Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

At nightfall, the Phoenix City was shrouded in silence. Only the palace was still lit with a few lights, which faintly revealed a murderous atmosphere. In the Jade Palace deep in the palace, a peerless beauty wearing a phoenix crown and a cloak was slowly opening her eyes.

This woman is none other than the enchanting goddess Dihuang. She has a peerless beauty and noble temperament, but gives people a sense of alienation that is difficult to approach. At this moment, she stares at herself in the mirror in front of her, with a hint of vicissitudes and fatigue between her brows.

"It's another long night." She sighed softly, then stood up and walked out of the Jade Palace.

After passing through many palaces, Emperor Huang arrived at the back garden of the imperial palace. Looking at the Lanting Valley in front of her, she walked slowly. The breeze blew, and her long silk-like hair fluttered gracefully under the moonlight, like a fairy descending to the earth. It was hard not to feel a sense of anticipation.

"My son, you are here." A familiar voice sounded behind him. An old man with gray hair and beard walked slowly towards him. It was the Emperor's closest relative, His Majesty the Emperor.

"Father." Emperor Huang bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"I have something important to discuss with you today." The emperor said calmly, "I have issued an order and will issue a new decree in the court tomorrow."

Emperor Huang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "What is Father talking about? Are they still those harsh terms that restrict me?"

The emperor sighed and said slowly: "I know you have been exhausted over the years and have made many contributions to the country and the people. But there are always some people in the court who have ulterior motives and want to take the opportunity to frame you. For your safety, I have to take some restrictive measures."

Emperor Huang was silent for a long time, and finally smiled calmly: "Since my father has made this decision, I will definitely fulfill my duties and live up to his trust."

The emperor was relieved when he heard this. He held Di Huang's hand tightly and said seriously: "I know that you have always been aware of the overall situation and I believe that you can resolve the many obstacles in front of you. But you must always be vigilant and remember not to act rashly."

"Don't worry, father. I will follow your instructions." Emperor Huang replied softly.

"Okay, then I'll rest first. You should also go to bed early." The emperor nodded, turned and left.

Watching the emperor go away, a trace of worry gradually emerged between Di Huang's brows. She paced alone in the Lanting Valley for a long time, until the moonlight gradually faded, and then she slowly returned to the palace.

The next morning, the entire Phoenix City was in an uproar. The emperor personally went to court and announced a series of new decrees. The most eye-catching of these was the many restrictions on the Emperor Phoenix.

"From today on, the Goddess Emperor Phoenix is ​​not allowed to leave the imperial city without permission, nor is she allowed to have private contact with the outside world. Anyone who violates this rule will be severely punished!" The emperor's sad voice echoed in the court.

When the ministers heard this, they all whispered to each other and discussed it. Emperor Huang, who was sitting on the main seat, also showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Father, these new laws are tantamount to depriving me of my freedom." Emperor Huang frowned slightly and said slowly.

"I know you must be unhappy. But this is all for your safety." The emperor sighed and continued, "Nowadays, there are indeed some restless forces in the court and the country, trying to use your name to make ill plans. I have to take some measures to protect you."

Emperor Huang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Since my father has made this decision, I will definitely fulfill my duties and live up to everyone's expectations."

"Okay, I knew you would understand my intention." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly broke into the court and interrupted everyone's conversation.

"Who dares to break into the court and disturb my meeting without permission?" the emperor shouted in a deep voice.

The man who came was a famous general in Phoenix City. He was staggering and his face was livid, obviously he had met with some misfortune.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!" the general said hurriedly, "Last night, the spies I sent out were attacked by a mysterious force and are now missing! Moreover, we found some unusual information in the clues they left behind!"

"What information?" asked the emperor, frowning.

"According to the spies, someone seems to be plotting to assassinate the Goddess Emperor Huang!" the general whispered.

For a moment, there was an uproar in the court. Emperor Huang frowned, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"To plot against me?" Emperor Huang sneered, "How ridiculous."

"Your Majesty, this is a terrible thing! We must take immediate action to protect the safety of the Goddess Emperor Phoenix!" the general said anxiously.

The emperor nodded solemnly: "Okay, I understand. From today on, send more elite guards to protect the emperor with all their strength. Remember not to be careless in the slightest!"

"As you wish!" the general responded and withdrew.

"My son, it seems that this matter is really not simple." The emperor looked at Di Huang worriedly, "I will do my best to protect your safety, but you must always be vigilant and remember not to act rashly."

Emperor Huang nodded gently: "Don't worry, father, I will be careful and cautious."

At this moment, a strong aura suddenly swept in from outside the palace, causing all the ministers to be shocked. A figure rushed into the court like a gust of wind and headed straight for Emperor Huang.

"My son, be careful!" the emperor reminded urgently.

Emperor Huang's eyes flashed, and he instantly condensed a powerful protective Qi, which turned into a dazzling curtain of light and enveloped himself.

The figure paused in front of the light curtain, then retreated repeatedly, with a hint of surprise on his face. When the light curtain dissipated, everyone could see the face of the person clearly.

It was a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament. He was dressed in white and exuded a unique aura.

"You can actually dissolve my attack. It seems that you are not simple at all." The young man said slowly.

"Who are you? Why did you break into the court without permission and try to harm me?" Emperor Huang asked coldly.

"Haha, I am the unrivaled sword master in the world, just call me Yunluo." The young man laughed, "I came here today just to compete with you!"

"How dare you so bold as to challenge me in the court?" The emperor looked at him coldly and shouted harshly.

"Hmph, what about me?" Yun Luo snorted coldly, "I just want to fight with this goddess Emperor Huang to see who is the best in the world!"

"Looking for death!" Emperor Huang said coldly, and a powerful aura burst out instantly and rushed straight towards Yunluo.

Yun Luo dodged, with a smile on his face: "It seems that you are really not simple. In this case, let me learn from your skills!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed forward again, holding the sword in both hands, unstoppable. The court immediately fell into chaos, and the ministers avoided him one after another, fearing that they would be dragged into the battle.

A trace of awe appeared between Emperor Huang's eyebrows, and he stepped forward and started a world-shaking battle with Yun Luo. The two of them exchanged moves, the sword light flashed, and the momentum was magnificent, as if they were going to tear the whole world apart.

After a long while, Yun Luo suddenly took a few steps back, with a hint of surprise on his face: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful! It seems that I underestimated you."

Emperor Huang snorted coldly: "Since you have seen my strength, then get out of here immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"Hmph, how could I give up so easily? Now that I'm here, let me feel your power again!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yun Luo's eyes, and he rushed forward again.

The two men fought back and forth, their swords flashing and interweaving, almost burning down the entire court. At the critical moment, a group of armored guards suddenly appeared and surrounded Yun Luo.

"Stop!" Emperor Huang shouted coldly, immediately stopping everyone's attack.

Yun Luo's face darkened and he snorted coldly: "It seems that you really have some tricks. However, this is just the beginning, our battle is far from over!"

After saying this, he turned into a white shadow and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Chase!" the emperor shouted. But by the time the imperial guards arrived, Yun Luo had already disappeared without a trace, as if he had vanished into thin air.

The court fell into silence for a moment. The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Emperor Huang also frowned, obviously wary of this mysterious Yun Luo.

"My son, who are they? Why do they want to attack you?" the emperor asked worriedly.

"I don't know either." Emperor Huang said slowly, "But one thing is certain, they are definitely not ordinary people, and their strength is extraordinary. We must be vigilant to prevent them from attacking again."

The emperor pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. From today on, you must be careful at all times and remember not to leave the imperial city without permission. I will send elite guards to protect your safety around the clock."

"I will follow my father's teachings." Emperor Huang responded respectfully.

Afterwards, the court meeting was interrupted. All the ministers left, leaving only Emperor Huang and the Emperor.

"My son, the young man named Yunluo just now must have other hidden secrets. You must be careful and don't underestimate the enemy." The emperor warned.

"Don't worry, father. I will do so." Emperor Huang nodded. "But what I want to know more is who is trying to harm me?"

"I'm not sure about this either." The emperor sighed, "However, from the clues of the spies, it seems that a mysterious force is plotting in secret. I have ordered the whole city to be on alert, and I will find out the truth as soon as possible to protect you."

"If that's the case, I will be more cautious." Emperor Huang said in a deep voice, "Father, you should also be careful and remember not to act alone."

"I know." The emperor nodded, "Then you should go back to the palace first. Be careful when you go out in the future."

"Yes, father." Emperor Huang responded respectfully and turned to leave the court.

After returning to the palace, Di Huang sat alone in the palace and pondered for a long time. The incident just now made her alert and even a little worried. After all, the person who could fight with her in the court must be very powerful. If someone really planned to assassinate her, it would not be easy for her.

"It seems I must be vigilant at all times." Emperor Huang sighed, a hint of coldness in his eyes, "That Yun Luo, I must find out his background."

After saying this, she stood up and left the palace, preparing to go to the Imperial Guards camp to investigate the matter. But at this moment, a young eunuch rushed in hurriedly, his face full of fear.

"Goddess Emperor Phoenix, something bad has happened! His Majesty the Emperor was attacked in the back garden just now and was seriously injured. His life is in danger now!" said the young eunuch tremblingly.

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Di Huang's heart hard. Her face turned pale instantly, and a huge wave of emotion was set off in her heart.

"What? How could the emperor be attacked? Lead the way quickly!" Emperor Huang said anxiously.

The young eunuch nodded repeatedly and turned to leave. Emperor Huang immediately followed him, his heart filled with anxiety and anger.

"Who on earth is so bold as to dare to harm my father in the palace?
