Chapter 168 Qilin, move!

Li Guanyi's sudden voice made Yan Xuanji pause.

They had already been running towards [General Yue's hiding place] in the direction indicated by the intelligence, and had defeated one defender after another along the way, but Yan Xuanji's footsteps stopped abruptly because of Li Guanyi's shout.

The long stick made of mixed gold and black iron in his hand swept across, knocking several imperial guards flying.

"Young Master, what did you say?!"

Yan Xuanji looked at Li Guanyi, drops of blood dripping from the heavy weapon in his hand.

Li Guanyi's eyes were filled with a sense of aura as he looked in another direction, seeing a golden-winged Roc swooping down on a black two-headed snake. His heart was beating violently - his eyes could directly see the Dharma image, which was the most basic ability of the Bronze Nine Cauldrons. At this moment, it gave him the most direct direction.

Yan Xuanji asked directly: "Are you sure?!"

Li Guanyi said: "General Yan, believe me!"

"it is good!"

Yan Xuanji looked at Li Guanyi. He paused, turned around, and rushed towards there with weapon in hand as fast as a tiger. All the enemies along the way were knocked away and defeated by him. Obviously, this palace was not very big, but at this moment, it felt that every second was extremely long.

Every breath seemed to be extended infinitely.

The familiar scenery before his eyes was distorted by the high temperature and flames. The imperial guards and martial artists rushed into each other. The aura of their swords and knives had almost lost their accuracy. Some imperial guards or martial artists even fell under the sword energy of their own people.

They were all blood-thirsty.

With a sweep of the mixed gold and black iron long stick, Li Guanyi blocked the weapons one by one. His eyes were fixed on the situation over there. The poisonous dragon flipped over, the roc spread its wings, and the fighting was extremely violent. At the same time, he kept trying to calculate the location of the [Four Symbols Soul Sealing Array].

………………

The spear thrust out with an extremely heavy momentum, and the tip of the spear pierced through the heart of a martial artist. Then, the endless momentum directly hit the warrior's body. This was a move from a peerless general five hundred years ago, [Destroying the Mountain].

They are endless and all extremely grand and domineering.

This warrior was killed directly, and then the newcomer drew his gun, wearing ill-fitting armor that he had obviously put on in a hurry and rushed over. There was still anxiety in his brows. It was Chen Wenmian, the Prince of Chen. He was originally taken by the emperor to another palace to attend a banquet.

But he found that his mother did not come. He seemed to have an innate beast-like instinct and rushed here anxiously, only to find that a fight had already started. Ignoring the obstruction of others, the young prince rushed in.

Someone tried to stop him, but the prince angrily retorted:

"I am the crown prince of the country!"

"The enemy has broken into the palace of the Chen Kingdom and trampled on the dignity of the country. Do you want me to hide behind like a coward and show no responsibility at all? Go and tell my father immediately and ask him to send a general to maintain order."

"The prince is worth a ton of gold. He is the son of your majesty. He cannot fall here."

"I am the son of the Emperor, but I am also the son of my country. Dying for the dignity of my country is a worthy death!"

The prince let go of the eunuch and looked at the palace shrouded in flames. It seemed that this place was shrouded in a special formation that could not be seen in other palaces. Only by rushing into the palace's imperial road could one discover how serious the situation here was.

The prince ordered the troops to be deployed, and suddenly realized something. He grabbed someone and shouted:

"Where's the Queen?!"

The eunuch turned pale with fear and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty didn't see it."

"She didn't attend the banquet in the other palace?"

Chen Wenmian's face changed drastically. He pushed the man away and said, "Bring armor!" The prince suppressed his shock and anger, and did his best to complete the arrangement of the army. Then he poured water on himself, picked up the spear and rushed into the palace regardless of everything.

The fire in the palace was not that big, but there were many martial artists, all of them elite. Chen Wenmian was raised by Xiao Wuliang, the fifteenth divine general in the world. His spear skills were sharp and decisive. He fought all the way to the palace where the queen was, but he could still hear the queen chanting Buddhist scriptures at the door.

Chen Wenmian stretched out his hand and pushed the door.

The door was locked!

Chen Wenmian didn't care about his past conflicts with his mother and he broke into the locked hall.

Rushing in with big strides, the young prince saw the queen still worshipping and reciting Buddhist scriptures in front of the shrine. He was furious, holding a bloodstained spear in his right hand, and rushed forward in two or three steps, grabbing his mother and saying, "What are you doing!!!"

"Queen, let's go!"

The queen just recited Buddhist scriptures, and Chen Wenmian grabbed her wrist tightly and finally shouted:
"mother!"

He squatted down and forcefully turned the queen over. He saw that her face was covered with tears and her eyes were red. She was not wearing any makeup, but she looked at him with a look of fear, relief, and satisfaction.

Chen Wenmian was stunned. He seemed to sense something and raised his head. He looked at the shrine for the first time. It was a very iconic Buddhist shrine in Middle-earth. When he was young, he only saw it from the side. But when he walked into the queen's room and looked over, he discovered it at this moment.

Inside the shrine, in front of the Buddhas, there are two spirit tablets.

[Li Wanli's Spiritual Tablet]

[Su Changqing's Spiritual Tablet]

The world is peaceful and the sky is clear.

The prince was struck by lightning. As the crown prince of the royal family, he naturally knew what the two names meant: Duke Taiping Li Wanli, and Duke Taiping's wife, the first-rank lady of honor, Su Changqing.

He thought his mother was obsessed with Buddhism, but he didn't know that the people who had been offering incense to her every day for the past ten years were actually these two people.

Chen Wenmian's mind was buzzing. He seemed to realize something and stared at his mother. There was only one situation that would cause the Queen and the Emperor to become indifferent to each other. There was only one situation that would make his mother offer sacrifices to the immortal thrones of these two.

They died at the hands of the emperor.

This was a radical and painful queen who seemed to be desperate to make her son the emperor. But at this moment, in front of the fire and the Buddha statue, she was so painful and in tears. Chen Wenmian looked at her, and the queen looked at her son. She wanted to touch her child.

But she couldn't stretch out her hand, so she finally put it down and said softly:
"My mother is dirty."

"I can't touch yours."

Chen Wenmian squatted down, took the woman's hand, and let her put it on his face. Chen Wenmian's hands were shaking, and he said, "Mom, let's go."

The woman held Chen Wenmian's face in her hands and said softly:
"Good child, good child...your father, your grandfather, and your mother are all filthy people in this chaotic world, but you are different. You are a good person."

"If you want to be the emperor, you have to redress these things."

"You want to bring disgrace upon your father, do you understand?"

She looked straight at her child, with a madman-like determination in her eyes.

Chen Wenmian looked at the woman in front of him.

Finally, the queen just lowered her eyes, she reached out and touched the prince's head, her face was quiet and gentle, the prince had never seen it before. She was originally a gentle, innocent, and bright person. She said softly:

"Forget it."

"You are still a soft-hearted child."

She suddenly reached out and pushed. There was a mechanism inside the door. The floor opened and Chen Wenmian fell down. He shouted but could not stop his mother. This secret passage led to a safe place outside the palace. The queen closed the secret passage.

She turned around, still looking at the shrine and the tablet, and then locked the door.

She picked up the lamppost in front of the shrine and lit the silk satin inside the queen's bedroom.

The flames caused by this battle had already burned here, with tongues of flame flickering. The formation here seemed to be wiped out, no longer able to resist water and fire. The hall was empty, and the queen threw down the candles.

She sat there in a daze, looking at the two tablets in front of her, and it seemed that she could still see those two people.

Finally, only fatigue remained in her eyes. She exhaled and sat there, as if it was the spring breeze from the south of the Yangtze River when she watched the heroic young man singing on the river bank and the gentle girl smiling with flowers in her hair. She closed her eyes and said softly:

"Finally... I can go see you guys."

The fire burned just as it had done ten years ago.

The entire queen's bedroom was burned down.

at the same time.

In the library, the elders were about to take action, but when they were walking downstairs, someone else came up the stairs with a candle in hand. Step by step, the frost spread, multiplied, and diffused little by little, freezing the entire library.

A cold and indifferent voice, and white hair slightly raised at the temples.

The eldest princess who arrived late ten years ago had a cold voice, holding a candle in one hand and a long sword that seemed to be made of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Weapon in the other. Boundless cold air emanated from here, and the cold murderous intent made the bodies of the two royal family masters stiffen slightly.

"Two great uncles."

"Where to go?"

The woman's brows were calm, but the sword energy was icy cold. An old man glanced sideways to the window beside him. In the palace, there was a lot of arrogance, but it was different here. Snowflakes fell from the sky one by one, like the magnificent scenery of the Moon Palace, cold and sharp.

…………

boom! ! !
The Sixth Grandmaster, who had completely controlled all the weapons, threw a punch, but it was dispersed by an extremely gentle aura. The aura rolled up like a wave and was as difficult to deal with. The Sixth Grandmaster looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and finally became furious and said, "Chen Chengbi, you actually want to stop me?!"

The white-haired old man laughed and clapped his hands, saying, "I am anxious, I am anxious!"

Chen Chengbi said, "That damned charlatan Shenshenzi insisted on dragging me up the mountain today."

"The old bald donkey Black Monk insisted on stopping me today, saying that he wanted me to play chess and compete with him in martial arts. Who can't see what he was thinking? When I went down the mountain that year, I was almost fooled into going to the mine to dig. Is he trying to cheat me?"

"It's just like what happened in Puyang that year. They're trying to trick me out again."

"I'm different this time."

"You cheated me once and you plan to cheat me a second time?" Qu Zaishi said, "Then, aren't you afraid of stopping the wrong person?!"

Chen Chengbi looked at him, and the old man said, "My dear grandson, I will teach you a lesson."

"Nice people never say they are nice people."

"Besides, I don't know who is right or wrong, but an outsider like you, with your martial arts skills and shifty eyes, must have problems!"

"Watch the fight!"

Qu Zaishi was furious. The old man suddenly stopped playing around like he used to. He suddenly slammed his palm out. The sky and the earth dimmed slightly, and there seemed to be a powerful force erupting. Qu Zaishi actually felt a pressing chill and murderous aura.

The old man's white hair was flying, and his eyes reflected a hint of cold murderous intent, making his pupils almost blood-red. The one who appeared here at this moment was not the old man who was laughing and cursing, but the mad king who had massacred countless sects in the mountains.

This old man is not playing around.

Qu Zaishi was furious and attacked with swords and knives:
"Well, let's see who lives and who dies today!"

………………

There were battles and killings everywhere. Li Guanyi and Yan Xuanji finally arrived at the location that Li Guanyi had seen. Yan Xuanji took a quick look. As a former first-class general, he immediately recognized where this place was: "It's the secret palace in the imperial palace."

"It is used to store some relatively precious things that are absolutely not used in normal times, such as the many ceremonial objects and ritual vessels used in grand sacrifices, which are all stored here!"

"Could it be that Yue Pengwu is here too?"

Yan Xuanji's heart was greatly moved, and he rushed in directly with the Xuanbing in his hand. However, Li Guanyi's heart sank, and he thought of Tan Tai Xianming's tactics. Sure enough, as soon as the two of them rushed in, rockets and thunder came to attack them. Yan Xuanji swept the Xuanbing in his hand and flattened the thunder and fire.

A general, wearing golden armor, holding a Xuanhua battle axe, with a proud look on his face:

"I have been waiting here for a long time under the order of Prime Minister Tan Tai."

Yan Xuanji was filled with murderous intent: "Gu Daohui?!"

Li Guanyi suddenly remembered this name.

I have seen it in the files.

Gu Daohui, before three of the twenty-four generals rebelled, reported to the court in advance, led his troops to surround and kill them, personally beheaded Zhuge Qingyun and three other generals, cut off their heads, and then presented them to Emperor Chen Dingye. He was the general of the Jinwu Guard, a second-rank military officer, and was granted the title of Marquis Weiwu.

Gu Daohui looked at Yan Xuanji, who was wearing a monk's robe but was stained with blood. Although he was dressed as a monk, he was still holding a black iron long stick and had a murderous aura. He suddenly fell silent and said, "Yan Xuanji..."

Yan Xuanji was furious: "Gu Daohui, Zhuge Gong and others have saved your life many times."

"You actually hurt them!"

He seemed to be furious, but he secretly protected Li Guan behind him and held his weapon.

Li Guanyi looked at the general wearing the armor of the Jinwu Guards. Gu Daohui's eyes were deep and he said, "I am loyal to the emperor and love my country. They betrayed my country. Do I have to go along with them?! Yan Xuanji, you are too naive!"

Yan Xuanji said: "We swore together that we would restore the world and bring peace to the world. Have you forgotten?!"

Gu Daohui sneered: "What is that?"

"I forgot it long ago!"

"Don't say anything more, just shoot!"

The air-breaking and armor-piercing arrows tore through the air and fell towards here. Yan Xuanji transmitted a message to run, grabbed Li Guanyi's collar and threw him to the side, then held the Xuanbing in his hand and swept away the rain of arrows. Gu Daohui looked at Yan Xuanji and whispered, "It's ridiculous."

"Troubled times always push people to opposing sides."

"What's the reason?"

"Then let's fight!"

He leaped up, swung the black weapon in his hand, and chopped it down fiercely. The magnificent air wave tore the earth apart. Yan Xuanji held the black weapon in both hands and collided it fiercely with Gu Daohui's battle axe. The two heroes who once fought under the same battle flag fought each other.

Li Guanyi landed in the distance. He held the Frost Halberd in his hand and saw the collision of swords in front of him. In the sky, the Red Dragon was obviously at a disadvantage. Everyone was fighting desperately. His heart was beating violently. He gritted his teeth, grabbed the Frost Halberd, and threw away the instinctive weakness of human nature.

He strode towards the direction of the golden-winged Roc he saw, making a circle.

There is still room.

According to the orientation of the formation, there is another way to enter the underground palace.

Yan Xuanji failed to stop everyone. A group of imperial guards still bypassed him who was entangled by Gu Daohui and chased after Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi ran into the direction of the life gate and saw the armored imperial guards. The young man held the war halberd in one hand and the waist badge in the other hand, and shouted:

"I am a fifth-rank male of Qinwu County, conferred by the Emperor!"

"There is a group of thieves who are Yue Qianfeng's accomplices!"

"Following Chen Yuyun's previous path, he took the weapons of my imperial guards and then silenced Chen Yuyun."

"Now you are hunting me down. Everyone, follow me and kill me together!"

He turned around immediately, pointed his Frost Halberd at the group of people in front, and shouted angrily:
"Our people are here. You idiot, how dare you come up here?!"

"Shoot! Shoot them to death!"

The guards on both sides were furious and started fighting each other. When their swords were blunted, they suddenly found that the people on the opposite side were their own people, and the young man had run away to a far place without them knowing when.

The people behind had caught up, and guards were coming from all directions.

Li Guanyi couldn't control himself and had to fight with them. He swept the Frost Halberd in his hand suddenly. With his physique and heavy armor, he was equivalent to a general fighting on foot in the third heaven. The imperial guards were swept away one by one by him. However, Li Guanyi also knew the difference between the battlefield and the martial arts world.

The cold knives and cold arrows almost never stopped, and even he was injured.

Being injured once means continuous attacks.

Being physically strong doesn't mean you're invulnerable.

Li Guanyi broke through the blockade of more than 30 people and ran towards the only way out.

A captain shouted from behind: "The guards of Qilin Palace!"

"This man is a traitor, capture him!"

The gate of life turned out to be the Qilin Palace.

Li Guanyi grasped his weapon, ready to fight to the death, and rushed in, but he only saw a mess. The guards here were all lying on the ground, and there was a jar of Turkic wine over there. It seemed that someone had sent some strong liquor, which knocked all the guards down.

The encirclement turned into an opportunity for Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi grinned and guessed who was behind it.

Breaking the military!

As expected of you!

With pursuers behind him and a dead end ahead, the young man looked up at the sky. Yue Qianfeng was stained with blood, the red dragon was still roaring, and his former comrades were fighting each other. His blood vessels were dilated and surging. Li Guanyi held the sword of the Jinwu Guard in both hands.

[Four Symbols Soul Sealing Formation] unfolds in perception.

Some captains of the imperial guards had already stood up and rushed towards Li Guanyi. Time seemed to slow down. The young man stepped on the square with sword in both hands, as if he had made a decision. The tip of his sword suddenly pierced into the ground. That was the node of the [Four Symbols Soul Sealing Array].

Li Guanyi's heart was beating violently.

Tan Tai Xian Ming, Yue Peng Wu.

Xue Lao, Ying Guo, Chen Huang, Chen Dingye, Yue Qianfeng, Yan Xuanji, Gu Daohui.

Each person galloping here seemed to have become a part of the formation. Li Guanyi's strength was far inferior to theirs, but he suddenly understood his own nature. His eyes became calm, and at this moment he directly untied all the formations.

The young man grasped the sword with both hands and turned it suddenly.

An aftermath suddenly swept across the entire palace!
If that's the case, let's make a big fuss.

The aftermath of the Four Symbols Soul Sealing Formation suddenly swept away, and the imperial guards who were charging forward were swept away and knocked away. The young man was at the center of the aftermath of the formation, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and he held the sword in both hands, seemingly unable to control the tremendous power, and was even shaking violently.

Tan Tai Xian Ming's strategies were perfect, everything was perfect.

But Pojun said that all chain plans are most likely to go wrong.

Time cannot wait.

The power to change everything and reverse the situation, the last move.

Right now.

The young man closed his eyes and whispered in his heart:
"Kirin!"

In the Qilin Palace, in the dark and cold imperial palace, a pair of red-gold eyes suddenly lit up. The next moment, a blazing flame burned and suddenly surrounded the young man, blowing away all the imperial guards in an instant. The blazing fire rose, and the roar of the strange beast rose again, turning into an auspicious sign in mythology and legends.

Just beside the young man who was protecting the sword, stabbing into the formation, flames were raging.

[Qilin]——

Join the war!
