Chapter 101 (1/2)



101 An unknown secret (1)

Emperor Yuan jing was the first to bear the brunt. He fell to the ground in the strong Qi movement. The high platform shook violently, and the memorial tablets of his ancestors on the table fell one after another.

The offerings and utensils were scattered all over the ground, and some of the flying tiles hit Emperor Yuan jing.

The scene instantly became chaotic. The Imperial Army patrolling around quickly gathered and rushed toward sang Bo.

The night watchmen who were on guard by the lake rushed to the group of priests to protect the royal family and the civil and military officials.

there are assassins. Protect His Majesty.

protect the Empress, protect the princess …

protect the chief advisor …

Figures flickered. The ten Masters from the Yamen, the Imperial Guards, and the imperial family rose into the air in an instant. At least dozens of high-ranked martial artists landed on the high platform and the winding corridor, tightly protecting Emperor Yuan jing.

The disturbance only lasted for a dozen breaths, because the sword energy that pierced through the clouds quickly dissipated, and the lake returned to its calm state.

There were no assassins. As the storm subsided, everything was very stable. There were no casualties or suspicious people.

Wei Yuan was in charge of the security of the ritual. He walked along the winding water corridor and strode up to the platform. He bowed and said, ”

“I have failed my duty. I deserve to die.”

At this time, Emperor Yuan jing had regained his composure. However, after experiencing this incident, the faint immortal Qi in his eyes had completely disappeared.

He was no longer a Daoist who had cultivated for more than twenty years, but an unfathomably majestic Emperor who held power.

“Everyone, get out of the altar and don’t get close,” Emperor Yuan jing said in a deep voice.

All the high-ranked martial artists, including Wei Yuan, stood up and agreed.

Emperor Yuan jing straightened his clothes and dusted off his Imperial robe. He pushed open the temple door with a serious expression and entered.

…..

Beside the willow tree, Xu Qi ‘an did not hear any more strange cries for help. As time went by, his mind calmed down. The pain in his head was still there, but it was not as unbearable as before.

At this time, he had the energy to observe the situation around him.

His colleagues had left long ago to protect the civil and military officials, as well as the members of the imperial family and the Imperial clan.

There was no one on the platform, but the winding corridor was filled with high-ranked martial artists, led by Wei Yuan.

Emperor Yuan jing was nowhere to be found.

What surprised Xu Qi ‘an the most was that the roof beam of the legendary temple where the divine sword was enshrined had been broken, and a big hole had appeared.

Something went wrong during the ancestral worship, and the secret of sang Bo reappeared?

Thoughts flashed through Xu Qian’s mind. He pressed down on his swollen head and gathered with the rest of the team.

Because of his identity as the night watchman, he was not stopped.

“What’s wrong with you?” “How’s your health?” song tingfeng asked as he examined his new colleague.

Song tingfeng didn’t connect the abnormality of the lake with Xu Qi ‘an’s previous behavior.

It was just like how one would not associate the roar of a weak chicken with a magnitude 10 earthquake.

“I’ve been cultivating too hard these days and suffered a backlash.” Xu Qi ‘an found a reasonable explanation and continued, “”It’s a good thing I’ve recovered. By the way, what happened just now?”

“I don’t know,” Song tingfeng shook his head. He glanced around and put on a defensive posture. He said in a low voice, ”

“Yongzhen temple of mountains and rivers suddenly exploded. A sword Qi rushed out of the temple and caused the whole of Sangbo to boil as if there was an earthquake. But looking at the current situation, it doesn’t seem to be an assassin.”

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the high platform again. Was the hole in the roof of the temple pierced by the sword Qi? If the divine sword is this powerful, then the one who asked me for help just now definitely wasn’t a sword spirit.

He lowered his eyes for a moment and collected all his emotions and thoughts. Then he rushed to the eldest princess’s side and cupped his fists, ”

“How is the eldest Princess?”

The scene had returned to order. Although there were whispers everywhere, it was generally very quiet. Everyone was waiting for Emperor Yuan jing to come out.

Xu Qi ‘an’s shout attracted the attention of the people around him. There were his colleagues, the Imperial Army, the eunuchs, the eldest Princess, and the royal family members around her.

The eldest princess’s eyes were beautiful, but her expression was as cold as frost and snow. She tilted her head, and Xu Qi ‘an’s figure was reflected in her limpid eyes. Her voice was cold and crisp like the collision of Jade.

“I’m fine!”
