Before Cao Ziyu could react, the dozen or so followers following him all moved. The terrifying power of Tao Yun and the power of vitality burst out. The terrifying energy turned into a solid barrier to protect him.
In the center, almost at the same time, more than a dozen bright sword lights went straight to attack in the direction of the attack.
"Sword Three!"
Amidst the shouting, the bright sword light suddenly changed direction in mid-air and struck diagonally towards the follower next to him.
The speed of the change of tactics was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that the sneak attacker's target at the beginning was not Cao Ziyu!
puff!
The two followers who were in the third realm of Ning Yuan were cut into two pieces almost instantly, and then the shrill screams rose into the sky.
The rest of the followers suddenly changed their colors and mobilized the power of Dao Yun to suppress the figure, but saw him retreating and throwing down a handful of smoke bombs!
"Damn it! Protect the prince!" The follower ignored the pursuit and quickly shrank to the center, protecting Cao Ziyu from all directions without any blind spots.
"Thieves who usurp the throne! Anyone who finds it will kill him!"
As soon as the shout rang out, the followers became more and more nervous. The strong man in the Yun Dao Realm rolled up the power of Dao Yun. In an instant, the world became clear. However, he was depressed to find that both the attacker and the girl who was about to be molested had already lost their lives.
Lost traces.
"Asshole! It must be that kid Li Jifeng!" Cao Ziyu's face turned livid with anger. This was the third time he was attacked in the past two days. Even if he had a group of Yun Dao realm classmates beside him, he could escape the attackers every time.
.
"Junior brother, why should you be angry? Li Jifeng's father and the woman he admires have been arrested. It is reasonable for them to come to cause trouble. But what kind of trouble can he cause by coming alone? Those crazy people from Tianjian Peak did not come. It should be a blessing.
Yes!" A follower at the second level of Yun Dao next to him laughed.
Cao Ziyu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Since this boy only has himself, there is nothing to worry about. It's just a pity that Murong Wan'er's bitch father won't let him move, otherwise he will be given a green hat."
The disciple of the second level of Yun Dao smiled evilly and said: "Junior brother, I don't know. According to the elders of Zuntian Dao Palace, Murong Wan'er and her sister possess the rare dragon and phoenix holy bodies. Only by sacrificing their perfect bodies to heaven can they receive the gift.
If it wasn't for this, do you think you would have taken advantage of her?"
"Forget it, let's not say these disappointing things. There are some girls over there who are not bad. Take them back!" Cao Ziyu's eyes lit up and he pointed at a few girls in the distance who were escaping in a hurry.
Several people moved their index fingers and rushed towards them like wolves and tigers. The girls were so frightened that they screamed and ran away. The attendants who were guarding them stood up bravely and said in a trembling voice: "Prince, these are the imperial censors."
Can your family members..."
"Go to hell! Be careful, I will kill all of you!" Cao Ziyu's eyes widened, and his follower kicked him out, and took him away regardless of the girls' struggles and screams.
Seeing the people walking away, the people walking on the street were all filled with hatred, but they could do nothing to him, so they shook their heads and dispersed with a bitter smile.
In a private house on the street, Li Jifeng gently put the girl down and frowned: "It's been a bit chaotic outside recently, so it's better to go out less often."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave. A look of hesitation flashed through the girl's beautiful eyes. Seeing that he was about to disappear from sight, she quickly shouted lightly: "Your Excellency, are you Marshal Li's son?"
"Huh?" Li Jifeng was stunned, stopped and turned to look at her.
The girl quickly trotted up and said softly: "The little girl's father is a guard in the palace. He once had the honor to meet Marshal Li. He once brought back a letter saying that he wanted to give it to Young Master Li."
"Are you serious?" Li Jifeng's eyes lit up. He couldn't stand Cao Ziyu's evil deeds, so he rescued a girl along the way, but he got such an unexpected reward.
The girl nodded slightly and said timidly: "The little girl's home is in the courtyard at the corner of the street. If my benefactor is trustworthy, please go over and talk to me."
Li Jifeng nodded and followed the girl back home. The courtyard was not big but was kept relatively clean, with shiny stone locks placed in the corners.
At noon, the door bolt rang, and a middle-aged man with a Chinese character opened the door and walked in. He saw a girl coming up to her quickly and whispered a few words. His expression changed involuntarily, and he quickly looked around cautiously.
After a quick look, she closed the courtyard door when she saw no one was following her, and quickly took her into the house.
"I have met Mr. Li in Lu Zhantang. Thank you very much for your help!" the middle-aged man said sincerely, cupping his fists.
Li Jifeng said impatiently: "No need to be polite, where is my father's letter?"
Lu Zhantang bent down and pried up a floor tile in the hall, took out a letter wrapped in kraft paper and handed it to him.
Li Jifeng unwrapped the brown paper and found that he had drawn a portrait of himself on the envelope. Although it was hasty but sharp and angular, it was similar to himself. It was probably his father who made it easier for them to identify him.
Opening the letter, he read it hastily and couldn't help but suddenly changed his mind. His father's defeat and capture this time was not as simple as it seemed, but a series of poisonous schemes!
Bibo Palace was not the only one who stepped forward to defeat the million-strong army. Zuntian Dao Palace also participated, sending twenty strong men from the Yun Dao Realm, including a strong man from the Fourth Yun Dao Realm to take charge.
They were all hidden in black cloaks. After defeating a million-strong army and capturing Li Jifeng's seriously injured father, they thought he had fainted and then inadvertently revealed their identities in casual conversation.
It is said that this time, one is to recover the Dragon and Phoenix Sacred Body, and the other is to wait for Shi Tian Sect to send people to rescue. If evidence of Shi Tian Sect's action is caught, Zun Tiandao Palace will have the excuse to unite with the forces of the entire southern barbarian region to encircle and suppress!
Lu Zhantang was greatly favored by the late emperor and took great care of Murong Wan'er and him, so he allowed him to take the opportunity to bring out this secret letter. Finally, Marshal Li repeatedly warned, "The thieves are powerful, and we must not take any risks just because we are in danger."
Dragging down the sect!”
Li Jifeng's fingers trembled slightly after reading it. The letter instantly turned into powder, but the fighting spirit in his eyes became stronger. His lover and father were both captured. If he just lives in an ignoble way, how is he any different from an animal?
"Young Master, listen to the next words. At this time, the palace is already a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Even if we come in and out, we will be interrogated many times. We must not put ourselves in danger. It is better to listen to the old marshal's words and return to Shi Tianzong, so as to stay with the Li family.
A descendant." Lu Zhantang persuaded him bitterly.
Li Jifeng waved his hand and said seriously: "Thank you, Your Excellency. I am just a human son. If I don't save my father in danger, it would be unfilial. A million sons died for my selfish thoughts. Not avenging this revenge is unjust. My lover is trapped and retreating."
, is this what a man does? As for the sect, when I left the sect this time, I already announced my withdrawal from the sect and will have nothing to do with the Shitian Sect from now on."
Seeing that he had no intention of wavering, Lu Zhantang gritted his teeth and said, "My dear, if that's the case, I know a secret passage that will allow you to sneak into the palace and meet Marshal Li and others from a distance. However, they are covered with many traps.
It is forbidden and must not be approached or touched easily, otherwise it will attract strong men who ambush and have no chance of escape."
"I have my own sense of discretion. I'd like to trouble you to arrange it. I'll leave this money for the two of you to escape and settle down." Li Jifeng said, taking out two treasure bags from his arms and handing them over.
Lu Zhantang did not refuse and reached out to take the treasure bag and handed it to his daughter. He said seriously: "You will go to my uncle's house later and let him take you to Dahua Palace to avoid the limelight."
"Dad...what are you doing?" Miss Lu asked with a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.
"No matter what happens this time, it will make the old thief Cao Zhen furious, and it will inevitably affect Chiyu. You go and be a father first and then you will come." Lu Zhantang comforted softly.
After much persuasion, Miss Lu left, and she and her old uncle left the city gate and headed straight for Dahua Dynasty...
Li Jifeng watched all this in silence without saying anything. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to adjust himself to the best condition.
As night fell, Lu Zhantang said respectfully: "Master Li, this is the location map of the secret passage. You can wear the clothes below and go to the street. In this way, you can sneak into the palace and meet with a few people. You must not take action easily. If you want to rescue
The only chance is that there will be a public worship ceremony in three days. At that time, the princes, ministers, and people of Kyoto will go to watch the ceremony, and you will have a greater chance of success if you mix in among them."
"I understand that you should also leave and take refuge." Li Jifeng smiled gratefully.
The strong wind knows the strong grass and the loyal ministers are stirred up. Lu Zhantang is just a small guard. Being able to do this makes him extremely satisfied. Half a quarter of an hour after he left, Li Jifeng put on his clothes and walked out.
Even though it was already late at night, there were still groups of soldiers patrolling on the street. Li Jifeng even felt a lot of tyrannical aura among them. There was no doubt that the powerful men from Bibo Palace and Zuntian Dao Palace were hidden among them.
Using the badge of Lu Zhantang's royal guard, Li Jifeng had an unimpeded journey to a firewood shed outside the palace. After entering, he moved the firewood according to the instructions and moved it rhythmically against the wall more than a dozen times. The wall moved quietly.
It fell down, revealing a dark mezzanine.
Li Jifeng got in, used his vitality to restore the outside to the original state, and walked straight to the depths of the palace along the underground passage. After walking for about half an hour, he finally came to the exit of the tunnel, a rockery in the backyard of the palace.
After confirming that there was no danger, Li Jifeng quietly jumped out and hid behind a boulder. There were three people tied up in the brightly lit inner courtyard square in the distance. They were his father and Murong Wan'er's sister and brother!
At this moment, the three of them looked haggard, with their heads hanging limply. Sitting cross-legged around them were at least twenty disciples of the fourth realm of Ning Yuan, as well as hundreds of golden sword guards at the peak of the Chen Martial Realm.
"Brother Huang, the grand master said that the emperor and the emperor's sister and princess cannot move for the time being. How about we take a marshal from the Great China Kingdom to relieve our boredom?" A guard with a golden sword said with an evil smile.
The guard surnamed Huang said disdainfully: "This old guy is really protective. Just to help his son save a daughter-in-law who has not yet passed away, he actually sent out a million troops to scare people. It's okay to deal with him. Old Seven, you go get the soldering iron."
Come, let’s play with him.”
When Li Jifeng heard this, his eyes turned red instantly!
