The real heiress is a fortune teller; her divinations are worth a fortune, and the whole internet is

"This wicked celestial maiden assassinated the emperor; her crime is treason. According to the laws of the Heavenly Palace, her entire family, spanning nine generations, shall be beheaded and displayed to the public as an offering to Heaven!"

Sima Chong stood on the high platform and looked down. The crowd that had gathered was growing larger and larger, which suited his wishes perfectly.

Receiving his signal, the eunuch went to a secluded spot, cut open his palm, and used his blood to draw an ancient formation.

Chang Xi tilted his head and looked over, cursing, "You dog, so you were the real culprit hiding by Sima Chong's side! You used the people of Tianque as sacrifices, and you can't find anyone more wicked than me."

"Your master isn't Sima Chong at all, is he?"

Tai Ting couldn't hear her words. A red light flashed in his eyes. His gaze was dull but stubborn. "Lord God, wait a little longer. I will be able to release you soon."

"Execution can be carried out immediately!"

Sima Chong gave the order, and the executioner raised his broadsword high.

Yunlan silently cried out "No!" through her throat, which was sealed by magic.

The celestial maiden closed her eyes slightly, waiting for the great sword behind her to fall.

"No!" Xiao Chen rushed forward, using his virtual body to block the celestial maiden.

But it's no use; what's meant to happen will happen.

The sharp blade was about to touch the celestial maiden's neck when it was knocked away by an arrow. One arrow after another flew in, saving the celestial maiden's entire clan from being beheaded.

On the high platform, Sima Chong looked closely and saw that it was Nan Sheng, whose whereabouts had been unknown all along. She had brought an army with her.

Where did this soldier come from? Why didn't he know about him?

"My Lady," Nan Sheng said, slashing her sword to cut the ropes binding her.

The clansmen were freed from their restraints, and even Boss Qin was among them, displaying extraordinary bravery. He was completely devoid of his former charm, exuding only a terrifying aura of killing intent.

The celestial maiden took the longsword handed to her by Nan Sheng and proclaimed loudly, "Sima Chong plotted a rebellion and framed me for murdering His Majesty! Everyone, heed my command: execute the traitor!"

"kill!"

A chaotic battle ensued.

Everyone was so engrossed in the battle that no one noticed the sun being obscured and the azure sky gradually turning blood red.

Sima Chong was wounded, and the three of them, including the Heavenly Maiden Nan Sheng and Yun Lan, surrounded him and forced him into a desperate situation.

"I underestimated you and Xiao Chen. You actually managed to raise a small army right under my nose," Sima Chong said with a mocking smile, gripping the knife in his hand.

The celestial maiden looked at him coldly, "Sima Chong, just surrender. When His Majesty is resurrected, he will spare your life out of our shared ancestry."

Sima Chong thought he'd misheard. "What did you say?"

"It seems you don't know yet," Nan Sheng sneered, "your mother is not Sima Chong's lover, but the late emperor's half-sister."

Sima Chong brandished his sword, "Stop talking nonsense! The late emperor had no sister!"

Lan Xin was surprised by his naivety. "Are you really naive or stupid? The late emperor had a younger sister, and only celestial maidens and members of the Xiao clan can enter the sealed land. You come and go freely without noticing anything amiss?"

It seems Sima Yong is truly adept at deception. He deceived me before, and now he's deceiving you. Hate him, don't you? He never treated you like his own son; he only wanted to use you to take revenge on Tianque and the Heavenly Maiden Clan.

Sima Chong's eyes were bloodshot, unwilling to believe what he was hearing. "Liar! I am my father and mother's child, not some descendant of the Xiao family! You are lying to me!"

Yunlan didn't want to look at him anymore and shattered his last illusion with her words, "Sima Yong's wife was still a virgin when she died, how could she have given birth to you?"

You and His Majesty are brothers. To harm your own brother is an outrage against Heaven. The Xiao family has guarded the seal for hundreds of years, yet you, this unworthy descendant, are helping outsiders release the evil spirit from the underworld to wreak havoc on the world.

There is nowhere left for you in this world.

After a moment of stunned silence, Sima Chong looked up at the sky and burst into laughter, laughing almost maniacally.

It turns out that he spent his whole life running around for other people's love and hate, a joke of scheming for a meaningless hatred.

With a final laugh, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and gripped the knife in his hand tightly again. "My whole life has been a joke, how can I accept this? The seal will soon be broken by that eunuch. Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well die together."

This wasn't an inquiry; it was a verdict.

He wants to drag everyone down with him.

People can unleash unexpected power when they are in a frenzy; Sima Chong was able to fight four opponents to a draw.

Tiannv Nansheng and Lanxin held Sima Chong back, while Yunlan pierced Sima Chong's chest from behind with a sword.

Sima Chong turned around and saw Yun Lan behind him. A strange emotion flashed in his eyes, and he slightly curled his lips. "You want to kill me? But what can I do? The road to the underworld is too cold. You'll come with me."

He turned around and stabbed the knife into Yunlan's body; the two fell down almost simultaneously.

"Uncle!" The celestial maiden knelt down, trying to help Yunlan up, but she couldn't move him no matter what she did.

Yunlan smiled softly, "My Lady of Heaven, my sins have been atoned for. My ancestors won't blame me, will they?"

"No, no one has ever blamed you," the celestial maiden said, her eyes blurry with tears, trying to stop the bleeding from the wounds on his body, but the blood kept flowing.

Yunlan's head lolled to the side, and she breathed her last in the Heavenly Maiden's arms.

He couldn't close his eyes; they were directed at Sima Chong.

"Uncle," the celestial maiden said, as if her throat was blocked by a wad of cotton, wanting to say something but unable to utter a single word.

Lan Xin closed her eyes slightly, mourning for her compatriots for a moment. When she opened her eyes, she was even calmer. "Now is not the time to be sad. We need to find the eunuch who is controlled by the evil god and stop him from breaking the seal. There have been enough deaths in this war. If more people die, it will only add to the evil god's power."

The celestial maiden hastily wiped her face, used her sword to support herself on the ground, and stood up. "Let's go."

Yin Cheng had just shaken off his pursuers and reached the city wall when he saw his senior brother's cold corpse. Resentment and murderous intent filled his eyes. He wanted Tian Nu and the others to be buried with his senior brother.

[He's dead. Sima Chong is dead. Even the most hateful person has a pitiable side.]

She was used her whole life, and in the end, she died alongside Yunlan.

Tragic! Yunlan couldn't escape the prophesied ending; his death was destined from the moment he descended the mountain.

I just never expected Yunlan to die like this.

[I just hope the celestial maidens can really stop the evil god from manifesting, otherwise their deaths will have been in vain.]

"They're here!" Chang Xi pulled Huo Dongjun, who was closer to the eunuch, away to prevent him from being hacked to pieces.

Although everyone is just a non-existent mass of gas.

The formation continuously absorbed the souls of the dead outside, gathering them into a powerful force that flowed into the formation. A tiny crack gradually appeared on the empty ground, and the crack slowly grew larger and wider.

In the blood-red sky, countless meteorites fell at great speed, carrying flames as they crashed onto houses and the ground, igniting them.
