Wasn't that damned Red Turban Army wiped out? It seems they've risen from the ashes again, even daring to come to the palace to assassinate me and His Majesty.
I wouldn't even glance at such ant-like creatures, but I find them utterly detestable.
Last night I was refining pills, and you know what? It was because of these guys who rashly broke into the Yixian Sect that I almost ruined my entire batch of pills!
Inside lies the inner core of the great demon of Hundred Peaks Mountain, and the incense offerings of the entire capital city for a year!
The Golden Cauldron Master was referring to you, not all of you.
Lu Panlong immediately realized what was happening, and knelt down on the ground, frantically kowtowing to Jin Ding Zhenren, pleading, "Grand Preceptor, please forgive me! I truly did not expect the Red Turban Army to rise from the ashes, and they even dared to send assassins!"
Master Jin Ding sighed and said, "Is this something you don't know? Even if the Red Turban Army doesn't rise from the ashes, doesn't that mean someone can still infiltrate the palace to assassinate them?"
Lu Panlong, you've disappointed me greatly. What were you doing yesterday?
Lu Panlong wanted to say something, but under the piercing gaze of Master Jin Ding, he trembled twice and told the truth: "Yesterday I was drinking and carousing at Zuiyue Tower."
Jin Ding Zhenren looked at Lu Panlong and sighed again: "I have actually treated you very well."
Back then, weren't all of Gao Yuanlong's men better than you? But I chose you because you were obedient.
Your martial arts talent wasn't particularly high; it was I who used pills to forcefully push you to the Dao Entry Realm.
Over the years, I have never asked anything of you. I even know about your embezzlement of military funds, but I haven't said anything about it either.
However, there is one thing that I cannot tolerate.
"That's because I've given you so much, yet you haven't served me wholeheartedly!"
Lu Panlong kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me! I really only made a momentary lapse in judgment!"
Di Kui, standing to the side, also said, "Grand Preceptor, Lu Panlong, he..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in Lu Panlong's head, and red and white fluid gushed out instantly.
In that instant, the entire hall fell into complete silence.
Liu Pianpian stood aside with her head down, not daring to speak. Di Kui sighed, feeling quite helpless.
Although he didn't have a good relationship with Lu Panlong, Lu Panlong's easy death at this time still made him feel a sense of shared sorrow.
Yang Sheng appeared to be startled on the surface, but in reality, he was also quite shocked.
The attack that Jin Ding Zhenren just delivered killed Lu Panlong, who had already reached the Dao Entry Realm. His power was simply astonishing.
Most importantly, Yang Sheng didn't detect any power fluctuations at all. It was as if something exploded inside Lu Panlong's body, and suddenly his head exploded.
This bizarre ability is the same as the force that crushed a person into a ball yesterday, and Yang Sheng has absolutely no clue about it.
"Yang Sheng".
"Your subordinate is here."
Master Jin Ding said in a deep voice, "From today onwards, the defense of the capital and the imperial palace will be handled by you."
I don't expect you to make the palace completely impenetrable, but at least be able to detect enemies immediately so as not to disturb me.
Yang Sheng quickly replied, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will do my utmost and live up to your expectations."
Di Kui, who was standing to the side, suddenly paused.
It's normal that Gao Yuanlong is dead and his authority is handed over to someone else.
If Di Kui hadn't spoken up for Lu Panlong, this position might have been his.
But now it's clear that Master Jin Ding trusts Yang Sheng the most, and has begun to feel some disgust towards him.
"Liu Pianpian".
"Your subordinate is here."
Jin Ding Zhenren said coldly, "Those damned Red Turban Army people are extremely annoying. They have the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard, yet they still dare to come to the palace to assassinate me."
Go and bring back the head of the current leader of the Red Turban Army. Don't disappoint me.
Liu Pianpian quickly replied, "Rest assured, Grand Preceptor, I will bring back the head as quickly as possible."
Finally, Jin Ding Zhenren glanced at Di Kui and, under Di Kui's uneasy gaze, said calmly, "Go, take Lu Panlong's body down and bury it."
He's been with me for so many years, after all. Let him have a proper burial, choose an auspicious burial site, and remember to be more diligent in his next life.
"Yes, sir."
Di Kui dragged Lu Panlong's body out of the main hall, a gloomy look appearing in his eyes as he watched Yang Sheng's retreating figure.
Yesterday they were discussing how to deal with Yang Sheng, but today Lu Panlong is dead.
This can be considered a premature death before achieving anything, and Di Kui immediately felt extremely unlucky.
