Taiji Palace was empty.
All the officials were ordered not to come to the palace and could only retreat outside.
Only Lu Chen, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sat calmly on the dragon chair on the upper hand. His fingers were tapping on the armrest.
The gaze under the flat imperial hat was distant, as if he was thinking about something.
Even the old eunuch who had followed him all year round was chased out of the main hall.
"Sa-"
A figure wearing a purple-red python robe suddenly appeared in the hall. He cupped his fists and said,"Your Majesty, the superintendent is already prepared.”
Lu Chen nodded lightly and asked,""Wei Zhong, if you and Wei Xian join hands, can you deal with one of them?”
The Secret Azure Mirror was a peerless martial art passed down from Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty. Its power was unparalleled.
However, Wei Zhong and Wei Xian were only at Half-Zongshi realm.
As for the two swordsmen, they were not ordinary grandmasters. They were existences who had reached the peak of sword cultivation!
" Your Majesty, if their cultivation has already reached the late stage of Zongshi realm, we won't be able to win even if we join forces.
"But even if it's a late-stage Zongshi realm expert, we can still stall for time and wait for the superintendent to free up his hands.”
No matter how strong those two were.
As long as he wasn't a martial grandmaster, he definitely wouldn't be a match for the superintendent!
He said this firmly and confidently.
Because as the Deputy Supervisor of the East Chamber, he knew very well how terrifying his supervisor's strength was!
In a sense, he had even begun to surpass the grandmaster realm and reach another level!
" Your Majesty, don't worry." Wei Zhong sneered and said,""After today, there will be no more White Cloud City Lord and Sword God in this world.”
The trap had been set up, and they were just waiting for him to fall into the trap.
"Have you found the Grandmaster that Cao Zhengqin mentioned?" Lu Chen asked.”
Cao Zhengqin had sensed the presence of a Grandmaster in the Imperial City.
That was why Wei Zhong and Wei Xian were arranged to protect the emperor.
If a grandmaster were to attack without regard for the consequences, the original Xiantian experts around Lu Chen would not be able to stop him.
"Over a hundred scouts from the East Chamber have been searching the entire city these days. They have roughly figured out the location of that person.”
"The superintendent didn't ask us to alert the enemy, so we only left spies to keep an eye on them," Wei Zhong replied.”
The East Chamber had not been exposed to the public and had been acting secretly in order to catch them off guard on the night of the full moon.
If they were exposed, the City Lord and Sword God would be alerted, and the gains would not make up for the losses.
One had to know that once an expert of this level had a warning sign, he would not be able to stay if he wanted to escape.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said lightly,""After we deal with those two swordsmen, we'll deal with the Grandmaster in the city as well.”
For a Grandmaster to sneak into the capital of Great Wei, it was obvious that he did not have any good intentions.
Taking ten thousand steps back, he would have to clean up the martial world sooner or later. Now that he had the chance to take care of one of them first, it was naturally not a loss.
......
The moon rose and the sun set.
Countless martial artists who had rushed to the capital from all over Great Wei came out of the inns and taverns and gathered outside the Imperial Palace.
"Not here yet? Didn't you say it's a full moon night?"
"What are you in a hurry for? Experts are all arrogant. They will definitely come very late.”
"I heard that the White Cloud City Lord is only in his forties, but he has been invincible for twenty years. I'm afraid there's no suspense in today's battle, right?”
"I think so too. Moreover, it's said that the Sword God is mute."
" Heh, you guys don't know anything about the way of the sword at all. Do you know how valuable the title 'Sword God' is? It's earned through many sword discussions!”
Many black figures stood outside the palace, looking at the tallest building, Taiji Palace.
Tonight, two of the world's top swordsmen would be having a sword duel on the summit of the forbidden city!
Even the ordinary people in the capital who knew the inside story were paying close attention, let alone the people in the martial world.
Officials, dignitaries, commoners, martial artists of the pugilistic world, this sword duel had attracted countless gazes!
"Fairy Ning, I think it's better for us to stay far away.”
On a wall in the west of the Imperial Palace, two figures stood quietly. They were the blind man and the woman with the white veil.
The cloth-clothed blind man obviously wanted to leave the Imperial Palace.
After all, if anything happened, it would be easier to escape.
Ning Yuqing's eyes were clear as she emphasized,""You're the Sect Leader of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, a Grandmaster expert.”
A grandmaster didn't even dare to watch the battle?
" This old man only has an empty realm." The blind man smiled bitterly,""This old man has never fought with others in my life, nor have I cultivated martial arts. I only cultivate mental cultivation techniques.”
He had learned a variety of skills, most of which were strange and ingenious.
If he encountered a grandmaster of the same realm, he would not be able to beat them at all!
He could only bully those who were weaker than him.
However, he knew very well that there was definitely a Zongshi realm expert hidden in the palace!
Ning Yuqing frowned." I want to observe the sword and comprehend the " Cihang Sword Manual ". Naturally, I have to observe the sword intent and sword momentum of those two."”
For every generation of Saintesses, it would take ten years for them to start comprehending the Cihang Sword Manual. Only then would they be qualified to become the next Hierarch.
Now that there was a shortcut in front of her, how could she let it go so easily?
" Sigh." The cloth-clothed blind man sighed helplessly.
Although he was blind, his 'Heart's Eye' perception was not inferior to when his eyes were still there. Naturally, he could see the determination in Ning Yuqing's expression.
"Forget it. I owe your master a huge favor. This time, even if I have to risk my life, I will send you away safely.”
Ning Yuqing's lips moved slightly.”
Just as the two of them were talking, the group of Jianghu people outside the palace wall in the distance suddenly became excited.
"Look, look! He's here!"
"Oh my God, is this a grandmaster? He's no longer a mortal."
"A fairy-like figure."
The moonlight was like water, and the white-robed man was like a celestial being descending from the heavens, stepping on the moonlight.
