Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

The Liaodan tribe can still exist now only because of Yelu Yinxue's face. If they dare to do anything to provoke the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou will raze the city of Kator to the ground and wipe out the Liaodan royal family.

Therefore, the Liaodan royal family could only turn a blind eye to the God of Wealth Inn, allowing the other party to monitor it while also making the other party feel at ease.

However, Zhao Si and his companions were unaware of this and broke into the city of Kator. Naturally, they were discovered by the Da Zhou secret guards in the city of Kator.

When Ji Xian and the others arrived at the God of Wealth Inn, they were naturally welcomed by the innkeeper to the backyard.

Then a group of Silver Dragon Guards appeared and immediately knelt before Hua Lan and Su Luohua: "Greetings, Deputy Commander and Young Master!"

Hua Lan had no expression on her face, but her tone was quite dissatisfied: "Don't overstep your bounds."

"what?"

The Silver Dragon Guards were a little confused and didn't understand what it meant.

Hua Lan looked at Ji Xian and Su Luoxue beside him: "These two are His Majesty Ji Xian and Prime Minister Su."

"..."

The Silver Dragon Guards were all stunned.

Unlike other forces in the Great Zhou, the Silver Dragon Guards here stay in the Northern Desert all year round. Naturally, they have no chance to return to the Central Plains to see what Ji Xian and Su Luoxue look like, so they did not recognize these two people.

But a few who reacted quickly immediately knelt and kowtowed to Ji Xian: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor, and I greet Miss Luoxue!"

Ji Xian was already numb to this scene, and said casually, "Quickly stand up, quick stand up, let's talk about serious matters."

Then, several people sat in the pavilion in the backyard pond. The innkeeper, who was also the captain of this stronghold, came over with a map of the entire Kator City, placed it on the stone table, pointed to a street, and began to explain what had happened a few days ago.

"Six days ago, our people discovered Zhao Si here. They also found Lu Zhanfei and He Ren. To prevent alerting the enemy, our people did not pursue them. Instead, they immediately notified our brothers throughout the city and asked them to pay attention to the surrounding situation. Finally, the undercover agent in the palace sent a message saying that he had seen Zhao Si in the palace."

Hua Lan asked: "And then?"

"Reporting to the deputy commander, I immediately ordered people to monitor the palace day and night, but they didn't find Zhao Si coming out, nor did they detect any movement. It seemed that nothing had happened."

"It's suspicious enough that nothing happened."

Ji Xian made this judgment without even thinking about it.

Because we can refer to the Tianji Pavilion in this regard. If Zhao Si went to the Tianji Pavilion instead of Katol City, then Jiang Shanggong would definitely kill Zhao Si and other remnants of the Daxuan faction, and then hand over their bodies to the Dazhou for disposal.

The Liaodan royal family was not trusted by the Great Zhou and was under surveillance day and night. Naturally, they should do this to show goodwill to the Great Zhou and demonstrate their loyalty.

Doing nothing is suspicious enough.

......

Just as everyone was understanding the situation and discussing countermeasures, Cheng Ying on the other side had already met Baili Qiankun in Kator City.

In a tavern in Kator City, Baili Qiankun was sitting in a corner drinking.

After Cheng Ying entered the tavern, he looked around and soon found the Taoist priest in white robes sitting in the corner.

Baili Qiankun naturally saw Cheng Ying as well. He smiled and waved for Cheng Ying to come over. Cheng Ying walked over with a blank expression. Baili Qiankun then took a jar of wine and placed it on the table and asked Cheng Ying, "Miss Cheng Ying is finally here. Would you like some wine?"

"No, let's talk."

Cheng Ying is quite similar to Hua Lan in this respect, rigid, inflexible, and always doing things in a businesslike manner.

Baili Qiankun could also see what kind of character this girl had, so he smiled and shrugged and said, "Miss Cheng Ying is just impatient."

"This is Liaodan's territory, or it could be Da Zhou's, but it's not ours."

Cheng Ying's meaning was self-evident. This Katoer City was Liaodan territory, and it might eventually become Great Zhou territory, but it certainly wouldn't belong to Dieying or Baili Qiankun. In other words, this was their territory, and swift action was crucial. If there was something to say, speak quickly, act quickly, and leave this troubled place quickly.

"Okay, okay, then I'll get straight to the point. I wonder if Miss Cheng Ying has a map of the Liaodan Palace."

"No, but I can ask the spy Dieying has placed in the palace to send me a copy."

"Oh, great, that's easy."

"What do you want to do?"

"I need to go into the palace to get something."

4.7 His Majesty the Emperor carries out a top secret operation

On the second day, outside the Liaodan Palace...

The palace gates opened wide, and many imperial guards marched out. Yelü Yan, the Liaodan King, stepped out from the ranks, saluted the visitors, and said respectfully, "Yelü Yan, the Liaodan King, greets General Hua Lan of the Great Zhou."

The person who came outside the palace was Hua Lan.

Although Hua Lan was the deputy commander of the Silver Dragon Guard, a leader of the Secret Guard, many people still referred to her as "General." This was because Hua Lan's true fame came during the Eight Kingdoms Rebellion. At that time, she served as a vanguard general under Grand Marshal Lü Wen, conquering the world alongside the Ji brothers and becoming one of the founding heroes.

Hua Lan led a group of Silver Dragon Guards to the Liaodan Palace. When he saw Yelu Yan, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Greetings to the Liaodan King. I wonder if the Liaodan King has seen the rebels from Daxuan recently."

"......"

Yelu Yan didn't say anything, his face was confused and his eyebrows even twitched twice.

He was not panicked because Hua Lan had seen through his tricks, but he was deeply speechless because of Hua Lan's words.

Not to mention the Liaodan King Yelu Yan, even the Liaodan soldiers around him, and even the Silver Dragon Guards behind Hua Lan, were all looking at Hua Lan in dumbfounded at this moment.

It was said that the deputy commander of the Silver Dragon Guard was a stern, icy beauty, foolishly loyal and inflexible. Now it seemed that she was even worse than the rumors said.

He started by asking others if they had seen any traitors. How could anyone ask a question like that? It's too straightforward!

Then, Yelu Yan's answer was, of course, "Of course not. I don't know why General Hua would ask such a question."

Yelu Yan was stunned for a few seconds before answering, while Hua Lan had a blank expression on her face, but she clearly wasn't buying it. "If that's the case, could you please allow us to search the palace?"

"General Hua, you're going too far. My Liaodan tribe hasn't left the Northern Desert for a long time. We've always lived in peace with the Great Zhou, always abiding by our duties. Are you doing this now to start a war with my Liaodan tribe?"

"What do you want to do if I say yes?"

"you......."

Yelu Yan clenched his fists, but did not dare to point at Hua Lan.

I just thought this woman was a fool, but I didn't expect her to be so domineering now!

Yelu Yan had no confidence to go to war with the Great Zhou. Not to mention his small Liaodan tribe, even if the entire Northern Desert was added together, it would not be enough to fill the gaps in the Great Zhou's troops.

Then Hua Lan added, "If King Liao Dan doesn't want things to develop to this point, please get out of the way."

"You..." Yelu Yan clenched his fists, and his arms began to tremble uncontrollably.

But in the end, he let go of her hand and made way: "In that case, please come in."

Hua Lan was not polite and immediately led his men into the Liaodan Palace to search.

This was the first step discussed by Ji Xian and others yesterday. Hua Lan led the people to search openly. It would be the easiest if they could directly find the remnants of the Daxuan faction such as Zhao Si.

Although there is a possibility that the Liaodan royal family will join forces with the remnants of the Daxuan, after a discussion last night, everyone believes that even if the Liaodan royal family supports the Daxuan, they will not dare to openly help them fight against the Dazhou.

Su Luoxue even remembered some of the words her master Pang Yuanchu said about foreigners when they were chatting.

"Most foreigners are not afraid of death, but no matter how brave they are, they all fear that their death will be in vain."

This sentence is just right to be used here, because in the worst case scenario, even if Ji Xian and others all died in Liaodan, Da Zhou would still be a behemoth that Liaodan and the remnants of Daxuan could not afford to offend. If the Liaodan royal family dared to mess around, they must be really tired of living.

It is precisely for this reason that Hua Lan dares to search so openly!

Of course, even if Hua Lan openly searched the Liaodan Palace, there was still a high possibility that he would find nothing. After all, Zhao Si and the others were not fools. They were all top-notch Yang Shen, so they naturally had the means to evade and escape.

This is the second step of the plan.

After entering the palace, Hua Lan immediately ordered all the Silver Dragon Guards to split up and conduct a comprehensive search of the palace inside and outside. She herself also observed and inspected everywhere in the palace, and Yelu Yan naturally followed her.

However, when the palace was searched, two Silver Dragon Guards avoided everyone and came to the dark corner of the palace.

These two people are naturally Ji Xian and Su Luoxue!

Ji Xian said: "Help me protect the Dharma, let me sense it."

Su Luoxue replied: "Okay."

After saying that, Ji Xian sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, increased his perception several times, and began to fully perceive every move in the palace. No matter what sound, no matter what kind of spiritual power, nothing could escape Ji Xian's perception.

Su Luoxue stood beside Ji Xian with a sword in hand, carefully observing the surrounding situation and the eastward direction of the imperial guards in the palace to protect Ji Xian's safety.

After all, if the Daxuan rebels and the Liaodan royal family really joined forces, then seeing that Emperor Ji Xian was actually here, it was not impossible for them to come and kill him regardless of everything. Although even if Ji Xian was killed, Liaodan and Daxuan would not be able to overthrow the Great Zhou, Su Luoxue would never allow such a situation to happen.

Therefore, she had to protect Ji Xian's safety closely and never leave her side.

After a while, Ji Xian opened her eyes, looked at Su Luoxue and shook her head: "It's useless. No movement or spiritual power fluctuations of other Yang Gods can be sensed in any corner of this palace."

"Isn't Zhao Si in the palace?"

"It's not ruled out, but where else can he hide besides the palace?"

"Then let me do it."

"Okay, it's your turn to protect us."

Ji Xian's last words were not addressed to Su Luoxue, but to the two swords at her waist.

Sheng Huiji emitted a spiritual light, and then a girl with white hair and white clothes appeared beside Ji Xian. She leaned on the table next to her with her arms folded, and sneered at Ji Xian: "Hey, you remember me now, stupid sword master."

"Could you please stop scolding me..."

"What are you doing?"

"you......"

Ji Xian was speechless. He hadn't let Lulu show up for the past two days because she looked exactly like the Empress Dowager Tianxue Ji. Walking in the Northern Desert with such an appearance would be too eye-catching and would cause a lot of trouble.

But now, Ji Xian and the others need other people to protect them, so Lulu has to come out.

Ji Xian didn't want to say anything more, and now was not the time to talk about these things.

Ji Xian looked at Su Luoxue, only to see Su Luoxue take off the package on her back, pull open the black cloth, and inside was a xylophone!

Su Luoxue then sat down on the ground, her slender jade fingers resting on the strings, her spiritual energy flowing between them. Soon, as Su Luoxue played, the sound of the zither stirred spiritual energy, spreading melodiously throughout the palace.

Su Luoxue's Youxinqin could mimic the extremely sinister spiritual power of the Xuanyin Jue, inflicting endless fear upon those within its range. This time, the sound of Su Luoxue's harp, channeling her spiritual power, enveloped the entire palace, so intensely that it could be heard even underground!

If Zhao Si and the others could hide in the palace without making any noise or emitting any spiritual energy fluctuations, could they still remain as still as a mountain after hearing Su Luoxue's Youxinqin?

As long as there is the slightest movement or fluctuation of spiritual power, it will not escape Ji Xian's perception!

4.8 The people around His Majesty are very powerful

Spiritual pressure is an ability that cultivators can only possess after entering the Taibai Realm. To put it simply, it is the power of spiritual force. People within the range of spiritual pressure can feel the strength of their spiritual force and the sense of oppression.

The spiritual pressure will also show different effects according to the skills and spiritual power attributes of the cultivator. Some spiritual pressure is extremely yang and strong, some is as hot as fire, and some is as deep as the sea.

If we talk about the power of martial arts, martial arts such as the Galaxy Nine Heavens Art and the Ten Thousand Aspects Art will definitely cause people all over the world to argue, and it is possible that they will argue for three days and three nights to see who is the strongest.

But if you say that the spiritual pressure of that martial art is the most powerful in the world, then I am afraid that everyone in the world will make the same choice and there will be no dispute.

Xuanyin Jue!

The Xuanyin Jue is an extremely yin and gentle evil skill. In addition to being able to transform the evil spiritual power into ghost energy, thus achieving the effect of ghost energy transforming into a physical form, this skill can also integrate the bloody and murderous energy into the spiritual power and spiritual pressure, and then spread it out exponentially, causing everyone within the range to feel fear and terror, as if they were in the Nine Netherworld Purgatory.

Su Luoxue had black hair and blue eyes, but her sister, Su Luohua, had white hair and red eyes. This wasn't because of any difference in the sisters' bloodlines. Su Luohua's hair was white and her eyes were red because she practiced the Xuanyin Jue. The intense yin energy of the yin had dyed her hair white, and the bloody aura had dyed her eyes red.

Su Luoxue did not practice the Xuanyin Jue, so she had normal black hair and blue eyes, completely different from her sister.

But Su Luoxue was the daughter of General Yinlong and the younger sister of Su Luohua. Even if she hadn't learned it, how could she not understand the Xuanyin Jue? Su Luoxue even studied the Xuanyin Jue's techniques and eventually applied them to her Youxinqin skill.

Integrate the murderous and yin energy into the sound of the piano, and release it through spiritual pressure and the sound of the piano, so that everyone within the range can feel the fear of extreme yin.

No matter how powerful a Yang God is, if it is covered by such spiritual power and pressure, its state will inevitably fluctuate, such as spiritual power losing control and balance, the mind being turbulent and making cries, etc.

As long as there is the slightest movement like this, Ji Xian will not be able to escape his perception!

And sure enough, after a while, Ji Xian "felt" it.

Ji Xian opened her eyes and immediately stood up, pointing in a direction to Su Luoxue: "There's something going on over there. I feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy. It appeared out of thin air!"

There was no movement at that location originally, but after Su Luoxue played the Youxinqin, there was a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power, which obviously indicated that someone had been hiding there before.

"go!"

Su Luoxue and Ji Xian rushed over immediately. Lulu glanced at them but also followed.

.......

At this time, Hua Lan and Yelu Yan were in the Liaodan Palace. Hua Lan was searching and Yelu Yan followed.

At this time, they also heard the melodious sound of the piano, and at the same time felt the terrifying spiritual pressure filled with blood and murderous aura in the piano sound.
