Your Highness!
"You should tell your people how you passed the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation!"
The Prime Minister in purple robes suddenly stepped forward and spoke loudly.
His eyes were piercing, staring straight at Zhou Ran, his gaze like a sharp knife!
These words were meant for him.
Zhou Ran's expression subtly changed.
The Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation!
The crowd erupted in uproar.
This Formation is of great significance; it was created by our ancestral emperors specifically to distinguish Formation loyal and treacherous officials.
The loyal minister charged into battle and survived.
Traitors are destined to perish in battle!
A true warrior dares to face the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation, and pass through unscathed!
Zhou Ran's face darkened, his eyelids narrowed, and he coldly sneered, "You think you can just say it and call it a day? Where's the evidence?"
The Second Heavenly Venerable immediately shouted arrogantly, "You haven't given up your wicked intentions! Do you still want to confuse right and wrong and deceive the people?!"
"Exactly, you say you went there, but what proof do you have?"
"Why don't we have him go through it again!"
"That's torture! Even if you don't die, you'll be severely injured!"
The people started discussing it.
When Xu Chengming mentioned the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation," many people began to waver.
In the history of the Heavenly Dog Clan, only nine people have successfully passed the battle.
They can be considered great loyal ministers whose names will be remembered in history.
Therefore, no one would question the authority of the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation.
Now!
As long as you produce evidence!
More people will then lean towards Zhou Jin!
Zhou Ran's tense nerves gradually relaxed. Back then, within the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation, there were only him, Zhou Jin, the Second Heavenly Venerable, and Zhou Jin's personal guards.
But his personal guards were also his men!
That's why when he tricked Zhou Jin into going to the palace, the guards turned against him, deliberately creating chaos to make the clansmen think that the King Kan was going to rebel!
Zhou Jin refused to accept this and volunteered to pass through the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation.
pity!
Everyone present, except for him, was on Zhou Ran's side!
Xu Chengming glanced at Zhou Jin with concern.
evidence?
Where can we find evidence?
The witness is just an enemy; an enemy is unlikely to testify.
Moreover, the injuries His Highness sustained in the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation were healed by the vast Spiritual Qi of Xuanji Mountain.
The situation is critical!
unless...
It can turn back time, taking us back to that day!
The Prime Minister in purple robes also frowned slightly; he hadn't expected Zhou Ran to launch his attack from this angle.
This was a huge oversight!
Countless people stared at Zhou Jin, their gazes sharp as needles.
Oh!
Zhou Jin lowered his head and chuckled softly. The wind blew his bangs across his forehead, giving him a desolate air, like a lone pine tree on a cliff.
hehe!
Hehehe!
He laughed more and more wildly, his laughter sending chills down people's spines!
"You need evidence? I have some."
Zhou Jin looked up and stared calmly at Zhou Ran. The ease with which he seemed to have a backup plan made Zhou Ran's teeth chatter!
His eyes widened instantly.
Is there evidence?
snort!
He wanted to see what his good brother could offer!
Zhou Jin raised his palm. "I cultivate the Great Dao of Time, my dear brother, you seem to have overlooked something, haven't you?"
The Great Dao of Space and Time can manipulate time, making it incredibly easy to retrieve past events.
Zhou Ran's face turned pale.
He forced himself to remain calm and said nonchalantly, "Then let the tribesmen see."
You've brought this upon yourself, so don't blame me.
Zhou Jin smiled dismissively.
He waved his sleeve, and a huge crimson light screen appeared in the air.
Inside the screen, endless red clouds surged, dispersing in all directions to reveal a clear dynamic image.
In the video, inside a vast hall, Zhou Ran and the Second Heavenly Venerable stand on a high platform, while Zhou Ran stands below, surrounded by a fully armed army wielding long swords.
His personal guards huddled to one side, throwing down their swords and kneeling on the ground, looking as if they were about to be slaughtered.
Zhou Jin, you're going to rebel!
"I have been wronged! Why have you framed me!"
"Don't blame the guards; they must have been authorized by you to dare to be so audacious!"
"Brother..."
"You dare call me 'Imperial Brother' when you intend to usurp my throne?!"
"I did not!"
"The evidence is conclusive, are you still going to try to deny it?"
"My conscience is clear! If my elder brother does not believe me, I am willing to pass through the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation to prove my innocence!"
After a heated exchange...
The camera pans.
A massive array, radiating crimson light, slowly activated.
As Zhou Jin stepped inside, eerie sounds howled, and countless cold, deadly swords gathered in the air, forming circles around him!
Zhou Ran took a step forward.
laugh!
A fierce sword light pierced through his body!
Blood splattered everywhere in an instant.
He swayed slightly, then continued walking forward.
laugh!
laugh!
With every step he took, Dao Sword pierced through his body!
Soon, blood stained the white robes!
Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his wounds ached, his legs felt weak, and his vision became increasingly blurry.
But he cannot fall!
Once you pass through the Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation," you can prove your innocence.
He walked a total of three thousand steps.
Every step is stained with tears.
He took a total of three thousand Sword Qi.
Every sword strike is merciless.
Seeing his hunched figure, staggering steps, and body riddled with arrows, even the clansmen watching from outside the screen felt their hair stand on end!
The Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation passed, and Zhou Jin was still alive. The power to distinguish loyalty from treachery left by the emperor had not killed him, as he was protected by the aura of loyalty!
This is the strongest evidence!
More and more members of the clan believed in Zhou Jin.
Their trust in Zhou Ran gradually began to crumble.
"Half a lifetime dedicated to the country, only to be met with the emperor's suspicion. The Eternal Loyalty and Treachery Formation has passed through the ages. Zhou Ran, what do you have to say?!"
Zhou Jin's gaze was cold and piercing.
"So His King Kan was wronged!"
"He's your own brother! His Majesty is so heartless!"
"Since taking office, you have acted arbitrarily, engaging in endless wars and militarism. Now, beset by internal and external troubles, you are attacked from both sides, and the people live in fear. Zhou Ran, are you leading the Heavenly Dog Clan to its doom?"
" Zhou Ran, step aside!"
" Zhou Ran, step aside!"
The crowd erupted in angry remarks.
The Heavenly Dog Clan values loyalty, benevolence, and martial prowess most, but Zhou Ran is neither benevolent nor righteous, and while he is skilled in martial arts, he lacks the ability to expand his territory. Such an emperor is unqualified!
"He used his spiritual power to deceive you! The truth is that Zhou Jin forced the emperor to abdicate; he wanted to assassinate him!"
A bead of cold sweat rolled down Zhou Ran's forehead.
He was somewhat exasperated.
He quietly instructed Lie Feng to summon the army.
These people have rebelled!
They must be suppressed!
Furthermore, they had to use rhetoric to deal with Zhou Jin and the others, buying time for Lu Xiuluo.
Waiting for Zhou Zhulu to revive...
This was his final moment to turn the tide!
The Fierce God Pool.
Lu Xiuluo entered the cave. The stones here were purplish-black and had a pungent, fishy stench, like dried, thick blood.
He and the Blood Devil continued walking in and saw a red pool ten feet wide. Two thick black iron chains, as thick as a strong man's waist, stretched into the pool. One end of the chains had a huge hook that was deeply embedded in the mountain wall.
The iron chains were covered with red soul-suppressing diagrams, emanating a terrifying aura and forming a powerful suppressive force.
There are also soul-suppressing images on the surface of the Fierce God Pool.
With layers of suppression, Zhou Zhulu will surely be doomed!
"Would you like to go out?"
Lu Xiuluo stood before the Fierce God Pool, smiling calmly.
The pool lay still and slumbering.
Sudden...
The water churned and splashed wildly.
Splash!
The two soul-suppressing chains rattled loudly.
It was as if someone was frantically tearing at the chains from the bottom of the deep water.
Lu Xiuluo smiled.
Holding the Ancestral Buddha Relic, he said, "I am the Demon King of the Devil Grotto. I have come to resurrect you. Don't be impatient."
As he spoke, his demonic claws descended.
thump!
The Ancestral Buddha Relic fell into the Fierce God Pool!
Behind Lu Xiuluo, the Blood Devil's eyes twitched for a moment.
That relic was a reward given to him by the Heavenly Ranking, but this guy cruelly took it from him before...
