As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 144: Chaos in the Imperial Palace! Old Man, Borrow the Dharma! (6k)

"drive!"

The horses galloped on the official road, smoke and dust flew in the wind, and the cavalry entered the capital with armor and weapons, quickly approaching the palace.

"Force?"

"What is this doing?"

"What happened?"

"So many soldiers, what are they going to do?"

……

This scene is rare.

The passersby around could not help but stretch their necks to watch and whisper to each other as they watched the army march into the city and rush to the palace.

"Sir, you...what are you going to do?!"

The palace guards looked at the old man in official uniform in front of them and the group of soldiers coming aggressively behind him, their eyes widened and their faces were full of panic.

He didn't know what was happening now.

However, in the game among the top people, the first to die are those at the bottom.

"I have received a secret report that someone is plotting to murder the emperor and is planning a rebellion!"

"I'm here to protect you, so please get out of my way."

"If you miss this opportunity, you will be punished by death!"

Dong Zhenghong is not young anymore, but the old man has been in a high position for a long time and has a majestic aura of a superior.

When he looked at them, several guards trembled.

As soon as the words fell, suddenly,
"Puch!"

Blood splattered, and sharp spikes mysteriously grew out of the shadows and pierced the chest of a guard.

His eyes widened, his face filled with horror, not knowing why his life had disappeared.

"Master Dong, why are you wasting so much time talking?"

Sen Sen's whisper rang in Dong Zhenghong's ears, and Dong Zhenghong couldn't help but frowned.

A hunchbacked old man walked out from the shadows. His eyes were gloomy and his expression was strange, making people dare not look him in the eye.

It was exactly the half complete face of the old man Tong Wuchang.

Time is of the essence and important matters are at stake.

Dong Zhenghong frowned and shouted, "Enter the palace!"

The army stormed into the palace.

Something big is bound to happen today.

……

Xiao Xinyue's mansion.

At some point, a purple flower grew among the weeds in the yard, and its petals swayed and trembled slightly in the breeze.

My royal brother... has already left.

Xiao Xinyue looked at the swaying flowers, gently touched her chest, and a nameless sadness rose from her heart.

She has no brother anymore.

She knew that there was no elder in the world who could care for her anymore.

In a trance,

"Kill!"

"What are you going to do?!"

"The Second Princess is plotting to usurp the throne and murder the Emperor! Please, get out of the way! We have been ordered to apprehend this traitor!"

"Whose orders are you following?! You are not allowed to enter!"

"Who cares what he does? Kill him!"

There were bursts of loud shouting and killing sounds coming from outside.

A group of uninvited guests broke into the mansion and fought with the guards.

"Your Highness...what...what happened outside?"

The storm was about to come, Chun Ya shouted to her master with a look of panic.

It came quite quickly.

Xiao Xinyue came back to her senses, her eyes gradually becoming sharper.

The person is gone, there is no time to miss her. She is still alive, she carries her brother's hopes, and she wants to do what she can well.

It looks like this old thief has been planning this for a long time.

My brother the emperor said that Dong Zhenghong would definitely rebel. Now it seems that the other party had already taken action when my brother fainted in the court.

"Zhi!"

With a flash of cold light, Xiao Xinyue had already drawn her sword. With a sharp look in her eyes, she said to the maid, "Chun Ya, go!"

Xiao Xinyue rushed out and found the yard in a mess with dead bodies everywhere.

The soldiers who were originally supposed to guard the capital city now turned their guns around and attacked the royal family.

Taking advantage of Xiao Zhengyang's death, Dong Zhenghong created a great chaos.

The general in charge of the imperial guards was his man, and he led the imperial guards into the palace in the name of suppressing a rebellion.

Having military power means having the right to speak.

Except for the one he chooses, all other princesses and princes who are qualified to compete for the throne must die in this chaos.

Especially... this second princess.

After the chaos, he helped the fourth prince ascend the throne and seized all power.

The clouds and mist parted and the light appeared. From then on, he became the most honorable person in Qianyuan.

"Xiao Xinyue is there!"

Someone saw the two of them and shouted.

A group of fierce soldiers turned their heads and looked at Xiao Xinyue.

"Humph!"

Xiao Xinyue clenched the sword in her hand and snorted coldly: "How dare you!"

"I am the Second Princess. Do you know what the punishment is for trespassing into my residence?!"

Father... look at the mess you left behind.

The military power of the imperial guards was lost.

She was born with a noble air, her face full of majesty, and she shouted at the soldiers.

In fact, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Her martial arts skills are pretty good, but... it's still a bit difficult for her to fight her way out of here.

"Humph!"

"Brothers, don't be afraid of her! The princess is also a human being!"

"If it weren't for this witch who killed the Beilie envoy, how could Qian Yuan have fought against Beilie?!"

The leading soldier suddenly raised his head, not afraid of Xiao Xinyue's intimidation at all, and shouted to the soldiers behind him.

But at this moment,
"Whoosh!"

The silver spear was like a dragon, with a cold light flashing, drawing a brilliant trajectory in the air, and accurately pierced into the soldier's chest.

He nailed it directly into the ground, the tip of the gun stuck into the soil, and the handle of the gun trembled slightly.

"Your Highness, I am sorry for being late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me!"

A heroic general in armor rushed in, his eyes like lightning as he glanced around the courtyard.

After seeing the messy yard and Xiao Xinyue who was safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked quickly forward, bent his knees and half-knelt, speaking with a very respectful expression.

"Are you General Xiao Ling?"

The emperor gave her a backup plan and helped her leave the capital.

Xiao Xinyue understood what was going on. She looked calm and asked the person who came.

"It's down!"

"Your Highness, the situation is urgent now. Please leave the capital with me immediately!"

Behind him, a group of well-equipped guards rushed in and fought with the invading imperial guards.

Swords flashed and blood splattered.

The situation is reversed. These people are the guards carefully selected by Xiao Zhengyang for Xiao Xinyue.

These soldiers in the mansion were no match for them at all.

Xiao Xinyue also nodded slightly: "Okay!"

Xiao Ling's expression remained calm as he protected Xiao Xinyue and led her in the retreat.

There was no danger, everything went as Your Majesty expected.

Xiao Ling just breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, he seemed to notice something and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He suddenly pushed Xiao Xinyue behind him to the side.

"Puch!"

The sound of a sharp blade cutting flesh suddenly rang out, and an armored arm flew high into the sky.

"what?!"

Xiao Xinyue widened her eyes in shock.

Just now, a pitch-black shadow blade suddenly flew out from the shadows of the two people, as fast as lightning.

If Xiao Ling hadn't pushed her away just now, she would have been cut in half.

Xiao Zhengyang never trusted those demons, ghosts, gods, or unorthodox techniques in his life.

However, he didn't expect that this plan before his death would be foiled by these strange people.

"Who is pretending?"

The cut on the broken arm was smooth, and blood spurted out desperately. Xiao Ling's face turned pale and his brows were furrowed. He couldn't help but shout loudly.

In addition, a shadow flashed by as the spear held in the one-armed hand pierced the ground.

The silver spear was inserted into the soil, seemingly piercing something, yet also seemingly piercing nothing.

The ghost shadow just condensed and then dissipated.

"Hehehe~"

Bursts of strange laughter suddenly rang out in this chaotic yard.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

The clouds in the sky covered the sun, casting a huge shadow, and the gentle breeze seemed to carry a strange chill.

The grass and trees swayed, the cold wind blew through the room, the cold was biting, and a creepy feeling arose from the bottom of my heart.

"La la la~"

Accompanied by this sinister laughter.

Suddenly, bursts of childish singing came from afar, getting closer and closer.

The song was out of tune, like a child babbling a ballad imitated by his mother.

Tender, crisp and lovable.

But... in this chaotic yard now, there is a sense of disharmony.

Beneath the shadows, it is eerie, sad, strange and terrifying.

"Then...what is that?!"

"This...this ghost?!"

"no no……"

The people here are hardened warriors, but they can only deal with what they can understand.

When encountering such a strange situation, one can't help but tremble and feel fear.

……

Welcome the children's singing.

At some point, six figures appeared in the yard in an extremely strange manner.

Some fell from the sky, some broke apart and reassembled, some came from afar across space, and some drilled out from the ground...

They stood in the outermost corner of the yard, the six of them forming a hexagon that surrounded everyone else.

The six people had different body shapes. There was a young child, a hunched old man, a strong warrior, and a slender woman...

They wore robes with patterns of green-faced, fang-toothed evil spirits printed on them. They stood in six directions, each holding a white skull in their hands, with green flames burning in their eye sockets, which looked extremely strange.

Among the six people, the gray-haired old man lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Xiao Xinyue with cloudy old eyes, and smiled grimly: "Your Highness... I can't let you go!"

Xiao Ling held the gun in one hand, looked at him warily, and shouted: "Who are you?!"

The child's hand burned with a dark green flame, and he looked at him coldly: "If you turn into a ghost, you will know my name~"

"Playing tricks! Kill him!"

Faced with Xiao Ling's angry shout, the six people didn't seem to care.

The guards rushed forward and cut off their bodies with the weapons in their hands, but it was like nothing and seemed to have no effect on them.

Instead, these weirdos will use some strange methods.

The old man had a ferocious and ghostly face, and the shadows condensed into a blade that could easily chop off a person's head.

The child waved his hand casually, and a dark green flame burned brightly, falling on the person's body. In an instant, it spread to the whole body and burned the soul.

The burly man was born with supernatural strength, and every time he attacked, he could knock a soldier away.

The sharp howling of the female ghost makes people dizzy...

Just six people stopped dozens of powerful guards and trapped everyone in this chaotic courtyard.

...These people are probably extraordinary people who possess special abilities similar to Mingchen.

Xiao Xinyue was not afraid of the gloomy scene.

When she was with Mingchen, she had seen many strange things.
That day, the dark dragon of disaster rushed up bathed in lightning. The scene of heaven and earth shaking and trembling the soul has always lingered in my mind and cannot be shaken off.

That would be more oppressive than now.

The situation came to a stalemate, and the six people trapped them here.

The situation is urgent, we must break out quickly. The general beside me is injured and needs treatment quickly...

Those who achieve great things need to remain calm at all times.

The more critical the situation, the more calm you need to be.

Xiao Xinyue looked calm as she observed this strange battlefield.

Calm down, and time seems to slow down.

She has had psychic senses since she was young. On that strange day, she seemed to be able to hear the land and mountains beneath her feet communicating with her.

At this moment, she opened her eyes wide, as if she felt something.

She couldn't describe it either. It was as if there was a special stream in the air, flowing along a specific path, and the source of all this flow...

Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and she shouted, "Hit the skulls in their hands!"

After hearing what Xiao Xinyue said, Xiao Ling, who was beside him, was quick-witted and threw the spear in his hand immediately.

A flash of silver light passed by, and before the female ghost could react, the skull in her hand was pierced accurately.

The powerful silver spear smashed it to pieces, and the flames dancing in its eye sockets were extinguished in an instant, turning into ashes and disappearing.

At the same time, the female ghost shook her body and slowly disappeared from the spot.

The female ghost disappeared, and the other soldiers came to their senses and attacked the skulls in the hands of the other five people.

but……

Only Xiao Ling succeeded.

The remaining five did not give the other guards a chance to attack.

"Good good..."

"Your Highness...you will make a good ghost..."

The old man's eyes were so grim that they made people tremble.

He looked at Xiao Xinyue, his old face becoming more ferocious, as if he was looking at some perfect work of art, his eyes full of eagerness.

The shadows gathered into a long sword, piercing through the body of the guard in front, and blood splattered.

"It's almost time!"

He placed the skull on the ground and made a hand seal: "Secret method of controlling ghosts..."

At the same time, the other four people did similar actions.

"rise!"

[Nine Nether Soul Devouring Formation]

The five people showed the same strange smile, and their figures disappeared bit by bit.

Only five sinister faces remained of the hideous appearance, with scarlet complexions and sharp white teeth... It was terrifying.

"Boom boom boom!"

Along with that the last trace of the five people disappeared.

The skeleton on the ground emitted a faint light. In an instant, all the living people present trembled violently, and felt as if something was roaring in their ears.

A gloomy atmosphere that seemed to shake the soul spread, the situation in front of the eyes changed, and the chaotic courtyard disappeared.

Instead, there is a dark and chaotic graveyard, with dead branches swaying in the wind, making a series of tooth-grinding creaking sounds.

There are graves everywhere, ghost lights are lingering, and the howling of evil spirits is circling in the ears.

One by one, dry arms emerged from the soil and swayed wildly.

It was as if countless evil ghosts and wronged spirits were circling around them, trying to drag them into another strange world of the dead.

The will-o'-the-wisp suddenly lit up,

One, two, three...

The eerie blue flame illuminated the dark environment, and fear began to accumulate in my heart bit by bit.

"Hehehe~"

"Hahaha~"

Accompanied by bursts of sharp and sinister laughter, a huge coffin rose from the ground, raising dust.

It was engraved with countless complicated runes, flashing with green fluorescence, and looked extremely strange in this gloomy environment.

Countless ghosts wailed and danced in the sky, falling into the lifeless corpses.

"You deserve to die!"

"You deserve to die!"

"Help me~"

"Come and accompany me~"

A cold wind blew, and a sad and melodious voice echoed in my ears.

"This this……"

Under the horrified gaze of the guards, the blood flowed back and the soldiers who should have been dead crawled up from the ground one by one.

Their bodies were burning with strange green flames as they rushed towards the living.

"..."

Xiao Xinyue frowned as she looked at the eerie and strange scene.

The strange people on the opposite side use endless strange tricks.

If she keeps dragging it on, she won't be able to leave!

"Your Highness, I will protect you. Charge out!"

Xiao Ling drew out his sword with one arm, looked at the eerie and strange area ahead, and shouted to Xiao Xinyue.

But he himself didn't quite believe this.

A cold wind swept across the sky, and the living dead rushed towards Xiao Xinyue and the others fearlessly.

Heavy pressure weighs on the shoulders, and panic, shock, despair... are spreading.

How to do?
But at this moment,
"Wow!"

Suddenly, the clear chirping of birds tore through the howling of wild ghosts.

The wind was howling fiercely, and the sharp wind blades shattered the sky, leaving a gap.

The sunlight shines through the cracks into the gloomy cemetery.

A white bird with pure white wings that was taller than the sky and as beautiful as a fairy flew from mid-air and broke into everyone's heart.

Gorgeous.

"Who is your Highness waiting for?"

"Are you waiting for me?"

The huge white bird shrank in an instant, and a human figure jumped into the battlefield, appearing exceptionally clear.

A familiar face, a familiar, carefree smile.

Although in this gloomy ghostland, this playboy didn't care at all. He waved at Xiao Xinyue as if he was teasing a girl.

Xiao Xinyue is not in a good mood today.

The emperor's brother left, the traitor usurped power, and the palace was in chaos...

She walked on a road with no visible future, lonely and cold, with no one to talk to.

But now, when this person appeared in front of her.

Seeing him, it was as if a bright light suddenly appeared on the road ahead, and my heavy heart seemed to relax a little at this moment.

A dissolute and frivolous person is strangely reassuring.

She couldn't smile, but as she looked at the man in front of her, her brows softened a little, and she agreed with him and said, "Yes."

The emperor has left.

In this world, Mingchen is the only one who is special to her.

As the two were talking, a flash of white light appeared in the sky.

My own son is pretending to be great.

The hard-working bird hovered in the air, folded its wings, and powerful demonic power rippled out in circles.

"Boom boom boom!"

The ground shook, and vines rose from the ground, entangling and binding all the enemies, including the huge coffin.

[Fiery Sun Fire]

The white feathers fell with the wind, the bird's eyes flashed, and white flames suddenly burned from the tips of her wings.

at the same time,

The vines wrapped around the zombies and coffins below also began to burn with the same white flames, and the bright fire illuminated the gloomy ghostland.

The white flames collided with the eerie green fire, making a series of crackling sounds. The trapped living dead trembled all over, hugged their bodies, and let out heart-wrenching wails, and their figures disappeared bit by bit.

This is something Fuyao has been tinkering with during this period.

There are not many attack-attribute spells in the [Dead Leaves] that Grandpa Tree taught her, and the damage to these strange things is very low. It will take time for her to learn the spells in the [Green Branches].

She was particularly good at controlling fire and wind, so she combined what she had learned and her abilities to create a fire spell.

It can exorcise ghosts and summon spirits. It is very effective against eerie ghosts, and is also effective against monsters like Tao Yaoyao that cannot be killed.

I tried it with Ghost Grandpa before, and it worked pretty well.

But the next moment,
"Kakaka!"

The largest coffin in the middle of the yard was wrapped in white flames, making strange noises, and the lid was suddenly opened.

"Hoohoo!"

The cold wind was howling, and the eerie ghostly aura was oppressing and distorting the entire space, spreading out at this moment.

A huge figure crawled out of the coffin.

“Mingchen!!!”

He waved his hand violently, and the whistling wind blew out the bright and holy white flame.

A flash of light revealed a hideous and terrifying face.

The face was a combination of a child and an old man, the limbs were extremely asymmetrical, and the whole person looked like a balloon that had been blown up and enlarged several times.

Tong Wuchang!
The majestic ghost energy burst out at this moment, soaring into the sky, making the sun and moon dim and the sky and earth lose their color.

The little bird was blown over in mid-air, with its wings blocking in front of it, and its face looked a little solemn.

"Do you think a demon can stop me?!"

"Hand over that ghost king!"

A strange sound that blended various tones suddenly rang out in the yard, and scarlet eyes looked at the person who broke in.

Tong Wuchang didn't expect that Mingchen would intervene at this time.

But just right!

Everything was done together.

He had long wanted to meet this famous stranger.

He missed the fierce military spirit that had existed for hundreds of years very much.

No one can leave here alive today!

Mingchen frowned slightly and turned to look at the strange man.

Lao Qizhi is really something!
It's a creature that's neither human nor ghost, and it doesn't look symmetrical. It's even scarier than an evil ghost.

The wind was so strong that it made the clothes rustle.

A thick ghostly aura rushed towards him, and countless resentful ghosts and evil spirits wailed in his ears. The world in front of him seemed to be distorted, turning it into a sea of corpses and blood.

Ghost King?

Who is it?

A cheap teacher?
Before Mingchen could say anything, Tong Wuchang smiled ferociously and waved his hand. A huge scarlet blood-red palm appeared out of thin air and grabbed the white bird in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, another skinny arm suddenly pressed down towards Mingchen, and a small thing flew out from his sleeve.

【Sangmen Seal】

Countless white bones and skulls formed a ghostly seal, which fell on Mingchen and Xiao Xinyue's heads.

If you were hit by this weird thing, you would probably be turned into a pancake.

"Master!!!"

The wind blade cut off the bloody hand, and with a flash of white light, the bird instantly broke free from its restraints, widened its eyes, and screamed.

"You're the one who caused this mess, old man!"

"Lend me the Dharma!"

At this moment, a low shout like an order came from under the shadow of the ghost seal.

The next moment, time seemed to stop at this moment, the soft jade was spinning in the air, emitting a bright light, and an unknown power spread out in circles.

The dragon of disaster swimming in the scroll slowly opened its scarlet eyes. The world suddenly lost its voice. Even the splattered blood beads condensed in mid-air. The Netherworld Ghost Seal collapsed like an overturned hourglass, and the gloomy ghost seal turned into powder in an instant.

At this moment, the world seemed to have changed.

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of rumbling sound from the dome. The fear of the power oppressed everyone so much that they could not raise their heads and dared not breathe.

The sky is covered with dark clouds and thunder is roaring.

"Roar!"

The dark miasma was like a thin frost encountering boiling snow. Bathed in the light of thunder, a pitch-black dragon rose into the sky, roaming across the sky, violently breaking through this gloomy ghostland.

The roar was deafening, the dragon's eyes were majestic and powerful, and no one dared to look at it.
