Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The news that Li Mo, the original saint son of the Li family, suddenly announced his retreat did not cause much turmoil in the imperial capital.

Only the five sects and seven sects of the Chu State discovered some clues, because Li Xian appeared in the Li family not long after Li Mo went into seclusion.

In particular, Li Xian appears as the quasi-sage of the Li family.

In this way, many things are self-evident. The original holy son Li Mo was in seclusion, and suddenly a quasi-holy son appeared. The Li family's intention to abolish the holy son was already obvious.

But none of the five families and seven sects had any attitude towards this. Compared with the Li family's dethroning of the Holy Son, a sudden incident in the imperial capital attracted more attention.

"What!"

"The Eastern Region families and sects who came to celebrate their birthdays were kidnapped by a mysterious strong man when they left the imperial capital and returned?"

"Is this true?"

Last night had just passed, and as dawn rose today, the news was like a bomb dropped mercilessly into the ocean of the imperial capital.

In an instant, the streets and lanes of the imperial capital were all talking about this, making it the most eye-catching topic in Chu State.

"of course it's true?"

"Where did the news come from? Did it come from within the Zhaoxing Division?"

"Of course it was not leaked by Zhao Xingsi, but where did this news come from... I don't know, anyway, the whole imperial capital is rumored today!"

"And some people have already gone to investigate. For example, after the Fantian Sect, Baitian Sect and other sects in the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect left the imperial capital, they never came back, and they never returned to their own sects and families!"

"Isn't Lord Lang about to get married? Meng Qinxian, the holy son of Fantian Sect, and Nie Shang, the saint of Beitian Sect, have been friends with Lord Lang for many years. Have they returned to the imperial capital to celebrate Lord Lang?"

"No! As far as I know... the Fantian Sect and Baitian Sect have never come back since they left the imperial capital!"

"..."

"Big news, in the mountains and forests outside the imperial capital, we quietly discovered the remains of the Dingtian Sword Sect's Yunzhou!"

"Although the Zhaoxing Division and the Forbidden Army have blocked the surrounding areas, and the wreckage of Yunzhou has been almost cleaned up, we still found some clues, and we are sure that it is Yunzhou from the Dingtian Sword Sect!"

"Could it be that...the Dongyu families and sects who left the imperial capital were really attacked!"

"..."

Within and outside the imperial capital, this matter became known to everyone in just one night.

Word of mouth spread, and within half a day, the news spread throughout most of the Chu State.

Then the news began to spread to the Eastern Territory inadvertently!

Almost ten days later, all the warriors in the Eastern Region received news that all the Eastern Region families and sects who went to the imperial capital to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Chu were attacked.

All warriors at the level of the Holy Son and the Ancestor disappeared mysteriously.

~~

Imperial capital.

In the Golden Hall of the Imperial Palace, under that beam of divine light, the dragon chair, which represents the highest power of the Chu State, is magnificent.

The person sitting on the dragon throne should have been one of the most authoritative warriors in the world, but at this moment, he was frowning.

Apart from that beam of divine light, there were no buildings or people in the Golden Palace.

Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face and asked coldly: "Who leaked the news?"

In the darkness, someone replied: "The Zhaoxing Division can guarantee that no news will be leaked!"

The person who answered obviously had a high status within the Zhaoxing Division. His voice was sonorous and powerful when he spoke, and his attitude made it clear that the Zhaoxing Division had not leaked the information.

As soon as this person finished speaking, another man with a loud voice replied: "The Forbidden Army involved in this matter are all carefully selected, and there is a 'sealing curse', so it is impossible for the Forbidden Army to leak the information !”

This person's answer obviously showed that he had a high status within the Forbidden Army and could speak on behalf of the Forbidden Army in front of Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu frowned deeply and asked in confusion: "Since neither the Zhaoxing Division nor the Forbidden Army leaked the news, why did this news become known to everyone?"

In the golden palace, in the darkness, there was a moment of silence.

Emperor Chu was not in a hurry to continue asking. After waiting for a while, someone answered:

"When the top sect's holy son and ancestor were kidnapped, although it was jointly supervised by the Zhaoxing Division and the Forbidden Army, there were not a few people who knew the inside story!"

"Langhou Ye also knows about this, and all the five families and seven sects of Chu State have visited him. It is estimated that Langhou Ye also revealed some information to them."

"The intelligence systems of Prince Liang's Mansion and Prince Hong's Mansion are also relatively complete. It is not difficult for them to get some information!"

"There are more people in the royal family who know about this, and we can't send them out to possibly reveal it to the outside world."

In the darkness, this person opened his mouth and analyzed the warriors and forces who knew the inside story very thoroughly.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chu's face turned livid, he clenched his cheeks, and the veins on his forehead began to beat.

The man suddenly changed the topic and said: "In addition to some warriors in the imperial capital who know the inside story, Your Majesty, we have also forgotten another force."

Emperor Chu asked: "Who?"

The man said: "This person not only knows the inside story, but also knows everything in detail. He even knows it better than us."

Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows and was a little curious. If there really was this person, and if he could help Chu State, would it be easy to find the captured Holy Son and Patriarch soon?

But what the man said next made Emperor Chu disappointed, and he was immediately speechless.

The man said: "This force... is the force that captured the saint sons and ancestors of the top sects."

"The people they arrested, they certainly knew what was going on."

Emperor Chu had a wry smile on his face, thinking that he would be able to take this opportunity to help Chu State solve the case, but he did not expect that it would end like this.

Emperor Chu asked: "What do you mean by this?"

The man replied: "Your Majesty, in just one night, the news that the top sect's saint son and ancestor were kidnapped spread throughout the entire imperial capital!"

"The news circulates so fast, doesn't Your Majesty think there is something fishy in it?"

"And after it spread throughout the imperial capital, everyone in the Chu country knew about it in just five days. After half a month, almost all the warriors in the Eastern Region received the news."

"If no one was behind this incident, it would have been impossible for the news to flow so fast!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Emperor Chu frowned in thought, but the warriors in the Golden Palace also took a deep breath.

The man continued: "The sects and forces with such power are definitely not something that the five or seven sects of the Chu State can achieve, let alone any of the sects in the four major territories of the Eastern Region!"

"This force must have terrifying dominance and an extraordinary intelligence network in the eastern part of the demon world!"

"Looking at the entire Eastern Region of Demon Realm, there are only two such powers, and one is our Chu State!"

"And the other one..."

Emperor Chu's eyes darkened and he whispered: "Nine Nether Demon Palace."
