Chapter 400 Playing in the dark under the lights
The imperial city of Yue Kingdom occupies one-fifth of the entire Yuejing city, and one-third of the area is completely occupied by the magnificent Da Nei Palace.
The layers of exquisitely carved palace buildings, countless elegant corridors, and gorgeous gardens decorated with exotic flowers and plants made the entire palace complicated.
Even the eunuchs and palace maids who live here all year round will occasionally have ridiculous things that will admit their mistakes.
As night falls slowly, the huge palace where the eunuchs and palace maids who were supposed to be shuttled back and forth between the palace maids also became more vigilant.
Under the cover of the night, a black shadow quietly sneaked into the palace. Two big hands poked out from the shadow and grabbed a sleeping palace maid, who was unconsciously aware of it.
Ximen Cheng used "Two Full Hands" to check the memories of the palace maids, and after he figured out where the palace where the Emperor of Yue lived, he put the sleeping palace maid back and turned into a black shadow and sneaked towards the palace where the Emperor of Yue was.
The current Yue Kingdom royal family is actually supported by the seven major immortal cultivation sects of Yue Kingdom. The main responsibility is to provide cultivation resources for the seven major immortal cultivation sects and screen genius disciples with spiritual roots.
Therefore, each sect has an unwritten rule. The disciples of the seven sects are strictly prohibited from stepping into the imperial city, in case any sect uses its power to hold the royal family hostage and cause disadvantages to the other six sects.
For hundreds of years, even the disciples of the seven sects were not seen in the imperial city of Yue Kingdom. As long as the emperor of Yue Kingdom did not make any big mistakes of disrespect to the seven sects, the people of the seven sects were completely let go of their freedom.
Moreover, in order to ensure the absolute control of the seven sects over the royal family of Yue Kingdom, each of Yue Emperors is a mortal who has no spiritual roots and cannot practice.
In this way, even if Emperor Yue wants to get rid of the control of the Seven Sects, it will be difficult for him to make effective resistance in just a few decades.
However, Ximen Cheng, who has read the original work, knows that the current Emperor Yue is no longer an ordinary mortal, but a real foundation-building cultivator.
Since the current Emperor Yue is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he must not be the real Emperor Yue, but a cultivator pretending to be.
Judging from the skills practiced by this "Yue Emperor", this person is very likely to have obtained the inheritance of the disciple of Xuangu, which means he is very likely to know the location of the teleportation array leading to the Chaos Star Sea.
Although Ximen Cheng knew that under a spirit stone mine in Yue Kingdom, there was a teleportation array leading to the sea of chaos, he did not know the specific location of the array.
You should know that the Luanxinghai also has many opportunities. When Ximen Cheng has almost plundered the opportunities in Yue Kingdom, he will definitely go to Luanxinghai to take a look, so he must figure out the location of the teleportation array.
Of course! Ximen Cheng did not put all his hopes on this "Yue Emperor". If this guy didn't know where the teleportation array was located, he would have a way to find the teleportation array, which would only take some more time.
"Who..."
"Swish!!!"
Emperor Yue, who was meditating and practicing in the bedroom, saw the figure suddenly walking out of the shadow in the corner of the hall, and his face suddenly changed. However, before he could call someone, he was already fascinated by his eyes emitting red light.
Although Emperor Yue was a master in the late stage of foundation building, his soul power was far less than that of Ximen Cheng. With the blessing of the Manepeditic Sharingan, he could not resist the illusion used by Ximen Cheng.
"Puchi!"
Ximen Cheng bounced his fingers and a translucent silk thread instantly wrapped around Yue Huang's neck, and he cut off his neck with a slight pull.
"Come!"
Instantly killing the fake Queen Yue, Ximen Cheng raised his hand and used "The Detained Spirit" to forcibly enslave his soul.
"Haha~ It's true that's not what I expected."
Ximen Cheng roughly investigated the memory of Emperor Yue and quickly found the information he wanted.
Just as Ximen Cheng guessed, this fake Yue Emperor did know where the teleportation array leading to the Chaos Star Sea was located, and the magical martial arts he practiced were also found there.
The real name of this fake Yue Emperor is Chen Jin. He was originally a disciple of Tianque Castle, one of the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom. His cultivation level was only tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
A few years ago, Chen Jin received a sect mission to guard the spirit stone mine, but in the underground cave of the spirit stone mine, he accidentally discovered an ancient teleportation array and the remains of a cultivator in the alchemy stage.
Because there was a powerful spider monster hidden in the underground cave, Chen Jin did not dare to stay there for a long time. He was lucky enough to steal the monk's storage bag and fled in a hurry.
Afterwards, Chen Jin found several powerful magical techniques and secret techniques from the monk's storage bag.
Judging from the content introduction of these magical skills, as long as Chen Jin practices these magical skills, he can not only quickly break through the foundation building stage, but also break through to the Dan-building stage.
However, these magical skills and secret techniques need to be used to sacrifice other immortals as blood when practicing, and are destined not to be tolerated by the righteous monks.
Chen Jin has an ordinary talent in cultivation. If he does not practice these magical techniques, let alone breaking through the Dan Killing Stage, it will be difficult even if he wants to break through the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Therefore, Chen Jin simply made the illusion of pretending to die, left Tianque Castle, and then sneaked into the imperial city of Yue Kingdom, trying to kill Yue Emperor, and pretending to be Yue Emperor himself.
Chen Jin was originally a disciple of Tianque Castle, so he knew very well the attitude of the seven major parties to the royal family of Yue Kingdom.
Since Chen Jin disguised himself as Emperor Yue, he would pay the cultivation resources needed by the seven major sects on time every year, resulting in the fact that the people of the seven major sects did not realize that Emperor Yue had been dropped.
When Chen Jin successfully replaced Queen Yue, he also took advantage of the power of King Yue to secretly acquire a large number of cultivation resources, and broke through to the foundation-building stage in just one year.
In order to speed up his cultivation progress, Chen Jin secretly gathered a group of casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and used the conditions to help them break through the foundation-building stage as bait to create a sect called the "Black Evil Sect".
But what the Black Evil Sect didn't know was that all the skills they practiced were castrated versions of skills.
Although the help of the blood sacrifice method can quickly break through the cultivation level of those Qi Refining Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation, the Foundation Establishment Period is their end, and they will never be able to form a pill in their life.
The four most powerful blood servants under Chen Jin's command were on the surface, but in fact they were the nutrients he carefully cultivated.
