Traveling through time 10,000 years late, I was forced to become a powerful person

The solar eclipse phenomenon that opened in Fangcun Secret Realm has lasted for seven days.

Throughout the history of the Xuanhuang Realm, I have never seen such a long solar eclipse.

The people of Xuanhuang Realm also experienced shock at the beginning, panic in the middle, and finally getting used to it.

The seemingly terrifying seven-day solar eclipse actually did not have a serious impact on the people of the Xuanhuang Realm.

After experiencing various changes brought about by the spiritual energy tide, the people of the Xuanhuang Realm have become extremely receptive to such extraordinary phenomena.

Compared with the demon clan attacking the city and the rampage of ghosts, this solar eclipse phenomenon did not bring any real disaster except that the lack of sun made daily life inconvenient.

The only place in the entire Xuanhuang Realm that was deeply affected by the solar eclipse was the Imperial Capital of Daxia.

Daxia, the imperial capital.

The black hole formed by the entrance to the secret realm is still high in the sky. Under this black sun, tens of thousands of soldiers wearing rune armor are patrolling and guarding the imperial capital.

Weiwei He Shao, one of the Nine Qings, rode a spiritual beast mount and led a group of military practitioners to patrol the imperial city.

Seven days ago, as the Fang Cun Secret Realm opened, thousands of powerful practitioners broke through the blockade of the imperial capital formation and rushed into the Fang Cun Secret Realm.

Emperor Xia realized that this was an excellent opportunity, so he decisively ordered to mobilize the power of the entire dynasty in order to complete the re-establishment of the city gods before the end of the secret realm. In order to ensure that the lighting of the city god's incense could go smoothly, he took the initiative to cede the city god's position to the local powerful .

This crazy move aroused criticism from both the government and the public, but in the end it was Xia Di who overcame all the objections and unified the will of the government and the public.

Shortly after Emperor Xia's decree was sent out from the imperial city, an unexpected accident happened.

Hundreds of practitioners were eliminated by the Fangcun Secret Realm in the first hour and voluntarily withdrew from the secret realm trial.

Although the vast majority of cultivators are casual cultivators, the sudden appearance of so many cultivators still had a great impact on the entire imperial capital.

In particular, Emperor Xia wanted to take advantage of the many monks who went to the secret realm to plan to reestablish the city gods, but the sudden return of these monks ruined Emperor Xia's original plan.

After all, no one can tell whether there will be sect monks and god-refining masters who will return early in the future, which will affect the current overall situation.

Emperor Xia decisively ordered that the eight legions in Jingzhou enter the imperial capital and combine with the imperial capital formation to block the exit of Fangcun Secret Realm. Once any monks escape from the secret realm, they will be suppressed immediately.

In just one day, nearly half of the cultivators were eliminated and returned to the imperial capital, including many true disciples of the sect and disciples of aristocratic families. The intensity was far beyond Emperor Xia's expectations.

Just when everyone thought that the powerful men from the sect who would return later would destroy Emperor Xia's plan, suddenly no more testers left the Fangcun Secret Realm.

For six consecutive days, no one escaped from Fangcun Secret Realm. This made the Daxia court quickly relax and step up preparations for the restoration of Zhucheng Huang.

Within the imperial city, a ninety-five-foot-tall altar has been built. At the bottom of the altar, there are 3,650 incense burners enshrining Mingshen Dao incense, symbolizing the 3,650 incense burners in Daxia. A city god temple.

Most of the Mingshen Taoist incense in these incense burners have been lit. Wisps of green smoke rise from the incense burners to the top of the altar. The shadow of a temple made of gold appears and disappears amid the incense.

As time went by, the martial law in the imperial capital continued, and the remaining incense burners were lit one by one.

Standing under the altar, Xu Yankuan flipped through the City God's Book in his hand and solemnly checked the progress of lighting up the City God's temple one by one.

Pointing to a name on the City God's Book, Xu Yankuan said in a stern voice:

"Guyue County in Shangzhou was supposed to light incense three days ago, why has nothing happened yet?"

The incense order on the side responded quickly:

"Tai Chang, there are three major families in Guyue County, and the relationships behind them are complicated. They all want to compete for the ownership of the position of City God.

Although the City God's Office had ordered a decision to be made three days ago, the three families refused to give in and have yet to make a decision. "

Xu Yankuan glanced at the incense order and said in a cold voice:

"I remember that Guyue County is only a hundred miles away from the state capital. The three major families ignored His Majesty's order and ordered the state army to go to Guyue County to massacre the three major families.

As for the position of City God, it will be left to the disposal of the state army, and it must be arranged within three hours. "

All the Incense Orders and City God Envoys looked at Xu Yankuan in disbelief.

Then he lowered his head and responded respectfully:

"Follow Taichang's orders!"

"Except Guyue County, the same is true for other counties.

No matter what method I use, I need to see all the incense burners on the altar lit in three hours! "

After the words fell, Xu Yankuan held the City God Book and walked towards the depths of the palace.

After passing through the heavily guarded palace, Xu Yankuan stepped into the Yangxin Palace.

There is no light source in the Yangxin Hall. In the dim hall, Emperor Xia is sitting on the throne, staring at the black sun in the sky, seeming to be thinking about something.

Seeing this, Xu Yankuan bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, a total of 3,597 City God's Furnaces have been lit, and the remaining 53 City God's Furnaces are expected to be lit within three hours.

When the incense of the City Gods returns to their places, His Majesty only needs to ascend the altar and offer incense to the position of the Capital City God, so that all the City Gods in Daxia can be revived.

At that time, with the grand ceremony as the foundation, we will be able to connect with the Zhuchenghuang Incense Law Domain and regain control of the world's general trend! "

Having said this, Xu Yankuan's words contained a rare hint of excitement.

During the seven days of preparation for the grand ceremony, he and Emperor Xia used many unconventional means in order to promote the grand ceremony as quickly as possible.

The three major families in Guyue County are just an insignificant microcosm. In order to promote the incense of the City God, the state troops from various places caused countless killings in just seven days.

There were complaints both inside and outside the imperial capital, and from both the government and the public, and the major sects outside the imperial capital reacted even more fiercely.

If the powerful men of various sects had not entered the secret realm of Fangcun, and there were only some cultivators left in the sects stationed outside the imperial capital, I am afraid that the entire Jingzhou would have been in turmoil.

Under such circumstances of internal and external troubles, preparations for the grand ceremony were completed, and only Xu Yankuan himself knew the hardships involved.

On the throne, Xu Yankuan's words seemed to recall Emperor Xia's consciousness, and his deep eyes fell on Taichang, the head of the Nine Ministers, again.

"Preparations completed?"

Emperor Xia's words were filled with a sense of loss, and his eyes fell into a momentary absence.

"Xu Qing, do you think I really did something wrong by spending so much money just to prepare for the big ceremony?"

When Xu Yankuan heard this, he immediately became excited and quickly lowered his head.

Emperor Xia originally gave up his position as City God to the Yinsi and powerful parties in Daxia, which aroused considerable criticism from the courtiers.

In these days, in order to suppress the trialists who might leave the Fangcun Secret Realm, four major legions were mobilized to enter the imperial capital to impose martial law, and the state army massacred local families, which caused uproar in both the government and the public.

Even the ministers who had always supported Emperor Xia offered advice one after another, but were beaten back by Emperor Xia.

Even several ministers had a tough attitude, and the imperial envoys risked their lives to remonstrate, and were thrown into prison by Emperor Xia to await their fate, causing turmoil inside and outside the court.

And all this is just for the grand festival to go smoothly.

Under such an environment, even a proud Emperor Xia couldn't help but have a trace of doubt.

Regarding this topic, Xu Yankuan naturally did not dare to make rash suggestions.

Regardless of the fact that he now holds great power and can decide the life or death of a powerful family with just one word, his prestige is even higher than that of the Three Dukes.

Maybe Xu Yankuan knew that everything he had was just a castle in the air. Once this matter was over and Emperor Xia's attitude changed, his fate might not be any worse than those of the local wealthy families.

To preserve himself, he must be as careful as possible not to express any opinion on these matters.

Emperor Xia glanced at Xu Yankuan, who was silent, with a bit of displeasure in his eyes.

He naturally knew what Xu Yankuan was thinking, but he still needed to use this Taichang at the moment, so he didn't want to push him too hard.

The conversation changed and Emperor Xia asked Xu Yankuan:

"How is the progress of the interrogation of the monks who have withdrawn from the Fangcun Secret Realm?

Why didn't we see the tester exiting the secret realm again in the next six days? "

Xu Yankuan breathed a sigh of relief and responded quickly:

“After interrogation from all parties, it was found that the monks had nothing to hide regarding the rules of the secret realm.

However, in the past two days, when I was the last group of monks, I confirmed a piece of news from their mouths, that is, the Supreme Daozi was suspected of fighting with an unknown strong man in a secret realm.

During the fight, both the Supreme Daozi and the unknown strong man burst out with powerful strength beyond refining the gods. This last group of monks were affected by the fight between the two sides and chose to voluntarily withdraw from the trial in order to protect themselves. "

After hearing the name of the Supreme Taoist Master, Emperor Xia's eyes narrowed and he said:

"Where did the people who fought against Supreme Daozi come from? Do they know the outcome of the fight between the two sides?"

Xu Yankuan shook his head: "In the place where the two sides fought, even Master Lian Shen did not dare to set foot easily. Only some Qi training monks were affected, and the specific details were not clear.

However, judging from the feedback from all parties, the unknown strong man should be someone from the Ten Heavenly Cave Holy Lands. "

Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and sneered: "Since the last batch of practitioners voluntarily withdrew because the Supreme Taoist fought against an unknown strong man.

Maybe the fact that no trialists have withdrawn from the Fangcun Secret Realm in the future is also related to their fight. "

Having said this, Emperor Xia couldn't help but look happy with the points.

"Well done! Supreme Daozi finally helped me solve a big problem.

If the Supreme Daozi and the powerful men of the Cave Heaven Holy Land could be killed together, no one would be able to hinder the expansion of the Incense Domain. "

Xu Yankuan remained silent and did not express any opinions.

Seeing this, Emperor Xia felt a little bored in his eyes.

After waving towards Xu Yankuan, Emperor Xia said in a deep voice:

"Since the grand ceremony is about to begin, Xu Qing went to prepare as soon as possible, making sure that all the city god furnaces are lit on time."

"yes!"

Xu Yankuan held the City God Book in his hand, turned around and walked out of the Yangxin Hall.

As Xu Yankuan left, the light in the entire Yangxin Hall seemed to get darker.

Emperor Xia was still sitting on the throne, the shadow behind him was quietly moving with a strange rhythm, and a hoarse voice slowly sounded in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

"Has he discovered something?"

Emperor Xia casually picked up a secret letter on the table to sue Xu Yankuan and threw it into the brazier. He said with deep eyes:

"Xu Qing is a smart man, and things have come to this point and there is no room for withdrawal.

No matter what his wishes are, he will follow my will.

What's more, the grand ceremony has not yet begun, and it is necessary to use Xu Qing, the Taichang, to start the ceremony. "

The hoarse voice seemed to acquiesce to Emperor Xia's attitude and turned to say:

"There are still several unstable factors in the imperial capital."

"oh?"

"The ghosts and gods left behind in the Yin Si Mansion, the Qintian Supervisor who is unwilling to 'complicit', and your daughter."

Emperor Xia paused for a moment, then said indifferently:

"The ghosts and gods left behind at the Yin Si Mansion are only a few transformed gods. I have already dispatched three captains to guard around the mansion. They can be easily suppressed with just one order."

"Although Jian Zheng is unwilling to participate in this matter, he will not stand against me. After all, he is also one of the causes and effects."

"As for Xia Yunqiu, the Supreme Taoist who secretly supported her, ignited her fire of humanity, and gathered popularity for her, how could I not know his thoughts?

They just want to replace me with Xia Yunqiu and take charge of this destiny of humanity. "

Emperor Xia's eyes became colder and harsher.

Picking up a blank imperial edict on the desk, Emperor Xia took up writing.

With every word that fell, he could feel a turmoil in the fortune of the dynasty, but the movements in his hands did not stop at all.

"He Shao, the guard, is ordered to appear."

A moment later, He Shao, a guard wearing armor, strode into the Yangxin Hall.

"He Shao pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia casually threw the written edict in front of He Shao, his voice without any emotion:

"Tianxing Princess Xia Yunqiu secretly conspired with the sect to destroy the Capital God's Grand Ceremony, shaking the foundation of the dynasty and the destiny of humanity."

"It is my decree to deprive Xia Yun of the title of Princess Xia Yun Qiuxing and give her a glass of poisonous wine.

If there is any resistance, kill them on the spot! "

Hearing this, He Shao suddenly raised his head and looked at the cold-looking emperor on the throne.

As a witness to the Yin Division Alliance meeting, He Shaoke had seen with his own eyes how Xia Yunqiu turned the tide and fought for Daxia's interests.

But for such a princess who had made great contributions to Daxia, she ended up with a glass of poisonous wine, which made He Shao feel a chill in his heart.

"He Weiwei?"

Emperor Xia's voice sounded again. He Shao's body trembled and then he gritted his teeth and said:

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

Holding the imperial edict respectfully, He Shao turned around and strode away from the Yangxin Hall.

As He Shao left, the hoarse voice sounded again.

"This Weiwei He obviously doesn't want to take action against Xia Yunqiu. If you send him there, aren't you afraid of letting Xia Yunqiu go?"

Emperor Xia shook his head.

"He Shao's role is only to convey the imperial edict as Jiuqing and deprive her of her title. Xia Yunqiu possesses the fire of humanity and cannot be easily killed with a piece of imperial edict.

I will not give her any chance to escape, so you will personally take action to kill Xia Yunqiu. "

The husky figure seemed a little surprised, and then let out a sarcastic chuckle.

"I will obey His Majesty's will!"
