Chapter 24 Immortal Seed (Seeking collections and reads)

Inside the imperial palace, numerous imperial soldiers, Imperial Guards, Shadow Guard, Martial Artists, and the Hall of Offerings continued to fight and kill each other.

Meanwhile, led by Little Chengzi, Zheng Yi arrived in front of a rockery behind Jiaotai Hall.

Aside from him, there were three other young eunuchs.

He did not know why Little Chengzi came here at this critical moment, but he still patiently waited.

"Rockery? Could there be a secret chamber? Why didn't Emperor Zhengyong come here himself?"

Little Chengzi walked up to the rockery and carefully examined it.

"Foster father said the mechanism is right here... Where on earth is it?"

After groping around the rockery for several breaths, he finally said joyfully, "Found it!"

Accompanied by a 'click' sound, the rockery suddenly split to both sides, quickly revealing a secret passage.

"Follow this old servant down, and remember to be careful later. Do not gossip indiscriminately."

"Understood."

The four young eunuchs respectfully replied, then entered the rockery one by one.

A winding downward passage that only allowed one person to walk appeared before Zheng Yi's eyes. After walking downward for less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a huge secret chamber appeared.

This secret chamber had obviously been built for a long time, mostly made of stone carvings, looking very ancient and unadorned.

There were also several old eunuchs serving here. After Little Chengzi took out a token, the leading old eunuch respectfully said:

"We have been guarding here for over fifty years, are we finally going to go outside?"

Little Chengzi said: "By Your Majesty's verbal decree, I am taking the Immortal Seed out."

"Immortal Seed..."

The old eunuch respectfully said: "Understood."

Then, led by the old eunuch, the few of them continued forward.

Zheng Yi's expression became increasingly strange.

Immortal Seed?

What is that?

Immortal cultivator?

The surrounding environment became more and more bizarre, featuring several rooms, a private school for teaching, and dozens of portraits.

Zheng Yi recognized them; these portraits were all portraits of the past emperors of the Great Yu Dynasty!

Until finally, they entered and saw several clothes drying poles, on which many clothes were hung, as well as infant diapers, clothes, and so on.

Two little girls around seven or eight years old were playing at the doorway.

Seeing the old eunuch bring several people over, they quickly ran over.

"Grandpa Chen, what are you taking us to play with today?"

The old eunuch shook his head and said: "Dongyun Jie, Dongyun Yu, Grandpa came today to find your father."

"Father?"

"Father!"

"Father!"

"Grandpa Chen is looking for you..."

Soon, a young man wearing scholar robes walked out.

Behind him, a beautiful woman was also following.

He cupped his hands and said: "Old Chen, are you looking for me? These people are..."

The old eunuch said: "Mr. Eastern Cloud, these are envoys sent by Your Majesty."

"You... need to accompany them out for a trip."

"Your Majesty?!"

The young man called Mr. Eastern Cloud's eyes lit up, and he said: "Could it be that Your Majesty has need of us? That's great!"

"Dongyun Jie, Dongyun Yu, come over quickly, Father is taking you to see Your Majesty!"

"Are we going to see Your Majesty? That's wonderful!"

"The old masters have always taught us to be loyal to Your Majesty. I have only seen Your Majesty's portraits, and this time I can finally..."

"No need."

Little Chengzi quickly spoke up to stop him: "Your Majesty only needs one person; Mr. Eastern Cloud accompanying us will suffice."

Mr. Eastern Cloud quickly said: "Understood!"

"Dongyun Jie, Dongyun Yu, be good, just wait here for Father to return."

"No way, no way, I want to see Your Majesty..."

"Mother said that when I grow up in the future, I will marry Your Majesty, I want to go too!"

"Me too, me too!"

"Be good~!"

Mr. Eastern Cloud gave the beautiful woman behind him a wink, and she hurriedly stepped forward to coax the two children away.

"Let's go."

At Little Chengzi's order, several people quickly led Mr. Eastern Cloud and walked toward the outside.

"Mr. Eastern Cloud?"

Looking at the young scholar walking ahead of him, Zheng Yi was filled with doubts.

"Who is this?"

"Immortal Seed? He is the Immortal Seed?"

"How could there be an Immortal Seed in the Great Yu Dynasty..."

"This is Emperor Zhengyong's backup plan?"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zheng Yi still followed behind him.

Soon, several people walked out of the underground palace, greeted by towering fires and shouting sounds of killing in the distance.

The rebel army had already killed their way to Jiaotai Hall!

Zheng Yi and the others arrived at Jiaotai Hall, and sure enough, the troops of both sides were fighting and slaughtering each other in the square outside Jiaotai Hall.

Further away, four Grandmaster Realm Martial Artists were confronting each other, having even collapsed quite a few palaces.

Little Chengzi hurriedly walked over: "Your Majesty, Mr. Eastern Cloud has been brought!"

"Mhm, well done."

"Commoner Eastern Cloud Wind pays respects to Your Majesty! May my Emperor enjoy ten thousand years of health and longevity matching the heavens!"

Eastern Cloud Wind bowed deeply in great excitement, his tone incomparably fanatical.

The more than twenty years of brainwashing career had long washed him into a death-defying loyalist who only knew how to be loyal to Emperor Zhengyong!

"Eastern Cloud Wind, everything will depend on you later."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Eastern Cloud Wind stood up excitedly, and Zheng Yi, standing not far behind him, felt even more puzzled.

Rely on him?

An ordinary person?

How can he change the situation?

In the distance, Yang Xuangan coldly looked at Emperor Zhengyong in front of Jiaotai Hall, his eyes full of ambition.

"Finally arrived... As long as we capture Emperor Zhengyong, the entire Great Yu will be ours!"

"Xuanming Elder!"

At the command, two old men with white hair and beards and evil-looking eyes walked out.

"Emperor Zhengyong is left to you two, capture him!"

"Hehehe... I hope Prime Minister Yang will strictly abide by our Emperor's alliance."

"Rest assured."

Prime Minister Yang said: "This prime minister means what he says. As long as the two of you can capture Emperor Zhengyong, this prime minister will cede Bin Province!"

"Hhahaha, good...!"

The two of them let out a loud laugh, immediately exerted their movement techniques, and rushed towards Emperor Zhengyong.

Yang Kang leaned over: "Father, are you really going to cede Bin Province to Wu Country? Such a big matter, presumably the ministers in the court will not agree..."

"An expedient measure, that's all." Prime Minister Yang chuckled and said: "This prime minister received intelligence that Xu Mujun is not in Datong Prefecture, and is most likely in the imperial palace!"

"The imperial palace...!"

Yang Kang drew a sharp breath and said: "Then Father still wants to..."

"Emperor Zhengyong is fishing, how could this old man not be fishing as well?"

Prime Minister Yang said confidently: "Merely Xu Mujun, this old man has long since prepared for him. As long as Emperor Zhengyong is captured today and Xu Mujun is killed, the Great Yu Dynasty will be stable!"

"Xu Mujun...!"

Yang Kang looked at the battlefield with worry, only to see Xuanming Elder pouncing toward the battlefield like two majestic eagles.

The two stepped on the shoulders and heads of the soldiers, moving forward rapidly. When they were not far from Jiaotai Hall, they suddenly landed; one threw out his left hand and the other threw out his right hand, fiercely slapping them together.

At the same time, their other two hands swung out together.

"Chilling Ice Poison Palm!"

"Chilling Ice Poison Palm!"

"Hiss!"

In an instant, endless Internal Energy containing a chilling intent gushed out. Every single soldier who tried to block in front of this Internal Energy let out a miserable scream, trembled all over from the cold, and collapsed softly onto the ground.

The two of them were like two ancient savage beasts, charging wildly in the direction of Emperor Zhengyong.

Not a single soldier or gold and silver medallion expert of the Hall of Offerings blocking in front of them was their match!

The two of them joining forces was enough to fight on par with Grandmaster Realm Martial Artists.

With Zhao Su Ling and Prince Xian not present, no one was their match.

Seeing that there was less than a hundred meters left to Emperor Zhengyong, the two laughed wildly:

"Emperor Zhengyong! Our Emperor has an order, inviting Emperor Zhengyong to visit Wu Country!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

As for Emperor Zhengyong, he still stared coldly at the two of them, as if looking at two corpses.

At this very moment, a robust middle-aged male figure suddenly walked out from inside Jiaotai Hall.

His eyes merely flashed, and killing intent surged wildly outward.

With a single step forward, a wave of Qi even rolled up around his body, blowing the facial hair and hair of the people around into disarray.

"An expert?"

"A Grandmaster Martial Artist?"

Xuanming Elder's heart shook violently, subconsciously turning back.

However, they saw the newcomer reach out and grab an ordinary goose-feather saber into his hand, casually slashing it towards the direction of Xuanming Elder!

In a flash, a violent blood-colored Saber Qi surged out like a tsunami, instantly slashing onto the body of the elder of Xuanming Elder.

"Puff!"

With a single slash down, the elder of Xuanming Elder instantly had his head separated from his body, killed in a split second!

"Hundred Battles Blood Fiend Saber!"

"Xu Mujun!"
