Ji Tianxing left the palace, but he did not leave the imperial city.

He used a little trick, changed his disguise, and then hid in a hidden mansion.

More than twenty strong men sent by the Holy Master searched for his traces everywhere in the city, but found nothing.

That night, in the wee hours of the morning.

It's the darkest time before dawn, and it's the quietest time of the day.

But for some reason, the palace was lit up with lights, and a deafening loud noise suddenly lit up.

The muffled sound of "boom", like a muffled thunder echoing in the night sky, spread throughout the entire imperial city.

All kinds of colorful spells and splendor continue to emerge in the palace, lighting up the night sky like fireworks.

Bursts of violent shockwaves spread out like ripples, impacting the palaces and high walls of the palace.

Occasionally, there would be a dull loud noise that exploded deep underground, shaking half of the city as if it had been an earthquake.

There is no doubt that there are strong men fighting and fighting fiercely in the palace.

In a short period of time, there were seven or eight places where thrilling battles broke out.

The dazzling magic light and shadow, the all-penetrating Yuan Shen Dharma, shrouded the entire palace, and it was clearly visible from a hundred miles away.

In a short time, the more than a dozen large defensive arrays that enveloped the palace were all opened.

Tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards shouted loudly and supported the defensive array with all their might.

Suddenly, the entire palace was in chaos.

The people around the palace were also awakened by the huge fighting movement.

Countless people opened the doors and windows and looked up in the direction of the palace, revealing a look of surprise and horror.

Many people didn't know what was going on, and they were anxiously shouting and talking to each other about it.

In the center of the city, in a secluded and old house.

There is a 20-zhang high pagoda in the courtyard, which has not been cleaned and repaired all year round, and has been covered with dust and somewhat dilapidated.

At this time, Ji Tianxing was standing at the top of the tower, looking at the direction of the palace with an expressionless face.

He stood quietly, his body straight, his figure as if he had become one with the night.

The night breeze blew, stirring his long hair, and there was a faint sneer in his deep eyes.

Two quarters of an hour later, the fighting in the palace stopped.

The splendor of the spell that lit up the night sky dissipated, and so did the dull loud noise.

When dawn came, and the sky was white, calm returned to the palace, and the defensive array was temporarily closed.

Ji Tianxing left the top of the tower and returned to the old mansion.

He sat in his study and waited quietly for half an hour.

Zhibai, who was dressed in a black robe, appeared in the study like a phantom, saluted him respectfully, and reported the news.

"Master Qiqi, my subordinates have already found out the news. ”

Say. Ji Tianxing nodded.

Zhibai arched his hand and reported: "Just last night, the news that you gave the Heaven Burial Sword to the Izumo Emperor has spread in the city.

There are many forces lurking in the city, and they all use various means to pass on the news.

In the early hours of the morning, more than a dozen strong men broke into the palace to inquire about the news and tried in vain to snatch the Burial Sky Sword.

But those strong people were discovered by the palace guards, and only then did a battle break out. ”

Ji Tianxing had already expected this result, and he was not surprised at all, and asked, "Have you found out the identity information of those dozen or so people?"

Zhibai reported expressionlessly: "Some of the dozen or so powerhouses followed us to Tianyun City and belonged to the major empires.

There are also several groups of powerhouses, who seem to be the top forces of the Izumo Empire, who have hidden their identities.

Although the dozen or so groups were killed or repulsed, the losses in the palace were heavy, and the casualties of the Janissaries exceeded 5,000 ......"

The news reported by Zhibai is relatively concise, but it is all concise and focused.

In just a few words, Ji Tianxing understood the situation of the palace.

After listening, he bowed his head slightly and said, "This is just the beginning, and the good show is still to come."

Zhibai continued to stare at the movements of the palace and secretly inquire about the news. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Zhibai clenched his fists and saluted, hesitated for a moment before asking: "Master, my subordinates have a question, I don't know if I should ask?"

Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows, "Say it." ”

Zhibai used the method of sound transmission and asked in a cautious tone: "Master, the Heaven Burial Sword you gave to Emperor Izumo should be fake, right?"

This question was hidden in his heart all night.

He still couldn't believe that his master would give away the real Heaven Burial Sword.

The corners of Ji Tianxing's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said in a playful tone: "You are not too stupid, you can barely follow me as an entourage." ”

Such a reluctant compliment, but it made Zhibai's eyes swell with light, quite proud and excited.

"The host has won the prize. ”

"Go ahead. Ji Tianxing didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to signal him to step back.

Zhibai hurriedly saluted and retired, and continued to inquire about the news in the imperial city, secretly monitoring the movements of the palace.

......

For the next few days, Skycloud City was in a state of hustle and bustle.

There was a lot of gossip in the city, which made the people panic.

It is said that someone saw Ji Tianxing come back with their own eyes.

And, outside the palace gates, he presented a black sword to Emperor Izumo.

On the same night, a large number of unidentified mysterious powerhouses secretly infiltrated the palace and had a fierce battle with the palace guards.

Early the next morning, the entire imperial city went under martial law.

100,000 palace guards and more than 100,000 city guards are all fully armed to guard the imperial city and palace.

Even in the streets and alleys of the Imperial City, there are teams of guards patrolling, searching for suspicious people everywhere.

Every night, there are battles inside and outside the palace.

The earth-shattering loud sound and the dazzling magic brilliance can always wake up the warriors and people of the whole city.

The imperial city was filled with an atmosphere of slaughter and oppression, and everyone's hearts were shrouded in a layer of gloom.

The gates of the imperial city were closed, and the people were forbidden to enter or leave.

Everyone had to stay at home, and they didn't dare to go out and move around at will, even during the day.

No one knows why the most prosperous imperial city has become like this.

No one knows how long such a dangerous situation will last before it ends.

And in the past few days, Ji Tianxing has been hiding in the old mansion and has never gone out.

He has been secretly following the movements of the palace and listening to the news reported by Zhibai every day.

As time went on, the situation at the palace became worse by the day.

Hundreds of battles take place every day in the city, and at least thousands of city guards and janissaries are killed.

More and more mysterious powerhouses are secretly infiltrating the imperial city, waiting for an opportunity.

Among those mysterious powerhouses, there are not only people from the royal families of various countries, but also powerhouses from the top forces of various countries.

Even, several top forces in the Izumo Empire sent a large number of strong people to quietly infiltrate the imperial city.

Skycloud City has become even more chaotic and dangerous.

The continuous fighting and fighting left the palace in tatters, with large areas of ruins and ruins.
