Chapter 1980: Ambush
Jingyue Palace, inside Jingyue Hall.
It is already late in the day.
But inside Jingyue Hall, the lights are bright.
The Jingyue Emperor, the Jingyue Empress Dowager, along with the Great General of the Jingyue Dynasty, Liuw Cheng, and the leader of the Jingyue Group, Hea Zhangxuan, are all gathered here.
Outside it is pitch black.
The doors of Jingyue Hall are tightly shut, and only inside the hall is it brightly lit.
The Jingyue Emperor spoke, "They mentioned the Blood Spirit Pavilion to me just now. I doubt we can keep them in Jingyue Palace anymore, so we might have to act ahead of schedule."
The Jingyue Emperor at this moment is entirely different from when facing Qin Chen.
He now appears like a snake hidden in the shadows.
Sly, deceitful.
The Jingyue Empress Dowager said, "We are well-prepared. Even if we act earlier, we will certainly succeed."
The Jingyue Emperor said, "During the day, when Tiang challenged him, he easily immobilized Tiang with a simple gesture. With such prowess, are you really sure that our action will be one hundred percent successful, mother?"
"Anyway, I didn’t see through his strength."
He seems a bit worried.
The Jingyue Empress Dowager’s face was grim, "But precisely because he fits the conditions needed by the Blood Spirit Ancestor, isn’t that so?"
"They are in the open, we are in the shadows."
"You needn’t worry about this, just notify the Blood Spirit Ancestor as soon as possible and prepare to claim your reward."
The Jingyue Emperor nodded.
Clearly, this seems to be a conspiracy against Qin Chen and Lin Songyun.
The so-called plea for help, seems to be merely an excuse.
"Liuw Cheng."
The Jingyue Empress Dowager looked towards Liuw Cheng.
Liuw Cheng is the Great General of the Jingyue Dynasty, commanding all the military forces of the Jingyue Dynasty, with a cold expression, always surrounded by an aura of killing intent.
"Empress Dowager."
Liuw Cheng faced the Jingyue Empress Dowager.
The Jingyue Empress Dowager said, "You will act on this matter, plan according to what we’ve previously decided, and remember, it must be a must kill strike, leave no trace of mercy."
Liuw Cheng nodded, "Empress Dowager rest assured, I will capture them alive."
"Make sure not to kill them."
The Jingyue Empress Dowager reminded.
Liuw Cheng nodded again.
"Go prepare."
The Jingyue Empress Dowager waved her hand, and Liuw Cheng immediately left, followed by the departure of the Jingyue Emperor and others.
In Jingyue Hall, only the Jingyue Empress Dowager and the leader of Jingyue Group, Hea Zhangxuan, remained.
The Jingyue Group is a team secretly cultivated by the Jingyue Dynasty.
Many civil and military officials of the Jingyue Royal Family are unaware of the existence of the Jingyue Group.
The number is small.
But each member is elite.
Even the Jingyue Emperor does not have the authority to command the Jingyue Group, only the Jingyue Empress Dowager can.
Hea Zhangxuan stood there, not leaving, nor speaking.
"I must ensure that the plan succeeds."
The Jingyue Empress Dowager was still a bit worried; nothing must go wrong.
"Hea Zhangxuan."
The Jingyue Empress Dowager looked at Hea Zhangxuan.
Hea Zhangxuan saluted the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager."
The Jingyue Empress Dowager said, "To ensure success, you will also proceed on the mission."
Hea Zhangxuan nodded, "Empress Dowager rest assured."
The Jingyue Empress Dowager nodded to herself, "Liuw Cheng combined with Hea Zhangxuan, the two should make sure nothing goes wrong."
...
Inside the palace, Qin Chen and Lin Songyun walked into a bedroom surrounded by numerous servants and maids.
Never having been served by so many people before.
Qin Chen felt extremely uneasy.
As if he was being watched.
"Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Qin Chen suggested.
Lin Songyun nodded.
Qin Chen said, "Let’s conceal our forms and go out to avoid disturbing too many people."
He’s truly afraid that if he walks out, a large group of people would gather around him again.
Lin Songyun nodded.
The two, one wielding the Invisibility Talent, and the other wearing the Heavenly Concealing Skin, quietly left the Jingyue Emperor.
They arrived at a deserted mountain outside Jingyue Imperial City.
Here is rarely visited, and the surroundings are very quiet.
Sitting atop the mountain, feeling the cool breeze in the air, they can see the splendid night view of Jingyue Imperial City and the dazzling night sky, quite pleasant.
"Actually, what we want is just such a simple life."
Qin Chen suddenly said as he watched everything.
Lin Songyun nodding in agreement, "Yes, but often simple lives are not so easy to have."
"But we will certainly have it."
Qin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Songyun smiled merrily at Qin Chen, "Qin Qi said, your Heavenly Blade Saint Sect has a senior sister who is very beautiful, what’s her name?"
Qin Chen answered, "Ouyang Panxue, last time Qin Qi mentioned her, she’s currently cultivating at Heavenly God Mountain."
Lin Songyun asked, "Is she very beautiful?"
Qin Chen immediately reacted, "Time is tight, we mustn’t forget even for a moment, we need to practice diligently."
Saying this, he closed his eyes, entering a state of cultivation.
Appearing completely detached from external affairs.
Lin Songyun pouted and looked around.
Under the night, it always makes people melancholic.
She whispered softly, "Aunt Qing, father, mother, are you doing well right now?"
Always in her heart, she worried about them.
But then she shook her head, "Only by becoming strong can I have everything. Aunt Qing, soon I will bring you out from the Great Star Dynasty."
She imagined that after leaving the Spirit God Clan, Aunt Qing would definitely be implicated.
...
Inside the palace arranged by the Jingyue Emperor for Qin Chen and Lin Songyun.
Liuw Cheng had already learned from an informant in the palace about the bedroom where Qin Chen and Lin Songyun reside.
Of course, the informant did not know that Qin Chen and Lin Songyun were not actually inside the bedroom.
At this moment, deep into the night.
Everything is very quiet.
Liuw Cheng worked very hard to conceal his presence, approaching the bedroom of Qin Chen and Lin Songyun.
As he was about to reach the target bedroom, Liuw Cheng entered a nearby bedroom and adeptly lifted up a piece of the floorboard.
It turns out, the ground of the bedroom had long been dug into a tunnel.
Liuw Cheng entered the tunnel and followed the direction to find the target bedroom. He carefully lifted the floorboard above, holding his breath.
He first lit a circle of Enchanting Incense.
Then hurriedly swallowed a Spirit Pill.
The smell of the Enchanting Incense can induce a state of deep sleep in people.
About half a quarter of an hour passed.
Liuw Cheng felt enough time had passed, and then flipped into the target bedroom.
But after searching the entire bedroom, Liuw Cheng couldn’t find Qin Chen and Lin Songyun.
"Where are they?!"
Liuw Cheng was stunned.
He anticipated the possibility of being discovered and various emergency measures.
But he didn’t expect.
Qin Chen and Lin Songyun weren’t even there!
But just then, he heard a noise.
This instantly heightened his alertness.
In the tunnel, Hea Zhangxuan flipped up cautiously, muttering to himself, "Everything went smoothly."
