Chapter 320

The Prince of Shun fell onto the ruins of the Jingtai Hall, and with a wave of his hand, countless precious vessels turned to dust, and beams flew out.

A moment later, a figure in a dragon robe, with flesh and blood, appeared before their eyes.

It was indeed a flesh-and-blood body.

The blood that flowed out was also real.

But in the eyes of the several Yuan Shen True Persons, it was especially discordant.

At first glance, that blood looked similar, but in essence, it was condensed from a trace of Tai Xu True Intent.

It was merely close to the concept of "blood," but not real blood.

"How dare you toy with this Prince?"

The Prince of Shun's eyes flared with great anger.

With a casual gesture, a ball of flame incinerated the corpse of the "Jingwu Heavenly Son" to ashes.

He swept his vast Yuan Shen divine sense through the depths of the imperial city, his immense Yuan Shen divine sense like a storm enveloping the entire imperial city inside and out, frantically searching.

At the same time, with a wave of his hand, puppet Dao soldiers flew out from his hand, heading in all directions to search.

What angered the Prince of Shun, Jin Chen Old Ancestor, Hou Yang Old Ancestor, Qinghe True Lord, and Yuanhua True Lord was that within the vast imperial palace, most of the concubines, guards, and princes were "fake people"!

A Yuan Shen True Person had used illusion techniques to secretly replace the emperor inside and outside the palace, and had "fooled" everyone with the numerous consorts.

This made the five of them fly into a rage.

Jin Chen Old Ancestor's gaze swept over the countless dwellings in Haojing City, his eyes flashing with a stern chill, and he said in a deep voice: "It's merely a delaying tactic; within such a short time, the Jingwu Heavenly Son could not have escaped too far, and he still possesses the dragon soul!

Prince of Shun, find a way to dig him out!

We few will seal off Haojing City!"

He summoned the other three Dao-Uniting True Lords, and at this moment, the four of them also became truly enraged.

Hou Yang Old Ancestor, with some anger on his face, merely waved his hand and flung out the Five-Colored Divine Peak from his hand; five-colored light fell upon the city gates, forming a Five-Colored Dharma Realm, temporarily suppressing the surroundings of Haojing City.

At the same time, the other three True Lords rushed straight toward the forbidden area of the Dongshen Observatory.

At this moment, in the city, only above the forbidden area of the Dongshen Observatory was the Pure Bright Daoist still performing the spell to maintain the magical seal.

In the Zhang family residence, the Slaying Demon True Lord looked at Zhang Jian Dao.

"Are you inviting disaster upon yourself?"

Zhang Jian's gaze fluctuated; at this moment, streams of light flowed around him like all rivers returning to the sea.

Seeing this, his eyes rippled with faint waves, and he smiled.

"When the matter comes to a head, after all, I still feel compassion; my disciple, at least, is also one of the Nine Ministers of Great Qian—do your best, and this too can be considered fulfilling my own Dao-heart's clarity!"

At this moment, having comprehended the 《Dream Wanderings of Tai Xu》 to the Pure Yang level, it exerted tremendous profundity.

With a single thought, he transformed myriad beings.

If it were not for the Jingwu Heavenly Son's identity being too special, these several Yuan Shen True Persons before him might not have detected him in such a short time.

However, being able to delay for this length of time is already his limit.

He does not worry that these Dao-Uniting True Lords could thereby discover his whereabouts.

The 《Dream Wanderings of Tai Xu》's virtual-real transformations, with a single thought shaping myriad things, make it very hard for anyone to grasp its source.

Moreover, he still possesses an innate divine ability, the Golden Lotus Latent Breath Technique; if he deliberately conceals himself, no one can find his whereabouts.

At this moment, accompanied by the sounds of slaughter from within the palace, the entire Haojing City inside and out seemed to have come to a boil.

Countless chaos arose from within the city.

Not a few ill-intentioned individuals also mixed into the night, trying to fish in troubled waters.

In the Black-Clothed Guard Office, Zhao Hu was busy and flustered, only able to constantly dispatch the Black-Clothed Guards to try to pacify the city's populace, while also protecting the city's civil and military officials.

But the chaos within the palace could not be stopped.

Inside the palace, an additional gate appeared, from within which countless Dao soldiers in black armor continuously poured out, killing anyone they saw, and the Black-Clothed Guards could not extinguish them.

At this moment, above Haojing City, two more figures broke through the void and appeared.

They were two female cultivators dressed in splendid attire; one wore all gold and leaned on a dharma staff, while the other was a lovely maiden in purple robes; the two female cultivators gazed down at the chaotic imperial city below, their expressions calm.

Gazing at this scene, the Golden Light Holy Mother smiled and said: "Xin Daoist, you may go on your way!"

Upon hearing this, the purple-clad lovely maiden smiled faintly, and her figure also turned toward the observatory platform of the Dongshen Observatory.

"The Dongshen Observatory has guarded Great Qian for five hundred years, and the good things it has gathered are not few; naturally, we cannot miss them!"

The Golden Light Holy Mother lightly nodded.

Yet her figure went straight toward the Great Qian Heavenly Prison.

……

At this moment, within the forbidden law of the Dongshen Observatory, the Jingwu Heavenly Son and the Qi Empress stood together, with part of the imperial consorts from the harem, as well as various princes and princesses, beside them.

After receiving Zhang Jian's warning, the Jingwu Heavenly Son immediately entered the forbidden area of the Dongshen Observatory to avoid danger.

Liang Shiwu kept bringing various bad news from outside at this moment.

Many consorts and princes changed their expressions one by one; not a few beautiful consorts had a hint of fear on their faces.

At this moment, the Jingwu Heavenly Son looked toward the Qi Empress beside him. "Empress, are you afraid?"

The Qi Empress's lovely face instead became calm at this moment; she gently stroked her abdomen, her eyes holding a hint of darkness, yet she shook her head and said.

"This concubine is not afraid, only Your Majesty, this concubine is unwilling!"

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside, yet it was seen that the Pure Bright Daoist hurried in from outside.

He was in a sorry state, with faint traces of blood tears hidden in his eyes; the palace had been breached, the dragon aura backlash had arrived, and he had also just suffered injuries.

"National Teacher? Is there any way to block those bandits?"

Seeing the Pure Bright Daoist enter, the Jingwu Heavenly Son's eyes flashed with a hint of hope.

The Jingwu Heavenly Son's eyes likewise shone with a hint of intense unwillingness.

The Great Qian royal family has paid such a huge price, and with great difficulty they have cultivated this supreme treasure—immortality is already within reach.

How could Emperor Jingwu possibly give it up?

Upon hearing this, Daoist Jingming's eyes flickered with a hint of darkness, yet at this moment Daoists Dongzhen, Dongxuan, Dongxiao, and Dongjue also hurried over, followed by more than ten young disciples of the Dongshen Guan.

These young disciples were each still trembling with fear!

Daoist Jingming's gaze swept over them, but instead his expression remained calm as he shook his head and said.

"There's nothing we can do!"

With so many powerful beings descending, even if the Dongshen Guan exhausts all its foundations, it cannot hold out for long.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingwu, the consorts, and the many cultivators of the Dongshen Guan all turned deathly pale.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, the rumbling outside grew increasingly dense, accompanied by thunderclaps that made people's hearts tremble even more!

At this moment, Consort Chen stepped forward and could not help but demand loudly: "National Preceptor, how is this possible? Your Dongshen Guan possesses vast divine powers—how could there be no solution?"

Emperor Jingwu could not help but grab Daoist Jingming's shoulder and said.

"National Preceptor, think again!"

Immediately, Emperor Jingwu shouted loudly.

"Does Master Zhang also have no solution?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Jingming shook his head. Faced with so many Heaven-Uniting True Lords staring him down, Zhang Jian can hardly protect himself—how could he possibly still have a way to save everyone?

To unleash a single divine soul immortal art to help buy time—perhaps the other side has already invited trouble for doing so.

"Mother consort, I'm scared!"

At this moment, a young child began to sob softly.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Jingwu's eyes flashed with anger.

Boom—rumble—rumble!

But just then, a tremendous roar suddenly came from above.

Daoist Jingming looked upward—the Dongshen Guan's Dongshen divine prohibition outside was also shattered!
