Chapter 664: We'll Meet at the Imperial Palace

Anyway, Lin Luòchén now just feels that everything about him is not so good; the Sect is completely different from before.

His gaze unconsciously fell on Ye Zhangqing, who was leisurely lying in a chair, his eyes full of strange looks.

It's all because of Elder Ye that the Sect has become like this.

Just thinking that up to now I haven't even had a bite of rice, while the meals are prepared according to the number of people each day.

Yet every time, my senior brothers find various excuses to strike out, and I simply can't beat them.

Afterwards, when questioned, they always use the excuse of compensation for saving me, leaving me speechless.

I can only smell but not eat, and this happens every day, which almost drives Lin Luòchén mad.

He clenched his fists secretly and swore in his heart.

"No, I must eat a meal."

I really can't go on like this.

"Where will we stay tonight?"

"Still at the governor's residence?"

"We'll see when the time comes."

While Lin Luòchén's thoughts were racing, on the other side Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and others were already considering where to stay tonight.

But the places they chose are really quite strange.

At the border, the fighting between the two sides is raging fiercely.

The Great Yuan Empire launched several attacks, all stubbornly blocked by the Great Wu Empire.

After repelling another attack by the Great Yuan Empire, the commanders of the Great Wu Empire on the city walls frowned tightly and said.

"It seems the Great Yuan truly intends to spare no expense."

"That's inevitable; we know the importance of the border city, and they naturally understand too—once they take the border city, the main army can advance unimpeded."

"Sigh, any news from the upper sect?"

At present, the commanders of the Great Wu Empire also have no good ideas; the emperor's side really can't send any more reinforcements.

Suddenly I thought of the Dao Yi Sect members who had entered the Great Yuan Empire earlier—if they really could capture the Great Yuan emperor, that would definitely be good news.

But so many days have passed, and there has been absolutely no movement reported from within the Great Yuan Empire.

Even the scouts have returned nothing.

"General, do you really think they have entered the Great Yuan territory?"

"What do you mean?"

"I just feel that if they really had entered the Great Yuan, there couldn't be absolutely no sign at all."

It's utterly bizarre, like a mud cow sinking into the sea—no ripple at all can be seen.

Upon hearing this, the leading commander also furrowed his brows, feeling the same strangeness.

Wanting to go to the capital of the Great Yuan Empire, no matter how well you hide, you'll always leave some trace, yet there is absolutely no sign.

The commanders of the Great Wu Empire are utterly baffled.

In fact, the Dao Yi Sect members never intended to hide anything at all; they have been marching openly all along.

Not only that, last night they stayed at a big family's house, and after eating and drinking their fill, the Dao Yi Sect group continued leisurely toward the Great Yuan capital.

Even when they were about to leave, the clan chief of that family personally led his clansmen to see them off respectfully.

"General, take your leave."

"Well, I will note down the affairs of your Li family; if I see the emperor, I will speak a few good words for your Li family."

"Thank you, General, thank you, General."

Seeing Qi Xiong nod with a solemn expression, Lin Luòchén's eyelids twitched in the crowd—what kind of state of mind allows one to remain so unmoved?

Moreover, every time it's like this.

After so many days, the Dao Yi Sect members are getting ever closer to the Great Yuan capital.

At noon, they could already see a huge city looming in the distance.

The city is vast and long; from afar it looks like a giant beast lying prone on the ground.

"Only Zhongzhou could have such a huge city, I suppose."

A city of this scale, besides Zhongzhou, the other four continents simply could not possess.

Finally they arrived outside the capital; this time Qi Xiong did not directly lead everyone straight inside.

Instead, he found a secluded spot and descended slowly.

Seeing this, Lin Luòchén didn't know why, but finally he felt relieved—this is the correct procedure, unlike what they did before.

If they still acted as before, swaggering into the city, Lin Luòchén would probably really go mad.

Actually it's not hard to understand: as the capital where the imperial palace resides, the defenses are naturally much tighter.

Continuing with the old method would surely not work.

So Qi Xiong didn't think much, just descended first.

After everyone disembarked from the spatial spirit boat, I thought Qi Xiong would announce the next plan, but what he said next left Lin Luòchén completely baffled.

"Act on your own; we'll meet again at the imperial palace."

"Yes, Sect Master."

"Yes."

"Huh???"

The imagined plan didn't appear; just a single line "Act on your own, we'll meet again at the imperial palace," and then nothing else?

What's even more outrageous is that the many fellow disciples around showed no sign of finding it strange, each calmly nodding without hesitation.

"That Sect Master.............."

"Anything up?"

"We don't have any plans?"

"Helpless, Lin Luochen only felt his head buzzing, and he forced himself to ask."

"As for that, Qi Xiong, however, had a strange expression."

"Didn't I tell you? Act separately, we'll meet at the palace."

"This is the plan? Damn it, tell me how to get into the palace!"

"But Qi Xiong obviously didn't realize this; in his mind, the idea was actually simple."

"Isn't it just sneaking into an imperial city? What plan is needed? Everyone figures it out themselves; once we're in the palace, we just strike directly—how simple."

"As an Inner Disciple of the Dao Yi Sect, can't even get into a palace—how embarrassing."

"So he couldn't be bothered to explain any plan; he'd figure it out himself."

"And the other fellow disciples had no objections either; they'd long been used to it."

"After all, back in Dongzhou, whether facing Huling or the water tribe, there had been plenty of times when he had to make decisions on his own."

"In short, the Sect's demand has always been simple: I don't care what method you use, I don't care about the process—I only look at the result."

"As for how you managed it, that's your business."

"Alright then, let's do that."

"After saying that, Qi Xiong and the others exchanged a glance, then one of them flickered away and vanished; seeing that, the other senior brothers also greeted each other in turn and went their separate ways."

"Too many people would easily attract attention; splitting up makes things easier to handle."

"Junior Sister, we'll meet again at the palace."

"Senior Sister, be careful; Junior Sister is waiting for you at the palace."

"Husband, let's go too."

"Mm."

"Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, Lu Youyou, Ye Zhangqing and the others, after greeting Lin Luochen, also left one after another."

"They likewise didn't realize the issue; in the end, only Lin Luochen and the Tang family party remained on the spot."

"Looking at Tang Yao's sighing expression, Lin Luochen only felt his head buzzing: Who am I? Where am I? Where the hell are the people?"

"Sigh, the Dao Yi Sect truly lives up to being the overlord of Dongzhou—its actions are clean and decisive."

"Tang Yao sighed."
