Chapter 213: Preparation for Sacrifice to Heaven
In the Golden Bell Hall.
The expressions of the Fire Emperor and Princess Yan Yang were extremely ugly, and the civil and military officials in the hall didn't even dare to breathe, the entire hall appearing very oppressive and quiet.
The Fire Emperor was full of killing intent, accompanied by powerful pressure, permeating the entire hall!
"Father Emperor..." Princess Yan Yang spoke softly, "Perhaps, things are not as bad as we imagined. Perhaps the Imperial Qi of the ancestors has not been destroyed, it could be that Xu Que moved the formation!"
Upon hearing this, the Fire Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Not bad, that restriction is so powerful, with that little bastard's cultivation, it's absolutely impossible to destroy it. We don't need to be so nervous until the last step!"
Speaking of this, the Fire Emperor's gaze swept toward the outside of the hall, took a deep breath, a ruthless look flashed across his face, and he whispered: "Yan Yang, now that things have reached this point, the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony must be brought forward!"
"Father Emperor, this..." Princess Yan Yang was shocked on the spot, opening her mouth to speak.
"No need to say more, I understand what you mean, but now this is the only way. Lady Ya's perfect body for so many years is finally going to be offered to the Fire God."
The Fire Emperor waved his hand to interrupt Princess Yan Yang's words, and said in a deep voice, "I suspect that perhaps it is because the dragon vein is declining that the national fortune has been affected, and even the Imperial Tomb was luckily broken into by that Zha Tian Bang boy, so Sacrifice to Heaven is our best choice now."
In the Fire Emperor's view, the reason why he had been beaten by Xu Que one after another was not because of a lack of strength and foundation, but because his luck was bad!
National fortune represents the lifespan of the Fire Yuan Kingdom, and also represents the prosperity and decline of their Ji family!
As long as the national fortune remains strong, the Ji family cannot be destroyed. Conversely, if the national fortune is exhausted, then no matter what they do, luck will always be on the enemy's side.
Therefore, the Fire Emperor believed that the national fortune symbolized by the dragon vein was closely related to his own life!
As long as Lady Ya, who has a perfect body, is offered as a sacrifice to the Fire God, the dragon vein's power will instantly become prosperous, preserving the Fire Yuan Kingdom's national fortune from declining, and then no matter what, he cannot possibly perish!
"Go and prepare, send someone to take Lady Ya to the Imperial Tomb Altar. Once I finish the Sacrifice to Heaven, summon the Fire God's protection, reconsolidate the national fortune, and condense the Imperial Qi, that Xu Que will definitely die without a doubt!"
The Fire Emperor waved his hand slightly, making a decision, which was equivalent to giving an order to Princess Yan Yang.
Princess Yan Yang opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't refute.
In fact, she just felt a bit unbearable. After all, Lady Ya was her aunt, who had watched her grow up and loved her very much. Now that she had to watch her become a sacrifice, it was somewhat difficult to take action!
But now that things had reached this point, she also knew there was no other way, and could only sacrifice Lady Ya to preserve the entire Fire Yuan Kingdom and preserve everything of the Ji family!
"Yan Yang understands, I will take people to pick up Lady Ya now!" Princess Yan Yang made a choice, very decisively, and turned to leave.
Zi Xuan had been listening from the side, but she was not a member of the Ji family, nor did she belong to the Fire Yuan Kingdom. She had no qualifications to interrupt in such a major matter and had been keeping silent, following Princess Yan Yang away.
The two left, and the Fire Emperor continued to sit on the dragon throne, his eyes narrowed slightly, taking a deep breath, and began to close his eyes to rest.
The civil and military officials in the hall also didn't dare to speak, just standing there in silence.
But the festive and cheerful music outside the palace still spread in without interruption.
Some civil officials couldn't bear this kind of noisy music, very impatient, and couldn't learn from the Fire Emperor to calm their minds, so they could only stand there gritting their teeth, feeling irritable in their hearts.
'What kind of shitty music, and what most beautiful cloud, ethnic wind, it's completely incomprehensible.'
'Eh?'
'Actually changed the song?'
'You are my little apple?'
'Vulgar, too vulgar, such inferior lyrics, and dare to sing so loudly, it's truly shameless, completely uncultured!'
'Eh?'
'Switched again!'
'Fahai, you don't understand love? The Leifeng Pagoda will fall down?'
Pfft!
Many civil officials almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
'Trash, too trash, these lyrics are simply hard to look at!'
The civil officials all secretly slandered, full of impatience, shaking their heads with extreme disdain.
However, many military generals in the hall were excited, their eyes shining brightly. If it weren't for the Fire Emperor being here, I'm afraid this group of big men in the army would have shown off their crazy dance moves to vent.
They all listened to the singing, the more they listened, the more they liked it.
'You are my little apple, how can I love you enough? Awesome, these lyrics are simply perfect, straightforward and refreshing, and catchy, most suitable for singing to women.'
'Unlike those self-righteous scholars, muttering some incomprehensible lyrics all day long, can't even understand them, twisting and turning, where is there any masculinity left? Love should be shouted out loud like this!'
'Yo, changed the song!'
'Fahai, you don't understand love, the Leifeng Pagoda will fall down?'
'Strong, too strong, these lyrics sound like a master's style at first listen, and you know it's a story!'
'It must be about a hero who was abandoned by a Fahai who didn't understand love, so in a fit of rage, he knocked down a pagoda!'
Civil and military officials held diametrically opposite attitudes toward Xu Que's divine songs, but what couldn't be denied was that their minds were all on listening to Xu Que's songs!
Whether criticizing or praising, they were all listening, and their soul power was being affected step by step!
A civil official at the Infant Transformation Stage was dazed, walked away inadvertently, moved by the music, and hummed along: "How lonely is invincibility, how..."
"Eh?" The Fire Emperor, who had been silent, suddenly opened his eyes.
Terrifying pressure surged out, instantly waking up the official who had accidentally hummed out loud.
But the Fire Emperor didn't intend to let it go like this. He pretended to be calm on the surface, but in reality, he was also annoyed by Xu Que's divine songs, and simply wanted to kill someone!
Now someone in his own court was actually humming along? This is truly unreasonable!
The Fire Emperor's tiger-like eyes suddenly swept toward the civil and military officials below, and he shouted angrily: "Who is singing?"
As a result, before everyone could speak.
The music outside the palace happened to switch, and following that, Xu Que's cheap-sounding singing also came in.
"Who is singing,
Warming the loneliness!
The white clouds are drifting, the blue sky is still there, tears are drifting..."
"..."
All the officials immediately held back their expressions of wanting to spray laughter.
This... isn't this too coincidental?
The Fire Emperor just shouted "Who is singing", and Xu Que happened to come up with such a song. If you didn't know, you would think the two were singing across the air.
However, this was really a coincidence.
Xu Que had long ago lent a portion of his soul to the system, which was automatically controlled by the system, playing several divine songs in a loop.
But at this moment, his real body had already fought with dozens of Heavenly Fiend assassins!
Those huge black flame wings set him off like a demonic god.
Using his bare fists to fight hard against the assassins, spells overflowing, he was brave and incomparable in the air.
The Empress watched this scene, and for a moment, she was somewhat lost... ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
