Seven days later, the night of the full moon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the sun sets and the night gradually falls, a full moon like a millstone hangs in the deep and quiet sky.
Outside the Ling Tian Emperor's Palace, Ye Zhen, which blended with the night, lurked in the darkness, observing the situation on the roof of the palace from afar.
After a week-long investigation, he had already figured out the location of Ling Ao's dormitory, and he was fully prepared for this, as long as the old guy with the remnant sword flew up to the top of the palace and danced the sword under the moon as usual, he could wait for the opportunity to act and sneak into Ling Ao's dormitory in one fell swoop.
Although he was absolutely confident in his own strength, Ye Zhen did not dare to be careless about this bad old man who had completely defeated Yun Punishment with a broken sword.
Don't look at the countless lord-level bosses he has killed since the game, but he has never fought against lord-level NPCs, let alone any good records.
Moreover, judging from the status and age of the remnant sword, this old guy who uses a broken sword as a weapon will never be inferior to Shang Chongwu and Kazakh, the two lord-level generals.
After all, this guy was an old antique who was able to fight with Nie Li and get out of the way, and he had walked more bridges than Ye Zhen had walked.
The moon is full like a disk, and the bright moonlight shines on the roof of the palace covered with red tiles as if it has been washed, and the visibility is not much worse than that of a cloudy day.
It's a pity that let the time pass minute by minute, Ye Zhen waited motionless outside the palace gate for a long time, and the remnant sword that would appear on time every full moon night was still missing, making him anxious but not daring to act rashly, so he could only greet all the female surnames of the remnant sword family in his heart.
"No matter, wait another five minutes, if this old immortal doesn't show up in five minutes, I can only do it." Seeing that there was still an hour before the game time was about to end, Ye Zhen couldn't help but feel anxious, at this time there were only two days left before the mission deadline, it could be said that this full moon was his only chance, once he missed today's opportunity, even if he could kill Ling Biao next time the full moon would be useless.
However, the heavens still favored Ye Zhen, just when he was about to be nervous, he saw a white figure in the palace group in the distance suddenly burst out, like an egret soaring into the sky, without the help of any external force, just jumped to the top of the palace seven or eight zhang high, the magic of the body, even Shang Chongwu, who is good at light body kung fu, is difficult to compare.
The full moon is like water, the white clothes are like snow, he is holding a two-foot broken sword, his head is full of white hair and no wind, although he is separated from the remnant sword by a distance of four or five hundred meters, he can't see his appearance and figure clearly, but Ye Zhen can still feel the momentum of this old guy in white standing on the palace with a glance at the mountains.
This old immortal is by no means an ordinary lord-level master.
However, the next situation was just as Ye Zhen expected, after flying to the top of the palace, within a moment, the remnant sword began to do his homework once a month, only to see his body move, white clothes fluttering, a broken sword like a dragon and phoenix dancing, under the light of the moonlight, like a dusty sword fairy in a mythological novel, dancing the sword so that people can only see a white light like a fog.
"Good chance!" Ye Zhen was not in the mood to appreciate the sword technique of the remnant sword, when he saw this old man start to dance the sword, he who had been waiting for a long time immediately opened the golden cicada shell, and sneaked into the Ling Tian Emperor's palace like a black poisonous snake that had been dormant for a long time.
The palace is brightly lit, and the majestic and solemn palaces stand in rows in this city-within-a-city, and there are countless guards with knives patrolling in front of each palace, all with murderous faces, cold and ruthless.
However, Ye Zhen only glanced at them, and after entering the palace as if he was flying, he saw that his speed did not decrease but increased, and he skipped many places, rushing towards the most central position of this inner city like a gust of wind.
That's what he's really aiming for.
The full moon illuminates the entire palace as if it were day, even if there is no rendering of the moon and the dark wind, the leaves in the wild rush are still tense, and the mind is extremely nervous.
There is only one chance, and if he doesn't succeed, he has no other choice.
It took seven or eight minutes to bypass the hordes of patrolling guards, and when Ye Zhen was about to enter the very center of this city within a city, his speed suddenly dropped, and after the focused reconnaissance of this location a few days ago, he didn't know anything about the palace where Ling Biao lived, but he was already familiar with it.
If those positions just now are all three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, then this central area is simply one step and one post, two steps and one sentry, and all kinds of heavily armed guards wrapped in iron armor are tightly connected, like iron buckets, surrounding this huge palace in the center so much that even a fly cannot hide.
Of course, with the assistance of the golden cicada shelling, no matter how powerful the guards are in front of Ye Zhen, they are just papier-mΓ’chΓ© tigers, and his body is like the wind passing through the pieces of armor guards, he did not cause the slightest movement to alarm the group of guards, as if he was in a no-man's land, and soon came to the front of the huge palace in the center.
The golden palace, the hall is more than 30 meters high, covers an area of up to 10,000 square meters, this palace alone, at least can accommodate tens of thousands of people standing side by side.
Of course, the scale and momentum alone were not enough for Ye Zhen to be sure that this was Ling Biao's dormitory, and the most important thing was that the NPC guards outside this palace were almost all shining with a kind of murderous aura, almost all of them were masters among the masters, and even the armor on these personal guards was golden, and the degree of well-equipped was the first in the entire palace.
Not only that, but the thousands of gold-armored guards outside the palace were actually unsheathed with swords and bows and arrows wound in such calm conditions, and even those palace beauties who wanted to enter the palace had to be searched one by one before they could be released and sent into the palace, and then there would be an old man's unscrupulous silver laughter and inexplicable sound inside.
Ye Zhen almost traveled all over the palace, only this palace was the most heavily guarded, and only this palace dared to make noise at night, and it was also mixed with the sound of copulation between men and women, it can be said that in the palace, no one except the emperor can have this kind of treatment.
At this time, this brightly lit golden hall was also emitting some piercing noisy frolicking sounds from time to time, compared to the tranquility and solemnity of the entire palace, this palace was too conspicuous, even if Ye Zhen didn't want to notice it, it was difficult.
"It's almost time, now there are about 10 minutes left for the golden cicada to come out of its shell, let's go and take a look first, even if this is not Lingqiu's dormitory, I still have time to look for it." Thinking about it, the invisible leaf marks immediately flashed, and they blew towards the lightly hidden gate of the palace like a gust of wind.
Unlike other places, the guards outside the palace gate were not military generals and guards, but more than a dozen eunuchs and eunuchs wearing cyan eunuch uniforms.
Even the guards outside with extraordinary strength could not see any clues, with the vigilance of these eunuchs, naturally they could not find the leaf marks that were getting closer and closer to the temple door, when the latter blew into the hall with a gust of wind, making the lightly covered tall hall door make a slight noise, an old eunuch with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks immediately gave the little eunuch next to him a burst of anger in anger, and scolded in a voice like a male duck: "Useless cub, let you close the door tightly, if you let these cold winds disturb Your Majesty's Yaxing, The miscellaneous family has to dismantle you! β
