Chapter 491 Entering the Palace
A team was marching quickly through the misty Xuanjing.
On the way, other noisy sounds could be heard from afar. Xuanjing was destined not to be peaceful today.
Qi Yang was a little uneasy along the way.
"Taoist, have you predicted something bad?" Xu Chen asked curiously, looking at Qi Yang's expression.
"No, in Xuanjing, the dragon energy is at the top. How dare I make random calculations with my limited skills? I'm afraid I'll be attacked back. I'm just worried about my compatriots in Liuqing Palace."
Although they were already a marginalized clan, and Qi Yang had been out there for the past few years, he had lost touch with people and wasn't particularly popular to begin with, so when he came back he barely even greeted the palace.
But after all, that was the place where I was raised, and even if my master passed away early, this relationship cannot be severed.
"If you're worried, you can go back by yourself." Barolan said ruthlessly from the side.
Qi Yang felt even more embarrassed when he heard this.
He didn't have the courage to go looking for him alone. The Demon Suppression Division had sent out a lot of people to fight against Jixue. Jixue was just an external force, while Liuqing Palace was one of the core members of the Blood Alliance, so it must have been hit hard.
With Qi Yang's current level, it would be a drop in the bucket for him to return.
Barolan glanced at him with disdain, having long been accustomed to his behavior.
Qi Yang had a complicated expression.
"We've been discovered." At this time, a blood sacrificer lowered his voice to remind.
It was not surprising. Although the authorities were in chaos, Xuanjing's garrison manpower was beyond imagination. It was natural that their action of sacrificing so many people would be noticed.
"Who are you? Illegal gatherings are strictly prohibited in Xuanjing. All of you must stay here for investigation!" The people from the Demon Suppression Division walked out of the mist like ghosts. What was special was that all of them had their faces covered.
Whoosh!
A black shadow suddenly flashed through the mist, and the man who had just spoken was smashed into a pulp as the shadow passed by. The person who replaced him was naturally Anti, who was wearing a flying fish suit that was very similar to the one in the Demon Suppression Division.
He wears a veiled hat and has an elegant figure, but his methods are extremely cruel.
"Who are you……!"
A flash of blood appeared, and the heads of the Demon Suppression Division flew up into the sky. The blood condensed into a blood blade on the handle in Anti's hand, and the blade flashed again. The rest of the Demon Suppression Division retreated to avoid the sharp edge.
"A demon from the underworld!"
"Be careful! He's an expert!"
The blood knife turned in Anti's hand and then he held it in reverse and slashed forward.
The blinding red color dazzled their eyes.
When they regained their sight, Anti had already appeared at the end of the street, behind the group of demon-suppressing officers. He put the knife back into his body, disappeared around the corner of the street like a walk, and continued walking forward.
The people offering blood at the back were stunned for a moment, and then they saw that all the people from the Demon Suppression Division in front of them were instantly turned into a blur of flesh and blood, and the street suddenly became a pool of blood.
It can be seen that these people's bodies have undergone abnormal changes, probably because they received rewards from the palace.
But it doesn't matter. The blood sacrificer has no objection to sucking strange blood or even becoming strange in appearance.
Here on Xuan Shang's side, we are still discussing the differences between demons, orthodoxy, and so on.
Most of them are just a group of people chasing the power in blood.
They were originally taken over by a marginal figure in the organization, Barolan, and said that they would be packed up and sent to another person, and they were still uneasy. But now they find that this new boss is a "killer god"!
Following behind this boss, there is definitely no shortage of powerful blood!
Everyone enjoyed it and became more determined to follow Anti's footsteps.
In the distance, the outline of the imperial city wall was faintly visible in the rain, and it was getting closer.
Before they got close, they heard a loud muffled sound coming from the imperial city in the distance. The sound spread far away in Xuanjing before being drowned out by the sound of the dripping rain.
When they arrived, they found that the gate of the imperial city, which they had originally planned to break into, had been blasted open. Anti looked around at the gap and saw many corpses in the surrounding ruins, including those of the Demon Suppression Division, the Imperial Guards, and various people from the underworld.
There is a strong smell of qi and blood; a great battle just broke out here.
"It seems that the people of the Blood Alliance are more decisive and wise at critical moments." Barolan followed up.
Obviously, although the Blood Alliance was in turmoil, they had expected this kind of time to come after many people with ulterior motives withdrew.
Maybe the blood alliance already existed and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a final move, steal another home and strike back at the imperial court.
But if you think about it this way, it would be a bit tragic for Sacrifice Blood, because according to the idea of this plan, they were undoubtedly abandoned as bait without receiving any notification.
Now the Blood Alliance has even broken into the palace before Anti and his men.
There were a lot of footsteps coming from all around.
"Let's go, follow us." Anti said.
They followed the aura of blood and energy left by the Blood Alliance.
After entering here, the blood sacrifices led by Barolan began to lead the way for Anti. They had been here once before and had some experience.
The complete palace is naturally vast and huge, not to mention that it is in this supernatural mixed dream world, the conditions are higher and better. This Xuanshang Red Palace has also served as the palace of many emperors of the Great Xuan Dynasty. After generations of repairs, its current scale has reached an astonishing level.
Having said so much, the summary is: it will make Anti get lost.
Barolan sent people out to explore the way. Although they had been here once, it was still someone else's territory, and they could not make the mistake of empiricism.
The Source of Bone and Blood, who followed Barolan closely, became more and more agitated after entering the imperial city.
"Is it all right?"
"No problem, for now."
"If there is any problem, let me kill it and make some money." Anti looked at the source of bone and blood again.
The Source of Bone and Blood trembled, and his fierce eyes became dull again.
This thing isn't actually that stupid.
"Let's go directly to the Lingshan Imperial Mausoleum." Anti collected his thoughts and said to Barolan.
Barolan nodded and responded: "Lingshan is in the northwest corner of the palace. To get there directly, you have to go through the imperial garden. I don't know where the old emperor is. It would be best if the people of the Blood Alliance could lure him over there."
Since the Blood Alliance wants to use blood sacrifice as bait, it would be best to let them attract some hatred now.
As Barolan spoke, he obtained information about the surrounding area from the members who were taking a walk to offer blood through drops of blood.
They played it safe and didn't encounter too many problems along the way.
However, Barolan and Qi Yang couldn't help but frown.
"Something's wrong. Why have we only seen people from the Demon Suppression Division and the Imperial Guards in such a long time? The last time I came here, there were many people from the noble families gathered here. Although they have all changed beyond recognition and it is hard to tell that they are still human." Qi Yang took the initiative to explain to An Ti.
It couldn't be that they were all attracted away by the blood alliance that came in front, and they sucked them away so cleanly?
Anti looked at the outline of the undulating hills in the distance, which should be Lengshan Mountain.
"The court distributed the meat, but also brought back those whose meat had mutated them. There must be a reason," said Anti. "No matter who they were, even if they were the Demon Suppression Division, the army, the nobles, or even the emperor, they must have eaten the meat of Tai Sui."
Qi Yang thought for a moment and said, "Is this meat a kind of... investment?"
"You'll know when you see that thing." Anti shrugged. It was just a guess.
Suddenly, Xu Chen looked up and wiped his rain-soaked face: "By the way, is the rain getting heavier?"
