Chapter 1597: Chapter 1590: Heaven-Shaking Sacrifice (Part 4)
Swish.
A cold glint shot over.
Master Chen’s eyes turned cold.
The cold glint landed on the soft couch of the carriage, piercing deeply into the wood, but it was just a piece of paper.
Master Chen opened the paper.
There were only a few words on it.
"Twin Emperors fall, Heaven and Earth revealed, Wangjing tomb."
Master Chen’s eyes changed.
He put down the jug of wine in his hand.
He originally did not want to meddle in this matter.
But if both emperors fell, and someone intended to bury Wangjing’s thousands of citizens, it could not be tolerated in silence.
Ssss—
From the gourd, the Little Jade Flood Dragon peeked out sneakily, trying to sip wine.
"Yu, it seems we have no choice but to intervene."
Master Chen said, then he grabbed the wine gourd and the Little Jade Flood Dragon, his figure vanished, leaving the carriage parked at the roadside.
At the auspicious hour, within Haotian Platform, bells and drums resonated, music and songs played.
The officiants in white robes, along with Prince Yuan, began the blessings on each level of Haotian Platform.
The blessing ritual was originally the duty of the Fuzhou Emperor, but due to his frail health in recent years, Prince Yuan took over.
From the first level to the forty-ninth level, it was no easy task.
Prince Yuan circled each level.
The sky grew darker and darker.
An hour later, the entire Wangjing was devoid of daylight.
The sky pressed heavily, as if it might collapse at any moment.
In the city, only the Haotian Platform emitted bright light.
When Prince Yuan reached the forty-ninth level, the blessings came to an end.
Prince Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Earlier, Xin Lin said Hua Yaorao might attempt an assassination, but up until now, there was no sign of Hua Yaorao, suggesting today’s ceremony would proceed without incident.
And the Heaven and Earth Devouring Spirit Array showed no signs of activation.
The officiants had already knelt down, and Prince Yuan knelt too, bowing three times towards the east.
Just as he completed the last bow, Haotian Platform slightly trembled.
A bright yellow light fell upon Prince Yuan.
Hosting the Hao Tian Festival brought benefits to Prince Yuan as the Emperor’s Fortune on him thickened considerably.
"Third Sister, the Hao Tian Festival is about to end, it seems Hua Yaorao’s people did not dare to come."
Tu Suxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"No... it hasn’t ended yet. It’s just beginning."
Xin Lin said solemnly.
"What?"
Tu Suxuan was shocked.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept towards the direction of the Fuzhou Emperor.
"Emperor!"
A cry of alarm, Noble Princess Consort Zhu’s face turned pale.
Several black shadows darted towards the Fuzhou Emperor.
The shadows, filled with ghostly energy, were ghosts.
Blood spread everywhere.
The Fuzhou Emperor’s throat was clawed open by a ghost claw, and his body crashed to the ground.
The mortal eye could not see, but the Emperor’s Fortune flowed out from the Fuzhou Emperor.
The auspicious energy silently, along with blood, dyed the ground red.
On the ground, the old and incomplete lines of the Heaven and Earth Devouring Spirit Array quickly absorbed the Emperor’s blood upon contact.
The lines cracked bit by bit, and some broken lines rapidly repaired.
On Haotian Platform, Prince Yuan heard sounds of chaos, his face changed in shock.
He did not expect that Hua Yaorao’s people would not target him first, but rather his father.
"Father!"
But almost at the same time, a cold wind swept in.
Multiple ghostly shadows rushed towards Prince Yuan.
"Protect the Crown Prince."
From among the spectators, Ghost Shiva coldly commanded.
The robes of the officiants around Prince Yuan suddenly tore open, revealing their true forms, they were Fengdong’s ghost soldiers.
