Doomsday Game.

Just before the action began, when the night had just begun.

While other areas gradually quieted down due to the curfew, the imperial palace in the imperial capital became more and more lively.

A royal dinner ordered by Her Majesty the Empress herself began to be prepared two days ago and officially started tonight.

Before it got dark, most of the royal relatives in the imperial capital were summoned to the palace to attend this grand dinner.

Not only the royal family members, but also many powerful civil officials of the current dynasty were invited to participate, including the prime minister and the chief minister.

In the spacious palace, all the big figures in the Dali Dynasty gathered at this time, and any one of them was an existence that ordinary people could not touch once in their lifetime!

Not to mention, the contemporary emperor of the Dali Dynasty, the empress Ji Qingyi, was also present throughout the whole process and had fun with the guests.

In the magnificent palace, there were delicious food and fine wine, as well as music and dance to liven up the atmosphere. It was extremely luxurious, attracting countless dignitaries to indulge in it, enjoying it with smiles on their faces, toasting each other, and creating a warm atmosphere of joy for both the host and the guests.

Among the guests, the only ones missing were the empress's husband, the Demon-Subduing Emperor Nie Jiuli, and her most proud eldest daughter, Princess Jingyang Ji Hanyue.

Although some people noticed this, the empress had no intention of explaining it, and no one dared to ask more.

The dinner had already begun. After finishing the opening remarks, the empress Ji Qingyi lazily leaned on the main seat, holding the glass wine glass in her jade hand, drinking it sip by sip, looking absent-minded, and seemed to be uninterested in the luxurious banquet in front of her.

Just as the guests were toasting and touching the lights, a vast wave of demonic power suddenly erupted outside the palace. Waves of golden light waves swept through the barrier of the building and swept the whole venue. All the extraordinary people in the venue were immediately shocked. An illusory cursor appeared above their heads, emitting a straight beam of light that shot straight into the sky and directly penetrated the roof of the palace.

Among these cursors, the demon slayer was golden, and the Qigong practitioner was white.

Such a strange phenomenon naturally caused panic among most of the guests in the venue. They had no idea what was going on, not to mention that the pale golden illusory light waves continued to appear and washed endlessly.

Before they could make a fuss, they heard the sound of ghosts and wolves howling one after another from the outside world, as if a large number of inhuman monsters were roaring and screaming in all directions.

This finally made them unable to sit still. They looked panicked and exclaimed. For a while, the palace became chaotic and noisy.

"This...what's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Is it an attack? Who is so bold?"

"This sound! It's a demon! Is there a demon invading?!"

"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

"Where are the guards? Protect your majesty!"

...

The chaos had just begun, and the empress on the main seat was already annoyed by the noise. She frowned and spoke with a calm voice that instantly overwhelmed all the noise in the venue:

"Quiet!"

These two simple words seemed to have the power to calm people's hearts.

The officials calmed down immediately and looked at the empress.

Ji Qingyi still had a lazy posture, casually waving her hand holding the wine glass, and ordered:

"Sit down for me! What is there to be afraid of? Continue to drink your wine. No one can leave the palace without my order."

This attitude has proved that the empress is also an insider, and everything is under the control of your majesty.

The guests who saw this finally felt relieved and sat back in their seats.

They were not stupid. They finally came to their senses and realized that this dinner had another purpose.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became quiet, but it also became much more silent and solemn, not as extravagant as before.

The empress looked around with her beautiful eyes. She did not see any gray or black cursors emitting ominous red light above anyone's head, so she calmed down a little and poured herself a glass of wine slowly, thinking to herself:

"Next, all we have to do is wait? I just don't know how many big fish we can catch this time."

...

The sight returned to the outside world.

Just as Chu Yan used the Tianxiang of the Bi'an Dharma to scan out all the hidden demons in the city, the human armed forces such as demon slayers, imperial guards, guards, and qigong practitioners who had been deployed in advance in major urban areas, major streets, and various political places immediately appeared from the dark.

They chased after all the cursors emitting ominous red light with the force of thunder, some flew over the eaves and walls, some flew on the wind, and some surrounded them in small groups, quickly tightening the big net that had been laid long ago.

After the initial panic, the exposed demons subconsciously wanted to turn around and flee.

The Bi'an magic, which has been upgraded to the Heavenly Strike, not only has a larger range, but also a single scan has become a continuous multiple scan. The damage and confinement power after marking the abnormal target have also been increased by several levels.

Under the attack of the Bi'an power, they could not maintain their disguise and revealed their true colors. Now when they want to escape, they find that their bodies are like being trapped in a quagmire, and their limbs are bound by invisible shackles, and they are stuck in place and unable to break free.

And this delay has doomed them to lose the opportunity to escape and wander for a while.

In most cases, before they can get rid of the shackles, the human extraordinary people who came from all directions have surrounded them.

Various blood magic, alchemist spells, spirit weapons and magic blades rushed up and fell on them like rain.

The four small teams of the Jingyao Team, the elite demon slayers of the Demon Slayer Headquarters, and the demon slayers of the four imperial city branches are the main force against demons.

Not only the grassroots combatants, but also the general director, deputy general director, general directors of the four major branches, and three captains of the demon-slaying department headquarters, such as the standard fourth-level Tianxiang Venerable.

The number of Tianxiang Venerables alone reached double digits, not to mention the many half-step Venerables who held important positions.

These fourth-level and quasi-fourth-level strongmen did not stand aside at this time, but joined the battle as soon as possible, striving to take down these exposed demons as quickly as possible to avoid unnecessary losses to the imperial city due to long-term battles.

This was an order from the emperor, and even these big guys had to follow it and actively participate in the action, and they were not qualified to be arrogant.

Even Chu Yan, the commander-in-chief of the action, could not be an exception to this.

At this time, after he performed the Bi'an magic, his eyes immediately locked onto a direction not far from the palace.

With a move, he had turned into an illusory afterimage and disappeared on the spot.

To others, all abnormal marks looked the same, but as a caster, he could certainly find the most powerful one at the first opportunity.

"Only one demon king? Okay, you're mine!"
