Chapter 255: Night Exploration of the Palace

"Seven days later?" Long Wenmu solemnly said.

Ever since he heard about the celebration, he had a plan in mind.

He wanted to enter the palace to find someone, but the palace of the Yang Kingdom was so easy to break into.

The Izuyang Palace must be as strong as a cloud, let alone taking people away, maybe it is impossible just to see Qian Lingxue.

He didn't know exactly what was going on at the palace, but he knew that the celebration might be his best and last chance.

"Why do you care so much about this celebration?" Lan Zhiyin asked. She always felt that along the way, Long Wenmu seemed to be most interested in this celebration.

"Who doesn't care if you can join in the fun. Long Wenmu pretended to smile calmly, "Speaking of which, why did your master arrange me in your yard?"

Generally speaking, when there are guests visiting the sect, there should be a special guest room. Could it be that because he was familiar with Lan Zhiyin, he arranged them together? Long Wenmu was confused, but he didn't bother to think about it.

Lan Zhiyin hung her head silently, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. Under her cover, she didn't let Long Wenmu see it.

"There are indeed some reasons for the master's arrangement, but don't think too much about it. She replied ambiguously, if anything, she didn't say anything to Long Wenmu.

"Senior Sister Lan, there's one more thing I want to ask you, how long does it take to get from here to the palace?"

"Travel normally, from here to the palace, two days away. ”

Two days? Long Wenmu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He also asked Lan Zhiyin about some sect rules and access, and threatened to be tired from the road and to rest for a while, hoping that Lan Zhiyin would not come to disturb him.

After listening to Lan Zhiyin, she just gave him a few blank eyes, she was not tired when she was in a hurry, and now she knows that she is tired.

Long Wenmu smiled and thanked him, then entered his room and closed the door from the inside.

After isolating the inside and outside, I took out the map I had obtained before the trip and identified the direction.

Lan Zhiyin said that it was a two-day journey from this place to the palace, and it was indeed not too far to mark on the map.

It takes two days to travel normally, but at my current speed, if I rush at full speed, I'm afraid I can get there in about half a day.

Keep the route in mind, put away the map, close your eyes and breathe to recover.

Most of the day passed quickly, until the sun was about to set, and the faint twilight shrouded the bustling sect.

The courtyard had already calmed down, and Long Wenmu left the house lightly.

didn't bother Lan Zhiyin, and walked towards the Hundred Flowers Palace alone.

The sky had become dark, and Long Wenmu came to the entrance of the sect.

"Are you the dragon child?" suddenly a voice came.

Long Wenmu wanted to go out without attracting anyone's attention, but who knew that he was seen by a few gatekeepers before he left the Hundred Flowers Palace.

The two female disciples guarding the entrance looked at him with interest.

Long Wenmu smiled at them, the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace were quite young and vigorous, just like the two gatekeepers in front of them, one of them seemed to be about the same age as the night night. A pair of piercing eyes couldn't help but pay attention to him.

"After resting for so long, my body is a little stiff, so I go outside and walk casually. Long Wenmu casually made up a reason.

The two female disciples did not stop it: "Young Master Long is a distinguished guest in the sect, and the palace master explained that Young Master Long can go wherever he wants." However, Long Gongzi is not allowed to go to the mountains behind the sect. ”

"Mountains?" asked Long Wenmu.

"The mountain behind the Hundred Flowers Palace is the Tianmu Mountain Range, which is the forbidden place of our sect. Except for a few elders and Senior Sister Zhiyin and a few core disciples, no one was able to enter. ”

Further back from the mountain range where the Hundred Flowers Palace is located, it is bordered by a vast and boundless mountain range. It should be what they call the Skylight Mountains.

"I'll just walk around casually, and I won't go to your sect's forbidden place. Long Wenmu said briskly.

The female disciple didn't stop him after explaining, but squinted at him with a smile instead of a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Long Wenmu felt that these two girls had a strange attitude.

"Young Master Long, you came back with Senior Sister Lan, could you be Senior Sister Lan's Taoist companion?"

Long Wenmu was stunned for a moment, it is normal for cultivators to love each other to become partners, but where did he and Lan Zhiyin come from this kind of relationship.

But the girl's family has a curiosity. came back with Lan Zhiyin, and he was still handsome and dashing...... Ahem, I'm afraid I was misunderstood by them.

The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, and the other older one scolded her: "You girl, don't ask nonsense, when the time comes, the senior sister will definitely clean you up again." ”

Long Wenmu coughed lightly: "That, you may have misunderstood...... I go out to walk around, and it's not sure when I'll be back, but if someone asks, you can tell me about it. ”

I didn't want to explain more, the more I explained this kind of thing, the more chaotic it became, and with a wave of my hand, I strode towards the outside of the sect.

When he was already far away and sure that the two disciples could no longer see him, he unleashed his fire wings and flew away into the distance.

With seven days to go, perhaps the celebration is the best and last chance. Although this opportunity is rare, it is impossible for Long Wenmu to completely pin his hopes on this celebration.

You have to leave some leeway in doing things. Now that I don't know anything about the Izuyang royal family, I have to at least investigate in these seven days.

There was still some time before the celebration, and he planned to go to the palace first. Of course, it is good to be able to take away Qian Lingxue in advance, even if it can't, at least you have to find out the details of the royal family.

With all his speed, he was much faster than normal. Two days away, if he hurried with all his might, he could get there in half a day.

As night fell, he flew all the way. The level of recovery he has now is comparable to that of the Heavenly Demon War, as long as he doesn't get caught by the Earth Demon Master and the Heavenly Demon Master when he goes to the palace, he basically doesn't have to worry about anything.

Long Wenmu made a leap with all his might, and he didn't know how many cities he passed, until after a night, he vaguely saw the brightly lit giant city in front of him, which should be the imperial city where the imperial palace was located.

The sky was already approaching dawn, and Long Wenmu sped up and flew towards the imperial city.

A few miles away from the Imperial City, he gathered his fire wings and hurried to the ground, and in a moment he came to the front of the Imperial City.

The entrance gate of the imperial city was closed, and there were many guards guarding the city coming and going on the city walls. This is the most important city in the Izuyang Kingdom, Long Wenmu secretly observed, none of those guards who looked ordinary were lower than the cultivation of the Great Demon Master.

Is the Great Demon Master just an ordinary soldier here? This is really not a small skill.

Long Wenmu restrained his breath, Liuyun stepped forward, and rushed onto the city wall in a few flashes.

A few of the great demon masters guarding the city seemed to sense something, but when they looked back, they didn't see anything.

Long Wenmu walked in the clouds, and his body was like a ghost.

If the body method of Liuyunbu can be cultivated to the extreme, when it is used, its body is like a cloud and mist, and it is formless and insubstantial.

Not to mention that Long Wenmu had cultivated Liuyun Step to the extreme, he had at least comprehended the sixth or seventh layer. Maybe you can't hide it from people with high cultivation, but it's okay to avoid the eyes and ears of some great demon masters.

Before the city gate was opened, he could only leap over the city wall, avoiding the many great demon masters who were about to go down the wall, and found that there were two more demon masters stationed below.

The two earth demon masters seemed to have sensed it, and looking at him, Long Wenmu's natal demon technique was cast, turning into a piece of mist, and after condensing again, it was already in the city.

Even if he is a goblin master, he can't even think of gaining insight into his natal demon skills.

Bypassing the two earth demon masters, Long Wenmu hurriedly sneaked towards the city.

Just defending the city has this kind of battle, and the palace must be more heavily guarded.

On the way, he occasionally encountered patrolling guards, Long Wenmu chose to avoid them, and after exploring for a while, he finally saw the majestic palace in the center of the imperial city.

The Imperial Palace of the Izuyo Kingdom?

The palace towers into the sky like a giant in the night. Even at night, the lights in it are not extinguished, and the continuous lights are more gorgeous than the stars in the sky.

Long Wenmu walked around a few times and found that the palace was guarded all around.

After thinking for a moment, he quietly leaned towards a group of patrolling guards.

The guards walked methodically through the street, and someone in the rear suddenly turned his head.

"What's wrong?" asked the man next to him.

"Didn't Feng Lao San just now be behind me? Why didn't he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"Leave him alone, most of the time he ran to relieve himself. "Others don't care.

The team walked through the street, and in a dark corner, Long Wenmu was holding a panicked person in his hand, and a knife was in the man's mouth.

"If you dare to speak, I will kill you now. Long Wenmu lowered his voice and whispered.

The man nodded in a panic.

It wasn't until the patrol team was far away that Long Wenmu opened the boundary bead barrier and wrapped the two of them.

The Boundary Bead Barrier was controlled by him, turning into the same color as the surrounding environment, and ordinary people could not detect it even if they stood nearby. And there is a barrier to isolate him, so he doesn't have to worry about being heard by people outside.

Long Wenmu withdrew the knife, and the man threw it on the ground, and the shallow knife rested on the man's neck.

"You...... Who are you?" the man asked in a panic.

"I'll ask, you answer, say one more word, and I'll cut off one of your fingers. ”

That person was just a low-grade demon master, and he was threatened by Long Wenmu like this, nodding again and again, he could sense that Long Wenmu was not easy to mess with.

"Let me ask you, is Qian Lingxue in the palace?"

The man looked flustered.

"Thousand ...... Who is Qian Lingxue?"

Long Wenmu's shallow hidden knife slid slightly, and a small opening opened in the man's neck, and a trace of red flowed out.

"Wait...... Wait, don't kill me, I've got it, I've got it!" he screamed in a hoarse voice.

Say. Long Wenmu shouted.

"Qianlingxue, what did you mean by Qianlingxue...... Could it be the one from Yun Xuan Kingdom?"

"Tell me everything you know about her!"

The man trembled into chaff, felt the coldness on the shallow hidden knife, and trembled: "Four days...... Almost four days ago, the woman named Qian Lingxue was sent from Yunxuan Kingdom......"

"She's in the palace now?" Long Wenmu asked again.

"In ...... At. ”

Long Wenmu frowned slightly, Qian Lingxue had indeed been sent to the Chuyang Palace.

"Where is she in the palace?" asked Long Wenmu again.

The man wept and mourned: "I...... I don't know, I'm just an ordinary imperial city guard, and I don't know anything about the palace. ”

Long Wenmu forced him with a knife, but the man still didn't know.

Indeed, he was just an ordinary soldier, and he definitely didn't know much, but Long Wenmu didn't think what he said was false.

"Has Yanyang returned?" Long Wenmu asked again.

"This ...... No, he hasn't returned to the Imperial City yet. I've heard that His Majesty will return to the palace around tomorrow. ”

Hasn't Emperor Yanyang returned to the Imperial City yet?

If this is the case, Long Wenmu has a touch of anticipation.

Yan Yang went to Yunxuan Kingdom to take away a lot of Heavenly Demon Masters, since he didn't come back, that means that those Heavenly Demon Masters didn't return to the Imperial City either. If that's the case, wouldn't it be said that the Imperial City is now the weakest time to be guarded?

If that's the case, maybe I don't have to wait until the day of the festival, and maybe I will have a chance today.

Thinking about this, Long Wenmu took the knife and forced again: "How are the palace guards now? how many people are in charge of guarding, how to rotate, and how many high-end combat forces above the demon master level in the palace are there now?"

The man hesitated: "The patrol team changes every half an hour." There are many Heavenly Demon Masters and Earth Demon Masters in the Imperial Palace, and the others ...... I don't know anything else. ”

Regarding the caretaker of the palace, this person basically did not know any important news.

Long Wenmu asked again, but the person kept shaking his head, and Long Wenmu stopped asking.

There is only a limit to what can be asked from such a pawn.

Long Wenmu originally wanted to knock him out and take him away, but just when this thought ignited, he suddenly felt a warning in his heart, and in the afterglow, a cold light pierced his throat.
