Chapter 81 Killing the Yue Emperor and Obtaining the Fragment of the Void Heaven Map!
With a tap of the finger, one is instantly transported to the wonderful world of Chapter 81, "Killing the Yue Emperor and Obtaining the Fragment of the Void Heaven Map!"
Lin Chuan quickly suppressed his surprise and his thoughts became clear.
The true Yue Emperor, as the mastermind behind the Black Fiend Cult, possesses an extremely dazzling inheritance and must need a great deal of time to cultivate demonic arts.
It's impossible to play the role of a tyrant every day, indulging in worldly pleasures.
The most reasonable arrangement is to find a stand-in to act in front of the camera while you remain behind the scenes.
The palace covers a vast area with countless halls and pavilions, as well as secret passages and mechanisms. Searching aimlessly would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lin Chuan made a decisive move—to find a breakthrough from this fake Yue Emperor!
He was like a ghost lurking in the shadows, patiently hiding outside the council hall, waiting quietly.
The music and dance performances inside the hall lasted for about half an hour before the banquet ended.
Supported by two beautiful concubines, the fake Yue emperor left the main hall drunkenly and, escorted by a group of guards, headed towards a luxurious bedroom deep within the palace.
Lin Chuan followed silently, avoiding the patrolling guards and palace maids, until he arrived near the sleeping quarters called "Qian Yuan Palace".
The fake Yue emperor entered the palace, dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids, and even sent his two beautiful concubines to rest in a side hall.
He was left alone in the palace.
The drunkenness on his face vanished instantly, and his eyes became clear and alert.
He strode quickly to a secluded corridor deep within the palace, and arrived at an ancient-style stone lion statue. He reached out, grasped the lion's head, and slowly rotated it three times in a specific direction and with a specific force.
"Rumble..."
A dull mechanical sound rang out, and the seemingly smooth ground beside them silently slid open to both sides, revealing a dark stone staircase leading downwards. A chilling wind, mixed with the smell of earth and a faint stench of blood, blew up from below.
"An underground chamber... No wonder I didn't sense any obvious fluctuations of cultivator's aura when I probed the vicinity with my divine sense just now. It turns out it was hidden so deep and isolated by special restrictions or materials." Lin Chuan understood.
As the fake Yue Emperor's figure disappeared into the depths of the stone steps, just as the stone slabs on the ground were about to close, Lin Chuan flashed in like a ghost. At the same time, to be on the safe side, he also put on the "Hidden Spirit Veil" he had obtained earlier. The double concealment effect was combined to ensure that there was no chance of failure.
The stone steps were steep, extending downwards for a hundred meters. The deeper one went, the stronger and more pungent the stench of blood became, mixed with a nauseating smell of decay.
At the end of the stone steps lies a spacious stone chamber.
The stone chamber was divided in two by a thick stone wall. Lin Chuan hid in the shadows at the entrance of the passage, cautiously extending his divine sense forward.
He heard the imposter Yue emperor's respectful voice reporting from the other side of the stone wall:
"Your Majesty, today's court assembly and banquet proceeded as usual, and the senior officials did not suspect anything. However... there seemed to be no unusual activity by cultivators in the capital today."
"Okay, I understand. You did a good job. Go up and rest. Remember, no one is allowed to approach Qian Yuan Palace without my summons."
A slightly hoarse, dignified, and somewhat cold middle-aged male voice rang out; it was none other than the Emperor Yue himself!
"Yes, Your Majesty," the fake Yue Emperor replied, his footsteps approaching the stone steps.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Chuan's eyes, and he no longer hesitated! The target was confirmed, and there was no one else around; it was the perfect time to make his move!
With a thought, the pair of "Blood Flame Twin Blades" magical artifacts he had obtained from Han Tianya floated in front of him, their crimson blade light flickering uncertainly.
At the same time, he also held the most powerful "Blood Fiend Blade" talisman in his hand, and pure cyan-gold true essence surged into it, causing dark red, ferocious blade light to begin to condense!
Just as Lin Chuan was gathering his strength to activate the talisman, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy were becoming increasingly difficult to conceal—
"Who?!" The Yue Emperor's alert voice suddenly rang out from the other side of the stone wall!
Clearly, this Black Fiend Cult Leader, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, was no ordinary person; his perception of spiritual energy was exceptionally sharp.
The next moment, hurried footsteps approached, and a small door on one side of the stone wall was pushed open. A middle-aged man dressed in bright yellow casual clothes, whose face was seven or eight parts similar to the fake Yue Emperor, but whose eyes were sinister and sharp, and whose face was slightly pale, appeared at the door. His eyes were like lightning, and he instantly locked onto Lin Chuan in the shadows at the entrance of the passage!
Seeing Lin Chuan dressed in black and masked, and sensing the oppressive aura of the pair of Bloodflame Blades and the nascent talisman, a flash of shock, anger, and panic crossed his eyes. He shouted sharply, "Where are you from? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of the imperial city! Aren't you afraid of violating the ironclad rules of the Seven Sects and bringing about your annihilation?!"
He tried to intimidate the other party with the rules of the Seven Schools, while a dark red light began to flicker in the palm of his right hand, which was behind his back.
It was his trump card, the "Blood Spirit Diamond," that was being prepared.
This technique was obtained through a fortuitous encounter in his early years. He repeatedly compressed and condensed his own true essence, storing it in the acupoints of his body, and then unleashed it instantly when facing an enemy.
Its penetrating power is extremely strong after it is released, and it has helped him kill powerful enemies who are of higher ranks.
However, Lin Chuan's decisiveness in killing far exceeded his expectations!
"The Divine Sword of Awakening Insects," twenty-seven thrusts unleashed simultaneously!
"Well!"
Before the Yue Emperor could finish speaking, he felt as if countless red-hot steel needles were piercing his brow! The excruciating pain, accompanied by intense dizziness, instantly overwhelmed all his consciousness and movement! The red light of the "Blood Spirit Diamond" in his palm suddenly froze, almost losing control and backfiring!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Just as Yue Huang's body stiffened, his consciousness went blank, and his protective aura was at its weakest, Lin Chuan's Blood Flame Twin Blades transformed into two intersecting crimson beams, carrying scorching waves of energy, and fiercely slashed towards Yue Huang's neck and chest!
However, the excruciating pain in the Black Demon Cult Leader's head lasted for less than half a breath before he forcibly regained a sliver of clarity!
"roar!"
He let out a deep roar, and a thick, dark red light shield that emitted a pungent, bloody smell suddenly appeared on his body—"Blood Refining Divine Light"!
"Hiss!"
The Bloodflame Twin Blades struck the blood-red light, producing a piercing scraping sound. They were completely blocked by the blood-red light, and although they cut in by several inches, they failed to break through the defense in one fell swoop!
"What a hard turtle shell!" Lin Chuan's eyes turned cold, but his attack did not stop.
Just as the Yue Emperor had barely managed to raise his blood-red aura, regaining his composure and preparing to counterattack—
The "Blood Fiend Blade" talisman, which had been waiting in the wings, has finally been fully activated!
A dark red blade of light, condensed to its extreme and only a foot long, yet exuding a terrifying aura that made one's soul tremble, struck first, like a deadly blade from the underworld!
There was no earth-shattering noise.
"puff!"
A soft sound, like a hot knife cutting into solidified grease.
That seemingly tough "Blood Refining Divine Light" was as fragile as paper in front of the Blood Fiend Blade Light transformed from the talisman!
The blade pierced through the blood without any obstruction, passing precisely through the Yue Emperor's brow!
The shock, anger, ferocity, and the nascent will to survive on the Yue Emperor's face instantly froze.
The light in his eyes flickered and died out like a candle flame in the wind. He swayed, then fell backward, leaving only a tiny red dot on his forehead, lifeless.
From the moment Lin Chuan launched his spiritual attack to the moment Yue Huang died, the entire process took only two or three breaths!
A powerful figure in the late Foundation Establishment stage silently perished in this underground chamber.
This scene was clearly seen by the fake Yue emperor who had just stepped down the stone steps and was about to leave.
His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. His crotch was quickly soaked, his face was deathly pale, his teeth chattered, and he begged incoherently, "Immortal...Immortal Master, spare me! Spare me! I...I'm just a puppet, forced into this! I don't know anything, I didn't see anything! Please, Immortal Master, spare my dog's life!"
Lin Chuan glanced at him, already having made up his mind.
This person is cowardly as a mouse, and also an "actor" who knows the inside story. If he can be controlled and used, he may be able to prevent the death of the Yue Emperor and the destruction of the Black Fiend Sect from arousing suspicion from the outside world (especially the seven factions that may be paying attention).
"From this day forward, you are the true Emperor of Yue."
Lin Chuan put away his magical artifacts and talismans, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power.
"Continue to play your role well, and keep today's events to yourself."
If there is even the slightest abnormality or leak...
His cold gaze swept over the fake Yue emperor.
