C81 Entering the Palace!
Tang Xuner looked at Ye Wuchen doubtfully. Although she did not express anything, it was obvious that Tang Xuner was displeased.
Ye Wuchen quickly explained the meeting between him and Qin Ziqing and then Qin Ziqing had disappeared.
When Tang Xuner knew it was Qin Ziqing, a glimmer still appeared in front of her eyes. She seemed to have some childhood memories, she knew that the one with the best relationship in the royal family of the Yuan Wu Empire was Sister Qin Ziqing. Qin Ziqing was also her uncle's third daughter.
"Humph, then I want to go as well!" Tang Xuner hugged Ye Wuchen tightly. No matter what, she didn't care about the situation. Since Ye Wuchen wanted to save the other woman, she had to follow him.
Ye Wuchen could not refuse. After all, the relationship between the two of them was indeed very delicate at the moment. Therefore, it was best not to let Tang Xuner down at this time and could only agree to her request.
This time, Ye Wuchen didn't need to sneak into the palace. On the contrary, he could enter the palace in an honorable manner, because Tang Xuner's identity was quite special. She was the niece of the Emperor, the granddaughter of the Old Ancestor Qin Ming, and also the eldest daughter of the Tang Sect's young miss.
Even if they didn't have the first two layers, just by her status as the Tang Clan's young miss, not to mention the imperial palace of a third-rate empire, even the imperial palace of a second-rate empire, Tang Xuner could enter as she pleased and leave as she pleased.
Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the royal palace. Looking at the magnificent golden palace, layer by layer, Ye Wuchen counted. There were more than a hundred palaces in the royal palace, which took up several dozen miles of space.
There was a tall wall dozens of meters high outside. It was guarded by countless experts to prevent anyone from causing trouble for the empire.
Ye Wuchen was glad that he didn't break into the palace. If he did, it would be no problem for him to leave, but it would be troublesome if he brought Qin Ziqing with him.
What Ye Wuchen did not know was that not long after the two of them left the run-down temple, the imperial guards found the run-down temple and saw Second Master Ba, who had died a horrible death. After recognizing the latter's identity, the guards immediately informed the Tyrant's Legion, who was far away from Tianyong City.
When Ba Hu heard about his son's tragic death, his vision went dark and he fainted. When he woke up, he announced to all members of the Tyrant's Legion that they must find the culprit and avenge Master Ba Er.
"Who killed my son? Who, who is it! " A mournful roar like that of a lion and tiger shook the entire space. The entire silence of the Tianyong City was broken as a bloodthirsty and somber feeling filled the air.
Ye Wuchen and Tang Xuner, who were standing at the entrance of the palace a thousand miles away, were stopped by a guard.
Ye Wuchen had never imagined that a guard would be a Fifth Layer Saint Master. If this was in an ordinary family or in the Imperial College, they would at least qualify to be Heaven's Pride, but in the Imperial Palace, they could only guard the gates.
Ye Wuchen couldn't help but feel that this Yuan Wu Empire wasn't as simple as it seemed. Before this, he didn't feel that there was anything amazing about it, but now that he had personally come to the palace, Ye Wuchen had to reconsider his relationship with the empire and how to get along with it.
But now, Ninth Prince Qin Liuyang had been killed by his own mouth, this was a fact that could not be wiped out, and so was the Imperial Prince Qin Wuhao. If he offended Grand Princess Qin Ziyi for Qin Ziqing, then he would still be going against the royal family members.
While Ye Wuchen was deep in thought, the guard in front of him asked in a low voice, "Do the two of you have the palace medallion?"
"No!" In the past, Grandmaster Qin Tang had indeed given him a command medallion, but Ye Wuchen did not take that medallion because he had ultimately chosen the Imperial College over the imperial family.
"No?" Hehe, then I'm sorry, but the palace rules state that without the token, no one is allowed to enter! You should hurry up and leave! " The guard was slightly stunned. He had never met anyone who dared to come to the palace without a token. He could not help but speak coldly, not giving Ye Wuchen the slightest bit of face.
Ye Wuchen didn't care at all. As the rules were set, the guards would only do what he had to do, but Tang Xuner couldn't bear to see her little brother humiliated. She raised her left hand and placed a shining golden token on the guard's head.
"Dog slave, your dog eyes are blind. You even dare to stop me?" Tang Xuner scolded angrily with a sullen face. She wanted to help her little brother vent his anger. She couldn't let him suffer such unreasonable criticism.
Ye Wuchen smiled faintly at the side. Of course, he understood Tang Xuner's thoughts, but he did not stop her. It was good to teach the guards a lesson, so that they would not look down on others.
The guard was stunned for a moment before his face paled and he fell to his knees with a thump. The other guards also recognized the meaning of the golden token and all kneeled down in fear.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
"Ancestor?" Ye Wuchen was stunned. When he heard the guards call out "Ancestor" in unison, he was somewhat surprised. However, he quickly understood that this should be Qin Tang's token. He had given it to Tang Xuner.
"Little big brother, let's go!" Tang Xuner snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to the guards. She entered the palace gate side by side with Ye Wuchen and disappeared from the guards' sight.
Only after Tang Xuner had disappeared did the guards dare to stand up. However, the arrogant guard leader had a gloomy expression on his face as he berated in a low voice, "Quickly inform General Bai that a thief stole the Old Ancestor's token and has entered the palace!"
He didn't believe that a teenage girl would dare to take the ancestor's token, she must have stolen it.
Of course, the guard didn't know Tang Xuner, nor did he know of the latter's identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to say such words.
Very quickly, the Imperial Palace began to boil. There was actually someone who stole the Old Ancestor's medallion and barged into the Imperial Palace? What was this?
When Baili Chi heard about this, he immediately sent out a lot of men to search throughout the palace. The atmosphere in the palace suddenly changed, becoming more solemn. Many officials were surprised. Why were the guards so flustered today?
"Baili Chi?" An official saw that the one leading the group was none other than Baili Chi. His face couldn't help but change as he hurriedly called out to this handsome young man.
Baili Chi was one of the Two Ultimate Martial Saints, and was as famous as Qin Yantian. However, he was a Heaven's Pride of the Imperial Family, and also one of the Imperial Family's Holy Spirit, which had the same significance as the Celestial Token of the Imperial College.
Of course, Baili Chi had a more secretive identity, which was the future empire's Prince Consort. And his woman was the most favored woman of the day, Grand Princess.
"Minister Zuo, are you leaving the palace?" Baili Chi galloped his horse to the official's side, then got off the horse with a smile on his face.
Minister Zuo, a position.
"General Bai, what happened?" The Minister of the Left asked with a look of astonishment. Baili Chi did not waste any time explaining the whole situation, and the Minister of the Left's face suddenly changed. He couldn't help but exclaim, "The thieves stole the Old Ancestor's medallion?"
"Minister Zuo, why are you in such a panic?" Baili Chi asked in confusion.
"That person holding the token is a girl. She has already gone to the emperor's palace with a man. They are already here!"
"Not good! Minister Zuo, we'll resume our mission when we have time in the future. Listen to me, everyone! Head to the emperor's palace!" Baili Chi jumped onto the horse and the reins moved. Baili Chi's figure was immediately gone from the spacious street. At the same time, all the guards were also gathering in the palace hall.
Ye Wuchen and Tang Xuner entered the palace without any obstructions. With the Old Ancestor's token, no one dared to stop them, so they could only obediently step aside.
Ye Wuchen looked around and felt the flow of Qi around. However, he did not find anything abnormal. It was also impossible for Qin Ziqing to be in the palace. It was most likely Qin Ziyi's palace.
Other than Qin Ziyi, it was impossible for anyone to kidnap Qin Ziqing. Therefore, Ye Wuchen was sure that this matter was related to Qin Ziyi.
"Xun Er, do you know Qin Ziyi?" Ye Wuchen asked in a low voice as they walked.
"Not familiar!" Tang Xuner shook her head, but her meaning was obvious. It was just that she wasn't familiar with him.
Ye Wuchen nodded and fell into deep thought. In front of him was the palace hall. As long as they entered, they would be able to see the king of the Yuan Wu Empire.
However, at this time, more than ten red-robed men suddenly flew out from outside the palace wall and gathered at the palace hall. Ye Wuchen frowned; it was obvious that these men were heading towards him and Tang Xuner.
Wu Tie, who was riding on a handsome horse, also stopped at the same place, surrounding Ye Wuchen and Tang Xuner tightly. The atmosphere also changed accordingly.
"How dare you steal the medallion of the old ancestor and barge into the palace? You truly do not know your place. Men, seize him!" Baili Chi was dressed in a gorgeous white robe with a jade ribbon wrapped around his body and a crown tied to his head. Coupled with his handsome face, he gave off a special kind of beauty.
His cold shout made all the guards move. They charged straight at Ye Wuchen and Tang Xuner, wanting to grab them and wait for their orders.
"Humph!" Ye Wuchen let out a cold snort. He released both of his palms and released the Emperor Sacred Vein s' power, turning it into thousands of blood colored light figures. They rushed forward and all the guards who were rushing forward, without exception, were pushed back.
At this moment, the atmosphere was heavy with killing intent. Ye Wuchen killing off all the bodyguards with a single move caused Baili Chi to be even more shocked. A mere Fifth Layer Saint Master actually had such a terrifying strength.
This meant that the black-clothed youth in front of him was not simple.
"I'll meet you in person!" Baili Chi roared, his feet stomped on the saddle and he flew out from the horse. He raised his fist and punched. The terrifying Astral Qi pierced through the surrounding space, a fist as fast as a meteor. It carried the tyrannical power of a demonic beast as it headed straight for Ye Wuchen's chest.
"Soaring Dragon Soars the Sea!" Ye Wuchen roared and threw out his fists. At once, blue waves rushed out and turned into two gigantic palm shadows that collided with Baili Chi's fist.
Suddenly, the sky and earth lost their color, the earth trembled, and the entire palace hall sank into extreme shock. The remaining energy that had been released for dozens of miles had forced all the guards to take several steps back.
Countless guards were shocked and confused. It was simply hard to imagine Ye Wuchen's strength to be so powerful. To be able to fight against Baili Chi and not be at a disadvantage at all?
At this moment, Ye Wuchen and Baili Chi took a step back at the same time. Ye Wuchen's blood was churning but he was being suppressed by the Upper Sky Spiritual Body. On the other hand, Baili Chi's face had a tinge of red but quickly returned to normal.
This time, the two of them ended the match in a draw.
"Again!" Baili Chi's fighting spirit was completely aroused, so he raised his fist and was about to attack.
"Enough, everyone withdraw. Xun Er, all of you come in!"
Just as the battle between Ye Wuchen and Baili Chi was about to begin, an ethereal bell-like voice suddenly came from inside the hall. The voice was calm and awe-inspiring.
Ye Wuchen felt a trace of fear. This person's strength was truly terrifying.
"It's His Majesty!" The guards were all pleasantly surprised as they looked into the depths of the hall.
