C178

Still a distance away from the palace, Tang Yin pulled on the reins and stopped.

Cheng Jin and the rest did not understand what happened, and all of them moved closer to him and asked: Master, what's wrong?

Tang Yin raised his head, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "You all cannot follow me into the palace, and you all cannot enter either. Wait for me on the west side of the palace, I will come out from there, and then we will meet up again!"

"Yes, my lord!" Cheng Jin promised, and then said: "Master must be careful."

"The same goes for you all. Do not be discovered by the guards patrolling around the palace!"

"Understood!"

Tang Yin broke up with Cheng Jin and the others and went to the main entrance of the palace on his own.

Zhong Tian was someone who had killed his way to the throne, he was afraid that he would be hit by the same move too, so he placed great importance on the security of the palace. Although the entire palace wasn't as big as it used to be when facing a strong enemy, it was still filled with sentries and secret sentries, and patrols of palace guards could be seen everywhere.

Right now, Tang Yin's clone had changed back to Zhong Sang's appearance, and when he reached the palace, it was as though he was really at home, swaggering inwards.

Just as he was about to enter the palace gates, he heard someone shout loudly from the palace wall: "Halt! "Who is it?"

"It's me!" Zhong Sang raised his head proudly and looked at the guards on the palace wall.

The guards at the top looked at him carefully and immediately recognized his identity. The leader of the guards laughed, "So it's General Zhong!" General Zhong entered the palace late at night.

"Nonsense?!" Zhong Sang scolded him: "If there is nothing important, why am I here when I am not sleeping? "Open the door!"

"Oh …" "General Zhong, please allow me to inform the King …"

Without waiting for the guard officer to finish speaking, Zhong Sang angrily shouted: "What do I need to report? If it gets out of hand, I'll f * * king want your head! "

The imperial bodyguard secretly stuck out his tongue. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to tarry any longer. He personally descended from the palace walls and ordered the guards below to open the gates.

In truth, even at night, the palace gates wouldn't close. It was just that Zhong Tian felt guilty, afraid that some legion would suddenly rebel and charge into the palace.

"General Zhong, please calm your anger. This lowly one will follow the rules." After opening the door, the imperial bodyguard came out.

Zhong Sang got off his horse and snorted. He did not bother with the guard and merely gave him the reins of his horse. Then, without saying a word, he walked straight into the palace.

In the past, when Tang Yin was a Regiment Commander, he did not even enter the palace. Instead, through Zhong Sang's memories, he had a rough understanding of the structure of the palace.

He still didn't know where Wu Mei was imprisoned. After entering the palace, a group of patrolling guards passed by him, Zhong Sang reached out to stop them, and asked the leading Junior Captain: "Is Wu Mei in the palace now?"

Seeing that it was Zhong Sang, the Junior Captain did not dare delay, and immediately bowed, respectfully replying: Yes! Not long ago, Miss Wu was brought into the palace. "

"Where is she being held?"

"This... This little one does not know. "

Zhong Sang frowned, he then waved his hand and said: "Go!"

"Yes!" "General Zhong!"

The matter of Zhong Tian marrying Wu Mei was no longer a secret, he did not understand why Zhong Sang would come to the palace late at night to find Wu Mei. However, this was their family matter, so he did not dare to ask too much.

Although Zhong Sang was only a Regiment Commander, he had an extraordinary identity. When walking in the palace, no one dared to stop him. He continuously asked the three patrols, and only then did he find out whether or not Wu Mei was brought into the harem, and in fact, her chambers.

At this moment, Tang Yin's heart was burning with anxiety.

Just as he was about to enter the harem, he suddenly stopped himself in his tracks. The harem was an important place, even if Zhong Sang was the nephew of Zhong Tian, he could not barge in. If he wanted to enter the harem, he would have to change his identity. As he thought of this, he looked around. Right at that moment, a palace maid slowly walked past from afar.

His eyes lit up as he chased after her. When he was close to the palace maid, he slowly slowed down his steps and gave way to the patrolling guards, seeing that there was no one around, he suddenly activated Shadow Shift and appeared behind the palace maid's back. The Fire of Darkness gathered in his palm and he silently pressed his palm on the back of the palace maid's neck.

The palace maid did not even have the chance to cry out. In an instant, her eyes had turned gray and her body limply fell to the ground. Then, Tang Yin's Fire of Darkness s immediately turned from a Soul Combustion into a burning flame, burning the palace maid's body to nothing but a pile of clothes. Tang Yin picked up the clothes, bundled them up and threw them behind an old tree. When he came out from behind the tree, he had already changed into the appearance of a palace maid.

Not only did he look exactly the same, even the way he walked seemed leisurely. If one did not use the Arts of Clairvoyance, no matter from what angle one looked at it, he was just an ordinary maid in the palace.

Only after his identity had changed into that of a palace maid did he start walking towards the harem.

As expected, the guards did not obstruct or question the palace maids, and did not even spare them a glance.

With the palace maids' memories, Tang Yin had an even better understanding of the layout of the palace, so he did not take any detours and went straight for Zhong Tian's chambers.

From afar, Zhong Tian's chambers were brightly lit, and from time to time, palace maids would carry trays in and out.

Seeing that, Tang Yin's mind moved, he did not directly go in, but followed the palace maids, and entered the back kitchen of the palace. Just like the other palace maids, he also picked up a tray, placed a few plates of sliced fruits on it, then followed the palace maids towards Zhong Tian's resting quarters.

Amid the crowd of girls, Tang Yin successfully entered his sleeping quarters.

The interior was extremely spacious, and the decorations were dazzling with gold and jade. Right now, Zhong Tian was sitting in the middle, beside him was the Wu Mei that Tang Yin was looking for painstakingly.

Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Tang Yin walked towards Zhong Tian at a leisurely pace, but his heart was already starting to feel better.

Through Zhong Sang's memories, he knew that other than the numerous guards around, the four people behind Zhong Tian who were dressed in casual clothes were not simple. These four people, along with the two hanger-ons guarding the prison in the Zhong Residence, were all from Divine Pool, and the four people who stayed by Zhong Tian's side were the best of the six.

The palace maids placed the trays one by one on the table in front of Zhong Tian, then lowered their heads and carefully left the room.

Zhong Tian's attention was not on them, and at this moment, only Wu Mei remained.

Wu Mei was innately charming, and from the bottom of her heart, her beauty could be seen. If she was in the modern world, anyone who saw her would suspect that she was some kind of noble disciple. She had a fatal attraction towards men, and even Zhong Tian, who was of the same generation as her father, couldn't resist it.

As for using marriage to rope Wu Family to stand by his side, it became secondary in Zhong Tian's eyes.

Zhong Tian's face was full of mirth. He occasionally toasted to Wu Mei, and occasionally passed the strange dried fruits, fruits, and snacks to her, just short of personally feeding them to her. His appearance, was exactly the same as Zhong Sang's.

On the other hand, Wu Mei's charming face was ice-cold, and did not have the slightest bit of a smile. His brows were tightly knitted, and his heart was pounding with anxiety, secretly worrying about what Zhong Tian was going to do to his next.

At this time, it was Tang Yin's turn to become the palace maid to put down the tray. Right now, he was only an inch away from Zhong Tian, and they were only at the same table. Killing him was just a wave of his arm, how could Tang Yin not be moved?

Simply saving Wu Mei would expose his identity, killing Zhong Tian, then saving Wu Mei would still reveal his identity. Since the result was the same, why would she miss out on such a great opportunity? As long as Zhong Tian died, the rebellion under his command would not be something to fear. Thinking about it, Tang Yin's state of mind changed from simple save to first stab and then save.

As he willed it, his killing intent rose naturally.

Almost at the same time, two of the four people behind Zhong Tian shook their bodies, and raised their heads to look, their eyes shone with a strange light as they looked at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin saw it clearly with his sharp eyes, and cursed under his breath. It was the Arts of Clairvoyance. Without enough time to think, the right palm he was holding onto the tray with became a long blade. Without any warning, he threw the tray to the side, and fiercely stabbed it into Zhong Tian's forehead.

Zhong Tian did not have any reaction at all, and did not even know that Tang Yin's hand blade had reached his vitals, but just at that moment, one of the henchmen behind him instantly flashed to his side, his movements was extremely fast, comparable to the speed of Shadow Shift, and a wide and long spirit sword also appeared in his hand. With a wave of his hand, the spirit sword directly smashed into Tang Yin's hand blade.

A loud and clear clank sound came out from the eardrum as Tang Yin's blade was deflected, and almost brushed past Zhong Tian's temple.

So fast! Such a high cultivation base! As soon as the expert made a move, he immediately knew if it was true or not. Tang Yin's eyes revealed a look of shock.

It was only now that Zhong Tian realized that someone was trying to stab him. When he saw that a palace maid was standing in front of him and her right hand had turned into a long blade, he instinctively cried out, "Monster!" As he spoke, his expression greatly changed. His body that was originally sitting on the cushion shifted backwards a few times, and at the same time, he screamed, "Assassin! There's an assassin! "

Following his shout, the entire inner and outer palace burst into an uproar. The palace maids ran outside, and the imperial guards rushed in. People squeezed in, people bumped into each other, and the order was extremely chaotic.

Just then, another guard using Insight behind Zhong Tian slowly walked over, blocking in front of Zhong Tian. He looked straight at Tang Yin and said expressionlessly: "Shadow Clone? Since you have the guts to make your move, why don't you dare reveal yourself? " As he said that, a spirit sword that was the same as his companion appeared in his hand. With a shake of his shoulder, he directly jumped over the table, the sword in his hand turned into tens of thousands of rays of light that pierced towards Tang Yin's vital points.

"I'll destroy your clone and see where your real body is!"

Tang Yin was shocked, not because the other party used the powerful Blood Soul Spikes immediately, but because the other party used them too casually, the Blood Soul Spikes were already considered a high levelled skill within the Light, if a normal Spirit Cultivator used this skill they would have to condense their Qi first, but if the person used it with a raise of her hand, it would be easy for him to use it, her cultivation was high, and most likely she was not any weaker than, but had reached the Spirit Heaven Stage Realm.
