Starting as a God-Emperor by Intercepting Destiny

0043 Leave a trap and head to the royal tomb.

"Your Highness, is it done?"

Bao'er was a little excited.

"No problem at all."

"Bao'er, look!"

Zhao Jing's soul is connected to the Dragon Tower.

The tomb raider, who had just lost all hope, regained his sight.

Her aura was fully unleashed.

Wei Zheng is a half-step Grandmaster, capable of covering a range of 500 meters, and no movement can escape his control.

Longlou is a grandmaster; if he were to unleash his full power, his range would be ten times that of Weizheng, a full five kilometers.

The movements of every blade of grass and every tree in the vicinity were transmitted back to Zhao Jing's sea of ​​consciousness through the Dragon Tower's divine sense, allowing him to see everything clearly.

However, releasing such an aura consumes a lot of true energy.

Martial artists do not release their aura when they are not in combat.

Bao'er's hair stood on end instantly, and she went into battle mode before realizing that they were her own people.

Seeing the cat's startled reaction, Zhao Jing couldn't help but chuckle and quickly put away the Dragon Tower.

The energy field is closed.

Bao'er was overjoyed:

"In that case, Your Highness's safety will be guaranteed."

Zhao Jing felt a warmth in his heart and patted Bao'er's head:

My safety always depends on you.

"You can't let your guard down."

Bao'er's tuft of hair and tail instantly stood up:

"I won't let my guard down!"

"Stay vigilant at all times!"

"That's right."

A rare smile appeared on Zhao Jing's face.

"But we need to get out of here quickly."

"The enemy will definitely send people to investigate."

Bao'er instantly realized what was happening and pointed to the surrounding remains, asking:

"Your Highness, what should we do with these?"

Zhao Jing smiled faintly:

"To fulfill the final duty of the descendants of the Zhao family."

"Reactivate the Qiankun Dragon Locking Formation."

"Whoever comes, we'll kill them!"

Before Bao'er could react, Zhao Jing walked up to Zhao Chuan and reached out to touch the center of his eyebrows.

The Great Dream of the Floating Pagoda - Past Dreams!

With the infusion of Zhao Jing's profound energy, Zhao Chuan gradually regained his color.

He began to speak:

"Second, second brother..."

"Your Highness, he has spoken!"

Bao'er was startled, thinking that Zhao Chuan had been resurrected.

Zhao Jing smiled faintly:

"This is just a remnant of memory."

After saying that, Zhao Jing gave Zhao Chuan an instruction:

"Xiao Chuan, you stay and continue the ritual."

Zhao Chuan seemed to have come back to life, nodding and saying:

"Second brother, I will continue, I will continue the sacrificial rites."

"and then?"

Zhao Jing nodded in agreement:

"If someone attacks, send them on their way."

Zhao Chuan followed up with his words:

"Yes, if someone attacks, we'll send them on their way."

Zhao Jing can directly control Zhao Chuan to perform the sacrificial ceremony with his divine soul, and then counterattack the enemy.

However, Zhao Chuan's last three words made Zhao Jing decide to put in a little more effort.

Stay and atone for your sins.

To do one last thing for the family.

"Yes, Second Brother."

Zhao Chuan nodded.

With Zhao Chuan staying behind as the core of the formation, Zhao Jing, with the help of the Dragon Tower, rebuilt the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation and initiated the sacrificial ceremony.

"Our ancestors are above!"

Zhao Chuan was imbued with a mark, restoring him to his appearance before breaking through the formation, and began to pray again.

The Dragon-Locking Stone was put back in its original place.

Without the Dragon Tower guarding it, it won't cut off the Xuan power of the imperial tomb like it did at the beginning.

But it is still like a dam, accumulating the power of mysterious forces.

If an enemy comes to investigate, Zhao Jing can give him a big surprise.

Every resource must be utilized.

Even Zhao Chuan's remains.

He did something wrong, so he should be punished and given another chance to atone.

May you be safe and happy in your next life.

Zhao Jing clasped his hands together and prayed for Zhao Chuan for a moment.

"Your Highness?"

Bao'er asked with some concern.

But she was greeted by Zhao Jing's warm smile:

"Let's go."

"We'll go to the highest cliff on Longevity Hill and ambush someone there."

"Ambushing someone?"

Bao'er was puzzled.

Zhao Jing smiled and said:

You'll find out when you get there.

"I could impersonate Ogawa then, that wouldn't be bad."

They have only one goal.

Imperial Mausoleum.

We're very close now.

……

Imperial Mausoleum, Mausoleum Village

The imperial tombs of past dynasties are of paramount importance.

Not only is it protected by a formation, but it also has tomb guardians.

They served the imperial tombs generation after generation, a position that could be described as the crops of the ironclad regime.

The tomb keepers were divided into two groups: one group was responsible for the sacrifices, and the other group was responsible for the protection.

A coup has now occurred in Yujing, plunging the tomb keepers into chaos.

"We should move out immediately to protect His Majesty."

"No, the duty of the tomb keeper is to protect the imperial tomb."

"If anything happens to the imperial tomb, we will both be sentenced to death."

"Are we just going to watch these traitors plot to usurp the throne?"

"Calm down. This was all the work of the eldest princess. Who knows, His Majesty might pass the throne to her today."

"If we go to support His Majesty, wouldn't we become traitors?"

Royal coups are the most likely cause of a dynasty's mental breakdown.

Since the other party has a right of succession, it is very likely just an internal royal power struggle.

This is different from the rebellion of an ordinary ambitious person.

Yuwen Yi's plan to go public through a backdoor listing, in alliance with the Eldest Princess, was all for the sake of legitimacy and to reduce resistance.

At the very least, they would hesitate.

The simplest question is: the Prince of Zhenbei is already a prince, and he followed the Yuwen family in rebellion. Could he possibly be granted an even higher title?

On the contrary, once the Yuwen family rises to power, they will gradually purge the powerful and influential in Dayong and replace them with their own people.

This was also something that Emperor Hongjing couldn't understand: how could they have joined forces?

The eldest princess's coup caused immense ideological confusion.

However, some people still disagree:

"How can Your Highness inherit the throne?"

"I'm afraid the future might be..."

"Silence!"

If it were any other prince, the tomb keeper could simply watch the show.

It's basically a royal family fighting over the inheritance.

Regardless of who comes to power, they all worship the same founding ancestor.

You're just a wage earner, why are you worrying about this?

She happened to be the eldest princess.

According to the patriarchal clan system, a princess is required to undergo a ritual of leaving the ancestral temple when she gets married.

What is the ritual of bidding farewell to the temple?

The eldest princess needed to pay respects to her ancestors and inform them that she was about to leave her family and become a member of her husband's family.

From then on, the eldest princess was no longer considered a member of the Zhao imperial family, but belonged to her husband's family.

The patriarchal clan system is centered on the family.

The eldest princess possesses a dangerous duality.

She could be a member of the Zhao imperial family or the Yuwen family.

Once she becomes a member of the Yuwen family, all the sacrificial rites at these imperial tombs will have to be changed.

The tomb keepers will have to be replaced.

This seriously violates the interests of the tomb keepers.

This is what sparked the dispute.

"Her Highness is still unmarried and a member of the royal family."

"Moreover, Yuwen Yi has a bad reputation and will obviously marry into the royal family."

"On the contrary, this person is a wolf in sheep's clothing."

"The Yuwen family is powerful enough; this is the first step, not the last."

The high-ranking members of the tomb keepers were engaged in a heated debate when a voice broke the silence.

"Okay, stop arguing."

"We're tired of hearing it."

The speaker was Xu Sheng, the leader of the tomb guardians, a master-level expert, and the eunuch in charge of guarding Wanshou Mountain.

"Father-in-law!"

"Godfather!"

The crowd immediately felt reassured, and their eyes turned to Eunuch Xu.

Eunuch Xu's eyes were somewhat dark:

"Let me say a few words."

"First and foremost, the tomb keepers must be loyal to His Majesty."

"Secondly, the primary duty of the tomb keepers is to protect the imperial tombs."

"No action shall be taken without orders."

"Your father-in-law is wise!"

In the chaos of such a coup, even a grandmaster-level expert can die like a wild dog.

Eunuch Xu repeatedly emphasized that orders should be followed.

If His Majesty has not given an order, then pretend you do not know, but you must not go and join the traitor.

Preserving yourself is the most important thing.

At this moment, a tomb keeper couldn't help but say:

"But father-in-law."

"The Beijing garrison just sent word that they will replace the tomb-guarding troops to protect the imperial tombs."

Eunuch Xu snorted coldly:

"Let them wait at the foot of Longevity Hill."

"Not a single one is allowed to go up the mountain."

"Even if Governor Gu comes, he'll have to stop him from coming."

"Execute him on charges of trespassing on the imperial tombs."

"Yes, Father-in-law!"

"The imperial mausoleum has also been placed on the highest level of alert, and the array level has been raised to the maximum."

"Even the tomb keepers are not allowed to enter; only members of the royal family are permitted."

When the coup began, the imperial mausoleum had already activated its grand formation, allowing only the tomb guardians and members of the royal family to enter.

Now, Eunuch Xu is worried that one of the tomb keepers might be bribed and participate in a coup.

This is not a good thing.

Let's just not let anyone in.

The tomb keepers quickly agreed:

"Yes, Father-in-law!"

"Everyone, cheer up!"

"Not even a fly is allowed to enter the imperial tomb."

Eunuch Xu made the decision for everyone; they were simply fulfilling their duties.

No one could find fault with it.

Everyone immediately felt relieved:

"Yes, Father-in-law."

Seeing everyone take action, Eunuch Xu remained agitated.

Guarding the imperial tombs was originally a desirable job, but now it has become a hot potato.

This is really troublesome.

After giving his instructions, Eunuch Xu got up to clear his head.

Grandmaster-level experts can ride the gale and take off from the spot.

Grandpa Xu had no other hobbies.

It will simply fly through the air on one of the mountaintops of Longevity Hill.

Eunuch Xu has a secret that no one knows.

Because he was a eunuch, he entered the palace at a young age and was used to seeing noble people. Every time he met a noble person, he had to bow his head and flatter them.

He didn't want to bow his head; he wanted to see others bow their heads.

Therefore, after achieving mastery of martial arts and being promoted to grandmaster, Eunuch Xu did not stay in the palace.

Instead, he applied to become the guard eunuch of Longevity Hill.

Here, he doesn't need to bow his head.

All you need to do is serve the late emperor.

He particularly enjoys jobs that others dislike.

Especially when no one was around, Eunuch Xu would look down from high above at the imperial mausoleum.

This is a clear overstepping of boundaries.

Therefore, Eunuch Xu was always very careful and did it secretly by himself.

Of course, he is a grandmaster-level expert, so even if he discovers it, he will at most reprimand him.

There shouldn't be any major problems.

That's why Grandpa Xu fell in love with this sport.

It's a bit stimulating, good for your mind and body, but won't cause any major harm.

Just as Eunuch Xu took off, overlooking the imperial mausoleum and relaxing, a sound suddenly rang in his ears:

"Eunuch Xu, you wouldn't want people to know that you've surpassed the late emperor, would you?"

Eunuch Xu's expression changed drastically.

Who, who's there!

Eunuch Xu immediately released his divine sense.

Suddenly, a fat dragon appeared, flying through the air from the bottom of the cliff.
