Chang'an, deep in the imperial city.
This is a remote palace with crows resting inside. It is pitch black everywhere.
The walls surrounding the palace were all blood-red, with ivy growing on the tiles and moss growing everywhere.
At the gate, above the door beam hung a long purple-gold plaque with the three blood-red characters "Qian Sui Palace" appearing wild and overbearing. If one stared at it for too long, one could actually feel a murderous aura coming towards them, making one's brows chill.
Ten "men" dressed in luxurious clothes, with noble temperaments and handsome looks stood outside the Qiansui Palace, all with worried and melancholy expressions.
These ten people are the leaders of the eunuch party, the Ten Attendants, who have the most power in the world and even the new emperor has to obey them.
"The Ninth Princess has not been captured yet. Grandpa is extremely concerned about this matter. We have delayed for so long and still haven't been able to capture her. I'm afraid she will inevitably suffer a disaster today." An Dianlian said in a low voice.
A man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes beside him immediately responded, "Let's go. We can't avoid this. We can only ask the master to give us a little more time."
The ten people walked into the Qiansui Palace in silence.
Qiansui Palace was as cold as the Far North. The moment they stepped into the palace, they were hit by a chill. All ten people were highly skilled in martial arts. They directly activated their internal energy to protect their bodies and blocked the cold air outside their bodies.
Haha!
Knowing that an outsider had entered, all the crows in the palace spread their wings and flew away, cawing continuously. For a moment, the crows covered the sky and hovered over the Qiansui Palace, seeming to have changed the color of the sky.
There was such a gloomy and strange place in the Chang'an Imperial City, but even the new emperor himself didn't know about it.
Not long after the Ten Attendants left, an old figure with a hunched back and a cane slowly walked towards them from the front.
He had a head full of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. He only had one eye left, which he stared at An Dianlian and the other ten people with a weird look. At the same time, his lips, which were strung with a small iron ring, curled up into an arc, and he looked at the people in front of him with a half-smile.
At this time, the sky was darkened by the crows flying in the sky. The old man was wearing a black robe and holding an octagonal lantern from the palace in his other hand. The candlelight was dim, but it was already the most dazzling light here.
Upon seeing this man, the Ten Eunuchs immediately knelt down and addressed him respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Xuanming."
"Judging from your looks, the Ninth Princess hasn't been caught yet." Lord Xuanming laughed strangely. His voice was very low and hoarse, as if someone was rubbing an iron brush against your bones vigorously, making you feel sore all over.
An Dianlian kowtowed quickly and said, "Please, Lord Xuanming, plead for us in front of the Nine Thousand Year Old Man. We will definitely capture the Ninth Princess as soon as possible."
"I am in a good mood today, you guys come with me." Lord Xuanming turned around and walked towards the tallest hall in the shape of a pagoda in the distance.
This hall is extremely tall, at least three meters tall, and is umbrella-shaped. It is pitch black and made of black wood and black tiles. On both sides of the hall door, there are four ferocious and evil ghost-faced yakshas, each one ten meters tall. Each statue is lifelike, and any ordinary person seeing this would be scared to death.
There are also many carvings of evil demons and ghosts on the stone steps, which are so numerous that they are comparable to a ghost den.
"Disciple pays homage to His Majesty the Ninth Prince." The Ten Eunuchs did not dare to enter the room. They had to kneel down and salute the hall first, then kowtow nine times, crawl on the ground, and touch the ground with their heads, not daring to move.
call!!!
A gust of cold wind immediately blew out from the depths of the hall, caressing everyone's body. Lord Xuanming, who was standing nearby, saw countless dead souls in the cold wind, which disappeared in an instant as soon as they left the hall. It was extremely strange.
"Come in."
After hearing the permission from the voice that seemed neither far nor near, the Ten Attendants dared to stand up and walked into the hall cautiously.
In the main hall, there are iron pillars with Prajna ghosts holding plates in the four corners. Sitting cross-legged on each pillar is a beautiful woman dressed in black gauze, with a perfect figure and appearance.
An Dianlian stole a glance and couldn't help but think to herself, "Prajnatha has returned. It seems that things in the north have made great progress."
Against the south wall of the main hall is a huge Buddha statue. This Buddha is two and a half meters tall, with a huge body. Half of his body is in a gray cassock and the other half is in black armor. His left hand is placed on his knee with his fingers picked up, and his right hand holds a knife horizontally on his left forearm.
What is surprising is that this Buddha statue has two heads.
A pair of flat eyebrows, kind eyes and a kind smile on the corners of the mouth.
A glaring eye and a face full of demonic patterns.
It's really strange, strange.
Under the altar of the great Buddha, there is an iron seat in the shape of a coiled snake, with a man with red hair and a white face sitting on the head of the snake.
He has a strong build, long eyes and a thin mouth, and is extremely intimidating. He is the leader of the Wugen Sect, who is nine thousand years old.
"Grandpa." An Dianlian and others said respectfully.
"Where is the little girl I want?" Jiu Qiansui opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.
An Dianlian shuddered all over. As one of the Ten Attendants, he always looked calm and composed in front of everyone. He would only lose his composure like this in front of the Ninth Thousand Year Old.
"Master, please, give us a little more time. Five days. I will definitely bring the Ninth Princess back to you within five days."
call!
A palm force hit him, and An Dianlian didn't even have time to react. He flew high in the air and fell five feet away, rolling several times on the ground.
A big bump appeared on his face, which made An Dianlian's handsome face look ugly.
In fact, if An Dianlian could use his internal strength to resist, he would not be injured like this, but in front of the Nine Thousand Year Old, he did not dare to block it.
If he doesn't block it and still survives, it means that the Nine Thousand Year Old Man doesn't want to kill him yet.
