Night Watchman: Linked to the Legend of Sword and Fairy game, strongly promoting Huaiqing.

"Something terrible has happened, the Emperor is dead."

"How could this happen? Why did the temple collapse?"

"Quickly, quickly, spread the word immediately: Emperor Yuanjing is dead, we must pledge allegiance to the heir."

"The emperor is dead, and the Great Feng Dynasty has changed hands."

"The princes will surely fight each other fiercely, causing great turmoil."

"Not only internally, but also externally, various forces and rebels will inevitably rise up in rebellion."

"It's over, the Great Feng Dynasty may be doomed."

···········

While everyone was terrified.

Li Xuan quietly left the scene.

A moment later, he appeared in the palace.

"Emperor Yuanjing is dead, but Emperor Zhende is still alive."

Li Xuan's gaze fell upon a spot within the palace.

According to his investigation, Joan of Arc was in a hidden location within the palace.

His figure flashed and he disappeared instantly.

Simultaneously.

Inside the palace, in a courtyard.

Empress Joan of Arc is sitting down to meditate.

But this time.

"Pfft!"

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, suffering severe injuries.

"what happened?"

Why did he suddenly vomit blood and suffer a backlash?

"It's like losing something important. What exactly happened?"

His face changed drastically.

He was cultivating normally, but suddenly he suffered a backlash and vomited blood. This is definitely not normal.

"Could it be that something happened to my two clones? (Li Wang's)"

"Impossible. One of them is the Prince of Zhenbei, who commands hundreds of thousands of troops. He's in his military camp; it's impossible for him to get into trouble."

"And then there's Emperor Yuanjing, who's in the capital, so it's even less likely that he'll get into trouble."

"But how could I possibly be seriously injured for no reason?"

Joan of Arc frowned.

At this moment.

Tatata!

A light footstep sounded.

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc immediately stood up and assumed a defensive posture.

"Who?"

he shouted.

"Joan of Arc, so you were here all along."

Li Xuan slowly walked out.

Upon hearing this, Empress Joan of Arc's expression changed drastically.

"Hmm, you're Li Xuan?"

Although it was Emperor Yuanjing who was handling palace affairs, Emperor Zhende was aware of Li Xuan, who had recently emerged.

After all, his talent is comparable to that of the Imperial Censor, which is something that deserves our attention.

Therefore, he immediately recognized Li Xuan's identity.

····················

115. The assassination of Empress Joan of Arc, ministers taking sides, and Huaiqing seizing the throne.

But he quickly frowned and his gaze darkened.

It's clearly suspicious that a lowly night watchman would appear in the palace and even discover his location.

"Li Xuan, tell me who's behind you?"

"I can spare your life, and even grant you wealth and honor."

He thought Li Xuan had someone backing him.

After all, Li Xuan was just a night watchman with a silver gong; it was impossible for him to be here and have his whereabouts discovered.

He suspected that it was most likely Wei Yuan, or perhaps the supervisor.

After all, in the capital, only these two people could make him wary and vigilant.

Li Xuan's lips curled up slightly, and he said calmly, "Is it possible that there is no one else here, and that I am the only one who wanted to come here?"

"You yourself?" Joan of Arc looked incredulous.

It was simply impossible for Li Xuan, a mere fifth-rank cultivator, to sneak into the heavily guarded imperial palace.

"Li Xuan, I've given you a chance, you must seize it."

"Otherwise, you'll suffer a fate worse than death."

A chilling expression appeared on his face.

"Speak, what does your mastermind want from you to come here?"

Li Xuan said, "If you don't believe me, then so be it."

"As for why I came here? Of course, it's to kill you."

kill me?

Joan of Arc was stunned.

He then revealed a mocking smile.

"Li Xuan, are you kidding me? You're just a lowly night watchman, how dare you talk about killing me?"

"That's simply overestimating themselves and courting death."

"Since you're unwilling to talk, then I'll seize you and slowly fabricate a story for you through interrogation."

The words fell.

Empress Joan of Arc flashed forward and pounced on Li Xuan.

"die!"

He formed his right hand into a claw and grabbed at Li Xuan's shoulder.

He was still at the peak of the third rank, so dealing with Li Xuan, a mere fifth rank cultivator, was a piece of cake.

But the next moment.

puff!

His body was sent flying.

Pfft!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed, severely injured.

"impossible!"

"You're not Li Xuan, so who are you?"

He was at the peak of the third rank, yet he was sent flying and severely injured by a single blow, without even being able to see the enemy's whereabouts clearly.

From this, one can imagine how powerful the person in front of us is.

It is at least the cultivation level of the late stage of the second rank.

However, it is impossible for Li Xuan to possess the late stage of the second rank.

"Could this person, like me, also be someone who has possessed another body?"

Empress Joan of Arc couldn't help but think.

Li Xuan clapped his hands and said, "Without a doubt, I am Li Xuan."

"It's just that you don't know how powerful I am."

Upon hearing this, Empress Joan of Arc's expression changed drastically.
