Volume Three: The Xuanwu Gate Incident – Chapter 121: The Black Armor Garrison
When Li Xuanba heard that his second brother had fallen unconscious, he was consumed by anxiety. He spurred his horse onward and raced toward the Black-Armored Army camp outside Chang’an, taking with him more than a dozen registered disciples from the village. He intended to stabilize the situation. If matters truly proved impossible to resolve, he might have no choice but to rely on these eight hundred Black-Armored soldiers to fight their way into the city, rescue Li Shimin, and establish an independent stronghold.
They rode without pause, hurrying as fast as they could, and at last reached the Tang army camp outside Chang’an.
The Great Tang followed a policy of strengthening the central authority while weakening the regional branches. The armies of the Sixteen Guards were stationed in a ring around the capital, protecting the imperial city.
As the Qin King’s personal troops, the Black-Armored Army naturally had to be stationed outside the city alongside the armies of the Sixteen Guards. Without an imperial order, they were forbidden to enter the city on their own.
The camp was located at Chang...
Between the Divine Emperor Realm and the Supreme Realm lay an unimaginably vast gulf, a heavenly chasm impossible to cross. Without the corresponding Dao fruition, even one possessing the necessary strength would find it difficult to emerge unscathed from the Divine Emperor Tribulation.
The other figure shot out like lightning, making straight for the people from the various sects in the distance.
Li Chensha visualized the Kunpeng Flight Diagram. The Sea Saint Soul in his sea of consciousness released a surge of spiritual power, and beneath the Divine Golden Crow Wings, another pair of blue wings several yards long unfurled.
“Since the Zhao Kingdom has shown no sincerity, what is there left to discuss? Let us part ways here.” As he spoke, he actually began driving them away. He himself had already risen and was preparing to leave.
Could this be the junior brother of the Abbot who had disappeared for several decades? The thought lingered uncertainly in everyone’s minds.
Li Chensha stood upon the water, clad in an ancient and imposing Vajra Battle Armor, holding a Sky-Piercing Halberd as he calmly awaited the arrival of the insect army.
Lei Jian nodded and said solemnly, “Commander Li and Old Sun both believe that the forward command post should be moved farther ahead. I have been thinking the same thing.”
That soul-stirring voice once again emerged from beneath the earth, though no figure appeared. Its words were clearly directed at Qinglin.
As the purple fluid seeped into General Headquarters, the giant octopus quickly corroded every defensive system within the entire complex. Moreover, every fluctuation of energy from any living creature inside its “body” lay within the range of the giant octopus’s sensory organs.
“As long as you cooperate, neither I nor my warriors will take your life. But if you refuse to behave, I cannot promise what will happen.” Lei Jian’s voice was stern.
She had weathered countless storms and raging waves without ever becoming so panicked. Yet now she had witnessed a black serpent speaking with its own mouth. How could she not be astonished?
“Treatment? Well, I’m from the auxiliary branch of magic—a healer...” Rabbit weakly answered from behind Lian. She had probably just finished eating and happened to walk past when she heard them.
But by then, it was too late to say anything. All they could do was place their hopes in the Alchemy Emperor Qianyuan.
“Is that so...” As he spoke, he began searching his phone for information about Shengpeng Group.
On the surface, Lu Dongfang had displayed tremendous power, blocking the enemy’s devastating sneak attack head-on. Yet no one noticed that when he withdrew his left hand into his sleeve, a drop of blood fell.
If she got the chance, she really ought to meet her and see for herself—perhaps even help assess the man. Her junior sister had never been in love before. Though she looked bold and formidable on the outside, she was actually exceedingly innocent at heart.
Judging by the time, dawn was not far away. Before daylight arrived, Yun Hao had to refine some healing pills for Xin Yuan.
“Pfft.” Naturally, the fellow in front had not resisted at all. After all, he did not even understand what he himself wanted to do, so he had no intention whatsoever of opposing what he was doing. Besides—
“I’m grateful that you understand me. Suman, I came here today to tell you that I’ve decided not to leave with you.” Qingyun said this while looking directly into Susa Suman’s eyes.
The chairman of the Cloudsea Chamber of Commerce, Ji Chenggong, had arrived early at the parking lot with the chamber’s potbellied executives and was waiting there.
Lin Muyuhang up ended the call. He simply could not think of any reason why Dai Mengyao would be together with Chen Naixi.
