1165 Blocking Wangnet and the sword saint Rio Tinto, who were fighting, noticed the strong power fluctuations at the same time and could not help but be shocked. Not good! Rio Tinto’s expression changed. He did not know the source of this energy fluctuation, but he could sense that it contained an extremely large fluctuation. Buzzzzzz! Rio Tinto wanted to stop the magic array. His body flashed in mid-air as he turned around to attack Fang Heng. “Hu!” Wangnet stood in front of Rio Tinto, the black spike in his hand exploding. “BOOM!!” The two of them jumped backward at the same time due to the explosion. “Hahaha, why? You’ve just said some harsh words and now you want to run?” Wangnet’s gaze swept past Fang Heng’s position, he laughed and looked at Rio Tinto, looking like he had the upper hand, “Rio Tinto, your opponent is me, do you understand?” At the same time in the underground world, beams of blood-red light shot up into the sky. Argyll, the linguist of the Empire, looked at the seven beams of red light in shock. When the surrounding cave-dwelling beasts saw this strange scene, they couldn’t help but kneel on the ground and worship, shouting words like “God’s miracle” and “Saint.” Argyll swallowed his saliva carefully. What was going on? These were all… The zombies that had gathered around the altar began to move, pouring the blood of the creatures into the blood pool. Mo Jiawei licked his lips, his eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement. It seemed that Fang Heng had started to take action. After separating from Fang Heng, he came to the underground world alone to help the zombie clones and the cave-dwelling beasts to set up the vampires’ altar. In addition to the barbarians, there were also a large number of monsters living in the underground world. The cave-dwelling beasts knew the areas where the monsters were located like the back of their hands. In addition, Wei Tao and Mikhael slaughtered a large number of barbarians from the underground world. These barbarian corpses were also brought back by the cave-dwelling beast as sacrifices, greatly reducing the time needed for Fang Heng to summon the Blood Temple. At the moment, the zombie clones had already accumulated a large amount of blood in advance and this was enough to last for a short time. …. The Empire, the inner hall of the royal family. “Fang Heng… The sacred tree…” Salvador muttered as he flipped through the report in his hands. On the right, a middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “I heard that the Land of Plague had seized enlightenment stones from the barbarians. We guess that the sacred tree may also be a product of the power of the enlightenment stones.” Salvador looked at the man who had spoken. “Bang!!!” He threw the report at the man. Salvador’s face darkened and he rebuked, “The sacred tree! What is he trying to do? Is he trying to overthrow the royal family?” No one dared to speak. Everyone knew that the Empire had always maintained an extremely harsh attitude towards religion. The Holy Court had been suppressed by the royal family and could not develop. “Where’s Mingyue?” “Her Highness Mingyue is still in the palace. She hasn’t left.” Salvador’s eyes turned cold and he asked, “I heard that Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng used to work together?” “Your Majesty, the Land of Plague has just helped the Empire defeat the invasion of the barbarian army and protected Hani City from the barbarian invasion.” “Also, Lord Fang Heng has been very close to the other feudal lords of the Empire recently. He has proposed a plan to build a defensive line of mage towers. If we attack him rashly, I’m afraid it will cause a riot within the Empire…” Salvador’s face was cold as he said, “Are you trying to say that I can’t even handle a small feudal lord?” “Your Majesty, please consider the big picture. A mere feudal lord is not worth your trouble.” “At present, we cannot mobilize much of the Empire’s military forces. If we want to make a move, it is better to wait until we defeat the barbarians before making any plans.” An old man standing on the left below continued, “In addition, the hidden guard reported that Lord Fang Heng came to the royal family this afternoon to attend a seminar organized by the Alchemy Association. I think he should have received the news that Her Highness Mingyue has been under house arrest.” “I’ve already ordered people to strengthen the protection of Her Highness Mingyue. Once he invades the Imperial City, we can seize the opportunity to capture him.” “The Imperial City is guarded by the sword saint Rio Tinto. If he dares to come, we must take him down. Then, we will have the initiative.” Salvador thought for a moment and waved his hand, accepting the suggestion. “Reporting! The royal family is under attack!” Salvador’s eyes lit up. Good! Alright! He wasn’t afraid of them coming, he was only afraid of them not coming. “Is it Fang Heng?” “There are two intruders,” the guard continued. “One of them is Wangnet, one of the successors of the barbarian race. The other’s identity is still unknown.” ... How could it be Wangnet? Salvador’s expression was one of surprise, and then joy. This was even better! If they could capture Wangnet, it would be even better than capturing Fang Heng! “Hahaha! Just in time! He won’t be able to return!” “Yes, Your Majesty! The sword saint Rio Tinto and the commander of the royal guards have already gone out to face the enemy. They will definitely capture him!” Salvador was silent for a moment. In theory, the sword saint and the commander of the royal guards should be enough to deal with the Tier 3 barbarian. But he still felt a little unstable. He was a little hesitant about whether he should go personally. “Your Majesty, this is the most critical moment for you. It is too dangerous to act forcefully. Please focus on the overall situation and avoid failing at the last step.” “Yes.” Everyone was just talking when they suddenly felt a violent shake under their feet. ... What was going on? Everyone couldn’t help but look out the window. In the outside world, the sky was covered in red clouds. Salvador felt a strange energy fluctuation. He had never seen such a fluctuation before, and it was extreme. … [Hint: The player has successfully summoned the coffin of the Vampire King.] [Hint: The remaining duration of the Vampire King’s coffin is 60 seconds. Players can extend the summoning time by offering sacrifices to the blood altar.] [Hint: The longer the summoning of the Vampire King’s coffin lasts, the more blood will be consumed by the altar.] [Hint: You have performed a ‘miracle’ in front of the cave-dwelling beasts, and your reputation among the cave-dwelling beasts has greatly increased.] Fang Heng stood still, the game hint flashing quickly in his retina. He gathered his mental strength to its peak and poured it all into the alchemy magic array. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 A crimson coffin rose from the center of the magic array and appeared in front of Fang Heng. After successfully advancing to the elementary level of alchemy, Fang Heng realized he could control the magic array more easily and freely. In the past, he had to focus all his attention on controlling it, but now he could do two things at once. Raising his head, Fang Heng noticed that a sharp aura had locked him firmly in the distance! “Stop him!” A young man dashed out from the royal guards behind him, holding a long spear in his hand. His figure was like a flash of lightning as he ran towards him! The commander of the royal guards, Xiao Yun, revealed a surging battle intent in his eyes. His indomitable spear force poured out, completely sealing off all of Fang Heng’s escape routes! Fang Heng looked at him coldly. “Chi!!” There was a dry sound. The coffin that appeared in front of Fang Heng opened a crack! Xiao Yun’s determined eyes were filled with shock.
