With the return of a large number of Wuzun Wu Kings and the martial law order issued by the royal family, Tianling City, which has become a recognized imperial capital, suddenly became tense, and the streets and alleys were full of heavily armed patrol teams, and the citizens tried to go out as much as possible, and even the bustling streets were no longer as lively as usual.

The four gates of the Imperial City are open for three hours a day, and the rest of the city is closed.

Tang Yan and the others arrived in Tianling City before dark, and entered the long-lost ancient city in the team of a chamber of commerce, which belonged to the intelligence department of the Great Zhou Empire, and the task was to provide camouflage cover for Tang Yan and others.

Besides, with the presence of the warlock Nia, the difficulty of entering the city was not enough to stump them.

"Does King Zhou Ling really regard himself as an emperor?" Walking on the sparsely populated 'bustling' streets, Matthews made no secret of his murderous intent, and his fierce gaze penetrated through the layers of buildings to the towering palace complex deep in the inner city.

Niya reminded: "Convergence point, there are two demi-saints inside the palace, and the demi-saint soul power of the Holy Spirit Hall is very strong, and it can capture excessively strong emotional fluctuations. We try to be as convergent as possible, and it is not appropriate to leak in advance. ”

"Uncle Ruthless, how many martial artists are gathered in the Imperial City?" Tang Yan frowned and stared at the Imperial City, vaguely able to gather the irregular gathering of heaven and earth energy in the high altitude in that area, and there were strong signs of fluctuations, which was a natural phenomenon caused by too many strong people gathering without restraint.

At the very least, it can show that the intelligence of the dragon scale troops is correct - a large number of martial artists are gathered in the imperial city, and it is likely that King Zhou Ling is preparing a special operation.

Nian Wuru closed his eyes slightly, calmly breathing, his mind looked towards the imperial city, and after a while, he nodded and said: "Two half-saints, more than sixty martial venerables, of which there are ten third-order martial venerables, and the number of martial kings is more than five hundred. ”

"What a strong lineup!" Even Zhaoyi was shocked by the number of strong people in the imperial city, even if it was thrown in the vast Central Plains, such a lineup was enough to sweep an area, let alone in this remote wasteland in the southern border.

"It seems that King Zhou Ling is planning a big event. Nalan Tu's delicate face was quite calm, and he calmly accepted the gaze of everyone: "On the way here, I stood in the position of King Zhou Ling and the Holy Spirit Hall and made a transposition, assuming that they really value Biannan very much, they will definitely try their best to preserve the integrity of this land, including the natural landform and urban structure, as well as the people's livelihood."

In this way, they will not want to settle their grievances through the national war, and they do not want to make people angry.

If there are enough strong people to use it, just like now, the best way is to lock the main areas and main characters of the Great Zhou royal family, carry out lightning raids, and uproot the high-level ones one by one, which is equivalent to directly cutting off the lifeblood of the Great Zhou Empire.

Judging from the current situation, it is not surprising that they are likely to want to adopt such a plan of action. Two half-saints, sixty martial honors, and five hundred martial kings were enough for them to sweep the upper echelons of the Great Zhou Empire. ”

"I agree with Nalan's speculation, King Zhou Ling and the Holy Spirit Hall have gathered all the powerhouses to converge, and it is likely that they will have a final discussion, and it will only be a few days before they launch an attack.

Now that it's getting dark, I'll sneak into the Imperial City at night to find out, at least learn about their plan of action, and be prepared. ”

Niya genuinely appreciates Nalan's delicate way of thinking and unique reasoning perspective.

Nalan Tu shook his head slowly, but his expression was slightly solemn: "I am eighty percent sure that they are preparing to take a lightning raid to end the border south division, but the question is, what kind of temptation made the Holy Spirit Temple invest such a huge amount of manpower and energy in the border south, and what kind of purpose pushed them to control the border south regardless of loss."

In addition to the collapsed mysterious underground necropolis, there must be something else!

I suspect that the reason why the other demi-saint of the Holy Spirit Temple went south to the coast was not to sneak into the Great Zhou Empire by a detour, but to go straight south to the ocean, where there may be other purposes that could reveal the Holy Spirit Temple's insistence on controlling the south of the border. ”

"Nalan analyzed it very thoroughly, all the way back from Jiulongling to the present, the more I think about the incident in the south of the border, the more it will not be simple. Now the focus is not only on killing King Zhou Ling to solve the affairs of the southern border, but also on finding out the true purpose of the Holy Spirit Temple. ”

Tang Yan was already strictly suspicious of the purpose of the Holy Spirit Temple, but after careful and well-founded scrutiny by the Nalan disciples, he was even more sure of his judgment - the problem was in the coastal area, or even in the barren sea area in the south.

Nalan said: "It's not interesting for us to speculate here, the point is to find out more information as much as possible, I will act separately tonight, but if you want to infiltrate the imperial city, you still have to be cautious." ”

Tang Yan said: "There are only two demi-saints in the palace, and they won't stump us. In this way, you will probe on the periphery, and Uncle Ruthless and I will enter the imperial city separately. Move after dark, meet at midnight, try to keep it hidden, and don't leak until it is absolutely necessary. I don't want to startle the snake in advance, remember the purpose, not only to destroy King Zhou Ling, but also to find out the purpose of the Holy Spirit Temple's deployment in the south of the border. ”

"I'm in charge of the southern suburbs. Matthews made a choice directly, the appearance of Tianling City has not changed much from the Imperial City of Dross back then, he had survived in the southern city for a period of time when he was a child, and he was also responsible for the southern part of the Imperial City Guard, so he had feelings for it and was very familiar with it.

"I'm in charge of the north. ”

"I'm in charge of the east. ”

"The West is left to me. ”

"The rest of the scattered areas are left to our dragon troops. ”

Nya, Zhaoyi, Nalantu, and the dragon forces each have their own choices.

Everyone first followed the chamber of commerce team back to a courtyard located in the hidden place of the outer city, settled down temporarily, and after a short rest, when the sky was dark and the imperial city was a little more lively, Tang Yan and the others immediately dodged away, taking advantage of the night to sneak around all corners of the ancient city.

The evil dragon troops are proficient in spying and have rich experience in performing tasks, so they don't need to worry about their whereabouts, and Tang Yan and the others are even more extraordinary, even the slightly weaker Nalan disciples are all second-order martial artists, and the rest are either third-order, half-saints, or direct saints.

While Niya and the others scattered to investigate, Nian Ruthless was the first to sneak into the palace.

Tang Yan then infiltrated with a hidden 'ghost'.

The palace complex is very large, and the imperial guards patrol around, and the security is very tight, and you can see the armored warriors advancing as a whole everywhere.

If you feel it carefully, you can find that one by one, the Venerable aura appears in various areas, forming a fishnet that envelops the entire palace group.

Tang Yan and the ghost shadow moved forward together, trying to avoid the patrol team, haunting the main hall and important areas such as the harem and the academy, but after several tosses, they did not find the desired scene.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Tang Yan was guided by the wolf's tooth and found a special figure in a special place - King Zhou Ling!

Imperial City, Zoo!

King Zhou Ling had been staying here since the afternoon, and as the Great War approached, he preferred to stay here more and more to taste the blood and carnage.

The lightning sneak attack battle is coming, and once the ruling power of the Great Zhou royal family in various places collapses, the entire fertile land in the south of the border will become its own territory.

At that time, the yellow robe will be wrapped, the crown will come, and the crown of the 'Emperor of the Ages' will finally fall on his head.

Although King Zhou Ling was deep in the city, he also secretly resisted the Holy Spirit Temple's too strong intervention against him, but looking forward to the glorious glory of the 'Emperor of the Ages' in front of him, he still couldn't stop his excitement.

"The entire territory of the southern border will be turned into the territory of this king, and hundreds of millions of subjects will submit to me!" King Zhou Ling stood by the fence, staring at the bloody battle between the two groups of vicious wolves in the beastyard below, his hands clenched hard, and a wave of pride flourished.

But he didn't notice that somewhere in the sinful man-made garden below, two figures sat casually among the branches, staring at him coldly through the shadows of the trees, through the darkness of the night.

“...... King Zhou Ling......"

Tang Yan stared at the familiar figure, his face expressionless, but there was a clear killing intent in his eyes. In the depths of my mind, I can't help but sketch all kinds of scenes back then, from the framing of the psychedelic forest to the pursuit, from the tragic battle of Elephant City to the escape, and then to the national war of Dross.

His own downfall, Tang Qiong's misfortune, and Eliinda's tragic death all come directly from this man!

The Rao family's Granny Li, Venerable Fireying, and all the juniors of the family all died under this man's butcher's knife!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a deep feud in the sea of blood!

Even if Tang Qiong escapes and Elinda is resurrected, he and the Rao family can be considered passable, but they are not enough to offset the original sins committed by King Zhou Ling.

"You have made me experience more than ten years of remorse and pain, and it is finally time to repay, King Zhou Ling, let's play slowly, we won't let you die lightly!"

Tang Yan restrained the killing impulse in his body very well, now was not the time to kill him, and he didn't plan to let him easily 'repay the blood debt'!

At this time......

"Your Majesty! Urgent letter!" A confidant general hurried over from a distance, and handed the letter to King Zhou Ling with a solemn expression.
