Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 351 The battle situation has been decided
Emperor Tianxing stood on top of Pill Pill, watching Zhao Changying disappear in front of him completely without warning, the expression on his face remained unchanged, like a majestic and emotionless statue.

In the course of the battle just now, he used one against two, and in an understatement, he played with two strong men with strength above that of a saint.

All the guards and palace servants who witnessed this battle all lamented in their hearts—even if the gods descended to earth, they could not be more majestic than the emperor at this time.

However, no one noticed that after Emperor Tianxing chopped off Zhao Changying's body with golden lightning, his bright golden eyes suddenly dimmed.

It's like an oil lamp that's about to run out of fuel.

He stared at the place where Zhao Changying's figure disappeared, and was silent for a moment. Without taking any action, he turned around and walked towards Qianyang Hall.

"Cao Tong." He called lightly.

"The servant is here."

Bingbi eunuch Cao Tong had been staying in the corridor behind Qianyang Hall just now, watching the fierce battle with fear.

At first, he also wanted to try to beat the emperor to show his loyalty.

However, when the battle really started, he deeply realized that this level of confrontation is definitely not something he can easily participate in - even if it is just a little aftermath, it may kill him.

Because of this, at this moment, he looked at Emperor Tianxing with more awe than ever before.

Strong men like Mangshan Ghost King and Zhao Changying were all defeated by His Majesty, one was wiped out, and the other was seriously injured and fled.

Your Majesty's strength should be almost the same as that of a real immortal!

"Have you conveyed all my decrees?" Emperor Tianxing continued, interrupting Cao Tong's chaotic thoughts.

Cao Tong lowered his head and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial guards, officials at all levels of the Exorcist Division, the Luojing Garrison and the nearby barracks and guards have all received orders to start a comprehensive search for the traitor Gu Xu." .He is doomed."

Emperor Tianxing nodded: "You must not be a bit ambiguous about this matter. As long as this beast does not die for a day, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Hearing this, Cao Tong immediately knelt down on the ground and assured Emperor Tianxing that he would handle this matter well.

At the same time, he was also full of doubts: With the strength of the emperor, even Mangshan Ghost King and Zhao Changying could easily defeat him, why would he pay so much attention to a young monk who didn't even have a dharma body?

Although Gu Xu's cultivation talent is indeed high, many people think that he will become another saint and powerhouse of the Great Qi Dynasty in the future.

But talent, after all, only represents a possibility, and it will take a long time to realize real combat power.

But Cao Tong didn't ask any more questions.

He believed that the emperor must have his reasons for making such a decision, and it was not his turn to worry about it.

Afterwards, Emperor Tianxing walked up the steps slowly, returned to the screen behind the Qianyang Hall, and sat cross-legged on the mat.

The golden light in his pupils was finally completely extinguished.

Then he closed his eyes and was back to his old, motionless statue, indifferent to external events.

Cao Tong stopped for a moment under the steps in front of the throne.

After a brief silence, he still couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, Zhao Changying who escaped, and the Zhao family of Youzhou...how should we deal with it?"

"Leave it to Xiao Wanjun to deal with it." Emperor Tianxing said in a cold tone.

Cao Tong has served Emperor Tianxing for many years, so he naturally understood what he meant: I am about to start practicing, so don't bother me with these things anymore.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Tong responded respectfully, then bowed and stepped back to leave the hall.

…………

Hundreds of miles to the north of Luojing City, there stands a high mountain.

The mountain is shrouded in clouds all the year round, with lush vegetation and a gloomy atmosphere.

Coupled with the tombs lined up among the weeds, it looks even more gloomy and bold.

This mountain is Mang Mountain.

There is a poem that says: "The tombs on Beiman Mountain are facing Luocheng through the ages. In the city, singing and bells ring at night and day, but the sound of pines and cypresses is heard on the mountain." (1)

What is described is the deserted and bleak scene here.

In a hidden cave deep in the dense forest of Mount Mang, there is a coffin.

This coffin is made of golden nanmu known as "imperial wood", and the surface is carved with complicated and gorgeous patterns.But even if it has been painted and specially treated for anti-corrosion, it still inevitably leaves traces of time.

At this moment, a piercing "creak" sound broke the silence in the cave.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy coffin board was pushed away by a pair of white bone hands, and a skeleton with a terrifying face slowly crawled out of the coffin.

The skeleton was wearing a dirty, shabby bright yellow robe with a pattern of five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on it.

It twisted its own neck stiffly, then bent down, took out a tattered and incompletely beaded flat sky crown from the coffin, and put it on its head.

"Zhao Changying is such a bastard," the skeleton said cursing, "Emperor Daqi is so powerful, he didn't tell me in advance, and almost all my 'ghost servants' died."

This skeleton is obviously the Mangshan Ghost King who just had a fight with Emperor Tianxing in the palace.

Its body was indeed burned to ashes by Emperor Tianxing with a fire.

But as a cunning ghost born in the imperial tomb, before it participates in a life-and-death battle, it will definitely leave behind.

It once separated a ray of soul and hid it in this coffin.

If its body dies outside, then it can use this ray of soul to resurrect in its lair in Mangshan.

Of course, the Mangshan Ghost King, who lost his body and many "ghost attendants", is much weaker than before——

It used to be able to challenge the monks of the eighth realm.

But now, even if it bumps into the weakest saint powerhouse, it has a high probability of being defeated.

However, the fire of revenge deep in its heart will not be extinguished because of the defeat of this battle, but will intensify.

Although Tian Xingdi is powerful, he cannot sit on Luo Jing's throne forever.

As a resentful soul with an almost infinite lifespan, Mangshan Ghost King has witnessed the enthronement and death of many generations of Daqi emperors.

It knew that even if Qi Emperors possessed cultivation bases higher than saints, their lifespan was still about the same as that of ordinary mortals—and normal saints could live to at least two hundred years old without accidents.

Mangshan Ghost King is very patient.

The indestructible myth of the "Tianlong Formation" has been broken today.

It believes that as long as it waits, it will kill Tian Xingdi at worst, and one day it will be able to complete the great cause of revenge.

It walked out of the cave slowly, came to the edge of the cliff, and looked at the city of Luojing hundreds of miles away.

Suddenly, it remembered the short little girl who had a rare "demon body" and almost became its "ghost attendant".
