The sticky darkness silently enveloped Yuansheng City, and an ominous aura permeated the air.
Many original giants in the city are guarding various places in the city, emitting bright divine light and silently resisting the infiltration of darkness.
Although King Yuan predicted that the evil demons were about to invade, he was unable to confirm the exact time. These giants were not just guarding all night for this possible attack, but they had been silently guarding the city under the cover of night every night in the past years.
Anle and Xuan Gongming were placed in a side hall not far from Yuanwang Palace.
Thinking back to the possibility that King Yuan had mentioned earlier, Anle couldn't calm down for a long time. He could tell from King Yuan's words that the other party had already planned to die to prove his integrity.
King Yuan actually wanted to use his crippled body to take the first step in communicating with the "evil demon", even though the price might very well be his life.
"However, the deep blood feud between the Great Zhou and darkness cannot be eliminated by one person or even one generation."
Anle gazed at the night outside the palace and thought to himself.
Before the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the fight between the "evil demons" and the original giants had been going on for many years. Countless original people died in the darkness. Similarly, the giants' hands were stained with the blood of countless "evil demons".
Even if it is true as Anle and Yuan Wang guessed, that the "evil demon" is also an intelligent creature with its own civilization, when the two sides really start communicating, I am afraid they will never be so calm, but will turn into a more terrible war.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
Even the original giants and their descendants are suspicious of each other, let alone another strange civilization that has been fighting for years?
King Yuan's idea might be destined not to be understood by others, but Anle still couldn't help but respect him.
Seeing the number of deductions on the panel refreshed, Anle temporarily suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and opened the panel.
【Begin deduction! 】
[The Yuan King died, and Yuansheng City was submerged in darkness. 】
【you are dead. 】
In just a moment, Anle opened his eyes and his face changed suddenly.
The process of this deduction is so brief that it can be described in just two sentences.
Since joining Taixu Palace, Anle hasn't encountered a situation where he couldn't survive the first day of a simulation for a long time, and this is enough to show how dangerous the current situation is.
Anle took a step forward without hesitation and stepped into the void.
The next second, he appeared in the Source King Palace.
In the deduction, King Yuan died before the darkness invaded!
It was his death that caused the Yuansheng City army to fall into chaos, and they were unable to organize an effective resistance against the evil demons in the darkness.
Therefore, saving King Yuan is the top priority!
But Anle really couldn't imagine who in Yuanwang City could kill this ancient and powerful prince.
While his mind was in turmoil, Anle had already passed through the main hall of Yuanwang Palace, his spiritual awareness sweeping everywhere.
His powerful aura immediately attracted the attention of many giants nearby, and soon someone shouted loudly: "Wuxu, why did you break into the Yuanwang Palace at night?"
Having said that, he was about to stop Anle.
Anle was full of vigor and his eyes were as sharp as swords. He asked, "Where is King Yuan?"
"Someone is trying to murder King Yuan!"
Hearing this, the giant who was blocking An Le sneered and said, "There must be a limit to your hysteria!"
"This is Yuansheng City, how could anyone dare to attack King Yuan? In my opinion, you are the one who wants to murder King Yuan!"
There was obvious hostility in the tone of this original giant.
Although King Yuan knew nothing about the previous assassination, there were many giants in Yuansheng City who knew about it, and some of their companions and friends participated in this operation.
And now, Anle arrived safely in Yuansheng City, but the assassins were nowhere to be seen. The outcome was self-evident, and it was not difficult to understand the attitude of these original giants towards Anle.
But at the moment, Anle has no time to understand their feelings.
Seeing the giant blocking his way, Anle's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Get out of the way!"
The giant sneered in response: "Oh, Wuxu, I respect you as a talent and have made great contributions to our Great Zhou, but don't really think you are..."
boom!
There was a loud bang, and no one present could see clearly how Anle made his move. A giant as big as a mountain flew backwards and smashed into the wall of Yuanwang Palace with such great force that even the whole palace was shaking slightly.
"Don't make me repeat my words a second time."
Anle looked around and saw dark golden lines appearing on his body. Even though he hadn't transformed yet, he still exuded the aura of a king, and was awe-inspiring.
"I want to see King Yuan!"
Seeing this scene, the original giant who came from nearby was frightened and even felt insignificant in front of this petite figure.
"Cough cough!"
The giant who was smashed against the wall coughed up blood and said angrily: "You really have evil intentions!"
"Everyone, let's capture this beast together. We must not let him meet King Yuan!"
This giant seemed to have a high reputation among the crowd. After his shout, although the other giants were a little hesitant, they all attacked Anle.
Some giants used magic, some giants fought with their physical bodies, and several forbidden runes fell on Anle, trying to seal him.
Anle mobilized his magic power, stretched out his hand and clenched it hard, and the forbidden rune collapsed instantly, causing the caster to spit blood and his face turned pale.
boom! boom! boom!
Anle's tiny body burst out with a power that frightened the giants around him. When he swung his fists and feet, the air vibrated and emitted a ghostly scream.
All the original giants that were close were blown away by this strange force.
As for the spells cast by the giants, they were crushed by the powerful magic power before they got close to Anle. That was the powerful field brought about by the virtual shadows of the Heavenly Palace and the Holy Gate after the eight great divine treasures were opened together.
"So strong! He can do it by himself..."
"This is the strength of Fellow Daoist Wuxu."
At this point, the giants remembered that the prerequisite for Anle to hold the Xuantian Forum was actually that he had defeated the entire Tai Academy!
Suddenly, a powerful shout came from the crowd: "Stop it!"
Yuan Zhuo, who was much shorter than the other giants, walked out. He looked a little immature, but in this situation, he was very calm and had a dignified temperament, which made the surrounding original giants calm down unconsciously.
Yuan Zhuoxian glared at the giant who had blocked his way in the first place and said, "Yan Cang, Senior Wuxu is an honored guest of my father. What do you want by provoking him again and again?"
Facing his gaze, Yan Cang's momentum unconsciously weakened a little. He lowered his head and said nothing.
After all, Yuan Zhuo is the legitimate prince of Yuansheng City, and no matter how reckless Yan Cang is, he will never go against him.
Then, Yuan Zhuo turned to look at Anle and said sincerely: "Senior Wuxu, they are so nervous because you broke into this hall late at night. Please don't be offended."
"I just don't know... what exactly does Senior Wuxu want to talk to my father about?"
With just a few words, Yuan Zhuo stabilized the situation and prevented a possible war from breaking out.
This character is very extraordinary. Although Yuan Zhuo looks young, he is a reliable person at critical moments.
Anle secretly admired him, but at the same time, he felt a little heavy-hearted. He had made such a big fuss, but King Yuan still did not show up. This made the ominous premonition in his heart even stronger.
"No time to explain."
Anle asked Yuan Zhuo directly: "Where is King Yuan?"
Yuan Zhuo was stunned for a moment, but still said: "Father should be observing the star map..."
Before he finished speaking, Anle took a step forward and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing Anle's anxious attitude, Yuan Zhuo's expression changed several times. He thought of the worst possibility and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the Zhoutian Star Map.
******
After Anle took this step, he arrived under the Zhoutian star map.
The starlight cast from the dome is still dazzling, the starry sky flows quietly, peaceful and beautiful, and all the mysteries of the universe seem to be hidden in it.
As it was already late at night, the night sky was particularly dark and deep, which made the stars look even brighter.
Seeing the majestic figure covered in starlight, Anle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But soon, his expression changed slightly and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
"Daoyou Wuxu."
The source king spoke slowly, with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry I can't stand up to greet you. Just maintaining this posture has exhausted all my strength."
Anle's gaze fell on the center of King Yuan's eyebrows, where there was an imperceptible thin line with some starlight shining through it.
Anle took out the elixir from the storage bag and said in a hoarse voice: "King Yuan, I have an elixir here, maybe it can stabilize your soul."
King Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't bother. I know my situation best. My soul is about to collapse, but I still have a few words to say to you, so I am barely holding on for a little longer."
His attitude was calm and open-minded, and he didn't look like a man who was about to die at all.
At this time, Yuan Zhuo broke in from outside and ordered the other original giants not to enter.
Seeing the expressions of Anle and King Yuan, Yuan Zhuo understood everything instantly. He was so sad that he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Father..."
"do not Cry."
King Yuan looked deeply at Yuan Zhuo and said earnestly: "From now on, you are the new King Yuan."
"As a king, you must learn to bear and take on responsibilities. You must remember that you are a human first, and then a king."
He turned to look at Anle again: "Fellow Daoist Wuxu, my son is stupid, please take care of him."
Anle nodded heavily and asked again: "King Yuan, who killed you?"
King Yuan looked gloomy and said, "The one who killed me was King Zhao!"
An Le's heart trembled: "King Zhao, it's him?"
Lian Anle didn't expect that King Zhao would come to Yuansheng City late at night and kill King Yuan!
But upon closer thought, only King Zhao, who has the same king-level strength and will not be on guard against King Yuan, could have done this silently.
Yuan Zhuo's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "How could Uncle Zhao do such a thing?"
Prince Yuan sighed, "To be precise, he is no longer the Prince Zhao we know. All I feel from him is a sense of strangeness."
Anle looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Prince Yuan had already reached the last moment of his life, so naturally he would not hide anything anymore and said directly: "I suspect that the real Prince Zhao has already died. He is now just an empty shell wearing Prince Zhao's cloak."
Anle felt a chill in his heart: "Even King Zhao..."
King Yuan looked up at the starry sky, but his eyes seemed to see farther: "I still smell the breath of the gods on King Zhao."
Yuan Zhuo's expression suddenly changed: "God!?"
"Yes, it is the gods."
There was sarcasm in the Source King's smile: "However, thanks to them, I can finally confirm that my guess is correct!"
He stared at Anle with burning eyes, as if he was pinning some heavy expectations on her.
"The gods are afraid!"
"They are afraid that my discovery will be made public, and they are afraid that I will really make such an attempt, so they will destroy me before that happens."
Yuan Zhuo was completely confused as King Yuan had not had the time to tell him the secrets of darkness and evil.
Anle was shocked. He realized that the gods might indeed be afraid of King Yuan's discovery. Otherwise, why would they send their minions to kill King Yuan on the very night he revealed the secret?
But why does the truth about darkness make even the gods fear it?
Anle couldn't figure out the reason behind this for the time being.
At this time, King Yuan sighed: "The time is almost up."
Anle looked a little sad as he quietly looked at this respectable old man.
Yuan Zhuo looked sad, but he tried hard not to cry.
"After my death, darkness will surely come to this city."
King Yuan looked into the distance, as if it was falling on the city he had protected all his life: "Zhuo'er, Fellow Daoist Wuxu, the people of Yuansheng City are in your care."
"The future of the Great Zhou is in your hands."
"Finally, let me lend you a helping hand."
