Chapter 657: A Lesson for Emperor Zhu Ruidi

Grand Duke Wu Xuanke did not answer the emperor's question. He turned around with a solemn expression and walked out the door.

Emperor Zhu Ruidi followed closely behind him, his heart rate rising sharply. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, repeating this three times before he calmed down.

Grand Duke Wu Xuanke walked out of the study without stopping.

Instead, he kept changing his hands, as if looking for a direction.

He walked and stopped, and walked out of the palace at a brisk pace.

The palace was so big that Wu Xuanke could walk dozens of meters in one step, and his speed was comparable to that of a sports car on Earth.

He ran for an hour at this speed.

This amount of exercise was nothing for Emperor Zhu Ruidi.

He was a junior demon lord, and he cast a floating spell on himself and followed easily.

But the 100-year-old Wu Xuanke was a little embarrassed.

He did not practice magic or fighting spirit, but the secret witchcraft of the witch clan. His speed was not slow, but it could not last long.

An hour of high-speed running made him out of breath. If it weren't for the help of Emperor Zhu Ruidi, he would have collapsed half an hour ago.

But these were not the focus of their attention.

Because all their minds were shocked by the strange scene in the sky.

In this hour, Wu Xuanke calculated eighteen directions, but no matter how he walked, the gray cloud above his head always followed.

"The gray cloud covers my eyes, like a shadow, blocking me from peeping into the secrets of heaven. This is a great omen!"

"Your Majesty, I will use the Wu Xing Yun Hai formation to tell you a lesson!"

"What?"

Emperor Zhu Ruidi was shocked.

The Wu Xing Yun Hai formation has been prepared for many years, and Wu Xuanke has never used it so far in this generation.

According to the secret book of the palace, a thousand years ago, on the eve of the invasion of the dark clan, the continent suddenly changed, and strange phenomena appeared in empires of different levels.

The spiritual herbs in the large medicinal garden died, and the weeds in the fields emitted black gas.

The forests and swamps where the monsters gathered were in chaos. The monsters were like crazy, their pupils turned white, and they ran to the town, eating any living thing they saw.

People on the continent began to panic about these terrifying signs.

But no one found out the reason.

So, a saint came forward to ask the witches to spy on the secrets of heaven.

The great sage of the witches at that time used the Wuxing Yunhai formation.

The great sage spied out a hint of the secrets of heaven, but also paid with his life.

His death is worthy of respect, and it also bought time for those saints in advance and made some preparations.

Before the great sage died, he told his descendants that it was not allowed to use the Wuxing Yunhai formation unless it was absolutely necessary.

At the same time, he also told his descendants that some visions, even if the Wuxing Yunhai formation was used, could not reveal the secrets of heaven.

After all, the witches are not omnipotent. There are too many unknown things in this world. Some people and some things cannot be calculated!

"Grand Duke Wu Xuanke, is the situation so serious?"

Emperor Zhu Ruidi frowned, his temples throbbing, and asked in shock.

"Yes!"

Grand Duke Wu Xuanke said decisively.

"Your Majesty, has anything happened recently?"

"Let's start with what your Majesty thinks is the most important thing."

"The most important thing?"

Emperor Zhu Ruidi thought for a moment, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"The most important thing is to prepare for the anniversary of my son Zhu En."

Wu Xuanke was stunned on the spot after hearing this.

He looked at His Majesty the Emperor with a strange look.

"Your Majesty, you...you seem to be doing something wrong, right? The anniversary is a ceremony for the ancestors..."

"Oh, Grand Duke Wu Xuanke, you misunderstood, I just sent someone to catch a girl to bury my son."

"Who is that girl?"

Wu Xuanke asked here, and his eyelids suddenly jumped wildly.
