The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 258: Setting foot in the capital
Capital city.
It was late at night and the moon was dim.
Under the bright moonlight, two figures suddenly appeared from the darkness like ghosts.
The two people were none other than Eunuch Liu and Bai Yujing who retreated from Luoyang City.
They were covered in dust and did not dare to stop for a moment after leaving Luoyang. They ran thousands of miles and rushed straight back to the capital.
At this moment, the news has not yet been transmitted back, so they want to take this opportunity to make a last attempt .
Bai Yujing's face was filled with murderous intent, and his eyes were looking straight towards the direction of the imperial city. He did not defeat Li Muchan, but if he could arrange everything in advance before the emperor returned, he might still have a chance of winning.
Moreover, with Eunuch Liu here, he has great power in the court and can intimidate all officials in the capital. He can do a lot without any soldiers.
However, when Bai Yujing saw Eunuch Liu's face, body, and heard his voice, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
If he didn't know the other party's previous identity, he might not have been so angry, but especially seeing this androgynous eunuch always acting shy and embarrassed, Bai Yujing felt that it was more torturous than swallowing ten thousand needles.
I don’t know if it was Bai Yujing’s illusion, but on the way back, even the way this person looked at him seemed to have changed strangely.
But for the sake of the grand plan and to reverse the situation, he had no choice but to face the challenge and walk side by side with this monster.
The moonlight was as bright as frost and snow as the two men rose and fell beneath it. Eunuch Liu's eyes flickered as he soothed them, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. With me here, not even the Emperor can touch you. I will definitely help you regroup. Together, we will rise again and avenge our grievances."
The man's voice was clearly pleasant to the ears, but Bai Yujing felt his hands and feet go cold after hearing it.
The other party seems to be even more evil.
Not only did his appearance change drastically, but his character also changed.
Bai Yujing felt that he had never been so frightened before when facing Li Muchan. He forced himself to smile and said, "What should we do now?"
A sinister wind was raging around Eunuch Liu's body, causing water vapor to gather and rise. From a distance, it looked like a cloud of smoke covering the two of them, wrapping them up and chasing each other under the moon. They looked like fairies riding on clouds, which was extraordinary and magical.
Bai Yujing watched, thinking to himself, "To be honest, even though this person has become a bit strange, his strength is unfathomable and unimaginable. He is definitely a powerful backer."
Eunuch Liu smiled charmingly, "Don't panic, Your Highness. Let's go to my residence first, and then to the Leopard Pavilion. If Li Muchan hadn't taken away 40% of the power of those six people, the victory or defeat in the battle of Luoyang would be uncertain. Right now, I can use the men and women of the Leopard Pavilion to make up for this loss. Once my Divine Water Art is fully developed, I will be able to transform from Yin to Yang and move on to the Wedding Clothes Art."
Bai Yujing was surprised when he heard this and asked, "You want to practice the Wedding Dress Skill?"
Eunuch Liu said without disguising anything, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but I discovered this martial art by chance, and it was derived from the Wedding Dress Divine Art. The two, one yin and one yang, complement each other. By practicing this art first, you can avoid the painful burning of the Wedding Dress Divine Art, and you won't have to pass on your power to others. Once you achieve mastery, the yin and yang will complement each other, like water and fire. By then, I will be in a position to disregard Li Muchan, not to mention Li Xunhuan. Even if Shen Tianjun were still alive, I wouldn't even care about him."
Bai Yujing's mind was horrified when he heard this. He said in disbelief, "But the Wedding Dress Divine Art requires daily accumulation of power to achieve its full potential."
Eunuch Liu smiled slyly and whispered, "Now I'm almost at the point where yin gives birth to yang. I don't need to be bound by the distinction between yin and yang anymore and can absorb anyone's power. Although this capital is still dangerous, it's full of experts, enough for me to improve my power in a short period of time."
Finally, he added, "Right now, the only thing left for all eight extraordinary meridians in my body to be opened is the Chong Meridian. As long as I open this meridian, any martial arts practice I do will be twice as effective with half the effort, and will be beyond ordinary."
The two of them talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at Eunuch Liu's mansion.
At this moment, the house was still brightly lit.
Although Eunuch Liu is a eunuch and has no offspring, he has many adopted sons, and these people have different identities, which is the confidence for their last fight.
Eunuch Liu sneaked in quietly and went straight to the magnificent main hall.
Everyone in the hall sat together, their faces as solemn as water, as if waiting for something, and no one spoke.
Of course, they were waiting for the news that Eunuch Liu would send back, such as the news of the victory in the battle of Luoyang.
Since they are determined to start a rebellion, the capital city naturally has to make preparations for the rebellion and leave some means to ensure that there will be no mistakes.
Unfortunately, the news did not come back, but the person did.
Seeing Eunuch Liu and Bai Yujing walk into the hall, the group of people couldn't help but be stunned.
They did not recognize Eunuch Liu, but they recognized Bai Yujing.
Everyone frowned and took a deep breath. Just as they were about to ask questions, they heard Eunuch Liu clear his throat and said, "Ahem, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"
A group of people looked at each other, and I felt that this person's clothes looked familiar, but I had no impression of him at all.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Eunuch Liu laughed instead of getting angry. He laughed so hard that his body shook and he swayed back and forth like a madman. "Do you really not recognize our family?"
Upon hearing this, more than a dozen pairs of eyes froze for a moment, and then suddenly widened in shock.
Almost at the same time, these people suppressed their fear and terrified hearts. Without any hesitation, they slid down from their chairs and crawled in front of Eunuch Liu. They bowed their heads and said respectfully, "My son greets my godfather!"
The scene looked a bit weird, as if a group of grown men were all calling a woman "godfather".
Eunuch Liu walked past the crowd , sat at the head seat, and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, stand up."
The group of people felt as if they had been pardoned, and they stood up carefully and sat aside.
They also had some guesses in their minds. The two men were covered in dust and secretly returned to the capital, which meant that something unexpected happened in the battle in Luoyang.
Nine times out of ten, you will lose.
Eunuch Liu narrowed his eyes as he scanned his godsons and whispered, "This situation is urgent, so I won't say much. We'll just be back with the two of us. You should immediately gather your trusted subordinates and prepare to enter the palace for a final fight."
"yes!"
The group of people looked solemn and nodded in response without any hesitation.
These people knew full well if the tree fell, it would not simply scatter like monkeys, but would crush them to pieces, leaving them with no hope of recovery. Since they were all going to die, they had to fight tooth and nail. If they won, they would enjoy endless wealth and glory; if they lost, they would only die.
Eunuch Liu smiled with satisfaction, and gently pressed a certain position on the armrest of the wooden chair. Suddenly, a huge mural on the wall slowly retracted, revealing the secret passage inside.
The secret passage slanted into the ground, about three or two feet deep, and the entrance was a round archway.
Eunuch Liu flicked his sleeve and blew a gust of wind, which landed on the door, and the archway slowly opened.
Then, under the light, a ball of jewels and gems that was so rich that it was difficult to describe fell out.
Everyone was shocked to see that there was actually a treasure mountain hidden underneath, filled with all kinds of rare and precious treasures from all over the world.
And in the very center, there was a piece of clothing held up by a jade frame, gently fluttering in the breeze.
Everyone's breathing quickened.
The clothes were bright yellow in color and embroidered with dragon patterns. It was obviously a dragon robe.
Eunuch Liu said in a deep voice, "Except for that dress, you may take whatever else you wish... Life is like a game of chess; once you make a move, there is no regret. The fate of the game will be revealed only after we take this final step."
※※※
At the same time, outside the capital.
Under the bright moon, suddenly a figure appeared in the distance with his arms stretched out. His body seemed to be swirling with flowing clouds. He came from afar in the air without touching the ground, shocking the world. Then he flew up a steep mountain, stood on the top, and overlooked the huge capital.
"Is this the capital?"
