Chapter 2517 Chaos in the Imperial Palace
There were sorcerers outside Chang'an who were assassinating court officials, and there was also unrest inside Chang'an City.

"See you next time!"

Zhuang Qingzhai held the magic sword. When he slashed down the bound naked white-haired old man with one sword, he saw the other man open his mouth and sneered at him.

The magic sword with the talisman attached to it fell down mercilessly, and the white-haired old man's head fell to the ground.

Just as Zhuang Qingzhai narrowed his eyes slightly at the other person's neck that had not bled, he saw the white-haired old man's body and head turned into flying purple light.

"Damn, chase!"

When he pointed his magic sword to suppress it, the purple light had already flown away like a meteor.

This is an extremely strange opponent.

It can hide, its body is not afraid of sharp blades, it can be beheaded without dying, its body is like a puppet, and it has almost no disadvantages except that its ability to use magic is weaker.

Zhuang Qingzhai had seen this man's old face in the court's portraits and knew that he was called the Venerable White Bone Master, but court records did not show that he possessed this ability.

Seeing Cheng Buzhi leading several royal guards to chase after them, Zhuang Qingzhai glanced at the coffin in the main hall of Anle Palace with an unpleasant face.

The lid of the coffin had been pushed open, and the Empress Dowager, wearing a golden jade robe, was half-lying in the coffin, her body almost coming out.

This was certainly not the case that the Empress Dowager suddenly came back to life, but that she was affected by the curse of the White Bone Master and her body was enslaved.

Just as Shi Wudao wanted to control Emperor Jing in the past, Venerable Bai Gu was also controlling the deceased Empress Dowager.

If the enemy succeeds in enslaving him, whether he can attack the Empress Dowager, how to fight back when attacked by the Empress Dowager, whether to die himself or destroy the Empress Dowager's body, all the situations he needs to face can be called a disaster.

And the White Bone Reverend is not the only one in the chaos in the palace.

When Zhuang Qingzhai glanced over, he saw purple light flying out from the direction of Changxin Palace and going far away into the sky.

"Why are so many people not afraid of death!"

Zhuang Qingzhai had a grim look on his face, and had no idea how this would end.

In previous years, there were always some people who took advantage of the imperial funerals. These people always thought that the emperor or empress of the Han Dynasty had died, and the Han Dynasty was finished, so they took advantage of the chaos to come to the palace to take advantage.

This kind of thing has been common in the past few decades and has become an important way for the Han Dynasty court to suppress bandits.

Many people come to the palace, but not many can escape unscathed.

These people had to leave something behind, more or less, either their lives, their treasures, or their arms and legs...

But this time, Zhuang Qingzhai did not see what price the people who attacked the palace paid.

These people suddenly appeared in the palace and cast spells, but disappeared after being killed, without leaving even a drop of blood.

"What kind of magic is this? Why is my Breaking Gang Talisman not working at all?"

Zhuang Qingzhai turned around and looked at Li Shaojun who was holding up his sleeves, hoping to get an answer from Li Shaojun.

"The incarnation is not afraid of death, and the breaking barrier has no effect on it," Li Shaojun replied cautiously.

Li Shaojun, who was just trying to make a living, was also at a loss. He had always been fearless of death and could do things flexibly. Li Shaojun never thought that there were so many people like him.

Moreover, compared with the various defects that Li Shaojun faced after his resurrection, these people seemed to have no defects and did not care about confinement, death, dismemberment, drowning, fire, suppression and so on.

Although Li Shaojun mentioned the art of incarnation, this art is not something that can be easily found, but rather it is extremely rare.

Any incarnation of the body requires countless efforts and rare materials to be condensed.

This kind of thing that consumes all one's energy will only appear when life and death are in conflict and the two sides reveal each other's cards. It will not face death casually and is even more afraid of being injured in a fight.

"Although the death of the avatar will not affect the original body, why do so many avatars suddenly appear, and they are not afraid of consumption at all?" Zhuang Qingzhai asked in confusion: "What is the material used to condense the avatar? Why didn't they show any natural treasures when they died?"

"This is something that deserves serious study!" Li Shaojun responded perfunctorily.

If there were an incarnation that could easily succeed in cultivation without fear of loss, Li Shaojun felt that the cultivator class would be in chaos.

"What kind of external incarnation can hide the body?"

"worthy of study!"

Li Shaojun frowned, then folded his sleeves in a very casual manner. He didn't care about these trivial matters. Li Shaojun just wanted to endure for two more days and then send the Empress Dowager to the Ba Mausoleum to complete the entrustment.

Of course, as long as he can save his life, Li Shaojun is not afraid of any incarnation.

Compared with Jiuling Yuansheng, Li Shaojun felt that these cultivators who used their external incarnations were too weak and were almost being used as targets by Zhenyuan Shenjun.

Just as Zhenyuan Shenjun had beaten him to death in the past, Li Shaojun felt that it would not be difficult for Zhenyuan Shenjun to deal with these people.

The more these people came, the more occasions he had to perform.

From the main hall to the front hall and then to the back hall, they had killed three incarnations who came to the palace to cause trouble. Li Shaojun felt that this feeling was great.

If he could become famous as Zhang Xuezhou said and be chosen by the Immortal Court, Li Shaojun would feel very happy just thinking about this possibility.

"We must bring these individuals to justice..."

Zhuang Qingzhai clenched his teeth.

He had previously wanted to emulate Zhang Xuezhou and urinate in the mourning hall, so that he could be impeached without any damage.

Now that the Empress Dowager is almost crawling out of the coffin, why would he still want to lose his morals after peeing?

Even if he didn't pee, the Empress Dowager in Changxin Palace would find fault with him and criticize him severely, and it would be very difficult for him to endure it when the time came to settle the score.

Of course, the only thing Zhuang Qingzhai was thankful for was that he invited Li Shaojun to help and did not make the situation too embarrassing.

He knew that the Venerable White Bone from the Yedihe Holy Land was a man of bad character and bloodthirsty. If he really controlled the Empress Dowager, the situation in the palace would be in chaos and out of control.

Everything is still under control at the moment and has not gotten out of control.

Zhuang Qingzhai frowned and kept calculating the gains and losses, and ordered people to keep a close watch on him.

It is obviously a bit difficult to expect the guards to be responsible for an accident that many great monks failed to prevent.

Zhuang Qingzhai knew that the order he issued was ineffective, but no matter how ineffective it was, he had to pretend to do it, even if it was just hoping that a blind cat would catch a dead mouse.

His mind was in a mess, but he spoke calmly and steadily.

When a loud noise was heard from the rear hall of Anle Palace, the hall where the Empress Dowager's coffin was placed was shaking back and forth. Zhuang Qingzhai's face changed drastically. He was about to raise his legs and run away, but quickly looked at Li Shaojun.

"exploded!"

"What exploded?"

"Nine Dragon Cauldron!"

There was a hint of fear on Li Shaojun's face, while Zhenyuan Shenjun, who was wearing eunuch's clothes beside him, frowned.

Magic explosions are relatively rare. It’s not that magic cannot guide explosions, but that explosions will hurt others and oneself, so there are few stubborn monks who would delve into this area.

Having ruled out the possibility of sorcery, the only things in the back hall that could explode were the alchemy furnace and other objects.

Zhenyuan Shenjun thought about the materials and unformed external elixir that Li Shaojun had refined, and then thought about the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

He snorted slightly, feeling that he had failed to protect the Nine Dragon Cauldron that the Empress Dowager had repeatedly warned him to do.

But Zhenyuan Shenjun was also curious about which unlucky guy activated the Nine Dragon Cauldron, causing the explosion caused by the residual external elixir.
