The golden blood did not melt the puppet, but was absorbed by the puppet. The bronze rust on the puppet's body faded, revealing the lush white bones below.

Cai Wenshuang widened her eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

Only then did she realize that the skeletons of the previous dynasty royal family were actually sealed in the bodies of these puppets!

Li Zhao trembled and unveiled the secret edict, his voice was hoarse and almost inaudible. "The one who exchanged your father for the past was the last emperor of the previous dynasty..."

Xi Yu suddenly covered his chest and coughed violently. A mouthful of blood gushed out, dyeing his clothes red.

"So you deliberately awakened my bloodline?" Xi Yu's voice was hoarse, with a hint of despair and anger.

He looked up at Li Zhao,

Li Zhao did not answer, but just silently handed the secret edict to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu took the secret decree with trembling hands, opened it and looked at it, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"No..." he murmured to himself, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

Bai Li let out a sharp laugh and controlled the puppet to approach step by step.

“Now, it’s time to move on to the next step…”

The lid of the bronze tripod was lifted away, and dazzling light rushed in instantly. Xi Yu subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Li Zhao's appearance shocked him, surprised, confused, and fear intertwined.

Li Zhao held a yellowed scroll in his hand, with determination and tragic face on his face.

"Prime Minister, this is the secret edict that you hid in the Taimiao when you were seven years old!" Li Zhao's voice trembled, with irresistible excitement.

Just as Xi Yu received the secret edict, the ground began to shake, and a creepy sound came from the ground, like countless bugs crawling and gnawing.

Cai Wenshuang suddenly let out a low roar, she bit her finger and threw a drop of golden blood towards the puppet group.

The golden blood drew a graceful arc in the air and landed on the puppet, making a "sizzling" sound, like a fire encountering ice and snow.

However, a shocking scene happened.

The golden blood did not melt the puppet, but was absorbed by the puppet. The bronze rust on the puppet's body faded, revealing the lush white bones below.

Li Zhao did not answer, but just silently handed the secret edict to Xi Yu. Xi Yu took the secret edict with trembling hands, opened it and looked at it, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Suddenly, under Bai Li's instructions, countless puppets quickly reorganized to form a huge human-shaped statue, standing in front of them.

Every bronze skin of the colossus shines with strange light, as if it contains endless power.

In the eyes of the Colossus, a pair of deep pupils suddenly lit up, emitting a cold light.

"What the Tianji Wheel wants to swallow is not the imperial vein, it is..." Bai Li's voice echoed in the air, with a hint of sneer.

At this moment, a blue light shot out from the eyes of the colossus, and Xi Wujiang's remnant soul suddenly emerged from the colossus, with anger and reluctance on his face.

"You idiot! If it weren't for you..." Xi Wujiang's remnant soul roared, his voice full of resentment and anger, as if he was about to tear Baili into pieces.

Cai Wenshuang suddenly felt a powerful force surge out from her eyebrows, and a golden light flashed in her eyes.

Cai's father's remnant soul emerged from her eyebrows, with firmness and determination on her face.

"Go to Taimiao to get the Dragon Vein Soul-Suppressing Stone!" Cai's father's remnant soul shouted anxiously, his voice full of urgency and worry.

Xi Yu's eyes flashed back and forth between Cai Wenshuang and the Colossus, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.

He suddenly took out a jade pendant from his arms, which was a jade pendant full of green and emitting a faint light.

He took a deep breath and inserted the jade pendant into his heart.

"If you want to kill me, kill me, don't touch Wen Shuang's bloodline--" Xi Yu's voice was firm and powerful, but there was a hint of imperceptible tremor.

The Colossus' eyes became more fierce, and Bai Li's laughter became sharper, as if mocking Xi Yu's helplessness and despair.

At this critical moment, the situation fell into suspense and the fate of the characters was in danger.

"Boom--"

There was a loud bang, as if the entire imperial city had trembled.

Xi Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart. The jade pendant that was inserted into his heart was emitting dazzling light at this moment, resonating with some mysterious power.

He felt his blood boiling, and a strange memory fragment poured into his mind, causing him to have a split headache.

At this moment, a creepy "crack" sound came from the depths of the Taimiao, as if something was struggling to crawl out from the depths of the ground.

The ground began to crack, and deep cracks spread like spider webs. A decayed and cold breath came to my face, making people shudder.

"Ahem...ahhhh..."

A violent cough came from the crack, and then, an arm that was as dry as firewood and covered with corpse spots stretched out from the ground, grabbing the edge of the ground tightly.

Then, a hunched figure slowly crawled out from the ground.

It was a haggard old man wearing a ragged black robe covered with dust and spider webs, as if he had been buried underground for hundreds of years.

His cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets were pitch black, and there was a strange light flashing in his muddy eyes.

His skin was shriveled and tightly against the bones, like a dry mummy.

"You...you are not the prime minister..." The old man stared at Xi Yu tightly, his voice trembling hoarsely and trembling as if he was squeezed out from the depths of his throat, "You...you are..."

He seemed to want to say something, but when he spoke, he stopped abruptly, turbid

Before Xi Yu could react, a cold, sharp voice suddenly came from the depths of the ground, with endless resentment and madness:

"Brother...you are finally here!"

The sound seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, full of gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, making people shudder.

Hearing this sound, Xi Yu felt his whole body stiffen, and a chill rushed straight from the soles of his feet and head, making him feel like he fell into an ice cellar.

"Zi Yang?" Xi Yu exclaimed in surprise,

He remembers this name!

This is the name of his twin brother he has never met!

My mother once told him that Ziyang died at birth...but this sound...

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Cai Wenshuang suddenly exclaimed, her body was wrapped in golden chains, and the chains appeared out of thin air, emitting dazzling light, as if there was life, tightly bound her in the air.

"Ah--" Cai Wenshuang struggled in pain, but the chains became tighter and tighter, almost tying her into the flesh.

She felt that her bones were about to be broken and her breathing became more and more difficult.

"Wen Shuang!" Xi Yu's eyes were so bloody that he wanted to rush over to save her, but found that his body could not move either.

"Twenty years ago... your father and my father... were actually..." Zi Yang's voice sounded again, intermittently, as if telling a shocking secret.

Xi Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at the ground tightly, and a huge wave broke out in his heart.

A terrible thought emerged in his mind.

"So...you are...the real successor of twin bloodlines?!" His voice trembled, and he could hardly believe his inference.

Zi Yang's soul has now turned into a thick blood mist, covering the entire imperial city.

The blood mist rolled and surging, emitting a disgusting smell of blood and endless resentment.

" Back then... your mother... used my life... for it..." Zi Yang's voice echoed in the blood mist, and every word seemed to squeeze out from the gap of teeth, full of unforgettable hatred.

"What's the exchange for?!" Xi Yu asked anxiously, feeling that he seemed to have touched the brink of a shocking conspiracy.

At this critical moment, the Taimiao Coffin guard who had crawled out of the underground suddenly rushed towards Xi Yu and pressed him tightly on a circular stone platform in the center of the Taimiao.

That stone platform is the core of the dragon vein of the imperial city!

"Hurry! Use the blood contract... restart!" The coffin guard roared, his voice hoarse and urgent, "Otherwise... the Zhulong will swallow..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes suddenly burst, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body twitched violently.

Xi Yu felt a huge force pressing on him, making him unable to move.

He looked down and found that his chest was facing a sunken pattern on the core of the dragon vein.

The pattern was exactly the same as the jade pendant he inserted into his heart!

Blood slowly flowed into the sunken pattern along the edge of the jade pendant...

"It's not enough..." The hoarse voice of the coffin guard was like a rusty saw pulling Xi Yu's nerves, and every word was filled with suffocating despair.

His whole body trembled, his eyes covered with bloodshot, like a beast forced into a desperate situation, making his final struggle.
