C712 Dispatching the Three Sections of the Guard
Qin Lu's discovery had helped Zhang Haorann a lot!
"Qin Lu, how should I thank you for helping me this time?" Along the way, Zhang Haorann and Qin Lu were standing on the same sword. Both of them were protecting their bodies from the strong wind, one on the left and one on the right.
"You have contributed so much to the sect, and also saved our Qin Family and safety. This is what I owe you." Qin Lu said.
When he first went to Guanhee Village, it was Qin Lu who made him link up with Qingyu Sect.
Now, Qin Lu had helped him once again.
If not for Qin Lu, Zhang Haorann would have directly declared war on the Kunlun Sect. If he could beat him, he would have run away. Zhang Haorann believed that the existence of Full Moon Brevifolia King Centipede should have been mentioned in the records of Kunlun Sect.
"Qin Lu, let's go to Buddhist Light Temple and try our best not to alert the enemy. It would be best if we can find the Full Moon Brevifolia King Centipede." Zhang Haorann instructed, "The royal family has a way to get my position, but there's a two hour delay, so we have to hurry."
Qin Lu nodded. She remembered Zhang Haorann's words in her heart. Others might not know Zhang Haorann's plan, but even the royal family wouldn't have guessed that Zhang Haorann would go to the Buddhist Light Temple.
The longsword tore through the air and the two of them moved as though they were flying, instantly disappearing from the sky above the Lin Prefecture.
It was getting closer and closer to the Lu Prefecture!
Zhang Haorann's actions, were equivalent to spanning half of the Nebula Continent. In order to obtain the Full Moon Brevifolia King Centipede, he did not have any rest, and flew with all his strength towards the Buddhist Light Temple.
Zhong Prefecture.
Imperial family.
The atmosphere was heavy, and the Emperor's might was overwhelming.
Inside the Golden Jade Temple where the Emperor was located, thirty people were gathered, surrounded by ministers.
He was sitting on the Dragon Throne, the Dragon Throne's entire body was made of black gold, refined by a rare Heaven Level Cauldron. This Dragon Throne had existed since the birth of the Imperial Family, symbolizing the unparalleled honor and dignity of the Emperor.
Yinn Shaan's eyes shot out a sharp ray of light as he looked at the ministers standing at the side of the hall. The ministers shrunk their heads, not daring to make a sound. Yinn Shaan's gaze then fell on the black shadow beside him.
To be exact, the black shadow had no body, and was formed from the black mist.
"State Grandmaster, what do you think about the matter of Zhangtai County?"
The black shadow beside Yinn Shaan was none other than Imperial Advisor Xiu Yu.
"Emperor, let the ministers speak." Xiu Yu smiled faintly, "You called them over but didn't talk to them. If we wait any longer, some people might faint from fright."
"That's good too, many of these ministers are just ordinary people, they aren't even Half Immortals." Yinn Shaan nodded and looked at one of the ministers, "Han Hee, you tell me."
Han Hee walked out and kowtowed to Yinn Shaan, saying respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am very sorry about what happened at Zhangtai County. Second Prince and Master Zhang were about to explode, I was powerless to stop them."
If Second Prince died, then Magical Formation, Pill Department, and Spell Faction would all die in battle. This meant that the so-called Imperial Family Hundred Divisions, the strength needed to last until the end to uphold the honor of the 100 divisions, would also completely disappear from the Zhangtai County.
Wu Tie said: "Han Hee, you are a duke of Zhangtai County. If you don't persuade him otherwise, he will have to pay with his life. As a duke, you have to take responsibility."
Han Hee lowered his head and smiled bitterly. The Emperor's reaction was very calm, but how could he not know what he was thinking?
Second Prince was the successor of the emperor. If his successor died, what would the emperor think? I'm afraid the secrets of Master Zhang and the East China Sea are no longer important to the Emperor.
"Your majesty, I'm willing to accept your punishment." Han Hee said.
Among the ministers, the Sect Leader of Genuine Martial Sect, Han Xiao was present as well. He looked at Han Hee with eyes full of disdain, "If you meet Zhang Haorann, you deserve your bad luck."
Yinn Shaan nodded and said, "Tomorrow, we will give the result of Han Hee's punishment." However, Master Zhang is the identity of Zhang Haorann, I wonder how the various officials feel, does anyone know, how Zhang Haorann broke through the Emperor Magical Formation and arrived at Ancient Pleasure Star? Who knows what his current goal is? "
The ministers whispered to each other. They were either mortals or half-Immortals that were more powerful than mortals, so how could they understand Master Zhang, who was at the Enlightened True Immortal level? However, in order to deal with the emperor, the ministers pretended to ponder over it, and after a while, no one replied to the emperor.
Yinn Shaan snorted.
At this moment, Xiu Yu opened his mouth, "Emperor, letting the ministers discuss the matter of the court is a good idea. They are not on the same level as Master Zhang, making it difficult for them to guess Master Zhang's thoughts."
Yinn Han asked, "Imperial Advisors always have a divine foresight. I wonder what Master Zhang will do next."
The moment those words came out, the atmosphere in the palace became even more tense.
The ministers knew clearly in their hearts that right now, only the Forbidden Guard Department was protecting the royal family, and the Kunlun Sect was not able to deal with Zhang Haorann. Because the Kunlun Sect still needed to gather the power to eliminate the King Magical Formation, this was a long process, so Zhang Haorann's every move now was affecting the royal family's heart.
Wu Tie said, "Isn't there someone in Forbidden Guard Department who can monitor Master Zhang's movements? Can't they be vigilant and gather traces of Master Zhang's movements?"
However, Yinn Shaan shook his head and said with a complicated tone: "Forbidden Guard Department's monitoring is two hours slower. With Master Zhang's speed, by the time the Imperial Family realized it, he would have ran off somewhere long ago."
Just as he finished speaking, someone came over to report.
"Your Majesty, Forbidden Guard Department has detected Master Zhang's whereabouts. He appeared in Lin Prefecture two hours ago."
The crowd burst into an uproar.
Zhang Haorann had left the Eastern Ocean and arrived at Nebula Continent!
He went to the Lin Prefecture?
To do what?
For what purpose?
The ministers were all nervous, thinking that this Master Zhang was no longer involved in any trouble, causing the emperor to feel uneasy. In the end, it was still the ministers who were under pressure.
"State Grandmaster, Master Zhang has gone to the Lin Prefecture!" It was rare for Yinn Han to sound so nervous. He already had a shadow in his heart towards Zhang Haorann.
Xiu Yu did not say anything, and appeared to be thinking, then slowly said: "The Emperor wants to send a portion of his Forbidden Guard Department to take a look at the Lin Prefecture?"
"I have that thought." Yinn Shaan was straight to the point.
Sun Tie said, "How about this, I will bring Zhangtai County King Han Hee with me. I am also regretful about what happened at Zhangtai County, but that is not Han Hee's fault, Second Prince was impulsive. This time going to Lin Prefecture, if Han Hee can witness Forbidden Guard Department catching Master Zhang, it will also be a form of salvation for himself. "
Only Xiu Yu could directly say the prince was not good in front of Yinn Shaan. The ministers did not have the guts to do so, even though this was the truth.
"Sure." When Second Prince was mentioned, Yinn Han's calm expression stirred up a slight wave. He thought highly of Yinn Qiu, which was why he allowed Yinn Qiu to become the next Emperor.
The First Prince had gone into seclusion, wholeheartedly cultivating as an Immortal. He had no interest whatsoever in the affairs of the imperial court.
Second Prince and Yinn Qiu were geniuses with potential that did not lose to the First Prince. However, they were very interested in the affairs of the imperial court.
Third Prince Yin Zhen, on the other hand, had ordinary potential. He lowered himself to pursue the Qin Family's daughter Qin Lu, but Qin Lu didn't manage to catch up with him. Yet, Yin Zhen himself was killed by Zhang Haorann in a single slash of his Qipan Mountain, and had to pay the price with his life.
As for the Sixth Prince, Yinn Han, he died a humiliating death in the Pole Heaven Sect.
Yinn Han had no other choice, the other princes were unreliable.
"State Grandmaster, in that case, let you lead the Forbidden Guard Department forward." Yinn Shaan said, "Ice Silkworm Division, Pure Yang Division, quickly come to the palace."
The Forbidden Guard Department was divided into ten divisions, and each division had ten people, for a total of one hundred people. According to the ranking, the Iceworm Division and Pure Yang Division were respectively the tenth division and the ninth division.
One of them was Director of the Iceworm Division, who was in charge of a group of True Immortals. He had nine of his subordinates: two True Immortals of the Eight Paths, three True Immortals Seven Grottoes True Immortal, and four True Immortals of the Six Paths.
Pure Yang Division ranked ninth, there were ten of them, Director, Hsiao Wuqing, Second Formation True Immortal.
Among Hsiao Wuqing's men, there was Second Formation True Immortal and a bunch of True Immortals. The remaining seven were Seven Grottoes True Immortal and the Eight Paths True Immortals.
Emperor Yinn Shaan immediately ordered the tenth and ninth divisions of the Forbidden Guard Department to assist Xiu Yu in heading to the Lin Prefecture to investigate Zhang Haorann's whereabouts. In the past, the Imperial Family wouldn't do this, but he had no other choice.
However, Xiu Yu said: "Emperor, Master Zhang has displayed superhuman talent in the Zhangtai County. With the cultivation of a True Immortal, he is able to fight against the experts of Pill Department and Magical Formation. I think that the Icy Silkworm Division and Pure Yang Division might not be Master Zhang's match.
Yinn Shaan looked troubled.
Dispatching Forbidden Guard Department was a very special affair. Every time there was a small division missing, the power protecting the Imperial Family would be weakened.
"Alright, I agree." Yinn Shaan said seriously, "Then send out another Mysterious Heaven Division! Xuantian Division's Director is a True Immortal in the third matrix. If Master Zhang is discovered, he will definitely be unable to escape this calamity. "
Xiu Yu nodded and smiled.
Han Hee, who was below, was confused. He didn't understand why Xiu Yu insisted on bringing him along.
Very quickly, the experts of the Icy Silkworm Division, Pure Yang Division Division, and Mysterious Sky Division arrived at the imperial palace to pay their respects to the Emperor.
"Icy Silkworm Division, Director, Chang Mo. Cultivation base, True Immortal."
"Pure Yang Division, Director, Hsiao Wuqing. Cultivation, Second Formation True Immortal."
"Mysterious Sky Division, Director, Zhen Wuh. Cultivation base, three formations, True Immortal."
The emperor introduced each and every one of the officials to Yinn Shaan. Normally, it was rare to see strong people with Forbidden Guard Department, but today, they all opened their eyes wide, not letting a single one of them off as they firmly memorized their appearances.
Actually, to the ministers, it was also the first time that the State Advisor Xiu Yu appeared in front of them. Xiu Yu would often appear in secret places that they did not know about.
All of this was because of Zhang Haorann and the Dao Gate. They had eliminated the Imperial Family Hundred Divisions and severely injured the prestige of the Imperial Family.
"Chang Mo, Hsiao Wuqing, Zhen Wuh, the three of you will lead the team and follow Imperial Advisor Zhou Tie to Lin Prefecture. As long as you discover Master Zhang's whereabouts, immediately capture him. If he escapes, then kill him!"
Yinn Shaan said in a deep voice.
"Master Zhang is now a batch of true Immortals. Just like what State Grandmaster said, the probability of Master Zhang being captured by the Ice Silkworm Division and Pure Yang Division is not high. However, with the Heavenly Mystery Division, Master Zhang has no chance of escaping."
The three of them exchanged glances and nodded silently.
They were not Imperial Family Hundred Divisions, and there was no need to have any Pill Department, Magical Formation s, or Spell Faction methods, because regardless of whether it was Medicine Pill s, arrays, or spells, they were all top-notch experts!
But he had to do it alone!
Able to attack en masse!
The reason Forbidden Guard Department had always existed for so many years was because they were capable of doing anything.
However …
Chang Mo glanced at Xiu Yu.
"Your majesty, the ministers have never seen this teacher before. However, we have heard of his name quite a few times on our Forbidden Guard Department. This person has been here for quite some time. I wonder why your majesty trusts him so much."
Chang Mo's tone was full of suspicion towards Xiu Yu.
The emperor Yinn Shaan said:
"The Imperial Advisor is very important to the Imperial Family, because he knows everything."
"The 'One Blood Tracking Array' that Forbidden Guard Department is used to monitor Master Zhang's movements is contributed by the State Grandmaster. Otherwise, how would we know any clues about Master Zhang? From now on, all of you have to show some respect to the State Grandmaster."
