Chapter 142 Breaking into the Imperial Palace at Night, Your Majesty, Don’t Look Back, I Am Your Majesty
The Great Yan Dynasty, inside the harem.
"ah!!!"
Accompanied by a sharp cry.
A palace concubine with disheveled hair and white eyes looked like she was possessed by an evil spirit.
Constantly attacking everything and everyone around it.
In response to this, several palace guards around showed fear on their faces.
But he still found a way to go forward, hug her, and restrict her movements.
But for some reason, this concubine had terrifying strength at this moment.
So much so that he was facing the palace guards around him who had practiced martial arts for many years.
The concubine almost broke free from her restraints several times.
She doesn't look like a weak woman at all.
Seeing this, none of the eunuchs and palace maids around dared to step forward.
Even the Emperor Ji Yuan of the Great Yan Dynasty was standing far away at this time.
Looking at the concubine who was still going crazy, Ji Yuan frowned and asked, "Hasn't the people from the Tianshi Mansion arrived yet?"
Hearing his words, a eunuch beside him said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I just asked the guards to go to the Tianshi Mansion to invite the Tianshi over. I think he should be here soon."
After hearing this, Emperor Ji Yuan said nothing more.
He just looked at the crazy concubine not far away with an expressionless face.
You have to know that this is the third time such a thing has happened in the harem this month.
The imperial palace of the Great Yan Dynasty had now turned into a haunted place where evil spirits and monsters roamed.
If this matter were to spread out, would their Great Yan Dynasty still have any face left?
Just when the Great Yan Emperor Ji Yuan and others were getting a little impatient, Qiu Wenguang finally appeared with Lu Chen and others.
Seeing the unfamiliar faces of Lu Chen and the other two.
Ji Yuan's personal eunuch immediately understood what he meant and stepped forward to ask.
"Master Qiu, I wonder who these three are?"
Qiu Wenguang pointed at Lu Chen and the others and introduced them, "These three fellow Taoists are sword cultivators who came from East Shenzhou. Because the local sect was unwilling to accept them, they wanted to join the Tianshi Mansion of our Great Yan Dynasty."
Hearing this, the eunuch first glanced at Emperor Ji Yuan who was not far away.
After noticing that the other party nodded, the eunuch immediately smiled and said to Lu Chen and others: "Please come in, Heavenly Masters. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
Lu Chen nodded, then quietly observed his surroundings with his Green Lotus Pupils.
As expected, he could tell at a glance the strange spiritual power that belonged exclusively to Gu Qie in the Great Yan Palace.
Although this spiritual power is very weak, so weak that even a Jindan stage cultivator may not be able to detect it.
But for Lu Chen, who had dealt with evil creatures many times, finding them was not a problem at all.
You know, before he entered the palace, he had actually seen the faint ancient gray mist hovering in the sky above the palace.
However, Lu Chen did not show it at this time, as if he had not noticed anything.
Led by the eunuch, several people came before Emperor Ji Yuan.
"Your Majesty, I, Qiu Wenguang, pay my respects to you."
Qiu Wenguang, who was only at the eighth level of Qi training, immediately knelt down respectfully in front of Ji Yuan.
Lu Chen and others beside him did not react at all, but just nodded slightly to Ji Yuan.
Just kidding, not to mention that the three of them are true disciples of Yuxu Mountain and Qingyun Sect.
Their cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage alone is enough to allow them to ignore most worldly etiquette.
To be honest, it was Ji Yuan who needed to bow after seeing the three of them.
This is what happens when secular monarchies face practitioners.
Therefore, even if their identities were hidden, the three of them did not need to salute Ji Yuan.
When Ji Yuan saw the reactions of Lu Chen and the other two, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
But he is not from an ordinary family after all.
This displeasure was quickly hidden, and he said to Lu Chen and the others with a smile: "It is a blessing for our Great Yan Dynasty to have several immortals join us."
"Once this matter is over, I will immediately hold a banquet for you all to welcome you, the immortals."
"banquet?!"
Shangguan Yunmeng didn't hear anything else but the word "banquet".
Then he immediately said with a serious face: "Don't worry, leave it to us."
"Then I'll trouble you, the immortals."
"It's just a small matter!"
Shangguan Yunmeng took the lead and walked directly into the concubine's palace.
But when Shangguan Yunmeng entered the bedroom, he saw the other person's hideous face and white eyes.
The originally confident expression froze in an instant.
Although it is a bit embarrassing, as a cultivator, Shangguan Yunmeng is indeed a little afraid of the so-called evil spirits in the underworld!
Looking at Shangguan Yunmeng who was standing there in a daze, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.
Then his pupils turned into lotus shapes and he began to observe the true and false nature of this crazy concubine.
With the help of Qingliantong, Lu Chen quickly saw a soul living in the body of this concubine.
Judging from the other party's dress, the evil ghost seemed to be a concubine of the Great Yan Dynasty.
At this point, things are very clear.
What is happening to this concubine right now is just a simple case of being possessed by a ghost.
However, Lu Chen did not rush to solve the problem. Instead, he asked Qiu Wenguang beside him: "Can you tell me what happened before?"
Qiu Wenguang did not answer immediately, but looked at Emperor Ji Yuan.
After some thought, Ji Yuan decided to tell the truth to Lu Chen and others himself.
"What the immortals don't know is that this matter has to start from my Empress Xiao six years ago."
"Empress Xiao is my first empress. She and I grew up together and have a deep relationship."
"But perhaps because of my deep love for you, ever since Empress Xiao passed away six years ago, I have been so sad that I have contracted a strange disease called sleepwalking."
"At first, I would just walk around the bedroom casually after falling asleep."
"But slowly, this sleepwalking became more and more serious."
"So much so that half a year ago, I accidentally killed one of my favorite concubines."
"I felt guilty, so I didn't have his body cremated, but buried it properly."
"But perhaps because her hatred towards me was too deep, that concubine repeatedly tried to possess my other concubines and come to take my life."
"In this regard, the Imperial Master once said that as long as the concubine's body is found and cremated, the chaos in the harem can be resolved."
"But for some reason, the concubine's body was secretly stolen and has disappeared."
"If the concubine's body cannot be found, even if the Imperial Master has a high level of cultivation, he will not be able to completely resolve the issue of this female ghost seeking revenge."
"Masters, do you have any solution?"
Facing Emperor Ji Yuan's question, Yi Hanqing looked thoughtful, while Shangguan Yunmeng hid behind Lu Chen in fear.
After a moment, Lu Chen said, "Let her go."
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this, the few palace guards who had managed to restrain the man possessed by the evil spirit immediately looked embarrassed.
It was not known whether Lu Chen was too calm or Emperor Ji Yuan felt that continuing like this was not a solution.
He immediately ordered several palace guards: "Didn't you hear what the Immortal said? Why don't you let her go quickly?"
"Yes, yes, sir."
As soon as the possessed concubine was released, she immediately pounced towards Emperor Ji Yuan.
In response to this, Ji Yuan actually had a bit of imperial demeanor. He didn't even have the thought of avoiding her and stared at her with his eyes wide open.
"Certainly."
Just when the concubine was about to approach Emperor Ji Yuan, a calm voice came from behind Emperor Ji Yuan.
Immediately afterwards, a special talisman cut through the sky and landed on the concubine's forehead.
The concubine, who originally had a ferocious look on her face and moved frantically, stopped where she was, as if she had been cast under a spell of immobilization.
This miraculous scene was so amazing that even the people of the Great Yan Dynasty who had never seen the world were shocked.
Even King Wumiao and Yi Hanqing, who were fellow disciples of Lu Chen, were a little surprised.
After all, they didn't know that in addition to his outstanding swordsmanship, Lu Chen also had beautiful talisman skills.
In other words, Yi Hanqing and King Wumiao are not disciples of Wanfu Peak.
Otherwise they would definitely be even more shocked at this moment.
Because the talisman Lu Chen used was not an ordinary talisman, but a magical talisman that had reached the realm-breaking level.
[Forget River Curse: Broken Mirror (Cannot be upgraded)]
[Effect: The water of the Forgotten River, the place where lonely souls live. When cast, it can directly attack the cultivator's soul and shorten his life span.]
[Special Effect: Huangquan: Can reverse yin and yang, and control some dead things]
The Forgotten River Curse was a water-based talismanic magical power that Lu Chen had specially cultivated in order to make his water spiritual roots undergo a qualitative transformation.
Because Lu Chen later focused on swordsmanship, he almost forgot this magical power.
That is, just after seeing the female ghost that possessed the concubine.
Lu Chen just remembered that he also knew this magical talisman that could be used to restrain evil things.
The result was just as Lu Chen expected.
As the Forgetfulness Curse struck the concubine's forehead, shadows began to flicker around her body.
That was the Forgetfulness Curse fighting with the caster behind the scenes for control of the female ghost.
After some secret struggle, Lu Chen snorted coldly.
"receive."
Under Lu Chen's control, the female ghost possessing the concubine immediately turned into a dark yellow bead and fell into Lu Chen's hands.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Ji Yuan and Qiu Wenguang from the Tianshi Mansion were stunned for a while.
No, it’s a female ghost that even the imperial master couldn’t deal with.
How come this new immortal was able to solve the problem so easily with just a few moves? Was this new immortal too powerful, or was the imperial master too weak?
However, this question did not last long in Emperor Ji Yuan's mind.
Because at this time he had already focused his attention on the dark yellow bead in Lu Chen's hand.
"Master, is this matter resolved?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Yes, and no."
"ah?!"
Emperor Ji Yuan looked at him and asked, "Why do you say that, Immortal?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that this female ghost is not the female ghost you know. At best, she is just a resentful puppet with only resentment but no soul."
"If I can't find the ghost tamer who controls the concubine's corpse, then the best I can do is to deal with this resentful puppet once it appears, but I can't completely eradicate it."
Hearing this, Emperor Ji Yuan seemed to have expected this, and sighed, "What the Immortal said is exactly the same as what the Imperial Master said. It seems that the key to the problem is to find the ghost rider hiding in the dark."
Lu Chen nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much, because it will take some time for the ghost rider to condense the resentful puppet."
"This time is related to the concentration of Yin energy in her environment."
"Your Majesty, why don't you have someone investigate the morgue or cemetery near the imperial city? I think there will be some gains."
"If there is nothing else, the three of us will say goodbye for now."
"After all, we have been exhausted from the long journey and have not had a good rest since arriving at the Imperial City."
Hearing this, Emperor Ji Yuan immediately said: "In that case, those immortals should have a good rest."
"A small hurdle..."
"The servant is here."
"You should escort the immortals out of the palace. If they have any requests, don't tell me. Just do your best to do it."
"I understand."
Under the guidance of the eunuch named Xiao Guanzi, Lu Chen and others quickly returned to the Tianshi Mansion in the imperial city.
After selecting several of the best mansions and handing them over to Lu Chen and his group, Xiao Guanzi wisely left.
After the outsiders were gone, Lu Chen casually threw several isolation talismans around to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping on their subsequent conversation.
"Junior Brother Lu, you should already know who is secretly making trouble in the palace, right?"
Hearing Yi Hanqing's words, Shangguan Yunmeng next to him looked confused.
How do I suddenly know who is causing trouble in the palace?
Aren't the three of them always together? Why didn't she know anything? Could it be that while she was in a daze, Lu Chen and Yi Hanqing had obtained some key information? Although I don't understand why Yi Hanqing is so sure that Lu Chen has guessed the truth.
But Shangguan Yunmeng took the attitude that even if I didn’t understand, I had to pretend that I understood, otherwise it would seem that I was out of place.
So she immediately put on a 'cold' look that I had known for a long time, and acted like she knew everything.
In response to Yi Hanqing's question, Lu Chen nodded and said, "Although the resentful puppet is elusive, Senior Brother Yi also knows that I have practiced a special pupil technique that allows me to see things that ordinary people cannot see."
"So as early as the moment I pulled out the resentful puppet, I actually saw the connection between this resentful puppet and someone in the palace."
King Wumiao, who jumped onto the table, heard this and immediately asked, "Why don't you tell the Great Yan Emperor that you don't trust him?"
Lu Chen nodded: "He didn't tell us the truth."
After these words were spoken, King Meow and Yi Hanqing were silent for a long time.
After a moment, Yi Hanqing spoke.
"What do you think? Should we charge directly into the palace, or continue investigating?"
"I have observed that there is at most one Fake Dan Stage cultivator in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. With the three of us brothers joining forces, plus fellow Daoist Yunmeng, the mere Fake Dan Stage cultivator is nothing to worry about."
Lu Chen tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, and then said, "No hurry, I came here mainly to investigate some secrets hidden here."
"So before we are absolutely sure, we should not act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy."
It was not difficult for Lu Chen to find the evildoer and kill him.
But if you want Qingyun Sect to believe in the existence of Henie and understand the seriousness of the Henie problem.
This requires Lu Chen to plan carefully.
After all, in a sense, the only difference between the evildoers and ordinary demons is the ancient evil behind them.
Therefore, if Lu Chen wanted Qingyun Sect to take Gu Nie seriously, the best way would undoubtedly be to let them see Gu Nie's existence with their own eyes.
Only in this way can Qingyun Sect pay attention to Henie.
As for what to do, Lu Chen already had a plan in mind.
But before that, he still needs to go to the palace tonight.
Late at night, Dayan Palace.
"Empress, it's late at night. Please don't wait here any longer. It looks like His Majesty won't be coming tonight."
"The servants have warmed up the bathtub. Your Majesty can take a bath anytime."
Hearing this, Li Ruomei, the current queen of the Great Yan Dynasty, who was sitting in the palace, sighed, then stood up and said, "Then help me bathe and change clothes."
"yes."
Dressed as two palace maids, Li Ruomei quickly stepped into the bathtub and began to bathe.
And she didn't know what she discovered, and suddenly said: "You two go out first, I'll stay here alone for a while."
"yes."
After the two palace maids left, Li Ruomei leaned back in the bathtub and said without turning her head, "Since the Immortal Master is here, there's no need to hide anymore, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately walked out of the shadows and came to a place not far from Li Ruomei.
In this situation, Lu Chen suddenly thought of a sentence in his mind for no reason.
Don't look back, my lady. I am Your Majesty! Although the specific circumstances were somewhat different, the scene was indeed surprisingly similar to that one.
Lu Chen looked at Li Ruomei who was still bathing calmly, and said calmly: "Tell me everything you know, including why you cursed the Great Yan Emperor."
Hearing this, Li Ruomei took the robe hanging next to her, put it on herself, and stood up from the bathtub.
She looked at Lu Chen not far away, and a sneer appeared on her bright face.
"Master, are you sure you want to know?"
"You know, once you know this, there's no going back."
As she spoke, Li Ruomei took the initiative to walk towards Lu Chen.
And on her delicate shoulders, there was a charming plum blossom pattern tattooed.
"Rather than going back, I want to know whether the Queen has ever heard the words Black Lotus Sect."
As soon as these words came out, Li Ruomei's expression instantly became stiff, her pupils were tightly locked, and she looked incredulous...
