Dragon Gate Swordsman

"What...how dare you!"

He looked at Queen Dowager Yin angrily again, but found that she had closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth, which were bleeding, were actually raised slightly.

A chilling smile...

"Lieutenant!"

"His Majesty?"

"Evacuate the palace! Get everyone out! Quick!"

Although he was shocked by Ying Zhen's order, General Yue quickly issued orders to the imperial guards of the True Dragon Palace.

Civil and military officials as well as envoys from various countries were a little confused again… Those seemingly powerful monsters were being beaten so hard that they were crying for their parents and were about to die, so why did they suddenly have to be evacuated now?

Even someone of Kal'tsit's character felt somewhat puzzled. On the contrary, Chongxiao looked towards the back of the Flame Palace in disbelief.

In addition, there are two figures among the ordinary people...

"Sister Ling, this feeling...could it be a demon..."

"Exactly! Xiaoqing, you..."

Before Ling could finish his words, something strange happened!

I saw a purple-black aura rising from the back of the Yanhuang Palace and quickly merged into the sky... But it did not disappear, but quickly spread with the flow of air.

The first to suffer were the Lateran delegation. The Sakota people had a certain degree of "empathy", sharing their thoughts and feelings with their companions in some way. As a result, after coming into contact with the purple-black aura that could no longer be seen with the naked eye, they covered their heads one after another.

Including Lemion and Mostima, all the Sakotas were in a shaky state. If they had not been well-trained, they might have wailed.

The other people gathered near the True Dragon Hall were not in much better condition. It would have been fine if the imperial guards or the powerful people from the diplomatic corps of various countries, but ordinary people who didn't have much cultivation themselves felt splitting headaches and inexplicable malice in their hearts.

Chongxiao covered his head tightly with his hands, his eyes wide open, and had to quickly suppress the spiritual energy in his body... He himself actually had no problems, but in this situation, sensing emotions, the feedback effect would be a thousand times stronger.

Kal'tsit beside him was in much better condition, but her brows were frowned and her body was a little unstable.

It is worth mentioning that the two Sarkaz, Ines and W, did not seem to be greatly affected and were able to observe the surrounding situation with surprise.

"What's going on? What the hell is that?!"

"The ancient formations of Da Yan are as powerful as the Originium techniques of natural disasters."

"Comparable to a natural disaster!?"

Inès and W were both startled by Kal'tsit's words, but they didn't notice that it only took her a split second to figure out what it was.

Only Chongxiao, who had just recovered, took a glance...

The situation around the Yanhuang Palace took a sharp turn for the worse. The eyes of countless civilians began to turn red and their expressions became ferocious, as if they were possessed by evil spirits... I was sure that in a few seconds, an extremely bloody scene would appear.

But at this moment, a refreshing force suddenly erupted, as if responding to the breath behind the Yanhuang Palace, sweeping in all directions.

At the critical moment, Ling took action.

In her hand was no longer the dragon-patterned whisk, but a long staff with a bright lamp tied to it, which she was waving at a leisurely pace.

A force as light as mist was constantly gushing out from her surroundings, as if fighting against an invisible evil spirit, causing a spectacular scene of wind and clouds to appear above the Yanhuang Palace... like a dream, extremely magnificent.

But Ling also knew that he would not be able to sustain it on his own. This formation was not like a natural disaster that would pass after a while.

"Go quickly, Xiaoqing! Destroy the center of the formation!"

"Yes, Sister Ling!"

The figure of the heroine in white disappeared instantly.

On the other side, Chongxiao reached out and helped Kal'tsit up, and asked solemnly: "Is this a formation? How can we solve it?"

"Destroy the center of the formation...but..."

"but what?"

"It shouldn't be that easy to solve a terrifying evil formation like this that can be set up in a place like the Imperial Palace."

Hearing this, Chongxiao gritted his teeth and looked into the distance.

The power of the order can indeed suppress the evil spirit to a certain extent, but this kind of confrontation is not a good thing for ordinary people... Many people have already lost consciousness because they could not bear the destruction. If the situation continues, I am afraid that their mental consciousness will be severely damaged.

No, we can't just wait!

An idea suddenly emerged in Chongxiao's mind, a method that he himself didn't know whether it would work.

"Wu Qinghe! Zilong! I leave this to you!"

After shouting, without waiting for any response from the two, he jumped directly from where the Kazdel delegation was, and then rushed to the True Dragon Hall along the ladder.

At the same time, the spiritual energy released from his body quickly transformed into flames and began to condense towards his right hand.

In such a chaotic situation, not many people noticed this scene except the imperial guards who were responsible for guarding the True Dragon Hall.

Soon, Chongxiao was stopped.

"Stop! Who are you!?"

Although he was also suffering from the impact of the evil spirit on his mental consciousness, the imperial guards still stood in front of Chongxiao diligently.

It's no wonder... A guy with fire in his hands rushed towards the True Dragon Hall as if he was risking his life. It would be considered merciful not to kill him directly.

"I don't have time to explain, take me to see the Emperor!"

"How dare you! Tell me your identity first!"

"Dali Temple's Foreign Minister Chongxiao, hurry up!"

After focusing most of his attention on his right hand, Chongxiao found it difficult to think of a good excuse for a moment, so he mentioned the position he had already returned.

Fortunately, the person who just revealed the truth in public in the True Dragon Hall was Song Zimu, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, so the imperial guards naturally thought that Chongxiao was his man...but no matter what, they did take him in.

The situation inside the True Dragon Hall is much better than outside. There are many experts in Originium skills among the civil and military officials. They directly created a temporary "isolation space" that makes it basically impossible for evil spirits to invade.

However, at this time, Ying Zhen had no time to pay attention to his stepmother and younger brother, but was asking about the situation of the civilians.

No matter how much he planned, he never expected that Queen Mother Yin would hide such a powerful weapon in the harem... You know, that is the only place that Ying Zhen cannot control.

"Your Majesty, the Taoist priest is resisting the evil spirit, and Lady Qing has also rushed to the harem, ready to destroy the center of the formation."

"Give me an exact time!"

"This……"

Since Kal'tsit judged that the formation was as powerful as a natural disaster, it definitely could not be solved easily, even with the power of the twelve fragments... In this case, who could give an accurate time?

Ying Zhen actually understood this, but as the situation outside was getting worse and worse, he couldn't calm down.

At this moment, a voice came over.

"Zhao Zhen, take the sword!"

In an instant, countless people gasped.

Because Chongxiao, who had just been brought into the True Dragon Hall by the imperial guards, did something that made all the civil and military officials tremble with fear: he threw the sword in his hand directly at Ying Zhen.

To be honest, the two guards who were responsible for bringing him in almost had their brains exploded.

However, what happened next shocked everyone.

The sword that Chongxiao threw out seemed to be controlled by someone remotely. It began to rotate automatically in the air, pointing the hilt at Ying Zhen, and then fell steadily into his hands.

This is a long sword that is golden in color, simple and heavy in shape... There are patterns engraved on both sides of the sword, like the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and plants. At a glance, one can feel the endless vicissitudes of life, as if civilization and history are integrated into it...

Ying Zhen was stunned.

For some reason, he felt that the sword seemed to belong to him. Holding it in his hand, it felt like nothing, and he felt a joy welling up from the depths of his soul.

So, under the stunned gaze of countless people, Ying Zhen raised the golden sword.

The next moment, a majestic golden aura burst out, and the entire True Dragon Hall was illuminated by its brilliant but not dazzling light, followed by the Yanhuang Palace and the land outside the palace.

Ling, who was originally fighting against the evil spirit, and Qing, who had just arrived at the harem, both froze in their tracks, and then they couldn't help but look towards the True Dragon Hall.

There, a sun seemed to rise.

Chapter 56: Let's take a break, but we will finally part ways

The day when the 37th True Dragon Emperor of Great Yan officially ascended the throne was destined to be recorded in history... not just the history of Great Yan, but the history of this land.

The people in the Divine Capital talked about the monsters that were killed, the elegance of the diplomatic envoys from various countries, and the thrilling scenes in the Yanhuang Palace.

Of course, what they talked about the most was the great achievements of the True Dragon Emperor in saving countless people inside and outside the Yanhuang Palace by himself.

But only a few people know that the reason why Ying Zhen was able to do this was not because of himself, but because of the sword sent by Chongxiao.

The most precious treasure to protect the country, the Xuanyuan Sword.

Among the civil and military officials, very few have seen Chongxiao, and they don't know who he is. With the tacit consent of Ying Zhen, most people think that he was the person arranged to deliver the sword, but they don't know that the Xuanyuan Sword came from this person.

"...So, you also have the power of that Momen craftsman?"

"Who? Oh...you mean the year? No, no, no, it's not quite the same."

Chongxiao waved his hand, "What she can do, I can't do, and what I can do, she may not be able to do."

"Are you playing a tongue twister on this?"

Ying Zhen glared at him.

Queen Mother Yin must have had someone’s guidance to set up such a brutal bloody formation in the harem. The Dali Temple will continue to investigate... and the techniques of blood sacrifice to monsters are not something that a woman like her who “never leaves the house” can obtain.

As for Gongzi Cheng, there is no need to mention him. If someone really wants to use him to deal with Ying Zhen, he would be simply being sold out and helping others count money.

In addition, this also gave Queen Mother Yin a more "decent" ending: Ying Zhen has decided to announce to the people of Dayan that the Queen Mother was "led astray" because she was controlled by a demon, so Prince Cheng will still enjoy favorable treatment, but his royal status will be revoked, and he will never become a royal prince again in this life.

The death of Queen Mother Yin also allowed Ying Zhen to completely control all the power in the Divine Capital, which meant that Dayan was gradually becoming one.

At least that's what it looks like...

After giving the Xuanyuan Sword to Ying Zhen, the exhausted Chongxiao slept in the Yanhuang Palace for three days and three nights.

During this period, Ling brought Qing to see him once, Dali Temple Shaoqing Song Zimu brought Lin Qingyan to see him once, Sima Tai Chief Doctor Bai Xiangshan and Inspector Guo Shan came to see him once, as for others... they were all blocked outside the palace gate.

Therefore, what Chongxiao is most anxious about now is to leave the palace and see how Huang Xinglan is doing.

"Don't worry, she is still in the hotel where you are staying, and I have already ordered her to stay in Shendu."

"...I think we should let Xiaolan go."

"Why? Aren't you quite..."

Ying Zhen originally wanted to say that you like her very much, but then he changed his mind and thought that Chongxiao was not the kind of person who would rush for love.

Maybe he really was just being passionate and innocent... Besides, it wouldn't be a good idea to marry a woman who was infected with mineral disease...

"I've already agreed with Kal'tsit to take Xiao Lan to a specialized hospital in Victoria. Maybe she can control the condition... By the way, Kal'tsit is Kazdel's messenger. You should have met her, right?"

"Not yet... I've been very busy these past few days."

"Wait, shouldn't it be 'I' who is busy?"

Ying Zhen was slightly stunned, then said with a smile: "Don't learn from Wu Ming, I won't say this word in front of you."

At this moment, Chongxiao suddenly felt a sense of... helplessness and fatigue.

After the coronation ceremony, Ying Zhen officially ascended the throne and had to deal with the remaining issues from that day as soon as possible.

Queen Mother Yin is dead, and someone has to take care of the aftermath. However, Gongzi Cheng is definitely not someone who can be relied upon, not to mention that he has to start from the harem to investigate the origins of the blood evil formation and the monster.

In addition, officials who had contact with Queen Mother Yin before must be cleared out. It's not that Ying Zhen will take revenge... Who knows if these guys can be loyal to him? Besides, officials who are used to the rigid dogmatic ideas of the previous True Dragon Emperor should not hold important positions under his leadership.

For example, if he had not arranged Bai Xiangshan at Simuitai in advance, he probably would not have been able to invite them at all, and he might have died that day.

There is also the Dali Temple Minister Gu Jingtong. Even if Ying Zhen has no intention of taking action against him now, the old man has already submitted his resignation and is preparing to take his family back to his hometown Jiangqi to retire.

In short, a series of court changes and policy reforms are now on the right track.

Therefore, in just a few days, Ying Zhen looked exhausted and his complexion was not as good as before.

At a time like this, it is undoubtedly very rare to have a good friend like Wu Ming and Chong Xiao to make jokes.

"Have you ever thought about serving in the court, Chongxiao?"

Ying Zhen suddenly changed the subject, "Song Shaoqing is full of praise for your ability. He will definitely be happy if you can go."

Hearing this, Chongxiao waved his hand quickly.

"No...no, I still want to go back to being my Dragon Gate Inspector."
