Strength, further enhanced.

His entire body was filled with power.

Fang Yue's strength had already far surpassed martial artists of the same realm, but his cultivation realm was holding him back.

Therefore, in the eyes of other martial artists, cross-realm kills were almost impossible, but for Fang Yue, they were commonplace.

At the same time, because of these cross-realm kills, the rewards also increased exponentially.

With the crazy increase in attributes, Fang Yue's strength naturally progressed rapidly.

However, because his strength grew too quickly, he also clearly felt that his control over his power was somewhat out of control, not as smooth as before.

This was the result of insufficient accumulation.

Under normal circumstances, there should be a steady rise in strength and realm, accumulating power before releasing it.

But Fang Yue's current situation was like riding a rocket, with rapid growth, and his control, cultivation, and mastery of power were all shallow.

Fang Yue couldn't solve this situation in a short period of time. He could only rely on time to grind it down, to accumulate, before he could regain control of his power.

After killing You Xiaomao and the Black Blood Ghouls, Fang Yue didn't stay where he was. Instead, he went to the meeting point agreed upon with Wei Ba (Tail).

He had been chased by You Xiaomao earlier, and Wei Ba had temporarily separated from him, agreeing on a meeting point.

Fang Yue should have gone there as soon as he got rid of You Xiaomao, but seeing the Black Blood Ghouls still wreaking havoc and attacking the common people, Fang Yue cleaned them up along the way.

Unexpectedly, before Fang Yue could kill all the Black Blood Ghouls, they suddenly seemed to receive some signal and rushed in the same direction.

That direction was You Xiaomao's direction, and they were eaten by You Xiaomao one by one, becoming You Xiaomao's power.

Now that he had killed You Xiaomao, it could be considered a solution to the problem, and no other Black Blood Ghouls should appear.

The place agreed upon with Wei Ba was an inn quite far from these few streets.

But strangely, when Fang Yue arrived at the inn, he only saw the ruins and wreckage of the inn.

There were many injured people on the ground, either crushed by the ruins of the inn or scratched.

Fang Yue was about to step forward to ask when someone grabbed his hand.

"Brother Yue, I'm here."

Looking back, it was indeed Wei Ba, wearing his Black Mist Cloak.

"Wei Ba, what's going on in the capital..."

"Brother Yue, this isn't the place to talk. Let's find another place."

Wei Ba seemed to know something. Fang Yue didn't hesitate and followed Wei Ba away.

Arriving at a deserted place, Wei Ba slowly said.

"Brother Yue, you know that the Fifth Imperial Princess is the one behind my actions, right? To be honest, those Black Blood Ghouls today were actually the Fifth Imperial Princess's doing. She once showed me this thing. I just didn't expect her to make a move so quickly."

"The Fifth Imperial Princess? What does she want to do? Releasing ghouls in the capital, is she crazy!"

Fang Yue's expression was a little unsightly. Was it really a case of the emperor's sons fighting, and the people suffering?

If it weren't for him today, the people on those few streets would probably have ended up in the stomachs of the Black Blood Ghouls.

"She said she wanted to deal with the Fourth Imperial Prince, using the Fourth Imperial Prince as a breakthrough to start the Nine Dragons Seizing the Throne battle!"

"Before, the nine imperial princes and princesses were just making small troubles. Everyone had a bottom line and didn't dare to mess around."

"But since the [Heavenly Devouring] phenomenon appeared, even the Eighth and Ninth Imperial Princes, who had the least presence, have begun to make obvious moves. Not to mention the other imperial princes."

"Obviously, they all want to take advantage of [Heavenly Devouring] to do something. And the Fifth Imperial Princess approached me to get the support of the Extreme Ice Sect. As the price of the transaction, she also showed sincerity and showed me many hidden backhands."

"The Black Moon Organization is one of her hidden strengths."

Fang Yue frowned.

"The Black Moon Organization?"

"They are the Black Blood Ghouls you just encountered. They were originally human believers, worshiping the... [Heavenly Devouring] phenomenon. They can be said to be very low-key on weekdays, only occasionally appearing in the capital, letting people know that such an organization exists.

But after the [Heavenly Devouring] phenomenon appeared, they began to become active and quickly showed extraordinary influence. Although the Fifth Imperial Princess is operating behind the scenes, the organization itself is also very unusual."

"How so?"

"Rumor has it that the Moon Lord of the Black Moon Organization, that is, the leader of the organization, is likely to be a person who survived the [Heavenly Devouring] era. Some people also say that the Moon Lord is a powerful ghoul, and the Black Moon Organization is just a spy organization infiltrated by ghouls into humans."

Fang Yue frowned.

If the Moon Lord was a person who survived the last [Heavenly Devouring] era, that would be at least two eras ago!

That is, the era thousands of years ago when Fairy Mei Yu was still active, and other closed beta players still existed.

That should be… impossible, right?

Fang Yue felt that the other rumor was more likely, after all, the subordinates of the Black Moon Organization had all turned into Black Blood Ghouls and were still wreaking havoc in the city.

"Brother Yue, before you came, I secretly looked at the nearby areas. The entire eastern district where we are located is basically in chaos, with Black Blood Ghouls wreaking havoc everywhere. Although the Qing Si (Azure Department) has sent people to suppress them, and even the Hong Bu (Scarlet Department) has sent people to support them, the situation here will last at least three to five hours before these ghouls can be cleared."

Fang Yue frowned tightly.

Three to five hours was already very slow for the efficiency of the capital.

However, with such a large area affected, those Black Blood Ghouls also had the ability to kill ordinary people and perform ghoul possession. It was reasonable that dealing with them was troublesome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

After all, even if there were more people in the Qing Si of the capital, there were even more ordinary people. When encountering large-scale events, it would instead seem like there were insufficient manpower.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't understand. Why is the Fifth Imperial Princess going to so much trouble, paralyzing the entire Qing Si, and even drawing manpower from the Hong Bu, involving so much manpower? What exactly does she want to do?"

Wei Ba sighed upon hearing this: "If I'm not mistaken, she wants to... kill the Fourth Imperial Prince."

What?!

Kill the Fourth Imperial Prince.

Fang Yue's eyes widened. Had the Nine Dragons Seizing the Throne become so intense? If it escalated to this extent, would the current Holy Emperor just stand by and do nothing, allowing his children to mess around?

"I don't know about that. Maybe she has other tricks up her sleeve. As a force on the Fifth Imperial Princess's side, I can only wait for her final result for the time being."

Fang Yue's expression was ugly. He didn't like the Fifth Imperial Princess's actions. Why should innocent people sacrifice themselves for the battles of these upper-class people?

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Something very important.

"Not good! The Seventh Imperial Prince's residence is also within the affected area. Jing Yan is still in the Seventh Imperial Prince's residence!"

"The Seventh Imperial Prince's side should be fine, right? After all, he is an imperial prince, and there will be experts protecting the residence... Forget it, let's go there together!"

The two quickly acted. If they encountered ghouls on the road, Fang Yue would take action to solve them.

Not to mention helping others, the reward of attribute points alone made Fang Yue unable to stop.
