Chapter 317 The Twisted Emperor and the Dark Faith!

Great Wei City.

Deep Roots Hall.

Floor, walls, hall pillars.

All covered with twisted tree roots.

Hundreds of thousands of dried corpses are entangled and covered in them.

In the center of this extremely eerie hall, countless twisted roots form a 100-meter-long strange tree, like a huge naturally formed altar.

There is a pale-haired, skinny man wearing a gorgeous wide fur coat and a big crown, sitting on the throne on top of the strange tree altar. His chest is pierced by a stone sword, and the whole person is nailed to the seat.

If you look closely, you will find that.

Although this person is dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, his body has been severely twisted. Most of his body and even his feet have turned into roots and grown together with the strange tree. His mental power spreads throughout the space through the surrounding roots, and even covers the entire imperial city.

It is Cao Rui, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Everyone with a strong breath at the scene.

All of them are on the throne of the strange tree.

The distorted emperor saluted.

Although the emperor of Wei was no longer in human form, he also possessed terrifying power.

Under Cao Rui's gorgeous crown was a lifeless and withered face, like a terminally ill patient, on the verge of death.

But at this moment.

"No need to salute!"

The voice came out of the throats of tens of thousands of corpses in the entire hall at the same time.

The voice was dry and rotten, like the howling of hundreds of ghosts, which made people's scalps numb.

"The governor of Yong'an sent a message that the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord, who was dormant in Taicang Ridge, attacked Yong'an City not long ago."

Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this. On this land covered by the abyss, many ancient and powerful beings have been bred for more than 300 years. The Hundred-Headed Demon Lord is one of them, and he is a very tricky one.

After all, there is the shadow of the evil god from the outside world behind him.

Cao Zhen stood up and said, "We are in a stalemate with the Sima bandits. We must stabilize the rear immediately to prevent them from taking advantage of us."

Chen Qun: "The Great Sima is right, but this kind of incomparable devil is not so easy to deal with."

Cao Rui: "Who of you is willing to go?"

Most of the dozens or hundreds of people at the scene looked at each other. Although there were almost no ordinary people who were qualified to appear here, and each of them was a powerful strong man, there were not many who were sure to defeat the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord.

Cao Zhen: "I am willing to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in person, and I will quell the rebellion in Taicangling within ten days!"

While speaking.

A strong breath spread.

Let all kinds of bloody scenes and fighting scenes appear in the surrounding air.

This Great Sima of the Great Wei is the most trusted person of His Majesty the Emperor. Not only is his own talent extremely high, but he has used countless cultivation resources for more than three hundred years, and in recent years he has entered the status of the Abyss King.

Such strength.

Looking at the Wei Dynasty court.

That can also be ranked in the top few.

Naturally enough to fight against the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord in his prime.

Chen Qun said at this time: "I think the Grand Sima is the pillar of the Wei Dynasty and cannot be easily moved!"

Cao Zhen's main task at present is to fight against the Sima family. He commands the most elite generals and major military groups of the Wei Dynasty, and is engaged in a protracted confrontation with the Sima family.

Once he leaves.

Instead, it will leave a flaw.

Moreover, although Cao Zhen is very good at fighting.

He may not be able to deal with the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord.

Because the existence of the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord is similar to a source of abyss pollution. It is very difficult to completely eliminate the source. The best way is to seal it. Cao Zhen is obviously not the best candidate.

Cao Rui personally opened his mouth at this time to select the generals: "Cao Shuang, Wang Shuang, Man Chong!"

"I am here!"

The three stood up.

Each of them has a strong aura.

All of them are first-class abyss overlords.

Cao Rui ordered, "You three go."

Cao Shuang is Cao Zhen's most powerful son, and he has mastered almost all the secrets of Cao's skills.

General Wang Shuang is the bravest of the three armies and one of the top generals of Wei. His self-created "Unparalleled Fighting Soul Art" is extremely fierce and can attack and defend at the same time.

The last one is Man Chong, who is both civil and military. He is not only a cruel official and capable minister of Wei, but also a good general who is good at fighting. He is good at martial arts and is proficient in magic.

Not only is his comprehensive strength ranked among the best in the field, but he is also particularly good at spiritual, soul, and sealing methods, so that he can ensure that this operation is foolproof.

These three people took action.

Even if they failed to defeat the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord.

At least they can set up a seal to suppress him for a period of time.

"Yes!"

The three had no objection.

Immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order.

"In addition to dealing with the threat of the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord, you three have another very important mission." Cao Shuang issued a new instruction, "I heard that Mu Sheng Ma Jun is lurking in the north. You must find his whereabouts on this trip."

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty!"

At this time.

Chen Qun suddenly stood up and proposed:

"Although the strength of the three generals is enough to deal with the threat of the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord, the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord is not fighting alone. He has been operating in Taicang Ridge for many years and has mastered a large-scale foreign demon force. I am afraid that we cannot fight against him without sending out elite troops."

"In addition, if Taicang Ridge is in turmoil, the Sima bandit party will probably not stand idly by and watch. There is a great possibility that they will send top masters to secretly interfere. We have to be on guard against sneak attacks!"

Cao Rui: "What your lord said makes sense. So according to your lord, what preparations should be made?"

Chen Qun: "I dare to recommend the general to go there in person. A general is better than thousands of troops. All the villains are just chickens and dogs in front of him!"

The general he was talking about.

It was Zhang He, the most famous general of Cao Wei.

The eyes of all the ministers and generals were focused on this person.

For more than three hundred years, this former one of the five best generals of Cao Wei, and the only one left, has already become a legendary figure in this land, and has even been called the military god of the time!

Even the Grand Marshal Cao Zhen was very afraid of him.

In the past hundred years, in the battles with the Sima family, Zhang He was the undisputed number one in terms of military exploits. As long as he appeared on the battlefield, he would immediately become the absolute ruler of the war.

Cao Rui: "What do you think, General?"

Zhang He didn't know why Chen Qun wanted to recommend him. Unless Deng Ai and Zhong Hui appeared in the north at the same time, this move would be like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, but he knew that Chen Qun must have his deep meaning for doing so.

"I am willing to go!"

"Okay, in that case, then please ask the general to go on this trip in person!"

...

A few minutes later.

The audience with the emperor was over.

The important ministers and generals withdrew from the deep root space.

Chen Qun came to Zhang He who was about to leave and said, "Junyi, aren't you curious why I strongly recommended you to take this trip?"

Zhang He said calmly, "I have worked with you for almost four hundred years. You must have your reasons for choosing to do this."

Obviously.

Zhang He still trusted Chen Qun very much.

If Chen Qun was willing to explain, he would naturally come forward to explain.

If he was unwilling to explain, it would be useless even if he asked.

Chen Qun secretly gave a look.

Zhang He understood immediately.

He stamped his feet lightly.

A kind of barrier field unfolded with the two people as the center.

Although this field barrier was invisible, it could block all external perceptions. Even Cao Rui could not hear the content of the conversation between the two at this moment.

Chen Qun did not keep anyone in suspense.

He said directly: "There are two things I must tell you."

Zhang He: "I guess one of them must be about Mu Sheng Ma Jun!"

Chen Qun nodded: "Do you know why His Majesty is so eager to find Mu Sheng?"

Zhang He: "Mu Sheng's talent is better than thousands of troops. Both Your Majesty and Sima's bandits want this talent. It seems that there is no need for other reasons."

Chen Qun: "But Brother Junyi doesn't know that although Mu Sheng's talent is rare in the world, His Majesty is eager to find him for another purpose!"

"What purpose?"

"Your Majesty wants to open the seal of Shouyang Mountain and completely release the pollution!"

Zhang He's face changed drastically when he heard this. Even for him, this news was very explosive!

He actually wanted to unlock the seal of the core pollution area?

Is His Majesty crazy?

Okay.

He was crazy a long time ago!

Zhang He: "Are you serious? If the seal of Shouyang Mountain is broken, the whole earth will be swept by catastrophe!"

Chen Qun: "This is absolutely true!"

Although Zhang He was quite shocked, he did not doubt the authenticity. On the one hand, it was out of trust in Chen Qun, and on the other hand, it was not groundless.

In recent years.

The Sima family has continued to grow.

The threat to Wei has become more and more aggressive.

The existing Sima family power alone is enough to compete with Cao Wei.

The most fatal thing is that the unfathomable person behind the Sima family has shown a trend of recovery in recent years. Once this existence is completely revived, Wei may not be able to fight against it at all.

Under this situation.

With your majesty's current half-crazy state.

It is not impossible for him to make an extreme choice, awaken the sealed emperor, and use the abyss pollution to fight against the Sima family.

"It seems that during this trip, this general must find the Wood Saint faster than others." Zhang He thought thoughtfully.

Chen Qun: "I suggest that the general try to hide him. If he can't hide him, kill him decisively. Don't let him fall into your majesty's hands, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhang He thought about it but didn't comment.

"What is the second thing?"

"This second thing is also about a person."

"Who?"

"A Taoist named 'Xuan Yin' appeared in Yong'an City. This person has a high level of Taoism and cultivation. He defeated the attack of the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord by himself."

So that's it!

Zhang He nodded.

"Don't worry, Lord Ling. I already know what to do next."

Although the current Wei City seems to be full of powerful people, the forces behind it are actually very complicated.

The two main and largest factions.

They are the clan faction and the strength faction.

The clan faction is represented by Grand Marshal Cao Zhen, including Cao Shuang and Xiahou clan members, as well as people who have defected to this faction, such as Wang Shuang and Hao Zhao.

As for the strength faction, it is mainly composed of foreign officials such as Zhang He and Chen Qun. Although there seem to be more masters, they are not as trusted by the emperor as Cao Zhen.

The two factions have been fighting openly and secretly for many years.

Xuanyin, a free-spirited Taoist who appeared in Yong'an City at this moment, is a top-notch strongman even among the fourth-level overlords, judging from his strength.

No matter which of the two major factions takes him in.

It is a big threat to the other faction.

That's why Chen Qun mentioned it to Zhang He.

He hoped that Zhang He could contact this Xuanyin woman before Cao Shuang and others, recruit her to his side, and pull her into his camp or alliance.

Zhang He said: "I will see this Xuanyin!"

Hearing him say this.

Chen Qun was relieved.

...

At the same time.

At about the same time.

In another place of this land.

There is a majestic city standing on the earth.

This city is the famous Western Capital Taiyou City. It also has no roots in history. It is a new city built by connecting the luck of ten surrounding cities after Sima established himself.

People call it: Western Capital or Dark City, Taiyou City.

In the center of this majestic city, there is a huge temple, which is composed of dozens of stepped pyramids of various sizes.

All temple buildings are made of a kind of black stone. Even when the daylight is the strongest, this area looks dark and gloomy.

This is the Western Emperor City.

The most famous dark temple.

This is the temple built by the Sima family with the whole country's strength after they split the West. A grand sacrifice is held every year, so that the whole people are fanatics of the "Lord of Darkness"!

The main hall of the temple is hosting a sacrificial ceremony full of cult atmosphere.

Dozens of powerful beings gathered here, including many masters of the Sima family, as well as famous generals with great luck such as Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, Yang Hu, and Du Yu.

However.

Strangely,.

Everyone is wearing a mask.

The whole body is covered in a black robe.

They seem to be weightless, floating directly above the altar. There are hundreds of living sacrifices on the altar. With the opening of the blood sacrifice ceremony, the formation on the surface of the altar is activated, and the solid ground becomes a hollow abyss.

Countless dark and tiny tentacles.

Released from the dark abyss.

Hundreds of living sacrifices were cruelly dismembered and torn on the spot.

When all the flesh and souls were swallowed and absorbed by this altar.

Purple-black essence gushed out from it, shared by everyone on the scene, making everyone's breath stronger.

When the sacrifice was over.

Sima Zhao, one of the two pillars of the Sima family.

He slowly opened his eyes from the state of madness.

"I felt the revelation from the Lord of Darkness!"

Sima Zhao's eyes were filled with endless enthusiasm and excitement, "The breath of the stars appeared in the north."

As soon as these words came out.

The scene immediately became a commotion.

Everyone's eyes under the mask showed greed and excitement.

But they also felt confused. If the power of the stars descended on this world, there was no reason why they could not feel it at all.

Zhong Hui spoke first: "Could it be that the Lord of the Stars appeared?"

Sima Zhao said: "The breath of the stars only appeared for a moment, and it seemed to be blocked by some powerful force."

No wonder no one else felt it. If it weren't for the oracle of the Lord of Darkness, I'm afraid everyone would have been kept in the dark.

Sima Shi ordered: "Sima Yan!"

"I am here!"

A person wearing a mask and covered in a black robe immediately stood out from the queue.

Sima Shi ordered: "You go with Yang Hu and Du Yu, and you must find the traces of the stars on this trip!"

"Yes!"

While speaking.

The three masked and black-robed figures turned into a black mist and disappeared above the altar.

…………

The main city of Luoshui.

In the core hall.

Hang Yu has always been paying attention to the actions in the Shouyang Mountain area.

Jia Xu's layout has begun to work. He first tried to lure out the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord, a follower of the outer god, and then used the Hundred-Headed Demon Lord to attack Yong'an City to disrupt the situation.

In this process, Jia Xu will disguise himself and infiltrate the local area, participate in the competition among various forces as a "Xuanyin" Taoist, and can also take the opportunity to attract the two major forces from Shouyang Mountain.

It probably won't take long.

Cao Wei and even the Sima family will send experts to Yong'an City.

At that time, Jia Xu will find a suitable target to attack. With his strength as a level 40 king, although he is not able to walk sideways on this land, there are probably not many who can threaten his existence.

Especially in the situation where the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark.

The stronger and higher the status of the experts sent by Dongdu and Xidu, the more beneficial it is for the territory.

Once Jia Xu takes action to control them.

Whether it is made into a puppet or sent to the territory, it can bring convenience to the territory's next actions.

Hang Yu naturally nodded with satisfaction.

Jia Xu's operation was very bold, but I believe that with his ability, he is enough to wander between the various forces and take the opportunity to seek the greatest benefits for the territory.

He decided to wait and see.

Be prepared to intervene personally when necessary.

Hang Yu believes that it won't be long before a good show will be staged in Yong'an City, and the various forces in Shouyang Mountain will clash in this place.

In this process.

Hang Yu can also see the existence of the famous generals and various forces in this world.

Although the core pollution source in the Shouyang Mountain area has been sealed, even other secondary pollution sources are suppressed or sealed.

This results in the pollution traces of this land not being obvious.

But it does not mean that this land can breed a normal civilization or environment.

After all, this world is the abyss plane of the Eternal Night Layer, and the abyss timeline in the Shouyang Mountain area is too long. In such a place where external evil gods are surrounded and local evil gods are constantly growing, most people are likely to be abnormal.

The longer you live.

The more likely it is to have problems.

The more abyss knowledge you come into contact with during the practice.

The more likely you are to practice strange and bizarre skills and states.

The most important thing is that Shouyang Mountain not only has evil god followers, but there may even be evil god clones... Sima Yi is very likely to have awakened his divinity like Zhang Jue, Guan Yu, and Cao Cao!

If he can still stay awake, it's okay.

Once he is completely reduced to an abyss evil god.

Then not only Sima Yi himself is a terrifying existence, but also the forces related to him will become evil gods. Such forces can no longer be speculated by conventional logic and are also one of the biggest threats to the endless struggle of the Star Lords.

However.

The greater the risk.

The greater the benefit.

The top priority is to end the activities in the Sea of ​​Eternal Darkness as soon as possible.

First, get the generous rewards of the Lord Competition. This will not only greatly enhance the strength of the territory, but also allow the territory to devote all its energy to the development of Shouyang Mountain.
