My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Meanwhile,

Martial Saint Fan Tianfa also hurried over, followed by two senior members of the Incense Fire Divine Sect.

"Boom! Boom!"

Chen Sansi simply used up all of the Abnormal Fire stored within the jade pendant in one go since there wasn't much left.

Another two fireballs.

They directly burned several people from Seeking Immortal Tower to death.

Only a few two or three managed to flee and their whereabouts became unknown.

"This..."

Cao Fan and the newly arrived Fan Tianfa and others were deeply shocked by the scene before them.

"Hero Zhang!"

"Truly an Immortal!"

Cao Fan was dumbfounded.

Even Fan Tianfa was quite wary, maintaining a distance of over a hundred steps, not daring to come close.

Chen Sansi calmly collected the fragments of the damaged jade pendant.

This thing...

truly isn't durable.

Moreover, the Abnormal Fire was quite fierce, and the jade pendant could hardly withstand it.

Just now, even if he had stopped, it was almost certain to be damaged.

Therefore,

Chen Sansi simply used it all up, which also served to deter the people from the Incense Fire Divine Sect from harboring any ill intentions. If it hadn't worked, he would have had to use up all the remaining Sword Qi Skill and then take the opportunity to escape.

But clearly, it was very effective.

After witnessing the Abnormal Fire, everyone's faces were filled with awe.

"Hero Chen will keep these items safe!"

Chen Sansi collected the books and jade token into his embrace and calmly said to the crowd, "Who agrees, who opposes?"

"No one opposes."

Fan Tianfa spoke, "Let Hero Zhang keep them for now, the urgent task at hand is to head inside the palace, the Holy Monk and his party should almost be there, we don't have time to waste anymore."

"Let's go quickly!"

A group of people, leading the followers of the Incense Fire Divine Sect, rushed in the direction of the Ziwei Palace.

Chen Sansi initially followed them, imperceptibly using the Concealing Breath and Hiding Skill, but when they were almost there, he suddenly took a turn and just disappeared.

What a joke.

All these people were waiting for daylight to kill "Chen Sansi."

Would Zhang Lai actually go and really help them out?

Moreover,

the reason he was so eager to leave the cave was because he had suddenly realized something.

Judging by the balance of tonight's victory, it was likely already tipping.

"Deng Feng!"

Chen Sansi rallied the Xuanjia Army that was still searching the mountain, "Order all brothers, follow me back to Ziwei Mountain!"

...

Ziwei Palace.

The Black-robed Monk and Ji side by side, strode towards the Taizhen Palace where the Emperor was resting, followed by several senior members of the Incense Fire Divine Sect and, secretly left behind and not departed, a hundred elite Hu Ben Army troops.

Along the way,

Any person daring to block their path was killed on the spot.

As they were about to reach their destination, they temporarily stopped.

Fan Tianfa and others arrived in time.

Then, it was everyone from the top to the bottom of the court, inside and out, involved in this action.

There were military officers, eunuchs, Hu Ben Army, Imperial Guards, and even some high-ranking civil officers...

These people, originally some were visible, some were hidden.

But at this critical moment today, they all emerged to make one desperate move, aiming to end everything completely.

"Why isn't Zhangsun Xusheng here?"

The black-robed monk fiddled with his Buddha beads, "The experts from the Jinyi Guard are also missing."

"Holy Monk."

Fan Tianfa said, "The Jinyi Guard is not responsible for guarding the palace. A significant number are still searching for Li Gong within the city. Based on the time, they should arrive within half an hour."

"Amitabha, then we must hurry."

"Wait!"

Cao Fan interrupted, "Where is Hero Zhang?"

"He was just here!"

Everyone turned their heads only to find that he had long disappeared.

"We've been tricked!"

Fan Tianfa was furious, "This man has taken the Grand Ancestor Relics, it seems he does not plan to help us!"

"Amitabha, let him be, we never truly counted on him."

The black-robed monk was unexpectedly calm, "This Zhang Lai Zi's strength is unfathomable. The fact he does not oppose us is already fortunate. As for the Grand Ancestor Relics, once everything is over, I will mobilize everyone in the Divine Sect to search for him. We will find them sooner or later. For now, let's focus on the matter at hand. Begin."

"Crack!"

Another two eunuchs tasked with night duty fell.

There was no further obstruction ahead.

The black-robed monk signaled for everyone to follow, his movements gentle, as he pushed open the mahogany door.

"Creak—"

Inside the palace.

Several lanterns burned throughout the night, filling the vast space with warm, sun-colored light, until the door opened and the night wind poured in, causing the light to flicker.

Inside the vast empty palace.

The Old Emperor, dressed in a Taoist robe, was seated cross-legged on a cushion meditating.

He did not react to the people slowly entering, as if entirely in another world, unaware of the external disturbances.

"Amitabha, this monk has seen Your Majesty!"

The black-robed monk brought his hands together in salute.

The rest followed suit and also performed the kneeling salute. Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire

"We pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"..."

Then.

The sleeping palace fell into a silence.

"Emperor Your Majesty."

The black-robed monk said, "This monk knows you can hear."

A profound and enduring voice echoed around the beams, resounding through the sleeping palace.

"Yesterday the flowers bloomed full on the trees, today they fall leaving the branches bare."

"Thriving in the splendor of three springs, swept away by a single night's wind."

"Beyond worldly time one finds peace, who in this human realm can exhaust birth and death?"

"The vicissitudes of a hundred years, large or small, pass by... as if in a dream!"

Once the poem was finished.

Emperor Longqing slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at the dense armors in front of him and the blood-stained weapons, unexpectedly his face was as calm as a still lake, and his voice as undisturbed as an ancient well, indistinguishable from any other day:

"My dear officials."

"Coming to see me so late at night, I wonder what matter brings you here?"
