The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 192 There are still masters
The night was dark and the moonlight was thin and dim, casting light on the streets. Everything was quiet except for the occasional sounds of night watchmen's gongs, which echoed throughout the city.

Zhao Ti walked in the shadows, like a wisp of smoke, melting into the dark night, leaving no trace.

He arrived outside the main hall of the witch cult, his body swaying as he floated into the garden. He saw a red light flashing in the distance and a group of people heading towards the central hall.

Zhao Ti narrowed his eyes. The red light was emitted by the lantern. According to what he had seen before, there were only black lanterns in the witch cult. For some reason, there were red lanterns.

This team consisted of quite a large number of people, as much as one or two hundred. As far as he could see, in addition to the great wizard and the black-clad cultists, there were also armored soldiers, which made him a little confused.

Is this someone from the Xixia army coming here? But why are they here so late at night?
Zhao Ti watched the group of people walking towards the front of the palace, thought for a moment, and then moved over quietly.

After a while, they arrived near the temple. The great wizard walked into the building accompanied by a slender man in ordinary clothes, followed by the believers and soldiers.

He had seen the great wizard before and could recognize him just by looking at his figure, but he didn't know who this slender man was.

Zhao Ti's mind turned. Judging from the figure and movements, the person seemed to be a woman. She couldn't be a military officer. But she was protected by soldiers. Could she be a member of the Western Xia royal family?

But even among the women of the royal family, there were only a handful of them who had so many soldiers protecting them. There were also only two people in the whole of Western Xia who could go out in the middle of the night and come to a place like the Witch Cult.

That is the Empress Dowager Li Qiushui and the Empress Dowager Liang Sizhao.

But that figure was obviously not Li Qiu Shui, could it be Xiao Liang?
There was a hint of surprise on Zhao Ti's face. If this was really Liang Sizhao's daughter, and he killed her here, he wondered what kind of shock the Xixia court would have.

At this time, this woman was in trouble both internally and externally. The ministers in the court were at odds with her, Li Qianshun also had many conflicts with her, and even the Liao Kingdom was dissatisfied with her and issued an edict to condemn her.

But this woman has always appeared in a tough attitude, suppressing everything, and being decisive, even perfunctory towards Liao. Whenever she could not suppress opposition from all sides, she would go to war with the Song Dynasty to resolve internal conflicts.

If she really died, everyone in the Xixia court would probably applaud. Even Li Qianshun might be happy. The Dangxiang royal family had weak family ties and were always fighting for power. Li Qianshun had a very bad relationship with Empress Dowager Xiaoliang.

Originally, Xiao Liang died from poisoning by the Liao Kingdom a few years later. Li Qianshun knew the reason at the time, but he said nothing, which shows that there was no kinship between them.

But even if this is the case, if Xiao Liang was stabbed to death, the shocking impact it would cause cannot be underestimated.

After all, she has accumulated power for a long time. I'm afraid the Xixia court will be in chaos for a while. Xixia is not like the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has many royal families and complete laws and regulations, which are enough to deal with any changes and can stabilize in a short time. Xixia does not have this ability.

When Zhao Ti thought of this, he moved again with an indescribable speed. He arrived in a shadow on the side of the palace and then flew upwards silently.

This time they did not enter from the second floor. After all, there were many soldiers inside, and the stairs and other places were probably guarded, so it was impossible to go up quietly.

He went directly to the top of the palace building. The roof was long and wide, and there were hollow areas, which made it easy to observe. It was the most convenient and unexpected place to start.

Zhao Ti paused for a few breaths on the top of the palace building, then moved towards the center.

When you get close to the hollow and light-transmitting areas, pause for a moment and then look down.

Below was the Mo Yuan star disk. At this moment, light seeped in from the hollow on the roof of the hall, and there were seven faint flashes of light on the star disk.

The great wizard and the slender person were standing beside the plate. Zhao Ti could see the other person's face clearly at this time. Although she was dressed as a man, she was indeed a woman.

The woman was not very old, probably no more than thirty years old, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, but a cold and majestic expression. She was staring at Mo Yuan's star disk, as if thinking about something.

Then the great wizard said, "Queen Mother, this kind of astrological phenomenon is rare in ancient times. Once it appears, not only will the world be in chaos, but it will also..."

"I know about the chaos in the world. It happened at the end of the Warring States Period, the end of the Qin Dynasty, and the end of the Jin Dynasty. As for the stories about ghosts and gods, don't talk about them." The woman said lightly.

The great wizard showed a bitter smile on his face: "But these are all records within the church..." The woman snorted coldly and said nothing, her eyes scanning back and forth on the Mo Yuan star disk.

The Great Wizard asked, "Queen Mother, what does the Astronomical Bureau say?"

The woman said, "They are all a bunch of idiots. They haven't figured out what happened yet. But the spy who was in the Liao capital sent a secret report saying that the Liao astronomical bureau seemed to have discovered something important. The chief historian of the astronomical bureau, Xiao Xuanji, has gone back to the Shamanism and has not returned."

The great wizard looked thoughtful when he heard this: "Liao Dynasty's Astronomical Bureau, Shamanism..."

The woman said, "It is very likely that they have discovered this, but there has been no movement from the Song State. However, our Great Xia spies in the Song State are not in a high position, so it is difficult to investigate the details."

Zhao Ti narrowed his eyes above. He had hardly attended court since the New Year, and he didn't know whether the Song Dynasty's Astronomical Observatory had seen through it or not. Zhao Xu had never talked about it, but he thought that they should be able to discover this rare astronomical phenomenon.

The Great Wizard said: "Queen Mother, if we only consider the whole country, although this star sign represents chaos, it may also be an opportunity..."

The woman said calmly, "I know it's an opportunity, but how can we only look at the stars to determine the future of this world? Who knows what this will indicate in a few years, ten years, or even decades."

The great wizard thought for a moment and said, "The Queen Mother is right."

The woman said coldly: "If I were to go to war, with just one order, the whole country would be mobilized, and wherever the army points to, there would be no one who would be defeated."

After she said that, she turned around and seemed to want to walk out of the hall.

Zhao Ti raised his eyebrows on the roof. The opportunity had come. Even the protector would be distracted at this time. He could not only look back but also had to look forward.

He moved slightly, like chasing the wind and lightning, and rushed directly to the hollow space. The carved wood in the gap instantly shattered like tofu.

There was a flash of cold light in his palm, and his body was not touching the ground. A sword was dim and floating, pointing directly at the woman.

This was a lightning-fast, swift and unstoppable attack. Seeing that the woman had no way of avoiding it, the great wizard roared, suddenly blocked in front of him, and slapped the sword with both palms, "How dare you..."

"Die!" Zhao Ti exhaled coldly and shouted. A stream of light flashed in his palm and the surrounding airflow seemed to be torn apart in an instant. Light and smoke became invisible. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere. The great wizard's body was actually torn into pieces by this sharp sword.

Zhao Ti's sword continued to move, and the ethereal and phantom figure continued to point at the woman.

The woman had already reacted. She turned around with a look of shock, and fluttered her sleeves, revealing a pair of golden iron robe sleeves.

But even gold and iron could not block this sword. Although the sword looked ghostly and shining, it was wrapped in true energy and there was a flash of light on the tip of the sword. It was so fast that only an afterimage was left. The woman's sleeves made of gold and iron shattered in an instant, and then her body cracked like a mirror, and blood splattered.

No matter where the army is heading, it is nothing but a foolish dream. No matter how invincible you are, it will all return to dust!

Zhao Ti succeeded and flew backwards. He saw the soldiers and the men in black robes shouting in panic and shooting at them with hidden weapons and bows and crossbows.

His face was expressionless. He used the ground to gain leverage and leaped upwards. He was out in an instant and returned to the top of the building.

At this time, there was chaos below, and the sound of a sharp whistle was heard. The sound was very rapid and sad. It broke through the air and spread throughout the garden in an instant. It could be heard from very far away.

Just after the whistle sounded, a long and long howl suddenly came from the depths of the garden. The internal force was like breaking through the clouds and splitting the sky, continuous and seemingly endless.

Zhao Ti glanced in that direction and saw a figure rising into the air at an incredibly fast speed, heading towards this side.

He narrowed his eyes. He had never expected that there would be a master in the witch cult's main court. The corners of his mouth slightly raised. He flashed his body and rushed out of the garden...
