Chapter 670

Lin Luochen still has no news, and they also don't know what the situation is now.

If Zhao Zhengping found out, by now Lin Luochen still hasn't entered the palace; he would probably be dumbfounded.

What the hell, after all this time they still haven't entered the palace, but Xu San has even managed to take down the Empress Dowager.

But this isn't Lin Luochen's fault; ever since entering the capital, she's been constantly pursued—let alone entering the palace, she hasn't even had a moment to catch her breath.

Moreover, because of Lin Luochen's recent affairs, the entire Great Yuan Empire has been thrown into chaos.

Even the emperor knows about this; he has strictly ordered the city guard to capture the culprit, after which he will personally interrogate them.

The Great Yuan emperor is curious about Lin Luochen; despite the city guard's full-force pursuit, they have managed to flee for so many days.

What's more, this is just a small capital; it seems they still have some ability.

Of course, to the Great Yuan emperor this is just a trifle; what he truly cares about now is still the war with Great Wu.

According to intelligence from the front lines, after over half a month of fierce fighting, the Great Wu Empire can barely hold on.

But the Spirit Culinary Alliance suddenly intervened, which actually helped the Great Wu Empire share some of the pressure.

"They don't know what's good for them."

Upon learning that the Spirit Culinary Alliance had also intervened in the war between Great Yuan and Great Wu, and moreover was siding with Great Wu,

Although the reason is unknown, the Great Yuan emperor has already developed killing intent toward the Spirit Culinary Alliance.

But what could a mere Spirit Culinary Alliance possibly change? Great Wu has the Spirit Culinary Alliance helping them, while our Great Yuan likewise has the Pill Master Alliance holding the fort.

Moreover, in terms of strength, the Pill Master Alliance absolutely leaves the Spirit Culinary Alliance in the dust.

Whether it's their own strength, connections, or prestige, the Spirit Culinary and Pill Masters simply cannot compare.

Cultivators can go without food, but can they go without pills?

Fortunately, the Great Saints on both sides have not yet made a move; it seems to be the result of deliberate restraint.

"Tell the commanders, no matter what the Spirit Culinary Alliance does, don't give Great Wu any breathing room."

"Yes."

The Great Yuan emperor is still thinking about quickly capturing the key border city.

Meanwhile, in an ordinary small courtyard within the capital, Qi Xiong and the others have gathered here.

These old-timers naturally haven't entered the palace; first, it would easily attract attention, and second, it would easily scare the snake.

"Have those little brats all entered the palace?"

"Except for Lin Luochen, everyone else has entered the palace."

"Very good."

Qi Xiong nodded; they haven't been idle these past few days, already having a rough grasp of the situation in the imperial palace.

There definitely is a formation; moreover, within the palace, the imperial clan has a Great Saint elder ancestor holding the fort, although there's only one, so it's not a major concern.

The only thing to worry about is whether the Great Yuan emperor might flee.

You have to know that inside the palace, there are dozens of teleportation arrays, both overt and covert.

If we don't seize the Great Yuan emperor right away, he's very likely to use a teleportation array to escape.

By then, without the emperor in our hands, the plan would fail.

Moreover, there are plenty of other strong individuals in the capital; therefore, we must act swiftly, and we only have one chance.

"If we directly storm the palace, we're likely to alert the enemy; once the palace's grand formation is activated, although we could forcefully breach it, it would still take time—even just ten breaths would be enough for the Great Yuan emperor to flee."

The teleportation arrays are the most troublesome.

Upon hearing Hong Zun's words, everyone else nodded, but after thinking, Qi Xiong said with a relaxed expression.

"Since it's difficult for us to act from outside, let's leave it to those little brats; anyway, the Great Yuan emperor is only at the perfection of the Heavenly Human realm, so those little brats can handle it."

"By then, we only need to block the other individuals of the Great Yuan Empire."

It's better not to have others act rashly from outside; instead, directly let Zhao Zhengping and his group, who are already inside Huánggōng, take action.

And they are responsible for blocking those strong individuals of the Great Abyss Empire.

They slightly altered the plan, or rather, swapped positions.

Upon hearing this, Hong Zun and the others' eyes lit up, and they all felt this plan was feasible.

"Good, let's do it like that."

"Not bad, let those kids also get some training."

They weren't worried at all; soon, Zhao Zhengping and his group received Qi Xiong's order.

Being inside Huánggōng, Zhao Zhengping, upon receiving the voice transmission, was completely dazed.

"The Sect Master ordered us to take action and capture the Great Abyss Emperor?"

"How did it become us taking action?"

"They said there is a formation."

"This..........."

This is just making it up as they go; originally they were just cooperating, so how did they become the main attackers?

But the Sect Master had already issued the order, and everyone had no choice but to think about the plan.

Right now, all the fellow disciples are inside Huánggōng, but capturing the Great Abyss Emperor is not easy either, mainly because they can't see him.

The primary problem is to figure out how to get close to the Great Abyss Emperor.

"Let Shen Xian and Xu Jie help out."

Someone suddenly spoke up; as soon as those words were said, everyone's eyes lit up. Yes, right now one of them is a favorite beside Noble Consort Hua, the other is a lover of the Empress Dowager, both are favored individuals.

Their train of thought seemed to be opened in an instant; amid everyone's chatter, a strict plan quickly took shape.

After confirming there were no omissions, the next day everyone tried to contact Shen Xian and Xu Jie.

As for Ye Zhangqing here, he also received the news; upon hearing the Sect Master's decision, he too was speechless and gave a wry smile.

Is the plan changed just like that?

Actually, it's nothing much; with me and Senior Sister Jueying coordinating in the palace, nothing will go wrong.

That's true, but Senior Brother's plan, tsk tsk...............

Just thinking of the plan that Zhao Zhengping and the others came up with, Ye Zhangqing couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb—how could they have thought up such a plan?

In the following days, the disciples began to act according to the plan.

First, Xu Jie and Shen Xian, using their influence, had Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, Zhong Ling, Wanxiang and the other fellow disciples transferred one after another into the Noble Consort Hua's palace or the Empress Dowager's palace.

This was no problem at all for the two of them, and they never even alerted the Empress Dowager or Noble Consort Hua.

After all, for such simple personnel transfers, the two could decide entirely on their own.

Besides, with so many eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial palace, moving just a few dozen people wouldn't make a ripple.

Before they knew it, the disciples of the Dao Yi Sect had filled the Noble Consort's palace and the Empress Dowager's palace.

Walking along the road, the fellow brothers and sisters could meet at any time, and the Noble Consort Hua and the Empress Dowager were still completely unaware of this.

"Come up with a way to trick the old emperor into the Empress Dowager's bedchamber or the Noble Consort's palace, then we can just take care of him."

When the time was ripe to start acting, hearing this, Shen Xian's eyes lit up and he immediately said:

"We can take the opportunity when paying respects to the Empress Dowager; the emperor will also go to pay his respects. At that time I will intentionally guide Noble Consort Hua to go together, and we will meet in the Empress Dowager's bedchamber, where we can surely capture the old emperor in one fell swoop."

"Good idea."

"Then it's settled."

"By the way, still no news from Junior Sister Lin?"

"No, I've asked around everywhere; could it be that Junior Sister Lin hasn't entered the palace yet?"

"Impossible, what's so hard about entering the imperial palace?"

After finalizing the plan, everyone prepared to act, but they were still worried about Lin Luochen, who had not heard from in a long time.
