Imperial capital.

Qianlin District.

The night is shrouded in cold mist.

The light of the silver moon covers a ruin, ruins, collapsed temple walls, charred beams and woods, some broken glasses that shine slightly under the moonlight, and the ornaments are like broken silver falling in the dust. It can vaguely tell the prosperity of carved beams and painted buildings here in the past.

This is Li's Mansion.

The home of Li Chenyuan, the prodigal son of heaven.

The Li family was not even the emperor a few days ago. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the top wealthy family in the entire empire.

The four princes of the Li family serve in the Holy Cabinet, the Holy Council, and Huiyao City. They have great power and their clan members are all over the imperial court. It is just because there has never been an ancestor in the family, so they are not considered the supreme wealthy family...

But now, all glory is dust in the wind.

The Li family is dead.

A bloody battle a few days ago turned the wealthy family into ruins.

In that battle, tens of thousands of Huiyao City Imperial Guards surrounded the Li Mansion.

When that was the case, the strong roared, the warships roared, the formations were broken, the blue sky was bleeding, and the blazing flames burned the high-walled courtyard, and swallowed up countless figures of the Li clan's resistance!

After a heart-wrenching cruel war, the wealthy mansion with infinite scenery in the past became scorched earth ruins.

Numerous deaths and injuries were found among the Li family members.

Blood stained every inch of land here red.

And all this is just because of one person

Li Chenyuan.

This name once represented glory.

It represents the benchmark for the younger generation of geniuses in the Holy Empire.

A young man named Li Chenyuan was once an idol of countless new generations of human geniuses in the empire.

Gentle as the wind, humble and motivated.

This is the evaluation of Li Chenyuan by many elders.

A gentleman is as handsome as jade.

This is what many peers say about Li Chenyuan.

Be kind and righteous in your heart.

This is what many civilians say about Li Chenyuan.

Top family background, excellent talent, super high emotional intelligence, absolute self-control, excellent will...

Any young man who gets one of these five can become a sensational figure.

But Li Chenyuan has five of them.

This kind of praise reached its peak when Li Chenyuan took the initiative to apply and resolutely became a member of the tribute group's crazy believer despite the dissuasion of his family elders.

This was a difficult decision.

Because it is well known that becoming a member of the tribute group is an ostensible glory, but once you enter the Temple of the Emperor, it will be gone forever and become history, and there is no connection with this prosperous world.

Essentially,

It's no difference from death.

None of the crazy believers who entered the Emperor's Temple in the past have lived.

No one can be seen alive, no corpse can be seen dead.

Therefore, this so-called glory is actually a disaster that many top powerful disciples avoid.

But Li Chenyuan's heart was the same.

He proved with practical actions that his loyalty to the emperor was not stopped by words, but truly put into action.

The Li family has also been highly praised for this.

Everything was originally going as expected by the outside world.

If there is no accident, although Li Chenyuan will never return, it will become a model advocated by the three top powerful giants, a symbol of glory that has been constantly mentioned, and an official propaganda.

But an accident still happened.

Li Chenyuan is gone and returns.

As the leader, he walked out of the Emperor's Temple for the first time in history with forty-nine crazy believers.

The empire shook.

I thought this would be another peak of glory in Li Chenyuan.

Who knew that in less than ten hours, Li Chenyuan and his comrades-in-arms fell from a lofty hero to a sinner who betrayed the empire.

The Li family was robbed because of this.

Under the encirclement and suppression of the Imperial Army in Huiyao City, no matter how great the glory is, it will become ashes. It is said that on the day of the war, two new military ancestors of Huiyao City took action, and Li Yaori, the former head of the Li family, was also the only new ancestor of the Li family who died in the battle.

After paying a huge price, the Li family miraculously broke through the siege, protected Li Chenyuan, a traitor, and fled far away. They left the imperial capital and embarked on the road of escape.

The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a s

The original Li family mansion has become a scorched earth.

Few people arrived.

This is already an abandoned place.

Even during the day, no one showed up.

But tonight is an exception.

Lin Beichen's figure melted into the darkness and appeared silently.

He stood in the shadow of the collapsed stone hall, converged his breath and looked around.

"So, is it fake to escape from the core members of the Li Mansion? Is it true to hide in the ruins of this mansion?"

Lin Beichen raised his middle finger and rubbed his eyebrows.

Although he didn't know how Gongsun Longquan got the news, he still chose to believe it.

Since the return of the tribute group, everything that happened revealed strangeness and abnormality. The Li family did not escape, but was willing to risk their lives to stay. It was not impossible.

If you even think carefully, staying here in the dark under the light is the best choice.

Lin Beichen's eyes were looking at the moonlight.

And at this moment, he was very excited.

After a moment of movement, I noticed something.

A slight energy fluctuation came from a distance.

A faint ripples arise in the void.

Two figures appeared in the ruins of Li's mansion like ghosts.

Their cultivation was extremely powerful, as if they had merged into the void, and they were carefully hiding their aura, as if they were afraid of attracting the attention of outsiders, and their goals were clear, so they walked directly to the western section of the ruins and stopped in front of a giant statue of the ruined martial god.

This statue of the Martial God was originally 100 meters high and exquisitely carved. It is one of the landmark buildings of the Li Mansion. It is said to be carved according to the image of the Li family ancestor, but now it has become a waste. Because the base was destroyed, it has fallen tilted to the ground and was cut into two sections by an extremely terrifying knife intent. There were scattered cracks on the waist, and the cross-section exposed was as smooth as a mirror.

"It's here."

"It's really a place to search for something without any effort."

The two of them looked happy and communicated in a low voice.

One of them raised his hand and rotated and pressed it on the left eye of the stone statue and the right ear one after another.

Rumble.

The collapsed stone statue vibrated.

The base moved slowly, revealing a black corridor entrance.

The two figures couldn't wait to enter.

Then the base returned to its original state and the corridor disappeared.

Lin Beichen came to the front of the collapsed stone statue.

"This is a mechanism, not a formation."

He observed carefully.

The mechanism does not contain energy fluctuations and relies purely on physical machinery. It is a very primitive and rare craft that is not included in the twenty-four bloodlines. Because it does not contain energy fluctuations, it is easy to be ignored by martial arts powerhouses.

This may be one of the reasons why the Li family can escape the pursuit of the Imperial Guard?

But it's by no means everything.
