Chapter 120: The Night of the Full Moon.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
In the Primal Chaos Palace, the Officials were silent.
A Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster is certainly someone who awes the world and the Baiyun City Lord, Ye Gucheng, is definitely one of the most powerful.
That’s because Ye Gucheng can use Sword Intent.
Sword Intent is known as the Number One in sharpness. With his Sword Intent, Ye Gucheng is probably close to a Grade 1 Great Perfection of Third Transformation.
The Officials never dreamed that this time, the Tang Empire would be dealing with Ye Gucheng.
If Ye Gucheng wants other things, even if it’s million taels of gold or a position of a Prince, it is not impossible to negotiate it.
But borrowing the Imperial Palace for his use…
The Imperial Palace is the face of the Tang Empire. If Ye Gucheng is allowed to borrow it, the Tang Empire may become the laughing stock of the world and they will never be able to raise their head ever again.
In the 500 years since its founding, when has the Tang Empire ever suffered such humiliation?
“Brother Chuuxue?”
“Is it Ximen Chuuxue?”
A courtier muttered to himself and then suddenly his face changed.
The other Officials were also obviously aware of something, and their expressions also turned for the worse.
Since Ye Gucheng calls Ximen Chuuxue as ‘brother’, then they were on the same level or at least enough to deserve to be given such respect.
“What to do?”
The Officials felt cold.
If there is only Ye Gucheng, with the Tang Empire’s current heritage, maybe they can resist.
But if there’s Ximen Chuuxue…
All of the Officials trembled.
Emperor Li Sheng sighed softly when he saw this scene.
This was the biggest drawback that the Tang Empire was facing today. After the death of Emperor Tang, the only Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster in the Imperial Palace, Eunuch Zhao, also died right after.
For the past two years, Emperor Li Sheng has always wanted to train a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, but unfortunately, there has been no hope.
Even if Emperor Li Sheng exhausted the Tang Empire’s resources, the results were very slow.
After all, a Peak Great Grandmaster Grade 1 Great Grandmaster needs to transform on his own, unless one has rare treasures, such as Divine Concentration Pill, etc…
Furthermore, even if there is a Divine Concentration Pill, one still has to grasp his/her Divinity.
Basically, you can only rely on yourself, and the impact of outside forces is almost negligible.
Although, Emperor Li Sheng had faintly guessed that the person who killed the Southern Ming Empire’s King Wuyang and Yin Jiu Bat with the sound of the zither back then might be a peerless powerhouse, he hasn’t seen the person even now. Not to mention, he’s even more uncertain whether this master would make another move.
There’s also the possibility that perhaps this master only passed by the Imperial Palace and already left…
Anyway, Emperor Li Sheng will not pin his hopes on some uncertain factor.
Because he is now the Emperor!
“Your Majesty, we absolutely can not be impulsive…”
When an Official saw the Emperor Li Sheng’s face showing determination, he immediately knelt down, and dissuaded him.
How could they not understand Ye Gucheng’s provocation?
But in the face of the two Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmasters who claim to be No. 1 in attack, they simply can’t afford to try and act rashly…
“Impulsive?”
“Ye Gucheng has stepped on my face, and you’re telling me not to be impulsive?”
Emperor Li Sheng kept pacing back and forth, his tone was low.
The Tang Empire occupies the vast and fertile Central Plains. Many countries were eyeing it.
For example, when Emperor Tang died two years ago, King Wuyang sent by the Ming Emperor was testing the Tang Empire.
Fortunately, both King Wuyang and Yin Jiu Bat died, which shocked the countries and prevented the change for the worst.
This is the reason why the world has been quiet for two years.
However, if Ye Gucheng successfully borrowed the Imperial Palace this time, it would be tantamount to exposing the Tang Empire’s weakness for everyone to see.
By that time, not only will the Tang Empire face a scandal, but wars would be initiated by various countries.
“Since Your Majesty insists, we can only follow your orders…”
The Official sighed and bowed.
“Alright!”
Emperor Li Sheng stopped and looked at the Officials.
“Recall all of the Grade 1 Great Grandmasters back to the palace and mobilize the army near Chang’an City.”
Emperor Li Sheng sat back on Dragon Throne and issued orders.
In the Imperial Palace, there were a total of 23 Grade 1 Great Grandmasters, but it does not mean that the Tang Empire only has these 23 Grade 1 Great Grandmasters.
There were also some Grade 1 Great Grandmasters located in local areas, or in the private sector of the Tang Empire.
The private Grade 1 Great Grandmasters can reject the Emperor’s call, but as long as the Emperor could pay the price, he could make them act.
As for the army near Chang’an City, it is Emperor Li Sheng’s greatest deterrent.
Even if it is a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, once deeply encircled by the army, there is a risk of death.
…
…
At the same time.
In the East Palace.
Su Qin walked slowly on the green trail.
Since entering the 4th Heavenly Layer a year ago, Su Qin’s Cultivation speed has slowed down again.
“Sigh…”
“Sure enough, there is no shortcut in Cultivation, I can only take it step by step……”
Su Qin sighed softly.
Even though he has been taking Innate Spirit Liquid, Nine Revolutions Whirling Pill, and Glazed Golden Core regularly, his progress is still very slow. One can just imagine how difficult it is to Cultivate on the 4th Heavenly Layer.
Of course, the “slowness” in Su Qin’s mouth is relative to the speed before his breakthrough.
Compared with other Arhats/Legends, it is definitely faster by many times.
“However, the Palace has not been peaceful recently…”
Su Qin seemed to have thought of something, released his Divine Sense, and scanned the entire Imperial Palace.
Su Qin usually does not always check the Imperial Palace with Divine Sense, but he still scans it every once in a while.
“Huh?”
“The night of the full moon?”
“Borrowing the Imperial Palace?”
“Baiyun City Lord Ye Gucheng? Ximen Chuuxue?”
Su Qin raised his brows, and his face flashed with surprise.
During his scan just now, Su Qin heard these words from a conversation with a court lady and an eunuch.
The people in the palace were alarmed. Although many court ladies and eunuchs did not dare to talk about this on the surface, they were certainly talking about it cautiously in secret.
“Interesting.”
“Using the Imperial Palace as a battlefield? Seeking a breakthrough?”
Su Qin shook his head slightly.
“Well, if they dare to come, I’ll just slap them to death.”
Su Qin casually thought.
In any case, Emperor Li Sheng is now his brother-in-law, and Su Qin also uses the entire Imperial Palace as his back garden. So how could he let two flies fly around in front of him and disturb it’s peacefulness?
In the eyes of Su Qin, not to mention two Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmasters, even if there are 20 or 200 of them, they would be reduced to nothing with just a slap.
