Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

The calm in Chang'an was like the final, oppressive silence before a storm; everyone held their breath, awaiting the thunderous upheaval on the day of the abdication ceremony.

In fact, quite a few changes have taken place behind the scenes.

In Zhu Jun's residence, he had a heart-to-heart talk with his sons and relatives, including Zhu Hao, and secretly told them to leave the capital in the near future.

Although the clever Zhu Hao did not know the specifics of what had happened or the abdication ceremony, he could sense the turmoil in Chang'an. He wanted to leave with his father, Zhu Jun, but Zhu Jun refused.

Subsequently, Zhu Hao and the others quietly left Chang'an in batches...

This situation also occurred at Huangfu Song's residence.

Huangfu Jianshou and others also quietly left Chang'an City following their father's instructions.

Whether Dong Zhuo succeeded in usurping the Han throne or Wang Yun's plan succeeded, they always felt that Chang'an would not have a smooth transition...

Therefore, many participants secretly relocated their clansmen.

In fact, this approach is very risky and could expose Wang Yun's plan. Wang Yun had specifically instructed others to do so beforehand, since all of his family members were in Chang'an.

However, with Li Ru now missing and most teleportation arrays sealed off, information is not flowing smoothly, so it hasn't caused much of a stir.

The daily flow of people in Chang'an City is no less than 100,000, and even a few thousand more people occasionally will not cause a stir.

A day later, the formation on the ground was completed. Zhu Xuan followed the five men in black from the reclusive families and quietly arrived at a hidden underground palace at a certain location on the Heavenly Staircase of the Temple of Heaven through a secret passage on the side of the main hall.

Zhu Xuan truly hadn't expected that such a prestigious place as the Temple of Heaven would be so meticulously planned. This was the first time he had ever participated in such a high-level scheme!

Zhu Xuan, accompanied by the veiled woman, followed closely behind, descending a long flight of steps. Inside the underground palace, a half-person-high altar had already been erected. In the center of the altar were three white jade slabs engraved with concentric knot patterns. The white jade slabs stood upright, each engraved with a mystical design. Upon closer inspection, the patterns on each white jade slab were different. The white jade slab in the very center was engraved with a Qilin totem, while the white jade slabs on the sides were engraved with constellation patterns.

Upon seeing the white jade slab, Zhu Xuan felt a chill run down his spine; it corresponded perfectly to the destinies of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!

The man in black gently unfolded the imperial edict that had been forcibly inserted into the sworn brotherhood and then placed it on the white jade slab engraved with a qilin pattern.

Then he placed the small, gray pagoda in front of the white jade slab with the Qilin pattern.

The moment the small pagoda landed, the entire underground palace trembled slightly. Faint black lines spread along the altar, quickly covering the white jade slab with the Qilin pattern along strange lines.

Then came two other white marble slabs.

Before long, three wisps of gray mist surged and dispersed.

“Mmm…” The five men in black began chanting incomprehensible incantations.

"Buzz!~~~" As the incantation was chanted, the gray mist began to churn violently.

Soon, the mist condensed into three figures, floating above the white jade slab.

"Rumble!~~~" However, as soon as the figure appeared, a violent tremor began. Not only the figure trembled, but the entire underground palace shook!
"The Tower of Fate, activate!!!"

"Habitual tendencies manifest!!!" the leader of the men in black shouted, and the next moment the ancient little tower suddenly emitted a dense gray aura.

The hazy aura enveloped the three figures, as if it wanted to bind them and slowly calm them down.

After that, the tremors stopped, and no other unusual phenomena occurred.

"Phew! Formation complete!!" The leader of the men in black breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Meanwhile, outside, three stars flashed intensely in the dark night sky, their brilliant starlight momentarily disappearing into the darkness.

Such an anomalies are only noticeable to those who specialize in stargazing; otherwise, they are merely fleeting phenomena that pass in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who were located in the Imperial Clan Court, were sleeping on the same bed. A hazy aura emanated from their bodies, but it quickly dissipated, and none of them felt anything at all...

Inside the underground palace beneath the main hall, Zhu Xuan watched the five people resting and really wanted to ask, "Will this technique work on Lin Mu?!"

However, judging from their appearance, they seemed to have expended a lot of energy, so he decided to leave that matter aside for the time being. At the same time, he thought of the territory he had established before, and wanted to know where that special Heavenly Rank Village Building Token had gone, and who had breached his secret core territory.

He had many questions he wanted to ask, but he held back... taking things one step at a time.

……

Lin Mu and the others were completely unaware of the situation at the Temple of Heaven.

But he received reports of other unusual phenomena.

Whether it's the tributary where Mei County is located or the main stream of the Yellow River, the water is now twice as turbulent and rapid!
The already turbulent Yellow River and other rivers have become even more dangerous, and many fishermen dare not fish during this period.

There were many cities, towns, and villages built along the Yellow River, and this incident caused considerable turmoil.

Not only that, many people can even hear strange roars coming from the mountains and rivers, not like the roars of ferocious beasts, but like roars that come from the mountains.

Furthermore, as time went on, players discovered that the yields from their crops had experienced a sharp decline.

The sky and earth are parched, the land is cracked, and the rivers have dried up!

While rivers in other parts of China have dried up, the Yellow River is surging and flowing, which is clearly abnormal.

This strange phenomenon gave all the feudal lords a premonition that a great change was about to happen in the world!
Dong Zhuo's usurpation of the Han throne may actually be successful!

Dong Zhuo, who was firmly in control of Mei County, was overjoyed upon hearing the report of the strange phenomenon. He held a banquet with his generals, including Fan Chou, Guo Si, Li Jue, Niu Fu, and Zhang Ji, and drank wildly for three days and three nights.

Afterwards, the generals returned to their posts to guard the city.

Upon returning to Huayin City in Hongnong Prefecture, Zhang Ji immediately led his men to the central square in front of the city lord's mansion.

In the square, a pillar, large enough for five people to encircle, had already been set up and covered with a black cloth.

Then, he pulled up the black cloth, stepped forward, took out a jade talisman, crushed it, and then left the square with his men.

The square was heavily guarded.

This same scene was unfolding in other target cities guarded by Xiliang generals.

As everyone began to move, the Yellow River, which had been raging, gradually calmed down a little, but it was still not as calm as before.

As time went by, the Yellow River began to emit terrifying roars, as if something horrible was hidden within it!

In addition to guarding the city's waterways and the Yellow River's waterways, Zhang Ji and other generals from Xiliang were also responsible for guarding certain other things...

Meanwhile, somewhere else, a gaunt figure, constantly coughing, was performing some kind of ritual.

If Lin Mu were here, he would definitely recognize this person as none other than the vanished Li Ru!
"Cough cough cough!~~~~~"

"Cough cough!~~"

"Cough cough~"

A violent cough echoed through the air.

Upon closer inspection, there was no one else around Li Ru. The place he was in appeared to be a mansion…

"The Black Emperor Dragon Suppressing Formation has been activated, and the abdication ceremony begins at this moment. The lord's destiny, fortune, and fate will gradually increase over time, reaching their peak on the day he leaves Mei County!"

"May Heaven bless Xiliang, may Heaven ordain Daqi!!" Li Ru roared to the heavens.

After saying that, he slowly collapsed.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he woke up again and staggered towards the thatched hut not far away... (End of Chapter)
