Volume 4: Holy Capital Tribulation Chapter 255: Long time no see
What?
This was beyond Xu Zun's expectations.
Logically speaking, these assassins must find the Queen Mother as soon as possible, as speed is of the essence.
But why is this woman not in a hurry at all?
Xu Zun was good at thinking, and he immediately thought, did the other party have any backup plan?
Or, are they just mobilizing such a large force as a bait to buy us time?
The key point is... where is the Queen Mother now?
"Ani ," the elegant woman smiled coldly and called out to Xu Zun from behind, "What? You see me, but you don't even come over to say hello?"
Hearing this, Ani trembled and had to lower her head and walk out from behind the crowd.
"Ani..." She bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Taoist Master!"
"What?" The elegant woman called Daozun's eyes darkened and asked, "Have you even forgotten the etiquette of our Xuanmen?"
The so-called Xuanmen etiquette is their complicated gestures.
"this……"
Ani was suddenly embarrassed. If she made gestures again, it would mean that she was also a member of the Xuanmen, which would obviously affect the emotions of everyone present and would be detrimental to Xu Zun.
However, facing this woman, Annie had an innate fear and subconsciously raised her hands.
However, when his hands were raised to mid-air, they were grabbed by Xu Zun.
"I'm sorry," Xu Zun said to the female Taoist, "Ani is now my maid, and is no longer a member of your Xuanmen."
"Oh?" The female Taoist smiled slightly and shouted in a commanding tone, "Ani, kill this arrogant guy for me!"
"I...I..." Annie naturally would not obey. She immediately blushed and trembled.
“Hahahaha…” The female Taoist suddenly laughed, “Ani, although you have a stunning appearance, you have suffered humiliation and torture since childhood.
"I saw that you and I had the same experience, so I took you in out of kindness, taught you martial arts, and raised you. I love you so much, can you really bear to betray me?"
Hearing this soul-searching question, Ani's cheeks trembled and her eyes were dull, as if she was under tremendous mental pressure.
"Have you forgotten what I said?" The female Taoist priest asked again, "Have you forgotten what those people did to you? Have you forgotten your hatred for this world?"
"Hey!" Xu Zun shouted, "That's enough, don't think I don't know, you are giving me a psychological hint!"
As he spoke, Xu Zun held Ani tightly in his arms and said, "If you really care about her, you should respect her choice!
"Think about it carefully. You let a little girl like this work for you. You are just using her as a tool!"
After saying that, Xu Zun pushed Ani to the back, and Huo Anu immediately protected Ani.
"Okay, okay," the female Taoist looked at Xu Zun and smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the new envoy Xu Zun they are talking about, right?"
"It's me," Xu Zun said, clasping his hands together. "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. May I ask who you are..."
“Hehe, the Supreme Xuan will destroy the dissenters and all the gods will return to their origin. Cut off the nine gates above and destroy the flatterers below…” The female Taoist suddenly recited the Xuanmen’s mantra.
After he finished reading it, many assassins followed up in unison, "Mysterious with a Dao, infinite mystery; mysterious without Dao, will surely suffer a heavenly calamity!"
"Xu Zun," the female Taoist said, "The incident in Shangyuan City was ruined because of you, but I never thought that you would catch up to the Holy City so quickly!
"However, today..." She said with a fierce look in her eyes, "Don't think that you can ruin my good deeds!"
"Really?" Xu Zun asked tentatively, "Isn't it already broken? You have fallen into my trap. Do you think you can see the Queen Mother today?"
"I admit that you are indeed one step faster than I thought, but," the female Taoist said fiercely, "the Heavenly Tribulation Plan is perfect. In fact, you mortals can see through it?"
After saying that, she walked straight to a stone pillar and reached out to press down on one of the dragon claws on the pillar.
On the walls on both sides of the main hall of Wanfu Palace, there are sixteen statues of Xuandao, all of whom are immortals in Xuandao legends.
When the Taoist goddess used her dragon claws, one of the statues suddenly opened, revealing a secret room with lights on behind it.
And in the secret room, a middle-aged woman wearing a phoenix robe and a pearl crown on her head suddenly appeared.
ah!!?
ah……
When they first saw this woman, Xu Zun and others were instantly shocked. This person was none other than the Holy Queen Mother of the Great Xuan Dynasty - Lin Xuan!
Her real name is Lin Ziniang, and Lin Xuan is the Taoist name she gave herself.
Xu Zun finally understood what had happened. It must be that after Empress Dowager Lin learned that Wanfu Palace was attacked, she quietly hid in the secret room of this hall.
I have to say, this is indeed a brilliant idea that no one could have thought of.
After the enemies rushed into Wanfu Palace, they would only think that Empress Dowager Lin would hide in the living quarters at the back, and they would never have imagined that she was hiding in the front hall.
As long as they can't find Empress Dowager Lin, Xuanmen's heavenly tribulation plan will fail.
However... this time, Xu Zun could never have imagined that this mere Taoist master of Xuanmen could actually calculate where the Empress Dowager Lin was hiding. Could it be that... there was an undercover Xuanmen agent even around the Empress Dowager Lin?
The secret room is located right in the middle of the hall, surrounded by Xuanmen assassins.
Now, if they all rush forward together, Queen Mother Lin will surely die!
Seeing this, the eyes of several Qilin Guards turned red, and they immediately wanted to rush over to protect the emperor regardless of their own safety. However, how could those Xuanmen assassins let them do as they wished? They immediately stopped them and started fighting again.
“Hahaha…” The female Taoist turned around and slowly walked towards Queen Mother Lin, saying, “Today is a special day. I expected that you would hold a memorial ceremony in Wanfu Palace, so I set the heavenly tribulation for today.
“Zi Niang…” She came to the other side of Empress Dowager Lin and said sadly, “We finally meet again. It feels like I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life!”
“No wonder…” Empress Dowager Lin is worthy of being the helmsman of Daxuan. Facing so many Xuanmen assassins, she is not afraid at all and said seriously, “Xuanmen is so familiar with me! It turns out that it is you…
"Xiang'er...it's been such a long time!"
Zi Niang, Xiang Er...
Everyone was shocked to realize that after all the commotion, this female Taoist master and Empress Dowager Lin were old acquaintances.
"As expected of you, you are the Iron-Fisted Queen Mother of Daxuan," said the female Taoist master called Xiang'er, "Since you know it was me, you should know what will happen to you today, right?"
"Xiang'er..." Queen Mother Lin said expressionlessly, "After all these years, your personality hasn't changed at all!"
"Did you think I died in the Yuanzhou Desert?" The female Taoist's eyes flashed with resentment and hatred, "You never thought that I not only survived, but also became the Taoist of Xuanmen!
"Eighteen years ago, you took everything from me, and today I will take everything from you!"
"Yes, I really can't think of it," Empress Dowager Lin Xu Heng said sternly, "but I know you, you can't accomplish this great task alone!
"Tell me, who is that person standing behind you?!"
