Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1188 Xuantian Palace (44)

at the same time.

Beneath the sky, on the other side.

The Prince of De, who had also survived, gazed at the sudden burst of dark blue light and crimson sword light atop the capital city, accompanied by three ethereal, illusory soul figures. He remained stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply: "So be it, so be it. I was far too naive. For such a heavenly battle to erupt like this, An Jing's ten-second decision to leave was already the greatest mercy, the most lenient of all."

Even so... I still have some questions.

Filled with doubt, he turned around to look at the three illusory souls behind him: [Was Anjing's Seven Fiends Tribulation too ferocious? Why didn't he hold back, even killing you all?]

The three souls behind the Prince of De were none other than Cang Linzu, Gu Yunzhi, and Xing Mofeng.

The battle between An Jing and Yin Gujin, the clash between creation and destruction, evaporated the entire capital. The God-Slaying Platform had long since disappeared. Gu Yunzhi was naturally annihilated by the aftershocks. As for Cang Linzu, who was left in the Heavenly Prison and Xing Mofeng, who didn't want to live but only wanted to watch the earth-shattering battle between the strong, he also didn't survive and was killed directly.

From this perspective, An Jing truly treated everyone equally, without any hidden favoritism. Anyone who didn't choose to leave, including his own companion Cang Linzu and his acquaintance Xing Mofeng, with whom he had fought before, had to die. In this respect, he was truly beyond reproach.

As for Gu Yunzhi... to be honest, even Prince De didn't think An Jing would come to his execution. This old man gambled on his own, so he deserved everything and should suffer the consequences even in death!

Gu Yunzhi shrugged in response: "I think dying at An Jing's hands is better than being punished by the Ming Xing Zheng Dian. It saves face for the laws of Da Chen. But I'm not trying to mock you, Your Highness... Haven't you noticed that the person An Jing really didn't intend to kill is actually you?"

【Me?】King De was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Although he was also a Heavenly Lord and the Emperor Blood Town King, it was only natural that he would be killed by the aftershocks in the face of that level of battle.

So he became confused: "Right, why didn't An Jing kill me?"

"Of course it's useful."

Cang Linzu laughed at this. He raised his head and looked at the blood-red sword light that could now fight against the highest point of Da Chen. His eyes were full of admiration and expectation. When he lowered his head and looked at Prince De, Cang Linzu said in a relaxed tone, "Just like me, Your Majesty Prince De, I was going to die anyway. This is also part of the plan."

Gu Yunzhi and Xing Mofeng, who were also completely confused about the reason for their existence, turned their heads in bewilderment: "What plan?"

Canglinzu smiled and pointed to the ground: "Gentlemen, think about it carefully... If we don't die, how will we get to the Underworld, to the Netherworld Capital?"

"But without His Highness Prince De's imperial bloodline authority, how can we penetrate deep into the core? And without General Xing's celestial official authority, how can we enter some areas that are restricted by imperial bloodline?"

"The eldest brother had anticipated everything, including Grand Tutor Hong's current resistance and refusal."

As he said this, a blood-red light also flickered in Cang Linzu's eyes. He looked up at the sky again and said confidently, "Grand Tutor Hong holds the highest level of authority in the entire Great Chen Dynasty. Xuan Mingyu is difficult to control even if he is not Ling Xiao. To deal with him in a short time, or rather, to avoid being dealt with by him, is a difficult task that Senior Brother needs to take seriously and fight with all his might."

"But in the final analysis, all of Grand Tutor Hong's power comes from the Great Chen Dynasty, from the Imperial Court... and from within the Xuan Tian Palace. If someone can simultaneously infiltrate Youdu and the Xuan Tian Palace and do something, Grand Tutor Hong's power will not only be reduced to eight or nine tenths, but will also inevitably reveal a flaw."

Upon hearing this, everyone present, with their intelligence, naturally understood quickly. However, Gu Yunzhi was somewhat puzzled: "That makes sense. My good granddaughter, with the Southern Dipper's blessing, used the authority of the Second Imperial Dynasty to suppress the First Imperial Dynasty. This is already a good start. If we really go deep into Youdu, with the authority of the Prince of De, we might be able to interfere with Grand Tutor Hong in a short period of time."

“But what about Xuantian Palace… we can’t get there, can we? Xuantian Palace is completely closed now, and I’m afraid even Prince De can’t get in.”

That's indeed the case.

Prince De nodded slightly: "The Xuan Tian Palace houses all the imperial bloodlines within the Imperial Court. Their authority is very high, and they will undoubtedly support Grand Tutor Hong's victory over An Jing. As for me, a regional prince who previously spoke well of you and is on good terms with An Jing, I will certainly be refused entry." "So, who can enter?"

"Could it be that……"

Xing Mofeng immediately thought of that name, but still hesitated: "Is it Princess Mingjing? But Princess Mingjing should be assisting An Jing in controlling the power, right? And without Princess Mingjing, even if he defeats Grand Tutor Hong, he won't be able to accept the authority and control Xuantian Palace..."

But when this was mentioned, Xing Mofeng, who had lived in Shenjing and personally experienced the chaos in Shenjing before Anjing's arrival, subconsciously thought of another aura.

That icy aura... also possessed a similar, even identical, will to An Jing.

"It's not that You Ruhui is the only one; she'll definitely be assisting Senior Brother and fighting alongside him."

Cang Linzu answered Xing Mofeng, who seemed to be deep in thought. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Xuantian Palace, his tone somewhat complicated: "Going to Xuantian Palace means destruction and killing. Those imperial bloodlines are all You Ruhui's brothers and sisters, blood relatives. Although Senior Brother is decisive, I don't think You Ruhui has any feelings for them. But even if there was some past intimacy, Senior Brother An wouldn't have let You Ruhui do these things."

"The only ones who would actually do it, the only ones capable of doing it, are former calamities like myself..."

"She's the only one left."

At this moment.

Xuantian Palace, the main hall entrance is tightly closed.

A young girl, surrounded by a seven-star blood-red light and protected by a great formation due to her proximity to the Xuantian Palace, was unaffected by the Lingxiao Battle. She stood quietly before the magnificent palace gate, adorned with reliefs of countless human beings and celestial stars.

【Qinghan, I have bestowed a portion of my power upon you. Now, do as you please.】

【White Goddess... can no longer tolerate my kin living in the New World. I beg you to lend me a hand and send them all to where my father is.】

"Ah."

Sensing a scorching, immense, and profound power empowering him, Bai Qinghan responded softly.

At the same time, a large star of profound yin shone behind her, rotating in all directions and evolving the five elements of yin. The power from the will of heaven was also slowly being released.

All destinies converge, and all wills propel her forward.

This might have been something that happened decades or even a hundred years from now, but it is now.

So, without further hesitation, the girl raised her hand.

She opened the door.

They entered the Xuantian Palace.
