Chapter 419: Chapter 350: Consorts’ Furnace
"Hm?"
"Celestial Longevity Mountain... Your Majesty is in trouble!"
Capital City, Xu Mansion!
Xu Mujun sensed something the moment the first explosion rang out from Celestial Longevity Mountain.
With a flicker of his figure, he appeared atop the loft of Xu Mansion, gazing towards Celestial Longevity Mountain.
Under the dark night, sparks and lightning intermittently flickered from Celestial Longevity Mountain, accompanied by a chilling murderous aura.
"Intruders are launching a surprise attack on Celestial Longevity Mountain; not good, Your Majesty is in danger!"
He exclaimed in shock, his face as stern as water, then without hesitation dashed towards the direction of Celestial Longevity Mountain.
Yet just as he was about to leave Xu Mansion, someone blocked his way.
Upon closer look, it was Chen Liancang.
"Eunuch Chen?"
Chen Liancang, upon seeing Xu Mujun, immediately let out a long sigh of relief, and promptly produced a token, saying: "Edict from Your Majesty!"
"Subject Xu Mujun receives the decree!"
Xu Mujun respectfully cupped his hands, having already guessed what it might be.
"Xu Qing, you protect the Capital City well for me; there’s no need for you to come to Celestial Longevity Mountain."
"Subject obeys!"
Xu Mujun respectfully replied, then stood up and asked, "Eunuch Chen, what exactly has happened at Celestial Longevity Mountain?"
Chen Liancang put away the token and indifferently said: "Nothing significant, just a bunch of clowns."
"Celestial Longevity Mountain is fine, but Your Majesty is worried some loose cultivators might take the chance to attack the Imperial Palace, and hopes Grand General Xu can protect the Imperial Palace well."
"Imperial Palace..."
Xu Mujun also vaguely sensed something, immediately saying: "This General understands..."
Suddenly, both of them froze, sharply looking towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.
From the direction of the Imperial Palace, came bursts of firelight and sounds of battle, accompanied by faint laughter from many people.
The attack on Celestial Longevity Mountain and the plundering of cultivation treasures were secretly planned by Youlinzi, the Du Family, and others.
However, many loose cultivators, unlike those following Youlinzi and others in assaulting Celestial Longevity Mountain, chose instead to target the Imperial Palace!
From their perspective, there must be plenty of cultivation items in the Imperial Palace!
Compared to the heavily guarded and perilous Celestial Longevity Mountain, the defense of the Imperial Palace was weaker.
"Damn it...!"
Xu Mujun’s eyes were filled with killing intent as he immediately said: "Eunuch Chen, this General will take his leave first."
"Inform Your Majesty, with this General around, no enemy will set foot inside the Imperial Palace."
"Unless this General... wrapped in horse hide!"
As soon as the words fell, his figure turned into a shadow, rushing towards the direction of the Imperial Palace, filled with murderous intent.
Watching the direction of Xu Mujun’s departure, Chen Liancang bowed deeply on the ground: "Grand General Xu... I’m counting on you."
On Celestial Longevity Mountain.
"Boom!"
Amidst a deafening sound, after wasting more than ten loose cultivators to block Xuan Jizi, Xiong Gang, and others, several dozen loose cultivator figures finally broke into Linxiao Hall.
"Linxiao Hall!"
Looking at the plaque standing before the hall, this group of loose cultivators couldn’t help but feel their scalp tingling.
In the Profound Cyan Realm, there are legends of the Immortal Realm and myths of the Immortal Court.
The so-called Linxiao Hall is the master of the Immortal Court!
"Emperor Zhengyong dares to call himself Linxiao Hall!"
"Mad! Totally mad!"
"Hahaha... There must be treasures here, friends, quickly take action...!"
Before the words fell, dozens of figures already charged into Linxiao Hall, starting to burn, kill, and loot everywhere.
"Spurt!"
"Spurt spurt spurt...!"
At this moment, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out.
Who would’ve thought that the first three figures to charge in were penetrated by black rays as dense as a torrential rain, blood staining the ground.
The bodies were also heavily smashed onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Who goes there!"
Remaining loose cultivators immediately became cautious, looking around amazed.
Inside Linxiao Hall, several figures slowly emerged.
Cui Xiabing, surrounded by intense cold air, and black rays spiraling around.
Zhuang Yuheng, dressed in a Daoist robe, with an immortal demeanor.
Yue Chan, clad in a red robe, vibrant as fire, and seemingly with a mysterious black shadow behind her.
Additionally, there were Dongyun Jie, Dongyun Yu, Yang Liuqing, Su Xi, and others.
They, as cultivators, were also the masters of Linxiao Hall, and stepped forward at this moment.
"Cultivators!"
"They are Emperor Zhengyong’s consorts!"
"Three late-stage Qi Cultivation... be careful!"
"Only these few are left?"
"Hahaha... these women are nothing but furnaces, such a rich Pure Yin Qi..."
"I happen to have practiced the Dual Cultivation Technique... hahaha!"
Among the crowd, laughter and various indecent words continued to emerge, with many loose cultivators quietly surrounding them.
Facing this group of people, Cui Xiabing coldly said, "Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who breaches Celestial Longevity Mountain is to be executed without mercy!"
"Kill!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
As soon as the words fell, she immediately formed a seal with both hands, her Seven Killings Soul-annihilating Needle that she had trained for over ten years instantly glittered with patches of black light, shooting towards the loose cultivators like a torrential rain!
"Careful! This woman’s magical artifact is a flying needle..."
"Ah! Such speed!"
"So painful... my magical artifact!"
Cries of agony rang out one after another, only to see the Seven Killings Soul-annihilating Needle swiftly enter the crowd, sparking a flurry of fire.
Some cultivators hurriedly conjured defensive magical artifacts for protection, but the Seven Killings Soul-annihilating Needle easily penetrated their defensive magical shield, even piercing through their bodies.
Others tried to dodge using body technique, but Cui Xiabing, employing her own formidable strength and Divine Sense, commanded the Seven Killings Soul-annihilating Needle to relentlessly slaughter the loose cultivators.
In merely ten breaths, seven or eight people had already fallen by her hand.
Meanwhile, the seemingly cute Yue Chan also took action.
She parted her crimson lips, and strange cries emanated from her mouth.
It sounded like a spell, yet also as if an insect’s chirping.
Instantly, shadows flew from her back, viciously pouncing onto the group of loose cultivators.
