Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 449 - 319: Transformation Again, Death of the Alcoholic Scholar, Executioner Lin Luo, Beheading the King, Doubts._2

The scholar with a fondness for wine slapped the Jade Talisman, immediately transmitting a message to Yi Chen.

At that very moment, a figure shrouded in sinister purple mist suddenly materialized in the courtyard.

Boom!

A purple claw shadow ruthlessly imprinted itself onto the chest of the scholar.

Simultaneously, the mysterious figure also suffered a direct hit from the scholar’s sword finger.

At this instant, a towering and massive city appeared before the eyes of Lin Luo, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice, and rapidly enlarged.

Feeling the huge commotion from inside the city, Lin Luo’s complexion changed, her jade feet wrapped in purple silk lightly tapped the void, and a strange ripple spread through space. Seeing this, Lin Luo fiercely collided with the ripple and her figure immediately vanished into the spatial undulation, appearing above the courtyard.

….

….

Several measures of tea time earlier.

In the outer palace compound of the Zeyang Royal Palace, the room of Wu Dazhi, the head of the sundry affairs department, had over a dozen figures sprawled haphazardly, with two of them lying naked on the ground.

A tall figure gave Wu Dazhi’s greasy fat face a pat.

"Dazhi, you’re different from the others. You’re a smart man. I, Skycrane, like to talk to smart people,"

"Tell me in detail about His Highness, the Bright King, and those close to him, do not think of hiding anything. Just now, I extracted some quite interesting things from the souls I searched,"

"If the information doesn’t match or something is missing, it could mean death," the tall figure said, a cold glint flashing at the corner of his mouth, as his enormous shadow loomed over a brocade-clad fat man collapsed on the ground.

This towering figure was naturally Yi Chen, without a doubt.

After separating from the scholar, Yi Taoist wandered around everywhere, and finally encountered a procurement officer from the Zeyang Royal Palace in a brothel. Then he used his ability to mimic, replacing others step by step,

After switching out three unfortunate fools, he finally infiltrated the outer palace compound of the Zeyang Royal Palace, into the room of this sundry affairs department head named Wu Dazhi.

Fearing that the Taoist with a thousand cautious thoughts would be deceived, and that memory extraction abilities might omit things, he first intimidated Wu Dazhi into summoning a dozen subordinates to come over. He extracted the memories of the unlucky fellows on the ground first, and then began to interrogate Wu Dazhi.

"Great hero, predecessor, I shall spill everything I know with nothing hidden. However, all I know are just some trivialities of daily affairs,"

The brocade-clad fat man shivered like chaff and his face showed an expression as if mourning the death of his parents.

Just a while ago, he was

the one being ridden by busily bustling men, somewhat plump.

A galloping female rider, as lovely as a flower.

Then, all of a sudden, a strong man claiming to be Skycrane barged in and forcefully plucked and knocked out the flower.

After this ordeal, he feared that he might be impotent in the future.

"Just speak freely; whether it’s useful or not, I, Skycrane, have my own judgment,"

Yi Chen looked at Wu Dazhi’s fat face, a profoundly unfathomable smile emerged on his face.

What he was looking for was indeed someone like Wu Dazhi, a lackey who had carved out a small position for himself in the Zeyang Royal Palace after many years.

According to the Six Degrees of Separation theory, every person in the world can be connected to any other person through a chain of at most six acquaintances.

Since Yi Chen was already inside the Zeyang Royal Palace, it was naturally even more accurate.

These people like Wu Dazhi might seem useless and of low power, but the information they control is immeasurable, depending entirely on whether someone has the discerning eye to mine that information.

These servants, especially the servant leaders who have made their way to the top in such a dog-eat-dog environment, each and every one of them is shrewd.

The ones who aren’t clever, who lack insight, are already dead.

In the torrent of the secular world, it’s already quite difficult just to stand firm; to stand out is even harder than scaling the heavens.

This group of people has a particularly accurate grasp of the way the wind blows.

Flattery and disparagement at just the right moments are merely elementary tactics; only those servants who can accurately judge their masters’ intentions can truly thrive.

In the deep courtyards of the palace, sometimes a reward isn’t really a reward, a punishment isn’t really a punishment, and it’s even more necessary to figure out which people can’t be offended and get them lined up properly.

Wu Dazhi was a king of guile crafted from this group of shrewd people.

For some reason, Yi Chen always felt there was something odd about the disappearance of cultivators in Zeyang City.

The oddity was that everything seemed a bit too smooth for him.

Therefore, he wanted to seek some clues from those closely associated with Ming Wang, after all, disciplining a child on a rainy day was just as well since there was nothing else to do.

"You mean that aside from the deceased chief steward, His Highness Ming Wang’s favorite concubines are Fairy Mu He and Fairy Bi Lian, with whom he often shares his bed. But now, Fairy Bi Lian is even more favored and Fairy Mu He’s influence is waning?"

"Indeed." Wu Dazhi thought for a moment, then privately added a few more names of people who had frequent contact with Ming Wang.

Yi Chen stroked his chin, thinking that Wu Dazhi was quite honest; he also understood that the beautiful cultivator Ming Wang had embraced during the day was the so-called Fairy Mu He.

Yi Chen couldn’t help but inhale sharply at the thought.

If the less favored Fairy Mu He already looked like that, what about the still unseen Fairy Bi Lian?

"Perhaps it’s worth seizing the opportunity for a night raid? No, that’s not right, a night attack?"

Yi Chen was indecisive; concubines were not like Wu Dazhi, a mere servant, they would definitely be heavily guarded, with many formations and prohibitions around their living quarters.

After pondering for a while, Yi Chen decided to drop the idea.

Time was too tight and there was no need to startle the snake. After all, he had already found out the positions of several treasure chambers within Zeyang Royal Palace.

When the time came for him and his companions like Jiu Ru to besiege Ming Wang, and chaos arose, Miao Zi could sneak into the treasure chamber and "accidentally" swallow up some riches. Just a bit would be enough.

He, Yi Taoist, was known for being bright and cheerful, so it was all just an accident by Miao Zi, and there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Yi Chengzi couldn’t do this supporting job for nothing, he had to earn something.

Yet he still took to heart the names Wu Dazhi had mentioned and secretly noted them down.

"Well, let’s first see if that Saintly Mirror of Heart’s Inquiry Jiu Ru mentioned is truly that incredible."

Just as Yi Chen was about to leave, a powerful fluctuation suddenly erupted from somewhere within the city. A few lines of information came through on the Jade Talisman, and Yi Chen’s face instantly turned pale.

The direction of that explosion was shockingly where Jiu Ru was temporarily residing.

Immediately, he activated his Extreme Origin, rushing toward the source of the sound.

No longer concealing his figure and with his ferocious aura unleashed, Yi Chen reached the scene in mere seven or eight breaths.

At that moment, a tall elder with blood scattered across the sky had a massive hole blown through his chest, evidently not long for this world, while mysterious shadows flickered, and someone immediately fled far away through the air. A purple-haired, purple-eyed girl emerged from a space in the distance.

"Damn." Yi Chen focused his gaze, activating his ability only to find that it had no effect this time.

At that moment, Lin Luo, looking at the fleeing shadow, coldly pulled out something from her bosom that looked like a black-and-white sphere and a golden token, and threw it forcefully into the sky.

"The Yin-Yang Godly Wind Cover, activate!"

"The City-Protection Array, arise!"

In an instant, the great walls of Zeyang City burst forth with a bright golden glow, tightly wrapping around the entire city like a golden egg. Beneath the golden barrier glinted black-and-white light, the transformation of the black-and-white sphere.

The Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice, Lin Luo, held a golden token that granted her higher authority to command the city’s great array, of course, except for Xianyang.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the massive light barrier in the sky, the figure of the mysterious shadow faltered and dove head-first toward the ground, disappearing in an instant.

"Bold move, where do you think you’re escaping to!"

"Yin and Yang bring forth life, the myriad things bloom like flying flowers!"

The purple-haired girl was suddenly surrounded by a ring of purple laurel, and with a burst of speed, she relentlessly gave chase.

Before long, hounded by Yi Chen and the purple-haired girl, with no path to the skies and no door into the earth, the mysterious person entered a dark canopy and disappeared without a trace.

"Daoist Lin Luo, let us join forces to break this formation!"

Yi Chen’s dominant form was revealed, and the "Original Force" Holy Halberd suddenly appeared in his hand. With such a distinctive appearance, he immediately recognized the individual’s origin, shockingly, it was the strong support mentioned by Jiu Ru, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice, Lin Luo.

The Overlord raises his halberd, judging the earth, punishing the heavens!

A massive burst of halberd light slammed onto the purple pearl above the dark canopy.

The fierce winds storm the skies, the energy dances through the heavens.

Lin Luo, like a tempest goddess, fluttered in the air, with her purple hair flying and her sleeves billowing. Her bare hands emerged from her robe, waving black-and-white streams of light as if she were a humanoid cannon, furiously rampant.

"Damn, what a fierce lady!" Yi Chen couldn’t help but inhale sharply once again.

Under the violent onslaught of the two, the dark canopy soon began to crack piece by piece.

On the eerie black rocky ground, Ming Wang sat solemnly in his golden dragon robe, positioned high atop a throne of bones.
