Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 603: Civil War in the Heavenly Palace
In a small tavern, Yang Qian sat at a small table facing the street, with a pile of braised meat, a pile of fennel beans, and a pot of old wine in front of him.

It is said to be an old brand, famous far and wide.

Yang Qian didn't have much wine in his storage bag, but he drank it all along the way. Today, he sat down in this tavern and tried the local wine and food.

This place is already in Qiliang Prefecture, and has reached the edge of Shiyuan Sea. It is called "Yantan Town".

"Hahaha! Yes, yes, yes! That's the taste! So good! So good!"

Yang Qian took two sips and detected that Tianmo Yinxiao was drinking to his heart's content in the prison. A jar of wine appeared in the air and was slowly poured into his mouth.

That was the wine that Yang Qian put in there. According to Yin Xiao, it was a reward for the journey.

Yang Qian walked for more than half a month. He found fourteen vague traces of the war along the way. However, it was too long ago, so Yang Qian couldn't understand them. For example, there were some stone tablets, or some nonsense stories hidden in the legends.

All of these revealed their true colors under Yin Xiao's explanation, and Yang Qian also gained a lot.

So when Yin Xiao wanted to drink, Yang Qian gave him more than a dozen jars. Otherwise, the stock in Yang Qian's storage bag would not have been gone so quickly.

"According to what you said, the Heavenly Palace is not fighting against your Xuling clan but an internal struggle?"

"That's for sure. You've seen it along the way. Those stone tablets are all biographies, and some even have some epitaph meaning. These are things that people will do after they die in battle. Although the content above is blurred, the place names and names that can be barely recognized are all from Tiangong's own people.

It's completely different from the naming convention of our Xu Ling clan.

Do you remember the "Observing Heaven's Secrets" mentioned on one of the stone tablets? That is the force that the Heavenly Palace uses to deal with its own internal troubles. They are all cold-blooded killers. It is the power directly managed by the King of Heaven.

Just think about it, the spies had to have their epitaphs written down, but they were left in the Beixuan Realm and could not be taken away in time. Not only was the battle fierce, but it was undoubtedly a civil war.

Especially the words "The King of the West is tyrannical" are mentioned in it. You can understand the literal meaning alone, right?

Tsk tsk, this is so strange. The Emperor of Heaven always talks about "harmony in the universe", but he never expected that there would be a bloodbath among his own people. He deserves it! Hahahaha"

This journey was undoubtedly the happiest time for Tianmo Yinxiao since he was locked up. Not only could he see the outside world, he no longer had to look at the heavy prison day after day, but he could also drink wine. The most important thing was that he found that his enemies had actually started fighting among themselves, and they were fighting to the death.

Is there anything more pleasing than seeing a fire in your enemy's backyard?
"What do you think caused the fierce fighting in the Heavenly Palace?" Yang Qian didn't think there was anything wrong with Yin Xiao's jubilation. He looked down on the Immortal Alliance, thinking it was no different from a gang of street thugs, so he naturally didn't have any good feelings towards the Heavenly Palace.

Whether the Heavenly Palace is good or bad has nothing to do with him now. What he needs to do now is to continue to unravel the war that happened more than ten thousand years ago. Yin Xiao also agrees with this.

After all, if Yang Qian wanted to ascend to immortality, he had to first figure out what happened that caused his immortal path to be cut off, and then he could find another way.

"The reason? Humph, something must have happened to Emperor Zhang Tian. Otherwise, with him suppressing the Heavenly Palace, there would be no internal strife, let alone fighting to this extent.

Little kid, you may not know how powerful a lower-level world like Beixuanjie is in the Heavenly Palace.

For example, the Northern Xuan Realm is like the Yantan Town we are in now, and the Tiangong belongs to the Hongwu Dynasty. Do you think that the ordinary internal fighting in the imperial city will affect such a small town? No! Only a subversive war across the country will cause such a small town to be impacted or even destroyed.

So you should understand, right? The Heavenly Palace must have suffered a great change. Emperor Zhang Tian may have been in great trouble.

This trouble is probably related to the great calamity of destiny that you mentioned before.

If I can gather my body again, I should be able to sense the direction of the secrets of this realm, and then it will be easier to judge. Unfortunately, the little kid won't let me. Hey."

"The Emperor of Heaven should be very powerful, right? Can't he resist the great calamity of destiny?" Yang Qian was curious about the situation of the strongest person in the Heavenly Palace facing the great calamity of destiny. But from what Yin Xiao said, it didn't seem to be a good thing. It was even the direct cause of the civil strife in the Heavenly Palace.

Indeed, if there is a strong person who can calm the situation, it is impossible for all parties inside to tear each other apart and start killing without caring about anything.

"When the great calamity of destiny strikes, it is not just a matter of the lower or upper worlds, but will affect the entire universe. No living being in it can escape.

And the stronger the life, the greater the erosion.

Just like sailing on a river or sea, the wind is hanging on the sail. The bigger the sail, the greater the force it receives. The smaller the sail, the smaller the force it receives.

The people who used to look down on the world from a high position are the most vulnerable in the face of the great calamity of destiny. You should know this. After all, in the Northern Xuan Realm, the great calamity of destiny also starts from the Tongxuan realm and takes lives below. On the contrary, ordinary people who are regarded as ants are basically not affected at all.

But the great calamity of destiny should not have passed yet, it is still in the intermission. "

"How do you know?" Yang Qian had never told Yin Xiao about the poisonous spiritual energy in Shuangqing Mansion before. He didn't expect that he could deduce the truth from a few simple clues.

As the saying goes, wisdom is actually a reflection of one’s experience, and it seems to make sense.

"It's very simple. You were able to cultivate to the Tongxuan realm and not die, but the Heavenly Palace left a place like the Beixuan Realm alone and even continued to drain the spiritual energy here. What else could it be for but to resist the great calamity of destiny?
So, time is of the essence for you, little kid. God knows when the great calamity of destiny will come again, and you will be in trouble. If you become an immortal, you may be able to find some places to hide. If you are trapped in this Beixuan Realm, you will have to be sealed up like I was, divided into several parts.

Otherwise, you will not be able to escape the fate of hunting down and killing."

"So do you have any idea?"

"I have no clue. The destiny has been messed up by the catastrophe. This means that all the clues are unreliable. We can only rediscover them.

After we have a drink, we will go to the Ten Yuan Sea to have a look. That was where the Ten Yuan Mountain used to be. It is the key to becoming an immortal and the passage connecting the middle and upper worlds. Even if it is broken, there should be more clues left than elsewhere. Maybe we can find a new way to become an immortal."

Yang Qian nodded when he heard this, ate the appetizers on the table, raised his glass as if to clink glasses with Yin Xiao in the prison, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Looking into the distance, you can see a vast expanse of mist and waves. Besides the noise from the street, you can also hear the sound of waves lapping in the distance.

And the surging spiritual energy blew into the small town with the wind.
