Chapter 274: The Emperor Passes Away, Eighteen Land Gods

After entering the city, Fang Wang practiced every day, while Hong Xian'er could not sit still and went out to gather intelligence every day.

One month later.

One morning.

Fang Wang was still meditating and absorbing qi, floating in the air in the lobby, when a shout suddenly came from the window:

"God does not bless my great decree! His Majesty has passed away!"

Fang Wang opened his eyes immediately after hearing it.

Hong Xian'er, who was meditating on the bed, disappeared into the house out of thin air. She flashed to the busy street and stopped a commoner who was shouting on the street.

"Really?"

Hong Xian'er stared at the commoner and asked in a deep voice.

The commoner was amazed by Hong Xian'er's beauty, but as soon as he met her eyes, his heart beat wildly and an unspeakable panic enveloped his heart.

He quickly replied: "It's true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has issued an edict to announce it to the world!"

Hong Xian'er stood still, with her hands clenched into fists in her sleeves.

Not only her, but all the monks passing by stopped, and even the shop owners on both sides of the street were stunned. The whole street soon fell silent.

After a few breaths, a howling sound broke the silence.

Fang Wang stood by the window and looked. It was not Hong Xian'er who was crying, but a shop owner. Her crying triggered more crying, and even men were jealous.

"How is it possible! Your Majesty is invincible in the world, how could he die?"

"Did he exhaust his life to help Fang Wang?"

"I think it might be those saints who did it, damn..."

"He is His Majesty Dong Gonghuang, the most powerful person in the world who has the greatest hope of becoming an emperor, how could he die before becoming an emperor..."

"Impossible, I don't believe it, I'm going to the Imperial City now!"

The street was in a noisy and clamorous mood.

Fang Wang appeared out of thin air beside Hong Xian'er, grabbed her shoulder, and took her back to the inn.

Hong Xian'er didn't cry, but her eyes were bloodshot, and she tried to control her emotions.

She looked at Fang Wang and said, "Fang Wang, I'm going back to see my father for the last time. You don't have to follow me. I'll come find you later."

After that, she disappeared directly in the inn.

Xiao Zi flew to Fang Wang's side and said nervously, "There is no movement at all. The methods of the immortal gods are still so terrible. Young master, don't mess around. You are indeed very powerful now, but you have not reached the level of competing with the immortal gods in the upper realm. If your talent appears under the eyes of the immortal gods, they will definitely be afraid of you."

Fang Wang looked out the window. His heart was far from being as calm as it seemed on the surface.

In this month, he did not feel the strong fighting atmosphere, which means that Dong Gonghuang was killed by the immortal gods without anyone knowing.

If it was a world-shaking battle, he could still accept it, at least he could get a glimpse of how powerful the immortal gods are.

But now...

Fang Wang is more afraid of the immortal gods in the upper realm.

However, he thought of the Emperor Dong's instructions, and could only sigh and said, "Let's go to the Imperial City."

The Wuxiangwuxingtian Zhoutian Gong and Jiuyou Zizai Shu are his trump cards. Zhou Xue said that if you master the Wuxiangwuxingtian Zhoutian Gong, you can avoid the prying of immortals and gods. Even if you are discovered, you can just escape to the underworld.

According to his current understanding, the underworld should be independent of the human world and the upper world, otherwise there would not be so many great saints and emperors hiding in it.

Xiao Zi wailed when she heard Fang Wang's decision, but she did not continue to persuade him and followed Fang Wang obediently.

Fang Wang followed Hong Xian'er's breath, and Hong Xian'er flew very fast and returned to the Imperial Palace in less than half a cup of tea.

Fang Wang, who followed closely, found a place to stay in the Imperial City.

The Imperial City did not suffer any damage, but most of the shops and inns in the city were closed, and the monks and people on the street were burning paper and crying, and the atmosphere of grief enveloped the Imperial City.

Fang Wang stood in front of the window sill and looked at the Imperial Palace.

Dong Gonghuang's personal attendant Zhuifeng appeared beside Fang Wang, presented a piece of jade with both hands, and said: "This is the words that His Majesty left for you."

Fang Wang took the jade and probed his spiritual sense into it.

He quickly withdrew his spiritual sense and crushed the jade.

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise." Fang Wang said expressionlessly.

Zhuifeng nodded and was about to leave. Fang Wang suddenly glanced at him and asked: "Did Your Majesty commit suicide or die an unnatural death?"

The jade was just Dong Gonghuang's instructions to him before his death. He learned that when he was shaping the Nine-Life Treasure Spirit, Dong Gonghuang used the destiny of the Great Oracle Dynasty to cover up the secret of heaven, which was a great help to him.

This move made the world unaware that he had shaped the Nine-Life Treasure Spirit, and also made the immortals in the sky not notice his existence.

Such a favor made Fang Wang more hostile to the immortals in the upper world.

Zhuifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know either. I saw him the night before His Majesty passed away. The next morning, the news of His Majesty's death spread. I went to see him. His Majesty's vitality was drained away, as if..."

"As if what?"

"As if he had been dead for thousands of years, and his body had dried up..."

Speaking of this, Zhuifeng's face showed fear.

He knew too well how powerful Dong Gonghuang was, and because of this, he was even more afraid of Shangcang.

Such a powerful Dong Gong Huang died so miserably, and without any movement.

Fang Wang was silent.

Zhui Feng followed and bowed, and left quietly.

Fang Wang continued to stand in front of the window sill, looking at the horizon, wondering what he was thinking.

At this time, the jade bracelet on his hand sent a spiritual fluctuation, he immediately turned around and walked into the house, and then probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade bracelet.

In the illusion of Fang Mansion.

Fang Wang saw Zhou Xue again. After not seeing her for many years, Zhou Xue's majestic aura became stronger, and even her clothes became more domineering. A black-patterned tight-fitting red robe not only highlighted her figure, but also gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Zhou Xue also felt Fang Wang's change. She touched her chin and said in amazement: "This feeling is very similar to that of the genius of the Nine-Life Treasure Spirit. There is a kind of spirituality that is hard to explain."

Fang Wang asked: "Who is the genius of the Nine-Life Treasure Spirit? Why have you always refused to tell his name?"

Zhou Xue smiled and said: "Because I don't know his previous name. I only know that he is not much different from me in age, at most a few dozen years apart, and we are of the same generation. He calls himself the Emperor Saint, and he is both the Great Emperor and the Great Saint. Although he did not achieve the Great Emperor and the Great Saint before ascending, he did it after ascending. He is both the Great Saint and the Great Emperor. He is still a brilliant and outstanding genius in the upper realm."

"And I don't want to interfere with his growth for the time being."

Fang Wang frowned.

Zhou Xue then said, "The calamity of Dong Gong Huang came early. A few days ago, I felt the breath of the upper world. Today you are closer to this residual breath. I advise you not to get close to Dong Gong Huang's body in the next year."

Fang Wang looked at her and asked, "Can you sense the breath of the upper world?"

Zhou Xue nodded and snorted, "Don't forget, I am the Immortal Lord in the upper world. Although the Immortal Lord is not a powerful person who can cover the sky with one hand, the area I dominate is far beyond your imagination."

Fang Wang described the death of Dong Gong Huang and asked how the immortal gods in the upper world did it.

Zhou Xue was silent for a moment and said, "It should be a kind of luck technique, but if the immortal gods did not come down to the world, it would be difficult to kill Dong Gong Huang. It is estimated that Dong Gong Huang did not resist, so he paralyzed the immortal gods in the upper world and made them think that the human world is still afraid of them."

Fang Wang narrowed his eyes and asked, "According to what you said, the information gap between the human world and the upper world is very large?"

Information gap?

Zhou Xue thought this word was a bit novel. She pondered and answered, "That's natural. It's difficult for the upper world to directly overlook the human world. Only those great powers who are not convenient to come down to the human world will send immortals to the human world when they notice something abnormal in the human world. The distance between the human world and the upper world is far beyond your imagination. Speaking of it, this is thanks to the saint in the history of the human world. It was his luck that separated the human world from the upper world, leaving a glimmer of hope for the human world."

Zhou Xue looked at him suspiciously and looked at him carefully.

Fang Wang asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"I always feel that your memory is not very good. We have experienced such a conversation before."

Zhou Xue stared at Fang Wang and said calmly.

Fang Wang realized that something was wrong, explained a few words casually, and then said goodbye to Zhou Xue.

Before leaving, Zhou Xue warned: "The catastrophe of the Great Oracle Dynasty will come soon. You should do what you can. I have asked Emperor Hongxuan to support you."

Fang Wang frowned and said: "Why let him come? Do you still expect him to save me?"

Zhou Xue explained: "After all, he is the Great Emperor. He can guide the next emperor of the Great Oracle Dynasty to turn the situation around, which will also allow you to get out earlier."

Fang Wang thought about it and nodded in agreement.

He really knows nothing about governing a country and the way of the emperor.

…

The news of the death of Emperor Dong spread quickly, causing the entire Human Emperor Continent to fall into grief. In less than half a month, the Great Oracle Dynasty became nervous.

The prince was supposed to ascend the throne, but was blocked by several princes and ministers. For a time, the situation in the Imperial City changed drastically, and a large number of cultivators entered and left the Imperial City every day.

Fang Wang did not go to the funeral of Emperor Dong, but he stayed in the Imperial City and met Hong Xian'er during that time.

Hong Xian'er was very grateful that Fang Wang could come to the Imperial City, because she knew that she was willful and she shouldn't have come back so early.

Another month passed.

Hong Xian'er came to the inn where Fang Wang was staying and found him, saying, "Help me with something."

Fang Wang looked at her and asked, "What is it?"

"My fourth brother is leading his army to the Imperial City. Now the throne is not decided because he is too powerful. When my father was alive, he clearly promised to assist my eldest brother, but he changed his mind. Please help me stop him and don't let him enter the city. It would be best if he could bow his head." Hong Xian'er said seriously.

She then took out a golden token with the word "Dong" engraved on it and dragon patterns inlaid on the edge.

"This is my father's token. It was originally left to me. Now I give it to you. You can pretend that my father's will was to suppress them. In addition to the army, my fourth brother also has the support of Taiqing Xuanjiao. It is said that two of the eighteen land immortals are following him. The weakest of the eighteen land immortals is also in the Sky-stepping Realm. This is why I asked you to take action. If my eldest brother takes action, the Great Oracle Dynasty will definitely fall into civil strife. The old monsters of the Great Oracle Dynasty are wavering, so they are not ready to take action. I really don't know what kind of magic potion my fourth brother has fed them. They don't even listen to the will of my father."

After Hong Xian'er finished speaking, she was a little nervous, afraid that Fang Wang would have a hard time.

Fang Wang put the imperial order into the dragon jade ring and said softly: "I will let the world know that although the Great Oracle Dynasty is no longer in charge of Dong Gonghuang, it has ushered in the protection of the Heavenly Dao."

"Eighteen land immortals? Then let them see the true appearance of immortals!"
