Chapter 1168
"Have the magical artifacts and materials that were delivered been thoroughly inspected?"
The cautious Zuo Gu Zi immediately pressed for an answer.
"Several shamans and array masters repeatedly checked and confirmed that there would be no problems."
"That's good! The reason why Huang Yaoshi was able to be easily killed by Ji Pifu is because the vessel he used to set up the formation was tampered with beforehand, and he suffered a backlash."
"His Majesty has been planning this project for many years."
"Absolutely no mistakes are allowed!"
After Zuo Guzi finished speaking, the entourage collectively replied, "Yes!"
After his subordinates finished working on the formation, Zuo Guzi, standing in place, continued to survey the direction of the capital.
Then, he said meaningfully, "Master, His Majesty gave you a chance, but you insisted on going your own way."
"Then I, the commander, will see if you have the ability to turn the tide this time."
More than twenty minutes later!
All preliminary preparations have been completed.
More than a dozen shamans and array masters took their positions.
The imperial tomb, which was once filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, is now covered by a strong stench of blood.
Besides several blood-filled ghost-head vessels, the refined human bones, arranged according to the Earthly Branches and Heavenly Stems, coiled around the mountain like snakes, completely surrounding the Gate of Hell that Zhu Youwei and the Celestial Master had sealed with 'Dragon Soaring Through the Void'.
Zuo Gu Zi, who was in the very center of the formation, carefully took out a jade bottle from his inner pocket.
What is contained here is one of the few remaining essences and blood of Emperor Qiming!
Using this as a guide to break the seal will make the task much easier.
Zuo Guzi, who was devout to Zhu Wushang, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the jade bottle before starting the battle.
He, who was about to personally activate the formation, knew better than anyone that his emperor was very likely to suffer a backlash.
But as long as he successfully possesses the body, the damage caused by such backlash will be erased!
"You will assist this commander in opening the gates of hell, and then evacuate quickly according to the predetermined route."
Do not linger here.
"Tonight's actions are intended to attract the worship of Yuan Tiangang and the Shenjishu people before the Jiangnan navy enters the capital."
"When Yuan Tiangang arrives here with his troops and reseals the Gates of Hell, you will then follow me and fight your way out."
Upon hearing this, the array masters and shamans immediately replied, "Yes!"
Zuo Guzi's plan was extremely 'simple'. He was certain that Yuan Tiangang would not stand idly by and watch the strange events at the imperial tombs occur.
After all, with the Jiujiang navy attacking Lishui from the front, and if chaos ensued from the rear, they would be attacked from both sides and would not be able to defend the capital.
Little did they know, the attacking Jiujiang navy, and the Jiangnan navy ordered to enter the capital, were both their men!
This unexpected event will also severely damage Yuan Tiangang and Shenji Shu.
Zuo Guzi's plan to use concubines to infiltrate the palace and use shamans to perform the "Soul-Binding Secret Technique" was never intended to succeed!
Its fundamental purpose was to force Yuan Tiangang to use the Golden Light Mantra to lock the soul and protect the spirit of Emperor Jingtai.
But in this process, he will have to expend at least 10% to 20% of his strength.
At their level, the primordial energy they consume can be replenished autonomously through breathing exercises.
It may take some time!
The point that Zuo Gu Zi Ka was positioned at was enough to prevent Yuan Tian Gang from recovering.
They came here to subdue the demon with only 80-90% of their strength!
The demons that emerge from the gates of hell will have their cultivation level greatly reduced when they enter the mortal realm.
But that was enough to cause Shenjishu to suffer heavy losses and also to make Yuan Tiangang expend at least 50% of his power.
If he were to forcibly erect a relic barrier in front of the gates of hell, he would have to sacrifice his own life essence.
If Zuo Guzi were to lead his men out at this moment...
I wouldn't say I could kill Yuan Tiangang with a 100% certainty, but at the very least, I could inflict irreversible damage on him.
They even fell below the Saint Realm, dropping to the Ninth or Eighth Rank!
Even if he manages to escape by chance, he will not pose a significant threat to Emperor Qiming in the future.
