Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 251 Soul Locking Platform

The night banquet at the Broken Mirror Lake was still going on, with singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was getting more and more lively. How could the smart people present miss such a rare social opportunity?

King Yue smiled and from time to time raised his glass to the people below, showing his friendliness.

However, the black-robed aide beside Prince Yue disappeared without a trace. Did he leave early? This made those who wanted to get to know him secretly feel sorry for him.

The banquet was served and Zhou Zhong was still at the table, eating, drinking and watching the singing and dancing.

"Your Highness, Master Chen Feng has already left with his men. He left using the Divine Travel Talisman and did not choose the Cloud Leaping Technique."

"Haha, of course I don't dare to fly up there. There are sky-patrolling eyes watching all the time. Chen Jing is cautious and timid by nature. He won't be careless even if it's urgent. Calculating the time, with the magic talisman and Chen Jing's speed, it should take him nearly half an hour to reach Jizhou City, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness. According to our previous measurements of Master Chen Feng, with his speed and the magical talisman, he can reach Jizhou City in about half an hour."

"Very good! I finally got him out of here after all the effort. Haha, this old monster sleeps all day, and his brain doesn't work well after sleeping for a long time. I spent so much effort just to start a big battle to give him an advantage? What was he thinking? Tsk tsk."

Zhou Zhong was in a good mood. He drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and Lao Wen beside him quickly filled his cup.

"Are we all ready here?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything is ready. We can just wait for the right time to activate it."

Zhou Zhong smiled and nodded. In fact, he knew very well that there was nothing left for him to watch. As long as Chen Jing went to Jizhou City, the rest of the things would go according to plan. At least for the time being, he could not see any possible variables.

As the songs and dances ended, everyone at the banquet was laughing and talking, getting more and more drunk. Many people had already walked to the lake with their wine jugs, looking at the Broken Mirror Lake under the moonlight and were inspired to write poems, some were passionate, some were graceful, some were drunken, anyway, the atmosphere had reached a climax.

Suddenly, a cloud came from nowhere and blocked the moon, making the beautiful scenery of Mirror Lake under the moon disappear in an instant.

"Hahaha, God also feels that we are drunk today! He blocked the moon and stopped us from making any more noise!"

"Even Yue Wang hasn't left the table yet. The weather is really not good!"

"Sweep my poetic nature!"

"Hahaha, Brother Lin, you're still talking about poetry? Your line 'the moon is big and round' has already become a famous line through the ages, isn't that enough? Hahaha"

"Brother Li, it's a bit unkind of you to scold someone without exposing his shortcomings!"

A group of drunken officials were still lingering by the lake, their words no longer had the usual decorum, they were laughing and joking and there was no sense of seriousness. Especially the military commanders, many of them were staggering.

"What? Have you almost finished drinking?"

Suddenly, a friendly and non-drunk voice sounded behind the crowd at the lakeside. The drunk guys turned around and found that Yue Wang had come over, and some "calm" colleagues who had been sitting in their seats and not wandering around also followed.

"Your Highness!" "I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Highness!"

Even if he was drunk, he would not be ignorant of the rules when facing Zhou Zhongshi. Even if he was really drunk, his colleagues would help him sober up, and if he couldn't wake up, they would push him to the ground. Being drunk was better than talking nonsense in front of the prince.

Zhou Zhong didn't care. He waved his hand to stop the officials around him from being too polite. He pointed to the lake in front of him and said with a smile, "In fact, the absence of moonlight is a good thing. There are still some treasures in my Broken Mirror Lake, which are suitable for viewing at this time.

Can you guys take a look?"

Since a prince has said this, no matter what the people around him think, they will definitely cheer happily.

Zhou Zhong smiled happily and said, "Since you are so interested, I will show you the treasures of Broken Mirror Lake today!"

After saying that, Zhou Zhong took a few quick steps toward the lake.

"Be careful, my lord. There is water ahead."

Just when someone wanted to remind Zhou Zhong to be careful about the slippery water in the lake, they saw Zhou Zhong actually stepping on the water without getting his shoes wet, as if he was walking on flat ground, before they could finish their words.

Walking on water?!
Everyone was startled at this moment, and realized with horror that King Yue was actually an immortal!
A minor immortal master? Or a real immortal master?

Didn't they say that if the royal family wanted to cultivate immortality, they had to enter the Immortal Sect and leave their royal status? And they said it was a strict order from the Immortal Sect, so why could Prince Yue disobey it?
Or.
Thinking of this, many people broke out in cold sweats, and their drunkenness was sobered up a little. And suddenly, a bad premonition came over them, as if something very troublesome was going to happen.

Of course, most people were still drunk and were laughing and applauding, praising Yue Wang for being the best martial artist in the world.

It seemed that this was the first time that Zhou Zhong showed off his skills in front of so many people. His face was full of excitement. He walked ten feet away from the lakeside before stopping.

Then Zhou Zhong snapped his fingers, and a drop of blood flew out from his fingertips and fell into the lake.

The blood drop created a tiny splash of water and a few barely perceptible ripples. These should have disappeared in an instant, but strangely they became waves, with the point of impact as the center, one higher than the other, and they turned from tiny ripples into waves, spreading across the entire lake!
And as the clouds in the sky moved away, the moonlight began to shine again, and the lake surface appeared a deep red under the waves.

Like dark red blood.

What is this?! Everyone was asking in shock. Even the drunk guys couldn't laugh at this scene. They all knew that this scene was unusual, and a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts was creeping up on them little by little along with the rippling blood-red waves.

Looking at Zhou Zhong again, his smile became even more intense at this time. His hands kept changing hand seals and he was muttering something. His voice also changed from a small whisper at the beginning to a loud murmur along with the blood-red waves, and then it echoed throughout the Broken Mirror Lake. It was like a huge bell ringing in my ears, deafening!
Many people subconsciously wanted to move away at this time, but suddenly the sound of waves breaking was heard, and the shocking scene instantly interrupted the thoughts of almost everyone present.

In the center of the blood-red, surging lake, stone pillars suddenly stretched out of the water, followed by a triangular stone platform that broke through the water. In just ten or so breaths, the stone platform was completely revealed on the lake. It was about five or six feet in radius, but the stone pillars erected on it were nearly ten feet high!

What is this?
What is King Yue going to do?
"This is the Soul Locking Platform that I spent thirty-five years to build. Do you think it is majestic?"
