The 25th time he dared to throw the emperor off his horse

  "I wonder which royal family will be in trouble again." Yang Jia saw the crowd's confusion and smiled, "According to convention, this princess should have been given as a concubine to some imperial clan, but now it seems that the princess has gotten off easy instead."

  These words made Wu Song and Lu Da feel a chill, but Gong Sun Yan still insisted on her own point of view, that one cannot judge people by their appearance, maybe this princess will become a virtuous woman after she gets married.

  As he traveled on, the farther away from the battlefield Wu Song felt that the true energy in his body was gradually becoming stagnant and even connecting with the heavenly wound star power became difficult. This is the drawback of the "Tou Tian Bao Zhao Jing", without the nourishment of killing energy, it becomes dull and unclear when activated.

  However, as they gradually approached the Imperial City of Kaifeng, the Star Force became exceptionally lively and poured in on its own, without the need for murderous intent to drive it. It was just that the speed of operation was slow, not as efficient and effective as when fighting, but it had a higher quality and purity.

  The closer they got to Kaifeng, the more intense the Tianxing force became. Wu Song couldn't help but think that if he could turn Kaifeng into a Shura battlefield and combine the Dragon Emperor's aura with the killing intent, it would be both efficient and pure, and his cultivation would surely yield twice the results with half the effort.

  "No wonder the Xuanmen consider the Bing family as a demonic door, I suppose those people from the Bing family haven't done anything less than this."

  After more than a month, they finally arrived outside the city of Kaifeng. General Zhong led the army to camp outside the city and planned to present the captives the next day. That night, Wu Song couldn't sleep, so he walked out of his tent and gazed at the magnificent city. The capital, which was once the most prosperous in history, still shone with unprecedented brilliance in the night. The lanterns from the night market illuminated half of the sky, and the faint sound of singing girls could be heard, melodious and pleasant to the ear.

  It is said that those who have opened the Heavenly Eye can see the purple microcosmic star power hanging in the air above the city, like a long dragon suspended, connected to and born of the Dragon Emperor's energy. If one has opened the Heavenly Ear, they can hear the surging sound emitted by this purple energy, like great waves washing away sand, making people feel carefree and enchanted.

  The dragon pulse here is different from that of Western Xia and Liao countries, which are Jiaolong pulses. It is said that during the Later Tang period, Chen Gong, a great master of Taoism, gathered all the powers of Taoism, Mohism, and militarism at that time, and forcibly relocated the dragon pulse to Kaifeng. The high-ranking person in charge of Nanhai Pudu saw that the power of Taoism was too great, and he could not compete with them, nor did he want to see them continue to grow stronger, so he killed a Jiaolong and divided its pulse into three parts, respectively achieving Dali, Western Xia, and Liao countries, which rivaled the Song Dynasty.

  What a colorful mythological history this is! If one didn't arrive in this era, where could they see and hear it, and personally participate in it?

  Wu Song gazed for a long time, and saw that the city's smoke and fire gradually dissipated. Looking up at the starry sky, he vaguely saw a purple mist falling from the ninth heaven, the starlight of the 108 heavenly stars shining brightly, like precious jewels.

  In the midst of it, he followed the Heavenly Wound Star's pull and roughly sensed the direction of the Dragon Pulse. Just then, four external forces suddenly cut in, causing the Heavenly Wound Star's power to fluctuate wildly, and the sensation of the Dragon Pulse was lost once again.

  These four forces are from the same origin as the Dragon Emperor's aura, tearing apart the Zhou Tian Star Power, stirring up the yuanqi in the world. Wu Song was shocked and surprised, but saw Yang Jiaolong coming out of the camp, laughing: "Brother Wu has never been to the capital, don't know the strangeness of this place, every night at this hour, the five dragon auras will stir up for a while, it's already become a habit. Every time at this moment, the practitioners in the city stop their cultivation and wait for the turbulence to pass before slowly adjusting the dragon and tiger."

  Wu Song hastily asked what was the reason, Yang Jian replied indifferently: "It is said that under the dragon vein, a powerful demon king is suppressed, which is a fierce tiger. One night, it escaped and forcibly collided with the dragon vein, causing the dragon vein to split into five, breaking the Dragon Emperor's aura of the capital. This movement of the original energy is the competition for hegemony among the Five Dragon Emperors, vying for dominance in the world."

  When it first appeared, it really gave the Qi practitioners in the capital a headache. Several masters even went mad and died because of this. Later, everyone formed an unspoken agreement that during this period, they would stop their cultivation and wait for the turmoil to pass. In recent years, the Dragon Emperor's aura in the capital has become weaker and weaker, while the Dragon Emperor's aura in the northern border and near Lin'an has gradually become stronger. It won't be long before the imperial court will definitely move south!

  Wu Song heard the two words "fierce tiger", his heart moved, and he hastily asked Yang Zong about the year. Yang Zong said: "It was indeed the third year of Xining."

  Wu Song was silent for a moment, calculating carefully that the year coincided with his own arrival in this world, and also the time when the fierce tiger diagram suddenly appeared, and the fierce tiger's primordial spirit suddenly awakened.

  If it's really the case that this ferocious tiger's primordial spirit has broken the Great Song Dynasty's dragon vein, then just how strong is this demonic beast? He couldn't help but shiver at the thought and secretly felt relieved: "Fortunately, when it clashed with the dragon vein, both were severely injured..."

  Yang Jia continued: "The north is the territory of Liao State, and the court cannot go north, only south. It seems that after a while, Liao State will surely rise to power!"

  Wu Song shook his head secretly, the northern Da Xing was actually the Jurchen people, who established the Jin Dynasty and destroyed the Liao Dynasty after moving south, then destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. The Song court moved south to Lin'an, known as the Southern Song Dynasty, and the north and south confronted each other for over a hundred years. The Liao Dynasty seemed prosperous but actually reached its end.

  The two of them chatted for a while longer, until the disturbance in the air subsided. Yang Jia then returned to his tent to continue his cultivation, and Wu Song also felt tired and went back to rest.

  He had just left when a giant toad, several times taller than a man and with multicolored spots, suddenly emerged from the ground. The toad crawled out of the earth, opened its mouth and spat out a monk who gasped for air with his mouth wide open, like a fish that had just jumped onto the shore. It took him half a day to recover.

  This monk is actually Lianhuasheng, a disciple of Zhuo Pu's door. Because he suffered greatly at the hands of Wu Song and others, he widely invited his fellow disciples to come and take revenge. He has a qilin bug, which moves the fastest, so he took a step ahead, hiding underground, preparing to launch a sneak attack on Wu Song. However, due to the disturbance of his vital energy, he lost control of his magical powers and almost suffocated to death underground, only to be saved by the giant toad who held him in its mouth.

  Lotus Birth rested for a moment, his internal injuries were quite severe. Helpless, he let the large toad hold him in its mouth and jump away. When Lotus Birth found his fellow disciples, he saw that those few foreign monks' corpses were scattered all over the ground, unexpectedly having died cleanly without knowing it!

  Around those monks, all kinds of insect corpses were scattered everywhere, including double-winged green snakes, five-colored toads, black scorpions, beautiful bees, and giant lizards, which were also broken into pieces. There were large pits formed by heavy blows everywhere, and toxic fog filled the air, obviously after a fierce battle.

  Originally, these monks saw the abundant yuanqi near Kaifeng and took the opportunity to cultivate, but unexpectedly, the yuanqi was turbulent, causing them to go mad and enter a state of frenzy. The higher their cultivation, the more severe the damage, and the monk with the highest cultivation was killed by entering madness, resulting in the loss of control of the Gu God inside his body, which burst out and went on a killing spree.

  Lotus was born in the heart of Da Lu, cried for half a day, and burned all the fellow apprentices with one fire. She said with hatred: "This account will be counted on the heads of those three people!" Carrying the ashes of the fellow apprentices, she rushed to the Western Regions' Daxueshan Mountain, this time preparing to invite several senior brothers from the sect who had the highest cultivation to come down the mountain.

  On the second day, Zong Shidao led the elite soldiers into the city to present the captives. The Emperor was at Xuan De Gate, leading all civil and military officials to personally welcome them, riding high-headed horses with great fanfare to show his imperial authority. Zong Shidao was overjoyed, his mind full of loyalty to the emperor and love for the country, repaying the court's kindness. He dismounted and knelt before Zhao Guo's family, recounting the battles of the past year and a half, then ordered A Mai Niang and others to come forward and ask for punishment.

  The officials sang praises of the emperor's virtues, and the whole court was filled with flattering words. Emperor Zhezong was overjoyed and said: "Let those who have made contributions in the army come forward to receive their rewards!"

  Zong Shidao didn't think much and let the soldiers move forward, Wu Song and others also followed inside. Zong Shidao inadvertently glanced at him, his head spinning: "Bad things have happened!" Turning back to look, only to see Emperor Dezong and all the civil and military officials of the court fell off their horses, a few people were even trampled by the frightened horses until they vomited blood.

  Yang Jia burst into the horse team and picked up Emperor Zhezong, patted his chest, and suddenly wailed: "Your Majesty... has passed away!"
