I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

After everyone toasted, they took action according to the pre-rehearsal.

The anticipation of success causes their adrenaline to surge, making them extremely excited.

Just like a gambler who is betting his entire fortune, at the moment of rolling the dice, the blood in his body begins to boil and he is in a state of extreme excitement.

Watching everyone filing out, the retired emperor tried hard to suppress his excitement and walked around in the Changyu Palace.

Just imagining a successful coup and holding great power is enough to make one's heart beat fast and unable to control oneself.

Since the United States has no objection, and there are still many monarchies on Blue Planet, the royal family has a certain popular support in the island countries, so the difficulty of restoring the royal family is not very high.

As for the consequences of failure, they are not serious.

For historical reasons, the island nation was granted permission by the blue star overlord, the United States, to retain its monarchy.

Although the retired emperor has no real power and is only a figurehead of the island nation, he is the head of state as stipulated by the constitution, and there are still a large number of feudal remnants remaining in the country.

Even if the coup failed, those politicians would not dare to overthrow the monarchy.

At worst, the former emperor would abdicate and let his son ascend the throne, and then take the blame for his subordinates, saying that they had bewitched the monarch and held the former emperor hostage in a coup.

With a scapegoat, I don't think the politicians will get to the bottom of the matter.

When the time comes, the royal family will bow and apologize, and everything on the island will remain the same.

Precisely because the cost of a failed coup was so small, and it coincided with the revival of spiritual energy, the royal family dared to think about restoration.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Chapter 215 Regicide

After everyone left, the retired emperor was the only one left in Changyu Palace.

He took a sip of tea to calm the waves in his heart and looked out into the night.

The moon is bright tonight and the stars are sparse. The slightly hot night breeze blows in through the gauze window, bringing with it a cool fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The silver moon was bright, casting a clear light, making the entire palace hazy and quiet.

But he knew that this peace was only temporary.

Their actions will inevitably cause shock to the island nation. The current calm is only the last peace before the storm comes.

The sound of "tapping" footsteps broke the silence, and a big Tengu dressed in ancient aristocratic clothes walked in.

Under the Tengu mask, his eyes moved slightly and he glanced at the Zhenjing Jingjing in the emperor's hand and the eight-foot-long jade hanging around his waist.

Two of the three sacred treasures passed down from generation to generation by the island nation's royal family are in the possession of the former emperor.

Only the sword of Ame-no-Murasakumo was placed in a special barrier by the royal family for safekeeping because it released too much murderous aura and was ominous and harmful to its owner.

"Uncle, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay where you are?"

The emperor stroked the Zhenjing Jingjing in his hand, sitting upright on the dragon throne with a calm expression.

Daitengu explained, "With Tamamonomae in charge, there is no need to worry about any mistakes. I came here to report to your majesty that I have found the reason why Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly escaped from the control of the True Classic Tsukijyo."

"Oh, what's the reason?" The emperor looked concerned.

In fact, he was not as indifferent to the matter as he had just claimed, but tonight's action was too important to tolerate any distraction or delay.

In fact, he was very concerned about the reason why Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly got rid of control. That involved the Shinjingjing Mirror, one of the three sacred artifacts passed down from generation to generation in the royal family of the island country.

Everything related to the three sacred artifacts is a top priority for the island nation's royal family, because it is the foundation of their thousand-year inheritance and their survival.

Da Tengu said seriously: "I suspect that it was the Kamo family who tampered with the Zhenjingjinjing when they were in charge of it."

"Well, that is indeed a possibility." The emperor nodded slowly.

Considering that the Zhenjingjingjing had been kept in the Kamo family for hundreds of years, they are indeed the biggest suspects.

However, all the members of the Kamo family were wiped out in the battle with Hayashi Hezhen. Even if they had tampered with the Zhenjing Jinjing, it would be difficult for the royal family to discover it for a while.

The emperor frowned and said, "This matter will not affect our actions tonight, right?"

Da Tengu smiled softly: "Of course not, in fact, I have found a way to crack it."

"So fast?" the emperor asked in surprise.

Da Tengu nodded and said, "Of course, after all, I was once the emperor, and my understanding of the Zhenjing Jingjing is far better than those Yin-Yang masters."

The Emperor laughed loudly, "That's right. My great uncle has lived for nearly a thousand years, and he is knowledgeable and experienced. He has also been an undercover agent in the Kamo family for hundreds of years. If anyone is an expert in studying the True Scriptures and Mirrors, it must be my great uncle."

Daitengu lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I will point out the actions of the Kamo family to Your Majesty right away, so that Your Majesty can completely control the True Scripture Mirror and have more confidence in tonight's operation."

"Okay, I'll trouble you, uncle."

The emperor did not suspect anything and handed over the Zhenjing Jinjing.

When Daitengu picked up the cold bronze mirror and felt the familiar yet unfamiliar pattern, his eyebrows trembled slightly.

In a trance, he seemed to go back a thousand years ago, to the day when he took over the Three Sacred Treasures from his great-grandfather, Emperor Shirakawa.

At that time, he was still a 5-year-old child and did not understand the meaning of the three sacred artifacts.

By the time he grew up and finally developed a sense of power, his great-grandfather, who could protect him, had already passed away.

Afterwards, his father Emperor Toba and his favorite concubine Fujiwara no Tokuko forced him to abdicate and pass the throne to their son Emperor Konoe.

Moreover, Chongde's abdication edict stated "abdicate to the Crown Prince." In this way, Chongde lost the qualification to exercise regency and control real power as the father of the previous emperor.

When Emperor Konoe died, Sutoku's son was deprived of his inheritance rights, and the throne was inherited by his half-brother Masahito.

After Emperor Toba died, Fujiwara no Tokuko and others were afraid that Sutoku would rebel, so they conspired to get rid of him.

Sutoku had to launch a mutiny under absolute disadvantage, because the samurai groups such as the Taira clan and the Minamoto clan sided with Fujiwara no Tokushi, and Sutoku was defeated and exiled.

After that, he lived a miserable life in exile in Sanuki, under strict surveillance and detention.

Due to his unfortunate life, Chongde became full of resentment and turned into a monster, living from the Heian period to the present day.

Now, the Zhenjingjinjing, one of the three sacred artifacts, has fallen into his hands again. It must be said that fate is so wonderful.

Da Tiangou calmed himself down and activated the Zhenjing Jinjing Mirror, causing ripples on the mirror surface.

"Your Majesty, please look. The ban imposed by the Kamo family is here." He pointed to a certain edge of the bronze mirror.

The emperor quickly leaned over to take a look.

The rippling waves gradually calmed down, and the bronze mirror reflected his thin face and a hideous and bloody mouth behind him.

"you!"

The emperor turned his head and saw that the Great Tengu had revealed its true form. It was a ferocious beast that filled the entire palace, looked like a wolf, and had black wings on its ribs.

Its entire body seemed to be made of steel, its surface was covered with black scales, its claws were as sharp as knives, its tail had a barb on the tip, its black hair stood up like steel needles, and it exuded a strong murderous aura from head to toe.

"You have already cultivated the golden elixir?" The emperor blurted out as he felt the suffocating pressure.

"Hmph, I have been lying in wait for hundreds of years, and finally got the chance to take revenge!" Da Tengu's eyes were filled with hatred.

"How dare you, a monster, kill the king?!"

Even though the emperor unleashed all his spiritual power, he was still suppressed tightly. He couldn't escape at all. He could only watch the big mouth bite towards him.

The emperor could only pin his hope on the self-defense artifact Yasakani no Magatama. He tried his best to activate Yasakani no Magatama to deploy a protective shield.

However, a green light suddenly shot out from the mouth of the Great Tengu, containing the power to destroy the world, and covered the eight-foot Qiongqu Jade, making this artifact unable to open the protective magic circle for a while.

"No!" The emperor cried out in despair.

"Crack!"

The great Tengu bit off the emperor's neck with one bite and swallowed it into his stomach with a "gulp".

Before the headless corpse could even fall to the ground, the great Tengu picked it up whole and swallowed it in one gulp.

The Zhenjingjin Mirror lay quietly on the ground, reflecting yet another royal tragedy.

Life is always so easy to be cut short. The higher the position, the easier it is to be killed by enemies around you. This situation has been going on for thousands of years and has never stopped.

No matter when, as long as you stand at the top of the world, you will never lack enemies.

Those histories will be forgotten by people as time goes by, but hatred will always remain in resentment until it erupts at some point.

Yes, just like Daitengu.

At this time, the great Tengu was greedily licking the blood on the ground, not letting go of even a single drop. It seemed that only in this way could he vent the hatred in his heart.

Afterwards, he changed into the appearance of the former emperor, picked up the Zhenjing Jingjing on the ground, and sat upright on the dragon throne.

"It's been almost a thousand years. I finally killed Yaren's descendants and regained the throne!"

A sickly flush appeared on his face. The pleasure of revenge was like an addictive poison that made him unable to stop.

The Great Tengu opened his mouth and spat out a straight sword with an ancient shape and exuding a sharp murderous intent. It was the sword of Ama-no-Murasakumo that was supposed to be placed in a special barrier and kept strictly safe.

Together with the Yasakani no Magatama found on the former emperor, all three sacred treasures of the island country fell into the hands of Da Tengu.

"It seems that you have finished your work here." The graceful and charming Tamamonomae walked into the hall.

Da Tengu smiled and said, "I would like to thank you for helping to isolate the inside and outside, and not allowing outsiders to enter and leave the Changyu Palace, so that we can kill this thief quietly."

Tamamonomae said calmly, "I have an old grudge against the royal family. Your father abandoned me and sent Abe Yasuhiko to seriously injure me. He also sent more than 100,000 troops to attack the settlement of my clan. It was really hateful. Now you and I have joined forces to kill his descendants and bring chaos to his country. This can be regarded as revenge."

The Great Tengu sneered, "Hahaha, that's right, I transformed myself into a demon out of resentment, and all I want is revenge."

"If I had been given the power of the emperor, I would have worked hard to be a good emperor and benefit the people. Now, I am already a monster and have nothing to do with the human island nation."

"In that case, why not just do as you please. Tamamonomae, do you want to see the grand spectacle of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons during the Heian Period?"

Tamamonomae's beautiful eyes looked around, and when they turned slightly, they seemed to be full of charm that could captivate the soul. She smiled gently: "I dream about it."

"In that case, let's enjoy the grand fireworks display. This is a rare spectacle!"

After Daitengu finished speaking, he threw the three sacred weapons into the air and chanted a spell.

As his chanting sounded, the three objects suddenly emitted a dazzling light, reflecting each other in mid-air, and gradually condensed together to form a golden magic circle.

Dense, complex and obscure symbols are circulating around the magic circle, floating quietly in the air, releasing extremely rich spiritual energy.

Circles of light spread out like waves until they covered Dongdu Bay.

"What is that?" Countless people looked up and looked at the wonder in the sky, wondering and confused.

The great Tengu laughed wildly.

“Hahaha, all you evil spirits wandering around in this world, revel in your heart’s content! Oh, ignorant humans, open your eyes and take a look at this real world!”

That night, the boundary between the human world and the underworld was broken.

Even if ordinary people do not have the ability to see ghosts, they can still see all the evil ghosts wandering the streets.

"Ah, what is this?"

"Why is there something like this wrapped around my body?"

"Help! There's a monster!"

Countless humans were surprised to find that there were so many hideous and terrifying ghosts living around them.

The evil ghosts also discovered that all humans could see them.

"Yes, they can see it!"

The demons and monsters cheered loudly, pounced on the nearest humans around them, and attacked them frantically.

A bloody hunt begins.

Chapter 216 Chaos

The hideous and ugly evil spirit pounced on the people around.

These ordinary people don't have the ability of Yotsuya Miko to remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe, so they can't pretend to ignore it.

They were soon frightened and screamed, and some even fainted.

Even so, the evil spirits kept approaching, hunting and biting them.

"Ahhh!"

"Run!"
