The Lord of Heaven asked

Chapter 284 Entering the Imperial City

On the city wall, children with dirty faces, ranging from eight or nine years old to fifteen or sixteen years old, with dishevelled hair and dirty faces, were all on guard, looking down.

Their faces were numb, and only a hint of curiosity was visible deep in their eyes as they stared at Ye Xiu and the others under the city wall.

It is conceivable that such a young child is already like this and is used to life and death fights. This place must have experienced a very brutal battle.

The young faces that should have been full of vitality were now replaced by numbness and vigilance, and the youngest child was a little nervous.

On the city wall, an old man waved his hand. He had one arm, and a broken arm could not regenerate. There were terrible laws corroding his flesh and blood, and there were dried black and red bloodstains on his tattered clothes. He signaled the children to step back.

"who are you?"

He opened his mouth, as if he had not spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse and his words were unclear. It seemed that there was only fighting, blood and ruthless fighting here.

Even Han Tang and Li Tianjue were moved. How many years had it been since they spoke? What had these people been through? Had they been defending or fighting?
This place looks like an abandoned place. People outside think that this city has dried up and become a dead city, but there are still a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people holding on!
What kind of will is this and what is supporting them?

"We are the cultivators from Diguan, and we are here to support you!" Li Tianjue looked up and said loudly.

"Emperor Guan..., you are not true immortals, how did you get here?"

The one-armed old man asked slowly and hoarsely.

Li Tianjue and Han Tang were shocked when they heard the words of the one-armed old man. Unless they were at the level of True Immortal, there was no way they could get close to here.

But he still said: "We came here by crossing the abyss!"

The one-armed old man asked, "Across the abyss, are there any true immortals among you?"

Han Tang and Li Tianjue turned around and looked at Ye Xiu.

The one-armed old man followed the two people's gaze and looked at Ye Xiu. He asked solemnly, "Are you... a true immortal from the Ninth Heaven?"

“Although they are not immortals yet, they are not far behind!” Ye Xiu paused, and then continued: “I am leading them to support us!”

After finishing speaking, Ye Xiu took out the dragon bone mirror and a branch of the Willow God, and said, "This is the dragon bone mirror of Taoist True Dragon and a branch of the ancestral spirit. It is enough to prove our identity!"

Seeing the dragon bone mirror and willow branch that Ye Xiu took out, the first ones to react were Han Tang and Li Tianjue.

Ye Xiu actually called Zhenlong a fellow Taoist? He also knew the ancestor spirit. What kind of identity was he?

"who are you?"

The one-armed old man continued to ask in a hoarse voice, but unlike before, he was looking at Ye Xiu carefully.

At the same time, the children on the city wall were also looking at Ye Xiu and others.

"I am Yuanshi!"

Ye Xiu did not reveal his real name, but instead revealed his Taoist name. Judging from the attitudes of the ancestral spirits and the true dragons, he believed that someone in the Original Imperial City should know him.

As expected, the one-armed man looked at Ye Xiu carefully, examining him carefully, and then turned back to look into the depths of the Imperial City, as if confirming something.

"Are you the Nirvana body of Yuanshi Immortal King?"

The one-armed old man spoke in confusion, as if someone in the depths of the Primitive Imperial City was sending him a message.

At this time, Li Tianjue and Han Tang were stunned. They would never have thought that Ye Xiu might be the nirvana body of an immortal king.

“Yes and no?” Ye Xiu spoke. Although he had a great relationship with the Yuanshi Immortal King of the Ancient Immortal Realm, he was not the other party’s Nirvana body.

"Please open the city. I have brought reinforcements to help you!" Ye Xiu took out the Pangu Banner. Fairy light was shining brightly and human figures could be seen inside the Pangu Banner.

"Pangu Banner!" The one-armed old man muttered to himself after seeing the Pangu Banner, but he still did not let down his guard.

"Please let us in!" Han Tang and Li Tianjue also stepped forward, took out an ancient seal and activated it, bursting with infinite light. Symbols appeared one after another on it, which was part of the ancient covenant, carrying the imprints of various races. "The imprint of all races!" The turbid eyes of the one-armed old man began to glow. The imprint of all races was the most ancient contract formed when the various races in the Imperial Pass signed the covenant, and it could not be faked.

"Please stand on that bluestone!"

On the city wall, the old man pointed out that there was a piece of bluestone under the wall, three feet square, very simple and ancient, with nothing special about it.

Hearing this, Han Tang and Han Tang looked at each other, and then at Ye Xiu's signal, Han Tang stepped forward without hesitation.

call out!
The bluestone glowed instantly, and a ball of fire enveloped Han Tang, sweeping through his tendons, limbs, and bones, even his soul.

Li Tianjue exclaimed and almost took action, but he resisted the urge.

"It's not an impersonating powerful alien creature!" The old man nodded, and many people on the city wall, including children, breathed a sigh of relief.

This stone can test whether it is a real Nine Heavens creature!
"Please look up again!" the old man said cautiously.

There was a bone mirror hanging on the city gate tower. It was very warm and smooth. At this moment, a ray of light shot out, going straight into Han Tang’s sea of ​​consciousness and sinking into his soul.

During this process, Han Tang did not resist and waited quietly.

"They are creatures from my world, they are not lying!" The old man was excited, and several other people on the city wall also showed joy, and the children cheered in a low voice.

Then Li Tianjue also stepped forward to be tested. After confirming his identity, Ye Xiu brought them to the city gate. With a flicker of light, the three of them entered the Imperial City.

During this process, the city seemed to have a huge soul body, which checked it and confirmed that there was nothing inside before they manifested in the city.

The ancient city was very quiet and empty. Several old men came over with their ragged children, all looking at Ye Xiu and the others.

Of course, there are other people in the city, but compared to the entire majestic city, they are insignificant and there are too few people.

Having suffered from the baptism of war, the once glorious ancient city is now almost in ruins, with dried bloodstains on the ground, and the streets and buildings are extremely dilapidated.

Walking forward, they saw some women and children, and some even younger children. Their dirty little faces were all very nervous, and they were all looking at Ye Xiu and the other two.

There was no laughter or joy, the city was very dull and depressing!
"How are our people doing? Are they thriving and spreading?" the old man asked.

Han Tanghe's face turned a little stiff. He wanted to hide it with a smile, but found that he couldn't do it. Should he tell them that although their clan was not exterminated, they were suppressed and became the descendants of sinners? It was only a few days ago when Ye Xiujun came to the imperial court that everything changed.

"What's wrong?" the old man asked quickly.

Han Tang was silent for a moment, and finally said frankly, to be honest, this kind of thing cannot be concealed!
"What!" The old man was furious, his expression changed, but he had already stood up, but finally sat down again with a sigh.

"The Human King among the Seven Kings, that is, the Stone King and others, has beheaded some important figures in the Nine Heavens. He must have been misunderstood because of this." said the old man.

"What, why?" Han Tang and Li Tianjue were shocked. They didn't expect that they had just met the old man and were suddenly involved in secrets of this level.

Although Ye Xiu forcefully defended the Shi clan in Diguan, saying that they were framed, many people still believed that he was standing up for Diguan.

As for the crimes of Shi Zu and others, they have been passed down in Diguan to this day, and all ethnic groups agree that they are definitely not groundless.

It’s just that Ye Xiu is now very powerful. He defeated the invincible one in the Emperor’s Pass, suppressed the demon Longmen and others, and planted a curse on them, making them dare not discuss easily.

Now hearing the words of the one-armed old man, it is undoubtedly that a corner of the truth has been revealed.

"Corrupted by ominousness, those people are about to become treacherous. I request Stone King and others to take action, cut off their heads immediately and kill their souls." The one-armed old man sighed.

“Back then, there were people who knew about these things and they should not have been slandered. There are true immortals still alive in the Ninth Heaven. Didn’t those two or three people stand up?” The one-armed old man stood up with a solemn expression.

Han Tang and Li Tianjue remained silent. They only knew that it was the sects of the True Immortals who framed the Stone Clan and convicted them of crimes.

After a moment's silence, Han Tang told the one-armed old man what had happened recently in Diguan.
