The terrain of Xuanwu Gate is actually quite unique.
It is the northernmost point of the imperial palace and, by extension, Changan City, and the northern side of Changan abuts a valley, where the terrain rises sharply at Xuanwu Gate.
If one were to occupy it, they could launch deadly charges or construct siege works from a position of altitude to hurl boulders directly into the imperial palace.
Therefore, in the era of cold weapons, Xuanwu Gate was the greatest vulnerability of the imperial palace.
When Li Shimin initiated the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he most likely bore this in mind.
Naturally, precisely because of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, this area is one that officials and generals of Great Tang would usually avoid at all costs.
Even in today’s Great Tang, the generals stationed here are almost always the emperor’s most trusted confidants!
Today, the general of Great Tang guarding the Xuanwu Gate is none other than Xue Rengui, a famous historical general and now one of the Great Tang players.
This is typically a tedious job, after all, this world is at the very core of Great Tang. All passages leading here from the void are under Great Tang’s control. Foes from outside would only have a chance to invade this place if the legions ahead and the demigods of Great Tang were all dead.
In the physical world, in the space of this world, there is also a considerable number of Great Tang fleets and demigods stationed.
However, today, Xue Rengui watched as a teor suddenly appeared out of thin air, falling from the sky and directly smashing into Xuanwu Gate of the Great Tang imperial palace.
The formidable Defensive Array within the Great Tang imperial palace was also penetrated by a single strike.
It was an array strong enough to defend against a demigod’s strike!
The attacker was, at the very least, a demigod!
How did they bypass layer upon layer of defenses and alerts to directly appear in the core world of Great Tang?
Could it be an internal enemy making their move? Aiming for a regicidal plot while Khan is leading the main force on the frontline?
The left and right Jinwu Guard battle groups guarding inside the palace were both shocked and enraged.
And Xue Rengui, defending the Xuanwu Gate, reacted instantly.
"All forces form up, defend this place to the death! Hold on until the demigods arrive!"
He bellowed as he leaped from the walls of Xuanwu Gate, and his hand-held spear was infused with a vast amount of Divinity, transforming into a gigantic crimson spear tens of ters long.
He hurled it with all his might at the area enveloped in dust and smoke where the teor had fallen!
However, the next second, his spear was swatted away.
At the sa ti, from within the dust and smoke, soone roared angrily, "Who set up this anti-fly Array? Showing no public spirit at all, huh? Ah?"
That teor... was naturally Li Changhe himself.
Indeed, even after becoming a demigod and even an Evil God of Chaos, he still could not fly. He still required the Nine Heavens Dragon Horse or Lightning Spear for aerial leaps.
Moreover, his attempts to learn the art of flying from the immortals had ended in failure.
This puzzled the immortals, prompting a myriad of studies.
According to their analysis, this could be related to Li Changhe’s own Riding ability. Maybe... this was the price to pay?
In any case, the presence of the Sealing Array ant that the levitation ability he used in the ’passage’ was rendered utterly useless, causing him to ’drop’ to the other end of the ’passage’, right above the Great Tang imperial palace, and directly smash into Xuanwu Gate from above.
He thus achieved the second invasion of Xuanwu Gate, a feat worthy of the Tian Ce General.
After casually deflecting an incoming spear, Li Changhe then observed the situation before him. He also realized that he had unexpectedly appeared in the ho world of Great Tang, and even within the Great Tang imperial palace.
And hundreds of armored Great Tang soldiers, as well as even more Auxiliary Army mbers, rapidly converged towards him. Countless gun barrels and artillery were aid at him.
A general in splendid armor even produced a battle flag and thrust it into the ground.
A golden barrier sealed off not only the entire Xuanwu Gate but also the surrounding area.
Clearly, he planned to trap the unknown enemy here.
But Li Changhe felt an awkward yet sowhat familiar presence in this world.
Ah, the aura of Chaos... As an Evil God of Chaos, Li Changhe naturally felt a certain kinship.
Is it that the forces of Chaos from back then weren’t completely eradicated? Or has Chaos seeped into the Great Tang again?
At this mont, Xue Rengui roared, "Traitor, prepare to die!"
"Hold on, this is all a misunderstanding, I am Li Ba, your general."
The soldiers of the Great Tang naturally didn’t believe him, as General Li Ba had beco a Demigod and was unable to co to the Great Tang through the Evolution Ga. Moreover, he was in the extrely distant void.
You say it and it’s supposed to be true?
Then, they saw a spatial fluctuation flash around Li Changhe, as the Mountain Pattern Armor and cyan flas appeared.
At the sa ti, Soldier Karma perated the inside of the Array.
Xue Rengui was stunned, and the expressions of the two battle group leaders beside him also changed.
Because they indeed heard the voice of the first Sequence Permissions in their helts. The first Sequence of the Great Tang, Tian Ce General, Li Ba.
At the sa ti, Xue Rengui also received a ssage in his [Friends] list; another Great Tang player had conveyed an imperial edict to seal all news.
’The return of General Li Ba must not be known to the outside world. His Majesty orders you to spare no expense.’
His Majesty has confird that this person is General Li Ba? Really the Chaotic Evil God?
He... he’s really sticking to the traditions, I’m crying!
As the Chaotic Evil God, if he wanted to harm the Great Tang, he could have just forced his way in. But he chose to co to the Xuanwu Gate as the Tian Ce General, he really follows the traditions!
For a mont, a flood of information passed through Xue Rengui’s brain. Yet he imdiately stopped his movents.
Then, he walked alone to Li Changhe and knelt on one knee: "Welco back, General Li Ba."
"Eh, this is Xuanwu Gate?" Li Changhe smacked his lips: "Your emperor hasn’t misunderstood sothing, has he?"
"No, His Majesty has just issued a secret order to conceal your arrival. Also, General, please refrain from using any Authority after leaving the Sealing Array. There are so internal issues in the Great Tang right now, and your arrival could be a turning point. The enemy lurking in the shadows must not learn of your arrival."
The current emperor of the Great Tang is Li Zhi.
Despite the chaos of war, he remains the emperor of the Great Tang.
And the Taishang Huang, or rather, Khan Li Er, is battling abroad.
Emperor Li Zhi of the Great Tang is in charge of guarding and managing the operations of the entire world of the Great Tang.
Now, this emperor has received definite news of Li Changhe’s arrival from the Great Tang player Xia Yun and imdiately initiated an information lockdown.
As for the purpose, Li Changhe was sowhat clear.
This intense aura of Chaos is the best proof!
"But I’ve already used my Authority just now," Li Changhe responded. "If nothing goes wrong, the entire Great Tang should know of my arrival."
"Fortunately, the Array just now could isolate extraordinary fate, so the outside world is still unaware. Currently, only we know of your arrival."
"This Array is quite interesting, it even specifically blocks extraordinary fate. You must have used it often to deal with your own people, right?" Li Changhe joked. In the battle against Chaos, it’s unpredictable whether so Great Tang generals would be corrupted, and this Sealing Array specially blocked fate, essentially locking away the sealed Authority.
After a light cough, Xue Rengui spoke in a low voice, "And now we will completely seal the Array, allowing no entry or exit, ensuring no information gets out!"
It seems that there really is an internal issue. Even the armored warriors present no longer trust each other.
Li Changhe thought for a mont and responded, "Alright, but don’t do anything rash like killing to silence people."
Xue Rengui paused and silently nodded in agreent.
