The night is as heavy as ink.

The Imperial Palace of the Purple Cloud Kingdom is located in the very center of the Imperial City. The palace is very extensive, and even includes a few not-so-high peaks in between.

Juyun Peak is the peak where Emperor Tang Dingjiang lived. The mountain peak was shrouded in a defensive formation, and not far from the Qianqing Hall where Tang Dingjiang lived was the Imperial Worship Hall.

The leading monk of the Imperial Family Worship Hall was Zhu Qiao, a seventh-layer Qi refining master from Canghai Palace. The other cultivators were either sixth-level Qi refining masters who had traveled out of Canghai Palace, or they were folk high-level cultivators from the Purple Cloud Kingdom.

With these monks and masters guarding him, generally speaking, Tang Dingjiang's safety would not go wrong.

But tonight things don't seem to be the same. Before nightfall, first of all, Zhu Qiao left the worship hall with excuses, saying that he was going to a friend's house to appreciate the treasures. After that, most of the monks of the worship hall left the palace under one excuse or another. In the end, there were only two fifth-level Qi refining monks Yang Cheng and Xie Feng guarding the huge worship hall.

"Xie Feng, do you feel that something seems wrong with the situation tonight?" Yang Cheng said to Xie Feng, who was watching the monitoring array with him.

"yes, I think something is wrong, too. Brother Zhu Dao, they were not there. If someone takes the opportunity to attack Juyun Peak......" Xie Feng also felt something strange.

"It is said that this set of defensive formations comes from Canghai Palace, and monks who do not have the strength above the middle stage of foundation building do not want to break it. On the Qingyun Star, there are almost no monks above the middle stage of foundation building. But why do I always feel inexplicably uneasy in my heart? Yang Cheng muttered to himself.

"I also reacted to what you said. I was also a little uneasy in my heart. This set of formations, without the correct opening method, it is difficult to attack. But why am I still like this? Could it be that something is really going to happen tonight......" Xie Feng continued.

Before Xie Feng's words were finished, the monitoring array suddenly made a low sound.

"Someone is opening the right path from the outside. Could it be that Brother Zhu Dao and they are back? ”

Yang Cheng clicked somewhere on the monitoring array, and the real-time picture of the location that caused the monitoring reaction was immediately mapped above the array. On the screen, a large group of people dressed as hooded monks were breaking in through the entrance of the formation without hindrance.

"Not good! The comer is not good! Yang Cheng and Xie Feng exclaimed at the same time.

"The two of us were abandoned." The two looked at each other and exclaimed again.

In the worship hall, Yang Cheng and Xie Feng are both casual cultivators, but their level is at the bottom of it, so they never attract attention. These two people have been able to grow from the bloody storm to the point where they are now, and I don't know how many treacherous things they have seen.

From the fact that the monks of the worship hall left en masse and now that the masked monks had mastered the formula to open the formation and calmly invaded, they instantly understood the truth of the matter.

The truth of the matter is nothing more than that

The eldest prince Tang Kaishan finally took a risk, planning to kill the monarch and ascend the throne. And Tang Kaishan paid a lot of price in order to buy off the other monks in the worship hall?

Monks are actually better to buy than mortals. As long as you can get enough valuable cultivation resources, you'll be fine.

Tang Kaishan was the only one who didn't come to buy Yang Cheng and Xie Feng, making it clear that he couldn't look down on the strength of the two of them. Besides, for such a big thing, it must be the blood of the guardian monk to appear real, so that the matter can be covered up from the surface.

Yang Cheng and Xie Feng immediately understood that the two of them had been unanimously chosen as scapegoats by the other monks of the Worship Hall and Tang Kaishan.

In an instant, there were already screams outside. This is the mortal martial cultivator who invaded the monk in the killing periphery. No matter how powerful these mortal martial cultivators are among mortals, they are no match for these invading monks. The monks are all sacrificing magic weapons and using spells for long-range combat. The mortal martial cultivators guarding the palace were powerless.

The martial cultivators, who had seen the opportunity, did not resist at all, but just saw the gap and fled to the place where the invading monks came from. For those who escaped, the invading monks did not chase after them.

However, the killing of the invading monks was carried out too quickly, and there were still too few martial cultivators who could escape. Starting from the inner city gate, the entire palace area was quickly filled with blood, and from time to time there were fires rising into the sky.

"Brother Yang Dao, what now?" Xie Feng asked Yang Cheng nervously.

"What to do? Escape. Do you want to stay here and die in vain? Yang Cheng said immediately.

"But the entire Juyun Peak was shrouded in the formation. There is no way for us to escape from anywhere else except for the way the monks are invading. Xie Feng said blankly.

"Especially, since they are unkind, let us not blame us for our unrighteousness. Xie Feng, I have a special study of formation. This monitoring array can both control and paralyze the large array. To patch it up again, it takes a lot of resources. But now we can't care about so much, immediately paralyze the big array, and then escape. Lao Tzu didn't want to die with the mortal old emperor. Yang Cheng gritted his teeth, raised his hands and quickly held one spell after another, and kept hitting the monitoring array.

Xie Feng's face was first happy, and then shocked.

"Brother Yang Dao, if you destroy the big array, aren't you afraid that the old ancestor of the Tang family in Canghai Palace will give you a hunt and kill order?" Xie Feng said.

Yang Cheng's hand shook, almost affecting the completeness of the magic technique in his hand.

"I'm talking about you! You and I are dying, and what are you thinking about what you don't do? Let's get away with the murder in front of you! Yang Cheng scolded angrily in his busy schedule.

"yes. It is better to die later than to die now. Besides, after we escape, we can go to a country that is not controlled by Canghai Palace. When the time comes, it will be far away, and it will be impossible for Canghai Palace to come to look for us. Xie Feng came to his senses.

"Exactly. As long as we can

Get away, and when the time comes, the main responsibility will still be borne by Zhu Qiao. I told them wanted me to be a scapegoat! Yang Cheng waved his hands more and more rapidly.

Neither mentioned the surrender of the invading monks. Because that's unrealistic, the other party just wants to let the two of them die, so that there will be no trouble.

"Hurry up! They're going to kill the worship hall! As he spoke, the shouts of killing outside the worship hall were getting closer and closer.

"That's it!"

Yang Cheng solemnly pulled the last spell at a relatively slow speed and hit it heavily on the array plate.

'Boom'

A low roar suddenly sounded on Juyun Peak. It was also accompanied by bursts of bright light. The defensive array guarding Juyun Peak suddenly broke.

"Let's go!"

Yang Cheng snorted, he didn't even have time to leave the door, he immediately broke through the wooden window, and casually chose a direction and disappeared into the layers of darkness. Xie Feng hurriedly followed.

At this time, the invading monks had already killed more than a hundred zhang away from the worship hall.

"Not good, Nan...... Boss, those two escaped! "Someone among the invading monks shouted.

At the same time, some monks launched their bodies and wanted to pursue them.

"Stay!" The lead monk shouted.

"Don't pursue. It's not easy to catch up in the dark night. Count the two of them in their lives. Even if they run away, they can still throw the pot on them. The lead monk said.

"Boss, if they are caught by the people of Canghai Palace and tortured to find out the truth, then we ......," a monk said hesitantly.

"What are you worried about? Those two were lucky enough to escape, and they would definitely not stay in the Purple Cloud Country again. If I were them, I would have fled overnight to a country that was not under the jurisdiction of the Canghai Palace. Besides, do you think that the one in Canghai Palace will really bother to deal with these mundane things? The lead monk said coldly.

"Yes, Boss. It's me who thinks it's bad. The monk bowed his head and confessed.

"It's good to know what you're wrong. Hurry up and get down to business. With a wave of his hand, the leading monk stepped up their killing again.

Time passed, and the invading monks quickly killed in front of the Qianqing Palace.

No matter how many martial arts cultivators piled up in front of the Qianqing Palace, they were gradually killed by the monks. In the end, the martial armor warriors finally dispersed in a hurry and fled in all directions.

"The target is still in there, right?" Looking at the closed vermilion gate in front of him, the leading monk asked aloud.

"Back to this immortal master, the target is still inside." An in-house attendant ran out of nowhere and said to the leading monk.

"Push the door open." The lead monk said slowly.

The vermilion gate was pushed open with a bang. A line of intruders rushed in.
