Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 338 The calm before the storm

A few days passed in a flash, and everything seemed calm.

The crown prince and queen never appeared in the court again, and no one made things difficult for Prime Minister Zhou anymore.

This is probably the calm before the storm.

Lu Xunhuan needed such a storm to completely transform the Western Chu Palace so that he could come and go with open arms, go to the national treasury with open arms, and go to every corner of the palace with open arms.

Therefore, he foresaw the storm and told Prime Minister Zhou not to worry about it.

When a mantis stalks a cicada, it lets it make the first move.

The oriole is waiting behind, waiting for the opportunity.

Ten days later, Zixia came back quietly.

Ten masters from the Taiqing Sect came with her.

Everyone hunts monsters in the Nine-Layered Monster Tower every day. Although there are some gains, it is quite boring to do the same thing every day.

Besides, no one knows when they can return to Taiqingmen, and everyone is worried.

Zixia went to find them and asked them to go to Xichu to help Lu Xunhuan. They felt like they were liberated.

I can finally return to the world and live a normal life.

After the ten masters arrived, Lu Xunhuan briefly exchanged greetings with everyone and then called Zixia over alone.

"You will have to make another arduous journey back to the Northland and have your father bring a hundred thousand elite soldiers and rush back day and night."

Zixia was surprised and asked, "What do you mean? He suddenly led his troops back to Changzhou City. He is suspected of treason."

Lu Xun Huan explained the situation in the court to her, and then said, "When the crown prince usurps the throne, the first person he will kill will be Prime Minister Zhou. You served as Prime Minister Zhou's bodyguard, and your father will also be implicated."

"Tell him not to hesitate and lead his troops here immediately. I estimate that the prince's group will take action soon."

"Although we have added ten new masters, if they can mobilize the masters of other immortal sects in Changzhou City, their strength cannot be underestimated. Add to that the Imperial Guards and the Cavalry Battalion, and we are outnumbered... The outcome is unpredictable."

Zixia nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

After Zixia left, Lu Xunhuan made some arrangements for the ten masters of Taiqing Sect.

Afterwards, every day when he had free time, he would take them into the underground secret room to practice the formation.

During the rehearsal, everyone felt that his strength had surpassed everyone present.

The headmaster asked, "Have you broken through to the Wuxiang realm?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Yes, but I can't help you break through."

The headmaster asked in confusion, "Why?"

Lu Xunhuan moved his mind and summoned the golden hoop.

"This item was left behind after a certain deity was destroyed. He sealed his divine power and spirit within several golden hoops. I need the younger generation to find all the golden hoops, gain his boundless divine power, and help him destroy his enemies."

"I've found six of them, and combined them into one. We haven't found all of them yet."

"Logically, I couldn't break through due to the curse, but when I tried, the spirit of the God reappeared and helped me forcefully break through the barrier."

The headmaster nodded and said, "I understand. However, how many golden hoops are there? I really hope you can find them all right away and inherit the boundless power of the God."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Have you ever encountered a golden hoop like this?"

The headmaster shook his head: "I have never seen it before."

He asked everyone, "Have you seen it?"

Everyone shook their heads: "Never seen it."

Lu Xun Huan said, "I asked you to come and practice the formation. First, to help Prime Minister Zhou defend against the enemy. Second, I killed the Immortal Friends Association's president's stand-in, so we have to be on guard against the president's sudden appearance."

The headmaster was surprised and asked, "There's a substitute?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Usually, those who show up are stand-ins, including the one who went to your Taiqing Sect to scare people last time. He was also a stand-in. I don't know where the real president is hiding."

"But his stand-in was in a high position, and if he was killed, the news would spread quickly and far. As long as he's not isolated from the world, he should have known the news by now."

"Now that I'm stronger, and with the help of the formation, I can try to annihilate him."

He turned his gaze towards Qu Yang: "Elder Qu, how many demon beast inner cores do you have? Would you be willing to give them to me?"

Qu Yang took out a bag from his pocket and said, "I heard Zixia say that she got constipated after eating that stuff."

Lu Xun Huan smiled and said, "I've been constipated before, it was very painful, but there's nothing I can do. We're facing a formidable enemy, so I'll try to improve it a little bit. Here you go."

As the days went on as usual, eight days passed in a blink of an eye.

After escorting Prime Minister Zhou to court every day, Lu Xunhuan would come back and practice formations with everyone for an hour, and then he would desperately eat the inner elixir of monsters.

Within eight days, he suffered from constipation twice and experienced two painful ordeals. He almost ate up all the new demon beast inner cores that everyone had obtained before he barely broke through to the sixth level of the Wuxiang Realm.

He was quite disappointed.

But even so, in this world, he has no rivals except the Master of the Shenlong Pavilion and the President of the Immortal Friends Association.

After escorting Prime Minister Zhou back home from court today, he took everyone to the underground secret room to practice formations for the entire afternoon.

After dinner, everyone went to rest and he had some free time.

But he didn't want to rest. He had already planned to sneak into the Prince's Mansion tonight to find out the exact movements of those people.

He waited quietly until late at night, put on his nightgown, covered his face, and disappeared from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the royal palace, the prince's residence.

It was late at night, but the lights were still on.

In the reception room of the Prince's Mansion, he summoned almost all the masters serving in the palace.

Including the two masters who protected His Majesty, they were all bribed by him with a large sum of money.

The Queen stood beside the Crown Prince and addressed the experts, "Guards, arrangements have been made. You will now charge directly into the King's chambers. No matter how many people are there, kill them all. Is that clear?"

The experts nodded: "Understood."

She took out a list and looked at it, then said, "You can choose your own wives, and you can handle it yourself. But there is one principle. The concubine you choose can be kept for your enjoyment, but if she gives birth to a son, the son must die. Do you understand?"

Everyone answered again: "I understand."

The queen turned her head and looked at the hourglass. "After one stick of incense, act. After you have eliminated His Majesty, each of you will focus on your own goals. The rest of the harem will be eliminated by the Royal Guards. You should stay out of your own way."

Outside the reception room, although separated by a window, Lu Xunhuan heard the queen's words clearly.

Well, it turns out we’re going to take action tonight.

He didn't listen and left immediately.

After a while, he arrived at the window of the noble lady, the Concubine Fang mentioned by Prime Minister Zhou.

There was no light in Concubine Fang's room at this time, so she must have fallen asleep.

In the room, Concubine Fang had indeed fallen asleep.

But she was suddenly awakened from her deep sleep because someone covered her mouth.

She struggled in panic.

But someone held him down tightly and whispered in her ear, "I am the Supreme Jade."

Concubine Fang came back to her senses from the state where she was almost out of her mind.

Perhaps because she was still frightened, she waited for Lu Xunhuan to let go and hugged him tightly.

She gasped violently: "I was scared to death."

She didn't wear the big robe, but only a single piece of clothing, and hugged Lu Xunhuan, which made Lu Xunhuan a little sad.

He whispered to him again, "Hurry up and get dressed, take your son, and leave with me."

Concubine Fang suddenly became nervous again: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "The Crown Prince is going to kill Your Majesty tonight and massacre the harem. Hurry up and get up."

Only then did Concubine Fang let him go and hurriedly put on her clothes.

Then she opened the door and went straight to the little prince's room.

Half a cup of tea later, Lu Xunhuan disappeared with her and her son.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Xunhuan quickly arranged accommodation for the mother and son so that they could continue to rest.

Upon hearing the news, Prime Minister Zhou rushed over and asked, "Is the other party about to take action?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "Go and notify the ten masters, plus your original guards, and be prepared. The Crown Prince and Queen will murder His Majesty tonight and slaughter the harem. After that, the masters and guards will probably come straight for you."

Prime Minister Zhou turned around quickly and said, "Okay."

But after running two steps, he turned back and said, "I have you guys protecting me, but what about the Fifth Prince's Mansion and Cheng Zhubu's Mansion? I'm afraid they will all be massacred."

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "There's nothing I can do. I can only keep you safe so that you can restore order and bring a wise ruler to power."

Prime Minister Zhou also sighed: "Yes, in addition to the masters and the imperial guards, there is also the cavalry battalion. Let's protect ourselves first."

After Prime Minister Zhou left, Concubine Fang knelt down in front of Lu Xunhuan.

"Lai Meifang thanks Supreme Master Yu. As long as my son can rule the world, you can go anywhere in Changzhou City and any corner of the palace without any hindrance."

Lu Xun Huan pulled her up and said, "We'll talk about that later. You guys should rest. I have to go out of town to see where the army is."

Lai Meifang asked, "Where did the army come from?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "General Lin Yun's 100,000 border troops are all battle-hardened."

Lai Meifang was overjoyed when she heard this.

"I...you..."

She was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
