Chapter 16: The Successor

Mei's brows furrowed: "If this speculation is true, then doesn't it mean that the token is very likely to be in the ......"

Gu Cheng said lightly: "If this speculation is true, it is almost 100 percent!" The various forces of Heavenly Court have been secretly looking for so many years and have not heard from them, unless Xiao Jue has already destroyed that thing, where else can they be. ”

Mei took several deep breaths before trying to calm her down.

"It's a real ...... What a great thing! ”

Heavenly Court was originally an entire continent, surrounded by oceans. The last Emperor of Heaven died without a queen, in order to compete for the throne, the heroes rose together, and finally because of the fierce civil war caused the Heavenly Court to be damaged, although it was finally repaired by the Arbitration Palace, but the impact can no longer be changed.

The continent was divided into five, and the sea poured in, so the pattern of the heavenly court changed from the former "round heaven and place" to the current "five states and four seas".

No one is in the mood to pick a nice name, so they default to the approximate direction, and over time, it becomes a name.

The five states are: East, West, South, North, and Central.

The four seas are known as the Northeast Sea, the Northwest Sea, the Southeast Sea, and the Southwest Sea.

On the one hand, due to the strong intervention of the Arbitration Palace, on the other hand, it has caused such a big consequence, and the family is probably also apprehensive. As a result, the fighting finally subsided, and the various forces coexisted peacefully on their own side.

Heavenly Court's power is roughly divided into three levels. After the Heavenly Court was restored, the distribution of spirits was no longer as balanced as before, and the location of Zhongzhou was the center of the entire Heavenly Court, and the concentration of spirits was much higher than that of the other four states, so with the exception of each other, all the first-grade forces of Heavenly Court chose to build their base camp in Zhongzhou.

The Demon Palace is one of the exceptions. It is a first-grade sect recognized by the entire Heavenly Court, but its headquarters is located in Dongzhou.

The inheritance of Heavenly Court is extremely long, and the history of many family sects can even be traced back to before the age of mythology, compared with those old forces whose history is often based on millennia, the Demon Palace, which has been in the early five hundred years since its establishment, can really be regarded as a "new" one.

It is not difficult to produce a first-grade sect in five hundred years, but no one would have thought that the emergence of this "budding new" not only broke the peaceful state of the Heavenly Court for more than 4,000 years, but also almost unified the entire Heavenly Court.

And the one who almost became the seventh Heavenly Emperor in the history of China was Xiao Yao, one of the founders of the Demon Palace and the first Demon Lord of the Demon Palace at the time.

According to records, that great battle broke out one hundred and eighty-three years ago, and almost all the first-rank forces in the Heavenly Court, and most of the second-rank forces in the platoon, all participated in it, and the tragic battle situation was not far behind the civil war of that year.

At that time, the Demon Palace occupied the entire Dongzhou, and with the power of one state, it shook the entire Heavenly Court, and it was able to play with ease and firmly gain the upper hand. However, there are many contradictions within the coalition forces, interests are constantly entangled, and even many forces have directly defected, and the whole form is shaky and almost about to fall apart. The Demon Palace's unification of the Heavenly Court is a foregone conclusion.

It's just that no one thought that the Lord of the Killing Hall in the three halls of the Demon Palace would actually defect on the day of the decisive battle!

The army of the Demon Palace was caught off guard, and was quickly defeated by the enemy. This battle dealt a great blow to the Demon Palace, Xiao Jue was attacked by the Lord of the Killing Palace, seriously injured and near death, the Lord of the Wen Palace was seriously injured, and the Lord of the Silver Palace died on the spot.

Almost overnight, the momentum of the Demon Palace suddenly turned from extreme prosperity to extreme decline, and if it wasn't for the Arbitration Hall at the end, it might have been destroyed directly.

In the end of the incident, the local forces in Dongzhou got rid of the rule of the Demon Palace and regained their freedom, the Demon Palace shrank its territory, and all the high-level people died, injured and walked, and the trees fell and scattered, and there was no possibility of a comeback.

This whole incident seems to be complete, but in fact, none of them can stand up to repeated scrutiny, and there are as many doubts as many as stars, and the relationships between all parties involved are like a mess, making people unable to start.

The only thing that can be regarded as a clue is Xiao Jue's last words when he was dying.

He said: "The master of the River Styx can become the next demon lord of the Demon Palace after me." ”

The River Styx that Xiao Jue is talking about is not the legendary River of Hell, but a knife, which is Xiao Jue's portable saber.

This sword is famous in the entire Caspian world, but it is not a divine weapon.

It's a terrifying thing!
