Chapter 666: Palace Night Thief
The Seven Gods Phantom has taken a year and a half from being taught by the master to becoming a small one and a half now, and it took at least three months to cultivate the Seven Gods Phantom, compared to Bing Ruoyan's achievement of condensing the strength of five Buddha-figures in a month, it is not very good-looking, but from the perspective of Yang Yan's cultivation realm, it can be said that it has made rapid progress.
If you can comprehend the essence of it, it will be easy to get started, but if you can't, even if you practice hard for three or five years, it may not be effective, and whether you succeed or not, it is just a thought.
The distress is that Yang Yan knows this, but without any clue, he can only practice hard over and over again.
And just when Yang Yan was at a loss, a new major event occurred in the imperial city, which made the contradiction escalate suddenly.
On the third day of the disappearance of the Qingyan Daoist of the Tianyun Sect, the first day of the mad elder of the Beast Control Sect and more than ten disciples of the sect entered the city by beast, in broad daylight, the mad elder disappeared under the noses of the disciples, without a trace, no one said clearly what happened at that time, which was even more bizarre than the disappearance of the Qingyan Daoist.
After the news came out, all the forces were in an uproar, there was no doubt that the mysterious powerhouse made another move, and changed a target, just entered the Imperial City's Beast Gate, for a while everyone only felt that the surroundings were gloomy, which made people's hearts hairy, and the fear psychology became more irritable, and the incidence of friction incidents rose in a straight line, not only did the injured people become more and more, but the injuries were much more serious, and an inner disciple of the Ziyang Sect was cut off an arm by a Sword Sect disciple in the melee, and the disciple of the Agni Sect was already hot, how crazy did he come to fight, and almost burned a Sword Sect disciple to deathγ
If at this time, all the forces still have restraint, they have not really caused any trouble, and they can still talk about the sky, then the two major events that happened next completely set the forces against each other.
One incident happened on the second day when the Wild Elder disappeared out of thin air, and a Ruthless Sect disciple somehow died in the room of a Beast Control Sect disciple, and his death was extremely miserable, as if he had been bitten by a demon beast all over his body.
Even if the disciple of the Beast Gate insisted on denying it, the disciple of the Ruthless Gate still refused to give up, and the dispute was fierce, and the youngest disciple of the Ruthless Gate drew his sword in anger, and killed the disciple of the Beast Gate with a sword on the spot.
So the people of the Beast Control Gate were also angry, but the mad elder was made to life and death by the mysterious powerhouse, and entanglement with the ruthless gate would only bring humiliation on himself, so he had to swallow his anger.
But this breath didn't last long, and the second big thing happened, all the disciples of the Beast Control Sect died tragically in the inn!
And they all died in their own rooms!
There is no trace of any fight!
It's all a sword to seal the throat!
Neat!
Killer!
Almost for the first time, everyone locked the murderer as a disciple of the Ruthless Gate, this kind of clean and neat, no trace of the killing method, like the style of the Ruthless Gate, fighting head-on, the strength of the disciples of the Ruthless Gate may not be stronger than the disciples of the Beast Control Gate, but they are killers, it is not difficult to kill all these disciples of the Beast Control Sect by the means of a killer, and it just so happens that the disciples of the Beast Control Gate obviously died in assassination.
Except for the Ruthless Gate, what other force can do it?
No one thinks that this is also done by the mysterious powerhouse, firstly, the strong man is not so boring to shoot at the people of the Lingyuan Realm, secondly, the mysterious powerhouse has twice shot at heavyweights like the elders of the top forces, and thirdly, if it is done by the mysterious powerhouse, it should be the collective disappearance of the disciples of the Beast Control Sect, how can there be a corpse, and there are obvious traces of murder?
Obviously, someone took advantage of the signboard of the mysterious strong man to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to cut off some of his competitors.
Under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, the disciples of the Tianyun Sect took the lead and couldn't help it, the newly accepted disciples of the Qingyan Daoist, Ah Qi and Ling Yue, accused the Ruthless Sect in public of not being the son of man, and slaughtered all the disciples of the Beast Control Sect when the mad elder was gone, and their master Qingyan Daoist was also alive and dead, could it be that one day these disciples of the Tianyun Sect would also die inexplicably in the room?
The Purple Yang Sect, the Flame Sect, and the Sword Sect also launched a verbal and written attack on the Ruthless Sect, and even said the "fact" that "the mysterious powerhouse who hunted the elders of the various sects is the powerhouse of the Ruthless Gate", and attacked it in groups with the Tianyun Sect, and the disciples of the Ruthless Sect were invincible with both fists and four hands, and they couldn't argue with their mouths, and they deeply realized how aggrieved the disciples of the Beast Control Sect were that day.
What's even more exciting is that three days later, the beast gate made a comeback, this time the two elders arrived together, and there were hundreds of disciples, and they directly found the ruthless doorman, and it was reasonable to fight and couldn't beat it, the ruthless door threw down two lives, and left the imperial city in disgrace.
However, the situation in the imperial city did not ease because of this, but intensified, and the forces of all parties were wary and hateful to each other, and the atmosphere of saber rattling lasted until the day of the promotion ceremony, and the contradictions were temporarily transferred.
Yang Yan deeply regretted that the forces of all parties did not fight, but he was not disappointed, his goal had been achieved, even if there was a big cake of the Tianyang Dynasty in front of them that would make them all aim at the Tianyang Dynasty at the same time, but they would also be deeply wary and vigilant against each other, it was impossible to unite, and they would divide part of their forces, so the pressure on the Tianyang Dynasty would naturally be much less.
With Yang Yan's current cultivation realm, he can't compete with the major forces head-on, this is the limit of what he can do, whether the Tianyang Dynasty can survive this catastrophe depends on the means of the Yang Emperor and the Zhenzong Emperor, and how to play with the forces.
In fact, after laying out these few moves, Yang Yan didn't worry about this matter except for learning about the situation in the outside world from Xu Liang's mouth and the secret letter sent by Xiaozhuguan, and many times it was too much, and his focus was on the cultivation of "Thousand Heavy Waves".
In the past few days, Shui Nianyu has been bored in his room and ignored him, Bing Ruoyan stood quietly outside the courtyard and watched him try again and again, failing again and again, after watching it for a long time, he was a little distracted.
If it were him, he would never find a way, would he have practiced so tirelessly again and again, and kept persevering?
No!
He must have given up his foolishness soon, and consulted everywhere, especially pestering himself, that guy is not a patient man!
Otherwise, it won't be ......
His eyes were slightly red, Bing Ruoyan turned his back and floated away, no matter what, he couldn't go back......
Dusty ......
Yan'er ......
It's still different after all...... Perhaps, she should cherish the present even more......
But, how can you let go?
She can't do it!
......
When night falls, the palace is dark, only a few palaces are lit by lights, the defensive Yulin guards scrupulously abide by their posts, the palace guards are responsible for patrolling, almost every corner has three teams of palace guards walking by in less than a quarter of an hour, each team cooperates tacitly, the rotation is extremely smooth, tightly stitched, there is no loophole that can be exploited, it can be described as strict.
But there is a word called hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, there is no such thing as a flawless defense in this prosperous world of martial arts, as long as the strength is enough, you can sneak in without alarming anyone, such as the current black shadow that is moving quickly against the wall like a ghost, he seems to be one with the night, even if the palace guards walk by, they will not be aware of his existence at all.
"Stop, there's a hidden formation ahead, you go ten steps to the southwest, and then a hundred steps to the left to bypass it. An old voice sounded in the black shadow's mind, and the black shadow was startled and hurriedly did so.
However, as soon as he finished walking according to the instructions, the voice in his head sounded again: "There is a chain of formations in front, and it is a dead end to move the whole body, go back fifty steps, and continue to walk three thousand steps in the southwest direction." β
Dark Shadow: "......"
The old man's voice was a little helpless, he was not a master of formations, and the formations in the palace were extremely delicate and hidden, some formations he could use his super perception to make the black shadow avoid in advance, but some formations had to be quite close to be detected, which made the black shadow go every step in horror.
The black shadow's bare forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, not tired, purely nervous.
"Teacher, this guard is too strict, not to mention so many Praetorian Guard sergeants and patrols, hidden formations are endless, are we too reckless, I feel like walking a tightrope. The dark shadow grumbled inwardly as he struggled forward.
"An intermediate dynasty can be promoted to a high-level dynasty in just a thousand years, you think it's a game, there is no old man to cover the perception of the guards for you, to cover up your qi, you can't even enter the palace wall outside, don't talk nonsense, follow the old man's instructions." The old voice said.
The black shadow had to be honest, and after experiencing a few more shocks, he couldn't help but say in his heart, "Teacher, are you sure there is the thing I need?"
Don't spend a lot of effort, risk death to break into the palace at night, and finally the bamboo basket is empty, then you will be unjustly killed!
"Why? Don't believe in the teacher, or don't you believe in the map?" the old voice snorted coldly.
"Don't dare!" The black shadow hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm just a little weak-hearted, if something is found but I put my life on hold, how worthless it is, if I don't find something and lose my life, wouldn't it be even worse?"
"Hey, hey. The old man's voice sneered, "Although the old man is no longer as powerful as he was back then, but if he wants to take you away, there are few people in the world who can stop him. β
The black shadow hurriedly silenced and walked a few steps forward, when suddenly a buzzing sound sounded, the light of the formation was bright, and he just screamed in his heart that it was not good, and in an instant, the lights were bright, and countless hurried but uniform footsteps sounded, and figures in the air came galloping.
"Those who trespass on the palace will be sentenced for the crime of treason, and they will be taken quickly! If there is resistance, they will be killed!"
"Teacher, why didn't you remind me ......" The black shadow watched a large number of Praetorian Guards arrive, surrounded himself, and the strong men in the air also arrived, his eyes froze, and he said with a sad face, he was actually discovered, and he was not mentally prepared at all......
