Mingdu, the imperial city.

The majestic palaces are endless, a stark contrast to the high-rise buildings in other parts of the Imperial City outside the Imperial City.

The splendid Sun and Moon Palace has experienced thousands of years of baptism, and it is still magnificent, and it still exudes antique flavor compared to the tall buildings with modern style rudiments in the outside world.

Solemn, solemn, and showing the majesty of the Xu family, the ruler of the Sun and Moon Empire, since ancient times.

As the pinnacle of the power of the Sun and Moon Empire, even the Titled Douluo and the ninth-level soul master who were at the top of the pyramid of the continental power system did not dare to make a mistake at will in the imperial city.

Now, however, there is an outsider who walks in the middle and desecrates this historic palace.

Huo Yuhao walked on the path inside the palace without feeling the slightest restraint.

Beside him, from time to time, several palace maids and guards, and even some soul masters and soul masters who did not know their identities passed by. Although the spiritual probe discovered their existence from a distance, Huo Yuhao did not deliberately dodge, but passed by them calmly.

With the disguise of the simulation, no one was able to spot the intruder.

"This Xu family's nest is easier to steal than I imagined."

Huo Yuhao sighed with emotion in his heart, carefully analyzing the information transmitted back by the spiritual detection.

It's not the first time he's been to the Sun Moon Palace, but today he has the opportunity to explore the secrets and find out the truth of the royal family.

The Imperial City was so large that even his current spiritual probes within a radius of several kilometers could not cover it all. The Heavenly Soul Palace and the Star Luo Palace together are not as large as the Sun Moon Palace.

However, compared to the difficulty of infiltrating alone, the Imperial Palace is far inferior to the Mingde Hall, which is full of soul detection guides.

At this moment, Xu Tianran was watching the game in the eastern suburbs with hundreds of civil and military officials, and most of the elites of the Royal Soul Master Group had also been transferred. The palace of Nuoda seemed a little deserted for a while, and this also gave Huo Yuhao a chance.

In the palace, the highest cultivation level walking around the road is no more than a soul saint, and it is not like the Mingde Hall where there are triggered soul guides everywhere, so he doesn't need to be overly vigilant at the moment.

Except for one place, in Huo Yuhao's mind was a large shadow that could not be detected by anything.

The place was not far behind the palace, very close to the palace where the Sun and Moon Emperor was, and the initial detection was cut off by an unknown force.

Huo Yuhao did not strengthen his spiritual power output for the time being.

There will be no master in the palace, and the spiritual power that can make him currently enough to eavesdrop on the low-level Title Douluo cannot penetrate, and the existence inside is very strong.

Huo Yuhao's goal was very clear, and he walked straight into the hall of the daily court. This is the most central location in the entire Imperial City.

Now there is not a single minister or general in the palace, only a few guards on patrol.

His steps were steady, without making a sound, and he slowly walked down the steps to the dragon chair in the center of the hall.

This is the place where the Sun and Moon Emperors of all dynasties accepted the worship of hundreds of officials and issued government decrees. Now the people who accept the daily worship have changed from the Sun and Moon Emperor to the crown prince Xu Tianran.

And now, the guards patrolling around them did not expect that someone would take advantage of the monarch's absence to privately walk in front of the dragon chair.

This is a great disrespect to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!

If Xu Tianran knew about it, this narrow-minded prince would probably be killed along with the insulting people and these inadequately guarded guards.

Huo Yuhao stood quietly in front of the dragon chair, looking at the magnificent hall.

This is not only the center of the entire Sun and Moon Imperial City, but also the center of the entire Ming Capital, and the center of the entire Sun and Moon Empire.

And now, in this center, the person standing is Huo Yuhao.

He silently analyzes the redundant information within the psychic probe.

The Sun Moon Emperor's dormitory was not difficult to find, but the initial detection was very vague, and there were several powerful auras beside him, so if you wanted to explore clearly, you had to get closer.

"Uh-huh~"

In the frozen plane, Tianmeng is humming a little song while manipulating the ice and snow to cast into the shape he wants.

To put it simply, it's playing with mud...... However, sturdy ice cubes and gentle snowflakes are much more malleable materials.

Aside from sleeping, it's one of her favorite activities to pass the time.

What Tianmeng wants to carve on a whim now is a palace as magnificent as the Sun and Moon Palace.

It's a big job.

Tianmeng is not in a hurry, her mental power is enough, and she is idle.

While controlling the ice cube to lay the foundation, she asked, "Bingbing, how do you see how well I have practiced my control of the ice attribute?" ”

The Ice Emperor raised his eyelids and said lightly, "General." ”

Although Tianmeng's control of the ice attribute is far from the eyes of the Ice Emperor, she is already the strongest in the Ice Silkworm clan, and the other Ice Silkworms only have ice attributes, and as a result, they will only crawl on the snow, and their skills are only simulated.

The Ice Emperor stretched out a finger: "Do you need Ben Di's help?" It only takes a few seconds to conjure up the look you want. ”

Tianmeng decisively rejected her: "Wow-no, no, no, that would be meaningless." ”

The Snow Emperor did not participate in the play between Tianmeng and the Ice Emperor, but asked, "Yu Hao, are you thinking that you are also qualified to sit on this chair?" ”

"The people of the Xu family sit on it and don't do anything, so don't blame others for pulling them down." Huo Yuhao snorted.

"In troubled times, those who can live in it."

His tone was very cold, full of contempt for the Sun and Moon royal family, and it seemed that it would not be long before the words in his mouth would become a reality.

The Ice Emperor paused and said, "This Emperor seems to know why you are bent on leaving your motherland, Xingluo, and coming to the Sun and Moon Empire. ”

Huo Yuhao was stunned, he didn't expect the Ice Emperor to suddenly say this: "Why? ”

The Ice Emperor replied, "Because you were born to rebel." Staying in Xingluo will make you unable to let go of your hands and feet for various reasons. ”

"And after coming to Sun and Moon, you don't have so many scruples, anyway, there is no one you care about in the Sun and Moon royal family, right?"

Huo Yuhao fell into a brief silence when he heard this, and then showed an intriguing smile in his expression that was invisible to outsiders.

"Because it's easier to destroy a thing than to create it, and it's much easier to rebel than to build, isn't it?"

"Let's go and see how the Sun Moon Emperor is doing."

A moment later.

Outside the Sun and Moon Emperor's bedchamber.

A Titled Douluo powerhouse slowly walked out of the dormitory.

The two guards waiting at the door immediately saluted respectfully: "Imperial Doctor." ”

This Titled Douluo was dressed in a white robe, with crane hair and a childish face, a ruddy complexion, and a goatee. He is the imperial doctor Douluo who is loyal to the Sun and Moon royal family, and every day he will come to the old emperor's bedroom to treat him.

Imperial Doctor Douluo bowed slightly, and commanded softly: "Your Majesty's body has improved a little today, and he has woken up, but he still needs to recuperate and take medicine on time." ”

"Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the other princes' requests for peace have all declined."

The two guards did not suspect him, and said respectfully: "Obey." ”

Imperial Doctor Douluo nodded again and walked back towards the Imperial Physician Palace.

In fact, few people in the palace knew that he was already a person close to the prince, and every time he would ask the old emperor to keep recuperating under the pretense of a doctor's order, and refused to meet the princes other than the prince to ask for peace.

The third prince often came to ask his father for peace, but he was always turned away and returned in vain.

Inside the dormitory.

On a couch made of wood of rare metal, half-reclining, an emaciated old man.

He is the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianran's father, and his own uncle who sought power and usurped the throne with Caitou.

A few years ago, Huo Yuhao had seen him at the royal banquet, but at that time, he was still physically able to perform toughly, but now he can't even hold on to simple support.

He was awake, but his eyes were still half-squinted, and the skin on his face was slightly dry and yellowish.

If outsiders see him now, they will definitely not think that he was a ruthless usurper when he was young, but only that he was an ordinary old man who was about to die.

The old emperor slowed down and let out a hoarse voice: "What time is it?" ”

A person next to him said with concern: "Your Highness, are you finally better?" ”

This person turned out to be a Title Douluo powerhouse, and looking at the badge on his chest, he turned out to be a ninth-level soul master.

Not only him, but there were also two ninth-level soul masters in the dormitory.

As the nominal supreme ruler of the Sun and Moon Empire today, the old emperor's safety was guaranteed to the highest extent.

In his dormitory, there were three ninth-level soul masters waiting day and night, and they were equipped with several large-scale ninth-level defensive soul guides.

The old emperor's body can't withstand the toss now, so even the aftermath of the battle will be resisted by these ninth-level defensive soul guides.

If an outsider intends to assassinate him, the worship in the worship hall not far away will also come at any time.

These three ninth-level soul masters are all henchmen of the old emperor, and in the process of seizing power, they have made great contributions, and they are the most trusted subordinates of the old emperor.

The old emperor gasped for a while on the couch, and said angrily: "I feel ...... I'm really dying. ”

The ninth-level soul master's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that your dragon body has begun to improve, you see that you have also woken up, haven't you?" ”

The old emperor wanted to shake his head, but at this moment he couldn't even shake his head slightly: "I know my body best, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter." ”

Another ninth-level soul master also comforted: "Your Majesty, Hugh is going to say it. ”

The old emperor continued, "I have seen this day a long time ago, but I still have a very important thing to do. I can only entrust it to the three of you. ”

The three of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

The old emperor struggled to open his eyes and slowly turned his head towards the three of them: "The Soul Master Contest has begun, right?" ”

One of them replied, "Yes, it's the second day." ”

The old emperor said: "After the Soul Master Contest is over, we will carry out the Zen ceremony and pass it on to Nature." ”

The old emperor's decision made the three strong men stunned.

"Your Majesty, have you really decided?"

The old emperor said weakly: "There is no Sun or Zihuang Heaven Destroying Dragon Martial Spirit worth cultivating in the other side systems. The third and fifth children are far worse than natural, and their mental means are far inferior to him, so they don't pose any threat to nature at all. ”

"I believe in nature, and I will definitely be able to lead the Sun and Moon Empire to completion, let the light of the Sun and Moon shine on the entire continent, and realize the lifelong wish of the ancestors of my Xu family."

Speaking of this, the old man's cloudy eyes burst into a burst of brilliance.

But soon, the brilliance in his eyes dimmed: "It's just that before that, I still have one more thing that I can't let go." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

The old emperor said: "My natural personality is very similar to that of me when I was young, but now that I am old, I don't want to see fratricidal things appear among my children. ”

"I hope that after he succeeds to the throne, he will not kill the third and fifth children."

The three ninth-level soul masters were silent together.

At the beginning, the old emperor colluded with the Holy Spirit Sect to wash the palace in blood and kill his imperial brother before he was able to usurp the throne. The three of their henchmen also made a contribution to it.

But now, he wants his sons not to kill each other.

Finally, a ninth-level soul master spoke: "Your Majesty, rest assured, after the crown prince ascends the throne, for the sake of the image of Renjun, he will naturally not attack the third prince and the fifth prince, and we will also coordinate secretly." ”

After receiving the affirmation of his confidants, the old emperor breathed a sigh of relief and showed a pleased smile: "Hehe, that's good." Alas, and the innocent girl, I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

Referring to the innocent princess in the old emperor's mouth, the three ninth-level soul masters also showed a relaxed smile.

This princess naturally doesn't need to worry, her father and brothers have given her full of pampering since she was a child.

The old emperor's condition seemed to be better again, and he began to chat with the three ninth-level soul masters about his memories of the past.

Unbeknownst to them, however, their conversations were all heard by an uninvited guest outside the dormitory.

Huo Yuhao leaned outside the dormitory, after Imperial Doctor Douluo left.

He struggled to manipulate his subtle mental power to probe, eavesdropping on the old emperor's conversation with the three henchmen. Not far from him, the two guards were not even aware at all.

Xue Di asked, "It seems that everything doesn't have to be so complicated, if you simply want to assassinate him, you can do it now." ”

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "There are too many defensive soul guides here that are too strong, and even spiritual defense soul guides are available, I don't think even if you and the Ice Emperor go together, you may not be able to do it." ”

Suddenly, he smiled and walked out of the dormitory.

"Want to succeed you? I don't think it's going to work. ”

Just as he had just left not far away, an unusually powerful aura suddenly came from the place in the imperial city that had been pitch black before.

This aura Huo Yuhao was very familiar with.

Extreme Douluo? It's the Supreme Master of the Holy Spirit Sect!

The other party seemed to have discovered his spiritual detection in an instant, and his incomparably strong spiritual power swept towards this side.

Huo Yuhao immediately put away his spiritual detection, and the figure in the simulation was no longer hidden, but quietly changed, revealing a dark and tall figure.

This appearance is completely the direct line of the Sun and Moon royal family, and there are many people in the imperial city who look like him.

An old man beside her frowned and said, "That's my royal junior, Ye Xishui, don't bully the small." ”

Only then did Ye Xishui dispel his suspicions, put away his terrifying spiritual power, and smiled.
