Li Yuhan was very quick-witted. She screamed a few times at the top of her lungs and said in a terrified voice, "Ahhh, Your Highness, what's wrong with you!"

Jin Zhenpeng's sudden collapse startled the maid beside him. She was already nervous in this situation, and now that the Crown Prince had drunk the wine she had served and something had happened, she couldn't clear her name. Her mind was blank, and the wine pot, cup, and tray in her hands fell to the ground, spilling the clear wine all over the floor.

The maid's face turned even paler, as white as a "specimen" preserved in formalin; perhaps she too would become a "specimen" soon.

"Quickly, seize that maid! Protect the Empress, protect the Crown Prince!"

Yuan Fei, who was in charge of the guard duty, quickly ordered his men to rush up. The entire stage suddenly became chaotic, crowded with soldiers in heavy armor and holding weapons.

The maid had no strength left to run away. She stood there, stunned, letting the guards take her away. Some of the guards led Li Yuhan back to the carriage.

The royal physicians and alchemists were summoned and, surrounded by guards in a small circle, began to treat Jin Zhenpeng.

The VIP seats below the stage were also in a state of chaos, with many people discussing among themselves. Naturally, quite a few of them wished for Jin Zhenpeng's quick death, especially the princes of the Jin Dynasty who had been persecuted.

If Jin Zhenpeng dies, they can win over the Nirvana Realm experts on Jin Zhenpeng's side, and then becoming the emperor of the Jin Dynasty will be a natural outcome.

The Lee Dynasty officials shared the same view on the situation as the princes of the Kim Dynasty: they all wanted Kim Jin-peng to get into trouble so that the Lee Dynasty could catch its breath and find an opportunity to break the deadlock.

The crowd gathered outside the square saw a sudden commotion inside. They wondered where the news had come from that the eldest prince had gotten into trouble. Many onlookers even spread rumors that it was Li Yuhan, that vixen, who had brought death upon the eldest prince.

"I knew it! This woman is so alluring, she must have killed the Crown Prince!" A burly middle-aged woman said with a look of utter disgust, as if she already knew everything.

Many married women stood up to support this woman, their emotions running high, and they spared no effort in criticizing Li Yuhan.

The audience outside the square were demonizing Li Yuhan, saying she was a demon who sucked men's life force, able to drain them dry with just a few words, and that the First Prince had been sucked dry and died. Others said Li Yuhan had naturally alluring eyes, and anyone who looked into her eyes would be controlled by her and become her slave.

The masses have rich imaginations, but they are also quick-witted and merciless with their words, even though Li Yuhan is just a stranger to them.

If Li Yuhan heard these gossips and rumors, she might pull Lin Ran aside and say, "The only person I can drain is this man. What is Jin Zhenpeng? Don't get involved with him!"

Within the small circle surrounding the stage, the Jin Dynasty's most outstanding alchemists came to Jin Zhenpeng's side to examine his physical condition.

At this moment, Jin Zhenpeng had his eyes closed and was laid flat on the ground. The alchemist held Jin Zhenpeng's wrist and probed his body with spiritual and soul power to check the situation. Yuan Fei stood aside, watching the old alchemist's expression change constantly. He couldn't help but ask, "Elder Wu, what's wrong with the First Prince?"

"The eldest prince... I don't know much about him either..."

The alchemist, known as Elder Wu, shook his head helplessly. The strange phenomenon within the eldest prince's body was causing his already gray hair to turn even whiter.

Just as Yuan Fei was about to have the eldest prince carried back to his residence, the eldest prince suddenly opened his eyes. However, the whites of his eyes were dark red, and his neck and face were covered with twisted, dark red lines that throbbed like veins.

"Ah, how did the First Prince become like this!"

Some of the guards were so frightened by the sight of the eldest prince that they took several steps back, because the eldest prince looked too much like someone possessed by a demon.

Yuan Fei was quite dutiful. Seeing the Crown Prince like this, he didn't leave out of fear, but instead squatted down and respectfully asked, "Crown Prince, are you alright?"

Jin Zhenpeng didn't speak at this moment. He sat up, moved his head, and seemed to be just getting used to this body. He looked at Yuan Fei.

At that moment, Yuan Fei felt as if he were being stared at by a black hole. A chill ran down his spine, and a sense of danger surged into his heart. He subconsciously raised the weapon in his hand in front of him, but he was still blasted away by the extremely fierce force, turning into a black cannonball that crashed directly into the VIP seats.

Things happened so fast that most people in the audience were stunned, but Li Yuhan, dressed in her wedding gown, reacted extremely quickly and ran straight out of the square.

A sharp scream shattered the silence, and the dignitaries in the VIP seats, their faces filled with terror, screamed and cried out as they fled the square.

The members of the Li Dynasty also hurriedly left with the crowd. Among them, Li Tianyi couldn't help but smile and said, "I wonder if Jin Zhenpeng has been possessed by some evil spirit. He even attacked his own subordinates. Now the wedding is going to be ruined!"

If anyone wanted Jin Zhenpeng to get into trouble the most, Emperor Li Tianyi would definitely be at the top of the list. He was the one who gave the order to attack the Jin Dynasty and the Yun Dynasty. They were about the same, but Jin Zhenpeng brought several Nirvana Realm experts with him. How could he not be angry?

"Don't get your hopes up yet. Whether we can even leave Mingcheng is still uncertain!" Hua Feng retorted from the side.

Li Tianyi's expression changed, and just as he was about to object, Old Li spoke up, saying, "Hua Feng is right. Our top priority is to leave Mingcheng. Look at Jinling's child, how clever he is! He's already taken advantage of the chaos and run away!"

Everyone then realized what was happening and looked towards the bride's carriage, but Li Yuhan was nowhere to be seen!

On the platform in the center of the square, the remaining guards, seeing their captain knocked away, were already trying to escape in terror, but they were still targeted by Jin Zhenpeng. Dark red demonic energy surged in Jin Zhenpeng's right hand, his palm curled into a claw, and his nails became sharp and pointed, like the sharp weapons of a falcon, fiercely grabbing at the few guards who were trying to escape.

The sharp claws formed from black demonic energy instantly pierced through the hard armor of several guards. Hot, crimson blood dripped onto the ground. The guards, still barely clinging to life, watched as they drew ever closer to Jin Zhenpeng, their faces contorted with terror.

Jin Zhenpeng suddenly opened his mouth, which was as big as a soccer goal, and swallowed all the guards whole, chewing them like candy.

This scene was witnessed by everyone who was still looking back in the square. If they survived, it might be a lifelong trauma.

Yuan Fei happened to witness this scene as well. He had just taken off his armor and looked at his wounds when he looked up and saw his guards being eaten by the First Prince.

This enraged Yuan Fei, who roared and unleashed the power of his Spirit Core Realm cultivation as he brandished his weapon to attack his former master.

But before Yuan Fei could get close to Jin Zhenpeng, a dark red mist appeared on the stage, from which a black-robed man materialized, forming a dark red demonic hand that easily grasped Yuan Fei in his palm.

The thousands of dark red demonic energies surging from that giant hand were like tentacles, seeping into Yuan Fei's body. The dark red demonic energy in Yuan Fei's bloodshot eyes almost burst out of his body.

Soon, Yuan Fei stopped struggling, and the black-robed man withdrew his dark red hand. Yuan Fei's body floated in the air on its own, his eyes turned dark red, and his exposed skin was covered with dark red patterns. "Yuan Fei" came to Jin Zhenpeng's side without saying a word.

Besides the black-robed man who made the move, eight or nine more black-robed figures appeared on the stage. They all possessed dark red demonic energy. One of them even knelt down before Jin Zhenpeng and respectfully said, "Welcome, sir!"

The other men in black robes also shouted in unison, "Welcome, sir!"

Jin Zhenpeng raised his hand in a gesture, then stretched his body. His body seemed to emit a sore, aching sound as if it were about to break.

"This body is really weak, but it doesn't matter!"

Jin Zhenpeng waved his hand, then instructed the black-robed men, "I will activate the formation later, and the entire city will be sealed off. Remember to drive all those insects here, especially the souls of those in the Nirvana Realm and the bloodline of the Heavenly Fox Clan. They must be brought here to me alive. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

These men in black robes seemed to obey Jin Zhenpeng's orders. One by one, they turned into dark red mist and disappeared from the spot. Even Yuan Fei followed them and flew towards Mingcheng.

In this chaotic square, he was now all alone. Jin Zhenpeng grinned.

His body had become extremely thin, and his dark red pupils shone brightly. His hands were forming intricate hand seals.

A dense surge of demonic energy erupted from the ground, coalescing before him and transforming into a nearly tangible pillar of light that shot skyward, forming a thin, dark red barrier in the high sky that isolated the entire Ming City from the outside world.

Sunlight could no longer penetrate the city, and even the spiritual energy in the air had been replaced by demonic energy.

The ground of the square was also shaking violently, and a high platform slowly rose in the center, the entire platform being made of black stone blocks.

Looking down from the high platform, one would see a huge, dark red, tumor-like mass inside. It seemed to be alive, pulsating powerfully, each pulsation sounding like a deep, resonant drumbeat.

The tumorous mass was able to float on the black stone platform thanks to the dark red blood vessels, and a dense demonic aura swirled around it.

After doing all this, "Jin Zhenpeng" looked at the stone platform in the center of the square, a hint of madness in his eyes. He seemed unable to suppress his inner joy and laughed wildly, "I, Andy, am coming back! Hahaha!"

……

48. The Three-Eyed God (4K)

Why has the sky gotten dark?

At the same time, many people in Mingcheng looked up at the sky. Sometime later, the sky was covered by a dark red barrier, making it difficult for light to penetrate. The spiritual energy in the air was being assimilated by the demonic energy, and even ordinary people could see the dark red demonic energy rising in the city.

Curious people even took a few deep breaths, only to have their faces turn black and faint on the spot. Their skin was covered with terrifying black and red lines, which horrified the onlookers. They all scrambled to cover their mouths and noses, hoping to inhale as little of this strange gas as possible.

Some people even ran towards the city gate, hoping to escape Mingcheng as soon as possible, but their plans were shattered by the cruel reality. Many people had already thought of leaving the city as soon as possible, including the Nirvana Realm experts from the Li Dynasty.

However, the group of them seemed powerless against the dark red barrier. Their combined attack could only cause a slight ripple in the barrier, and they were still far from breaking through it.

Li Tianyi, the weakest of the Nirvana Realm experts in the Li Dynasty, was already covered in sweat after unleashing his most powerful move. Looking at the dark red barrier in front of him, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

He looked at Old Li beside him and asked, "Old Li, should we continue the attack?"

Li Tianyi asked the same question that Hua Feng and the other two wanted to ask. They all looked at Elder Li, after all, as the strongest among them and a knowledgeable elder, his next judgment would be very valuable to consider.

But this time, Elder Li clearly disappointed Li Tianyi and the others. Elder Li shook his head and said helplessly, "I'm out of ideas too. The power of this barrier is too strange..."

This strange thing was beyond Li Lao's knowledge and imagination. He had lived for so long and even traveled all over the world, but this was the first time he had come into contact with such a bizarre thing.

"So, Elder Li, what should we do now?" Li Tianyi asked.

Old Li fell into deep thought, racking his brains to see if he could find a solution, but danger was just around the corner.

Hua Feng happened to notice several men in black robes rushing towards them menacingly without stopping. Clearly, their target was these "remnants" who were blocking the Jin Dynasty's unification of the Northwest.

"Everyone, we're in danger! Those strange guys have their eyes on us!" Hua Feng warned, pointing to the black-robed figures rushing towards them from afar.

Everyone looked toward the spot Hua Feng had pointed to, where several men in black robes, enveloped in billowing dark red mist, were flying menacingly toward them.

"This grand formation must have been set up by these evil sects. Is the Jin Dynasty not afraid of being criticized behind their backs?" Li Tianyi was quite angry.

“It seems that the Jin Dynasty has lost control of this evil sect. Only by joining forces can we have a chance of survival. What do you think, Elder Li?” Hua Feng said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Old Li nodded, took out his weapon, and prepared to fight, because he knew that what followed would be a fierce battle, and it would determine whether they could leave Mingcheng alive.

……

At the entrance of an alley near another city gate, Li Yuhan, who had changed out of her wedding dress and disguised herself, was looking at the crowded city gate. Looking at the dense crowd and listening to the noise, she was momentarily disoriented.

She had just escaped from the square, and as soon as she reached the city gate and was about to leave, a dark red barrier rose in the sky, enveloping the entire city of Ming. Many people tried various methods to break through the barrier, but all to no avail.

"Lin Ran, you should be able to break through this annoying barrier, right?" Li Yuhan placed her right hand on the pendant in front of her chest and communicated with Lin Ran.

"Of course it can be broken, I could even break it right now, and then you could escape with the flow of people, but that wouldn't solve the problem..." Lin Ran's voice echoed in Li Yuhan's mind.

Lin Ran's idea was to wipe out this group of Void Evil Clan members directly, so that there would be one less threat in the future. To be honest, these Void Evil Clan members with strong stealth capabilities are really disgusting. If this trouble is not resolved, what if they make a comeback in the future?

“I understand. How about I put on a show, pretend to get caught, and then you kill all those guys?” Li Yuhan said.

"Aren't you afraid that if I don't act in time, you'll be in danger?" Lin Ran retorted.

This behavior is tantamount to using Li Yuhan as bait; if any step goes wrong, it could be extremely dangerous.

In response to Lin Ran's question, Li Yuhan immediately replied, "Because I believe in your possessiveness towards me, and you won't allow me to be hurt in any way!"

These words left Lin Ran, who was in the Liusu Palace, speechless. Fan Hua, who was standing nearby, naturally heard them and said sourly, "Lin Ran, you really deserve to die! How come so many women are so devoted to you!"

Fan Hua even wondered if the Azure Emperor only chose successors who were not freeloaders and could not play games, right?

The black-robed man, who was already troubled about how to find Li Yuhan, did not expect that Li Yuhan would take the initiative to attack the south city gate and even expend a lot of spiritual power.

This excited the man in black robes. His dark red eyes beneath the robes brightened, and he charged forward amidst billowing dark red mist.

He effortlessly grabbed Li Yuhan with a large, dark red hand, and no matter how much Li Yuhan resisted, she could not escape the large hand formed by the dark red mist.

The man in black robes let out an unpleasant laugh and quickly led Li Yuhan toward the square, eager to curry favor with his "master" as soon as possible.

When Li Yuhan returned to the square, she was now at the mercy of others. Looking at the drastically changed square, she was almost terrified.

A huge platform made of black stone suddenly appeared in the square. Inside the platform was a lump of flesh, and next to the platform, ordinary people from Ming City were walking up the ladder in an endless stream.

When they reach the highest point, they will leap into the huge stone platform, which is dozens of feet high. After they are smashed into a pulp, hot blood will gush out continuously.

The crimson liquid inside the stone platform was already high enough to submerge half a person. People thrown in afterward would bubble up in the blood pool, as if these people were making the blood pool boil. With each body thrown in, the water level would rise slightly.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, Li Yuhan felt a little nauseous. She told Lin Ran about the scene, and Lin Ran immediately relayed it to Fan Hua, hoping that Fan Hua could help analyze some information.
