Chapter 380

It was already late at night in the mansion of the Huangfu Clan in Luoyang, but soldiers from all directions were still coming and going in an endless stream.

Ever since the incident at the coronation ceremony, the imperial court had sent out eighteen armies to search for traces of the Tyrant and his gang with the imperial city as the center for hundreds of miles.

At the same time, the damage to the new palace was still being checked and salvaged. Inside the Huangfu Clan's mansion, there was even more wailing.

A group of royal relatives were either weeping around the corpses of their dead relatives, or weeping bitterly because of serious injuries or disabilities, cursing and cursing that damned villain.

Huangfu Wuji was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a chair, listening to the reports from the people he had sent out. His expression was extremely gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, our Heavenly Mirror Mansion has divided our forces to search everywhere, and we've captured all suspicious people near the palace, but we still haven't found any traces of the villain, Gu Chen."

A commander of the Heavenly Mirror Mansion said in a trembling voice.

"Lord God of the Underworld, our spies from all over the Underworld God Palace have sent urgent secret reports. Ever since the White Tyrant caused havoc in the Nine Prefectures, there have been rebellions of varying degrees!"

An Underworld God Guard of the Underworld God Palace had a tense expression.

Huangfu Wuji listened quietly, his fists subconsciously clenched. The entire hall was filled with a gloomy murderous aura, causing everyone to feel as if they were walking on thin ice, fearing that the new emperor would vent his anger on them in a fit of rage.

At this time, the Man with a bamboo hat strode in from outside the hall. Huangfu Wuji raised his head and looked at him, his face expressionless.

"How's the investigation?" he asked.

The Man with a bamboo hat's pair of will-o '-wisps flickered, and his tone was stern. "Reporting to Lord God of the Underworld, this subordinate has already carefully investigated the cause of the explosion in the palace, and has also examined the corpses of many members of the royal family. It can be clearly determined that Gu Chen has a large number of powerful weapons in his hands."

"The palace was heavily guarded, and the reason why it was instantly destroyed was because the enemy had placed powerful forbidden weapons in different parts of the palace! The lethality of these forbidden artifacts is extremely rare, and their concealment ability is also extremely high. According to the Thousand Smelting Saint Sect's refiners, even if they were to investigate the palace beforehand, it would still be difficult to discover the existence of these forbidden artifacts. "

"As for the forbidden talisman that killed a large number of the imperial family's disciples in the Imperial City Square, its craftsmanship is also extremely exquisite and complicated. This kind of forbidden talisman controls the power of the explosion to an extremely small area, bringing about perfect lethality, but not too wide."

The Man with a bamboo hat paused for a moment. "Considering the rare lethality of these weapons and the death of your fourth son, Huangfu De, I'm afraid …"

"I'm afraid that bastard obtained the Armament Armory!"

Huangfu Wuji gritted his teeth and said. He had already guessed the truth of the matter.

"That's right. It's rumored that the one who possesses the Armament Armory of the King of Implements can rule the world. Now that the Armament Armory has fallen into the hands of the Tyrant, things are not looking good!"

The Man with a Bamboo Hat analyzed. "Today, the Overlord appeared by means of Spatial Projection. As far as I know, he is not proficient in Spatial Magic. This means that he has an expert in this field around him. With this kind of person around, the difficulty of capturing him has greatly increased. "

"Apart from this, we know nothing about the companions around him today. He is not fighting alone. Who knows, there might already be some remnants of the Celestial Court gathered under him."

"Right now, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. The Overlord has nothing to fear. We need to be careful of the Heavenly Execution Order that he mentioned. Furthermore, today's matter will definitely cause some very bad effects. Various forces might become restless because of this. My Lord, you need to make preparations early. "

The Man with a bamboo hat's long speech clearly analyzed the current situation, causing Huangfu Wuji's anger to subside slightly and calm down.

"Looks like we need to get rid of this kid as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will spoil our plans!"

His intelligence once again took the upper hand, and his eyes flickered. "Pass down my orders. Summon all of the famous Divination Masters in the Nine Provinces. I want to use the fastest speed to divine the location of this Gu Chen!"

"My Lord, have you forgotten? The Heavenly Tyrannical Bone Physique is special. Not only you, even that Gu Chen cannot be deduced by others using Divination Arts. "

The Man with a bamboo hat reminded Huangfu Wuji.

"Of course I know this. Even if I can't divine his location, I can divine the location of others, right? For example, his mother, Shen Yu Shu! As long as we find his mother, capturing him is only a matter of time! "

Huangfu Wuji laughed sinisterly.

Originally, because he had a need for the various Confucian Sects, and that Shen Yu Shu was just a weak woman, he had never paid attention to her.

But now, that surviving member of the Gu Clan had completely infuriated him. Even if he had to resort to any means, he had to drag him out.

And this Shen Yu Shu would be a breakthrough point!

"Haha Jie, my Lord is brilliant. This is indeed a good idea. However, ever since the Jiang Clan was exterminated, those Divination Masters have been disobedient, and the Divination Masters that are obedient aren't very good. I'm afraid that it will take a lot of time. "

The Man with a bamboo hat laughed weirdly.

At the mention of this matter, the haze on Huangfu Wuji's face gathered once more. He had seized the Astrology Game Fate Hand from the Jiang Clan's old prophet. Originally, he already possessed the ability to predict the future and turn misfortunes into blessings. However, this ability had been sealed by the Heavenly Emperor using the Heavenly Scripture.

If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't need to borrow the power of the other Divination Masters. Even if he still had the Divination Master's ability, Gu Chen's trick today wouldn't have succeeded, and he would have been captured long ago!

"Speed up as much as possible. I want to capture that brat as soon as possible!"

Huangfu Wuji's mind was in a mess. He waved his hand and dismissed the Man with a bamboo hat. He then ordered his subordinates to call Shen Xudong in.

When Shen Xudong stepped into the Huangfu Clan's main hall, the eyes of many Huangfu Clan members present turned red.

"Father, Shen Xudong is the grandfather of that surviving member of the Gu Clan. We should capture him! Use him to force that bastard to show himself! "

Huang Fu Ren gnashed his teeth and said. His entire body was heavily injured, and his face had been completely destroyed. When he spoke, his appearance was shocking.

However, his situation could be considered good. Those who were unlucky had already died.

His words caused many of the clansmen to feel a common hatred for a common enemy. They all urged to capture Shen Xudong!

"Your Highness, the Third Prince, is too serious. Although that Gu Chen is related to the Old Man by blood, Your Majesty knows that he has never had any connection with our Shen Clan since he was young. Our Shen Clan is loyal and will wholeheartedly support the new Emperor. I hope that Your Majesty can see through the minutest details! "

Shen Xudong bowed deeply to Huangfu Wuji.

Huangfu Wuji looked at this old fellow with a gloomy and uncertain expression.

Honestly speaking, even if the entire Shen Clan was annihilated, it wouldn't be able to resolve the hatred in his heart. However, he had just stabilized his position and was in urgent need of help from the various factions of the Confucian Faction.

Shen Xudong's prestige in the Imperial Court was very heavy. It was because of his presence that he, the new Emperor, was able to quickly stabilize his position from the central government to the local governments.

He was very clear that this old man wasn't satisfied with him, but because he cared more about the peace and tranquility of the common people, he was willing to cooperate with him.
