Chapter 1087: Chapter 378: Ninth Heavenly Layer, Great Vehicle High Immortal!

.........

Imperial Capital Luoyang.

The battle for the throne has erupted.

Many members of the Zhang Tang Royal Family are gathering.

Among them are those who were originally in Luoyang, those who returned with Prince Zhao Zhang Teng from Chang’an, and those who later came to the Imperial Capital from various parts of Great Tang.

"The Crown Prince is the nation’s heir apparent, entrusted to oversee governance by imperial decree, always magnanimous and virtuous, what more is there to consider?" Princess Chang of Dongping, Zhang Qiongrong, shouted.

Deputy Minister Shangguan Qing and Princess Shanyang Zhang Ying were both silent.

Huixi King Zhang Zhicong, who had just arrived at the Imperial Capital, looked around: "Has His Majesty... the late emperor truly passed away?"

Zhang Qiongrong: "If the late emperor’s wounds weren’t truly heavy, how else could the Chang’an battle result like that?"

King Nanyang Zhang Zhi and his consort, Shangguan Jie, stood together and spoke up:

"It is too soon to determine His Majesty’s fate; we ought to exhaust our efforts to search and save him. However, Prince Zhao’s ambitions are wild; he must not be king. We should stabilize the country’s foundations first, and once the situation is stable, urge the Crown Prince to organize personnel to welcome back His Majesty."

Princess Zhang Wanying of Yuzhou and her husband Shangguan Zhe exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

Prince Xiang Zhang Luo asked: "What does the Great General say over there?"

King Zhang Yang of Chen Mountain slowly said: "Yun Bo and Jun Hai are searching for the sacred carriage together."

He glanced at everyone: "Although he hasn’t expressed his stance, it is clear he finds the result of the Chang’an battle suspicious."

King Zhang Zhicong of Huixi suddenly asked: "I heard that Celestial Master Mansion’s Master Yuan has also gone to Guanzhong. What is Celestial Master Mansion’s opinion?"

King Zhang Yang of Chen Mountain slowly said: "Master Yuan is acting together with the Great General."

The crowd nodded slightly.

Indeed, Prince Zhao Zhang Teng was somewhat rash...

"But some people have returned with Zhang Teng." Prince Han Zhang Chengyu opened his mouth.

The people present fell silent.

Prince Lu Ning Zhang Xiaohao, King Zhang Ji of Zhaoping, King Zhang Ming of Mucheng, all experts of the Zhang Tang Royal Family.

Furthermore, it was noticed by everyone present that other royal family members were standing on Prince Zhao’s side.

The Zhang Tang Royal Family was inevitably going to start an internal war.

The Honorable Lu family’s Lu Zhen and Shen Family’s Shen Jun exchanged a glance, their faces grim.

.........

Lei Jun travels north from the South Sea Shore, gathering news along the way.

The battle in Luoyang is fluctuating nonstop.

The two sides, following their remote contest over the Dragon Vein Earth Qi, began to engage in direct close combat.

Ye Yan, carrying the Great River Map, and Fang Jingsheng, carrying the Spring and Autumn Brush, helped Crown Prince Zhang Hui stabilize the situation.

Lately, Crown Prince Zhang Hui further undercut Prince Zhao Zhang Teng by revealing solid evidence of Zhang Teng previously harboring the foreign Martial Saint Bomo Ge and secretly allowing foreigners to invade on a large scale again, accusing him of studying foreign martial tactics.

Once this came out, there was an uproar inside and outside Luoyang.

Nowadays, in other areas, everything might ultimately be judged by skill and strength.

Only in the competition during the change of national fortune, public sentiment and morale are also parts of the real contest.

The news spread swiftly, already prepared in advance.

Prince Zhao Zhang Teng, who had gained much public favor by battling foreign enemies at the Northern Border and recently saving Chang’an from Luo Yuan Great Demon, saw his momentum suddenly decline sharply.

The situation in Luoyang started to tilt noticeably.

Lei Jun gradually approached the Zhongzhou area.

From afar, the skyline edge gleamed with white light, floating overhead.

Over in Luoyang, just like Chang’an, due to the convergence of Dragon Vein national fortune, an illusory Imperial Capital emerges over the real Luoyang City.

It is both the battlefield for their great confrontation and the focus of their contest.

Above Lei Jun, the Great Celestial Mirror hangs high above, its mirror light circulates.

In his eyes, the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript spins, showing various scenes partnered with the Great Celestial Mirror’s vision.

With his own cultivation improving, the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript paired with the Great Celestial Mirror provides a broader and more precise vision.

Although still distant from Luoyang City, Lei Jun now sees the illusory Imperial Capital in his view.

The Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, and Spirit Turtle, these four spiritual aspects, guard the four corners of the illusory Imperial Capital.

Besides the circulating aura of the Emperor’s majesty, abundant literary and cultural aura also pervades, the grand atmosphere and flourishing charm of a terrestrial utopia fully displayed.

Within the city, a fierce aura of iron horses and swords rises and falls constantly.

Lei Jun halted his steps, did not proceed, but gazed at the illusory Imperial Capital, pondering quietly.

A moment later, external stimulation suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Lei Jun collects his mind, releasing light beams from the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript in his eyes, projecting into the mid-air before him.

Within the light, some dark spots appeared, resembling ink marks.

Intertwined ink marks formed into some words.

The message was simple, consisting only of a place name:

Jade Railing Mountain.

Lei Jun raised an eyebrow slightly.

He is not very familiar with this place, but remembers glancing at it previously in the Edict Hall’s archives and maps, presumably located in Jizhou.

This message came from the Cangzhou Ye Clan’s Seeing the Words as if Seeing the Person Technique.

The transmission was intercepted by Lei Jun and kept.

At this critical juncture, the focus is undoubtedly on Luoyang.

All of the Great Tang Dynasty’s top experts are concentrated there.

At this point, the sudden mention of an unremarkable place like Jade Railing Mountain by the Cangzhou Ye Clan seemed quite unusual.

Ye Moquan should not play a casual piece at this moment.

Lei Jun was considering whether to proceed near Luoyang or take a look at Jade Railing Mountain, but then a ball of light suddenly flickered in his mind.

[Strong branches, weak trunk, the guest turns host.]

This was followed by three prophecy verses flying out.

Lei Jun read them, feeling increasingly intrigued:
