Volume Two: Wind Rises Spiritual Clouds Chapter 205 Entering the Imperial City
Yin Tao shouted as if she had discovered Bao'er:
"Wow, what a cute girl doll!"
"Xiao Lin, is she the little girl you mentioned?"
Su Ruxue knelt down, opened her arms, and said with gentle eyes:
"Come, come to sister."
The little girl shrank her head and didn't dare to step forward.
"She's a little scared of strangers."
Lin Dongjiu took the little girl and said:
"Rourou, let me introduce to you, this is sister Ruxue, and that is sister Taozi. They are both my family members, and of course they are also your family members."
The little girl let go of Lin Dongjiu's hand, walked to Su Ruxue and Yin Tao with small steps, and said cautiously:
"Sister Ruxue, Sister Taozi, my name is Jiang Xinrou..."
The hearts of both women melted, especially Su Ruxue, who knew what happened to the little girl. When they saw her today, she fell in love with the little girl even more.
She pulled the little girl and said with doting eyes:
"Rourou, let's go into the house. My sister will make you some delicious food."
The little girl looked back at Lin Dongjiu and followed Su Ruxue into the house obediently.
Yin Tao stayed outside and asked Lin Dongjiu: "Brother, is everything going smoothly over there?"
"If nothing happens, the army will advance to the imperial city tomorrow."
Lin Dongjiu thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I'm coming back just in time. You can come with me later and I will take you into the imperial city and regain the throne."
Yin Tao didn't show any happy or excited expression, she just hesitated for a moment, as if some words were left unsaid after all, and whispered:
"good..."
There was nothing for Lin Dongjiu to worry about at the moment, so he rushed back in no hurry and had lunch with Su Ruxue and the others.
The Great Sage had already been sent to his master's residence. Before leaving, Lin Dongjiu asked Su Ruxueduo to look after the Great Sage, and then left Xianyun Peak with Yin Tao.
Just after leaving the sect, Lin Dong's Jiu Shen thought moved and suddenly he felt something in his heart.
He frowned slightly and told Yin Tao: "Wait for me first, I have some things to deal with."
After that, he flew towards the woods next to the sect and appeared in front of Chang Hu.
Chang Hu was leaning under a big tree, his eyes half-closed and half-open, his face covered with half-dried blood stains, and the clothes on his body were torn, showing a series of visceral scars.
Seeing Chang Hu's dying appearance, Lin Dongjiu hurried forward and fed him a few healing pills, frowning and asked:
"Chang Hu, what's going on?"
"Owner..."
When Chang Hu saw Lin Dongjiu, his face finally showed an expression of relief, and he said in a weak tone:
"Master...Bei Yucheng...was massacred by the Demon Palace!"
"What!"
Lin Dongjiu's head was like a thunder, and the veins on his forehead exploded, and he murmured:
"How dare the Demon Palace...how dare the Demon Palace!"
Lin Dongjiu took a few deep breaths, calmed down his mood a little, frowned tightly and said:
"We'll talk about it later. I'll take you back to heal first."
...
After settling Chang Hu, Lin Dongjiu did not go to Crescent City to join the army. Instead, he took Yin Tao and drove the Feiyun Boat straight to the Imperial City.
He had already learned the entire story from Chang Hu, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy along the way.
Beiyu City was massacred by the Demon Palace. Almost 300,000 civilians died tragically under the Demon Palace's butcher knife!
There are very few people who escaped like Chang Hu, but because of these survivors, it is estimated that the heinous crimes committed by the Demon Palace will spread throughout the entire Lingyun Kingdom before long!
Lin Dongjiu now understands that when Huoyang City was breached, the Demon Palace only killed the whole lineage of City Lord Cen and never dared to massacre the city. But now the reason why the Demon Palace dares to massacre the city is because of the massacre.
The turmoil that will be caused will no longer affect the Demon Palace.
It is estimated that Qiu Qianbian himself also understood that the situation in the Demon Palace was over, and there was no hope of a comeback. Instead of running away in despair, it was better to destroy it if it could not be obtained.
Well, this is in line with the Demon Palace's consistent style.
But this is not what makes Lin Dongjiu anxious. Die Huanyi said before that the magic crystals in the magic crystal mine disappeared out of thin air. He still couldn't figure out why Qiu Qianbian transferred the magic crystals in advance.
Now contact the Demon Palace to massacre the city, and it is not difficult to guess.
Qiu Qianbian wants to create an army of corpse puppets in batches for the final counterattack!
A total of 300,000 corpse puppets, this number makes one's scalp numb just thinking about it.
Therefore, Lin Dongjiu could no longer wait for the army to advance to the imperial city. He was now going to the palace to kill King Gongsheng, allowing Yin Tao to regain the imperial power and regain the military symbols, so that he could mobilize the 100,000 troops stranded in the Piaomiao Xian Sect to unite with the Luoxia Sect army.
Let's go together to encircle and suppress Qiu Qianbian's army of 300,000 corpse puppets.
Fortunately, Lin Dongjiu always likes to have a two-pronged approach when doing things. He had already discussed it with Die Huanyi and asked her to go to the imperial city to seize power first.
In this way, even if Crescent City is held back by Chen Yi's trick, Die Huanyi can regain the soldier talisman and cooperate with him to capture Crescent City.
...
Inside and outside the imperial city, gunpowder smoke was everywhere, and killing roars shook the sky.
In the morning, the imperial city was bustling with people because King Gongsheng would ascend the throne tomorrow, and there were scenes of singing and dancing everywhere.
But who could have imagined that before noon, a group of monks wearing red scarves suddenly rushed out of the major stations in the imperial city, began to block the streets to clear the way, and gathered towards the inner city.
After many inquiries, the residents of the imperial city found out that these monks were members of the sect invited by King Gongsheng to attend the enthronement ceremony. But what did they want to do by gathering in the inner city in an organized and purposeful manner?
When someone wanted to inquire, they did not hide anything and told everyone bluntly that they were going to attack King Gongsheng!
The name is: Alliance of Hundred Sects!
...
The Royal Palace, in the luxurious main hall.
The huge desk was split in half, and piles of intelligence letters were scattered on the floor. King Gongsheng was pacing on the stage with disheveled hair, and yelled at the attendants below with red eyes:
"Tell me, what does this alliance of hundreds of sects mean? Do these bandits want to rebel?"
All the attendants below were silent, and no one dared to raise their head to look at him.
King Gongsheng sat slumped on the chair, sighed deeply and said:
"Where did those bandits hit?"
A confidant below replied in a deep voice: "The inner city has been lost, and all the imperial troops in the imperial city have been sent to support, but..."
The confidant said bravely: "It's just that those grass bandits are too strong. There are more than a hundred warriors in the Infant Transformation Realm alone. Our Forbidden Army is no match for us at all. I'm afraid...I'm afraid that the Forbidden Army won't be able to hold on for much longer."
!”
King Gongsheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. After a while, he slowly closed his eyes, waved his hand and said:
"You all, please step back."
Someone below advised: "Your Majesty, if it doesn't work out, let's evacuate the palace first. With Qiu Hongyi and Chen Hongyi here, it's not like we won't have a chance to come back in the future..."
"Evacuate? Are you too naive?"
At this time, a cold female voice sounded in the hall, and everyone's hearts trembled. This voice was so familiar to them!
The level of the Demon Palace is very strict. Even though Die Huanyi has defected, their body's instinctive reaction still made them take two steps back unconsciously.
"Die Huanyi, you traitor..."
King Gongsheng's face turned a little pale, and the armrest of the dragon chair was crushed by him on the spot.
Die Huanyi appeared in the hall in the air. She covered her face with a veil, but the murderous intent in her eyes was as cold as ice.
I saw the soft sword in her hand turning, as if the attendant below was like air, she jumped up and stabbed King Gongsheng with the sword.
King Gong Sheng clenched his teeth, a ferocious expression on his face, and his spiritual power exploded. He pulled out the sword from his waist and struck Die Huanyi with his backhand.
The two sides fought, and the entire hall trembled.
In the shadow of the sword, the yellow bricks exploded piece by piece, the jade tiles fell piece by piece, and scattered objects rolled up flying in the air. Tides of evil energy danced wildly in the hall, and the figures of the two people could no longer be distinguished.
And the next second, petals scattered all over the sky in the storm. Those petals shimmered with lavender light, and their beauty was heart-wrenching.
Any attendants affected by the petals will be tightly attached to them, madly absorbing the essence in their bodies. When the flowers disperse, what is revealed is a mummy.
"boom!!"
A deafening explosion sounded, and a large hole was punched out in the roof of the main hall. Two lights and shadows, one purple and one black, shot straight into the sky, fighting endlessly on the dome of the imperial city.
What followed was dozens of figures rising into the sky, and countless gazes intersecting.
The two lights and shadows in the sky were fighting more and more fiercely, and the entire sky seemed to be left with only two colors, one purple and one black. But with the addition of dozens of figures, the battle situation took a shocking turn.
I saw the thick black fluttering in the air shrinking smaller and smaller, gradually turning into a black spot, and then being surrounded, chased, and beaten down by dozens of flashing light spots of various colors...
The whole process only takes a few dozen breaths.
In this battle, without any surprise, King Gongsheng was defeated.
King Gongsheng was covered in blood, as if he had turned into a bloody man. He was tied up with five flowers and all the acupoints in his body were sealed. He was held down by Ji Ping, the leader of Leiguang Sect, and paraded around in the air in the imperial city.
The sharp-eyed monk immediately recognized that the person being pressed was King Gongsheng, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"It's really King Gongsheng! He was captured alive by the Hundred Sects Alliance. It seems that the throne is about to change hands again!"
Some people who were not well informed asked, "Does this Hundred Sect Alliance want to rebel?"
The monk replied casually: "It is said to be a crusade, but it is not a rebellion. Who knows."
Someone nearby participated and said: "Isn't this the matter about the Demon Palace that has caused a lot of fuss recently? The Luoxia Sect said that the Yin family colluded with the Demon Palace, and the Yin family also said that the Luoxia Sect conspired with those city lords to defect to the Demon Palace, but among them
What's going on inside is not something we can know."
The monk frowned again and said:
"But it stands to reason that Luoxia Sect destroyed Fengyin Sect and Kunlun Sword Pavilion successively, and opened Dan Pavilion, making Baicao Cao become the subordinate of Luoxia Sect. It can be said that in addition to Piaomiao Xianzong, Luoxia Sect has already become the leader of Luoxia Sect.
It is the largest sect in the immortal world of Lingyun Kingdom, so there should be no reason to covet the kingship of the secular world.
But in the past few days, the three major city lords of Blackwater City, Huoyang City, and Xueman City were recruiting troops for the Luoxia Sect, and the rebuilt Loose Cultivators Alliance was also calling on the Loose Cultivators from all over the Lingyun Kingdom to help the Luoxia Sect attack King Gongsheng.
There is also the Hundred Sects Alliance. I don’t believe that the Hundred Sects Alliance was spontaneously formed by sects of all sizes in the world of cultivating immortals. Maybe the Luoxia Sect is the driving force behind it.
Do you think that with so many forces now serving the Luoxia Sect, either King Gongsheng really colluded with the Demon Palace, so that the Luoxia Sect could respond to all requests, or... the Luoxia Sect only gathered these forces with their influence
, but if this is really the case, it would be really terrible!”
The melon-eaters next to me said disapprovingly:
"Hey, whether the Yin family colludes with the Demon Palace, or the Luoxia Sect wants to unify the world of immortality and the secular world, in the end it has nothing to do with me who makes the final decision in Lingyun Kingdom.
Anyway, the Southern Spiritual Territory is so big. If Lingyun Kingdom can’t stay any longer, I’ll just find another place to stay, and maybe I can find some opportunities.”
This sentence was approved by most people. The monk just looked at the melon-eating crowd silently and said nothing.
More and more people came out to watch the excitement in the imperial city, and all kinds of comments and voices came out one after another.
At this time, a black spot flashed across the sky above the imperial city, causing a deafening sound to break through the air.
As the black spots got bigger and bigger, some monks couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This is a flying magic weapon! I didn't expect to see a flying magic weapon in Lingyun Kingdom. Today is an eye-opener!"
"Who is the owner of this flying magic weapon? Neither of us in Lingyun Kingdom has heard of any wealthy family that can use the flying magic weapon. And coming here to join in the fun at this time, could it be the foreign aid invited by the Luoxia Sect?"
Just when people were discussing who the owner of Feiyun Zhou was, Lin Dongjiu and Yin Tao appeared outside the warehouse.
What followed was a wave of voices receiving attention.
"If you have a high level of cultivation, take a look, who are those two young men?"
"That's...that's Your Majesty Yin Tao! I saw your Majesty Yin Tao's true face during the alchemy competition. She is really Your Majesty Yin Tao!"
"Isn't the Yin family about to end? Your Majesty Yin Tao shows up now and isn't he afraid of being wiped out by the Luoxia Sect's people?"
"This... this is not important! Look at the people around Yin Tao!"
"This man has his hands behind his back, who is he to be so arrogant..."
No one answered him anymore. As Lin Dongjiu and Yin Tao flew lower and lower, many people recognized him, and then Lin Dongjiu's ears were filled with the voice of paying attention!
"System, let me tell you that I am so proactive in earning attention today, can you please turn off this notification sound? It is so noisy that my head is going to split!"
Lin Dongjiu had a straight face and looked unhappy.
Unfortunately, there is no response from the system.
Summoning the system panel, Lin Dongjiu glanced at it casually and found that his life span had been extended to three hundred years old, and his attention value had reached about one hundred thousand!
There are so many that he doesn’t even know how to spend them!
After Lin Dongjiu arrived at the imperial city, Die Huanyi and Lei Guangzong Ji Ping, as well as the elders of the major sects of the Hundred Sect Alliance, all gathered around him.
In the eyes of Ji Ping and others, Lin Dongjiu's true identity was revealed as early as when he asked Jiang Yunli to deliver spirit stones to Lei Guang Sect.
However, Lin Dongjiu had no intention of hiding it at all. It was already in the final stage, and it was only a matter of time before Ji Ping and the others guessed his true identity. It would be better to reveal it honestly.
What's more, it was the time when the Luoxia Sect's prestige and influence were at its peak. Having a backer like the Luoxia Sect as the backbone was more stable than an illusory senior master.
Of course, Lin Beibei's identity has not been exposed, mainly... he really doesn't want others to know that he is a cross-dressing boss!
Ji Ping arrived in front of Lin Dongjiu, bowed his offering hand respectfully, and shouted loudly:
"Meet the leader!"
With Ji Ping taking the lead, the others followed suit and shouted together:
"Meet the leader!!"
The voice was loud and clear, and the melon-eaters below heard it clearly, and they all looked shocked and confused.
Some people were shocked at Lin Dongjiu's young age and could not understand how he managed to win over so many large and small forces and sit in the position of alliance leader.
And those who guessed that the Luoxia Sect was behind the formation of the Hundred Sects Alliance were so shocked that it was hard to attach to them.
Die Huanyi came to Lin Dongjiu, took out a golden military talisman and handed it to him:
"Little prince, this is the military talisman found from King Gongsheng."
She knew that Lin Dongjiu didn't like to call him master in front of outsiders, so she only called him little prince.
Lin Dongjiu saw that Die Huanyi's hair was messy and her breath was unstable. It didn't take a guess to know that she had been injured when she was fighting with King Gongsheng. However, there were so many people present and it was difficult to say anything. He just handed her a healing pill.
The jade bottle of medicine simply said:
"Thanks for your hard work."
Die Huanyi certainly understood Lin Dongjiu. After she took the jade bottle, she simply responded with a smile.
Lin Dongjiu moved his eyes away and glanced at the embarrassed King Gongsheng. Then he turned away, the golden light in his eyes flickered, and the eyes that broke the illusion slowly opened.
His golden eyes were so dazzling even in the sun, and the people eating melons below exploded, and the sound of heated discussions was as loud as pots and pans being dumped on the ground.
"It's Yin family Longtong!"
"Lin Dongjiu actually has the Yin family's dragon pupils! Could it be that..."
"I understand, he is the prince of the Yin family who disappeared sixteen years ago!"
"No wonder, I said, how could the Luoxia Sect covet the royal power in the secular world? It turns out that Her Majesty Yin Tao is Lin Dongjiu's sister! The Luoxia Sect is helping their brother and sister seize power!"
"It's not necessarily true. If the Luoxia Sect only helped them seize power, how could they possibly win over forces like Baicao Cao, the Sanxiu Alliance, and the Hundred Sects Alliance? I think it's more likely that King Gongsheng secretly colluded with the Demon Palace!"
"..."
Seeing that the effect was pretty good, Lin Dongjiu couldn't help but nod secretly. The reason why he opened his dragon eyes and self-destructed his identity was not to gain attention, but to convey a signal:
Yin Tao is my sister, and I am the chief disciple of the Luoxia Sect. Yin Tao's return to the throne is not without a backer. Whoever dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble at this time should make up his own mind!
After a while, he felt that the preparation was almost done, so Lin Dongjiu pressed his hands and stirred up his spiritual power, making a sound like a bell:
"King Gongsheng colluded with the Demon Palace, stole power and betrayed the country, causing harm to the people for more than twenty years. The crimes he committed are difficult to write down!"
"Today, the Luoxia Sect joins forces with other sects to help Queen Yin Tao kill the rebels, pacify the Demon Palace, revive the Way of Heaven, and restore the Lingyun Kingdom to a bright and prosperous world!"
Lin Dongjiu looked directly at King Gongsheng and asked sternly:
"King Gongsheng, do you plead guilty?"
"Confess?"
King Gongsheng looked ferociously and laughed wildly:
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since your Luoxia Sect wants to control the Lingyun Kingdom, the most important thing is to give the throne to your brothers and sisters. Why do you say it so grandly?"
Lin Dongjiu sneered in his heart. He had long expected that King Gongsheng would defeat him, so he had a way to deal with it.
He reached out and made a move behind him, and a rune chain leaped out, trapping King Gongsheng who was unable to resist.
Then he silently recited the magic spell, and the rune chains binding King Gongsheng suddenly burst out with black light. King Gongsheng seemed to be electrocuted, his body kept twitching and twitching, and he screamed one after another.
The melon-eating crowd below were confused, but they saw billowing black smoke coming out of King Gongsheng's body. His eye sockets and skin shriveled up instantly, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a mummy.
"What comes out of King Gongsheng is demonic energy... The news released by Luoxia Sect is true. King Gongsheng has really taken refuge in the Demon Palace!"
Now no one is investigating what method Lin Dongjiu used. They only care about the truth in front of them, especially those who firmly believe that the Luoxia Sect wants to seize power, and they break out in a cold sweat.
Because the amount of information brought by King Gongsheng’s defection to the Demon Palace is really too great!
King Gongsheng has been in power for more than ten years, but he is a demon of the Demon Palace. After so many years, they can't imagine how Lingyun Kingdom has been infiltrated by the Demon Palace!
From the death of the late emperor, the disappearance of the prince, the destruction of Crescent City, to the brutal sanctions on Baicao Cao, King Gongsheng ascended the throne on the 10th, and the Luoxia Sect attacked King Gongsheng...
Every major event that has happened in Lingyun Kingdom in recent years seems to be connected together, and it seems that a layer of mystery covering the truth has been unveiled, making it easy for them to see the plot set by the Demon Palace to encroach on Lingyun Kingdom.
A series of conspiracies.
If the Luoxia Sect hadn't smashed the Demon Palace's conspiracy and Lin Dongjiu had revealed the truth of the matter, they wouldn't have dared to imagine what would happen after the Demon Palace completely took control of Lingyun Kingdom.
If that time really comes, the Demon Palace can slaughter mortals in the secular world arbitrarily. Even when the Demon Palace's ambition cannot be satisfied, they will not believe it if they don't attack the monks.
And the most important thing is that they may not even know how to die, let alone escape Lingyun Country and live somewhere else.
Although most people have a mentality of not caring about themselves, but after all, they did not jump out of the cracks in the rocks. They may still have their parents and family members living on this land, and they have nothing in their hearts.
National justice is impossible.
As a result, the melon-eaters below became angry, and waves of curses came one after another.
Lin Dongjiu said coldly: "King Gongsheng, how do you still want to quibble now?"
King Gongsheng's face was ashen, but his eyes were still fierce and his voice was hoarse:
"Junior, please don't be complacent. I admit that your methods are amazing, but do you think you can hide the truth? Priest of Great Desire will not let you and Die Huanyi go. When the time comes, your fate will only be worse than mine.
miserable!"
Lin Dongjiu narrowed his eyes, murderous intent rolling around his body.
At this moment, several hurried shouts rang out from outside the crowd, and the frightened voices even overwhelmed the noisy shouts:
"The Demon Palace massacred Beiyu City! Many people died! Many people died! Let us see King Gongsheng quickly! Hurry..."
The melon-eaters turned around one after another, and in their sights, they saw a group of monks in tattered clothes and with injuries all over their bodies, limping towards the crowd.
Some of them didn't even bother to treat their wounds, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
They saw that the crowd in front seemed to have no sense of security, as if there were ferocious spiritual beasts chasing and biting them behind them, and they did not dare to stop for a moment.
"What's going on? The Demon Palace massacred the city? Is it true?"
"I don't know. Let's go over and have a look. We'll find out as soon as we ask!"
"..."
The melon-eating crowd rioted and surrounded the monks one after another.
Everyone in the Hundred Sect Alliance looked at me and I looked at you, and they were suddenly confused.
Die Huanyi's face also became ugly, and she cast a questioning look at Lin Dongjiu.
Lin Dongjiu nodded slightly and explained to the people behind him expressionlessly:
"You go over and take a look and help them heal their injuries first."
