Seventy miles away from the imperial capital, thousands of men in black from the Demon Sect gathered in one place, quietly waiting for orders.

But soon, following the report from the scouts, Qiu Ninglu suddenly became curious after discovering that the Rizong people who had already arrived near the city began to retreat.

Fortunately, everyone in the Rizong only retreated thirty miles and then stopped, as if they were waiting for something.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Ninglu finally decided to stay put and wait and see.

……

On the head of the imperial capital, Li Zhong stared at the empress dowager who was standing alone on the spot with an ugly expression, feeling very entangled in his heart.

He also didn't expect that these people actually left as soon as they said they would, and really left the current empress dowager under the city.

Regardless of the danger of the invasion of evil spirits, just in the current ice and snow, an ordinary person like the Queen Mother would not be able to withstand the biting cold if she stood in the snow for a long time.

At that time, once the empress dowager really freezes to death outside the city, let alone myself, no one will be able to bear the consequences!
In fact, not only he saw this, but other generals guarding the city also saw this, and they all spoke again to persuade:

"General, it's better to open the city gate and let the empress dowager come in. In case, I'm afraid the consequences are not something you and I can afford."

"Yes, General, those people have left now. As long as we are careful, there will be no problem!"

……

Li Zhong turned his head and glanced at his subordinates, of course he knew that they were also afraid that he would really persevere to the end, and if something happened to the Empress Dowager, he was afraid that they would be involved.

Why doesn't he know this?
It's just that for some reason, his heart is always pounding, and he always feels as if something terrible will happen as soon as he opens the city gate.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't detect what went wrong?
The evil spirits did not appear, and the tens of thousands of Rizong disciples who he considered a threat also left and disappeared from his field of vision.

Judging from the current situation, as long as I move fast enough, even if those people don't leave, this distance is completely too late.

After thinking about it again and again, facing the expectant gazes of his subordinates and the figure standing alone outside the imperial capital, Li Zhong finally suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and ordered the formation to be closed and the city gate to be opened.

After hearing the decision of the general Li Zhong, all the soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked out of the city together.

Sensing the movement on the top of the city, Huang Yunqing immediately raised his head to look at the top of the city, and then heard Li Zhong's voice sounded again: "Please wait, Empress Dowager, it's just time to close the formation and open the city gate. It is urgent, and the Empress Dowager is invited to enter the city as soon as the city gate opens, without delay."

After hearing Li Zhong's words, Huang Yunqing secretly smiled inwardly.

Sure enough, no matter who it is, they can't bear the crime of intentionally murdering the current empress dowager. It seems that my plan has already succeeded in half.

She didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Seeing this scene, Li Zhong didn't say anything more, and immediately called the other three to prepare to close the formation temporarily.

Fortunately, what happened here has already been notified to the other three city gate guards.

Therefore, when Li Zhonghui told the other three people about this matter, especially after seeing that the current empress dowager was indeed outside the city, the three of them immediately agreed.

After the four people made their decision, each person took out a broken seal that represented rights.

The four of them injected true energy into the incomplete seals respectively, and then directly merged the four incomplete seals into one.

A red disk with complex graphics and text on it appeared above the heads of the four people.

Almost at the same time, the red light net that originally covered the city seemed to be affected by something and gradually disappeared after the discs closed.

This kind of disappearance does not disappear instantly, but slowly disappears as time goes by, and finally stops completely.

And this is also the reason why Li Zhong has always been worried.

Because this formation not only requires four people to work together to open and close at the same time, but also takes a while in the middle process.

Therefore, once it is opened, it cannot be closed halfway unless it is guaranteed to be safe for four weeks.

If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, no matter what, he wouldn't have closed the formation without the evil spirit showing his face.

Fortunately, this closing process did not last too long.

Soon, the Ten Jue Formations of Heaven and Earth that originally covered the entire Imperial City were completely shut down.

As the heavy south city gate opened, a group of soldiers responsible for welcoming them appeared in front of Huang Yunqing. For the sake of caution, Li Zhong and the four of them did not come out to greet them. Instead, they were ready at any time. As long as Huang Yunqing stepped into the city, In an instant, they immediately closed the formation.

And seeing that it was only a group of ordinary soldiers who came out to greet him, Huang Yunqing naturally knew the other party's thoughts immediately.

However, how could she let the opponent reopen the formation so easily?

Looking at the group of soldiers approaching him, Huang Yunqing remained unmoved at all. He just said lightly: "Where's Li Zhong? Let him come out to see me!"

Seeing this, the Queen Mother actually started to put on airs again. The deputy general who came out to greet the Queen Mother hurriedly explained: "The Queen Mother, please enter the city quickly. General Li is maintaining the city defense formation and cannot come out to greet the Queen Mother for the time being. Please forgive me, my queen."

Hearing that it was as expected, Huang Yunqing sneered secretly in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly: "Either let Li Zhong come out to meet the Empress, or you can just close the city gate. Let's see how you will explain to my son when the time comes!"

After saying that, in order to show her determination, she simply turned around, with her back to the city, and ignored the deputy general's pleas, insisting that Li Zhong come out to greet her.

In desperation, the deputy general could only quickly enter the city and inform Li Zhong of the current situation.

The three generals who were ready to activate the formation with Li Zhong at any time were all furious when they heard the words, but they had nothing to do in the face of this situation.

In the end, Li Zhong gave in.

He told the other three generals not to leave yet. After he welcomed the Queen Mother into the city, he would immediately come and join forces with the four of them to activate the formation again.

But when he was about to leave the city, Li Zhong didn't know why, and suddenly his heart moved, and he temporarily handed over the incomplete seal that he was in charge of to the deputy general, and asked him to stay here to wait for the time being.

After doing all this, Li Zhong immediately flew out of the city, ready to personally welcome the empress dowager into the city!
Soon, when Li Zhong led a group of soldiers to appear outside the city again, they saw that the Queen Mother was indeed facing the direction of the city as the deputy general said.

Although Li Zhong felt that the empress dowager was very disgusted by her display at this time, he didn't say much at this time, and he quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute: "This general, Li Zhong, respectfully invites the empress dowager to enter the city."

After his words fell, the empress dowager, who had been turning her back to him, finally turned around and said with a smile: "Li Zhong, you have finally come out."

When Li Zhong heard the words and was about to respond, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

The next moment, before he figured out where this sense of crisis came from, his whole body was instantly frozen by an endless chill.

And the small group of people who followed him out of the city to meet them were also frozen in an instant almost at the same time.

Huang Yunqing glanced sideways at Li Zhong who was frozen by him, and said with a slight smile: "You are very vigilant, but your cultivation level is too poor!"

Everyone on the top of the city was shocked when they saw this sudden scene, but before they could shout out, they saw the disciples of the Ten Thousand Ris Sect who had disappeared from sight in the distance once again appeared in their sight. among.

Moreover, he moved closer to himself at an extremely fast speed.

Finally, when the first exclamation sounded, the entire city was completely in chaos.

"Enemy attack! Close the city gate..."

Huang Yunqing didn't pay attention to these situations. After failing to find the incomplete seal from Li Zhong, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

Without the slightest hesitation, she quickly flew into the city without even having time to kill everyone who had been frozen by her.

Although the generals who reacted immediately came to stop them, in the end they could only turn into ice sculptures, standing in place unable to move.

This snowy weather made her Xuanbing Divine Art even more powerful.

During the decades in the palace, she knew the layout of the city better than anyone else.

Therefore, she naturally knew that once the four incomplete seals were merged again using a special method, the formation would be opened again and there was no way to stop it.

At that point, no one else can turn it off or turn it on unless they know the key.

Therefore, no matter what, she must prevent the formation from restarting before the four incomplete seals merge again!
With a sweep of consciousness, Huang Yunqing immediately discovered the location of the other three generals defending the city.

At this moment, the three of them also sensed that something was wrong, and were about to reopen the formation.

It's a pity that Li Zhong, who was familiar with the method, was frozen outside the city by Huang Yunqing. In desperation, the three of them had no choice but to temporarily teach Li Zhong, who was holding the incomplete seal, the key to unlocking the formation.

Seeing this scene, Huang Yunqing couldn't help but sneered and rushed over there immediately.

……

Holding the incomplete seal that Li Zhong gave him, after being taught by the three people, he finally knew how to use the incomplete seal, and he said with great joy: "I learned it, let's restart the formation now! "

The other three were also overjoyed when they saw this, but the next moment, almost simultaneously, the four of them were instantly frozen into four ice sculptures by the bone-piercing chill.

Huang Yunqing appeared behind the four of them, and put away the four incomplete seals that the four of them had prepared one by one, and said in a calm tone: "Unfortunately, you are one step late!"

Just when she was considering whether to kill these four people directly, Li Zhong's voice suddenly sounded behind her again: "You are not the Queen Mother, who are you? What do you want to do?"

Huang Yunqing was slightly startled when she heard the words, and when she turned around, she found that Li Zhong, who should have been frozen outside the city by herself, had appeared not far behind her at some point, with an angry expression on her face staring at himself.

Seeing this scene, Huang Yunqing was slightly surprised and said: "Since you can escape so quickly, then I will give you a chance."

"What chance?" Li Zhong frowned, knowing that the situation was beyond his control.

Huang Yunqing glanced at the other three people, seeing that these three people really started to move around as if they were about to get out of trouble, so he simply waved his hand directly to lift the three people's ice.

The three people who were released from the frozen state immediately joined Li Zhong, who had rushed over, and the four of them looked at Huang Yunqing vigilantly, waiting for her next words.

Huang Yunqu didn't care about the meeting of the four of them, as long as the seal of the formation was in his hands, everything else didn't matter.

Even if these four people attack together, she is not afraid at all!

Putting away the incomplete seal in his hand, Huang Yunqing glanced at the city gate that had been closed again, but didn't care.

After all, without the protection of the formation, no matter how solid and tall the city gate is, it will be like walking on flat ground for immortal cultivators.

After staring at the four people for a while, Huang Yunqing calmly expressed his true intention: "As long as you are loyal to the Emperor from now on, you can still be the generals who defend the city, how about it?"

And when the four generals defending the city headed by Li Zhong heard the word "the Emperor" in these words, they all lost their voices collectively almost instantly.

After waking up, Li Zhong immediately asked: "What do you mean? Are you planning to become the emperor?"

After he spoke, the other three generals were also shocked, and they all started to criticize:

"How is this possible? Absolutely not. The position of Emperor is inherited from generation to generation. How can you be Emperor?"

"You are so courageous, aren't you afraid of the return of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Do you think that you can be the emperor if you have a higher level of cultivation? Tell you, don't wishful thinking! I firmly disagree, and I will not be loyal to you, a rebel!"

Huang Yunqing frowned. She didn't expect these four people to be so stubborn. It seemed that it was impossible for her to subdue these four people for her own use.

Seeing the four of them constantly blaming and opposing him, Huang Yunqing shook his head slightly and said, "If that's the case, then I can only ask you four to die!"

The four of them were shocked when they heard the words. Through the fight just now, they already knew that the woman in front of them had a very high level of cultivation, and the four of them were absolutely unable to fight against.

But even so, they still did not intend to surrender.

The four of them looked at each other. Faced with the imminent threat of death, they did not take a step back. Instead, they stepped forward at the same time and said firmly: "I swear to the death that I will not collude with your rebellion!" (End of this chapter)
