Chapter 1742 Ambush

Fengqu City.

Today, the main street in the city is heavily guarded. Countless palace maids and eunuchs are filing out of the palace, followed by rows of elite guards.

Many outsiders looked at this scene curiously.

"What's going on? Such a big deal."

"You don't understand this, right? Today is the day when the Qianlong royal family worships their ancestors, and the emperor is leaving the palace and heading to the imperial mausoleum."

"So that's how it is. I thought there would be some happy event, but it turned out to be just this."

"It is said that martial law has been declared today, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. My sister-in-law is still waiting outside for me to take her to China for a trip. We agreed to arrest her today, so why did this happen?"

...

Everyone was talking about it, and soon, a series of royal convoys drove out of the city.

The most conspicuous and noble one among them is the Queen's carriage, which is pulled by dragons and lions, with gods leading the way and a full deck of cards.

At this time, two monks in the crowd were whispering.

"The Qianlong royal family is offering sacrifices to their ancestors. This is a rare opportunity."

"That's right. Send a message back to Jiulong Valley immediately. I think Lord Mo Yuan will be happy to hear this news."

"After waiting for so long, this woman finally came out."

"Will there be any danger? It is said that the queen has a sacred magic weapon, the Heaven-shaking Seal, which is extremely powerful."

"Don't worry, the master of the sect said that the Heaven-Flipping Seal consumes lifespan. In order to seize power and deal with Luo Canghai, this woman had already consumed most of her lifespan. Now she would never dare to use it casually again."

"Well, without the Heaven-Flipping Seal, this woman is nothing to be afraid of. Lord Mo Yuan will be able to handle her easily."

...

After leaving the main city, the royal team walked further and further towards the imperial mausoleum.

The team came all the way to the imperial mausoleum, and after a series of sacrificial ceremonies, Ji Tongyin, dressed in imperial robes, began to pay homage to the ancestors.

Following her were brothers and sisters of the royal family.

When fighting for the throne, Ji Tongyin did not kill all of his brothers and sisters, but spared their lives.

Now Ji Tongyin has already firmly sat on the throne and holds all the power.

Those princes who once coveted the throne have now been convinced by Ji Tongyin's methods to give up the throne and live peacefully as princes.

"Sister, do you think someone will really come and attack us?"

Taking advantage of the break in the ancestor worship, Ji Linglong came to her sister and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, this is what your elder brother Lin told me."

"Ah, then aren't we in danger?"

Ji Tongyin patted her sister's head lovingly and said, "Don't worry, your elder brother Lin will make arrangements."

"He won't be protecting us secretly."

"It's to protect me." Ji Tongyin corrected.

Ji Linglong felt a little aggrieved and pouted: "Sister, do you mind..."

"What do you mind?"

"No...nothing."

Ji Linglong quickly shut up and almost said what was in her heart, thinking that her sister would not agree.

Humph! It doesn't matter. I'll wait until Brother Lin and I have made it a done deal. It won't matter if my sister disagrees.

The ancestor worship ceremony lasted for a long time before it finally ended, and Ji Tongyin ordered to return to the palace.

But on the way back, a large black shadow suddenly flew over from a distance.

When everyone looked closely, they found that it was actually a group of bloodthirsty devil bees. The swarm covered the sky and flew towards the Qianlong royal family.

"Protect the Emperor!"

The leading female general shouted loudly and immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

The demon bees rushed into the crowd, and everyone started to kill the bees.

Although there are many of these demon bees, they are not a difficult problem. It would be really laughable if the elite of the Qianlong royal family could not even solve them.

What no one expected was that the magic bees were just a distraction, and the real attack was about to follow!

I saw a large number of monks flying out from the mountains nearby, led by a young man.

The man was dressed in a black robe, had a bald head, was shaped like a bell, and had an aura as terrifying as the abyss of hell.

"Lord Moyuan, there are too many of these elite Hidden Dragons. Are we short of manpower? Should we transfer some more personnel?"

The bald man laughed and said, "You are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. If you are scared, I am enough. Go back to the sect and kill yourself. You trash will only waste resources for Jiulong Valley!"

The subordinates were silent and hurriedly said: "Sir, we will kill the enemy with all our strength!"

After saying that, all the men behind Mo Yuan immediately rushed towards the Qianlong royal family regardless of everything.

Mo Yuan looked at this scene and sneered.

"Lin Jichen, let's slowly settle our grudges. I will kill your beloved first, and then slowly settle with others. This is the first one, and there will be a second one soon. I want to make you taste the pain."

The man in front of him was none other than Sheng Yuan, who had defected from Buddhism. Because he had fallen into the path of evil and practiced magic, Sheng Yuan's strength has greatly increased. Not only has he entered the peak realm of enlightenment, he has no rivals in the same realm, and is nicknamed Mo Yuan.

This kind of strength also gave him enough confidence, and he couldn't wait to come out and take revenge.

After all, if he wants to break through to the state of metamorphosis, he must cut off his inner demons before he can touch the threshold of the state of metamorphosis.

Sheng Yuan’s inner demon is naturally Lin Ji Chen. Few people in the world can compare to his hatred for Lin Ji Chen.

Scenes from the past flashed through Shengyuan's mind.

The reason why he first had a grudge with Lin Jichen was actually because of Ji Tongyin.

When Ji Hongyue held a birthday banquet, his master took him to the banquet.

In the palace, Shengyuan fell in love with Ji Tongyin at first sight.

It’s a pity that love is unrelenting. The appearance of Lin Ji Chen makes him completely lose the qualification to compete for her lover.

It was also because of this that the feud between him and Lin Ji Chen became uncontrollable. As the most talented disciple of Buddhism, a child of destiny, he was arrogant and proud, but he could never catch up with Lin Ji Chen.

He had failed countless times, even nearly lost his life at the Ascension Conference, and was severely beaten at the Demon Suppression Mountain. All these past experiences had turned him, who was already extremely jealous, completely evil.

He was willing to join Jiulong Valley, because now in the Eight Wastelands, the only ones who dared to break off relations with Tianyan Sword Sect were Jiulong Valley and Wan Yao Sect.

He couldn't go to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect because Li Wushuang was Lin Jichen's mistress.

The Ghost Palace was gone, and the Demon Sect was unreliable, so he had no choice but to join the Nine Dragon Valley.

Fortunately, Situ Haokong of Jiulong Valley thought highly of him. Not only did he train him vigorously, but his goal was also the same as his, which was to kill Lin Jichen and destroy the Tianyan Sword Sect.

It is precisely because of Situ Haokong's support, Jiulong Valley is a physical cultivator, which is a perfect match for Shengyuan.

In just a few months, his strength had reached a terrifying height.

He was confident that even if Lin Ji Chen fought with him personally now, he would not be afraid!

Below, the two sides were fighting fiercely. Seeing that her own royal guards suffered heavy casualties, Ji Tongyin frowned and finally couldn't hold back and decided to take action.

But before she could make a move, Sheng Yuan dropped from the sky and slapped her down with his palm.

Ji Tongyin hurriedly dodged, but the nine dragons and lions below suffered the consequences and were beaten into mud by Sheng Yuan's palm!
