The people of the imperial city have always received bad news one after another recently.First, the animal disaster raged, and then even the queen was injured.And the power of ghosts and evil spirits that appeared in broad daylight yesterday was like the last straw that broke the camel's camel's back, causing panic in the imperial city for a while.

Today, the royal family and nobles must use force to directly determine who will go to support the queen, and this place is still in the fighting arena.It's right next to the half-scorched Bone Tool Academy.So early this morning, the outside of the fighting arena was surrounded by people who were anxious and anxious, trying to wait and see.

At this time, in the inner courtyard of the fighting arena.

"Your Highness, do you really want to let them in?" Gui Lan asked.Although the fighting arena is huge, if you really want to allow civilians to enter at will, there is not enough space.

"Seeing is believing, otherwise they will just be suspicious randomly. Pick the most influential ones, and it will be enough for each family to have a Patriarch."

"Yes……"

Seeing that Gui Lan took the order and left, the princess returned her attention to the arena.On the wide arena, Xue Qi was the only one standing in the center.

No matter how righteous these nobles were arguing in front of her, when Xue Qi really stood on the field, they immediately fell silent, and no one dared to step forward to fight.

"Sister..." Qichen said a little unconvinced, "Why don't you let me go?"

"Xiaochen, the most important thing now is to support the Queen Mother and put an end to the beast tide."

"Of course Qichen knows, but how does my sister know that Qichen is not as good as him?"

The princess hesitated to speak, but just shook her head. "You'll understand in a moment."

In the fighting arena, Xue Qi didn't look at the people in the audience, nor did he look at Siyi.He just closed his eyes and raised his hand casually.

The expressions of all the people present changed.

Just in the blink of an eye, an invisible force filled the space between heaven and earth.

Xue Qi's lapel fluttered automatically without wind.

The clouds in the sky seem to be stirred by a big hand, getting lower and lower, rolling and thickening.

In the martial arts training ground, the defensive array that has not been shaken for decades looms and crackles.

Xue Qi raised his head, there was neither sadness nor joy in his eyes, he just sighed as if he finally relaxed his muscles and bones.

In the blink of an eye, the situation changed, and the sun and the moon dimmed.The backlog of dark clouds in the sky is getting bigger and bigger, like a huge monster just born.It stretched its limbs, showed its fangs, then bowed its head towards Xue Qi, the center of its power, and knelt down.

Every inch the terrifying monster descended, the terrifying pressure in the air grew stronger.In a blink of an eye, dark clouds overwhelmed the entire fighting arena, and strong winds blew up all around.Just when the fear in people's hearts reached its peak, the breathless coercion subsided in vain. At the same time, a thick purple lightning struck down from the cloud with terrifying power.

With just one blow, the century-old protective formation collapsed.It also illuminated Xue Qi's expressionless face.

Immediately afterwards, the deafening thunder came rushing towards the face like a thousand troops and horses, and even the whole earth trembled.

Just when everyone was scared out of their wits, thinking that Xue Qi was going to massacre the audience, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up.

Xue Qi let go of his hand without saying a word, and the spiritual power that shook the world was completely absorbed in an instant.Then Xue Qi didn't even look at them, turned around and left.

The huge arena was obviously full of people inside and out, but at this moment it was eerily quiet, as if even the sound of people's breathing had stopped.

Qichen was already too shocked to move.Siyi also reacted for a while.He gripped the chair tightly and stood up.

"The royal family will attack with this momentum. There is nothing to fear from the mere beast disaster."

No one dared to speak out against it.Especially in front of the Hua family's position, there is a black shadow that seems to be able to lead to hell.

They can see clearly that if there is no protection from the training ground, the thunder will fall there.

in the palace...

Mu Yong slept very hard.He could feel the pain all over him.Although the pain was not severe, I couldn't tell where the pain was. From head to toe, I felt faint.

He frowned, trying to change his position, but when he tried hard, it still hurt.Changing postures did not improve.He opened his eyes irritably, and saw the familiar palace bedroom.

Mu Yong lost consciousness after being drugged, and couldn't remember what happened after he fell into Xu Tian's arms.He raised his aching arm in a daze, but was frightened by the tattoo-like light-colored scar.After being so frightened, my mind cleared up.

Before he could sit up, there was the sound of the door being pushed open.Mu Yong looked up and saw Xue Qi walking in.

"Mu..." Seeing that he finally woke up, Xue Qi's eyes lit up.But the person was fixed there and did not move again.

Mu Yong glanced at the scars on his body again, it was really similar to the empress's.He took a breath, "You attacked me?"

Xue Qi lowered his head.

As long as Mu Yong thinks about it, it is not difficult to piece together the cause and effect. For a while, he just feels all kinds of messy emotions rushing up.He wanted to explain that he didn't mean to find Xu Tian fooling around on purpose, he was drugged, and wanted to yell at him, this fool dared to hurt him!But all kinds of words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say a word.

Xue Qi also looked at him with a complicated expression, did not speak, and looked at each other for a while.Mu Yong simply closed his eyes and stretched out his hand, "Water..."

He is really thirsty and hungry.I don't know how long I slept.

Xue Qi immediately stood up straight and walked out the door.Soon someone brought water, and at the same time came a bowl of medicinal porridge.Then there was the imperial doctor who walked in the door.

"How do you feel?" the doctor asked.

Mu Yong took a sip of water at first, but he felt the water flow into his stomach, causing pain.

He said with a bad expression, "I feel a dull pain all over my body. It feels a little strange."

"It's normal..." The imperial doctor glanced at Xue Qi cryptically, hesitated to speak, and didn't say much.

But Mu Yong thought that he could change the direction of the demon bone's spiritual power with a little bit of electrical spiritual power. It is estimated that this electrical spiritual power is unusually destructive to living organisms, and it is a reason in his body.

Sure enough, the imperial doctor said, "You use your spiritual power to walk a few more big circles every day to nourish your meridians. If things go on like this, you should gradually get better."

The imperial doctor said it was a matter of course, but Mu Yong has low-level spiritual power, so he doesn't have any skills to practice.He was a little helpless and could only say, "I won't..."

The imperial doctor was stunned for a moment, he really had never treated civilians.However, it is estimated that the princess mentioned it, but she did not show arrogance.After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll find some books for you."

"it is good……"

"Do you have any other questions?"

Mu Yong raised his arm, "This, will it disappear?"

"Uh. Yours is shallow. If you want, you can also try scar cream. However, it is probably impossible to completely remove it."

Mu Yong looked down carefully.Indeed, if compared with the queen's, it looks more like a shallow mark.It even looks like a tattoo from a distance, but it's not that ugly.But this thing coiled around his body like a snake uninvited, which still made Mu Yong feel uncomfortable.

"Thank you..."

The imperial doctor nodded and went out.

Mu Yong sighed. He wanted to ask about Xu Tian's situation, but he also felt that Xue Qi would not know.However, the two were close at the time, and he guessed that Xu Tian was similar to him, except that she was a vain girl, with this scar on her body, it was probably as uncomfortable as death.There is no hope of clinging to the powerful in this life.

Mu Yong was emotional at most, and then took a sip of the medicinal porridge.A little medicinal, but the taste is okay.He began to eat in small mouthfuls, feeling the feeling in his stomach carefully.

After standing by the side for so long, Xue Qi still couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to come over.Sitting next to Mu Yong.Seeing that Mu Yong still didn't look at him, Xue Qi lowered his eyes.

"I'm sorry..." Mu Yong stopped eating porridge for a moment.

"I'm sorry..." Xue Qi said again, and carefully hugged him from behind. Mu Yong didn't move, and then hummed lightly.This fool had been suppressing his spiritual energy for too long, and it was understandable that he couldn't control his emotions.

Mu Yong wanted to say something to comfort him, but he heard Xue Qi say, "Mu is mine..."

Mu Yong frowned. "I was drugged." Although he explained, the faint sense of guilt disappeared.Seeing the red marks on his arms made him even more annoying.Xue Qi hugged him tightly, even causing him a dull pain, and he didn't know if he could recuperate well in the future.Thinking of this, Mu Yong put down the porridge and lost his appetite.

At this time, the door opened again.But Wei An...

Seeing that Mu Yong woke up, Wei An greeted him briefly, and then said, "The rest of the expedition has been confirmed. We will start tomorrow. The princess wants His Royal Highness Qi to go to worship the ancestors and ask for weapons now."

Mu Yong was stunned for a few moments before he remembered the princess' plan.It seems to have been successful?

"Why worship the ancestors?" Mu Yong asked.

"His Royal Highness Qi doesn't have a scepter bone vessel. But he wants to lead troops to go out. In this case, the ancestors are usually worshiped first. See which ancestors can support and borrow the bone vessel. Only then can the name be justified."

Mu Yong nodded, but Xue Qi took his hand, as if he wanted to go with him.Mu Yong, who was somewhat interested at first, didn't care, got up cautiously, followed Wei An with Xue Qi, and walked towards the throne hall.

The Enthronement Hall is really a place only used by the new emperor when he ascends the throne, but all the bone vessels used by the previous emperors are also displayed there.

When you get closer, there are more people.Mu Yong wanted to withdraw his hand, but Xue Qi didn't let go.Mu Yong didn't react a bit, and made a few more moves, but it was useless.Only then did he realize that Xue Qi's attitude was not right.

"What are you doing?" Mu Yong was a little angry, "Let go..."

Xue Qi shook his head lightly, but the strength in his hands did not loosen.

Mu Yong found that not only this fool, but others were also wrong.Many nobles were waiting outside. When they saw Xue Qi, they flinched a little. They all backed away politely to make way for him.No one dared to raise their eyes to see even Xue Qi breaking court etiquette by leading him.Even Hua Han, who was finally released, just hid in the distance with a gloomy face at this time, and did not dare to cast a glance at Mu Yong.

Mu Yong frowned.It seemed that something major had happened while he was in a coma.

Xue Qi led Mu Yong into the enthronement hall just like that.Mu Yong looked up and saw that the high wall of the enthronement hall was surrounded by portraits of the former kings.Before the portraits, hang the scepter of each emperor.I don't know what these paintings are made of, but they are so lifelike.So many former emperors looked down at Mu Yong from a high place, which made these portraits even more majestic and terrifying.Inexplicably, Mu Yong felt his heart beating and his forehead was sweating.I didn't dare to look any more, and instinctively wanted to step back.But the idiot grabbed him tightly again, Mu Yong didn't even dare to struggle vigorously, he was angry in his heart, but he could only be dragged forward.

There is a high platform with five steps in the center of the enthronement hall, and in the center of the high platform is a dragon chair.

The princess was just in front of the high platform, seeing Xue Qi leading Mu Yong, disapproval flashed in her eyes.

The closer he walked to the high platform, the more Mu Yong felt inexplicable fear, and his hairs stood on end.Sure enough, before he came to the front, the high platform suddenly lit up, and a golden light struck like Mu Yong.

It was a bone vessel!

Before Mu Yong was surprised, Xue Qi stepped forward and hid Mu Yong behind him.There was a loud bang in the air, and the golden light was knocked back.Xue Qi stared at the high platform angrily, and refused to go forward.

The princess shook her head, "Xiao Qi, you don't know, this enthronement platform only allows people of Wang family blood to be on the stage. Mu Yong will never approach, so don't mess around."

Mu Yong was finally able to pull his hand out of Xue Qi's.But at this time the gate has been closed, surrounded by nobles.Mu Yong had no choice but to kneel down on the spot, and only then did he feel that the pressure that had made him breathless had eased a bit.

The princess walked up to the high platform step by step. Every time she took a step, the steps under her feet would light up, but the light became darker and darker.She can only go up to the fourth step, and can't go up any more.Siyi looked at the dragon chair and said quietly, "I don't have great talent, so I don't even have the chance to be on this platform."

"Xue Qi. Only you can do it."

Xue Qi had no choice but to take a few steps towards the platform, and then walked up quickly.When they reached the top of the stage, the enthronement platform immediately burst into light, and the entire dragon chair was glowing.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of golden lights shot out from the dragon chair and hit the scepters of different former emperors respectively.All of a sudden, these scepters were all clanking, allowing him to choose.

Xue Qi didn't care, and stretched out his hand casually.All the scepters in the room were slowly spinning in the air.Everyone took a closer look, these scepters were obviously competing for beauty, competing with each other, and they all wanted to get into Xue Qi's hands first.

No one has ever seen such a spectacle.The whole room couldn't help being dumbfounded.Siyi couldn't help but look weird too.

It is difficult to obtain a weapon for ancestor worship, but now it is the other way around.

Xue Qi just took one more look at Empress Ziya's scepter, and then lost interest.

In the end, the scepter above his head seemed to have frightened everyone else, and he flew to Xue Qi on his own initiative, and Xue Qi held it.

"It's Tianrui..." A fearful and admiring voice came from beside him. "It is indeed an artifact to kill the enemy."

Xue Qi didn't look carefully, but looked at Mu Yong instead.

At this time, Mu Yong was pressed by the coercion of the former emperors, facing the dragon chair, and also facing Xue Qi who was standing on the highest place, kneeling silently.I can't even lift my head.

Ah.What did the former emperors want to say? A person like him can only kneel on the ground after entering this resplendent palace?

And this fool who kept saying that he couldn't live without him and wanted to marry him.On the contrary, he wants to be called emperor.

Mu Yong felt bitter in his mouth, making him feel sick.He actually felt sorry for Xue Qi.Worried about Xue Qi.For Xue Qi, he almost lost his life.

It's ridiculous...

The sound of Xue Qi's footsteps coming down from the high platform sounded, and he quickly stood in front of him again.

Mu Yong raised his head, and Xue Qi held in his left hand a black scepter with a tip as sharp as a blade and full of chilling aura.But the right hand insisted on holding his scarred hand.

Mu Yong took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, stood up carefully, and retreated respectfully from the Enthronement Hall.

When he got to a place where no one was around, Mu Yong didn't care about the pain, and wanted to pull his hand back fiercely.Xue Qi was still unwilling to let go.

Mu Yong wanted to curse, "I told you to let go, why don't you let go!"

Seeing Mu Yong angry, Xue Qi softened his attitude and lowered his voice, "We must always be together."

Xue Qi's expression was full of attachment as usual, but the scepter in his left hand reminded Mu Yong of how Xue Qi stood on a high platform just now and was worshiped by everyone.Mu Yong is now looking at this pretendingly pitiful face, he just feels hateful, "Why..."

Xue Qi was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little disbelieving and a little hurt. "we agreed……"

"Who said yes to you!"

Xue Qi's black eyes stared at Mu Yong, but his face was sullen, his mouth was pursed, and he didn't speak.He held Mu Yong's hand even tighter, and then just pulled Mu Yong forward.

"What do you mean..." Mu Yong's hand hurt from being grabbed, but he couldn't move.Clearly aware of the disparity in strength between him and Xue Qi, his heart sank, "You are the prince, so I can't help it anyway. Is it?"

Seeing that Xue Qi really ignored him, Mu Yong didn't even lose his anger, and only felt a chill all over his body.

At this time, the princess was standing in the enthronement hall, but she smiled decently at the silent nobles in the room.

"Since the ancestor worship is successful, His Highness Ming Riqi and I will lead the team to South Dragon City."
