Start Checking In From the Sleeping Palace of the Empress Dowager - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Fortune In the Painting

The people of the Imperial Capital were all dumbfounded.

That was because the painting was opened, an extremely powerful and terrifying power erupted from within.

And once this power appeared, the torrential rain between Heaven and Earth suddenly stopped.

In the Imperial Capital, countless flowers, grass, and trees also surged with vigorous vitality at this moment.

In the peach forest in the north of the city, the peach blossoms that had already withered were once again in full bloom.

On the cherry blossom trees in the south of the city, the pink and white cherry blossoms were giving off a rich fragrance.

The countless lotus ponds had even bloomed for ten miles, their fragrance wafting in all directions.

There were also pear blossoms, trumpet flowers, man-eating flowers…

All living things were growing.

Strange phenomena were occurring.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock.

No one knew if they were shocked or confused.

In any case, it was hard for them to believe.

This painting was ridiculously strong.

Countless people were stunned.

At this moment, a rustling wind suddenly blew over.

Countless petals began to dance in the sky. There were cherry blossoms, lotus flowers, peach blossoms, pear blossoms…

Although the rain stopped, however, the rain of flowers rose in the air again.

It was as beautiful as a picture scroll.

However, in the rain of flowers, everyone’s expression changed.

That was because every petal was filled with the Sword Qi of life and death. It was terrifying and sharp.

It was as if it could cut through the void.

Hence, in the forbidden land of the Empire not far away.

Su Xiaorou’s gem-like pupils gradually shrank.

That was because she seemed to have seen the rain of flowers in front of her.

She thought for a moment and remembered.

It was a painting!

It was the painting that Lu Tianyu had painted!

Not long ago, the painting that Lu Tianyu had painted was the rain of flowers in the sky.

It was the same as the scenery before her eyes, except for the people and demons standing in the air.

Su Xiaorou could not help but be shocked.

She remembered that when Lu Tianyu had painted, she had asked him, “What is the use of this painting?”

Lu Tianyu had said to her at that time, “I don’t know how long this seclusion will take. If the Empire encounters any major crisis, this painting can resolve it.”

When Su Xiaoluo heard that, her cat’s belly was full of laughter, as if she was pregnant with a few kittens.

But until this moment…

Su Xiaorou knew that Lu Tianyu did not lie to her.

And this painting was a painting that Lu Tianyu used his peerless Martial Art, the Great Vitality Technique, as a brush.

Therefore, this painting contained a terrifying divine might.

Between Heaven and Earth, spiritual power began to surge rapidly.

Countless petals, like countless sharp blades, pierced straight towards the 150,000 Demonic Beast Army.

The petals were sharp and cold.

Under the terrified and shocked gazes of countless people, the 150,000 Demonic Beast Army was directly crushed into pieces.

Blood rained down from the sky.

The 150,000 Demonic Beast Army didn’t even have the time to let out a roar before they vanished into thin air.

In the blink of an eye, the 150,000 Demonic Beast Army was completely annihilated.

Li Shiquan’s face was deathly pale, and he was incomparably terrified.

His pupils violently contracted.

He looked at his 150,000 Demonic Beast Army in disbelief. In the blink of an eye, they were reduced to ashes, and his tiger body couldn’t help but tremble violently.

“How can this be?”

The next moment, Li Shiquan cried out in fear.

Then, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

He slowly lowered his head and saw a flower petal pierce through his heart.

His eyes were filled with deep fear and shock.

He never expected that he would die after appearing for only a few seconds.

“So, I’m just an extra…”

Li Shiquan realized it was too late.

His body fell down.

Then, he was turned into a rain of blood by countless petals.

Hence…

The 150,000 strong army of the Imperial Demon Dynasty…

No one survived.

It was like an autumn dream.

They woke up in a hurry, but nothing happened.

It was the same as before, repeating day after day, year after year of meaningless life.

Everyone was stunned on the spot. Their emotions fluctuated violently, and they were unable to speak for a long time.

The rain that had stopped suddenly started pouring again.

The patter of the rain washed away all the blood on the ground.

Not long after, the world was peaceful. The entire Imperial Capital had once again returned to peace and tranquility.

However, this time, no one could calmly look at this rain.

“There’s an expert in the Imperial Capital!”

A painting triggered the fortunes of the world.

The flying petals killed people.

The flower rain killed demons.

Together with the vigorous vitality, many people fell into a state of shock and speculation.

They were guessing who the peerless expert hiding in the Imperial Capital was.

It had to be an old man who was like a flower armor and had high moral standing…

After all, they knew that this peerless expert had long entered the third level of the Creation realm.

Thinking about it, he was already very old…

The rain was still falling.

Mo Hailong sat in the rain in a daze, no longer having his usual vitality.

“Why is it like this?”

“Why is it like this?”

Mo Hailong was in a daze.

He had planned for so long and thought that it would be foolproof, but he didn’t expect it to turn into ashes in the blink of an eye.

What was even more unbelievable was that the one that destroyed the 150,000 Demon Beast Army was only a painting…

This was hard for him to accept.

He was lost in his thoughts.

Then, not long after, many people suddenly walked into his mansion.

Han Gengnian brought people to Mo Hailong and said, “King Kang, His Majesty invites you.”

…

In the Imperial Palace.

Mo Hanxing looked at the scroll in his hand and revealed a tired and comfortable smile.

“Lu… Father, it’s all thanks to you.”

At this moment, Mo Hanxing was filled with gratitude towards Lu Tianyu. If it weren’t for him, the Demon God Empire would have fallen.

He was deeply impressed by Lu Tianyu’s terrifying strength.

At this moment, a eunuch walked over.

“Your Majesty, the civil and military officials are all here.”

“Mm, let’s go to court.”

Mo Hanxing nodded and rode to the front of the main hall.

“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”

“My beloved ministers, please rise!”

The civil and military officials began to discuss the matters of the future.

Now that the Imperial Demon Dynasty had been defeated, they could definitely extort some money.

All sorts of ideas were raised by the officials.

Finally, after the discussion, an official raised a question that everyone wanted to ask but didn’t dare to ask.

“Your Majesty, is that expert in the Imperial Capital?”

Mo Hanxing looked at that official expressionlessly and said faintly, “I’m tired. If you have something to report, report it next time.”

All the officials were silent.

In the end, they retreated.

To the front of Mo Hanxing, King Kang, Mo Hailong, was pushed in front of them.

…

King Kang was in prison.

This was a sensational thing, but with the suppression of Mo Hanxing, it did not cause a huge uproar.

Time was running out.

Before you knew it, a year had passed.

The imperial power was gradually restored.

The people lived and worked in peace.

The terrifying rain of flowers a year ago also gradually faded from people’s sight.

And a few months ago, Emperor Zhao died at the age of 18.

Passed down to the next Martial Emperor.

History said, Emperor Wu of Han.

A new era began.

This five-year-old little Emperor ascended the throne under the tutelage of his mother and Empress Dowager.

And in the forbidden area…

The door, which had not been opened for a year, was finally opened by a handsome man.
