Chapter 711: The Great War of 452, Taoist Divine Palace is thoroughly unveiled!_2
He did not launch an attack, as that was not his duty.
His responsibility was to guard the Emperor, and as long as he didnât slip up, no matter how much chaos erupted, it would be considered insignificant.
âWhat do you think, Cao?â
Jingtai chuckled lightly, showing no concern for the commotion outside the Imperial City.
With a powerful formation inside the Imperial City, even a True Monarch would find it difficult to break through, not to mention more than ten Yang Transformation True Masters present here, making the noise outside unlikely to even penetrate the Imperial City.
What was there to fear?
âJust a rabble.â
âExactly, a mere rabble, just in time for todayâs grand sacrifice of the Royal Family, letâs use their heads as sacrificial offerings,â Jingtai said with a faint smile.
Outside the Imperial City, a fierce battle was currently underway.
The Core Realm Reach Profound below goes without saying, a standstill in the short term, but a bit short of breaching the gates of the West Imperial City, and even if they fail⊠with so many elite guards at his side, it was hardly a concern.
As long as these people didnât exceed ten thousand and didnât form a battle array, any one of the Yang Transformation True Masters could wipe them out with a wave of their hand.
Moreover, they were not gathered together, with the battle lines drawn long; it was just for show.
The real deciders of victory were still the Yang Transformation True Masters!
The commotion caused by the emergence of the Myriad Ghost Banner was indeed huge, but⊠that was all there was to it; there was no chance of dealing with more than ten Yang Transformation True Masters with it.
However, the plans of the Taoist Divine Palace were not so simple.
All they wanted was to make a bigger scene and draw the Emperorâs attention.
Hidden within the Black Clouds, Yang Huatian manipulated the Myriad Ghost Banner, with endless Yin Souls continuously assaulting those Yang Transformation True Mastersâit was a pity their individual strengths were too weak to inflict any real damage.
People like Zhang Yantong and Wu Tianxi, with their swords unleashed, could cleanse a swath of Yin Souls.
But facing the endlessly charging Yin Souls, they couldnât obliterate them all. Still, their purpose was achieved, at the very least they could block them for a quarter of an hour.
That isâŠ
Provided the Yang God True Monarch did not take action.
âYang Huatian, are you seeking death?â
Zuo Tiancheng bellowed angrily.
At the reveal of the Myriad Ghost Banner, they had realized this personâs identity, after all, its notoriety was too highâwho didnât know the name of the Myriad Ghost Banner?
âHehehe⊠if you want to kill me, do you courthounds of the court even qualify?â
Yang Huatian let out a standard villainous laugh.
âEvil ghost old man, today⊠Iâll make sure you truly become an evil ghost!â
Zhang Yantong snorted coldly as a hundred zhang of sword light swept through the sky.
The military generals, wielding long spears or halberds, fought their way into the area covered by the Myriad Ghost Banner, advancing towards Yang Huatian.
âThe court is rotten to the core, with troubles both from within and without. Do you really think that only I have come here today? Hahaha⊠The Heavenly Demon Hall and the No-Life Sect are already making their move. Today marks the beginning of the courtâs decline!â
Yang Huatian declared aloud.
With Primordial Energy fueling his voice, everyone present clearly heard this statement.
The expressions of the more than ten Yang Transformation True Masters changed instantly.
Those within the Imperial City, both the experts and the officials, were also taken aback.
âYour MajestyâŠâ
Cao Zhengxian looked gravely at Jingtai:
âShall we request several True Monarchs⊠â
âNo need, now is not the time. Heâs right, itâs impossible that heâs the only one who came today. Others are waiting for the right moment. Coincidentally, I am also waiting for them to show themselves before capturing them all in one swoop!â
Jingtai remained calm amidst the turmoil, showing composure even as if a mountain were crumbling before him.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan was on his way to the HaremâŠ.
It wasnât that he was intentionally delaying, rather the distance from here to the Harem was indeed significant, and he couldnât recklessly fly through the air, lest the powerful individuals in the Imperial Palace direct their attention towards him, which would be his end.
He had pushed his movement technique to the limit.
At the same time, he had changed into another set of clothes.
They were the uniforms of the Imperial Palace Guards, which he had already prepared.
Wearing the Heavenly Patrol Bureauâs Black Cloud Clothing into the Imperial Palace was bound to draw attentionâŠ
Having changed into the new garments, he used his spirit to hook onto the Heavenly Book, transforming his aura.
Even those who were familiar with him wouldnât be able to recognize him standing right in front of them, that he was Chen Yuan.
As time ticked away in the palpable tension, Chen Yuan used the Harem pass given to him by Noble Consort Yang to break through one barrier after another, and indeed, because of this item and the clothing and armor he wore, no one doubted his identity.
He arrived at the Harem without obstruction.
Upon reaching this place, he had essentially breached the first major barrier.
Still, he dared not linger and proceeded directly towards the Cold Palace.
Some palace maids found him somewhat peculiar along the way, but dare not question due to their low status, watching as Chen Yuan entered the dilapidated Cold Palace.
A sense of desolation lingered in the air, along with the cries and lamentations of women echoing around.
But he didnât bother with them, following the guidance of the Heavenly Book, through one chamber after another, until finally⊠he stopped in an unassuming courtyard.
He looked gravely at a dried well before him, suppressed by a massive stone.
He knew this was the entrance to the Dragon Vein.
It was also an area where the prohibition was extremely severe.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan quickly began setting up a Formation around the small courtyard, enveloping it. This formation was also one of the items given to him by Su Qing.
Then, he shifted his focus to the massive stone sitting atop the dry well.
At first glance, it appeared quite ordinary.
