Chapter 305 Changes at the Banquet

Zhao Mu looked around and did not find any unusual expressions on the faces of the cultivators around him. Everyone seemed to be unaware of it.

This Fuxian formation was quite secretive. If Jin Fei had not reminded him, Zhao Mu would not have been able to detect any abnormality.

He quickly calculated in his mind and vaguely sensed a possibility.

The Fuxian formation came from the fairyland, not the formation of the Xianwu Continent.

There must be a mastermind behind the scenes.

I just don't know what the position of the Xuanji Empress is, and whether she knows about it.

If the Xuanji Empress also doesn't know about the Fuxian formation, it means that someone wants to use her birthday celebration to make trouble.

If she is an insider, or even the mastermind behind the scenes, then things will be a bit troublesome.

She is the only Tianren Realm powerhouse in Shenghan City, and the Fuxian formation blocks the escape route. If she wants to make trouble, it will definitely be a disaster.

"Can you crack this Fuxian formation?"

"It's difficult. I can only try my best. Don't have too much hope, son-in-law." Jin Fei said solemnly.

"You go alone and check the situation."

"But the safety of my son-in-law..."

"I am not the only one trapped. There are so many powerful people who have passed the tribulation. They will hold up the sky first. I should be fine for the time being." Zhao Mu said.

Jin Fei also understood the urgency of the situation, so she left without delay.

Soon, it was time to celebrate the birthday.

Zhao Mu was the first to walk up to the Temple of Heaven and came to the Xuanji Empress.

What a beautiful imperial daughter!

Even though Zhao Mu had been tested by various beauties, he had to admit that this was the first time he had seen a woman like the Xuanji Empress.

With the blessing of the emperor's temperament who was in a high position and held the power of the world, it was difficult for ordinary women to compare with her.

That kind of graceful and gorgeous temperament could not be cultivated casually.

If such a woman was conquered, it would be a good thing.

But what she was plotting in her heart now might be the lives and property of 100,000 cultivators present.

A terrible woman.

Zhao Mu had no other thoughts at all, and he dared not have any.

"Zhao Mu of Shengyuan Demon Sect, congratulates Empress Xuanji on her 5,000th birthday. I specially present a tenth-grade anti-aging pill to wish the empress a long life and eternal beauty!"

"You are thoughtful."

Empress Xuanji showed a slight smile between her eyebrows, and seemed to like this gift very much.

There is no woman who doesn't love beauty. Ordinary anti-aging pills are useless to her, but this tenth-grade anti-aging pill is an extremely rare treasure, and its effect is definitely not comparable to ordinary anti-aging pills.

"As long as the empress likes it." Zhao Mu smiled slightly, and while sending the pill forward, he whispered: "The empress really wants to ignore the billions of lives in Shenghan City. You could have become an emperor for all ages, so why do you have to let yourself bear the infamy."

The voice was very low, and only Empress Xuanji could hear it.

She frowned slightly and looked straight at Zhao Mu.

At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Zhao Mu was worried that Empress Xuanji would suddenly kill him.

After the test just now, Zhao Mu was 100% sure that the Xuanji Empress knew the existence of the Fuxian Formation.

This is not a good thing.

Shenghan City is afraid that a huge change will happen.

"The Wanchao Empire will also end. We cultivators are only planning for immortality. What do you know?"

The pressure of the Xuanji Empress surged towards Zhao Mu like a tide. The power of the heavenly man was so terrifying that it instantly blocked Zhao Mu's actions and blocked his consciousness. It not only restricted Zhao Mu's personal freedom, but also prevented him from communicating with the outside world.

Zhao Mu thought it was not good. He thought that the Xuanji Empress was going to attack him.

His body was like a puppet. He walked step by step behind the Empress, kept a posture and stood firm, and then there was no movement.

I didn't feel the killing intention!

Zhao Mu was a little surprised.

I thought that the Xuanji Empress was going to kill people to silence them.

Is it because there are too many people and it is difficult to attack?

The birthday celebration continued, and then the elders of the four holy places came to offer gifts, and various wealthy families and famous independent cultivators followed. On the surface, it was peaceful, but only Zhao Mu knew that a catastrophe was about to come.

As the celebration came to an end, Empress Xuanji invited all guests to enter the palace for a banquet. Zhao Mu was also controlled like a machine to follow the crowd. People's attention was on Empress Xuanji, and they did not notice Zhao Mu's abnormality. Only Xiang Ningbing felt that something was wrong with the master beside her, but in this occasion she did not dare to breathe at all, and could only suppress her suspicion in her heart.

As night fell, a grand banquet had begun. Various powerful people toasted each other and talked about everything. Empress Xuanji was the only protagonist at the banquet, and she was the unique focus wherever she went.

The powerful celestial beings rarely show their faces. If it weren't for an opportunity like today, many people would not be able to see the peerless demeanor of the supreme celestial being. Even the elders of the major holy places attached great importance to this opportunity. They either flattered the Xuanji Empress or proposed strengthening cooperation with the Wuxiang Kingdom and forming marriage alliances.

The young male and female cultivators present were even more active, trying their best to show themselves, wanting to leave a slight impression in the eyes of the powerful people. If they were noticed by a big shot, they would most likely rise to prominence.

Only Zhao Mu exuded an aura of "no strangers allowed". He drank alone like a machine. The cultivators who came to make friends with him did not dare to disturb him when they saw this situation.

Zhao Mu was anxious, but he had no solution.

The Xuanji Empress's confinement method was really abnormal. He tried every possible method, even using the immortal weapon, but he still couldn't break free, and even a trace of information couldn't be spread to the outside world.

In terms of pure combat power, the human race supreme may not be as good as the demon race supreme.

But in terms of the attainments of magical powers, the human race supreme must definitely leave the demon race supreme eight streets behind.

"Why hasn't Jin Fei come back yet? Did she encounter any difficulties?"

Zhao Mu was worried.

Suddenly, something strange happened.

At the banquet, many guests fell down without warning and fell into a coma.

At first, there were only one or two, and it didn't cause any ideas, but as more and more monks fell, the situation began to become a little chaotic.

The elders of each faction also noticed something was wrong and called back their disciples.

"The wine is poisonous!"

I don't know who shouted, and the atmosphere in the whole venue froze instantly. People threw down their wine glasses and looked around in doubt.

Everyone's eyes finally focused on the Xuanji Empress.

At the Empress' birthday banquet, poisoned wine happened to harm people. As the host, Empress Xuanji has an unshirkable responsibility.

But most people have not taken it seriously so far.

After all, this is the palace of Wuxiang State. With a celestial being like Empress Xuanji in charge, even if some villains take the opportunity to cause trouble, how can they stir up much trouble under the Empress' nose?

At this time, a female official walked up to Empress Xuanji and whispered something in her ear.

The empress stood up and said, "Don't panic, everyone. We just found out that a demon spy took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the palace and put demon poison in the wine and food. Fortunately, the demon spy has been captured. I have ordered the pharmacist of the Imperial Hospital to bring the antidote. However, in order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, the palace has been sealed off and no demon spy will be let go. Everyone, please be patient and wait."

"It turned out that the demons were causing chaos. How abominable."

"With the empress's words, we are all relieved."

"Dare to cause chaos under the nose of the Supreme Heaven and Man, these demons are really bold!"
