Chapter 150: Hope And Despair.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
In the Long Life Temple.
The man with the blood mark stared at Emperor Li Sheng, who was hiding behind a dozen red-clothed Eunuchs. He shuddered.
He sneaked into the Imperial Palace, knowing that his biggest risk was that he might be discovered by the Legend here.
Hence, the man put on the Supreme Treasure ‘Breathing Liquid Jade Garment’ of the Blood Kill Gate headquarters, in order to prevent being discovered.
Breathing Liquid Jade Garment was left by their Legend 200 years ago. If one wears the Breathing Liquid Jade Garment, one can completely avoid a Legend’s detection.
So as long as the Legend in the Imperial Palace doesn’t take action, the assassination of Emperor Li Sheng should be a sure-fire thing.
“You knew that I was going to assassinate you?”
The man suddenly realized something and looked at Emperor Li Sheng.
This was the only possibility he could think of.
Emperor Li Sheng made these experts hide in the dark, so that if anything happened, they would take action.
“Not bad.”
Emperor Li Sheng slightly nodded.
In fact, since the assassination attempt on Emperor Li Sheng when he was still a Crown Prince, he had been extremely prepared for assassins.
His vigilance increased even more after learning that the Kings rebelled with the Blood Kill Gate.
After all, the most favorite thing that the Blood Kill Gate does was assassination.
Therefore, before the First Sons of the Kings entered the Palace, he asked all of the red-clothed Eunuchs to protect him from the dark. He also made a dozen Imperial Army Vice Commander guards wait outside. If there was any abnormality, they would lead the army to encircle the Long Life Temple.
The arrangement of Emperor Tang can be said to be seamless.
Even if the assassin is a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, with the protection of a dozen red-clothed Eunuchs, the assisation would be delayed, if not stopped, and give enough time for him to retreat.
And after his retreat, the assassin will be encircled and suppressed by the Army outside the temple.
“I originally thought that it would be a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster assassinating me, but you are not…”
Emperor Li Sheng shook his head.
“A Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster…”
The man had a stiff expression.
Even if it was the Blood Kill Gate, they only have four Peak Grade 1 in total, of which three died under the divine light, while the remaining one need to stay in the Blood Kill Gate headquarters.
They can’t dispatch any Peak Grade 1 at all.
“Would you obediently surrender yourself, or let my people do it?” Emperor Li Sheng asked as he looked at the man, whose expression was uncertain.
“Obediently surrender?”
The man stared straight at Emperor Li Sheng and squeezed a few words through his teeth: “For hundreds of years, I have never surrendered. Not a chance even with my dead body!”
The man then disappeared in place.
“Not good!”
When the dozen red-clothed Eunuchs saw this scene, their expressions changed. They kept the Emperor behind them, while their eyes kept surveying all around.
Suddenly, there was a dull sound of clashing outside the Long Life Temple.
“He escaped?”
The red-clothed Eunuchs looked at each other, but did not go out to support and just stayed where they were.
Their task was to ensure the Emperor’s safety. If they rushed out and got lured out of the mountain like a tiger, the Emperor would be exposed.
Moreover, there were more than a dozen Vice Commanders outside the Long Life Temple. Coupled with the guarding of the Army, the assassin will not last long even if they don’t help.
They only need to ensure the safety of the Emperor.
…
At this time.
Outside the Long Life Temple.
The man looked at the dozen or so Vice Commanders of the Imperial Army, who had surrounded him.
“Damn it!!!”
The man took a deep breath, feeling that this place might really be his final resting place.
“Die!”
He then saw a Vice Commander take a step and striked with his palm.
[Rumble~]
There was a faint sound of wind and thunder that came along this palm strike. It was obviously powerful.
[Whoosh~]!
The man’s figure turned into a shadow and barely avoided the palm strike.
At this time, the other Vice Commanders, who had been standing not far away, also took action.
“Pulverizing Fist.”
The Vice Commander at the late stages of Grade 1, the air was trembling under his punch.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”
“You’re the one who forced me to do this!”
When the man saw this, he knew that he could not escape.
So the next moment, the man’s forehead suddenly exploded with energy as wisps of bloody mist spread out.
The man’s strength skyrocketed, and he suddenly reached Peak Grade 1.
[Bang~]!
The Vice Commander’s figure was sent flying upside down.
Although the man repelled the Vice Commander, he did not take advantage of the situation to kill him. Instead, he coldly glanced at the other dozen Vice Commanders before his figure turned into a shadow and disappeared.
“He used a forbidden technique, he couldn’t run far!”
“Pass down the order, search the Palace, don’t leave a single corner unsearched.”
The Vice Commander who got hit, recovered quickly. He looked at his comrades and said in a deep voice.
…
At the same time.
Not far from the Long Life Temple, in an extremely obscure shadow.
The man stood there with a gloomy expression.
“I must leave the Imperial Palace as soon as possible.”
The man suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
To him, the Imperial Palace was like a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den. Once he was exposed, he would be besieged.
“The four gates are guarded by a large number of troops. In my current state, let alone leave, even if I just get close, I will be found.”
The man’s thoughts constantly spun, thinking of ways on how to survive.
“Wait… the Legend!”
The man panicked.
He had made such a big disturbance, even if he has the Breathing Liquid Jade Garment, it is impossible to hide from the Legend now.
But strangely enough, the Legend hasn’t taken any action. The man guessed that the other party might have left and was not in the Imperial Palace at the moment?
Thinking of this, the man relaxed slightly.
“Now, I need to find an area that is not easy to find.” He would then heal his injuries, wait until the Imperial Palace relaxed a bit, then escape.
Although the man badly wanted to leave the Imperial Palace, he knew that he couldn’t in this short time.
“Where should I recuperate?”
The man looked around, and finally stopped in the direction of the East Palace.
“At present, the Tang Empire has not yet established a Crown Prince so the East Palace is the most deserted.”
The man thought of this, and his figure turned into a shadow, moving towards the East Palace.
“As long as I get to the East Palace, I have great hopes to live.”
The man had a strong desire in his heart and he accelerated.
“According to the intelligence report, although the East Palace is deserted, a person named Su Qin is living there, the Third Brother of the current Empress.”
“If I can control this Su Qin, maybe I can sneak close to Emperor Li Sheng again and assassinate him.”
The more the man thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
He discovered that the Eastern Palace was a treasure to him.
It’s not that the man has never thought about controlling the Empress or Prince, but with the character of Emperor Li Sheng, I am afraid that these people have been strictly protected already.
Soon, the man came to the Right Spring Square in the East Palace.
“This is where Su Qin lives?”
The man glanced around roughly and stepped inside without the slightest hesitation.
However, when the man entered the Right Spring Square, he felt massive changes in the Heavens and Earth.
“This is?”
The man looked dazed.
Before the man could even react.
The Heavens and Earth changed again.
The man then came into a room.
“Huh?”
“Was that an illusion?”
The man blinked and wanted to relax, but he saw a man sitting cross-legged not far away.
