Lin Moyu took a deep breath and said softly:
"Enter the palace to meet the Emperor!"
In order to expose the evidence of the Western Sea King's rebellion, she went through countless life-threatening experiences from Tianfeng City and finally arrived at the Imperial City.
At this moment, Lin Moyu felt both incredibly excited and incredibly sad.
For the sake of all living beings, all but one of the more than five hundred members of the Lin family perished under the sword of the King of the West Sea.
Fortunately, I met Lingyun.
Then, the group stepped into the Heavenly Dynasty City.
The moment Lin Moyu entered the imperial city, one of the city's commanders pointed at him and berated him:
"Lin Moyu, daughter of a traitor! Guards, seize her and take her to the palace!"
It turns out that the Heavenly Dynasty City has a formation. Anyone entering the city is not only subject to strict checks, but the formation can also reveal one's true appearance, and any disguise will be exposed.
In the eyes of the leader, Po is now just like a giant panda.
boom!
The next moment!
Hundreds of elite Imperial Guards clad in golden armor rushed out and surrounded Ling Yun and his group.
Seeing this, A Bao and Shangguan Hong's expressions darkened, and they prepared to draw their swords.
Ling Yun patted them on the shoulder, signaling them not to act rashly.
"The Imperial Guards at the Nascent Soul Realm came in person. It doesn't seem like they're escorting someone; it's clearly a mission to protect them."
A Bao was stunned for a moment. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was indeed an escort. Judging from the posture of the Imperial Guards, they were clearly guarding against outsiders, not their own people.
It seems the emperor truly didn't believe the Lin family's rebellion.
Immediately, the Imperial Guards surrounded them and escorted Ling Yun and his party to the palace.
The Heavenly Dynasty City is extremely strict. Flying is prohibited within the city, and all cultivators can only walk or run. Even when riding a horse, they must follow specific routes.
Escorted by the Imperial Guards, the group entered the Imperial Road, a passage exclusively for members of the royal family, which offered the fastest route into the imperial city.
Along the way, A Bao, Shangguan Hong, Yan Ruyu, and Xiao Yanran cautiously observed everything around Lin Moyu.
Now, Ah Bao and his friends see everyone as an assassin. Even the baby in a woman's arms with a pacifier in its mouth, Ah Bao thinks there's a hidden weapon in the pacifier.
Ling Yun patted his shoulder and laughed:
"Don't be nervous, wipe the sweat from your forehead!"
Ah Bao smiled awkwardly, wiping his sweat as he said:
"Brother, the Seven Kills Hall Master will definitely make a move, but we know nothing about Him. If even a Guardian-level assassin is this powerful, what will become of the Hall Master?"
Their tension stemmed from their wariness of the Seven Kills Hall Master, a legendary figure in the assassin world.
The Seven Killings Hall has been established for 100,000 years, and has never failed in its millions of assassination attempts.
The highest-level assassination missions are all carried out by the Palace Master himself, so it is clear that this assassination of Lin Moyu is a top-level mission.
The short 10-kilometer journey felt like an eternity.
However, the journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe.
Upon arriving at the palace, all the Imperial Guards lined up on both sides to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
Half an hour later, Ling Yun and his party arrived at the gate of the emperor's bedroom.
Lin Moyu took a deep breath and said sternly:
"Lin Moyu, daughter of Lin Hai, the city lord of Tianfeng City, requests an audience with His Majesty!"
Soon, a kind-looking old eunuch emerged from the palace.
"Lin Moyu is permitted to enter the palace!"
"Miss Lin, please come with me!"
The old eunuch, holding a whisk, had an air of otherworldly wisdom that made him seem approachable.
Lin Moyu nodded slightly and walked towards the palace gate.
After taking only two steps, Lin Moyu's pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a look of horror.
They hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.
She was only a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) away from the old eunuch, a distance so close that an assassin could kill her with almost no effort.
Pfft~
Lin Moyu's body exploded, his form and soul annihilated!
"Protect the Emperor!"
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone. The commander of the Imperial Guards was the first to react and immediately mobilized his men to surround the eunuch.
"Wang Fugui! Attempting assassination in the palace is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards roared angrily.
The eunuch named Wang Fugui sneered:
"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean. I am Yuwen Xinghui, the Lord of the Seven Killings Hall!"
His hoarse voice was replaced by a deep, resonant male voice.
"There's no mission that my Seven Killings Hall can't complete, and even if you, Ling Yun, protect me, it's useless!"
Yuwen Xinghui pointed at Ling Yun and said sarcastically, his voice full of pleasure.
He was not after treasures, power, or women.
For fame only!
Yuwen Xinghui was a notorious villain who bullied men and women, robbed and plundered, and committed almost every kind of evil.
Until one day, he saw the bounty list and wanted list of the Tianyuan Dynasty, both of which ranked him tenth.
Upon seeing this ranking, Yuwen Xinghui was furious. He had committed so many heinous crimes, yet he was ranked tenth.
At that time, Yuwen Xinghui decided to kill all nine people ahead of him so that he could become number one on the bounty list and the wanted list.
Thus, he himself became the number one villain of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
As he continued killing, he transformed himself into a top assassin, eventually establishing the Seven Killings Hall.
The Seven Killings Hall has a simple requirement for assassins: they must be people who do everything except good deeds.
It is precisely because of its obsession with fame that the Seven Killings Palace has never failed in its 100,000 years of existence.
This is why Yuwen Xinghui has lost his mind due to the recent repeated failures in his assassination attempts on Lin Moyu.
"You are actually Yuwen Xinghui, the Lord of the Seven Killings Hall!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards said in disbelief, in his memory the old eunuch in front of him was Wang Fugui, who was respected by everyone. Although he held great power in the court, he was kind to everyone.
They never bully the weak.
It even saved the lives of many good officials.
He simply couldn't connect Wang Fugui with Yuwen Xinghui, the most villainous man in the world.
"Haha..." Yuwen Xinghui waved his hand, revealing a face full of hostility and gloom:
"You didn't expect that, did you!"
"Even if I die today, my Seven Killings Palace will still be an undefeated legend, and I, Yuwen Xinghui, will still have no record of defeat!"
Looking to the past, present, and future, the Seven Kill Hall will forever be a legend in the world of assassins.
Inside the palace, the emperor sat on his dragon throne, coldly observing everything. In his view, Wang Fugui had clearly lost his composure.
The next moment!
A woman appeared behind Ling Yun; it was Lin Moyu.
Previously, it was an avatar of hers; her true form was hidden inside the Refining Heaven Cauldron.
This was to guard against assassinations that were difficult to prevent.
After all, with the Seven Killings Palace Master personally taking action, even Ling Yun couldn't guarantee that he could defend against it.
Both the secular world and the cultivation world have a lot of headaches dealing with assassin organizations.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Yuwen Xinghui's eyes were filled with disbelief and morbid madness.
"You must be an illusion. I killed Lin Moyu long ago. You are not Lin Moyu!"
As he spoke, Yuwen Xinghui made a move, but was suppressed by the commander of the Imperial Guards, who was prepared.
The next moment!
Yuwen Xinghui roared:
"Our Seven Killings Hall only knows success, not failure!"
As he spoke, his abdomen swelled up, as if he were preparing to self-destruct and take everyone with him.
Seeing this, Ling Yun flicked his finger, defusing Yuwen Xinghui's self-destruction.
"I'll send you to ascension!"
