West Palace.

Phoenix Palace.

The Queen's bedroom.

"Senior Sister, Mingchou and Lanyin disappeared for a while after leaving the Tiandao Fighting Field, and then reappeared. Mingchou returned to Fengxue Pavilion, and Lanyin returned to Chang'an Palace."

"Our people discovered that the emperor also sent people to keep an eye on Mingchou, Lanyin, and... Ruomei."

The palace maid was reporting to Lin Yuan about the tracking of Ming Chou and Lan Yin.

Lin Yuan leaned back on the phoenix chair, her eyes narrowed slightly, her expression lazy, and nodded slightly when she heard the words:

"Keep watching. Don't worry about the people on the emperor's side. If he likes, it's fine to take ten more concubines. Anyway, he will be replaced as the emperor after the Feixian Ceremony is over."

The maid paused and continued, "Zhou Qing has returned to his home and has not left. Senior Sister, he seems to be...waiting for someone."

Lin Yuan opened her eyes, a tender look on her face: "Zhou Lang is waiting for me."

At this time, the voices of other palace maids were heard outside: "The emperor has arrived."

The maid disappeared, and Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with impatience, but she soon regained her calmness and stood up to greet him:

"Your Majesty."

Wu Zheng walked into the bedroom, took Lin Yuan's hand, and said worriedly:

"Empress, the eunuch just reported that the imperial mausoleum suddenly collapsed. This is an ominous sign. I am really worried!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "That's just an external object. Your Majesty, don't worry. The dragon's body is more important."

Wu Zheng put his arm around Lin Yuan's waist and said with a smile, "The Queen is right. Fortunately, I have you."

"emperor……"

Wu Zheng embraced Lin Yuan and walked towards the phoenix bed. The disgust on Lin Yuan's face flashed away, and she put her hands around Wu Zheng's neck:

"You just married Concubine Yun, but you always come to my place. Aren't you afraid that Concubine Yun will be sad?"

Wu Zheng put Lin Yuan on the bed, his eyes full of affection: "All those concubines put together are not as good as the queen's finger. Queen, I only have you in my heart!"

"emperor."

The bed curtains were drawn down, and the bed began to vibrate slightly.

Outside the Phoenix Palace, the palace maid sighed slightly and turned away.

At the same time, there was a secret door on the south side of the West Palace.

A eunuch led several people in black robes into the palace through a secret door. Among this group of people, one was covered in black poisonous mist, and another had the body of a dragon head.

The eunuch said to the two men, "Master Xu, Master Yue, the Emperor has already detained the Demon Queen. I'm sorry to ask you to hide in the Imperial Kitchen tonight. Tomorrow I will lead you to sneak into the Phoenix Palace. When the Fairy Ceremony is over, the Emperor will close the palace's protective formation. You must make sure you hit her with one strike!"

The man with the dragon head laughed strangely: "Tell the Western Emperor that as long as the palace formation is closed, Lin Yuan will die!"

The man covered in poisonous fog asked, "How do we deal with the Seventh Princess?"

The eunuch said, "Catch him first. The emperor will make the decision. Also... has the witch queen's lover been found?"

Xu Kongming said: "We have found his residence. Disciples from both my sects will go and capture him tonight."

"That's great. I'm sure the Queen will be very surprised."

…

late at night.

West Imperial City.

Mingyu Lane.

This place is far away from the bustling city center and is mostly inhabited by ordinary people.

It was late at night and all the lights in the surrounding houses were turned off.

The alley was peaceful.

Only in a small courtyard was the oil lamp still lit.

The turbid yellow light shines through the window onto the deserted alley, making it seem even quieter.

Suddenly, a dignified figure in white slowly appeared in the alley and looked towards the small courtyard.

A man followed behind her and whispered respectfully:

"Master, there are several people around. They look like people from the Demon Sect. Their target seems to be Zhou Qing as well."

There was a hint of coldness in Tan Tai Ming Yue's voice: "Tian Yun Sect, Chi Yun Mountain, there are people in this West Emperor City who are colluding with the Demon Sect. They are quite courageous."

"Master, how do we do this?"

"Wait a moment, if the people from the Demon Sect also want to capture Zhou Qing, then kill them all."

"yes."

Tan Tai Ming Yue and Wang Dan disappeared, and a moment later, several monks in black robes quietly entered the courtyard.

After half an incense stick.

The courtyard was still quiet, and those men in black robes seemed to be swallowed up.

"Master, something seems wrong?"

Wang Dan's face changed slightly: "My spiritual sense can't see through that courtyard!"

Tan Tai Ming Yue's expression was stern: "Follow me in!"

"yes!"

The two of them slowly walked towards the quiet courtyard, secretly circulating their spiritual power and staying on full alert.

Tan Tai Ming Yue had just used her spiritual sense to investigate the courtyard, but found that even her spiritual sense could not enter it.

She is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is one of the strongest people in the world.

There is no place in this world that she cannot explore except Feixian Pavilion.

But the courtyard before her was beyond her comprehension.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Tan Tai Mingyue took a deep breath and grasped the hilt of the sword.

Squeak.

The simple wooden door opened slowly without any wind, as if welcoming the two people.

“Master…”

Wang Dan said in a deep voice: "This place is very strange, why don't we let the disciples go in and investigate first."

Tan Tai Ming Yue shook her head: "I'm afraid you can't handle it alone, let's go in together."

"yes."

The master and the disciple walked into the yard and looked towards the wooden house with a light on.

Tan Tai Ming Yue said towards the wooden house: "Zhou Qing, come out."

There was no movement in the wooden house, only the dim oil lamp was still flickering.

Tan Tai Ming Yue drew out his sword, and Wang Dan also took out his own magic weapon.

The two of them walked slowly to the wooden house, and just like before, the door opened with a creak.

Wang Dan was startled and took a half step back, but he saw that his master was calm and composed. He felt ashamed and shouted into the room:

"Who is pretending to be a ghost?!"

No one answered in the room. Wang Dan looked inside. Although there was an oil lamp lit in the room, it was completely dark.

The scene was extremely strange and chilling.

“Brother…”

Tan Tai Ming Yue's voice suddenly began to tremble, and the magic sword in her hand could not even be held steadily.

"Master, what are you talking about?"

Wang Dan was stunned, and then he saw a figure slowly appearing in the dark room.

The figure walked to the door, but it was still in darkness. With Wang Dan's cultivation level of the second level of the Nascent Soul, he couldn't even see what the person who was only half a meter away looked like.

"Who the hell are you?!"

The figure took a step forward, and Wang Dan felt that the sky and the earth seemed to have changed color, and the heavy snow turned black.

The dark night sky turned blood red!

Crack, crack, the surrounding space made a shattering sound under the heavy weight.

Black holes appeared in space, and boiling magma flowed out of them, quickly submerging Wang Dan and burning his flesh, bones, and soul to ashes.

"ah!!!"

Wang Dan screamed, the magic weapon in his hand broke into pieces, blood flowed from all his orifices, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Everything that just happened was actually an illusion caused by excessive pressure.

There was nothing unusual around at this moment, but Wang Dan's meridians and spiritual fields were all broken.

He opened his eyes, which were gushing with blood, and finally saw clearly the person who walked out of the door.

"Master?"
