Dong!

Dong, dong, dong!

The day before the God Worshipping Day passed, the sound of heavy drums suddenly rang out from the skies above the Dajiang Imperial City.

Every vibration caused the ground to tremble. The noisy city suddenly went deathly silent.

People knew that this was a 'summoning order' for Dajiang Palace, summoning the five bloodline Kylin Imperial Kinsmen and converging at the 'Dajiang Palace'.

As for what had happened, no one knew.

When the drum rang, Jiang Zizai, Lu Dinghsing and the other two had already returned to their Dajiang Palace.

Every heavy drum beat was like a heavy punch, pounding Jiang Zizai's chest and making it hard for him to breathe.

On the Purple Qilin Platform.

This was an important occasion for the Dajiang Palace, and normally, it would be a place where great things would be held and announced.

It was a vast and boundless place, and five tall flags were erected all around.

Amongst them, on the flag in the middle was embroidered a purple Kylin Totem. The Qilin had nine streaks of heavenly lightning circling its body as it looked down at the heavens with a divine might.

Although it was only a totem, its aura was enough to make people feel solemn and respectful.

This was the totem of the faith of the five bloodline Kylin Imperial Kinsmen 'Purple Qilin Clan'!

The other four flags were the Fire Qilin, the Ink Qilin, the Yellow Qilin, and the Golden Qilin.

The Qilin Clan of Five Clans, reverence for thunder!

Then the current Jiang Yunting's totem had already evolved to the level of the 'Nine Calamity Heavenly Kylin Totem', and he could already be considered to be at the pinnacle of Flame Dragon Dynasty.

The Kylin Totem of the Nine Tribulations is ranked amongst the 'eight great super totems' of the Flame Dragon Dynasty, and is comparable to the 'Sacred Dragon Totem of the Flame Emperor'.

In truth, there were only two people who possessed the 'eight great super totems' of Flame Dragon Dynasty right now. It had been a long time since the last time the other six had appeared.

That is, the current Emperor 'Flame Dragon Emperor' and the Kylin Imperial Kinsmen Purple Unicorn King.

When the Purple Unicorn King was young, he helped the 'Flame Dragon Emperor' to win the throne, and then fought his way to the north to expand his territory. He was praised for his magnanimity and strict discipline.

Now that the world was at peace, Jiang Yunting guarded the southern part of the imperial family's Desolate Heavenly Pass, resisting the Source Beast of the south, and protecting the peace of the southern nation.

To the common people, the Purple Unicorn King was an able and loyal official who would do his best for the common people of the world.

His halo was recorded by all the people in the legends. How could something like this happen to an existence that was loved and respected by tens of thousands of people?

Jiang Zizai was still at a loss.

On the Purple Qilin Stage, amongst many important figures of Kylin Imperial Kinsmen, stood a beautiful woman dressed in palace clothing.

She was dressed extravagantly, her figure was graceful and her appearance graceful and dignified. Although she looked gentle, there was actually a sense of majesty hidden within her face that caused others to feel a sense of awe towards her.

At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, her red lips quivering, and her eyes a little redder.

She was Jiang Zizai's mother, Princess Consort Ruohua.

During the days when the Purple Unicorn King was in charge of the Desolate Heavenly Pass, he was in charge of both big and small matters of the Dajiang Prefecture.

Of course, she was also the woman that Jiang Zizai respected the most. Usually, Jiang Zizai's greatest pleasure was to make his busy mother laugh.

But at this moment, everything was different.

Beside the Princess Consort Ruohua, all the experts and honorable people of Kylin Imperial Kinsmen had arrived.

Five bloodline Qilins were divided into five residences, and Purple Unicorn Mansion was respected.

The Palace Masters and Elders of Gold Qi Lin Manor, Fire Qi Lin Manor, Huang Lin Fu Palace and Mo Lin Manor were all grouped around the Princess Consort Ruohua.

These high and mighty experts all had solemn expressions on their faces.

He seemed to have heard the sound of the wind, and under his solemn expression, he didn't know what was in his heart anymore.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Purple Qilin Platform.

At his current position, there was a flying Source Beast bird holding a golden scroll that was ten times bigger than his body.

It was the royal decree from the 'Flame Dragon Emperor'.

The Source Beast was a strange and powerful beast in this world. It was born from the heaven and earth, and shared this world with the tens of thousands of people.

This featherless bird that had a golden dragon scale was the Source Beast 'Winged Dragon' that was tamed by 'Flame Dragon Royal Family', a special method to transmit messages to others.

The imperial edict descended!

When the decree was opened by itself and the golden flames were set ablaze, an oppressing pressure that seemed to originate from the heavens pressed down onto everyone's heads.

It was as if a huge boulder was placed on top of everyone's heads. They had no choice but to kneel and accept the imperial edict.

Jiang Zizai withdrew his usual smile, and his heart trembled. This was the first time he had felt the might of an Emperor coming from the 'Flame Dragon Royal Family'.

"Kylin Imperial Kinsmen, receive the decree!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the golden flame scroll quickly unfurled and spread open.

Golden flames began to burn on the surface of the scroll, reflecting the dark expressions of everyone present.

Suddenly, a golden figure appeared from within the scroll. His unparalleled Emperor's might made everyone lower their heads and even prostrate themselves on the ground.

Although it was not the arrival of the Flame Dragon Emperor in person, it was still frightening enough.

Jiang Zizai clenched his teeth and fists. He was a little unresigned, but he could not resist.

It's about to be announced!

Everyone held their breaths and waited.

Indeed!

That heavy, deep, and imposing voice of the Flame Dragon Emperor, surpassed the sound of the drum before, and shook the entire Dajiang Imperial City.

It said, "Last night, there was a drastic change in Desolate Heavenly Pass."

With one sentence, Jiang Zizai's heart was raised to his throat. He wanted to cough to alleviate the pain, but he realized that he could not.

"My brother, Purple Unicorn King Jiang Yunting, has greatly disappointed us!"

Boom!

This was a huge uproar. Even the commoners outside could no longer breathe.

"He actually betrayed the dynasty, children, secretly hooked up with 'Xia Ming Nation', opened his' Desolate Heavenly Pass', lured tens of thousands of ferocious Source Beast, and charged into the heart of our dynasty. In one night, a hundred thousand citizens were killed, covered the entire mountain, and were burnt alive!"

Boom boom!

This was like thunder, exploding in the sky above the Dajiang Imperial City.

Jiang Zizai's mind was completely blank.

Tens of thousands of ferocious Source Beast rushed into the heart of the empire, facing the unarmed citizens, an unbridled massacre.

His wife had dissipated, and he had lost his family.

Corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed like a river!

The Desolate Heavenly Pass was the first stage of the Empire, if it wasn't for the strategic position being more important, how could they have Purple Unicorn King personally take charge?

"This matter, the evidence is conclusive. What Jiang Yunting did, the 'Qilin Army' have tens of thousands of soldiers, they all saw it with their own eyes."

"To this day, the soldiers of the Qilin Army are still fighting against the Source Beast at the border. Their casualties are disastrous!"

"As for Jiang Yunting, after he activated his Desolate Heavenly Pass, he had already fled!"

Of course, Jiang Zizai would be the first to not believe such an unimaginable matter.

His father had been an example and worshiped by him since he was young. He believed in his own beliefs, and his integrity and boldness were the most precious of qualities.

He knew his father better than anyone.

It was impossible for him to betray the country, much less personally kill or injure a hundred thousand people.

However, what the Flame Dragon Emperor said was that those who saw it with their own eyes were all the Qilin army warriors from Jiang Yunting's own clan.

Moreover, the Desolate Heavenly Pass have been passed down for a long time and the checkpoint is complicated, so only Jiang Yunting can open it …

Besides, if he didn't do it, why did he defect?

Jiang Zizai could no longer kneel, he sat on the ground, and wanted to speak up for his father, but even his tongue was trembling.

A hundred thousand people had died or been injured. All of Jiang Yunting's achievements added together were not even worth mentioning.

His mind was in complete chaos.

On one side, there was conclusive evidence. On the other side, there was disbelief.

Xia Ming Nation was in the west side of Flame Dragon Dynasty and there were many disputes between the two countries. Although the Desolate Heavenly Pass was in the south side, as long as it fell apart, it would cause internal and external troubles for Flame Dragon Dynasty.

Moreover, the Flame Dragon Emperor still had ironclad proof.

At this moment, flames were rising from the scroll as countless flames gathered together. The smoke changed, forming a scene.

The towering city walls in the picture, was precisely Desolate Heavenly Pass.

A purple figure blasted away the commander who was blocking the way. The person had personally made a move, shattering the Desolate Heavenly Pass door from the inside.

I saw it with my own eyes, it's really Jiang Yunting.

With a pfft, Jiang Zizai spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, he still shook his head. He didn't believe it.

His father, no, he was a hero.

On top of the scroll, the Flame Dragon Emperor gave a cold snort and continued: "The Kylin Imperial Kinsmen has been supporting me, the Flame Dragon for tens of thousands of years, the merit is heavy and the matter of the Desolate Heavenly Pass is not related to any of you.

"As for Jiang Yunting, he has committed a capital offense, we will personally capture him."

"Anyone who reports their whereabouts will be rewarded."

"Also …"

Flame Dragon Emperor looked down and glanced at Jiang Zizai's family as if he was looking at them.

"Southern King's eldest son of the emperor by his empress Jiang Junjian, loyal Senior General 'Lu Yuan'. Suspected accomplice, he has already escorted 'Flame Dragon Ruin' until the evidence is conclusive, and will be beheaded one day!"

His respected elder brother, along with Lu Dinghsing's father, the outspoken man, had become criminals.

He still remembered that when he was young, he made mistakes and Jiang Junjian helped him hold on.

Every time he was beaten up, his butt would become red and swollen in place of himself, but he would still solemnly tell himself that this was all because of his elder brother's lack of discipline, and that he deserved to be punished.

And now, he had to choose a day to execute it.

"As for Dajiang Imperial City, if there are accomplices, we will also send someone to investigate!"

"With this in mind!"

After saying the last two words, it was indeed over.

Everything regarding Jiang Zizai had been disrupted.

His father had betrayed his country and committed a heinous crime. His whereabouts were unknown.

The eldest brother became a criminal and would be executed in a day.

In a single day, the clan underwent a drastic change.

Lifting his head, he saw that the imperial edict had already disappeared. The purple Kylin Totem flag was still flying, but the sky was covered by dense dark clouds.

It was as if a few knives were stuck in his chest, causing blood to spurt out.

It was a type of blade that could not be pulled out no matter how he tried.

He might be able to remember the contents of this edict for the rest of his life.

Now, his mind was still blank. He suddenly stood up and looked around, only to find that like him, most of the people had blank expressions on their faces.

"Mother …"

When he saw the woman in the middle, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

Because he knew that she must be more miserable than he was. One was her husband, the other her son.

At this moment, her face was deathly pale, without the slightest hint of blood on it. She was like a wilted flower, and her grey eyes were powerlessly staring straight at Jiang Zizai.

One could see the pain in her heart.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Zizai's heart ached even more. He suddenly hated himself so much in this instant, yet he couldn't share her pain.

At this time, Dajiang Palace, a group of dragons without heads.

The faces of the other four Qilin Mansion Masters were also unsettled, and some of them even had expressions of anger.

It was just that he did not know if it was aimed at the Purple Unicorn King or the imperial edict itself.

The competition among the four bloodline Qilins had existed since ancient times, and the Purple Qilin Clan had only become the first residence in these dozens of years because of Jiang Yunting.

Now, Jiang Yunting was gone.

At this time, the Princess Consort Ruohua stood up and said: "Don't leave, immediately convene the 'Five Veins Great Assembly', and let all Palace Masters and Elders participate. Everyone else disband! "

Once the decree was issued, the entire world would know. This matter could not be concealed, and there was no way to stop others from speaking.

Jiang Zizai just felt sorry for her. At a time like this, he had to pretend to be calm and stabilize the Royal Family. If she collapsed and caused a ruckus, the outcome would be unimaginable.

In this world, there were many people who added insult to injury.

No matter how strong she was, Jiang Zizai could see that when she was speaking, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Mother …" Jiang Zizai walked forward.

"Let's return to the manor first. Don't wander around. Wait for mother to come back." Princess Consort Ruohua smiled gently and said, "Child, don't worry. There must be a misunderstanding. "Don't worry."

She was still considering his own feelings, but Jiang Zizai was not a child anymore. He knew that this matter had probably already become irreversible.

In the absence of Purple Unicorn King, all the important matters would be dealt with jointly by the Five Veins Great Assembly. She had to deal with this situation urgently, after all, she was the one who was supporting this family and Purple Unicorn Mansion.

Afterwards, the Purple Qilin Platform scattered. Some people left to participate in the Five Veins Great Assembly.

Only Lu Dinghsing, Ruo Xiaoyue were left behind.

Don't look at how big Lu Dinghsing was, his eyes were already red from crying.

Ruo Xiaoyue, this little girl, was squatting on the ground and sobbing, like a flower that had been drenched by the heavy rain.

"Boss, that's impossible! The King was not such a person! Brother Junjian and my father are also not that kind of people! Someone must have framed them! I want to go to Desolate Heavenly Pass, look for the truth, and help them wash away their grievances! " Lu Dinghsing clenched his teeth and said.

"Stop, return to the manor." Jiang Zizai took a deep breath.

He was one of the three men in the family, his father and brother. Now that such a major incident had occurred, he knew that he should not act rashly.

It was as if all the burdens had fallen on his shoulders.

However, two hours ago, he still had nothing to do and decided to listen to a small tune.

"Boss!" Are you afraid? " Lu Dinghsing was anxious.

"If you can't solve the problem, then calm down."

"Do you suspect the King?"

"I doubt your ass! That's my father! I don't understand it as well as you do? "

Although Jiang Zizai was not a Totem Martial Master, he had muddled along for a long time, and he had an imposing manner. This curse finally calmed Lu Dinghsing down.

"Xiaoyue, let's go back first. Don't cry."

Jiang Zizai helped the little girl up, his eyes heavy. He knew that from today onwards, he would not be able to shed tears.

From this moment onwards, a drastic change occurred in his life.

"Brother, wow …" Ruo Xiaoyue was still unable to hold back, and tears flowed down his face.

After returning to the estate, they finally stopped for a bit.

The three of them were waiting for the return of the Princess Consort Ruohua.

"Boss, do you think the other four palaces will help us? They have been suppressed for such a long time, they can't wait for us to fall so they can get the upper hand, right? " Lu Dinghsing said with red eyes.

Jiang Zizai caressed Ruo Xiaoyue's head and looked at the goldfish in the pond, then said indifferently: "That's right. Right now, Flame Dragon Emperor is saying that we should temporarily not pursue our Dajiang Palace. The ones in trouble are our father and brothers, their chance is here. "

The four Qilin palaces were not easy to deal with. There was no pain to be seen from their eyes after such a huge incident.

Right now, not to mention helping his father wash away his grievances, he might not even be able to preserve his status due to the Purple Unicorn Mansion.

But just at this time, Jiang Zizai was unable to change anything.

He could only struggle and feel depressed.

At this moment, he truly wished that he could be like his father and elder brothers and become someone who could change adversity.

But, the heavens were not merciful!

Without a Intrinsic Totem, they could only be a carrier for the rest of their lives. At most, their muscles would be a bit stronger.

Lu Dinghsing said worriedly: "According to the imperial court's rules, I'm saying if Brother Junjian and the King are unable to wash away their grievances, you will be the one to inherit the throne. However, it must wait until you reach the 'Holy Body Stage'. However, if we don't get the Intrinsic Totem for our final sacrifice tomorrow, we won't be able to reach the Holy Body Stage at all. At that time … "

Holy Body Stage was the third great realm of cultivation. Jiang Junjian, this peerless genius, was currently only twenty years old, and had reached this realm.

The Southern King's eldest son of the emperor by his empress was originally the successor to the throne.

Jiang Zizai clenched both his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, "Yes, if I don't get the Intrinsic Totem tomorrow, I would be deprived of my identity as the son of the Purple Unicorn King. If my big brother is unable to wash away this grievance, then my Purple Unicorn Mansion will be equivalent to nothing, and the other four Qilins will be able to rightfully ascend to the throne. "

Everything had changed.

Two hours ago, he wasn't worried about tomorrow's God Worshipping Day at all.

Because even if there were no good results, so what? With his father and brother around, he had no worries at all.

But now, if he failed and lost his identity, the whole family would be in even worse shape.

Although his elder sister still had Huguo Mansion, according to the clan rules, the position of Royal Family Patriarch couldn't be inherited by women.

At least right now, my life is not in danger. The one who is truly on the verge of death is my brother! And in this kind of situation, if a Four Branch Qilin is able to suppress my Purple Unicorn Mansion and add insult to injury … "

Jiang Zizai had never been so worried in his life.

The one standing outside was his mother, but how could he be willing to let his mother fight against a bunch of villains!

"If, I can also take responsibility on my own …" He really hated it.

"Why is the heavens not willing to give me a chance!"

"Any Intrinsic Totem would be fine, I didn't need any in the past, but now, I do!"

Jiang Zizai looked up to the sky, his eyes blazing with fire.
