Chapter 41: Danger lurks
Wolong City, deep in the Imperial Palace.
The current emperor of the Shenlong Empire, Huang Ji, wearing a purple and gold jade crown and a five-clawed golden dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon chair in the center of the main hall, and his tiger eyes were shining, sweeping both sides of the main hall.
Murong Fu, the head of the Murong family, Shangguan Yunjie, the head of the Shangguan family, and Li Mingfeng, the head of the Li family...... A group of civil ministers and military generals are arranged on the left and right sides of the main hall.
In the open space in the middle of the main hall.
Xiao Naihe, the Xiao family, held a palm-sized keel split in half with both hands, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, looked solemn, and was silent.
"Purple Qilin King, this is what was left over after the blood-colored pillar of light disappeared. The barren look was cold, his eyes were glowing with cold light, and his gaze reached the keel in Xiao Naihe's hand.
He is over middle age, his age is similar to that of Murong Fu, Xiao Naihe and others, and his cultivation has already reached the late stage of the Jade Emperor Realm.
Xiao Nai didn't dare to raise his head, and replied loudly:
"Your Majesty, the minister has ordered the people in the palace to thoroughly investigate every corner of the alley where the blood-colored pillar of light is located, and this broken keel is indeed the only object left there after the blood-colored pillar of light has disappeared. ”
"I'm afraid it's more than that!"
Murong Fu, the head of the Murong family, sneered, raised his feet and walked from the left side of the hall to the center of the hall, knelt on one knee, bowed his hand, and continued.
"Your Majesty, there are still the corpses of the five barbarian slaves of the Murong family in the alley where the blood-colored pillar of light appeared last night, according to Xiao'er, these five barbarian slaves are the thieves he sent to chase down a thief who stole the treasures of the Murong family. ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister has not finished speaking, there are indeed five corpses left in that alley, but the death of those five corpses is extremely terrifying, not only the flesh and blood are festering, but even the bones and muscles are broken like mud. This matter may involve people from the evil way and ghost clan, and the detailed situation has been written in the chapter, and His Majesty will know it at a glance. ”
Xiao Naihe squinted and glanced at Murong Fu coldly, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Last night, the blood-colored pillar of light was so evil that when it burst, the impact it triggered was like a flood passing through, destroying all the courtyards on the left and right sides of the alleyway.
He and the Great Elder and Second Elder of the Xiao Clan dodged to the ground in time and did not receive any damage.
After the blood-colored pillar of light completely disappeared, the three of them flew up from the ground and rushed to the place where the blood-colored pillar of light dissipated in a few breaths.
Blood was splattered in all directions in the alleyway, broken flesh and blood were scattered like sludge among the rubble and rubble, and the air was filled with a cold, evil, and treacherous aura, which made people shudder.
Xiao Nai found the diamond-shaped keel broken in half from a pile of rubble.
At the same time, he also found five bloody human skins from the rubble not far from the diamond-shaped keel, and the expression on each human skin face was terrified to the extreme, with a wide open mouth, prominent pupils, and hands and feet still maintaining a posture of wanting to escape.
On the dragon chair, Huang Ji waved his hand and motioned to the big palace eunuch on the side to go and get the diamond-shaped keel in Xiao Naihe's hand, and said coldly:
"King Honghu, who is the thief who stole the treasures of your house, and who can cause such a terrifying vision of heaven and earth. ”
Murong Fu bowed down and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's child, this person is wearing a purple unicorn robe that only the descendants of the Xiao family are qualified to wear. If Your Majesty wants to know the identity of this person, you can find it clear by asking the Purple Qilin King. ”
"Murong Fu, you, you bloody mouth!"
Xiao Nai raised his head suddenly, his eyes were round, the green tendons between his arms were bursting out, and he was angry to the extreme.
"Xiao Aiqing, can this matter be true?"
Huang Yan half-narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and took the diamond-shaped keel that was broken into two halves from the hand of the big palace supervisor on the side, the keel was cold in his hand, the surface was very rough, and the whole body was black, and there was no trace of dragon qi in it, but it was surprisingly heavy.
He checked it in his hand, and it was about ten pounds.
The two keels are combined together to form a boxy diamond, although the edge and the middle are missing a lot, but you can still see the original appearance of the diamond-shaped keel.
Xiao Nai was so frightened that he was full of big men, knelt on his knees, bowed down, and said:
"Your Majesty, what Murong Fu said must not be true, when the blood-colored pillar of light appeared last night, all the sons and daughters of the Xiao family were resting in the mansion, and Your Majesty can send Jin Longwei to confirm it. ”
"Your Majesty, the shopkeeper of a branch in the Huangming Fang reported yesterday that a young man wearing a purple unicorn robe and no more than fifteen years old had taken out a palm-sized diamond-shaped keel in the store. The old minister has carved the shape of the keel in the silk silk. ”
A half-centenarian in a dark green official robe came out of the right side of the main hall, knelt on one knee and took out a white silk silk from his bosom with a wave of his hand, and presented it to the top of his head.
"Go get it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
In the open space on the lower right side of the dragon chair.
The palace eunuch leaned over to salute, took small steps, and quickly rushed to the side of the half-hundred old man, took off the white silk silk, and then quickly turned back to the main hall, leaned over and presented it to the barren man.
Barren Zhai's eyes were shining, and he waved his hand to open the white silk silk, and the first thing that caught his eye was a diamond-shaped keel the size of a palm, looking at its appearance, it was exactly the same as the keel presented by Xiao Naihe.
The white silk silk was wrapped in layers, and immediately after, the portrait of a young man with black hair floating and wearing a purple unicorn robe appeared in front of his eyes.
"Purple Qilin King, you carefully identify this person. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand and threw the silk in his hand under the main hall.
Xiao Naihe was sweating profusely, crawled forward a few times, picked up the white silk silk, and the moment he waved his hand to open it, his pupils contracted sharply, and the person on the silk silk was his grandson - Xuanfeng.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this son is indeed a member of the Xiao family. ”
He hung his head and bowed to the ground.
As early as last night, when he, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Li discovered the diamond-shaped dragon bone, he already knew that the person who caused the blood-colored light pillar was his grandson, Xuan Feng.
Xuan Feng was silent in the year that he was hidden in the snow of the Xiao Clan's mansion, and every time in the dead of night, he would take out the diamond-shaped animal bones and stand quietly in front of the window in contemplation.
Xiao Nai He knew this, and Xiao Yu'er had already told him that the diamond-shaped beast bone was the only relic left to him by Xuan Feng's adoptive father, Mu Hu.
"Your Majesty, last night the sea of blood covered the sky, and it was more than 100 miles, this son can cause such a shocking vision, it must be the reincarnation of an evil demon. The old minister implored His Majesty to issue an edict immediately while this son had not yet grown up: this son must be strangled in the cradle. ”
Murong Fu was proud in his heart, and he was able to use this matter to fight the Xiao family with all his might, which was definitely a great thing for the Murong family.
His second son, Murong Hua, had already informed him of the cause and effect, and he didn't think that Xuan Feng was the one who caused the blood-colored pillar of light. But in order to be able to use this to hit the Xiao family, Murong Fu could only insist that Xuan Feng was the one who caused the blood-colored pillar of light.
Each of the four major Xiuzhen families is in charge of different affairs within the Shenlong Empire.
As soon as the Xiao family falls, the property under its command and the Lingshan ore vein will become ownerless, and at that time, the Murong family will be able to vigorously expand its sphere of influence.
Xiao Nai was unwilling in his heart, his hands clenched and crackled, leaned over and bowed again, and said:
"Your Majesty, the person in the portrait is the grandson of the old minister - Xuan Feng, who has lived in a small town since he was a child, and is not familiar with the world, so he can never be the person who caused the blood-colored pillar of light. ”
"In this case, I will give you seven days, and if you can't hand over Xuanfeng after seven days, then don't blame me for not thinking about it. ”
With a warm expression, he waved his hand and threw the diamond-shaped keel that had been broken in half onto the main hall.
"Retreat!" With a long shout from the palace eunuch, the ministers bowed their heads, and the barren man stood up, turned around and walked into the inner palace.
After a while, the ministers walked out of the palace and stepped into their respective sedan chairs.
"Simenja, you have seen my grandson. ”
Xiao Nai He rushed forward angrily and grabbed the half-hundred-year-old man who had handed over the portrait of Xuan Feng before, making the latter tremble in fright.
The half-hundred-year-old man is the brother of the sect master of the Smelting Pavilion, the West Incisor, and he only has a mid-innate cultivation, so he dares to deal with Xiao Nai head-on, and said urgently.
"Lord Wang's anger! Feng Gongzi did go to Huangmingfang yesterday, and he also took a snow Jiao blade from the smelting pavilion. ”
"My grandson has no long things, you will be so kind to give you a high-grade magic weapon, saying, did Siemens leave a tracking divine sense in the snow Jiao blade? ”
Ximenya's heart was bitter, and he couldn't wait to slap his two big mouths.
Yesterday, Siemens reported: He found a real dragon bone, and secretly lured Murong Ku to inform Murong Hua, so that he could kill Xuan Feng and snatch the real dragon bone.
Siemens left a tracking consciousness in the Snow Jiao Blade, in order to take advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides to reap the power of the fisherman.
"The prince is really wise, but it's too late. After midnight last night, Siemens led a group of people to search and track the divine sense and found the Xue Jiao Blade, but the Xue Jiao Blade had turned into a scrap iron, and the Jiaolong Yuan Force contained in it dissipated, and Feng Gongzi also disappeared without a trace. ”
The West Incisor was helpless and could only be told to the plate.
Xiao Naihe looked cold and said. "Where did Snow Jiao Blade last appear?"
West Incisor paused slightly, and said, "A laneway near the Ethereal Inn." ”
"Thank you, farewell!"
Xiao Nai let go of the West Incistor, sat on his sedan chair, waved to several sedan chair drivers, and quickly ran towards the Xiao family's mansion.
Not far away, Murong Fu heard the conversation between the two clearly, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he said coldly:
"It would be interesting if this king found Xuan Feng first and placed a few corpses of royal people next to him......
There was an undercurrent surging outside the palace, and the battle between the Murong clan and the Xiao clan was gradually intensifying.
Interior of the Royal Palace.
He sat on the bed, his expression cold, and he didn't say a word.
In the open space three meters in front of him, an old man with white hair held a dust whisk in his left hand and a bronze mirror in his right hand.
In the bronze mirror, the sea of blood is monstrous, and a blood-colored pillar of light runs through the heavens and the earth, one end is inserted into the sky, and the other end is connected in a deep laneway.
The old man leaned over and said slowly:
Your Majesty, eight hundred years ago, Taizu's second son, Jin Feng, also triggered a pillar of blood-colored light when he was promoted to the Innate Realm. Taizu was merciful and refused to kill the prince Jin Feng, which caused the empire to be in turmoil for a hundred years.
Ten years ago, the golden dragon on the eastern frontier of the empire floated in the sky, and the colorful rainbow crossed the heavens and the earth, and its vision was exactly the same as when the prince Jin Feng was born.
Golden Dragon Guard's Secret Report: Xiao Naihe's grandson, Xuan Feng, is from the eastern frontier of the empire, whether this person is the one who triggered the blood-colored pillar of light or not, he should be killed immediately!
