The northernmost part of the castle is shrouded in haze all year round, and it is the forbidden place of the entire royal city.

Under the haze there is a pool of clear water, called 'Mochou Lake', which is said to be formed by the accumulation of tears.

A huge stone turtle lies in the middle of Mochou Lake like a small island.

The stone turtle is very strange, it is actually a dragon head, a turtle body, and a snake tail. Its huge head was raised high as if it were looking up to the sky and roaring, and a huge tower was hunched on its broad back.

The whole tower is dozens of zhang high, divided into nine floors from top to bottom, each layer has a different structure, and is extremely solid. Because the tower body is protected by a formation, the sword and gun cannot be damaged, and the magic cannot be broken.

Huge chains hung from the eaves of the tower, firmly fastened to the back of the stone turtle, and runes flickered on them from time to time.

Around the giant tower, there are eight stone platforms of different sizes and shapes, which are suspended around the tower according to a specific orientation.

This is the Chaoge City Lock Spirit Tower. Legend has it that an unusually powerful beast thousands of years ago, the City of the Calamity, was sealed in this Lock Spirit Tower.

At this time, there were several people standing on the shore of Mochou Lake. They were dressed in strong suits, and the spiritual power on their bodies was surging, and they were distributed around in a fan shape, tightly guarding the four of them.

Three of them are Hu Nanyan, Hu Youer and Wu Shaoyuan. There is another young man, about ten years old, at first glance, it looks like he is carved out of a mold, with thin eyes, a high nose, and a wide mouth. It's just that he is younger than Yan, and he has less of a king's spirit and more elegance, which makes people feel closer.

I saw that the young man first bowed slightly towards Hu Nanyan, and then looked at Wu Shaoyuan, who was full of entanglement.

"Patriarch Wu, are you still thinking about my third brother?"

Wu Shaoyuan turned around and raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes flickering, obscure.

This young man is none other than the eldest prince Ji Xian. Two days ago, Hu Nanyan took Ji Xian to Chaoyang Valley in person and told him that Ji Wu had reached an alliance with the Tu Shan clan.

And the Tu Shan clan and the Shui clan are now one because of Shui Hao. This also means that Ji Ru and Ji Wu have also formed an alliance.

Thinking of all this, he actually learned from Ji Xian, an outsider, that Wu Shaoyuan only felt that all thoughts were discouraged, and the pain was deep to the bone.

Is there really no eternal friend or eternal enemy in this world, as long as there are eternal interests?

But he is Ji Wu's grandfather! The funny thing is that these are worthless in front of the king. The sacrifice failed, and the Wu clan suffered heavy losses, and it no longer had enough strength to assist Ji Wu in fighting for the throne.

Looking at Ji Xian in front of him, Wu Shaoyuan was even more jealous in his heart. He didn't want to be involved anymore, but ......

"Patriarch Wu can rest assured, as long as I am the king, the Wu clan will definitely prosper, and I will not exterminate the second and third brothers. My surname Ji has been sitting in Qingqiu Zeguo for hundreds of years, and the succession of thrones has always been fratricidal, but it will definitely end in my place. Ji Xian's calm voice revealed an unquestionable decisiveness.

"A man doesn't have a good thing, and what he says is good, it will have to wait until you successfully ascend to the throne. Hu Youer snorted disapprovingly.

"Oh, do you think that with our strength, we are still inferior to those two clans?"

"Don't call me You'er. Hu Youer's eyebrows were slanted, and she spoke coldly, her long and charming eyes were full of a cold glow that was thousands of miles away.

She looked at Ji Xian, and the disgust in her eyes was unconcealed.

"Do you think that with your grandmother and the Wu clan, plus a few of us, you can overcome the alliance between the two clans?"

Ji Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to refute, but Hu Nanyan preemptively said: "You'er is right, Prince Xian can't be careless." That Shui Zhize is a mid-level Divine Master, Tu Shan Qingyun is a high-level Divine Master, and Patriarch Wu and I are also at this level. ”

"The Tu Shan clan is mainly based on defensive magic, and the same is true of Shui Zhize's talent magic water imperial circulation, how can the two of them be against the two patriarchs who have a trembling long attack?"

Ji Xian had obviously worked hard in the dark these days, but the Tu Shan clan rarely participated in the Wangcheng disputes, and their information was only 'good at defense'.

"Mainly defensive magic, referring to the former mages of the Tushan Clan. Once they reach the rank of Divine Master, they will master the 'Phoenix Winged Sky Flight', which is a powerful and wide-ranging magic. Hu Nanyan's face was solemn, and his voice was extremely low.

Wu Shaoyuan thought deeply on the side, thinking that Sanying had relied on this magic to break the barrier in the sky above Chaoyang Valley. It was also at that time that he knew that the Tu Shan clan, who had reached the rank of divine master, was so terrifying.

"But the Hu family's divine envoy skills and divine master skills have always been the nemesis of those two clans, so why should the Nanyan patriarch grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige. Ji Xian didn't care. In the competition for the throne in previous dynasties, most of the princes supported by the Hu family won, not to mention Wu Shaoyuan.

"No, now they can take it. Hu Nanyan sighed lightly and said astringently.

"Patriarch Nanyan is really good at telling jokes. Ji Ru laughed dryly, and suddenly saw that Hu Nanyan's face was even more solemn, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he exclaimed: "How is this possible!"

Wu Shaoyuan also looked at Hu Nanyan in disbelief, he knew very well the terrifying skills of the Hu family's divine envoys and divine masters.

"All this is because of a young man named Shui Hao. ”

"Shui Hao, that kid from the Shui Yi clan who joined the Tu Shan clan, although I don't know why the Tu Shan clan took him as the patriarch, but his rank is only worthy of the high level of the Divine Master. ”

"I advise you not to have such thoughts, but whoever underestimates him will eventually suffer a great loss at his hands. Seeing that Ji Xian despised Shui Hao, Hu Youer couldn't help but speak.

Miss You'er laughed. He's not even a god. And what can be done?"

"No, You're right. Shui Hao's Tibetan Spirit is a mermaid, a special mermaid. His innate magic has the ability to purify blood and evil qi, and it is the nemesis of my Hu family's magic skills, regardless of rank. ”

Wu Shaoyuan was stunned, he had never seen Shui Hao make a move. At the beginning of Chaoyang Valley, because of the absorption of star power, Shui Hao could not use magic.

Ji Xian was even more unbearable, and he poked there in a daze like a piece of wood.

The inside of the Locked Spirit Tower is affected by the prohibition, which will block a person's spiritual power, but the outside of the tower is not affected by this.

Ji Xian's original intention was to rely on the high-level power of the two divine masters, Hu Nanyan and Wu Shaoyuan, to block Ji Ru and Ji Xian from the Lock Spirit Tower, but now all this has come to naught.

And once the fight starts, it is likely that he will be cleaned up. Thinking of this, cold sweat flowed down Ji Xian's forehead involuntarily.

There was a noise, and a team of people seemed to fall from the sky and appeared in the eyes of Ji Xian and others.

The people who came were all riding strange beasts, dressed differently, and most of them were dressed in the costumes of the water tribe. Two of them are the most eye-catching. One person is burly, with big shoulders and a round waist, carrying a thick wooden staff on his shoulder, and the strange beast under his crotch is also abnormal; the other person is a young man, with a touch of handsomeness in his facial features, and a touch of gentleness in his handsomeness, and he is more ethereal and handsome when he straddles the beast.

The young man, the second prince Ji Ru, and the third prince Ji Wu were surrounded by everyone in the center and galloped from a distance.

Mochou Lake, which was originally silent, suddenly became noisy because of the crowd that poured in.

Ji Xian looked at the person who came and secretly thought, and inadvertently swept towards Hu You'er, seeing that he was stunned and looked at the young man in the distance, his expression was in a trance, and his eyes were complicated and inexplicable.

"Could it be that the boy is Shui Hao?

That's right, too, in Yingshui Village, you must be old acquaintances!"

Ji Xian's voice was full of vinegar, but Hu You'er turned a deaf ear and said softly: "The lonely shadow of the cold mountain, the old man of Yingshui, why should we have met before!"

"Big brother, it's been a long time. Ji Ru and Ji Wu broke away from everyone, came to Ji Xian's face, turned over and stepped off the beast.

While speaking, everyone gathered and saluted. Only Ji Wu stood aside in a daze, looking at Wu Shaoyuan's eyes full of panic and guilt.

"Presumably this is the Tushan Patriarch. The name is thunderous. Ji Xian stepped forward and stood between Hu Youer and Shui Hao.

"I heard that the patriarch of Tushan was originally a son of the Shui clan, and the Tibetan spirit is not filled with birds but mermaids. ”

"I really envy the third brother! I actually got the support of the Tu Shan patriarch. ”

Shui Hao looked blankly at Ji Xian, who was chattering in front of him, and he saw deep hostility in the other party's eyes.

"Brother, this kid seems to have thoughts about foxes, but foxes mean to you. Twilight whispered in Shui Hao's ear.

Shui Hao couldn't help but glance at Twilight.

Ji Xian didn't talk to Shui Hao when he saw it, and he didn't care, as long as Hu Youer couldn't see Shui Hao.

His gaze swept over Ji Ru and Ji Wu's faces again: "Second brother, third brother, how should we fight." ”

"Of course, according to the rules set by my father. Ji Wu was taken aback and blurted out.

"You are united by the strength of the two clans, and the eldest brother is willing to bow down. It's just that how should the second and third brothers divide this throne? I don't know which of my younger brothers is supported by Patriarch Tushan?"

At this moment, Ji Ru's face turned pale, his hands clenched into fists, because he was too hard, his palms were already bloodstained, but he didn't realize it, and he only hated Ji Xuan in his heart.

If it weren't for Ji Xuan's stimulation of the royal family's blood order, why would he wipe her out in front of Shui Hao with his own hands, and he wouldn't be hated by Shui Hao because of this.

Ji Xian saw it in his eyes, and his heart suddenly changed.

He couldn't help but look at Ji Ru and said, "The three sons take the heir, and only one of them remains." This has been true for generations. Can you bear to watch your children and grandchildren continue to kill each other?"

"But if we don't do this, how will my father explain it?" Ji Ru was stunned, as if he had lost his soul, as if he had accepted his fate.

It is recorded in the "Anecdotes" that three sons survived and the throne was replaced. Have you ever heard that after ascending the throne, which of the first kings walked out of the Lock Spirit Tower?"

Ji Xian's words were like a nightmare, surrounding Ji Ru's heart. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Huo Ran raised his head, and his eyes regained their brightness.

He grabbed Ji Xian with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, ......what do you mean?"

Ants are still stealing life, why don't people spare their lives?

Ji Hyun didn't answer Ji Ru, but looked at Shui Hao.

"Patriarch Tushan, what do you think?"
