Chapter 385 The oriole is behind
Chapter 385 The oriole is behind
The female assassin was sent into the palace and went straight to the Emperor's bedroom.
At that time, the Emperor had just gone to bed, and the ones keeping watch were not the chief eunuch, Eunuch Guo, but several young eunuchs.
The female assassin fell to the ground like a flying leaf, without any sound. She came close to the young eunuchs, but they were still kowtowing and dozing off without noticing. The female assassin knew some kind of magic, but she chanted a spell at them, and they fell to the ground in a daze and fell asleep.
But the Emperor inside was no mortal after all. As soon as she pushed open the door of the bedroom, the Emperor noticed it. He suddenly sat up from the quilt and shouted vigilantly towards the door: "Who is it!"
His Majesty the Emperor sat on the edge of the bed, watching a female assassin swaggering in.
The female assassin was not an assassin only. She was dressed in black and masked with a murderous aura, but she looked like a fairy in fairy clothes and gracefully dressed.
However, her heroic and solemn demeanor and domineering charm made it so that no one who saw her would really think that she was just a girl.
This woman's pride is greater than that of a king who is above everyone else.
She raised her Bodhisattva-like eyes and looked at the Emperor on the bed. She said, "So that's how it is. No wonder I saw the fortune of the Great Jue Kingdom change when I was in heaven. It turns out that you, the old ghost, have returned. So what do you think? Can you tell me how much worse your Great Jue kingdom is than before?"
His Majesty the Emperor recognized at a glance that this female immortal was the big boss behind Chu Yanqiu, the chief leader Yuchi Lian on Qianfeng Mountain.
This was the second time that His Majesty the Emperor had met the number one Immortal Venerable of Qianfeng Mountain. Compared to the first time, perhaps because they were both fellow Taoists from the Immortal Sect, she gave him a completely different feeling. When he had met her before, he was still an arrogant and wise monarch. He had also seen her like this, but he could not feel her aura of the Immortal Venerable of Qianfeng Mountain. Now that he had also appreciated her aura, he realized the weight of her title of the Immortal Venerable of Qianfeng Mountain.
His Majesty the Emperor cannot afford to offend her. Compared with Yuchi Lian, his magical power is like an ant trying to shake a tree.
His Majesty the Emperor swallowed his saliva dryly. He could not help but say, "Don't try to weaken the fortune of our Dajue. Our Dajue will prosper forever. It is not declining as you said."
Yuchi Lian's eyes were like sharp swords, and at a glance, it seemed that she saw through all his humility. Yuchi Lian was too lazy to discuss this matter with him. She smiled and said, "How about it? What I told you before, I am mentioning it again now, will you agree? Give the throne of the king of Daju to my Ji family's descendants, and I will let them guarantee your Xiao family's prosperity and wealth. If you agree, it is not a bad idea to give you eternal glory."
His Majesty the Emperor was so angry at her words that he gritted his teeth, but he understood the disparity in power and did not dare to act rashly, so he had to hold his anger in.
Yuchi Lian is a good hunter. The more she pushes someone to the edge, the calmer she becomes. She smoothed a corner of her sleeve and said slowly, "I came here for more than just this. I heard that there is a demon named Shen Wen hiding in your palace. If it is true as the rumors say, you hand him over and I will take him away. This will end tonight."
When the Emperor heard that he came for Shen Wen, he was puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking for Shen Wen?"
Every time Yuchi Lian thought of this demon who accidentally broke into the life of his grandson Chu Yanqiu, she felt unhappy. She snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry about this. Anyway, I want his life, and you can't stop me. I advise you to be sensible and send him to me immediately."
His Majesty the Emperor naturally heard her ill will towards Shen Wen from her words. He turned his eyes and said, "You are here for Chu Yanqiu. Do you not agree with Chu Yanqiu and Shen Wen being together?"
Yuchi Lian hated vulgar people speculating on her thoughts. She waved her sleeves and said, "I've already told you that it's none of your business. Just hand him over."
His Majesty the Emperor's eyes turned, and he remembered his plan to instruct the fake to seduce Chu Yanqiu tonight. He said to Yuchi Lian, "There is no one named Shen Wen in this palace. You should look for someone else."
Seeing that he didn't know what was good for him, Yuchi Lian sneered and looked at the emperor and said, "Old devil, didn't you come back from the fairy mountain just for that demon? Now you are in your grandson's body, safely serving as the emperor. Would you watch that demon live happily outside? Don't lie to me. I ask you, will you hand over that demon?"
His Majesty the Emperor's intuition was indeed correct. Yuchi Lian's cultivation was superb. She knew everything as long as she wanted to.
His Majesty the Emperor calmed down and said slowly, "I really didn't lie. If Shen Wen was in my palace, I would have succeeded long ago, and I wouldn't have to live in my grandson's body. I would have cultivated a golden body of an immortal long ago."
Yuchi Lian's expression changed, and she also felt that what he said made sense, but then she changed her mind and believed in her own predictive power. She calculated that Shen Wen was in the palace.
Yuchi Lian's expression turned cold as she thought of this. She said coldly, "My prediction will not be wrong. You want to fool me with sweet words. I will extract your soul first, and then go to the harem to find that demon."
As she spoke, Yuchi Lian didn't move at all. The person who was originally three meters away was right in front of her in an instant. She raised her hand to grab the emperor's neck.
But when she stretched out her hand, the frightened Emperor, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly disappeared.
When she turned sideways to look again, the Emperor's figure was on the right, looking at her with a sly smile on his face.
Yuchi Lian turned around and reached to the right again, but the Emperor disappeared again. A laugh came from behind her, and the Emperor was already behind her.
Yuchi Lian simply didn't believe that the Emperor had this ability. Not to mention that he was hiding in an ordinary body, even if he had cultivated a high-level immortal soul, he would not be able to hide so quickly in front of her. Yuchi Lian was very confident that no immortal could play tricks on her like this.
Yuchi Lian suddenly produced a sword out of thin air and stabbed at his back with such speed that it was almost blinding.
But even so, her sword did not hit the figure behind her.
Yuchi Lian was surprised and looked around, and unexpectedly, there was an emperor standing in every direction.
Yuchi Lian raised his sword and pointed it at the Emperor in front of him and said, "How dare you, you immortals, interfere in the affairs of the human world. Do you want to disturb the human world and cause chaos?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Emperor in front of her sneered and said sarcastically, "Interfering with the human world? Didn't you, a Taoist immortal who has lived for two hundred years, come to the mortal world to disturb it? Who are you accusing of?"
When Yuchi Lian heard him say this, she knew that her guess was correct. The ones playing tricks on her were the immortals from the West Palace.
Although Yuchi Lian had never fought with the immortals before, she knew that their cultivation was not inferior to hers. Now the four immortals stood on their own sides and opposed her. If she really started fighting, she would be the one who suffered.
So she sheathed the sword in her hand, put on a harmless smile, and said like a family member chatting and laughing: "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have come down the mountain to disturb the world, but my grandson Chu Yanqiu, who has a promising future, is about to encounter a disaster, so I came down the mountain to take care of him. I had no intention of provoking the imperial power just now, but it was really when the matter came that I acted too aggressively."
Yuchi Lian looked at the emperor's avatar who was mocking him, but he ignored him. Instead, the avatar behind him suddenly said, "You don't have to speak so high-soundingly. Now the four of us are teaming up to deal with you alone. You have no chance of winning. We will not act in a domineering way. We are just warning you not to break into the palace. This palace is not a place you can come to whenever you want. You should leave now."
Yuchi Lian was sensible enough. After hearing this, she turned around and walked away. Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, she suddenly formed a sword and stabbed it towards one of the palaces behind her.
Several people suddenly started fighting in the hall.
Although Yuchi Lian knew that she could not defeat the four old immortals, she just wanted to test them to see how far she could go against them. After all, she believed that if she met one of them alone, she would be able to defeat them.
The four big men fought with Yuchi Lian for dozens of rounds, and the appearance of the emperor's incarnation disappeared. Everyone revealed their true appearance, Chunyu Lihe, Hu Qiyan, Hu Liuli and Tong Ming.
Among them, Chunyu Lihe was the most capable. He rushed to the front and almost fought alone with Yuchi Lian. Only when Yuchi Lian made a feint and went to provoke others, he was not in a hurry and waited for the next round.
Yuchi Lian tested the four big guys one by one and was exhausted. Although she was an immortal with a certain realm, she had superb martial arts and had advanced to the immortal realm. She was completely different from the four big guys who were pinching their fingers and chanting spells to set up imaginary formations and achieve great results with little effort.
Yuchi Lian's sword broke through the formation wherever it went, and shattered all the fake flowers with one move. The sword energy she threw out would kill mortals or practitioners with shallow Taoism. Because she was born from the God of War Zhao Qingjue, it is said that when that god was alive, his power was so amazing that he could split the fairy mountain with one sword and pacify the world with one sword. Two hundred years ago, it was because of his sword that the world was divided into nine countries.
Yuchi Lian fought fiercely again. This time, he improved his moves to a higher level. He was in the upper hand right from the start and the four men had to either dodge or struggle to take his attacks.
However, she had not noticed that a huge black fog had already swept over the periphery of the bedroom. It had quietly sneaked in through the cracks in the windows and doors, lingering in invisible places, spying and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
These people were fighting in the small bedroom, and seemingly inconspicuous figures were moving with each move, but the sky was already covered with rolling clouds and lightning. The soil under the palace was decomposing and the foundation was scattered like tofu dregs, and it would soon lose its support, or it would collapse and disappear in the next moment, and a man-made bottomless hole would appear.
All around the palace, one could see the increasing layers of black air baring its fangs and claws, like evil beasts that had broken out of their cages and were full of fighting spirit.
Tong Ming seemed to have sensed something. He glanced back at the window and could not help but warn, "Not good! We can't stay here any longer. Everyone, don't fight and run away."
After he said that, he turned into a gust of wind and passed through the window. The roaring black beast that rushed inside didn't care about the escaping wind and just rushed in to attack Yuchi Lian.
Tong Ming rushed out of the bedroom and landed on the top of the wall. He patted his chest in fear and looked back, only to see that the other three gusts of wind had also broken through the encirclement of the black army. He then felt relieved.
Then, he didn't care where his three companions fell, and he turned into a gust of wind again and ran away like lightning with the wind.
