Chapter 388: Refusing to Admit

Su Yue nodded: "Don't worry, I'll be here to guard you and won't let anyone disturb you."

"good."

Murong Li nodded and immediately let go of Su Yue's hand. He couldn't wait to come to the crystal ball, then sat down cross-legged, stretched out his hands to cover the crystal ball, and immediately practiced his own cultivation method, slowly absorbing the dragon vein energy on the crystal ball.

Su Yue was also happy for Murong Li. She never expected that the thing that frightened her would be a rare treasure to Murong Li.

Since I met Murong Lilai, this is the first time I have seen him desperately wanting to get something.

Thinking of the importance of this thing to him, and in order to prevent anyone from coming in to disturb him, Su Yue immediately moved out a hundred shadowless soldiers and asked them to quietly return to the cave entrance and guard there to prevent anyone from coming in.

The combat effectiveness of these one hundred shadowless soldiers can match that of four to five hundred secret guards, so Su Yue is no longer worried.

Then, she stood there waiting for Murong Li to absorb the dragon vein energy.

Time passed by little by little, and seeing the crystal ball under Murong Li's palm begin to dim, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

When I looked at the crystal ball again, that feeling was gone. The crystal ball was just like an ordinary crystal ball, and I could even use my mental power to see it.

After Murong Li absorbed the last bit of dragon vein energy, the crystal ball shattered into pieces.

He immediately stood up, picked up the slag, wrapped it in his robe, and came to Su Yue and said, "Yuer, quickly put this thing in."

Su Yue nodded and immediately put the fragment into the space.

"Should this place be destroyed?"

Su Yue pointed at the formation and asked, the crystal ball was gone, but the formation was still there, so Emperor Dong Feng could find another crystal ball to continue.

Such a good thing must be destroyed.

"It will definitely be destroyed. Yue'er, wait for me for a moment."

As Murong Li spoke, he came to the place where the crystal ball was placed again. He covered the place with both palms again, and then used his internal force, and the ground cracked.

The Xifeng royal family also has this formation, so there is no need to copy it down. Even if he doesn't have it, he has it in his mind.

"Okay, let's go, it's almost dawn."

Su Yue shook her head: "No, it only took you one hour, and there are still several hours until dawn."

"That's good."

Murong Li took Su Yue's hand and they returned the same way. When they were about to reach the tunnel entrance, they saw that it had been opened. The Shadowless Army and the secret guards in the palace were fighting fiercely.

But apart from the fighting Shadowless Army and Secret Guards, no one else was seen here.

In fact, those secret guards were all being beaten. Some of them wanted to escape, but they were surrounded and beaten by the Shadowless Army, and soon all of them were captured.

The secret guards lying on the stone steps were injured and crippled by the Shadowless Army and had no fighting ability left.

When they saw Murong Li and the other man coming out of the basement again, they stared at them in disbelief with their eyes wide open.

Among these secret guards was the shadow guard who burned down the inn.

"It's you, how dare you!"

Yingyi was the first to see the two of them and pointed at them and scolded them.

They, the shadow guards, knew best what was down there. When Murong Li went down, the dragon energy there must have been sucked away by him.

However, they never expected that the person below was actually King Li.

How did they get here?

Several shadow guards only felt their scalps tingling, and the pain in their bodies was not as great as the fear in their hearts.

"Kill them all."

Su Yue's eyes flashed coldly, and she actually recognized them. She immediately gave the order that none of these people could survive.

After receiving the order, the Shadowless Military Spirit immediately punched and kicked those secret guards, killing them all in a few moves.

Su Yue quickly collected their bodies into the space, counting them as she collected them. There were a total of twenty secret guards, which almost attracted all the secret guards near the palace.

Now they are not afraid of anything, and those eunuchs and palace maids are nothing to worry about.

"Let's go."

Su Yue and Murong Li exchanged glances, and the two quickly walked out of the tunnel and came to the other stone door.

The two men followed the same method, and after they had cleaned up the stone gate of Jiangdong Fenghuang Palace, they slipped in.

In the palace, only the emperor was sleeping on the dragon bed. There were no eunuchs or palace maids keeping watch. Only a palace lantern was still lit at the end of the bed.

Su Yue had cleared out everything in the palace. Now the palace was deserted. All the original precious pendants and decorations were gone. Only a bare bed was left. It was probably left empty because they were afraid that it would be looted again.

But it was warm in the palace and not cold at all.

Su Yue sneered in his heart. He let the eunuchs stand guard outside and freeze to death, while he was comfortable enough in here alone that he didn't even ask the eunuchs to come into the palace to keep watch.

There are so many secret guards guarding outside, why would you be afraid of a few eunuchs?

It turns out that those who stand at the top are the most afraid of death.

"Yuer, turn around and don't look at him."

Murong Li covered Su Yue's eyes with his hands and said that he didn't want Yue'er to see another man sleeping.

Su Yue curled her lips and turned around obediently. What was so interesting in the middle of winter? It was not like the dog emperor was without clothes.

Murong Li smiled, walked directly to the dragon bed, and picked up the sleeping Dong Fenghuang.

Dong Fenghuang, who was sleeping soundly, felt his neck tighten. He opened his eyes suddenly and was about to curse, but when he saw the face he didn't want to see, he felt panic in his heart.

Is this Murong Li a human or a ghost?

Just as he opened his mouth to call for help, Murong Li grabbed his neck and said casually, "Even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you. You'd better obey me, or I'll break your neck."

"You, are you a human or a ghost? You, what do you want?"

Dong Fenghuang's pupils shrank and his body trembled involuntarily.

Murong Li looked at him with disdain and sneered, "Do you think I am a human or a ghost?"

Dong Feng Huang swallowed his saliva, and seeing Murong Li's shadow, he said with difficulty: "You are not dead."

Murong Li did not die, but Emperor Dong Feng became even more frightened. This matter could not be resolved peacefully.

He stared at Murong Li and said, "Let me go. We can talk things over. Prince Li can make his conditions."

Only by letting Murong Li propose his own conditions can he perhaps save his life.

Murong Li didn't let go of it and nodded, "You want me to make my own conditions to save my life? You are indeed the emperor. You can still keep your composure at this time. I admire you. I have agreed with you before, but you, as the king of a country, went back on your word and set fire to us. How can I trust you again? Hmm~"

Murong Li saw through Dong Fenghuang's thoughts, but he didn't blush at all. His life was in someone's hands, and being embarrassed was useless. He had to find a way to save his life.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I will never break my promise. As for the matter of the posthouse, I don't quite understand what happened, but I will definitely give you an explanation."

He would never admit that he was the one who sent people to burn the post station, and he was not caught on the spot.
