Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 471: An unexpected situation occurred, the imperial seal was replaced?
"Sixth brother, you seem to be in a good mood!"

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was complicated and the etiquette was cumbersome. Even those old fellows who were very good at cultivating their qi became a little annoyed.

After a series of ceremonies, nearly an hour and a half had passed. There were inevitably whispers in the crowd. Princes Xiao Chong, Xiao Chuhe, and Xiao Yu were in the front of the team, very close to each other. Xiao Yu glanced at the two brothers of Lao Shen beside him and curled his lips.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

Xiao Se replied suddenly, almost choking Xiao Yu to death.

Offering sacrifices to heaven is a major event for the royal family. It is a way of praying to heaven to protect Beili from continuous blessings. It is also a way of showing strength. As a descendant of the Xiao family, you share the same fate with the country. Why are you in a bad mood? Is this because you are dissatisfied with the court or with Emperor Mingde?
“Okay~~”

Xiao Yu replied with a wry smile.

"That's it."

Xiao Se made the finishing blow at the right time. Xiao Yu, who was originally in a good mood because of his plan, was not in as good a mood as before.

"Haha, I hope Sixth Brother's mood will always be good."

Xiao Se glanced at Xiao Yu and didn't say anything else. Thinking of what Xiao Lingchen had said to him last night, his eyes began to wander around the scene.

If he were Xiao Yu, when would he choose to take action? Where would he choose to do it? To kill the king? Or to create chaos at the scene and then take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters?

But after a while, Xiao Se withdrew his gaze again.

"Forget it, let's just fight back against the enemy with our own troops and block the flood with earth!"

Xiao Se sighed in his heart. He was not Xiao Yu. He could not guess what the other person was thinking. After all, he was not the worm in the other person's stomach.

"Your Majesty, this."

Emperor Mingde took the jade seal and stamped the prayer text. He didn't pay much attention to this process. After all, he had never made any mistakes in these small matters during all these years since he ascended the throne. But when Zhuoqing took the prayer text and was about to put it in the incinerator, his face froze.

"Zhuoqing, what's wrong?"

Emperor Mingde looked at Zhuoqing, his voice a little low.

He didn't want anything unexpected to happen in such an occasion, as all the civil and military officials in the court were watching!
Zhuoqing's mouth twitched and he swallowed the words. Emperor Mingde was standing at the front and only he could see what was happening. The civil and military officials below were still some distance away from here, so they had no idea what was going on.

"nothing."

Zhuoqing lowered his eyelids and hid all the fluctuations in his eyes in his heart. It was obvious that he understood what Emperor Mingde meant.

Emperor Mingde glanced at the prayer text inconspicuously. He was the one who read the words on it and there was no mistake. That is to say, even if there was a problem, it could only be when it was printed at the end. Seeing the prayer text turning into wisps of green smoke in the flames, the eyes of the lord of Beili Jiangshan became very cold.

There was a problem with the imperial seal.

Xiao Yu, who was standing by, was stunned when he saw this scene.

Although he had never seen what a fake jade seal looked like, he had seen the real one. Besides, he didn't think Anhe would dare to play tricks on him about such a thing.

He frowned and looked at Emperor Mingde and Grand Eunuch Zhuoqing, but both of them were very good at cultivating their qi, and it was impossible to tell anything unusual from their expressions.

"Jinyan, come to see me in the imperial study when you return to the palace later."

After the ceremony, Xiao Yu suddenly heard these words and his heart moved. It seemed that the thing should have been done, but Emperor Mingde had been forbearing and did not explode immediately.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu smiled coldly in his heart.

He did so much, not to let the matter go unresolved. When he made the arrangements before, he had already made a backup plan. If Emperor Mingde and Zhuoqing could not see the flaw, then he would help. Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.

Zhuoqing and the four supervisors protected Emperor Mingde behind them without any hesitation.

A drake's voice echoed through the altar.

"Someone, come and protect the emperor! There's an assassin!"

Xiao Se moved his right hand, and the Wuji stick came out from his long sleeves and was grasped in his hand. Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu also had a long sword in their hands at the same time, and their eyes swept through the crowd.

But then a hidden weapon shot out from the back of the crowd at an extremely fast speed.

Xiao Se narrowed his eyes slightly. It was not a wise move to assassinate someone in this situation.

And looking at this attack, there was a lot of thunder but little rain, which was obviously contrary to common sense.

"wrong."

The Wuji stick in Xiao Se's hand moved, and the shadow of the stick became a barrier that blocked him. Xiao Chong had little combat experience, and his Free and Easy Heaven Realm was also created by someone else. Facing this scene, his reaction was much slower. He looked at Xiao Se's actions with some confusion. There was only one hidden weapon, was there any need to make such a fuss?
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes. He was the one who arranged the back-up plan, so he naturally knew the trick. However, he did not expect Xiao Se's reaction to be so quick.

Just as Xiao Se was waving the Wuji Stick to protect his body, the hidden weapon that was shot from a distance suddenly exploded in mid-air, like flowers scattered by a fairy, and turned into countless hidden weapons.

"Flowers flying from thousands of trees!"

Someone immediately revealed this shocking hidden weapon technique.

The best hidden weapon technique in the world is Tang Sect's Wanshu Feihua. It is a supreme technique that only the core disciples of Tang Sect can master. Its power is not inferior to the top techniques of various major sects.

Xiao Yu took a step back and stood beside the Chief Eunuch Jin Xian, ready for battle.

However, before the hidden weapon could fly in front of the crowd, a loud bang exploded around the altar.

"boom!!"

The violent explosion stirred up a cloud of dust, and almost in an instant, everything around was covered in thick smoke and dust.

Zhuoqing and other eunuchs guarding Emperor Mingde all looked unhappy. Zhuoqing clapped his hands and a strong wind suddenly blew up from the ground. Before the smoke and dust could rise, it was blown away by the wind.

"Thunderbolt!!"

Zhuo Qing closed his palms and stood up, looking towards Xiao Se. There were only a few big and small cats in the Tang Sect now, and there were probably less than one palm that could control Ten Thousand Trees Flying Flowers.

The current old master of the Tang Clan is Tang Lianyue, who is currently a guest at the desolate Xueluo Villa. The Thunderbolt comes from the Lei Family of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, and is the representative item of the Lei Clan, with great power.

Combining the two, it is hard not to wonder whether this time of practicing martial arts was Xiao Se's intention.

"It's so fake, it makes me look like a fool."

Xiao Se put away his stick and stood there, speechless. Even if it was a false accusation, he had to make it more realistic. By using Wan Shu Fei Hua and Pi Li Zi directly, wasn't he telling the world openly that today's assassination was his idea?

Zhuoqing's mouth twitched and his eyes froze. Indeed, the acting was too fake.

"Oh no! The imperial seal has been swapped."

Jin Yan looked at the opened box in his hand and his expression suddenly changed.
