Ruyan is a master of illusion under An Shigeng's command; in terms of disguise, she is even more skilled than Azhu.
Moreover, she possesses martial arts similar to the Soul Transfer Technique, which can bewitch people's minds and has an excellent group effect, allowing her to use it on thousands of people at the same time.
The ministers were bewitched by her illusions, and having received bribes from An Shigeng, many of them were not of strong will and vaguely believed that she was Zhu Houzhao.
Lin Bufan shouted, "Miss Ruyan, show your true colors!"
Ruyan could not easily reveal her true form, so she remained in the appearance of Zhu Houzhao and called to her attendants: "The great demon Lin is going to harm me. Quickly, someone seize him."
"Take me down? I'll take you down first."
Lin Bufan used the Soul Transfer Technique from the Nine Yin Manual to fight poison with poison, and struck out with a palm.
Whoosh!
As the palm wind howled, "Zhu Houzhao's" makeup disappeared, and his clothes subtly changed, becoming tight and slender.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the emperor transformed into a woman.
A glamorous, cold-blooded woman who looks like she's not to be trifled with.
"Miss Ruyan?"
Liu, the constable, exclaimed in surprise, "It really is Miss Ruyan! You dare to impersonate the Emperor!"
Liu Bu Shen, who was close to An Shi Geng, often dealt with the Six Doors.
This included one of An Shigeng's maids, Ruyan.
Unexpectedly, Ruyan was incredibly audacious and impersonated the emperor, abdicating the throne to the Iron-Blooded Marquis.
In other words, An Shigen really colluded with Tie Dan Shenhou to plot a coup.
My God, Lin Bufan wasn't lying to us, he was right.
Everyone was shocked and terrified.
If they had arrived a moment later, the Iron-Blooded Marquis would have truly become emperor, and the real emperor's fate would have remained unknown. The spirit of the late emperor in heaven would surely curse them to death.
Zhu Wushi hurriedly took off the crown, threw it on the ground, and kicked it away.
He quickly took off the dragon robe and threw it far away.
At the same time, he stood far away from An Shigeng, completely dispelling any suspicion about him, with an expression that said, "I don't know An Shigeng, I'm not familiar with him."
“I know nothing. The Emperor summoned me, and I had just arrived here when the Emperor wanted to abdicate the throne to me. I am innocent.”
He then quickly pointed to a group of kneeling ministers, saying, "They can testify."
The Grand Secretary raised his head shakily and said something "fair": "The Divine Marquis has indeed only been here for a short time, but we have been kneeling for a long time."
"You heard that, didn't you? You all heard that, didn't you?"
Zhu Wushi looked smug but appeared anxious, saying, "The most urgent matter is to capture this girl, Ruyan, who is impersonating the emperor."
As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes for An Shigeng to fly away quickly.
Sacrifice the pawn to save the king; as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Sacrificing one maid, Ruyan, will give us plenty of opportunities to make a comeback later.
The conspiracy has been exposed; it's time to cut your losses.
An Shigeng is a businessman; he should understand this principle.
Unfortunately, An Shigeng was born a romantic and a womanizer.
Unfortunately, his womanizing was a morbid and neurotic kind of womanizing.
He has one set of rules for doing business, and another set of rules for dealing with people.
He would never allow his woman to be arrested or trampled on.
"If we're going to leave, we'll leave together."
An Shigeng grabbed Ruyan's hand and prepared to take off.
How could Zhuge Zhengwo let him escape? He quickly took flight, grabbed his foot, and pulled him down.
Liu Bushen, Leng Lingqi, Zhuiming, and Tieshou rushed over to help, while Wuqing unleashed a barrage of hidden weapons.
Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun then went to deal with Zhu Wushi.
Zhu Wushi continued to feign innocence, unwilling to make a move, and kept retreating.
"What are you doing, Cao Zhengchun? What are you trying to do? Are you settling a personal score? I don't know anything about what I said. I am innocent."
"Stop making excuses, Divine Marquis. Do you think I believe you or not? You are colluding with An Shigeng."
Cao Zhengchun had never been so smug, and Yu Huatian was also sneering.
Zhu Wushi's Protectorate has always suppressed the East and West Factories, and today he has suffered the consequences, so how could the two not be happy?
Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya looked troubled, unsure whether they should attack their godfather.
The matter hasn't been investigated yet. What if my godfather is really innocent?
An Shigeng was confident he could escape, so he didn't reveal his cooperation with Zhu Wushi. He laughed maniacally, "Leng Lingqi, Liu Bushen, Zhuge Zhengwo, you think you can keep me, An Shigeng, here? Dream on."
A ball of flame ignited in his hand, and his body was also covered in fiery true energy, with raging flames that were extremely hot.
"This is Western Region arson technique, have a taste."
Boom! A large ball of flame attacked Leng Lingqi.
"Brother Leng, be careful."
Ji Yaohua rushed over and stood in front of Leng Lingqi, taking the flames for him.
Bang! Flames struck Ji Yaohua, and Leng Lingqi exclaimed in shock, "Ji Yaohua!"
An Shigeng frowned, his gaze sharpening, and demanded of Ji Yaohua, "You still like him?"
Ji Yaohua wanted to say something like "Master, please spare Leng Lingqi," but she was afraid of revealing her identity as a spy, so she could only nod.
Suddenly realizing that this would bring greater danger to Leng Lingqi, she quickly shook her head: "No, I don't like him."
"You can't even lie properly. If you like him, I'll want to kill him even more."
An Shigeng released fierce true energy, and the flames on his hands became even more luxuriant, exaggerated, and terrifying, rising more than ten feet high.
People nearby felt as if they were surrounded by a huge fire, their faces burning and uncomfortable.
The flames attacked Leng Lingqi relentlessly.
Zhui Ming, Tie Shou, and Zhuge Zhengwo rushed over to help, but none of them were a match for An Shigeng.
In no time at all, An Shigeng had them all beaten down, leaving them in various miserable states.
"Next, it's your turn."
An Shigeng glared at Lin Bufan with hatred, "Nothing good has happened since you arrived in the capital. Prepare to die."
Lin Bufan didn't waste any words. After absorbing the internal energy of Liu Bushen, Cheng Shifei, and Duan Tianya, Lin Bufan's Beiming Divine Skill had improved considerably and was now completely different from before.
Most experts couldn't withstand it unless they were at a higher realm, such as above the Earth Realm.
An Shigeng was at the late Earth Realm, only one minor realm higher than Lin Bufan. He might have been able to defend against the Northern Darkness Divine Art before, but now…
He can't do it.
"Northern Darkness Divine Art~"
Lin Bufan made his move, his imposing aura stunning everyone present.
"Lin the Great Demon's martial arts are so high."
“An Shigeng was already terrifying enough, but he is even more terrifying.”
"Two prodigies, truly prodigies."
Amidst gasps of amazement, An Shigeng launched several large balls of flame at Lin Bufan, but the flames were all absorbed into Lin Bufan's body and transformed into pure true energy.
At the same time, An Shigeng's internal energy was rapidly draining away. By the time he realized it, most of his internal energy had already been absorbed.
"My internal energy! Lin Bufan, you..."
An Shigeng was furious and used all his remaining strength to deal with Lin Bufan.
"Your Western Region arson technique is quite good, and your internal strength is also impressive. Keep it with me."
Lin Bufan's lips curled into a Dragon King-like smile, a smile that could kill without breaking the spirit.
Ruyan and Hudie wanted to save An Shigeng, so they charged at Lin Bufan, shouting, "Master, run!"
Lin Bufan slapped the two women to the ground, freeing one hand to absorb their internal energy, and arrogantly uttered a villainous remark:
"Your internal strength is quite good. Give it all to me. It would be your honor to become stepping stones on my road to success."
