At the entrance of the main hall of the court, musicians played music, officials stood respectfully, and a large number of soldiers stood in all directions in the square in front of the hall.
They all looked at a circular platform in the center of the square, surrounded by a large number of cloud-patterned white jade, looking like a white jade hill, beautiful, atmospheric, and luxurious, this is the "Immortal Welcome Platform" specially built to welcome the immortal cultivators.
There were two figures standing on the Yingxian platform, none other than Hong Zhan and Niu Weizong.
"Why haven't my master and the others come yet?" Niu Weizong said with an anxious expression.
"You immortals are studying whether the artillery is a threat." Hong Zhan looked in the direction of the south of the city and said.
"Threat? The artillery can't even hurt me, if I hadn't been careless at the beginning, how could I have been captured by you? The small artillery also wants to threaten them, it's ridiculous." Niu Weizong said disdainfully.
Hong Zhan didn't care about Niu Wei Sect's ridicule, because he only had one chance to deal with the immortal cultivators, he couldn't make a mistake, so he had to take into account every detail, including the psychology of the immortal cultivators.
In the first step, he wanted to dispel all the concerns of the immortal cultivators and make them look down on him, so that they would not guard against him.
Not only the south city tower, but also the surrounding city towers were full of artillery, he just wanted to make the immortal cultivators feel that "his strongest artillery is just not out of fashion."
Sure enough, at this moment, on the South City Tower, the immortal cultivators were staring at a pitch-black cast iron cannon.
"Immortals, this is the strongest divine cannon of my Great Qing Dynasty, at the beginning, it was this cannon that defeated King Xiaoyao in one fell swoop." A guard introduced respectfully.
"Give it a try!" An immortal cultivator said.
"Yes!" The guard said respectfully.
He beckoned several soldiers to immediately fill up the ammunition and ignite it, and with a bang, the Shenwu cannon fired a fireball towards the outside of the city, shattering a large stone in the distance.
"It's a bit interesting, senior brother, hit me and let me try the power." An immortal cultivator smiled with interest.
He saw another immortal cultivator start to carry the refilled Divine Martial Cannon on his shoulder, and the muzzle of the cannon was fired at him.
With a bang, the shell was cut in half by him in mid-air. And the man carrying the cannon only trembled slightly under the huge recoil.
This scene made all the defenders dumbfounded, that was a divine cannon, could it be carried with one hand? Can you still cut the shells with one sword? Are the immortals' methods so exaggerated?
Enjoying the shock and worship of the generals, the immortal cultivator smiled disdainfully: "The power is too weak, it can only deal with the weakest innate realm, it is completely ineffective against us. I thought it was some kind of magic weapon, but it turned out to be just such a thing? Do they still regard it as a treasure? It's ridiculous."
All the immortal cultivators scoffed at the divine martial cannon, and then, they all looked at the man in red at the head.
The man in red also glanced at the artillery contemptuously and said, "I've seen the artillery too, let's go see Niu Weizong."
"Immortals, the emperor learned that you were coming, and specially led the officials and King Xiaoyao to welcome you at the Yingxian Terrace at the entrance of the main hall of the court." A general hurriedly stepped forward and said extremely respectfully.
All the immortal cultivators looked in the direction of the palace together, and sure enough, there was an immortal platform in the palace, and Hong Zhan and Niu Wei Zongzheng stood quietly waiting.
"Let's go!" The man in red said.
"Yes!"
They each threw out a long sword, stepped on the long sword, and with a whoosh, the sword flew into the sky, and after only a while, they reached the sky above the Yingxian Terrace, looking down condescendingly.
"Daqing Dynasty, Hong Zhan, meet all the immortals." Hong Zhan bowed solemnly.
"Meet all the immortals." The officials also bowed respectfully from a distance.
Niu Weizong hurriedly bowed: "Disciple Niu Weizong, meet the master, meet the masters, and meet the brothers."
He was extremely excited, and finally waited for the master to come back, he wanted to take revenge, he wanted to let Hong Zhan die without a place to bury himself.
The immortal cultivators looked around, and then, together they slowly fell to the Yingxian Terrace with the man in red.
At this point, Hong Zhan exhaled lightly, the big stone in his heart settled, and the second step was to lead you into the urn. Under the guidance of Niu Wei Sect, this group of arrogant immortal cultivators did not check whether there was any danger at all, they all fell on the Yingxian Platform.
"Master, why are you here, my disciple has been so miserable all these years, Hong Zhan, this thief, he ......" Niu Weizong stepped forward and kept complaining to the man in red who was the leader.
The immortal cultivators looked at Hong Zhan coldly, obviously, in their opinion, all of Hong Zhan's flattery to them was just a joke, and Hong Zhan in front of them was just a lamb to be slaughtered, let them knead it.
"Hong Zhan? You really have a big fate, you were injured like that back then, you could survive? You actually dare to mess with my arrangements, I really don't know if I am alive or dead. Now, give the throne to Niu Weizong, and I can keep your whole body." The man in red at the head said coldly.
Hong Zhan looked at the man in red and did not show any timidity, because now he had already changed his position.
Before this group of immortal cultivators fell on the Yingxian Terrace, he could only let it be slaughtered, but now it was different, he could slaughter immortals. This Immortal Terrace is his Immortal Slaying Knife.
"I think there are some things that we will talk about later, it will be better." Hong Zhan smiled.
"Presumptuous!" The eyes of the immortal cultivators were cold.
Several immortal cultivators even walked over step by step, trying to subdue Hong Zhan.
With a click, the two jade plates under Hong Zhan's feet suddenly collapsed and fell, and with a whoosh, Hong Zhan fell down.
"What?" The immortal cultivators quickly stepped forward in astonishment and looked down.
But I saw that there was a drop passage there, and after the flood fell, with a bang, a large metal lid closed the bottom of the passage.
"He was already ready to escape?"
"The inside of the Ying Sendai is filled with strange things, and it smells the same as the cannon just now?"
"Why is there fire below?"
……
Several immortal cultivators frowned.
"There is a problem." The man in red's face changed.
They all realized something was wrong and wanted to hide, but it was too late.
Rumble~!
The Immortal Terrace suddenly exploded, and endless flames erupted, blooming in the palace like the sun, and the huge light instantly lit up the entire heaven and earth.
The immortal cultivators had no time to escape, not even shouting, and in the midst of their exclamations, they were instantly engulfed by the sky-covering flames.
-----
Underground, in a safe house sealed entirely of metal, stood several soldiers in armor, and as the flood fell, they quickly closed the metal door above.
With a bang, the metal safe house suddenly shook violently, and the terrifying shock force even deformed the metal wall for a while.
Dynamite! This is the reliance of Hong Zhan Yifan Rebellious Immortal.
The power of the artillery is weak, that is because there is too little gunpowder in the cannon, and the gunpowder ratio is not the best, the best ratio of explosives naturally has to be used at the most critical time, and the entire Yingxian Terrace is filled with explosives, such a power, I don't know how many times stronger than the artillery.
Perhaps, these explosives were not worth mentioning in front of some powerful immortal cultivators, but they were enough to deal with this group of immortal cultivators.
The violent shock ended quickly, and Hong Zhan said: "Let's go!"
"Yes!" Several soldiers responded excitedly.
They knew that the emperor wanted to slaughter immortals, if it had been before, they would not have dared to think about it, but now they have witnessed it with their own eyes.
They followed a passage to another exit from the safe house, which was in the main hall of the court.
When they walked into the main hall of the court, they saw that the hall was in a mess by the aftermath of the explosion, and the tiles fell to the ground.
Seeing that, everything in the square was destroyed, and the original Yingxian Terrace was long gone, leaving only a huge pit and an underground safe house that had been blown up and deformed.
There were also a large number of stumps and broken arms scattered around the square, it was the broken corpses of the group of immortal cultivators, and Niu Weizong was naturally blown up as well.
"Sure enough, there is still a living mouth, the vitality of immortal cultivators is really tenacious." Hong Zhan sighed.
However, they saw that in several directions of the square, there were five figures lying on their stomachs at the moment, some of them had their arms blown off, some had their legs blown off, their bodies were covered in blood, their whole bodies were charred, and their bodies could still tremble slightly, their eyes widened and their eyes were full of horror, as if they couldn't believe that they were still a dignified immortal cultivator, how could they be planted here?
"Your Majesty, they should all be abolished." An official said excitedly.
"Don't take it lightly, according to the method that came out of the mouth of Niu Weizong, seal the veins with golden needles, and then break their dantian and abolish their cultivation." Hong Zhan said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The official said.
Several soldiers kept approaching and dealt with the five immortal cultivators.
The five surviving immortal cultivators had been severely injured in their internal organs, they were already extremely weak, they couldn't even make a sound, they could only let a group of mortals abandon their cultivation, they glared at this group of mortals in shame and anger, but no one cared about the threat in their eyes.
Soon, a soldier came over and said: "Your Majesty, you have abolished their cultivation, but they have all fainted from pain."
Hong Zhan stepped forward and checked each immortal cultivator again, and then said in a deep voice: "You can treat them, after treatment, clean them and put them in the immortal prison."
"Yes!" Several officials responded.
"Collect what they left behind." Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!" Another official responded.
Soon, long swords and somewhat damaged storage bags were sent to Hong Zhan.
Hong Zhan opened the storage bag and saw bottles of pills, at this time, he let out a long breath, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. With these elixirs, he broke through to the innate realm, and there was hope.
-------
A few days later, a palace complex in the palace was guarded by a large number of soldiers. Hong Zhan walked slowly under the surroundings of several officials.
"Your Majesty, when the five immortal cultivators were just able to speak, they kept cursing, and when they calmed down, they realized their situation and rarely spoke." An official said.
Hong Zhan nodded and slowly walked into a hall with several officials.
The inside of the hall was not grand, on the contrary, it was quite gloomy, with a large number of torture instruments placed everywhere, and there was even a bronze cage trapping five disabled immortal cultivators, which was obviously a cell of extremely high specifications.
"Hong Zhan?" An immortal cultivator suddenly shouted angrily.
In the cage, the other immortal cultivators who had closed their eyes opened their eyes one after another, and their eyes were full of fire to look at Hong Zhan, who was slowly walking.
"Immortals, we meet again." Hong Zhan smiled.
The immortal cultivators glared at Hong Zhan, wishing they could peel off Hong Zhan's skin and cramp, eat meat and gnaw bones, how could they ever have such a big somersault? It is simply a great shame to be planted in the hands of a mortal.
Hong Zhan looked at the man in red who was the leader of the immortal cultivators, and said with a smile: "Lone Star, I haven't seen you for twenty years, back then, I was almost beaten to death by you!"
Lone Xingzi stared at Hong Zhan and asked: "What do you want?"
Hong Zhan smiled and said: "I don't want to do anything, but there are many problems of cultivating immortals, I don't understand too much, I hope you can solve my doubts."
Lone Xingzi stared at Hong Zhan for a while, then took a deep breath and said: "I can take you as an apprentice and teach you everything in the future."
Hong Zhan smiled and shook his head, this time, that time, is it still twenty years ago?
Lone Xingzi continued: "Don't worry, I can not blame you for your previous actions, and I can provide you with a handle to blackmail us."
Hong Zhan shook his head again and said: "No, I don't believe in anything."
"Hmph, the road to cultivating immortality is full of all kinds of traps and confusion, if you are not careful, you will go crazy, not to mention that you are seventy years old, and your practice is even more dangerous. Lone Star said arrogantly.
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you point me out." Hong Zhan said.
Lone Xingzi seemed to realize something, and his face sank and said: "What do you want?"
"Actually, I am imprisoning you, and you are instructing me to practice, so there is no conflict. Isn't this good?" Hong Zhan said.
"Prisoner Immortal asked? You, you are so bold." Lone Xingzi's face changed, and he said angrily.
He understood the purpose of Hong Zhan, it was the first time he had seen such a terrifying mortal, using his mortal body to imprison immortal cultivators and ask them about the method of cultivating immortals?
"My courage is not as good as yours, and every ten years, I will sacrifice the lives of 20,000 young children to your magic weapons? Treat human life as grass and weeds, and regard mortals as livestock? You are so bold, so vicious demons." Hong Zhan said coldly.
"You!" Lone Xingzi's face changed.
"Murderer, people always kill him, I can save your life, it is already the greatest tolerance for you, spit out all the knowledge you know about immortal cultivation, and lose your merits, otherwise, my immortal prison will not support idle people." Hong Zhan said coldly.
"My division will not let you go." A hostile aura flashed in Lone Xingzi's eyes.
He had never been threatened by a mortal like this, and the pride and anger in his heart made him unable to bow his head at all.
Hong Zhan looked at Lone Star and said in a deep voice: "I'm not discussing it with you, I'm just informing you. If you still can't position yourself correctly, my people will teach you how to recognize yourself."
"You dare!" Lone Xingzi panicked, but he still glared at Hong Zhan angrily.
Hong Zhan ignored him, but turned his head to look at an official and said: "Separate them to prevent collusion."
"Yes!" The official responded.
After giving the order, Hong Zhan turned his head and walked out of this immortal prison slowly.
"Stop for me, come back!" Lone Xingzi still roared angrily.
However, Hong Zhan no longer had the interest in talking to him, he believed that his courtiers would govern this group of demons obediently.
The prisoner immortal asked? This is his true purpose.
