Chapter 195 The man behind the scenes, the Black Mountain Demon?
In the city of wrongful death in the underworld, the Black Mountain Old Demon heard the news that Cihang Pudu was dead, and even the corpse was not spared, and was stripped clean, leaving no bones.
For a moment, sitting on the throne, I was somewhat in disbelief.
"Are you sure that the old centipede is really dead?"
"My king is really dead. I saw it clearly. His bones were melted by those two guys. Not even a slag is left. The palace on earth is still in ruins."
"Okay, go down and arrange a few smart ones to keep an eye on that devil and make sure no trace of him is discovered."
"Yes."
When he was the only one left in the hall, the Black Mountain Old Demon frowned. He really was a little confused.
It shouldn't have happened that old man Cihang Pudu died so easily.
Even if the old centipede was seriously injured, relying on the strength of his physical body, ordinary human yang gods could not do anything to him.
The Yang Gods in the human world have not appeared for many years. Even if there are a few, they all hide in their own caves and will not come out.
Otherwise, this old centipede would have been finished long ago, let alone taking action at the critical moment when success was almost achieved.
Especially the little fellow who was only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, could actually transform into a demon, and easily control the demonic energy in the body of the possessed Cihang Pudu.
Where did this real demon come from?
Could he be the offspring of some demon god from the upper realm?
His mind was in a mess and the Black Mountain Old Demon couldn't figure it out in the end.
"Old centipede, old centipede, I really regret reaching an agreement with you. I can't get back what I lost this time."
I had intended to reap the benefits, but this old centipede was so useless that it was found and killed as soon as I got back.
His previous plan failed before it even started.
Although he can still achieve his goal, he will inevitably run into that kid.
I have no idea about that guy right now, and it would be terrible if I show up rashly and get into trouble.
He is not Cihang Pudu. In the entire cultivation world, no one has lived longer than him, and no one knows as many things as he does.
There are many secrets that even Cihang Pudu does not know or has never even heard of.
For example, why has the underworld changed, and why have those original underworld gods disappeared without a trace, leaving only a group of gods who assist the operation of the underworld by virtue of their status?
Also, with demons causing trouble in the human world, why is there no movement in heaven? Even after tens of thousands of years, it is as if heaven has disappeared without any trace.
The Black Mountain Demon knows all these secrets clearly.
Therefore, he was somewhat afraid that Zhou Yi could easily control the evil energy in the body of Cihang Pudu.
"However, we can test that boy."
"Someone is coming."
……
In the capital city, unrest was everywhere at this moment. A large number of people did not sleep during the fighting that night, but hid in their houses in fear, quietly waiting for news from the court.
But when the door is opened during the day, everything in the palace comes into view.
It was a ruin, and the extremely cold ice emitted a strong chill, making the scorching summer a little cooler.
But the countless centipedes frozen in the ice, some as big as three or four meters long and some as small as chopsticks, were lifelike and not fake.
Looking inside the collapsed wall, there was also the same ruins, with corpses lined up inside, and the smell of blood swept across the entire capital city with a gust of wind.
"The Emperor is dead!"
"The world, the world is going to be in chaos again!"
Some people were cheering on the long street, while others were hurrying home, hiding all the valuables in their homes and buying food in advance.
Although we have never experienced the collapse of a dynasty, this is everyone's own stress response.
The streets were in chaos, but the city gates had been completely blocked at this moment. The soldiers from the capital camp took over the city defense early in the morning and directly controlled the entire capital, not allowing anyone to leave the city.
Although the city was still in chaos, no looting or rioting was observed.
Inside the Jinyiwei Yamen, Captain Zuo had a look of worry and unrest on his brow.
"What should we do now? His Majesty is dead, and there is no one alive in the palace. We can't even get in."
"Yes, the commander ran away with his family last night. Now the city gates are blocked and we can't get out."
"I'm afraid General Xu of the capital camp is going to rebel."
Captain Zuo sat in the main seat, and on both sides were those from the Jinyiwei who had not escaped last night, including three captains and a dozen centurions.
The Jinyiwei is now leaderless, and Zuo Qianhu is a martial arts expert and a loyal man, so he is now elected as the leader.
He was also very annoyed at the moment. As a soldier, killing enemies on the battlefield was something he was good at.
Even after retiring from the army and joining the Jinyiwei as a captain, he still acted according to Shanfeng's orders.
But now, I have become the supreme leader.
He has absolutely no idea about politics!
However, now that the Beijing Camp has been blocked, General Xu's intention is very clear. The only way is to stabilize General Xu and then find members of the royal family to stabilize the situation and prevent the news from spreading completely.
As for those who took advantage of the chaos to escape last night, they probably won't spread the news in a short time, after all, those people all hold high positions.
Once the news spreads, heroes from all over the world will rise up and their status and power will disappear.
After the situation stabilized, their foundation was still there, and they were still the superior ones when they returned.
After thinking for a long time, Captain Zuo looked up at his colleagues and said bluntly: "Everyone, you all know what the situation is now, and I don't want to say more."
"Those who can stay are all brothers, and are also loyal subjects of the Great Zhou!"
"Zuo will not beat around the bush. Now that General Xu has blocked the city gates, it may seem like there are seeds of rebellion, but blocking this news is not a bad thing."
"If people can't leave, what's happening in the capital can't spread, and the world can't be in chaos."
"How many available personnel do our Jinyiwei have in the city?"
"I still have three hundred people here, four hundred here, and seventy here..."
The scattered reports barely add up to about a thousand people.
This includes the logistics personnel in the major government offices on weekdays. The actual combat personnel are probably less than 600 people.
"A thousand people, leaving aside the logistics and others, about 600 combatants are enough."
"Even if General Xu really has some intentions, our Jinyiwei can resist for a while."
"The most important thing now is to find a new royal family member to ascend the throne."
"When the new emperor ascends the throne, the world will not be in chaos, and General Xu will be unable to do anything even if he wants to."
After Zuo Qianhu finished speaking, he began to arrange tasks.
"Mobilize all personnel in each region to find out if there are any royal descendants alive in the capital. Although His Majesty carried out a purge back then, there should still be collateral bloodlines left."
"I'll go and hold General Xu back."
"it is good!"
Waiting for everyone to leave, Captain Zuo sat in the main seat with a helpless look on his face.
He really doesn't feel comfortable sitting in this position. He really can't handle political matters that require thinking.
That's all I can think of now.
"Oh, what's going on..."
"what's up?"
"Of course it's a good thing."
A figure suddenly appeared in the hall. Captain Zuo looked up suddenly and instantly met Zhou Yi's eyes.
"It's you!" "Haha, it seems that Zuo Qianhu has a good memory."
Zhou Yi sat down, picked up the pastries on the plate and started eating.
"What is the purpose of your visit, Immortal?"
Feeling somewhat alert, Zuo Qianhu looked at the man in front of him. Although he had done him a favor, he was not here at this time. After what happened last night...
Zhou Yi clapped his hands, looked at Zuo Qianhu and said, "Okay, stop guessing."
"I was indeed present at the fight in the palace last night."
Clang!
The long sword was unsheathed, the blood in the body began to circulate unconsciously, and the skin began to turn into glass little by little.
"Oh, that's not bad. It's been less than two months and you've already completed the Glazed Body and entered the first calamity of the Three Calamities of Glazed Body."
"Extraordinary talent!"
Zhou Yi looked at Zuo Qianhu with appreciation and waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, sit down and talk first."
"You should have seen what happened last night, the giant golden centipede, the thunder in the sky, the frozen imperial city, and so on."
"That golden centipede is the Imperial Master Cihang Pudu whom you all admire every day."
"what!"
Captain Zuo’s eyes widened in disbelief. The usually amiable Imperial Master who did many good deeds was actually the centipede monster?
"Don't be so surprised. I met you on the road to the capital before, and I came to the capital for this matter."
"You often go out on missions, and you have been to many places in the world. You should know the living conditions of the people nowadays."
"All of this is thanks to the deceased Great Zhou Emperor."
"Born without any achievements, in order to achieve immortality, he invited wolves into his house and attracted centipede monsters, which was also the fundamental reason for the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the centipede demon used the national destiny of the Great Zhou to cultivate. Even if there hadn't been a battle last night, the Great Zhou would still fall apart in a year at most."
"The disintegration at that time was even more serious than it is now."
"Your Majesty of the Great Zhou has been poisoned a long time ago. His energy and spirit are seriously depleted. He won't live long."
"So, even if the Great Zhou doesn't perish now, it will perish later?"
"good."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "So, even if the Jinyiwei you arranged finds a royal disciple to inherit the throne, they can only sit on the throne for a month at most."
"Instead of wasting time, I wonder if you are willing to help a true latent dragon become a real dragon and let the world rest in peace."
"How can we verify the truth of what the Immortal said?"
"Haha, you know the truth and falsehood in your heart. I am just stating the facts."
"What about Qianlong's candidate?"
Facing Zuo Qianhu's question, Zhou Yi spread his hands and said, "Of course I don't know."
"So the Immortal Master wants to cause chaos in the world, so that warlords can fight for their own country and let the people of the Central Plains experience war again?"
"Do you know, Immortal Master, that foreign races are still eyeing us covetously? If the Central Plains is in chaos and foreign races take advantage of the situation to invade, the Central Plains will be leaderless, so how can they resist?"
"Don't worry about that."
Zhou Yi already had a plan in mind.
"I will deal with the foreign races. As for the Central Plains, don't look at some things so one-sidedly."
"Some things are time to break."
"As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction, and only after destruction can construction be established."
"If the rules are not broken, what will happen if I survive for another month?"
"I came to find you for only one thing."
Zhou Yi stared at Zuo Qianhu and his expression became serious.
"After all, I have done you a favor, and you are not someone who cannot tell right from wrong."
"The Great Zhou will surely perish. This will not change in any way."
"I am not a person who seeks repayment for favors. I need your help with something."
"I read a fortune last night. There is a hidden dragon in the north. He has the aura of an emperor and should be the future leader. You should go to the north to find this person and do your best to assist him. In the future, you can become a dragon's follower. Are you willing?"
Zhou Yi's words made Zuo Qianhu hesitate: "Since you have figured it out, why don't you go find it yourself?"
"Since the centipede monster devours the country's luck and cultivates, the immortal leader cannot devour the country's luck and cultivate."
"Ha, Captain Zuo, you are comparing me to that old centipede."
"In short, I came here to plan a future for you. It's up to you whether you want it or not."
"That's all I have to say. Goodbye."
After that, Zhou Yi disappeared in the palace and returned home. Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly asked, "How is my husband?"
"Hey, Captain Zuo is also a foolishly loyal person, so let's just let this matter go."
"I will decide on the new emperor as soon as possible, but I'm afraid I'll have to travel around in the next few days."
You have to pay for the evil you have done.
Although he could just let it go, Zhou Yi couldn't bear to let the war continue. The common people would be the ones who would suffer. After all, he had been the emperor and the marquis for several years and knew the hardships involved.
I can't stand this kind of chaos.
"It's okay. Xiaoqian is already very happy to be with her husband."
"But this matter depends on the two of us. I don't know when we can find the true dragon emperor."
"Who said it's just the two of us?"
"Isn't it that Yan Chixia is here too? He also has a great responsibility in this matter. Why do you want to quit?"
Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "I'm afraid Brother Yan will bother you again."
"Hey, why should I be afraid of him?"
The next morning, Zhou Yi sent a letter to Yan Chixia and left the capital directly.
And on the fourth day after he left, news came from the capital.
"The emperor has passed away, and the new emperor has ascended the throne."
Zhou Yi, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't help but frown when he heard the news: "That's not right."
"Even if Captain Zuo and his men found that member of the side branch of the royal family, it would be impossible for them to complete everything so quickly."
"Not only did he ascend the throne in four days, but he also issued an imperial decree to announce it to the world."
"There are people behind this."
Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian said lightly, "Could it be that General Xu is also loyal to the Great Zhou, so..."
"Absolutely impossible. You and I have both seen this man. He has the look of an eagle and a wolf. How could he possibly give up the throne that he has obtained?"
"There is definitely someone behind this."
"But extending life by one month is also a good thing. It gives us more time."
Having said that, Zhou Yi felt that the person behind this might not be that simple. It was too coincidental, and the timing was too accurate. It was as if it was planned in advance. (End of this chapter)
