No one knew that Zhi Li had entered King's City. In the public's opinion, he should still be in the southern border city!
After returning to King's City on the griffin, he didn't even enter the Young King's Residence, but secretly sneaked into the Dragon Temple.
The Fengdu Holy Temple was a very large castle manor, plus the area of the inquisition, it was even bigger than the palace.
And as one of the 16 inquisitors, Fu Lingxi had a separate castle. In the castle's underground secret chamber, Fu Lingxi met Zhi Li.
"Your Royal Highness, are you hiding something from me?" Fu Lingxi asked.
"Hiding something from you?" Zhi Li smiled bitterly, "What else can I hide from you now?"
Fu Lingxi said, "After the defeat, what does Your Royal Highness Zhi Li plan to do?"
Zhi Li said, "Recruit civil and military talents who oppose Søren, then lead them into the Yan Empire to establish a government-in-exile, continue to fight against Søren, and resolutely refuse to recognize the legitimacy of Jung Yeon's succession."
Zhi Li was very smart and cunning, of course he wouldn't tell anyone about something as important as assassinating the king.
And what he said was 70% true, 30% false. If it wasn't for the situation, he would have really packed up his forces and fled to the Yan Empire. Why would he assassinate the king and walk on this path of death?
Fu Lingxi immediately thought that Zhi Li's plan was indeed feasible, even the best one.
After Jung Yeon ascended to the throne but lost the protection of the Dragon Temple, the Yan Empire and the Western Liang Kingdom would definitely send millions of troops to attack. At that time, Jung Yeon's regime wouldn't be able to resist, the Raging Wave Kingdom would be in a precarious situation, and Zhi Li's opportunity to make a comeback would come.
If Fu Lingxi had to choose, she would also choose this path.
"Your Highness Zhi Li, don't be in a hurry to leave the Raging Wave Kingdom. Just stay in Fengdu and don't go anywhere," said Fu Lingxi.
Zhi Li was stunned, "Why? Right now, I'm being pushed by everyone when I'm down. Other than my most trusted confidants, anyone can betray me. "
Fu Lingxi said, "In any case, just wait quietly. Don't do anything and just observe the situation!"
"Change?" Zhi Li said, "What change? Will there be any changes? "
Fu Lingxi shook her head and said, "The situation is not clear yet. In short, you don't need to do anything. Just wait quietly and don't leave the Raging Wave Kingdom!"
Zhi Li couldn't help but be startled, and his heart skipped a beat.
Fu Lingxi asked him not to do anything, but he was already doing something shocking. It should have started by now, and it was too late to stop him.
…
The Raging Wave Kingdom royal family had a total of more than 20 griffins, 15 of which were given to Søren, leaving only 10 griffins for the king's griffin knights.
In order to save Zhi Ning and her son, Gao Yin and the others rode eight griffins back to the royal city.
However, the goal of these experts was to save Zhi Ning and her son, not to protect the king.
Therefore, Li Chenglian and the other experts had their eyes fixed on the Young Lord Residence and Fengdu Holy Temple.
It was impossible to snatch them out from Fengdu Holy Temple, so the only chance was for Zhi Li to kill them halfway after he fetched them out of Fengdu Holy Temple.
Of course, the consequences of doing so were equally terrifying. First of all, the martial arts by Zhi Li's side far exceeded Gao Yin's, and he still had Søren's son as a hostage.
In short, saving Zhi Ning and her son had become extremely tricky.
No matter how powerful the Shadow Pavilion was, it was true that the Shadow Pavilion did not notice Zhi Li's entry into the royal city.
The experts that Li Chenglian brought along, as well as a considerable portion of the Shadow Pavilion's power, were all invested in saving Zhi Ning and her son.
The power to protect the king had not increased, but had instead been reduced.
This was because no one would have thought that Zhi Li would assassinate the king. Other than a madman, no one would do such a thing.
…
Li Chenglian only used five griffins, and a total of 22 experts participated in the assassination of the king!
Although there were only 22 of them, they were definitely the most elite force, gathering the elite forces of the Elf Continent and Hidden Island in the Raging Wave Kingdom.
This was because Zhi Li had the support of the Hidden Island Young Master Fang Qingyi and Princess of Elf Continent Wan Wan. Among the assassins to assassinate the king, there were as many as eight or nine people at the level of Zhuang Zhixuan.
The rest were at least experts of the same level as City Lord Tuli, surpassing Yan Nai 'er and Tu Ningchen.
Even the eunuch Li Zhu was not qualified to be on the list of 22 assassins.
Therefore, although the number was small, it was an extremely powerful force of martial arts.
When the five griffins entered the sky above the Raging Wave Kingdom, they were immediately discovered by the patrolling Spirit Masters.
"Who is it? Gao Weng, or the envoy of His Excellency Søren? What's the secret signal? "The patrolling Spirit Masters immediately warned.
Every time the griffins entered the royal airspace, it was either Søren's men or Gao Yin's men. But every time, there was a special secret signal, and it was given by someone who entered the airspace.
But this time, these griffins entered without a sound, making the patrolling Spirit Masters very nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Of course, there was no response from Li Chenglian!
The patrolling Spirit Master was about to blow the horn to alert the people below the royal palace.
But it was too late!
Soon, he felt that his body was completely numb, and he was unable to move or make a sound.
There was an expert, a top-notch Spirit Master expert! They could completely imprison the Spirit Master of the Griffin Knights.
Then, Li Chenglian led the five griffins and quickly landed in the sky above the Purple Jade Palace.
When they were a few hundred meters away from the palace, they were immediately discovered by the Shadow Pavilion experts guarding the Purple Jade Mountain.
"Who are you? Say the secret signal. "
Li Chenglian and the others did not respond.
"Assassins, assassins!"
Instantly, several Spirit Masters issued a warning at the same time!
At the same time, hundreds of Shadow Pavilion Warriors emerged from every corner of the Purple Jade Mountain, rushing madly toward the palace at the top of the Purple Jade Mountain.
"Bam, bam, bam …"
Thick steel plates rose from the doors and windows of the Purple Jade Palace.
Suddenly, the entire Purple Jade Palace was wrapped in thick steel plates, like an impenetrable iron wall.
"Assassins, assassins …"
The entire royal palace was filled with the sound of horns and the ear-piercing sound of gongs.
Then, countless imperial guards surged up like a tide.
…
Li Chenglian and the 22 assassins had just landed when they were surrounded by hundreds of Shadow Pavilion Warriors.
The leader of the Shadow Pavilion Warriors protecting the king was called Gao Fu!
Gao Yin and Gao Yu were called Senior Gao Weng and Junior Gao Weng. They were the leaders of the eunuchs in the Raging Wave Kingdom.
As for Gao Fu, he did not hold any position. His only mission was to protect the king. Only he did not leave the king's side and never showed his face. It was as if he was invisible.
Søren knew of this person, but he had never seen him before!
Gao Fu's gaze fell on Li Chenglian. His gaze was somewhat blank as he asked, "Li Chenglian?"
"You've mistaken me for someone else." Li Chenglian's voice was that of a woman, and he was dressed up.
He had really gone all out in his disguise. Why did he disguise himself as a woman instead of exposing Zhi Li?
Gao Fu did not pursue the matter. He only said calmly, "Kill!"
Immediately, hundreds of Shadow Pavilion Warriors charged forward.
As for Gao Fu, he went straight for Li Chenglian!
This was a very strange battle. It was very quiet and very fast.
The reason why it was quiet was because there were no shouts or screams. There was not even the sound of weapons being swung.
The reason why it was fast was because every movement was very simple. It was straightforward and not complicated at all. However, it was extremely fast, so fast that the naked eye could not see it clearly.
The Dragon Warriors in this world were very precious. Due to the monopoly of martial arts to a certain extent, even a feudal family like Tianshui City only had three Dragon Warriors in total. Suo Long, Suo Hanyi, Yan Nu!
However, the Dragon Warriors in this world were also very worthless.
For example, the Black Ice Manor, the Young Lord Manor, the Shadow Pavilion, the military, and the royal palace.
There were more than a hundred Dragon Warriors in each of these places!
As for the Four Secret Continents and the Dragon Temple, there was no need to talk about their martial arts strength. They had a complete monopoly.
As the only secret organization that the king trusted, the Shadow Pavilion had recruited and nurtured far more than a hundred Dragon Warrior experts in the past ten years!
However, just to protect Søren alone, who knew how many had died.
In this great battle with Zhi Li, another batch had died. In order to save Zhi Ning and her son, another batch had been sent out.
Now, there were less than half of the Dragon Warrior experts protecting the king in the Shadow Pavilion. There were only thirty to forty of them.
Because no one would have thought that Zhi Li would be crazy enough to assassinate the king.
In everyone's opinion, assassinating the king was not only useless, but also courting death.
Now, the hundreds of warriors of the Shadow Pavilion were completely at a disadvantage against the twenty-two assassins led by Li Chenglian!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
The attacks of these twenty-two top experts of the Hidden Island and the Elf Continent were incomparably terrifying.
Their weapons and every part of their bodies were poisoned!
When these experts slashed with their sabers, even if you were not hit, as long as you smelled the strange smell, you would already be poisoned.
As for the warriors of the Shadow Pavilion, it was fine if they stabbed these assassins with their weapons. If they slashed with their palms, as soon as they touched the other party's clothes, their entire hands would rot and melt, and their entire bodies would be paralyzed.
The strange poison of the Elf Continent was impossible to guard against!
In order to support Zhi Li, the Hidden Island had already paid a huge price. They were not willing to let the chips they had paid go to waste. Therefore, even if it was something as crazy as assassinating the king, they still staked everything on one throw to accompany Zhi Li in this crazy gamble.
Besides, even if the matter was exposed and Zhi Li died, what could Søren do to the Hidden Island and the Elf Continent?
Without a sound or trace!
These twenty-two assassins were like ghosts, crazily harvesting the lives of the warriors of the Shadow Pavilion.
On the other hand, Gao Fu was actually evenly matched with Li Chenglian!
Although this person never showed his face and never participated in political affairs, he was an absolute martial arts fanatic.
Li Chenglian was very shocked. This Gao Fu's martial arts actually far surpassed Gao Yu's.
In the night, demons danced wildly!
In just a few minutes, almost all the hundreds of Shadow Pavilion warriors fell to the ground.
As for the expert assassins that Li Chenglian brought, only five died and seven were injured.
At this time, countless imperial guards surged up Purple Jade Mountain like a tide.
"Quick, attack together, kill Gao Fu!" Li Chenglian said.
Instantly, a dozen top experts came forward and surrounded Gao Fu.
"Slash, slash, slash …"
A dozen swords all pierced Gao Fu's body.
Gao Fu stopped and looked at Li Chenglian quietly, "In a one-on-one fight, you may not win against me."
Li Chenglian said, "Yes, Gao Yin is the number one expert in the palace. It's hard to say who is number two between us."
At this time, he did not pretend to be a woman.
Gao Fu said, "We eunuchs are servants of the royal family. We participate in the battle between masters, but killing a master is against the law of heaven. Back then, Big Gao, Little Gao, and I did not do anything. "
"I didn't want to …" Li Chenglian said.
"Slash …" A dozen swords suddenly tore!
Instantly, Gao Fu's body was directly torn into dozens of pieces, dismembered to death.
Almost no one knew the name of this Martial Dao Grandmaster of the Raging Wave Kingdom. Even in death, he did not leave any reputation.
This Martial Dao Grandmaster was very quiet from the beginning to the end.
From the discovery of the assassins to the final death, even his voice did not raise even half an octave.
…
Li Chenglian came to the door of the Purple Jade Palace and reached out to touch.
"Steel plate, three inches thick!"
A Elf Continent expert behind stepped forward and took out a dark blue dagger.
That's right, it was a dagger, about seven inches long.
The Dragon Gold dagger, and it was stained with strange poison!
"Slash …" This Dragon Gold dagger easily pierced into the thick steel plate door and then began to cut.
A minute and a half later!
"Bang!" A loud noise sounded, and a huge hole was cut in the door of the Purple Jade Palace.
At the same time, countless imperial guards had rushed to the top of the mountain and began to fight with Li Chenglian's assassins!
The experts of the Elf Continent, even the experts of the Hidden Island, were the same. Their martial arts were rapidly improved by sorcery and drugs, so their foundation was not stable.
In battle, they were extremely terrifying and sharp, killing people like lightning.
Just now, the hundreds of warriors of the Shadow Pavilion were killed in a few minutes.
But these people were most afraid of a large-scale army. Their foundation was not stable, and their Dragon Power was easily exhausted. And once their Dragon Power was exhausted, and they were entangled by a large-scale army, they would die without a doubt!
"Quick, enter the Purple Jade Palace!" Li Chenglian said.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …" Instantly, the remaining dozen assassins passed through the door and rushed into the Purple Jade Palace!
…
At this time, on the bed in the middle of the palace lay a skinny old man.
Surrounded by gauze curtains, it was difficult to see him clearly.
"This is the king?" Li Chenglian was shocked.
Although the king was not very tall or strong, he was tall and straight, about 177 centimeters.
However, the skinny and stooped old man on the bed was so skinny and small that he looked like a dried up corpse.
After hesitating for half a second, Li Chenglian took out another sword.
The sword specially used to assassinate the king was called Embroidery Needle. It was more than a foot long and as thin as a needle. After stabbing into the body, there was almost no wound.
She walked to the bed, aimed at the heart of the old man on the bed, and stabbed.
"Slash …" Without any obstruction, the other party's heart was directly pierced.
…
At the same time, inside the Fengdu Holy Palace!
Fu Lingxi was playing chess with Zhi Li when she suddenly heard a noise from afar. She immediately rushed to the top of the castle.
It was from the direction of the palace. The alarm was blaring, and fire was shooting into the sky!
Someone was trying to assassinate the king!
Instantly, Fu Lingxi's body trembled, and she could not believe her eyes.
Was Zhi Li crazy? He was trying to assassinate the king?
No one, even if they had the slightest bit of rationality, would do something as stupid as assassinating the king.
Fu Lingxi immediately rushed into the castle and hissed at Zhi Li, "You're crazy, you're completely crazy. You're actually trying to assassinate the king? Even if you kill the king a hundred times, you won't be able to ascend the throne. "
How could Zhi Li not know this? But he had no other choice. Turin Tuo could surrender to Søren at any time, and he could tell Søren about the evil demon bloodline in his body at any time.
Therefore, Zhi Li had no other choice, and chose to assassinate the king, a path that had a slim chance of survival.
After killing the king, he firmly denied that he had anything to do with this matter. Instead, he claimed that it was Søren's scheme.
He would claim that the king had died long ago, and after Søren won, he purposely staged an assassination of the king, and then framed Zhi Li, in order to completely put Zhi Li to death.
Of course, this reason was very ridiculous.
But in this world, there were countless cases of people distorting the truth!
Of course, the most important thing was that Zhi Li still had a hostage in his hands, Søren's biological son.
At that time, even if Søren knew that Zhi Li had the evil demon blood in his body, he would definitely not dare to make it public!
Then, Zhi Li would use the more than ten thousand official soldiers in his hands, and the civil and military officials in King City to forcibly ascend the throne.
Most importantly, he had to obtain the support of the Dragon Temple.
If Holy Priest Geli and Chief Judge Rogge were willing to recognize him as the king, then this matter would be half a success.
Moreover, he had Søren's son in his hands, so Søren would not dare to use force to attack King City.
After forcibly ascending the throne, he only needed to drag it out for a month or two, and the most dangerous period would be over. The feudal vassals and nobles would then take sides again.
After all, all the feudal vassals and nobles were unhappy with Søren.
"Let's go, take me to see Zhi Ning and her son, I should go and get closer to my nephew," Zhi Li said, "Madam Fu Lingxi, you're the child's grandmother, do you want to come with us?"
Zhi Li grinned and followed a Holy Temple monk to the tower where Zhi Ning and her son were imprisoned. He was finally going to break the bottom line of human nature.
