Chapter 104: Nine Yin Power.
When Su Qin and the others returned to the East Palace, they discovered that the number of troops in the East Palace was several times greater than before.
Obviously, the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince made Emperor Tang realize that even in the Imperial Palace, it was not absolutely safe.
Apart from this, Su Qin also noticed that all those who had experienced the assassination attempt, including the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince’s confidant, were temporarily unable to leave the palace.
The reason given by the Army, was that the palace was currently undergoing a strict investigation. And at this time, they may encounter an assassin.
But Su Qin clearly saw the problem.
This time, the assassins were all from the Southern Ming Envoys. Logically speaking, the assassins have already been found, and there was no need to investigate the palace.
Because the assassination attempt originated from the Southern Ming Empire, it had nothing to do with the palace at all.
But Emperor Tang still issued such a decree. The only possibility was that he did not want to let the assassins on the outside know what had happened and so that he could apprehend them as well.
“It seems that the old fox, Emperor Tang is plotting something again…”
But although Su Qin was aware of these things, he lacked interest in it.
For Su Qin, you can plot all you want but in the face of absolute strength, you are as fragile as paper, unable to withstand a single blow.
Instead of focusing on this, it is better to improve your strength.
As for the presence of a large number of troops in the East Palace, everyone was prohibited from entering and exiting…
Maybe this was useful for controlling others, but how could it stop Su Qin?
…
An hour later.
Su Qin’s figure flashed, easily bypassing the guards and quietly leaving the East Palace.
“Let’s Sign In at the Primal Chaos Palace today.”
Su Qin thought and he appeared in front of the Primal Chaos Palace.
The Primal Chaos Palace was the place where the civil and military affairs of the Tang Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty were being discussed in the early period of both dynasties. Logically speaking, it should have a high amount of Dao Accumulation.
“System, Sign In.”
Su Qin looked up at the towering Primal Chaos Palace, and muttered in his heart.
[Congratulations!]
[Signed In successfully!]
[Obtained the Nine Yin Daoist Scripture!]
“[Nine Yin Daoist Scripture]?”
A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.
[Nine Yin Daoist Scripture] is said to be created by someone in the Imperial Palace long ago and it claims to be able to condense nine Yin Power. Power-wise, the [Nine Yin Daoist Scripture] completely surpasses the [Lunar Body Refining Technique].
The [Lunar Body Refining Technique] can only condense the Power of the Moon, and its limit is only one Yin Power.
Meanwhile, the [Nine Yin Daoist Scripture] can condense nine.
The gap is pretty obvious.
“Not bad.”
“If I can obtain another, I can always just switch…”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
He guessed that the [Nine Yin Daoist Scripture] and the [Nine Yang Divine Art] are the most suitable for him, but it does not mean that Su Qin has only the [Nine Yin Daoist Scripture] as his main choice, as he can always Sign In to get a better one.
While Su Qin was thinking, information about the [Nine Yin Daoist Scripture] flooded into his mind.
After a while, Su Qin opened his eyes and he felt satisfied.
“I should start cultivating the [Nine Yin Daoist Scripture] when I get back, then temper my Body with it and the [Nine Yang Divine Art]. Let’s see if my Body could be transformed for the fourth time.”
Su Qin thought silently.
From Grade 9 to Arhat, Su Qin’s Body has been transformed a total of three times.
The first time was with the [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] and the [Lunar Body Refining Technique], which raised his Body to the level of Grade 1 Great Grandmaster.
The second time was in the Back Mountain Forbidden Area of the Shaolin Temple, using the strength of the Seal left by Arhat Pao.
The third time was when Su Qin broke through to the Arhat realm. At the final leap, his Body, Divine Sense, and Internal Strength all improved together.
Ever since this Third Transformation, even though Su Qin stepped into the 3rd Heavenly Layer and his strength has skyrocketed, his Body still didn’t transform.
But now, Su Qin can use both the [Nine Yang Divine Art] and the [Nine Yin Daoist Scripture] together, to see if it can transform his Body as it did when he was in Grade 9.
When Su Qin was about to return to the East Palace, he suddenly looked at a certain position in the Imperial Palace.
“Six Grade 1 Great Grandmasters have left the Imperial Palace?”
Su Qin touched his chin.
When these six Grade 1 Great Grandmasters had left the Imperial Palace, they tried their best to restrain their auras, but how could they hide from Su Qin?
“Interesting.”
“Is Emperor Tang about to take action?”
Su Qin guessed.
In the entire Imperial Palace, only Emperor Tang can command six Grade 1 Great Grandmasters at the same time.
Currently, the entire Imperial Palace is tightly sealed. Outsiders cannot enter and those inside cannot leave. Since these six Grade 1 Great Grandmasters were leaving at this time, there was no other possibility except that they were ordered by Emperor Tang.
…
…
At the same time.
In a mansion in Chang’an City.
The white robed man looked up at the sky, his brows tightly knitted.
As a Town Ambassador of the Bright Gown Guard, the white robed man ranks high in power. If it wasn’t for the Ming Emperor’s major plan this time, he wouldn’t come to Chang’an City in person.
After all, Chang’an City is the capital of the Tang Empire. Even if the white robed man is confident, he is not 100% sure that he will be able to retreat.
But white robed man has no choice.
The Ming Emperor ordered him, so he has to. Even if he dies, he has to die in Chang’an.
“Time should be almost up.”
“Why hasn’t news come back yet?”
The white robed man felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, the wealthy businessman ran in and said respectfully: “Greetings Town Ambassador.”
“What the hell is going on?”
The white robed man looked at the wealthy businessman, he frowned: “Have you started the mission in the Imperial Palace?”
“Sir.”
“I don’t know.”
“I haven’t received any news…”
The businessman was also very confused.
“No news?”
The white robed man’s brows tightly frowned: “Did the Crown Prince leave the Black Tortoise Gate?”
The businessman immediately replied: “No.”
The white robed man’s expression changed slightly.
“They should be…”
“According to previous information, at this time of the year, the Crown Prince will accompany his wife back to the Su Residence…”
The white robed man muttered to himself.
“Maybe they got delayed?”
The businessman speculated.
“That’s not right.”
The more the white robed man thought about it, the more things seemed wrong.
There was no delay in previous years, so why was it delayed this year?
“If the assassination plan had really started, it would be impossible for the palace to be calm and tranquil, unless someone deliberately concealed the news and delayed it…”
Then, the white robed man suddenly turned pale.
“Not good.”
“We have been compromised!”
The white robed man immediately got up and prepared to leave from Chang’an.
However, the white robed man hadn’t gone far yet when he felt six terrifying auras emerge, shrouding him from all directions and sealing all corners of this mansion.
“I was wondering who it was…”
“It turned out to be a dog from the Bright Gown Guard…”
A gentle-faced eunuch wearing a red eunuch’s uniform walked in slowly.
