Li Xuan had just leaped into mid-air when a yell ca from within the city walls, "Forbidden City is a restricted zone, who dares to be reckless?"
"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace?"
"Where did this thief co from, daring to act recklessly in front of Hongwu Gate?"
"Liudao Division is on duty!" As Li Xuan spoke, he summoned the talisman paper given to him by Fumo Zongguan to his side. Afraid that the people on the city wall wouldn’t see clearly, he activated it with mana, causing the words on the talisman paper to glow brightly.
"I’ve been commanded to investigate a case within the palace city, the situation is urgent——"
But before he finished speaking, dozens of crossbow arrows rained down from the city walls like a violent storm. Li Xuan’s face turned cold, and he imdiately drew his blade in mid-air, using the ’Rise to the Sky’ technique to Skydive about ninety feet, cleverly avoiding the flash of teor-like arrows.
The Forbidden Army soldiers on the city walls remained relentless, and more than twenty of their crossbows continued to aim at Li Xuan.
However, Li Xuan’s ’Fumo Vajra’ was following him closely. It carried a colossal fumo shield, bravely withstanding the swarm of arrows and jumped onto the city wall. Its enormous body, like a fallen teor, slamd directly onto the city wall, creating a deep pit. The powerful Gang Qi exploded, overturning all the royal camp soldiers in the vicinity.
At this point, Luo Yan and others also arrived, relying on the cover of the ’Fumo Vajra,’ they began to land on the city wall.
But at the sa ti, soone on the city wall was yelling urgently.
"Quick, ring the alarm drum, there are thieves attacking the city!"
"Liudao division has a traitor!"
"Quick, help! The thieves have got onto the wall of Hongwu Gate."
anwhile, the sound of urgent drums was spreading in all directions, and a large number of palace Forbidden Army Soldiers sward out from all sides.
"These Forbidden Army Soldiers seem strange."
As Li Xuan descended from the sky, Zhang Yue whispered in his ear: "They can’t possibly fail to recognize our Liudao Division’s talisman paper."
Peng Fulai spoke in a frosty tone: "Not everyone has a problem. I saw that only a small part started shooting at you just now. They are deliberately confusing things."
"I understand." After landing, Li Xuan kept moving forward like a wild goose, squinting his eyes, "Youjiao Luo, please help !"
The next mont, he released powerful Hao Qi and let out a thunderous roar: "I, Li Xuan, today follow the command of the Zhuque Hall supervisor to investigate the treason case of Jianling in the palace! Everyone in the palace is not allowed to act rashly! Otherwise, you’ll be regarded as Jianling’s accomplice, and treated as a traitor!"
His roar was so loud that everyone within three miles heard it causing their eardrums to vibrate. Almost all the royal camp soldiers who heard Li Xuan’s words showed a bewildered look, not knowing what to do.
The na of Li Xuan, the ’Tiger of Jinling’, who cracked many major cases and severely wounded Li Zhetian, had echoed throughout Nanjing, and these royal camp soldiers had all heard of him to so extent.
They knew that he was not only a Hufa of Neo-Confucianism with pure and great Hao Qi, but also a gentleman and pillar of the orthodox path in Nanjing, who was recognized by everyone.
The prestige of the Liudao Division was deeply ingrained in people’s hearts. After the royal family moved to the north, they indeed had the right to enter the Forbidden City to investigate cases and kill evil demons.
At this ti, Luo Yan’s eyes showed a touch of purple. This startled Xuanchenzi next to him. He felt a heart-stirring power emanating from Luo Yan’s eyes.
This was a powerful illusion technique used to soothe people’s hearts. It made Xuanchenzi’s mind waver and made most of the Forbidden Army soldiers who ca rushing over let go of their weapons and began to comply with Li Xuan’s words standing still and not moving anymore.
This eased the tension of the 200 elite mbers of the Liudao Division who entered the city. Their pace of advancent also suddenly accelerated.
Occasionally, soone would approach them and try to intercept them, but they were unceremonious and suppressed them instantly. Either they were injured or killed, at this mont, no one had ti to capture them.
Those who dared to act after Li Xuan’s thunderous announcent were undoubtedly the remnants of Jianling’s party. Even if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be wronged if they died by their hands.
After the Hongwu Gate is the outer Wulong Bridge and Chengtian Gate, followed by the Sheji Altar and the Grand Temple.
When Li Xuan stepped on the inner Wulong Bridge, he frowned. He still couldn’t sense the exact location of the Evil Corpse. The palace was very clean, and there was not even a trace of evil aura.
But that was also normal. If there was an evil aura, the people in the palace would have noticed.
"It should be in the East Palace!" Xue Yunrou, holding a compass in her hand, suddenly said, "This direction, the reaction of the dragon vein is a bit abnormal. The ’Qi’ there seems to be blocked."
The East Palace?
Li Xuan was slightly stunned, thinking, why would it be in the East Palace?
Mr. Fulong, a heavenly level cultivator, the second Prince Yu Jianji, as well as the many court ministers, nobles, and military generals who go in and out of there, are they all clueless?
But Li Xuan still didn’t hesitate and rushed towards Chunhe Hall, the so-called ’East Palace’ of the Jin Dynasty.
After the second prince moved south, this was the only palace in the Nanjing Forbidden City that had been renovated.
And when Li Xuan led the others, leaping onto the city wall of the Fengtian Gate, he saw a group of people dressed as Forbidden Army generals wearing green cloaks in front of him. These were the Fanyi of Inner Chang.
Among them were higher-ranking officers, yet the one leading them was Qin Renfeng, whom Li Xuan had interacted with before. He was the nephew of Qin Mingyu, the chief of the inner Jishi Bureau. He bowed to Li Xuan, "Sorry, Brother Li! It’s our duty. Behind this Fengtian Gate is the inner palace. Even if you Liudao Division is on duty, you still need to follow so procedures——"
