Due to the restraint of the Primordial Spore, the âEmperorâ character was unable to stop Xia Jiuhuangâs body from counter attacking. The demonic sword stabbed into Xia Jiuhuangâs head inch by inch. At the same time, a black demonic aura invaded Xia Jiuhuangâs body, weakening his vitality.
The âEmperorâ word was a Wheel of Destiny condensed by Xia Jiuhuang. Its foundation was Xia Jiuhuang. As Xia Jiuhuangâs vitality weakened, the light on the âEmperorâ word dimmed, no longer having the same aura as before.
âHow dare you...â Just as Zhou Wen was feeling delighted, he suddenly heard a cold womanâs voice coming from above the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The source of the voice was none other than the log erected there.
Thereâs a woman inside the log?
Zhou Wen was alarmed.
As the womanâs voice sounded from the log, the stars in the sky shimmered. Starlight cascaded down, passing through the dark clouds and illuminating Forbidden City.
Zhou Wen took a careful look and saw that the lit stars were clearly the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions. Apart from the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions, no other starlight penetrated the dark clouds.
The starlight shone down, causing Forbidden City to emit resplendent starlight. The four Corner Towers in particular emitted a divine glow.
Be it the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions in the sky or the four Corner Towers, they were all centered around the log. Starlight gathered on the log, causing the log to emit purple starlight as though there were countless stars swirling inside.
Under the illumination of the starlight emitted by the purple log, Zhou Wen felt a pain in his forehead. Immediately, he felt that something was amiss. He took out a mirror and saw purple light and lines appear on his forehead. From the parts that had condensed, it looked like he was about to condense the word âslaveâ again.
The layout of Forbidden City is the Purple Forbidden Enclosure. The Purple Star is also known as the Emperor Star. Itâs the Life Star of an emperor. Now that the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions have appeared and the four Corner Towers have submitted, could it be that Emperor Polestar is in the log?
Zhou Wen guessed.
If it was really the legendary Emperor Polestar, Zhou Wen felt that he was doomed today. Unlike ordinary Mythical creatures, Emperor Polestar was an existence that controlled all immortals. He was an immortalâs emperor and not something ordinary Mythical creatures could compare with.
The slave word on his forehead became more and more obvious. Zhou Wen switched several Life Souls, but he was unable to stop the formation of the slave word.
Suddenly, Zhou Wen felt a force surge out of his body. It was the power of the Sigh of the King. However, this time, it wasnât under Zhou Wenâs control, but an autonomous act of the Sigh of the King. It was somewhat similar to the time he knelt.
In an instant, the incomplete âslaveâ word on Zhou Wenâs forehead shattered and dissipated. The power of the Sigh of the King enveloped his body as though he had been placed in a warm embrace.
âScram!â Zhou Wen felt a voice coming from him.
The voice was indiscernible, but it seemed to possess a supreme might. The dark clouds that enveloped Forbidden City instantly dissipated, revealing the clear sky and sun. There was no longer any cloud.
The starlight of the twenty-eight Lunar Mansions instantly dimmed and vanished without a trace. The starlight of Forbidden City also dissipated as the four Corner Towers collapsed. The log fell from the Hall of Supreme Harmony and slammed into the ground.
The log trembled incessantly as though it was about to collapse. It left Zhou Wen alarmed.
Crack!
Xia Jiuhuangâs body finally couldnât withstand the power of the demonic sword and was split into two. Demonic aura surged through his corpse as though it wanted to destroy his body.
The mysterious phone suddenly vibrated. Zhou Wen took out his phone and saw that the game screen of the Dead Man Tree had automatically switched on. When he snapped a picture of Xia Jiuhuangâs corpse, it was sucked in without leaving a drop of blood behind.
Without having the time to take a careful look at the Dead Man Tree, Zhou Wen unsummoned his Companion Beasts and put on the Invisibility Cloak before running.
The log that had collapsed in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony trembled more and more violently, like a volcano that was about to erupt. As for Zhou Wen, the Sigh of the Kingâs power had already receded, making him feel uneasy. He wanted to escape from Forbidden City.
Perhaps due to the absence of the dark clouds and starlight, Zhou Wen successfully rushed out of Forbidden City. However, just as he rushed out, he saw a purple beam shoot into the sky.
Then, all of Forbidden City emitted a terrifying purple glow, like an immortal city condensed from starlight.
Zhou Wen didnât dare look any further. He turned around and ran, hoping to get as far away from Forbidden City as possible.
After running for a short distance, he saw Wang Lu looking at Forbidden City with the chick and antelope not far away. The anomaly in Forbidden City worried Wang Lu. She closed her eyes and pressed her palms together in front of her chest as she muttered something.
âGoddess of Luck, please help Zhou Wen and let him return safely.â
Zhou Wen was greatly touched when he heard that. He thought to himself,
Wang Lu is really kind-hearted.
The antelopeâs eyes stared at Zhou Wen. Clearly, the Invisibility Cloakâs ability wasnât effective against it.
The chick was also staring in Zhou Wenâs direction, but its eyes were somewhat puzzled. It seemed to have discovered Zhou Wen, but it didnât see him.
âWang Lu, letâs go.â Zhou Wen appeared and ran out with Wang Lu.
Now that there was an anomaly in Forbidden City, no one knew what would happen. The further away they were, the better.
Wang Lu jumped in fright. Seeing that Zhou Wen was covered in injuries and many of his wounds were still bleeding, his clothes still drenched in blood, she couldnât help but worry. âAre you alright?â
âItâs fine. I wonât die yet. Letâs leave Forbidden City first. Itâs too dangerous here.â Zhou Wen summoned the Great Might Vajra Bull and jumped up with Wang Lu before running away.
When he was far from Forbidden City, Zhou Wen made the Great Might Vajra Bull stop.
Only then did he feel the excruciating pain in his body. He had been in a highly-strung state and hadnât paid any attention to his injuries. Now, he felt pain all over his body as though he was about to die. Every move he made hurt so much that he wanted to cry for mommy.
âYour injuries are serious. Iâll take you back to treat them now.â Wang Lu summoned a vine that crept onto Zhou Wenâs body and wrapped around him. At the same time, the bud burrowed into his wounds and emitted a faint glow to treat his injuries.
Then, she summoned a mount and brought Zhou Wen back like he was a vined mummy.
Zhou Wenâs injuries were too serious. He didnât know when he would recover, so he allowed Wang Lu to take him back.
Now, Zhou Wen was somewhat worried. He didnât know how Xia Liuchuan and Xia Xuanyue were doing, but he was injured. He didnât have the strength to save them.
With Xia Jiuhang dead, there shouldnât be anyone in the Xia family who wants their lives, right?
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that they wouldnât be in any danger. He would get Wang Lu to help him gather information later.
The anomaly in Forbidden City made the Xia family and the Special Inspector Bureau very concerned. They had set up a large number of people to monitor the situation inside, but no one could enter. They had no idea what was happening. All they could see was that Forbidden City was enveloped by clouds like an immortal city, making it even more unfathomable.
