Chapter 1221: Chapter 1217: Targeted

”Mr. Zhu, I’ve kept you waiting.”

He Lingchuan smiled as he cupped his fists, carefully observing Zhu Lingyun.

His gaze did not miss any slight changes on him, wanting to know if he had left.

Zhu Lingyun opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and said indifferently, ”When do we start?”

”Let’s act as soon as possible, this evening,” He Lingchuan said. ”Taking advantage of the moment they’re finally catching a breath after a busy day, we can charge in and certainly succeed!”

Zhu Lingyun snorted lightly, ”The City Guards will be on guard, won’t they? They’re quite perceptive.”

He Lingchuan laughed, ”Mr. Zhu, rest assured, no matter how perceptive they are, it won’t help.”

Zhu Lingyun frowned.

Zhong Lingyun said, ”We will set up a diversion, gathering a group of experts over at the North City side to draw their attention.”

He Lingchuan chuckled, ”The Court’s Demon Hunting Bureau and City Guard army are very rigid, following rules to the letter, quite foolish!”

Zhu Lingyun was thoughtful.

He Lingchuan proudly laughed, ”Such minor tricks can turn them in circles!”

”Are they really that foolish?” Zhu Lingyun asked, half doubting.

Zhong Lingyun shook his head, ”They’re all about rules, reporting up for any little disturbance before making a decision, how could they act flexibly like that?”

He Lingchuan said, ”With the time they take to report, we’ve already finished our move!”

Zhu Lingyun slowly nodded.

The military has its own regulations, the military laws are paramount, better to lose flexibility than break the rules.

He Lingchuan asked, ”Mr. Zhu, are you ready? We’ll rush in amidst the chaos!”

Zhu Lingyun said indifferently, ”Then let’s go and see, make sure your insiders don’t mess up.”

”They absolutely won’t,” He Lingchuan said confidently.

Zhong Lingyun said, ”If something goes wrong, we can just force our way in.”

Zhu Lingyun shook his head, ”Forcing our way in would likely be a dead end.”

As Evil Venerable, this body dying wouldn’t matter; it’s just a flesh bag, a tool.

But to him, this body was extremely precious.

He had to speak nonchalantly, with indifference, an indifference to life and death.

Zhong Lingyun said, ”With you here, Mr. Zhu, we won’t be without a fighting chance.”

He Lingchuan quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhu Lingyun couldn’t be bothered to say more, closed his eyes, and continued focusing on the clear light in his mind.

The clear light was purifying this body, causing wondrous changes.

This body used the Heavenly Transmigration Technique, not Body Seizing, but it still occupied someone else’s body.

The original soul hadn’t completely dissipated, the barrier was weak but not nonexistent.

Under the purification of this clear light, that slight barrier rapidly dissolved.

Not only did this slight barrier dissolve, but even the remnants of Evil Venerable energy in the body faded away.

Instantly, it felt clean and transparent, as if he were the original owner of this body, a seamless blend, indescribably satisfying.

He tried to operate the Evil Venerable’s mental method; its energy became entirely different.

The True Yuan from Evil Venerable no longer carried any evil energy, the power unchanged, yet the aura had transformed, unusually marvelous.

He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun looked at him in surprise.

Zhu Lingyun paid them no mind.

Being the Evil Venerable was undeniable, any anomalies were caused by the Evil Venerable.

No matter what, they couldn’t doubt if he was truly the Evil Venerable.

”Mr. Zhu, you...” He Lingchuan curiously asked.

Zhu Lingyun said indifferently, ”Just a minor secret technique, to deceive the eyes.”

”What a remarkable method,” Zhong Lingyun exclaimed.

Zhu Lingyun asked, ”Should we split up or go in together?”

”Together,” He Lingchuan said.

Zhu Lingyun said, ”If together, the target is too big, easily attracting attention, it’s better to meet up at some place.”

”This...” He Lingchuan pondered.

Zhu Lingyun said, ”Choose a place to meet up.”

He Lingchuan replied reluctantly, ”Mr. Zhu...”

If discovered, with Zhu Lingyun’s skills, there is hope of holding off.

If discovered, it would be difficult for the two of them to forcibly enter the city.

However, seeing Zhu Lingyun’s demeanor, it was clear he didn’t want to put in the effort.

He cursed inwardly, grudgingly looking at Zhong Lingyun.

Zhong Lingyun nodded lightly, ”In that case, let’s meet at the North City Pier, it’s crowded there, less likely to draw notice.”

Zhu Lingyun nodded.

He closed his eyes again, as if disinclined to speak to them.

He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly.

They could see Zhu Lingyun was extremely guarded against them but still followed together, just for that chance to obtain the Strange Treasure.

They secretly laughed, as long as greed was involved, no matter how strong the cultivation, one could be played like a fiddle.

...

Time slowly passed.

As the sun set in the west, its remaining rays dyed the forest outside the Imperial City red.

Weary birds returned to the forest, chirping noisily.

The line to enter the city grew longer, with fewer leaving.

A distant long whistle suddenly came from the north.

A signal shot up into the sky, then exploded with a ”bang”, a large red flower appearing in the sky.

The City Guards stationed at the city gate suddenly looked up.

A young City Guard said in a deep voice, ”General, should we go to the rescue?”

Ding Huanchun, standing tall, hands on his sword hilt, looked up at the large red flower in the sky, coldly saying, ”Ignore it!”

”But...” The young City Guard hastily said, ”Isn’t that against regulation?”

Ding Huanchun snorted, ”I’ve already received military orders, each guard their own gate, ignore other gates, aid will come from within the city!”

”That’s good,” the young guard sighed in relief.

Ding Huanchun narrowed his eyes, ”Xiao Fan, you’re worried about your brothers, right? Don’t worry, everything’s arranged, well-prepared!”

”...Yes, General, you’re wise.”

The young man awkwardly scratched his head, revealing a naive smile.

He sighed in relief.

Ding Huanchun glared, ”Our task is to guard the city gate, when the Evil Demons attack the gate later, stay alert, don’t lose your life!”

The young guard scoffed, ”General, don’t worry, if they dare attack the gate, we’ll make sure they don’t make it through!”

”Don’t underestimate them,” Ding Huanchun said, ”Don’t shout so loudly now and end up wetting your pants!”

”Hey, General, you’re underestimating us too much!” a nearby young City Guard complained.

Ding Huanchun snorted, ”Let’s see how you perform then.”

Zhu Lingyun opened his eyes, glancing indifferently at the city gate, ”No movement, huh?”

He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun frowned, exchanged a glance, their expressions grave.

Zhu Lingyun said, ”Seems the City Guard isn’t as foolish as you said.”

He had already leaked the information, telling Huang Zhengyang about their plan, who then told General Wei De Zhao Wuyou.

The City Guards and Evil Extermination Department made targeted arrangements, rock solid.

Super Sense revealed that the north was already a battlefield, over two hundred Evil Demons furiously attacking more than forty City Guards.

But soon, four hundred City Guards emerged from the city, encircling and reversing the situation.

”Bang!”

The sky suddenly cracked open.

A black mask slowly appeared in the sky.

Zhu Lingyun realized, it was the Wanxiang Sect’s distress signal.

He opened his eyes, saying indifferently, ”What should we do?”

Zhong Lingyun frowned, contemplating.

He Lingchuan said, ”Looks like it’s unsustainable, shall we charge through the North Gate?”

Zhong Lingyun looked gloomy, deep in thought.

Zhu Lingyun said, ”Or let them attack, target the South Gate.”

”And leave the North Gate alone?” He Lingchuan asked.

Zhu Lingyun laughed, ”Just a few dead disciples, let them die.”

”Mr. Zhu!” He Lingchuan snapped angrily, ”They’re not your Giant Spirit Sect disciples!”

Zhu Lingyun said, ”To obtain the Strange Treasure, there must be a price, and this is the price that must be paid.”

He Lingchuan turned to Zhong, ”Brother Zhong, let the disciples head north, we’ll enter from the north!”

Zhong Lingyun hesitated.

Zhu Lingyun saw his nature, clever but indecisive.
