Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 624 Qingjun’s Side

"This is."

Zhu Ting's pupils contracted slightly as he gazed at the flames shooting into the sky in the distance.

A phantom image of a phoenix appeared above the capital city.

He opened his mouth.

As a prince, and with a penchant for research, how could he not see that this was clearly the avatar of the Azure Phoenix Fairy?

But shouldn't Fairy Qingluan be in Beiyuan?
How did they end up in the capital?

Soon he heard the gentle chanting of Buddhist sutras, and at the same time, a huge Dharma image appeared.

These are all righteous cultivators who should have been in the Northern Plains, but now they have all appeared in the capital.

He then turned to look at Li Rui.

Obviously.

This was Li Rui's doing; he brought all the righteous experts from Beiyuan here!
What a huge honor.

Li Rui chuckled: "Let's go, it's time to purge the court of corrupt officials."

Zhu Ting's lips twitched.

This doesn't sound like a good word at all.

But upon closer reflection, this term has clearly been given a bad reputation by those "bad people," who are the real ones who are cleaning up the court of corrupt officials.

Li Rui pushed open the door and went out with his hands behind his back.

Today's events were naturally the result of his prior preparation.

The cause was that psionic cannon.

He had previously discussed this with Chief Minister Zhang, who had refused outright.

The most taboo thing for someone in charge of the court is to change their orders frequently.

How could a seasoned and shrewd official like Zhang possibly do something so despicable?

If it were to be built, it would require a heated debate with the Holy Emperor, culminating in a dramatic outburst and a slam of the table, in order to uphold one's position.

Once you reach that level of status, this is the only way to do it.

In addition, there were other unusual events in the capital, such as the Emperor's seclusion, the First Prince's regency, and the Fourth Prince's request for a son.

When many coincidences come together, they are no longer just coincidences.

Therefore, Li Rui had already made arrangements.

He even personally visited the capital and set up a teleportation array.

Even without the Fourth Prince's message, he would still take action, it would just be later.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Laws

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Looking towards the black fog rising into the sky in the capital.

This is clearly the work of the demonic cultivators of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws.

He is cautious in his actions.

Of course, he couldn't come alone, so he invited Fairy Qingluan and even other celestial beings.

For a while.

The skies above the capital city became a battlefield for several celestial beings.

The battle between the Dharma Body and the Mystic Weapon was so dazzling that it made the people of the capital kneel down.

Li Rui said to Zhu Ting, "Go to the Temple of Heaven; it's the safest place there."

Say it.

He lifted his foot and strode towards the capital.

Zhu Ting asked in surprise, "Lord Li, where are you going?"

Then I only heard two words in my ear:

"kill."

"This is."

Sima Mo looked up at the great battle on the horizon, his eyes wide.

Everything was as expected.

Once Zhu Kang's soul is swapped and he becomes the Holy Emperor, the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws can quietly infiltrate the Immortal Tomb.

did not expect.

Qingluan, that woman, stormed into the palace alone with her sword, acting recklessly and irrationally. She even went straight for Tangli Fairy, who had transformed into "Chief Minister Zhang."

They completely disrupted their plans.

then.

He turned and looked into the open hall.

The eldest prince Zhu Kang's eyes turned blood red.

Despite all their scheming, they were exposed at the most crucial moment.

One year.

In just one year, he could become his father, then rule the world and become the ruler of the Immortal Dynasty.

But now, everything has been shattered.

Unwilling!

Zhu Kang felt no regret, only resentment. Everyone wanted to be emperor; how could there be any talk of regret? If he succeeded, he would be the sage ruler who ascended the throne before Xuanwu Gate; if he failed, he failed.

not regret.

A ruthless glint flashed in Zhu Kang's eyes.

To Sima Mo's astonishment, Zhu Kang actually plunged a knife into his own chest, spraying his blood and essence onto the jade mirror.

This is an attempt to forcibly swap souls!
This method can complete the soul swap in a short time, but the downside is that if it fails, the soul will be reduced to ashes.

tough enough.

Sima Mo's lips curled up slightly.

He had already received orders that if the plan failed, he should kill Zhu Kang in advance and then perform a blood sacrifice.

Even with Zhu Kang's royal blood and half of the Holy Emperor's soul, he could still shatter the destiny of the emperor.

At that time.

The unusual activity at the Immortal Tomb could no longer be suppressed even by the combined efforts of the three sects of Baiyujing.

At that time, even stronger figures from the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws will naturally step in.

But now it seems unnecessary.

But just as Zhu Kang buried the jade mirror in his chest—

A figure walked towards the white jade steps in front of the main hall.

It was Li Rui.

As the former sect leader of the Arctic Demon Sect, Sima Mo naturally knew Li Rui and his eyes were full of apprehension.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Who would have thought?

What he once saw as an ant has now grown to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

The Golden Court Cave is truly incredibly powerful.

Only those who have actually been there can truly understand the profound meaning behind this statement.

Sima Mo snorted coldly and, without wasting any words, directly summoned his natal weapon, a giant hammer that grew to a hundred feet in size, and smashed down towards Li Rui.

Li Rui's expression remained unchanged.

He casually delivered a punch.

A terrifying shockwave exploded between the fists and hammers.

Then--

The giant hammer flew backward and disappeared into the horizon.

Upon seeing this, Sima Mo gasped.

He had expected Li Rui to be fierce, but he hadn't anticipated that he would be so fierce, almost shattering his natal weapon with just one strike.

You must know, he's at the mid-stage of the Dao Body realm.

They couldn't even withstand a single blow from Li Rui.

This is simply a fantasy.

But he didn't have time to be shocked.

Because Li Rui took a single step and instantly teleported thirty feet, appearing in front of him.

Another punch.

This punch was unstoppable, shattering all of Sima Mo's defensive measures, and finally landing on Sima Mo's physical body.

The terrifying destructive force instantly tore the flesh apart and extinguished any life force.

Sima Mo had absolutely no ability to resist.

Then the physical body turned into a pile of minced meat, and the little spirit fetus fled in terror.

They didn't even have time to use their secret technique to burn their life essence and escape.

Then I saw a flash of golden light.

A rope shimmering with divine light bound him; it was a high-level Spirit Binding Rope, capable of binding a Dao Body Realm Spirit Embryo!
This level of spirit-binding rope is extremely expensive.

Moreover, the number of times it can be used is limited.

Those who use this thing are usually demonic cultivators who intend to devour spiritual embryos for cultivation.

Li Rui used it so skillfully.

In just three breaths, he suppressed the former leader of the Arctic Demon Sect.

If the people of the martial arts world in Yu Kingdom knew this, they would surely say, "Li Jianzheng is undoubtedly the number one martial artist in the world."

the whole process.

Li Rui's face remained completely expressionless.

His gaze passed through the magnificent palace gates and landed on Zhu Kang inside the hall.

The person to be killed was naturally this eldest prince.

But then, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, golden light burst forth in the palace, and a phantom of a divine dragon appeared within it, soaring and circling, its roar shaking the heavens.

Then came the incredulous voice of the eldest prince.

"Father, Emperor?!"
