing the edge of the crystal coffin with his palm, as if looking for something like a switch.
Not to mention him, it seems that among the people in the room, including the two Seven-Ring Soul Saints, none of them dared to look directly into the crystal coffin.
There is no way, because Xu Tianchen is "dead". But those gray-brown eyes were still open.
Being near the source of the curse, they didn't need to be told by others, and they didn't dare to ignore any precautions.
If you can't do it, you will take your own life!
At this moment, a sudden voice sounded in the room, which made everyone stunned: "Brother Tianchen, I have wronged you in the past few days." ”
"Brother Tianchen", isn't it Xu Tianchen?
The five people realized that this was someone beating Xu Tianchen's idea, and they just wanted to raise the alarm, but their consciousness was forever fixed at this moment.
……
In the room, the figure of the young man slowly emerged, the cold light in his eyes constricted slightly, and he looked at the seven people who were completely stunned with pity.
That's right, it was with the help of Huo Yuhao's simulation skills that he successfully infiltrated Yechen here.
At the same time, not far from him, three more figures emerged, and soon walked in front of Yechen.
Yechen checked it after entering the room, and as a special-purpose place, there was no monitoring and detection soul guide, so after dealing with the few people, they didn't need to have any worries.
Looking at the several soldiers who were in a sluggish state, the corners of Yechen's mouth lifted, and a plan emerged in his heart.
If a curse is planted in their bodies, and then detonated when they go out into the crowd, the consequences are unimaginable!
And Xu Tianchen, he must still let them bring him over, Yechen didn't expect to kill Xu Tianran in this way, if Xu Tianchen's body disappears at that time, as long as the other party arouses the slightest suspicion, then this bureau is equivalent to doing it in vain.
It's just that, in this way, Yechen and the others are likely to end their life as exchange students early.
Just imagine, most of the officials in the palace died, coupled with a series of events that happened in Mingdetang, how could he dare to stay here at night?
Of course, the benefits are also huge, at least the Sun and Moon Empire, which has been greatly damaged, will not be able to wage war again in the past few years.
This also allowed Yechen to complete the task ahead of schedule.
As for the other three kingdoms in turn suppressing the Sun and Moon Empire, he didn't even think about it.
The foundation of the entire Sun and Moon Empire is not something that can be shaken by Yechen's small fight, and the real high-end combat power has not suffered any losses.
