Chapter 749: Black Powder, a Big Commotion in the Palace

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping him from continuing, Baili Moqing pretended to hesitate before continuing.

"That day, when the Fourth Prince committed treason, I, your son, had actually been prepared. However, when the Chengfeng Army came to rescue the Emperor, they were intercepted midway, which delayed the opportunity and resulted in the rescue arriving late."

Emperor Qiwen nodded gently, "I know about this matter, but what does this have to do with your leaving the city?"

Baili Moqing said, "When they were trying to stop the Chengfeng Army and me, they used an explosive weapon. The explosion was extremely lethal. Even I was injured by it!"

Emperor Qiwen picked up another black dot, tightened his fingers, and looked shocked. "It can even hurt you?"

Even though he didn't know the specific level of Lao Qi's skills, he could tell from Zhong Liekui's death that his level was at least above the second rank!

What kind of weapon can even injure a second-rank master?

If there really is such a weapon and it is used in the army, wouldn't Apocalypse be invincible and unbeatable?

"Do you know what kind of weapon it is? Who made it?" Emperor Qiwen was a little nervous, but more expectant.

Baili Moqing replied, "I have been investigating recently, but have not found any clues. It was not until Zhu Guangzheng came to see me that I got some clues."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qiwen said, "Hurry up and speak!"

Such eagerness is enough to show that Emperor Qiwen is very interested in this weapon, and is determined to get it!

Baili Moqing's expression remained calm, and he replied in a steady voice, "Through investigation, Zhu Guangzheng discovered that many young and middle-aged men have disappeared in Kyoto in the past year. Most of those men were workers in fireworks workshops outside Kyoto."

"Hearing this, I thought of that explosive weapon. When it exploded, it was like a burst of fireworks, brilliant and dazzling. This made me think that these two things might be related."

"Later, Zhu Guangzheng said that a similar disappearance case had been reported in the Dali Temple's case files in Hengcheng... So, I decided to go to Hengcheng overnight to investigate this case!"

"Time is running out, so there's no time to wait..."

Before he could finish his words, the emperor interrupted him and asked directly, "Did you gain anything?"

Baili Moqing nodded. "In Hengcheng, I've discovered a rumor circulating. It's said that a demonic creature is causing trouble deep in the Geshan Mountains in the north of Hengcheng. It often emits dazzling white light at night, accompanied by earth-shaking roars!"

"Furthermore, over the past year, every civilian who entered the mountain would disappear for no apparent reason. No one could find the person alive, and no one could find the body after the death. As a result, Hengcheng Geshan became a forbidden area that no one dared to approach!"

Emperor Qiwen frowned, his face full of suspicion. "There are no such things as monsters in this world. I think someone is using the name of monsters to do sneaky things!"

"Your Majesty, your father is wise!" Baili Moqing praised Emperor Qiwen without changing his expression, and then continued, "Yesterday, I went to Geshan to investigate and found that there were many masters there. Anyone who approached would be killed on the spot!"

Emperor Qiwen's face showed a chill, and he snorted coldly, "He killed them directly without asking about their purpose. This shows that there is something big hidden inside!"

But Lao Si is dead, and this place is still operating, which means the person behind it is not Lao Si!

If it’s not the fourth brother, then who could it be?

Eighth? Ninth? Or the one in front of me, Seventh?

Baili Moqing seemed not to notice the inquiry in his eyes and continued, "To avoid alerting the enemy, I went into the mountains alone. There, I discovered the secret hidden in Geshan!"

"Over there, there's a huge workshop, very similar to a fireworks workshop, but not exactly the same."

"They were refining some ores, as well as a large amount of sulfur and charcoal. I don't know what those things were used for, but I found their finished products in the workshop's warehouse."

"They call it black powder, or dynamite!"

"This black powder is exactly the same as the weapon I saw when I was ambushed at the foot of Jingshan Mountain!"

Emperor Qiwen stood up excitedly, his eyes wide with desire, "Did you bring any back? I want to see them!"

Baili Moqing nodded, then led the emperor out of the Taiji Hall.

That thing is extremely powerful and unstable. He dare not bring it into the Tai Chi Hall. Otherwise, if something happens, he will have a hard time explaining it!

Meng Fang was holding a wooden box in his hand, looking very careful. This was because Prince Li said that the things inside were extremely dangerous and it was best not to move them around or let anyone touch them!

Since even the prince said it was a dangerous thing, he naturally didn't dare to slack off.

Baili Moqing took the box from him, turned to Emperor Qiwen and said, "Father, you should stand inside!"

Emperor Qiwen was puzzled, but he still followed his advice and stood at the back.

To be on the safe side, Baili Moqing also asked Meng Fang to stand in front of the emperor.

After everything was arranged, he took out the things in the wooden box.

Emperor Qiwen only saw a pitch-black round ball, which seemed to be made of some metal, with a cotton thread sticking out of it.

Baili Moqing did not use fire to ignite it, but threw it into the sky above the palace and bombarded the iron ball with his powerful internal force.

"boom!!"

A deafening roar resounded through the sky, and a dazzling white light flashed. A huge air wave spread out in all directions, disrupting the airflow in space and rushing in all directions.

Meng Fang felt the gust of air coming and immediately used his internal strength to resist it, protecting the emperor behind him.

But the guards outside the hall were not so lucky. They were shaken by the airflow and staggered. Some of those with weaker skills were even knocked to the ground, looking in a mess.

Emperor Qiwen walked out from behind Meng Fang with a look of shock on his face, his eyes full of passion and possessiveness.

At this moment, the imperial guards, who were not sure why, came quickly with guns in hand, shouting "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

If you don’t know, you might think that Prince Li did something to the emperor!

Emperor Qiwen waved his hand displeasedly at the imperial guards. Wang Qin quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Back off!"

Peace returned to the outside of the Taiji Hall, but the emperor and the imperial guards were still restless for a long time.

Emperor Qiwen now finally believed that the Chengfeng Army was late in arriving at Jingshan last time because they had no choice.

With such a powerful weapon to intercept, not to mention the Chengfeng Army, even if the entire Apocalypse Army came, they would not be able to stop it!

"Seventh Brother, find the person who created this weapon!"

"I want this weapon to appear in my Apocalypse Army!"
