One night is fleeting.

When the morning light once again penetrated the mist and illuminated the entire earth, the imperial capital, which had been sleeping and silent all night, finally became lively again.

However, compared to the calmness of the past, the atmosphere in the imperial capital today is obviously a little abnormal.

And all this was due to the unusually dazzling sun that covered the sky above the imperial capital yesterday evening.

Although the Queen said that everything was fine, the common people who lived in the imperial capital all year round did not believe that this abnormal situation was normal.

Many people even recalled the great battle between a group of practitioners outside the imperial capital ten years ago that almost affected them.

Therefore, in addition to some ordinary people who were maintaining their basic daily lives, many people spontaneously gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the abnormal situation of yesterday.

And at some point, all kinds of rumors gradually spread among the crowd.

Some say that the abnormal situation is the result of the emperor's misconduct and a warning of disaster from heaven.

Some people also said that there were powerful practitioners practicing some evil methods, which led to the abnormal situation.

Among the thousands of rumors, the one that the people believed most was that the evildoers who entered the city caused a stress response in the imperial city's formation.

Many people who believed the rumors even ran to the gate of the palace and begged the emperor to expel the evildoers.

……

Xia Wuyou, who lived in the palace, naturally knew about the abnormal situation in the city at the first time.

"Your Majesty, do you want the City Patrol to come forward to stabilize the situation?"

Feng, the leader of the eight divine servants, came to report to Xia Wuyou immediately after learning about the situation in the city early in the morning.

Ever since Xia Wuyou mastered the Human Emperor Sutra, Fenghuaxueyue and other eight divine servants have gradually switched from their original guarding duties to handling some government affairs for Xia Wuyou.

Xia Wuyou, who had been practicing all night, frowned when he heard the report. He looked at Feng who came to report the situation with a gloomy face and said, "It seems that someone really can't sit still, so he spread rumors everywhere."

Seeing the empress's grim expression, Feng hurriedly and cautiously said, "Your Majesty, these people are ignorant and don't know the reason. They just lost their judgment after listening to someone's slight instigation. Please make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid..."

Xia Wuyou shook his head slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The people are just not clear about the situation, so they are deceived. The key is that those who spread rumors behind the scenes are hateful."

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. However, if this situation is left unchecked, I am afraid it will have a great impact on the stability of the city."

Xia Wuyou stood up and kept walking back and forth, looking towards the back of the Human Emperor Palace from time to time, as if he was weighing something.

Feng, who saw this scene, naturally did not dare to urge, but silently lowered his head and waited.

Sure enough, after a while, Xia Wuyou finally seemed to have made up his mind and stopped walking. He looked at Feng Dao who had been waiting:

"Well, inform Cui Jue and send secret guards to investigate the person who spread the rumors behind the scenes. At the same time, issue a notice to inform the people so that everyone does not need to worry."

"As you command, I'll do it right away." Feng bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." Seeing Feng who was about to leave to carry out the mission, Xia Wuyou quickly called out to her.

Hearing the call, Feng quickly stopped, turned around and looked at Xia Wuyou and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"

"I will activate the Ten Absolute Formations later. You go outside the city and secretly mobilize the southern troops stationed in the city to maintain order." Feng, who had originally looked normal, could not help but look up at Her Majesty in shock after hearing the news, and asked in surprise: "What? Your Majesty is going to activate the Ten Absolute Formations?"

"What? Do you have any objections?" Xia Wuyou looked at Feng.

Feng lowered his head quickly, but he did not pause as he spoke: "I dare not, but once the Ten Absolute Formation is activated, all the practitioners in the city will be suppressed and become ordinary people. Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Hmph!" Xia Wuyou snorted coldly, and then his tone turned low and he said: "What I am going to do next is very special, I am afraid that many people will not agree. In order to prevent these people from causing trouble, I will naturally activate the Ten Absolute Formations to control the situation to an acceptable level."

"This..." Feng hesitated slightly, but her years of obedience made her nod and agree: "I understand."

"Go ahead, but remember to keep this a secret and don't let it leak out."

Watching his most trusted subordinate leave, Xia Wuyou called the maid on duty outside the palace and ordered her to summon Gu Cheng and others to come to the Human Emperor Palace to discuss matters.

Before activating the Ten Absolute Formations, she needed to inform a few people in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

At the very least, she needed to inform Gu Cheng, who was maintaining the current stable situation.

……

Beiqian Dragon Territory.

As the northernmost sea area of ​​Xianyuan Continent, the climate of Beiqianlong Territory is inherently colder than that of the other three seas.

At this time, deep in the seabed beneath the Beiqian Dragon Territory, an ice crystal dragon palace stood tall on the seabed.

And inside the Dragon Palace, an old man with blue hair and beard, a pair of dragon horns on his head, and a large area on his chest was sitting on the dragon throne with his eyes closed practicing.

Above its head, a huge dark blue bead chain rotated back and forth.

The entire North Sea Dragon Palace seemed very peaceful due to the influence of the pearl necklace.

If it weren't for the dragon warriors patrolling back and forth in the Dragon Palace, this world could even be said to be completely still.

However, this peaceful atmosphere was completely interrupted by a man who hurriedly walked into the Dragon Palace.

"Lord Dragon King, there is news from the demon tribe."

The old man who had been practicing with his eyes closed stopped practicing, and the dark blue bead necklace on his head stopped rotating and fell on the neck of the middle-aged man.

Suddenly opening his eyes, two rays of light shot out of his eyes, and the middle-aged man looked at the person who hurriedly walked into the Dragon Palace.

"Well, is there any news about the murderer who killed Ye'er?"

Facing the sharp gaze of His Majesty the Dragon King, the middle-aged man did not dare to hide anything and quickly replied: "Reporting to His Majesty the Dragon King, there is news about the person who killed Prince Ao Ye. His true identity is a human named Gu Cheng from the Daxia race."

"Gu Cheng?" The blue-haired old man stood up immediately upon hearing this, while muttering the name.

But soon, he turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who came to report the news and asked, "Do you have any specific information about this person?"

Seeing the Dragon King looking at him, the middle-aged man quickly told him everything he knew: "This, at the moment, nothing. I only know that the sect this person belongs to is called Changsheng Sect, and his specific cultivation level is unknown."

The blue-haired old man pondered for a moment, and then seemed to finally remember something. He looked at the middle-aged man and asked again: "Is there any news from the demon tribe? My son is dead, don't they have an explanation?" (End of this chapter)
