Chapter 127 Secret
Two days later.
Ancient Sophora japonica Temple in Beijing.
This small temple is the secret headquarters of Daxia’s capital.
At this moment, five hundred men gathered under a thousand-year-old locust tree. They were all the death warriors that Daxia had spent many years to plant. Now all of them were activated and gathered here.
"My dear colleagues!"
A burly man with a fierce look, about forty or fifty years old, raised a large bowl in his hand and faced the crowd.
"The honor and disgrace of Daxia, the rise and fall of the world, all depend on this battle!"
Li Chun, deputy commander of the capital's guard troops, led the capital's guard troops and was responsible for daily patrols and guarding the security of the imperial city and important mansions.
No one would have thought that a fourth-rank military officer, a great warrior with second-rank blood energy, would be the leader of the Daxia Association in the capital, and at the same time the leader of the five hundred death warriors.
Everyone is prepared for death.
Because they were going to do something earth-shattering - kill the emperor!
Li Chun said: "This matter is extremely dangerous, and there is almost no chance of survival, but as long as we can get rid of the dog emperor, our lives are nothing!"
"Brother Li, no need to say more!"
"Since ancient times, there has never been a revolution without bloodshed."
"Why should a man be afraid of death?"
"Rather than dying at the hands of natural disasters, thieves, foreign invasions, or corrupt officials, I would rather die for justice!"
"My whole family died at the hands of Jing Ting. I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"If my sacrifice can bring happiness to the people of the world and contribute to the peace of future generations, it will be an honor to die!"
"I believe in Daxia!"
"Our sacrifice will not be in vain!"
"..."
Listening to these passionate words, Li Chun was also very moved and his passion surged: "Okay, with all of you patriots accompanying me, I, Li Chun, will not be alone even if I go down. Then we brothers will drink three hundred cups of wine together!"
Everybody burst into laughter.
Laughter is both heroic and tragic, and it also contains infinite longing and hope for the future.
These people came from all over the world, all of whom had been through rigorous tests, and had a firm belief in sacrificing their lives for justice, and had long since put their personal lives aside.
Want to overthrow a corrupt empire.
Sacrifice and bloodshed are inevitable.
They may have a deep hatred for Dajing or a deep love for the land beneath their feet, but they are all willing to sacrifice their bodies to pave the way for a new era.
"Brother Li, there is no time to lose, we'd better act immediately!"
"Not bad!"
"Otherwise the information will be leaked."
"I'm afraid there will be an ambush by the dog emperor!"
"..."
Li Chun: "Don't worry, everyone. It's still difficult for us hundreds of people to attack the palace. We still need to wait for help. The time is almost up!"
helper?
Everyone was stunned.
How come there is help?
They were obviously unaware of this.
Without waiting for hundreds of patriots to ask for specific details.
A strong wind swept through the temple.
A green treasure ship appeared in the air.
The treasure ship was three meters long. It was an enlarged canoe. It had no sails and floated in the air with twelve people standing on it.
"This is……"
Everyone was in disbelief. Could it be that the legendary god was flying in the sky piloting a treasure ship?
Twelve people got off the treasure ship.
Most of the ten of them were elderly people over 60 years old, and the only one who looked a little younger was Mu Guihong.
Grandmaster!
Ten Grandmasters!
They are all world-famous martial arts masters.
There are retired leaders of famous sects and top masters who are feared by all.
Each of them is extremely famous.
He was soon recognized by others.
However, compared to the ten great masters, the two leading ones are more eye-catching, and they look somewhat familiar.
One of them was a frail woman who looked less than twenty years old. She had a beautiful appearance and noble temperament, like a flower on a high mountain.
The other one looked to be in his early twenties, handsome, elegant, and with a transcendent temperament. Although he did not look very old, he gave people a sense of being otherworldly, like a banished immortal.
"Yaoxuan? It's Princess Dajing Gulun!"
"Could this be... Yu Xiao, the leader of the Martial Alliance!"
The two were Yu Xiao and Yao Xuan.
Yu Xiao no longer needs to hide.
After returning from this training session, it is almost impossible for Da Jing to pose a threat.
Killing the emperor is a big deal!
It's impossible to keep a low profile.
And since you want to be high-profile.
Then keep a high profile.
Let the universe shake, let the world turn upside down, let it shine brightly!
Yu Xiao went back to the world of immortal cultivation for this operation and added a "multiplication array" to the Lingzhu Boat in the weapon refining workshop. This array can temporarily magnify the Lingzhu Boat three times, and with it, he directly brought Princess Yaoxuan and the ten great masters who participated in the operation over.
Yaoxuan had guessed it long ago.
The Wu League has an extremely powerful ancient Qigong practitioner, but no one expected it to be Yu Xiao himself, and at this moment all the doubts were resolved.
Yaoxuan is very intelligent and has a high level of understanding.
She had guessed that the Yu Qingyun she met in Shencheng was probably Yu Xiao.
In this way, all the unclear points can be explained clearly!
Yu Xiao is only in his twenties!
He actually possesses the martial arts attainments of a martial saint, and can be said to be the best Qigong practitioner in ancient and modern times. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that such a prodigy could be born between heaven and earth.
Maybe this is destiny!
Emperor Jing acted perversely and recklessly, so Heaven sent down this extraordinary man who has appeared in a thousand years to enforce justice on Heaven's behalf!
“It’s Mr. Yu!”
"Mr. Yu is the Saint of the Martial Alliance!"
"Rui Liancheng, Morton, Nathaniel, and that Zhang Hongtian, it turns out they were all killed by Mr. Yu!"
"Mr. Yu has taken action!"
"Why worry about not accomplishing great things!"
"In troubled times, saints emerge. I am a mortal, and I am lucky enough to share great events with immortals. I would have no regrets even if I died a hundred times!"
"..."
When everyone saw and understood Yu Xiao's methods and deeds with their own eyes, they all felt their blood boiling and their morale soared, and they felt that this operation was a sure win.
"Without further ado!"
"Let's act now!"
"Please give the orders, Mr. Yu!"
Yu Xiao said without further ado: "I will deal with Emperor Qian personally. You are responsible for occupying the palace gate, resisting the reinforcements, and buying time!"
"Yes!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Yu!"
"If the enemy wants to invade, they will have to step over our dead bodies!"
Yu Xiao brought a large number of guns and explosives to increase the combat effectiveness of Daxia's death squad.
Li Chun took advantage of his position to get officers' and soldiers' uniforms for everyone, and then led 500 people to approach the palace.
Ten masters including Mu Guihong are scattered in various teams. Once Yu Xiao makes a fuss in the palace, each team will receive the attack signal and will attack at the same time to seize the palace gate.
action.
it has started!
Yu Xiao flew the boat into the Forbidden City.
With his keen perception, he immediately discovered the abnormality.
"Is this... spiritual energy?"
Yu Xiaoke felt it clearly.
The Forbidden City is shrouded in a rich spiritual energy.
The density of this spiritual energy is roughly the same as the environment of the mortal kingdom in the main world. Although it is in a spiritual energy depression in the world of immortal cultivation, it is definitely unusually abundant in the world of Dajing.
What happened? Yu Xiao initially speculated that Emperor Qian must have set up some kind of ritual or formation in the palace to gather or generate spiritual energy on a large scale.
In such an environment.
It is enough to barely satisfy the cultivation of Qi Refining monks!
There are indeed many unknown secrets hidden in this palace!
Before Yu Xiao could make a careful distinction, he suddenly felt that the spiritual bamboo boat under his feet lost control and fell straight to the ground.
It's some kind of restraining effect.
This type of no-fly zone is very common in the world of immortal cultivation. It is deployed in immortal cultivation cities or important sect locations to prevent congestion or illegal intrusion.
Put away the spiritual bamboo boat.
Landed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square.
Yu Xiao immediately and clearly felt the aura of formations coming from all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the world suddenly changed, day turned into night, and the entire Supreme Harmony Hall Square was shrouded in a gloomy and eerie atmosphere. There was almost no light and it was pitch dark.
"Little tricks!"
Yu Xiao used his magic power.
His eyes glowed with a faint purple-gold light.
This is the magical purple-gold pupil recorded in the "Xuan Dao Jing", which can be used to break through illusions and see through the operating principles of the formation.
It turns out.
Yu Xiao’s prediction was very accurate.
As it turned out, there was not only Emperor Qian hidden in this palace, there was also a cultivator with a high level of cultivation.
He might be the culprit behind Emperor Qian's drastic change in temperament in the last thirty or forty years, and his practice of evil methods.
There are many forbidden formations in the Forbidden City.
There have been monks in Dajing since ancient times.
The Misty Bagua Formation that Yu Xiao found very handy was an ancient magical tool. Ancient cultivators could even refine formation tools, so it was not surprising that there were other formation techniques circulating.
Fortunately, I was cautious enough.
Yu Xiao did not rely on his confidence in his power and head straight for the palace as soon as he had the idea of killing the emperor.
Instead, he killed Zhang Hongtian first to obtain information.
Then he went to Dajing to practice for nearly two years.
Today, our strength has increased significantly, and our means and trump cards have also greatly increased. Even if unexpected situations arise, I believe we have the means to deal with them.
"Kill the assassin!"
Hundreds of guards rushed out.
Each of the palace guards has a strength of around third rank, and some of them are equipped with guns or crossbows and can shoot directly from dozens of steps away.
If an ordinary expert breaks in here, he will be pitch dark due to the influence of the formation and will definitely not be able to distinguish the enemy's position and attack direction.
Even a great master was trapped.
They will also be shot and killed.
The martial saint's qi can protect the body and hold out for a period of time. However, if the formation cannot be broken in time, there is a possibility that the person will be exhausted to death without being killed. Just thinking about this process makes people feel suffocated.
And this is the danger of the Imperial Palace!
However, it was useless to Yu Xiao. The secret technique of the Purple Gold Pupil could see through illusions and interferences, while the great perception technique could lock onto every enemy and every attack.
Yu Xiao mobilized his magic power.
Two magical weapons, one blue and one red, flew out.
The red blood shield surrounded him, blocking most of the bullets and arrows, while the green sword turned into a ray of sword light and flew towards the crowd.
"not good!"
"Get out of the way!"
The palace guards were prepared and quickly dispersed.
The square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is 30,000 square meters. It stands to reason that in such a spacious place, someone with the cultivation and skills of the third rank or above should be able to avoid several attacks.
If it were Yu Xiao who attacked Zhang Hongtian, it would definitely be a very difficult task for him to kill hundreds of eunuch guards.
But it was different at this moment. The green light was faster than ordinary bullets, easily breaking the speed of sound, and instantly pierced through the bodies of nearly ten guards.
Yu Xiao's magic sword was obviously faster, and this was because the Qingmang Sword had been upgraded from a mid-level magic weapon to a high-level magic weapon, and its performance in all aspects had been greatly improved.
Even if he is a great warrior of the third rank.
The only outcome is to be killed instantly.
"Rebel!"
"Be bold!"
Several masters with blood as fierce as wolf smoke came in to provide reinforcements.
More imperial guards and palace masters came from all directions.
Bullets and arrows.
It's like raindrops coming from all directions!
There were also a dozen people dressed as sorcerers in black robes.
It's a monk!
Yu Xiao quickly sensed that the magic power of these dozen cultivators was not very high. Most of them were only at the third level of Qi Refining, and the most powerful one was at the peak of the third level of Qi Refining.
Although his cultivation level is not very high.
But in this world, talent is definitely scarce.
After the royal monks appeared at the scene, they immediately activated the Supreme Harmony Hall formation, and an icy and extremely cold aura burst out from under their feet.
Yu Xiao's feet were frozen in an instant, and the ice brought by the extreme cold spread rapidly, covering his entire body in a short while.
Directly stimulate blood and qi.
The vigorous blood and energy broke through the coldness effortlessly.
"Great Sword Technique!"
The Qingmang Sword increased tenfold.
Yu Xiao's giant sword technique has been practiced to a small degree. It does not need to be performed at close range and is more flexible to use. It turned into a super giant sword in mid-air on the spot.
"cut!"
The giant sword fell.
This sword was not aimed at anyone.
Yu Xiao urged the giant sword to strike the center of the square, creating a huge mark with the sword energy, making all the formations lose their effects.
This sword.
The target is not just anyone.
But it is to destroy the formation.
Yu Xiao could feel that there were many formations inside and outside the palace. Although the formations in this world were crude and not enough to pose a threat, triggering them one after another would always cause trouble.
To avoid continuing to cause trouble.
Just lock the center of the formation.
Destroy it with one strike!
This sword successfully broke the formation, the dark environment suddenly disappeared, and the cold current spreading from under the feet was quickly interrupted.
However, at this time, several court masters had already arrived in front of him, and at the same time, more and more armed guards gathered from all sides.
"Shield formation technique!"
Yu Xiao lightly tapped his fingers to inject magic power into the Red Blood Shield, which immediately split into ten, and ten shields surrounded his body at the same time.
Drop all attacks.
Several palace masters bombarded the shield with all their might, but not only did the shield not move at all, but they all let out screams.
The Red Blood Shield is not an ordinary shield but a magic shield. When bombarded by mortal bodies, the shield cannot be damaged and the recoil will cause broken bones and tendons.
The giant sword swept.
Several palace masters were beheaded before they could dodge.
Yu Xiao continued to urge the Qingmang Sword that had returned to its original form, shuttling back and forth among the crowd like a meteor.
Screams came and went.
Three or two hundred palace masters and imperial guards fell down in groups from all directions like wheat being cut.
Can't stop!
It can't be stopped at all!
A dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators wanted to resist upon seeing this, but they were directly locked by the Qing Mang Sword, and they didn't even have time to use more moves.
Or the heart is pierced.
Or the head will be chopped off.
The battle lasted less than two minutes.
Palace masters, imperial guards, ancient qigong practitioners, a total of more than two hundred people, all fell to the ground.
Blood flowed.
It forms streams and puddles.
Yu Xiao walked across the Hall of Supreme Harmony square, which was littered with corpses and blood. He let out a deafening roar with all his might.
"The dog emperor, get out of here!"
This shout was enough to spread throughout the palace.
Yu Xiao was not stupid enough to just wait, but went straight to the Qianqing Palace. He had already sensed that the old emperor was in this area.
Keep going along the way.
He also beheaded dozens of eunuchs and guards who tried to stop him.
As for the palace maids or ordinary eunuchs who were crawling on the ground in fear, Yu Xiao ignored them and let them tremble.
On the one hand, there is no threat, so there is no point in killing it.
On the one hand, the key battle is about to begin, so it is natural to save mana as much as possible.
……
now.
Qianqing Palace.
On the dragon chair.
The old emperor sat upright.
This man, who ascended the throne when he was less than twenty years old and steered the empire for eighty years, is now a nearly 100-year-old man.
His eyes were cloudy, his hair was sparse, he was skinny, his body was shriveled, his skin was like chicken skin, and he looked like a horrible mummy.
however.
The aura is still the same as before.
Even though he looks so old.
But still like an old owl.
Looking down at the court and the empire from above the nine heavens.
"The dog emperor, get out of here!"
A loud shout shook the Qianqing Palace.
An old general in full armor and white hair stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this thief is really vicious. He has already broken through the palace defenses and is about to kill us here."
Fu Long, the Minister of the Imperial Guard.
The emperor's most trusted guard general.
Emperor Qian opened his cloudy old eyes, but there was calmness in his eyes, without any emotions such as anger or fear.
"Yu Xiao, Da Xia Hui, why do you have to rebel? I just need a little time, and Da Jing Jiang Shan will be fine!"
Fu Long said quickly: "The situation is extremely urgent at the moment. I beg Your Majesty to move immediately to ensure safety."
Emperor Qian's eyes were sharp: "Do you also think that this mere thief can kill the Emperor of Dajing?"
"I dare not! I would rather die than surrender!" Fu Long knelt down quickly.
Emperor Qian said calmly: "Well, you lead the Black Blood Guards and meet him outside for me first!"
Twenty black-armored guards came out immediately.
Fu Long was relieved, "I will fight to the death to kill the thief!"
Done.
With twenty people.
Went outside the palace.
This is the last line of defense standing in front of the emperor and preventing assassins from approaching.
Emperor Qian sat on the dragon throne.
Looking back on his 80 years in power.
In fact, he also wanted to be a good emperor who worked hard to govern the country and loved his people like his own children, and he worked towards this goal in the first twenty years.
However, Dajing has been established for more than two hundred years, and the royal relatives, famous families, and rural landlords are like maggots constantly sucking the blood and nutrients of the empire.
The young Emperor Qian's several attempts to push for reforms all ended in failure.
How easy is it to change the empire's deep-rooted problems?
Just when he was deeply shocked and lost,
Two Opium Wars.
Came one after another.
England, France and other countries used their strong ships and powerful cannons to blast open the gates of Dajing. This not only completely destroyed Emperor Qian's plan, but also made the situation out of control.
The powerful families suck blood.
Plunder by the great powers.
It can be said that it is trapped both internally and externally.
The treasury of the Dajing Empire was empty, and even increasing taxes year after year was of no avail. After most of the taxes were increased layer by layer, very little actually ended up in the treasury.
Defeated again and again.
Compensation again and again.
The empire weakened rapidly.
And it is getting weaker and weaker.
The Western Industrial Revolution was in full swing, and Dajing had completely missed the opportunity. He could only take extreme measures to save himself.
Three hundred years of great scenery.
Can't destroy it in your own hands.
As long as it can prolong the life of the empire.
What's a small price to pay?
What's more, he has a deeper plan.
Emperor Qian said to himself, "Master Xuan Ce, I am about to enter the supreme realm. When will our next step begin?"
At this time, an old voice appeared in Emperor Qian's mind: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. The time is not yet ripe."
The voice that appeared in Emperor Qian's mind was not a split personality, but a real consciousness or ghost.
This person calls himself Master Xuan Ce.
He was a figure from before the pre-Qin period, and one of the oldest ancient Qigong practitioners on this land.
Master Xuan Ce is extremely ancient and his origins are extremely mysterious. Due to certain reasons and opportunities, a wisp of his soul has survived to this day.
All of Emperor Qian's methods were taught by Master Xuan Ce.
This includes the means of refining pure yin black blood and creating black blood warriors. It can be said that Master Xuan Ce is Emperor Qian’s teacher.
Emperor Qian said: "If Master Xuan Ce can help me live a second life, I will keep my promise and find a suitable body for you."
It turns out that Emperor Qian not only used extreme means to prolong the life of the empire, he also attempted to live a second life through the secret method of possessing another body taught by Master Xuan Ce.
And his plan was simple.
First, he did all the dirty work as Emperor Qian and repelled the Western powers.
Then he would use secret methods to live a second life, overthrow himself, and rule the country with a completely new identity.
This way.
Even if everyone in the world wants to be held accountable.
It is also to settle accounts with Emperor Qian, the previous emperor.
He can still rule the empire and become the supreme emperor of this land.
This is why Emperor Qian was so crazy and ruthless, and from ancient times to the present, no emperor could resist the temptation to live another life.
No matter how high the cost.
No matter what!
And at this time.
There was a loud sound of fighting outside the hall.
Xuan Ce's sinister voice sounded in his mind: "This trouble is a bit tricky. It seems that Your Majesty will have to take action personally."
"Humph, I also want to see the extent of the power I have now!"
Emperor Qian had a cold expression, and a thick dark blood energy emanated from his body. This blood energy was so thick and powerful, like a substantial black fog, which enveloped the entire palace in an instant.
(PS: Sorry, I am too busy today and don’t have time to write, so the number of words is slightly less.)
