"Everything in this world is like this, whoever has the most power is strong, and whoever says the right way is right. Compared with the monarch in front of them, the people of Changyue Kingdom obviously rely more on Ziqingke, the national teacher, for them, it doesn't matter who holds the power of the country, who can let them live a stable life is what they care about most.

"This Ziqingke has spent nearly a hundred years to achieve his irreplaceable position in the Changyue Kingdom, and has won the surrender of the vast majority of people with violent means against a small number of people in secret, which is probably what he wants. If he really has the ability to overcome the Eight Heat Volcanoes, I am afraid that all the countries around Changyue Country will fall into his hands. Cang Wunian said solemnly and calmly.

Just as Cang Wunian's words fell, the fifth "Heavenly Saintess" had already fallen into the river from the height of the altar.

Xiao Ce's face was already extremely difficult to see, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Come on, take down this chaotic minister and thief for the widow!"

As Xiao Ce's words fell, Hua Chengcheng and the others heard a sudden commotion in the woods behind them, and the hurried but not messy footsteps quickly passed by them and rushed to the altar.

At the same time, a rain of "whooshing" arrows swept over their heads, and the direction was also straight towards Ziqingke.

"Fortunately, we came here in hiding, it turns out that Xiao Ce has already set up an ambush here. An Ruyue patted her chest and said with palpitations.

"These are just ordinary forbidden troops, how about Nana Ziqingke?"

As he spoke, he saw that black mist was surging around Ziqingke, and the dark robe was constantly rolling in the wind, and he condensed mana with both hands to face the chaotic arrows that were coming quickly, and the fragmented arrows seemed to be shot on the iron plate, and they fell to the ground with clanging pieces.

The footsteps that passed by them quickly before were soldiers with spears and shields, and when they ran quickly to the open space of the altar, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they saw the rain of arrows falling to the ground.

"All the soldiers obey the order! In order to protect my Changyue country and clear my name for all generations, we will die here today, and we must not let this demon continue to harm the people for the trouble! Everyone will kill me with me!" A middle-aged man's powerful voice came from the front of the army, and it seemed that this person should be the leader of this team.

"Kill ——!"

After hearing the man's voice, the soldiers seemed to have the courage and conviction to attack again, waving the weapons in their hands and running towards Ziqingke again.

"Hmph, I can't do it. The corners of Zi Qingke's mouth hooked up with disdain.

He raised his hand and threw the intricate and heavy silver headdress on his head into the air, and the headdress instantly spread out, turning into countless tiny silver needles, and as the mana in his hand pushed forward, those silver needles flew towards the soldiers in front of him like small darts.

"Array!" the middle-aged man shouted.

The soldiers with shields in their hands hurriedly raised their shields one by one and built a shield wall in front of them.

There was a "clanging" sound, and the tiny silver needles were nailed to the surface of the shield one by one.

Just when everyone was relieved, Zi Qingke sneered, and gently spit out a word in his mouth, "Break!"

As soon as the words fell, the shields in the hands of the soldiers shattered and fell to the ground like broken copper.

"Hahahaha...... A group of ants, still delusional to fight with this seat, Xiao Ce, since this seat can help you ascend to the throne of the monarch, it can also kick you down from that position, I am afraid you have not figured out who has the final say in this Changyue Kingdom!" Zi Qingke laughed wildly, and a circle of black mist in his hand slammed into those soldiers who had lost the protection of their shields.

There was almost no time to react, and the soldiers who were hit by the black fog rushed to the end, and bursts of screams and wails continued to sound.

"You...... You ......" Xiao Ce trembled with anger, pointing at Ziqingke but was speechless for a long time.

Seeing those soldiers who fell to the ground, the majestic and powerful voice from before sounded again: "All soldiers, kill with me!"

However, this time this voice does not seem to have played such an uplifting role as before, in this Changyue country, where literature is heavy and light on military force, many soldiers have not experienced real life-and-death battles at all, and they only do daily drills in the barracks on weekdays.

After discovering that the national division was not a figure they could deal with at all, some of the soldiers who had shrunk behind were ready to unload their armor and flee.

However, there are also some bloody men who have red eyes after seeing their brothers fall to the ground injured, and let out unwilling and sad curses from their mouths.

"Escapees, kill them!" the middle-aged man's voice shouted with anger and heartache.

Hearing this, the soldiers who were about to take off their armor and flee paused, turned their heads to look at the middle-aged man, and rebuked angrily: "Huo Zhong, you can fight here regardless of your wife and children, but on what basis do you decide our life and death? We are not in the army to lose our heads, we are just to support our families." The national teacher's mana is all over the sky, how can mortals like us be his opponents?"

"That's right, I have an eighty-year-old grandmother and a child who has just been born for a short time, and the whole family is pointing to me to feed me, if I die, what will they do?"

"Our old Liu family is thin, and I am such a lone seedling in my generation, I haven't married a wife and had children, General Huo, you are trying to make our Liu family the last!"

"Huo Jianjun, we don't want to die!"

Hearing this shouting and shouting of either anger or begging, Huo Zhong's face gradually became desolate.

As an auxiliary general, although he has never experienced a real war, he never dares to forget the family motto of the Huo family for generations, he always remembers that he is a soldier, as long as the country needs it, he Huo family must throw his head and spill blood without hesitation.

A few months ago, when he learned that Zi Qingke was secretly searching for the women of the Liang family, he felt that something was wrong, and as he expected, it didn't take long for Zi Qingke to propose to the monarch to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens on this year's winter solstice, and vowed that this move would eliminate the flames in the eight hot volcanoes that had plagued the Changyue Kingdom for hundreds of years.

Although the entire Changyue Kingdom knew that this Ziqingke's mana was extraordinary, but to say that they could destroy the flames of the Eight Heat Volcanoes, Huo Zhong and Xiao Ce both had doubts in their hearts.

And when Ziqingke said the specific method of sacrificing to the sky, Huo Zhong was even more sure that this Ziqingke was an evil crooked, he had been lurking in this Changyue country for nearly a hundred years, and now he finally showed his fox tail.

However, Huo Zhong also knew that their Huo family had the false name of the hereditary title of "Auxiliary General", but they had never been treated by successive monarchs for hundreds of years, and when the monarch of the dynasty was ambitious, he was afraid that he would be tempted by this demon master with a hot head.

So Huo Zhong had no choice but to risk death to advise in order to have a clear conscience.

However, when he met Xiao Ce and had a secret conversation with him, he found that Xiao Ce had always been wary of Ziqingke, and he also disagreed with this method of sacrificing to the sky, but because he was afraid of the other party's strength, he superficially accepted it and did not raise any objections.

Of course, Xiao Ce also had some luck mentality, if it was really like what Ziqingke said, sacrificing to the sky was just a ritual, and then he would have a way to eliminate the flames in the Eight Heat Volcanoes, then everything would depend on him.

Therefore, Xiao Ce and Huo Zhong co-staged a good show of the monarch's house arrest and persuasion of the minister, so that Huo Zhong secretly arranged the army to ambush here, if Ziqing's words did not match the truth, Huo Zhong launched a military force to confront him.

However, what they didn't expect was that the mana of this Ziqingke was a hundred times stronger than they imagined, and the belief of these soldiers to protect their families and defend the country was also a hundred times weaker than they imagined.

Thinking of this, Huo Zhong's desolate face showed a wry smile: "The ancestral training handed down from generation to generation of my Huo family is to protect the family and defend the country at all costs, and now although I, Huo, have not been fortunate enough to set foot on the real battlefield, I have already experienced the taste of internal and external troubles." You're right, I have no control over your life or death. Whether to go or stay, you decide for yourself, I Huo don't force it. If you are willing to stay, we are still brothers on Huangquan Road!"

After saying this, Huo Zhong held a spear in his hand and flew in the direction of Ziqingke without looking back.

"Huo Zhong, it's actually him......" Looking at the figure who was not young but resolutely straightened his back, a complicated color crossed Qing Ci's eyes.

"This is the father of the Huo family brothers and sisters, the auxiliary general of the dynasty?"

"Loyal to the liver and courage, but unfortunately born at the wrong time. Luo Fan sighed.

"Won't you make a move? He'll die at the hands of Ziqingke!" asked Hua Chengcheng a little anxiously.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting loudly among the soldiers with different faces: "This demon is not even in the eyes of the king, he can sacrifice forty-nine women on this altar today, maybe he can slaughter us tomorrow, instead of secretly living and being afraid all day long, it is better to fight with the general!"

"Yes, go with the general!"

"Kill, destroy this demon way!"

Finally, there were still some bloody men who were touched in their hearts after hearing Huo Zhong's heartfelt words and sad expression, and picked up the weapons on the ground again, and followed Huo Zhong to kill Ziqingke.

"Interestingly, such a resolute soul, if you don't accept it, it will really be a waste. Zi Qingke watched the monkey show for a long time, and a cruel smile crossed the corner of his mouth.

As soon as he raised his hand, he inhaled the two soldiers closest to him into his palms, and a wisp of black qi passed from his palms into the bodies of the two soldiers, and the two people instantly stared blankly and fell to the ground.

The next moment, with a wave of his sleeves, he flipped several oncoming soldiers to the ground.

"Demon Dao, I will fight with you!" Huo Zhong roared angrily, and a spear conjured up more than a dozen phantoms towards Zi Qingke's front door.
