At the entrance to the back mountain, the imperial guards dared not blink, for they knew very well that their emperor, Liu Jie, was currently at the most critical moment.
"Everyone, please pay attention. There's only one incense stick's time left before it's time to rotate. Don't make any mistakes at this time."
"Don't worry, boss, our defenses are foolproof and unbreakable. Even if the rebels outside really manage to break in, they'll have to stay out there obediently."
"Whoosh..."
At the same moment they were speaking, a pale white crescent moon appeared before them.
The speed was too fast; there was absolutely no chance to react, no chance to dodge or block before the attack arrived.
"boom……"
Ye Li's target was the ground beneath these people's feet. He activated his Daoist essence, similar to that of a dragon, and these people flew up along with the ground.
"Damn it, enemy attack!"
The squad leader in mid-air hurled his short sword forcefully, smashing it against the stone wall at the entrance with a loud bang, thus alerting his comrades inside that something terrible had happened.
At the same time, a white figure strolled leisurely through the Dragon Guards who were still in mid-air.
The speed was so fast that even though the soldiers had already activated their Daoist forms, they could only see afterimages. The newcomer was none other than Ye Li.
He had just overheard what these people were saying, about an impregnable defense.
Since he's already here, wouldn't it be disrespectful not to break through their defenses?
"I have arrived, Emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty. I hope you will give me the answer I seek."
Upon entering that passage, Ye Li finally saw the black aura representing resentment.
He hadn't seen it before, but once he arrived at this place, the resentment almost materialized in his eyes.
The black mist condensed into faces and claws, which waved and swayed in mid-air, muttering incantations of resentment and unwillingness.
"Why, why us..."
"We just want to live, why can't we even fulfill this simple wish?"
"My child, pay with your life for my child!"
Endless resentment echoed, and as the only one here who could see and hear their presence, Ye Li was under considerable pressure.
However, it wasn't a big problem. Li Zhi's previous illusion had made him more resilient to these negative emotions, and the purified lingering thoughts turned into white light to protect his body and mind.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon. I'm listening to your grievances, and I understand your pain."
Now, I will go and find the culprit behind all this, and make him pay for the lives of all people.
"■..."
Ye Li responded to their call with concrete actions, and they, in turn, gave Ye Li more strength with high hopes.
The passage was not long, and in addition to the outermost line of defense, there were three more lines of blockade by the Dragon Guards inside.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they were no match for Ye Li.
The crossbow bolts were ineffective; the powerful arrows couldn't even tear the white robes on his hands.
Swords and blades were useless; their weapons were all broken by Ye Li's sword energy before they could even be swung.
The obstruction of flesh and blood, the difference in speed and strength was like heaven and earth. Ye Li was like a lucky charm on a national highway, and those in front of him were not even considered speed bumps.
"tread……"
Finally, he overcame all obstacles and arrived at the hollow inside the mountain.
They saw a pool of blood, and also saw Emperor Liu Jie standing in front of it.
This is also the fourth update today. There will be more later, so please wait.
