Chu Hongluan's biggest weakness right now is her internal strength.
If it really can improve quickly—
After that, the plan became much more efficient.
"Please give me some guidance, senior."
The old man smiled with satisfaction, walked to Chu Hongluan's side, raised his palm, and placed it on her forehead—pouring in all thirty years of his inner strength.
The fastest way to increase internal energy, bar none.
Chu Hongluan's face suddenly turned deathly pale. She felt a sharp pain in her head, and her limbs and bones felt as if they were being burned by karmic fire.
Liu Jinghong subconsciously took a step forward, but only one step.
......
At 11:15 that night, Chu Hongluan returned to the basement of the manor alone, lit a refreshing incense, and then unleashed a burst of internal energy, shouting, "How long are you all going to sleep!"
The sound was so loud it shook the ground.
The incense took effect, waking the demonic cultivators. They looked around and suddenly remembered what had happened!
The female demon who had accidentally triggered the mechanism knelt down with a thud: "Please punish me, Protector Yu!"
Chu Hongluan flicked her sleeve, sending him flying!
"Punishment! What's your life worth? You ruined His Majesty's grand plan! I'll make you wish you were dead!"
No one spoke up for her; everyone just glared at her hatefully. The fact that they didn't criticize her verbally or in writing was already more than enough.
They were also relieved that Protector Yu had profound inner strength and woke up early, otherwise they would have been sleeping for who knows how long!
If things go wrong, a few righteous disciples might come in and slaughter them all.
"Listen carefully, time waits for no one. I have a grand plan that, if successful, can annihilate all righteous disciples in an instant."
"I am willing to obey Protector Yu's orders!"
......
Half an incense stick later, the numerous demonic cultivators, having received their orders, surged out of the manor with great pride and high spirits, each of them displaying obvious excitement and exhilaration.
Chu Hongluan returned to the main hall upstairs and restored the secret passage. Liu Jinghong and Ke Tinghe also emerged from the shadows.
Next, another group of workers who were supposed to be waiting for her appeared.
By the time of Chou (1-3 AM), everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived.
Ke Tinghe and Liu Jinghong stood behind Chu Hongluan like bodyguards. One carried a sword, exuding a majestic and domineering aura; the other held a fan, displaying a dashing and debonair air.
Chu Hongluan cleared her throat and said, "I have already explained the whole story to everyone. Since you are all here, it proves that you believe me. Now, I will issue the first task."
"etc!"
A female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect interrupted her.
The woman was beautiful, wearing a loose-fitting red dress similar to Chu Hongluan's, with the neckline slipping down to reveal half of her shoulder. Her features were delicate and charming, and her makeup was just right.
On her own, she is incredibly charming.
If you look at Chu Hongluan and then at her, she seems like a vulgar courtesan.
“We are all capable and extraordinary people here. Why should you, a woman, give orders?”
Sometimes, it is women who harbor the greatest malice towards women.
"Why should I?" Chu Hongluan smiled slightly.
In an instant, the surrounding air surged, and the killing intent spread. Her full head of black hair flew wildly, and with a flick of her hand, the door slammed shut!
Do you think I'm discussing this with you?
As she drew her sword, Ke Tinghe also drew his. Liu Jinghong put her left hand behind her back and spread her right hand out, causing the jade fan to spin rapidly in her palm, as if it were about to fly out and start a massacre.
"Those who disobey shall die."
The girl parted her red lips slightly, uttering one icy word after another.
The Hehuan Sect female cultivator who had initially provoked the trouble swallowed hard, but still stubbornly pointed at Chu Hongluan's nose, saying imperiously, "You—if you have the guts, then really do it! Let's see who you can find to help you deal with the demonic cultivators after you kill us!"
Those who know Chu Hongluan know that she never likes to waste time talking before a battle.
So at this moment, Chu Hongluan directly swung her sword!
With a flash of sharp light, the arm of the Hehuan Sect female cultivator was severed cleanly at the root! Mixed with blood, it drew a strange and beautiful parabola in the air!
"ah--"
The female cultivator screamed in agony as she was thrown out by the force of the energy!
"Get out of here, you're out."
The door slammed shut again with a dull thud.
"Hey, young lady, don't be so impetuous at such a young age—"
A middle-aged male cultivator stepped forward, intending to rely on his age and experience to seek some justice. If he could win everyone's approval, he could become the leader.
Chu Hongluan glanced at him and sneered.
The next second, the door popped open again! Then it closed instantly!
But the middle-aged male cultivator was no longer inside the room.
"You get out too."
"......"
Liu Jinghong's bodyguards were squatting outside. Anyone thrown out was knocked unconscious and sent back to where they came from.
Inside the hall, everyone looked at each other, their arrogance subsiding.
Qiao Yue's eyes sparkled as she stared at Chu Hongluan, practically drooling, but her words were sarcastic and biting.
"Some people can't stand seeing others more beautiful than them. They deliberately pick fights out of jealousy, but they insist on using everyone's name to pretend they are not. How disgusting!"
Li Dazhuang: "That's right, that's right."
She continued her tirade, "And that good-for-nothing who got thrown out in one move just now, all those decades of martial arts skills have gone to waste, and he still tries to act like an old man. He's so embarrassing."
Li Dazhuang: "That's right, that's right."
"If you ask me, Miss Chu was the first to discover the truth. We who are still living in a dream and waiting for others to lend a hand should just obediently follow orders."
Li Dazhuang: "That's right, that's right."
Their back-and-forth banter almost made Chu Hongluan lose her composure; she smirked, then suppressed it.
Hearing Qiao Yue's words, the others understood that while the language was rough, the reasoning was sound. Most of them were neutral and had no intention of causing trouble.
Moreover, anyone who has practiced martial arts could immediately see the profound skill Chu Hongluan possessed in that move.
This person is so ruthless and decisive; if they continue to cause trouble, they will definitely not gain anything.
Looking at the two people behind her, just standing there already exuded a strong sense of pressure.
Those who understand the times are wise.
"We will obey Miss Chu's orders."
Chu Hongluan nodded calmly and sheathed her sword.
Thank you Elder Daozong for the thirty years of internal energy; it smells wonderful.
Liu Jinghong and Ke Tinghe also stopped their commotion, and the atmosphere returned to its initial "harmonious" state.
Chu Hongluan wasted no more time. After issuing the instructions, she led the crowd toward the palace.
Leaping and bounding along the walls, Chu Hongluan was far ahead of the group, with Liu Jinghong and Ke Tinghe close behind.
Liu Jinghong glanced at Chu Hongluan's graceful figure, then looked at her own empty arms, and sighed silently.
Upon entering the palace, they were like barbarians crossing a border; they knocked out anyone they encountered, carried them, dragged them, and headed straight for the emperor's bedroom.
