Chapter 373 Troubled Times
Fang Yue's expression remained unchanged. He walked out of the secret library slowly. Facing the question of the imperial guards, he responded in a deep voice: "I am Yue below. I accidentally entered this place without any malicious intent."
The imperial guards frowned slightly. He had never heard of this name, but he could feel a good aura from Fang Yue and knew that this person was extraordinary.
He waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to be alert, and then stared at Fang Yue and said: "You said you accidentally entered this place. I think you are just talking nonsense. Someone, take him down!"
At the command of the imperial guards, hundreds of imperial guards immediately responded. They quickly surrounded Fang Yue with spears in their hands.
These soldiers were all experienced elites, and they were also martial arts masters. Their movements were swift and orderly, and they were obviously well-trained.
Seeing this, Fang Yue was alert in his heart, but his face was still calm.
He knew that any panic at this moment might put him in a more disadvantageous situation.
So he took a deep breath, secretly adjusted his internal breath, and prepared to deal with the upcoming conflict.
Just when the soldiers were about to touch Fang Yue, he suddenly moved and dodged the soldiers' siege at an almost incredible speed.
At the same time, he waved his hand lightly, and hundreds of soldiers felt a huge force coming, and they stepped back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the general of the imperial army. He didn't expect Fang Yue to have such skills.
He waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to attack again.
This time, the soldiers were more cautious. They dispersed and tried to besiege Fang Yue from multiple directions.
However, Fang Yue seemed to have seen through their intentions.
His figure was erratic, and he could cleverly avoid the soldiers' attacks every time.
At the same time, he would counterattack from time to time, making the soldiers exhausted.
The general of the imperial army became more and more anxious when he saw that the soldiers could not attack for a long time.
He realized that Fang Yue's strength was far beyond his expectations, and the ordinary siege tactics would not work at all.
So, he decided to take action himself and meet this mysterious master.
The general drew out the long sword from his waist, and joined the battle in a flash.
His sword skills were sharp and swift, and each sword was aimed at Fang Yue's vital points.
However, Fang Yue seemed to have seen through his attack and could easily dodge it every time.
After several rounds, the general of the imperial army was already exhausted, but Fang Yue was still calm and composed.
The general was secretly amazed that this man's strength was so unfathomable.
At this moment, Fang Yue suddenly counterattacked. He hit the general's chest with a palm, and the general felt a huge force coming, and his chest was hit like a heavy hammer. The whole person flew backwards in an instant and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, the soldiers exclaimed in surprise.
They didn't expect that even their general was not Fang Yue's opponent.
For a time, morale plummeted, and no one dared to challenge Fang Yue.
But Fang Yue did not take the opportunity to escape.
He walked up to the general, held out his hand, and said, "General, thank you. I have no ill intentions, I just strayed into this place by mistake. I hope you can be lenient."
The general struggled to stand up, staring at Fang Yue with wide eyes, his heart full of shock.
He knew that he was no match for Fang Yue at all. If the other party really intended to be an enemy, he would probably have lost his life long ago.
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said, "You... who are you? Why do you have such profound martial arts?"
Fang Yue smiled slightly and said, "I am just an unknown person in the world. As for my martial arts... hehe, I just got some lucky encounters."
After listening to Fang Yue's words, the general still had doubts in his heart, but he also knew that he could not keep the other party.
He waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to retreat.
"Okay... since you have no intention of being an enemy of us, please do as you please."
The general said, "But remember, this is the forbidden area of the Great Wei Palace, don't come here again in the future."
"Thank you, General." Fang Yue bowed his hands to thank him, then turned and left.
~~~~~~~
After Fang Yue left, deep in the palace, the Emperor of Wei frowned.
Because the Soul Refining Formation was interrupted by King Wucheng, he did not complete his practice.
Although his injuries were partially recovered, they were not completely recovered. He knew that he needed more power and more "sacrifices" to perfect the Soul Refining Formation to heal his injuries and enhance his cultivation.
"Come here!" The Emperor of Wei shouted in a deep voice.
A eunuch trotted into the hall, knelt on the ground, and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, what do you want?"
"Pass the order down, strengthen the vigilance of the palace, and continue to activate the Soul Refining Formation." The Emperor of Wei said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch responded, and then quickly retreated to convey the order.
The Emperor of Wei stood up, his eyes gloomy.
He knew that the Soul Refining Formation was the key to his recovery and enhancement of his cultivation. He must ensure the smooth operation of the formation and not allow any more interruptions.
~~~~~~~
At the same time, Fang Yue was about to leave the palace.
Fang Yue stopped and looked back, only to see a blazing light breaking through the night sky from deep in the palace, as if it was about to tear the sky apart.
The light contained powerful energy, and even at such a long distance, he could feel the shock of that power.
"Is this... the Soul Refining Formation? The Emperor of Wei actually has the energy to activate the Soul Refining Formation, and he even set up the Soul Refining Formation in this palace?" Fang Yue's eyes flashed with surprise.
Fang Yue stared at the light rising into the sky, filled with surprise.
He didn't expect that the Emperor of Wei actually had a God Refining Formation inside the palace and had the ability to activate it.
This God Refining Formation is an extremely evil and powerful formation that uses living beings as sacrifices and swallows their life essence to enhance their cultivation and heal their injuries.
Now that the God Refining Formation is activated, it means that more innocent lives will be sacrificed.
The power of the God Refining Formation gradually increased, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorting and deforming.
Fang Yue felt a strong sense of oppression, as if there was an invisible force squeezing his body.
"Huh, I was ready to leave, but it seems I can't leave now!"
Fang Yue took a deep breath and looked firmly in the direction of the God Refining Formation.
He turned around and walked towards the direction of the God Refining Formation, determined to break this evil formation. As he approached, the light of the God Refining Formation became more intense, as if warning this uninvited guest.
Fang Yue circulated his vitality, protected his heart, and at the same time gathered all his strength, preparing to launch a fierce attack on the God Refining Formation.
He flashed and instantly arrived at the Forbidden Palace deep inside the palace.
This is the core of the God Refining Formation!
Fang Yue came to the Forbidden Palace and stared firmly at the God Refining Formation in front of him. His energy surged throughout his body, preparing to send out a thunderous strike to break this evil formation.
However, just when he was about to take action, a figure suddenly appeared from the darkness and stopped in front of him.
The man was dressed in brocade clothes and had a majestic face. He was the King of Han of the Wei Dynasty.
"Fang Yue, do you want to destroy the God Refining Formation?" King Han asked in a deep voice, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Fang Yue frowned slightly, he did not expect the King of Han to appear at this time.
However, he did not waver in his determination. He just looked at King Han calmly and said: "Your Highness, King Han, this God Refining Formation sacrifices human beings and swallows the essence of life. It is too cruel. I must break it and save those innocent people." life."
When the King of Han heard this, he sneered and said, "Fang Yue, who do you think you are? This Divine Refining Formation was set up by my imperial nephew to enhance his cultivation and heal his injuries. How dare you come and destroy it? You are so audacious!"
"Different ways of doing things don't work together!"
Fang Yue's eyes were firm and showed no intention of flinching, "Your Highness, King of Han, even if this is the emperor's formation, it is definitely not the right way to enhance one's cultivation at the expense of innocent lives. I cannot stand by and watch such a tragedy happen. "
The King of Han's face darkened, obviously angered by Fang Yue's firm attitude.
"Fang Yue, you are making an enemy of the Wei royal family! Do you know the consequences of this?"
"I don't want to be an enemy of the royal family, but this God Refining Formation is really against the harmony of heaven. If the royal family can abandon this formation, I will naturally not take action again." Fang Yue responded calmly.
"Hmph, you think you can change the royal family's decision on your own? How naive!"
King Han said with a sneer, and at the same time a powerful aura surged from his body, as if to overwhelm Fang Yue.
Fang Yue felt the pressure from King Han, but he did not flinch, but instead inspired a stronger fighting spirit.
He circulated his energy and prepared to fight the King of Han.
"Since His Highness the King of Han insists so much, then I am offended!" Fang Yue said, moving and attacking the King of Han.
The two of them fought together instantly. King Han's swordsmanship was sharp and fast, while Fang Yue used his body skills and palm power to compete.
For a time, the two were fighting inextricably.
However, Fang Yue knew in his heart that he could not stay here for long. He must break the God Refining Formation as soon as possible to prevent more innocent sacrifices. Therefore, while fighting against the King of Han, he kept looking for opportunities, trying to get out of the battle and launch a fatal blow to the God Refining Formation.
The King of Han also noticed Fang Yue's intentions, and his offensive became more fierce, trying to pin Fang Yue firmly. But Fang Yue was so agile that he was able to avoid King Han's attacks at critical moments every time.
Finally, after a fierce confrontation, Fang Yue found a breakthrough. He dodged to avoid King Han's fatal sword, and then took advantage of the momentum to rush towards the God Refining Formation.
"No!" King Han exclaimed and hurriedly chased after him.
But Fang Yue had already arrived in front of the God Refining Formation. He took a deep breath, circulated his energy, and punched the core of the God Refining Formation.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the light of the God Refining Formation dimmed instantly, and the formation began to collapse.
When the King of Han arrived, it was already too late.
He looked at the gradually dissipating God Refining Formation, with a trace of anger and helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Fang Yue stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the God Refining Formation collapse completely.
He knew that although he had offended the Wei royal family this time, he at least saved many innocent lives.
"Fang Yue, you are so brave!" King Han shouted angrily and attacked Fang Yue.
But Fang Yue had already prepared his retreat. He dodged and escaped King Han's attack, and then quickly fled out of the palace.
He knew that his current strength was not enough to be an enemy of the entire Wei royal family, so he must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Although the King of Han was furious, he also knew that he could not catch up with him, so he could only watch Fang Yue disappear into the night.
But just after Fang Yue's figure completely disappeared, the angry look on King Han's face suddenly disappeared.
"Haha, nephew, it's not that the emperor is not trying his best, it's that your destiny has ended here!"
King Han muttered to himself, turned around and walked in the other direction, as if everything just now had nothing to do with him.
At the same time, in the forbidden palace next to it.
The Emperor of Wei, who was in the center of the formation, suddenly felt a violent vibration, and then, the God Refining Formation he had arranged in the palace began to backfire.
The evil formation that was originally used to devour the essence of living beings to enhance one's own cultivation was now like an out-of-control beast, reversing the devouring power on the emperor himself.
The Emperor of Wei felt a strong suction force coming from the God Refining Formation, as if it was going to suck away his soul.
He tried in horror to break away from the suction force, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the control of the God Refining Formation.
His body began to gradually lose strength, and his life force was rapidly passing away.
"No! This is impossible! I am the emperor, how could I be affected by the formation?!"
The Emperor of Wei was filled with fear and unwillingness. He couldn't believe that he would be harmed by the formation he arranged.
However, the facts are before our eyes. The backlash of the God Refining Formation is getting stronger and stronger, and the vitality of the Emperor Wei is also constantly draining away.
His face became paler and his body began to tremble.
At this moment, a eunuch hurried over and saw the condition of the Emperor of Wei. He shouted in horror: "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you?! Someone, come quickly, something happened to your Majesty!"
However, at this moment, the Emperor of Wei could no longer respond to his call.
His consciousness began to blur, and everything in front of him became blurry.
He felt that his life was passing away little by little, and there was nothing he could do.
In the end, under the backlash of the God Refining Formation, the Emperor of Wei completely lost consciousness.
His body fell to the ground limply, and there was no further reaction.
When the eunuch saw this, he screamed in horror and ran out to call for help.
~~~~~~~~~
The next day, news that shocked the world spread.
The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty died in the forbidden palace due to the backlash of the Divine Refining Formation!
As soon as this news came out, the entire Wei Dynasty was shocked.
No one in the government or the public could have imagined that the emperor in his prime would suddenly pass away.
And those who knew the inner workings of the God Refining Formation were even more terrified. They knew the power of this evil formation, but they never imagined that it would backfire on its owner.
There was mourning in the palace.
All the ministers looked at each other, at a loss.
The death of the Emperor of Wei means that the power structure of the dynasty will undergo great changes. All forces are secretly making arrangements to try to occupy a favorable position in this coming storm.
At this moment, Fang Yue was far away from the palace, and he was regulating his breath in a remote mountain forest.
Although he broke the God Refining Formation, he also spent a lot of energy and needed time to recover.
"He is really dead. It seems that the world of Wei is really going to be in chaos!" (End of Chapter)
