Chapter 225: [224] The Mysterious Palace is Disturbed

Beiting City.

The Political Council Building.

This flying sled carried an incredibly powerful impact force and crashed into the three-meter-tall main hall doors without hesitation.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion was heard.

The two metal doors, beautifully carved with patterns, instantly deformed severely, and then they were knocked off the door frame and heavily slammed onto the ground.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two consecutive explosions.

The sled car continued to rush into the exquisitely decorated spacious hall, rubbing against the smooth and shiny stone floor, making a harsh "squeaking" sound.

Due to the extraordinary strength of the sled car's protection, it withstood the violent impact, and only the front of the car showed slight deformation.

The coachman, Lian Lie, sat steadily in the driver's seat, with an expression of calmness in the face of changes.

The other three passengers were also calm.

"Phew!"

A large amount of snow dust poured into the hall with the strong wind.

This sudden impact happened too abruptly, and dozens of government officials had not had time to evacuate.

They looked over at the sound, their faces filled with horror and shock, as they watched the sled car continue to slide forward.

Oh my god!

This is too arrogant!

Too arrogant!

Since the establishment of Beiting City hundreds of years ago, this is the first time such a shocking incident of "crashing into the Political Council Building" has occurred.

For a moment.

The calmness of the perpetrator and the shock of the onlookers formed an extremely distinct contrast.

Winter Garden.

Cheng Han grinned and said, "Maybe I should give the sled car a name, how about 'He Nan Ren Hao'?"

Driving a car into the Political Council Building openly, even knocking down the main doors, this is simply a crazy provocation against the authorities, something even the followers of the Divine Beings dare not do.

But Cheng Han dared!

He was afraid that things would be too small-scale, so naturally, the more sensational, the better.

Besides.

Life in the other world is so boring, you have to find some fun, right?

Beiting City.

"Squeak~"

Due to the resistance, the speed of the sled car's slide became slower and slower.

The people in the hall finally reacted.

A loud shout immediately rang out, "Charge!"

The person shouting was another member of the Black Armor Army, named Ma Xianglin.

The other team of Black Armor soldiers stationed in the hall, as well as more than ten guards, immediately rushed from all directions.

At this moment, there were many people in the hall, and most of them were civilian officials. In order to avoid causing accidental injuries, they did not throw weapons.

Just then.

Lian Lie suddenly shouted loudly, "In the name of fate!"

Three other passengers chimed in unison, saying, "We are about to witness it!"

At this moment.

A terrible thing happened.

Their bodies, unexpectedly exploded all at once.

This was an explosion in the physical sense.

"Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by several muffled sounds, the three of them instantly burst into a large spray of blood.

"Ah~"

Such a terrifying scene caused a sudden outbreak of screams in the hall.

Marshal Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he shouted a new order, "Everyone, step back and do not approach!"

Even fools could see that the explosion of living people was most likely an extremely evil means. If they rashly approached, they would most likely be involved.

The next moment.

An even more horrifying thing happened.

Countless blood-red vines suddenly emerged from the blood spray, tightly entwining together, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a section of tree trunk.

The surface texture was exactly the same as real trees.

The difference was that the surface of this section of tree trunk was a bright blood-red color, which was frightening to look at.

A strong smell of blood quickly spread to every corner of the hall under the cold wind.

Then.

The blood-red tree trunk began to rapidly expand.

Originally about the size of an adult's waist, in just two breaths, it swelled to a thickness of five meters.

At such a speed, it was faster than blowing up a balloon.

"Poof! Poof!"

From the lower part of the blood-red tree trunk, hundreds of red roots suddenly shot out.

They easily broke through the hard stone floor and deeply rooted themselves, no more difficult than drilling into tofu.

Twenty meters away.

Marshal Zheng watched with a horrified expression and shouted another command, "Destroy this tree!"

Although he didn't know what this blood tree was planning to do, he felt that destroying this tree would not be wrong.

"Woo~ Woo~"

A burst of piercing screams erupted.

Six short spears swept past, easily piercing into the blood-red tree trunk.

Marshal Zheng's expression changed repeatedly, first showing joy, then becoming very ugly.

Because the explosive force contained in the short spears was absorbed before it could erupt, and the connection between the spirit and the short spears disappeared.

This was truly beyond his understanding and made him deeply aware that the blood tree was not something his side had the ability to deal with.

Marshal Zheng looked around and decisively shouted, "Evacuate all personnel."

As soon as the words fell.

The blood-red tree trunk underwent another change.

It rapidly grew upwards, soaring to a height of only fifteen meters in an instant, with its tip touching the ceiling of the hall.

The trunk also grew numerous branches, each branch covered in blood-red leaves.

At a glance.

A lush blood tree stood prominently in the center of the hall.

However.

The situation was not yet over.

Lian Lie had been hiding behind the tree trunk all along, suddenly shouting in a lamenting tone, "In the name of fate, calamity shall befall!"

"Bang!"

Another sound.

Lian Lie also exploded.

Amidst the mist of blood.

A ferocious blood-colored snake head emerged, slithering up along the tree trunk, its blood-colored snake body, over ten meters long, tightly coiling around the blood tree trunk.

One second later.

The blood snake stopped moving.

This disgusting scene of the blood tree and blood snake froze in place.

From this point on.

Everything finally calmed down.

It must be said.

This scene looked indescribably eerie and terrifying.

Everyone present who witnessed the blood tree and blood snake felt a chill down their spines. Some timid individuals dared not look again after just one glance.

*

Winter Garden.

Cheng Han admired his "masterpiece" and smirked in satisfaction, "If the authorities can't see such an obvious hint, they might as well eat shit."

The source of this "creative idea" was actually a giant statue in the Netherworld depicting a giant snake entwined around a giant tree.

He personally felt that these statues were highly meaningful and the theme was easily understandable, so he decisively "borrowed" from them.

*

Beiting City.

The cavalry was staring at the blood tree, completely dumbfounded.

He recalled certain rumors circulating in Heishan Camp, and his heart thumped, his expression becoming extremely serious.

Could this extremely terrifying blood tree be referring to the Divine Banyan?

The cavalry took a deep breath and shouted a series of orders without hesitation, "Isolate the scene, prohibit anyone from approaching the hall!

"Anyone who has seen this tree, gather them all and isolate them.

"Report to the Xuan Pavilion and Heishan Camp, and inform the Grand Chancellor while you're at it!"

Soon after.

The Grand Chancellor of Beiting City, Antong, hurriedly entered the hall.

This middle-aged official in his fifties looked solemnly at the blood tree and spoke with a hint of doubt, "Cavalry, do you really think the blood tree is referring to the Divine Banyan?"

The cavalry nodded, "Of course."

Antong asked again, "What does the blood snake represent? And what does the phrase 'calamity shall befall' shouted by the deceased mean?"

The cavalry hesitated for a moment before answering, "I don't know! I think they should be foretelling some kind of disaster."

Although many people now know that the ancient gods have been revived, the name "Snake of Sin and Life" is still classified information.

Very few people within the entire Tai'an Spiritual Realm are aware of it.

Antong remained silent.

From the expression on his face, it was clear that he didn't fully believe these words.

Matters involving the Divine Banyan were of utmost importance, not to be taken lightly even by top experts. And Tai'an was just a small place, how could such a thing happen here?

After a few seconds.

A black-armored soldier ran over, urgently reporting, "A reply has come from the Xuan Pavilion. Qinghan Xuan Palace will send people over..."

The mention of "Xuan Palace" in this sentence surprised Antong.

My goodness!

Even the Xuan Palace has been alarmed?

At the same time.

Anton felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Just now, he didn't believe it, but he was immediately proven wrong.

Fortunately, he didn't voice his doubts, otherwise it would have been quite embarrassing.

The Black Armor soldiers continued, "The Xuan Pavilion has also issued an order to immediately isolate the entire building, no one is allowed to leave."

The cavalry quickly ordered, "Notify the other Black Armor squads in this city to cooperate in implementing the isolation order, and inform the Patrol Department to be responsible for isolating the surrounding area."

"Yes!"

The soldier responded and immediately went to work.

Anton looked at the Blood Tree and couldn't help but sigh, "It's going to be a big problem."

The cavalry nodded, "I'm afraid even the Xuan Palace won't be able to contain this matter."

This time, Anton didn't doubt anymore, "It's possible."

*

Winter Garden.

Cheng Han watched the "live broadcast" and was slightly surprised, "The Xuan Palace has intervened so quickly? The official response is faster than I expected!"

He took out a small wooden puppet from his pocket and threw it to the ground.

The secret thread of the puppet just now was used as a "relay".

Before the Xuan Palace intervened, he had to quickly deal with loose ends to avoid exposing his tracks.

This was a necessary security measure.

A gray shadow appeared out of thin air, quickly wriggled, and swallowed the puppet in one gulp.

A childish voice appeared in his mind, with a hint of complaint, "Cheng Han, this little thing is much worse than a snake."

It was the Gourmet Lord.

The next sentence from the childish voice carried a hint of longing, "Next time you see something delicious, remember to call me!"

Cheng Han quickly replied with his consciousness, "Okay!"

The childish voice seemed to have mastered the skill of "being a good person", "You are a good person!"

The corner of Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

In the past, he preferred to use the Illusory Shadows, the "Eternal Darkness Origin" of the other world, to deal with garbage.

However, Cheng Han always felt that the Trash Lord, Gagamda, who ruled the other world, seemed a bit sinister.

Every time he dealt with the other party, he felt a little uneasy.

In comparison.

The Gourmet Lord had no ulterior motives.

Now that he had connected with Eternal Hunger, Cheng Han preferred to use it to deal with garbage.

The method was simple.

Just leave a bit of Dark Light Power, and the Gourmet Lord would be happy to eat it.

Because Dark Light Power represented the law of "darkness", which happened to be more in line with the Gourmet Lord's attributes.

*

In the adjacent rest room.

Two beautiful maids, separated by a transparent glass wall, occasionally glanced at the Chief of the Department, always waiting for his orders.

The two of them had no idea that an incredibly terrifying existence had briefly appeared next door and secretly glanced at them.

They also had no idea that death had brushed past them.

If it weren't for Cheng Han's sake, the Gourmet Lord wouldn't mind adding them to the menu.
