Chapter 1758 My Father Said
"So it can only be that the remnants of the previous dynasty used these warriors to extract the murderous aura they possessed when they died in battle, and then used it at this opportune moment."
The Emperor Emeritus's expression changed. "Is it because those people found out that everyone was going to gather at the Ancestral Temple today, so they arranged this deadly move?"
"Are they planning to wipe us all out here?"
This is indeed a good time.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to gather so many members of the royal family at the ancestral temple.
The retired emperor quickly asked Yin Changxing, "Sect Leader Yin, can these things really kill people?"
Yin Changxing took a talisman, shook his finger, and the talisman caught fire. He held the talisman's flame in front of his eyes and opened them.
Although I can't see as clearly as Weng Songzhi's Heavenly Eye, now that I've opened my Heavenly Eye, I can roughly see a faint, blurry, misty thing in front of me.
"These things shouldn't be used for killing."
Yin Changxing's expression suddenly changed as he said, "These things are gathered together, probably to break through the spiritual energy of the ancestral temple and open the temple's protective aura over the capital of Great Zhou, in preparation for the subsequent attack."
When they heard that these things weren't meant for killing, the Emperor Emeritus and the Emperor breathed a slight sigh of relief. But then Yin Changxing said the next sentence, and their hearts jumped again.
The Emperor asked in a trembling voice, "What ancestral temple's spiritual energy, what protective aura, and who wants to attack? Where are they attacking?"
How come he doesn't know anything?
Yin Changxing's words were not meant for the Emperor; he was speaking to Zhou Shiyue and others.
The emperor knows nothing about these things, and now we have to explain them to him one by one. By the time we finish explaining, it will be dawn.
However, if the Crown Prince were to ascend the throne in the future, he could not remain ignorant of everything, so Yin Changxing did not hide these words from the Crown Prince.
He did not answer the emperor's question, but looked at Lu Zhaoling instead.
Yin Changxing's expression was very complicated at this moment. Lu Zhaoling met his gaze, paused for a moment, and subconsciously called out.
"Master?"
Yin Changxing said, "Little Ling'er, did you hear me clearly? They may be attacking soon, and this time their target is the entire capital."
What does the entire capital city represent? Lu Zhaoling should understand.
If it's just an empty city, what's there to protect? What needs to be protected are the people of the entire capital.
Now he worries that the people of the previous dynasty are willing to sacrifice the lives of the entire city's inhabitants in order to wipe out the Zhou dynasty.
Because the Zhou imperial family's fate is still believed in by the people.
The people support the Zhou dynasty. If you want to eliminate them all, the first thing you should do is destroy their faith.
In this way, they no longer need to bother destroying the entire dragon vein, but instead disrupt the nation's destiny.
After the nation's fate is ruined, the entire imperial palace will no longer be protected by the Heavenly Way or the Imperial Star. Therefore, killing the emperor and his ilk will become much easier.
They can use any tricks they have up their sleeve, any ghostly or demonic schemes they may employ.
Yin Changxing felt that those behind the scenes definitely didn't intend to do this at first, because the plan was implemented so suddenly.
Indeed, as the Emperor Emeritus just said, the other side found out that they would be gathering at the Ancestral Temple today, so they decided to implement this plan on short notice.
Although it will be difficult, if the plan succeeds, it will be the least damaging yet most effective killing move for them.
But if they really came for the people of the city, how could the First Xuanmen sit idly by?
Especially since Xiao Ling'er is here.
Just like Xiao Ling'er, who was only a few years old when she first entered the Xuanmen sect, she knew that the road ahead was to death, but she could only walk step by step toward death for the sake of so many people.
Yin Changxing looked at Lu Zhaoling and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Little Ling'er, can you leave the capital now?"
Lu Zhaoling seemed to have guessed something. She looked at Yin Changxing and then at Yin Yunting.
At this moment, Weng Songzhi also said to her, "Little Ling'er, listen to me, go and wander around somewhere else first. Since you are newly married, we don't want you to do anything. Leave things here to us. Come back after we've finished dealing with them. Consider it a honeymoon for you and the Prince."
He doesn't care whether Zhou Shiyue knows what a honeymoon is; he only wants Lu Zhaoling to leave the capital.
Yin Yunting also realized something, but he pursed his lips and remained silent.
Based on his understanding of his family and friends, he knew that his master and uncles were definitely thinking of what was best for his eldest sister, and that their departure was to protect him.
But the eldest sister certainly wouldn't leave at this point. How could she let them stay here to deal with these things while she went on her honeymoon?
So he could only remain silent, unable to persuade his senior sister to stay and face the situation with them, and knowing that trying to convince her to leave would be a waste of breath.
The Emperor had no idea what they were talking about, but when he heard Yin Changxing tell Lu Zhaoling to leave, he immediately shouted in protest.
"Sect Leader Yin, this is precisely the time when we need manpower to help. How can we let Princess Jin leave? Didn't you all keep telling me that Princess Jin's cultivation level was extremely high?"
Since his cultivation level is so high, he should stay and protect him at this time.
Surprisingly, the Crown Prince echoed what Weng Songzhi had said earlier.
He looked at Zhou Shiyue and said gently, "Uncle, although I don't know what a honeymoon is, it sounds nice. Why don't you take Aunt to Jiangnan for a honeymoon? Didn't you say before that Jiangnan is a great place to travel? You said that going there would make you feel that life is peaceful and wonderful, without any worries?"
The emperor glared angrily at the crown prince, feeling that the prince's words were a betrayal of him.
At this moment, the Empress was staring blankly at Lu Zhaoling. When she went to the Prince's Mansion to find Lu Zhaoling earlier, Lu Zhaoling's head was covered with a bridal veil, so she didn't see Lu Zhaoling's appearance. But now, in the morning sunlight, Lu Zhaoling was so dazzlingly beautiful.
She suddenly remembered Cui Liyue, whom she had met years ago.
The memory of meeting Cui Liyue had faded, but now, seeing Lu Zhaoling standing there in a red dress, the Empress suddenly felt that memory become clear again.
She suddenly said, "Your mother once told me the same thing."
She suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention to her face.
Lu Zhaoling also looked at the Empress, somewhat surprised that the Empress would speak to her at this time, and even mention her mother.
"I remember she once said that if you ever encounter danger, I should persuade you to leave and not worry about anything. At the time, I found it incomprehensible why she would say such a thing, when you weren't even born yet."
“Your mother told me that these are the words your father left behind, written in a small booklet. They are all meant for his future daughter.”
