Chapter 295: Observatory, Omen of National Ruin!

ster of Yu Jian Peak in Qingfeng Wuyuan established himself by chance getting a sword manual inside this ancient tomb of life and death!That set of sword manuals, passed down to the present day, Qin L...Yun Hao's sword strike was decisive and swift. Before the eyes of Chu Kong, the foremost array master of the Qingfeng Imperial Dynasty, he beheaded the person Chu Kong had desperately tried to protect!

A high-grade Xuan rank array master, died!

This is also the first Xuanjie upper-rank formation master of the Qingfeng Dynasty to die in decades!

Wang Zhongyu's head rolled on the ground.

Everything in this world seems to be about to freeze completely.

Zhu Kong's anger could no longer be suppressed. A ferocious expression appeared on his face,

Murderous intent gleamed in their eyes!

Chu Xinyue hurriedly stepped forward and once again stood beside Yun Hao.

Chu Kong's voice was extremely gloomy, and he said: "Good, good. Such an arrogant and ignorant fellow."

"You're the first one who dared to kill me in front of the Chu Mansion and break the Chu Family formation master!"

Every word he uttered seemed to release a wave of terrifying energy, leaving everyone present feeling as if they were enveloped by the shadow of death.

Good loser!

Yun Hao coldly said, "The esteemed Chu residence, wouldn't you lose with grace"

Chu Kong's fist clenched tightly, his forehead veins throbbing, wishing to immediately crush Yun Hao into dust and pieces!

Chu Xinyue: “Master Chu, if there’s nothing else, we’ll take our leave!”

"Do you want to leave" Chu Kong shouted, "Aren't you here to challenge all the array masters of the Chu Residence Wang Zhongyu lost, but that doesn't mean the Chu Residence has lost!"

Yun Hao showed no fear and said, "If you want to make a move, I'm willing to fight you!"

Though Chu Kong wished he could kill Yun Hao with his own hands, he was after all the number one expert in formation arts. To even lose to an 18-year-old boy would be a disgrace to his reputation.

So what if he won As the foremost array master of the Qingfeng Dynasty, it's only natural for him to defeat a young man of eighteen. Instead, he would be mocked for bullying someone younger and weaker.

"The number of formation masters cultivated by the Chu Family is countless, and the top ones are all over the imperial court. This old man will have them come back to compete with you. For the convenience of the competition, just stay at the Chu Residence!" Chu Kong said.

He's trying to forcibly detain Yun Hao!

Chu Xinyue: "Master Chu, if you still wish to continue the competition, wait for everyone to arrive. Yun Hao will come naturally."

Chu Kong's expression was cold and stern:

"Are you speaking to me as an individual, or as a representative of the royal family"

Chu Xinyue: “I only speak for myself.”

"You have no right to speak here. If the little princess continues to chatter, don't blame me for being rude!" Chu Kong roared, raising his hand and summoning a golden whip from thin air.

"In my hands lies this golden whip, a gift from the former emperor. I can use it to strike down even royalty and high officials, as well as corrupt and wicked bureaucrats!"

Yun Hao gave Chu Xin Yue a look, signaling her not to say more. He turned his gaze to the old man Chu Kong, letting out a cold snort and saying, "If I don't want to stay at Chu Mansion, what can you do about it"

Chu Kong's golden whip snapped through the air, causing a deafening boom as it shattered the air. He roared, "Whether you want to stay or not is irrelevant! You have no say in this matter. Since I, an elder, choose for you to remain, then you must!"

As they spoke, it was as if an endless stream of spiritual patterns gathered around Chu Kong. A terrifying aura erupted.

But just then.

A peaceful voice entered the room.

"Master Chu, though you haven't left your home for ten years, today I finally have the chance to see you again. Master Chu, your style is as impressive as ever."

A figure with white hair and beard, bearing the appearance of an immortal, flew over.

"Master Yuan..."

Chu Xin's face lit up with joy, and she immediately ran to Yuan Chunqing's side.

Yuan Chunqing looked at Chu Xin Yue and said, "The remnants of the Demon Cult who carried out the assassination against royal children three days ago are still at large. The little princess should not be going outside, it's best to go back first."

"Then... then what about Yun Hao..." Chu Xin Yue asked.

Yuan Chunqing calmly said: "Your Majesty has asked me to thoroughly investigate the events three days ago. Yuan has found that the attack on Young Master Yun is closely related to the assassination of the imperial prince. Coincidentally, Young Master Yun has returned. Yuan still needs to ask Young Master Yun to go to Tianshiyuan for some routine questioning."

Chu Kong coldly shouted, "Yuan Chunqing, are you taking Yunhao away"

"Indeed, Your Majesty expedited the case three days ago, and Yuan dared not delay."

"If I absolutely have to keep him!"

Yuan Chunqing smiled faintly and said, "I remember that Master Chu, although wielding a golden whip, "

"While it is permitted to arrest members of the imperial family, Grandmaster Chu does not have the authority to interfere with any cases."

Zhu Kong gritted his teeth and roared, "Yuan Chunqing, you better think this through before you do anything!"

Yuan Chunqing: “Thank you, Master Zhu, for reminding me. If there's nothing else, I shall take Yunhao to the Celestial Masters’ Academy first.”

And with that, he was done.

Yuan Chunqing looked at Yun Hao and said, "Young Master Yun, I have already sent someone to Qingfeng Martial Academy to notify Dean Qin and Instructor Han. They will also be coming to Tianshi Academy later, so please rest assured and follow me, Young Master Yun."

Chuxin Yue was quick-witted and immediately replied, “Father Emperor and my elder brother, the Crown Prince, are both very concerned about the progress of the case. I should return to the palace now to tell them!”

"Just so happens, three days ago, I also found some clues on the case. With the help of Tanshiyuan's methods, I think we can catch all the rats and ants." Yun Hao said calmly.

Then please do so. Yuan Chunqing said.

Yun Hao followed Yuan Chunqing to Tianshi Academy.

Chu Xin Yue returned to the palace with her maidservants and guards.

At the main gate of the Chu Mansion, Chu Kong looked at the ruined pit in front of him, his face so gloomy it seemed like it was about to drip water!

"Grandpa..."

Chu Song said softly, "Let's go back home first."

Chu Kong's figure flashed, and he returned to the mansion with Chu Song.

“Grandfather… Yun Hao’s variable is too big. If we don’t get rid of him, I'm worried he will affect our next big plans!” Chu Song said.

Chu Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, "Even if Yun Hao has great potential, in the short term, he is not yet capable of affecting our grand plan."

If it wasn't that they insisted on killing Yun Hao, I wouldn't have helped them three days ago.

Now it seems that Yun Hao already has some suspicions about us. Today's challenge was deliberate, aimed at the incident three days ago.

"Grandpa... what do we do now" Chu Song was clearly panicked.

Chu Kong let out a cold snort and said, "I don't know why they want to kill Yun Hao over there, but what he did today, our Chu family can't tolerate it. Zhou Rong's bone patterns are about to be complete. He is my only disciple. When the time comes, I will let him come forward and repay in kind. We will use a life-and-death duel to kill Yun Hao."

As for Yun Hao suspecting us, it doesn't matter.

Your Majesty and Yuan Qing must be suspecting that we are involved in what happened three days ago.

But they had no evidence, so they dared not move a single brick or tile of the Chu mansion.

Now, we should truly be worried about Yuan Chunqing. I suspect this old fox is no longer at the level of a Unity Realm cultivator!

Hearing this, Chu Song became even more panicked.

Chu Kong looked at Sun Zi and said, "Sun'er, those who achieve great things need to keep their composure. You are still lacking in tempering. Even if Yuan Chunqing is no longer from the Guiyi Realm, can we not deal with him here"

"Grandfather, you mean... we also have power that surpasses the Unification Realm"

A cold smile appeared on Chu Kong's face as he said, "Once we make a move, even two Yuan Chunqing will be destined for death!"

………

Tianshi Academy is located in the inner city of the Imperial City.

The Tianshi Academy has a high platform, one hundred zhang tall, called the Stargazing Platform.

Since the founding of the Qingfeng Dynasty, the Stargazing Platform has existed. Only each generation's Grand Astrologer is allowed to ascend the Stargazing Platform.

But today, it's different!

Yuan Chunqing, accompanied by Yunhao, arrived at the observatory.

Standing on the observatory, one can take in the entire view of the imperial city. The inner city, outer city, and even most of the palace grounds are visible.

Yuan Chunqing glanced at the grandeur of the imperial city and then looked at Yun Hao, saying: "I have stood here and watched the imperial city for forty years."

Yun Hao: "What did Yuan Guoshi see"

Yuan Chunqing fell silent for a moment, then said, "I see the signs of the nation's downfall!"

As a state advisor, speaking these words would inevitably cause an uproar if they were spread outside. Yuan Chunqing was also destined to bring upon himself countless calamities.

So, he never told anyone.

Today is...the first time.

The signs of a nation's demise had persisted for over forty years, becoming increasingly evident. Yet, just a few months ago, I glimpsed a glimmer of change in the south.

This little fellow Dongfangxiu, although born into wealth and nobility, has a calamity in his fate. The variable to overcome this calamity also lies in the south.

To avoid too much attention, I sent Dongfang Xiu south.

His tribulation finally passed safely.

Therefore, I think, the key to reversing the signs of a nation's decline,

...is on Yun Gongzi.

Since Yun Gongzi arrived at the imperial city.

All signs of the impending national demise are coming to light one by one, though the danger is growing increasingly apparent, the fact that they are now visible...

Then there's a way to solve it!

Yun Hao didn't respond to Yuan Chunqing.

Yuan Chunqing continued, "Young Master Yun is not someone who acts impulsively or recklessly. Today, for Young Master Yun to come to the Chu residence, he must have solid evidence, wouldn't you say"

Three days ago, that teleportation array borrowed the power of the Nine Dragons Shocking Heaven Formation. I discovered it, but they moved too fast, erasing all traces.

Even the Emperor himself could not take action against the Chu family without evidence.

Yun Hao looked at Yuan Chunqing and said, "Master Yuan, what brilliant plan do you have"

Yuan Chunqing: "I have a favor to ask of Young Master Yun!"

"Mr. Yuan, please speak."

"I discovered many problems with the Nine Dragons Sky-Shattering Formation years ago, but I'm not skilled in formations. Several top-tier formation masters from the Qingfeng Dynasty are closely connected to the Chu Mansion, making it impossible for me to investigate further."

This formation covers the entire imperial city, it's the biggest hidden danger. If we can't find the problem, the consequences will be endless.

Young Master Yun's mastery of formations is already at the top level in the Qingfeng Imperial Dynasty. So, I want to ask Young Master Yun to help me examine this imperial city and uncover what secrets the Nine Dragons Sky-Shattering Formation is hiding.

During this process, the Celestial Master's Institute puts all its power at Cloud Master's disposal!

Yuan Chunqing, truly worthy of being the pillar of the Qingfeng Dynasty, had already sensed the problem with the Nine Dragons Heavenly Formation. Yun Hao calmly said, "There's no need to look any further."

"What do you mean" Yuan Chun's face was puzzled.

Yun Hao: "The core of the Jiulong Jingtian Great Formation is located in the palace, but the core within the palace is just a backup. The real core is inside Chu Kong's body. He has arranged himself into the largest formation base."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuan Chunqing's face turned pale with shock.

This once-powerful Grand Tutor, who had ruled the Qingfeng Dynasty for decades and stood on the observation platform overlooking the capital city for forty years, was now...disgraced!

After a long silence, Yuan Chunqing seemed to have made an extremely difficult decision and said, “What if Chu Kong died!”ssassin fell silent for a moment, then said: “Princess Long, please come in. The Master has been waiting for you inside!”………>The other side.Yun Hao, Han Qian Shan, also broke open the space and appear...
