Chapter 3: The Sutra of the Five Emperors' Cyclic Rotat
princesses.""How could Princess Huqing, who grew up in the deep palace and was innocent and cheerful, suddenly think of going to Feilong City""And yet, here we are."Feng Zhen's words were like heavy..."Get the hell in here!"
He was kicked brutally in the back, and Zhang Liyang felt intense pain as he was kicked into a dark and damp cell.
"Listen up, you stay here! If you even try anything funny, I'll cut you all down!"
The ferocious imperial guards spoke with a cold, menacing glint in their eyes.
This murderous intent is not meant to scare, but to actually kill!
The Empress is poisoned, and she doesn't look like she has long to live. These eunuchs and palace maids will suffer, as will their Imperial Guard!
If one wants to avoid being harmed, the only way is to find the culprit and bring them to justice. And where could the culprit be They must be among this group of eunuchs and palace maids.
Therefore, in order to survive, they must have been filled with murderous intent toward this group of eunuchs and palace maids.
A group of eunuchs and maids huddled together in the cell, their faces pale and trembling with fear and despair as they awaited the judgment of their fate.
Zhang Liyang was also afraid, but he was better than others. It wasn't that Zhang Liyang was more composed, but that Zhang Liyang had Princess Huaining behind him.
Even though I'm not a monk, I'm Princess Huaqing's childhood playmate and close attendant. The Imperial Guard probably won't take Zhang Liyang's life.
Zhang Liyang, with a slightly calmer heart, perhaps didn't understand that when someone is pushed to the limit, they wouldn't consider many things.
Moreover, as the commander-in-chief of all palace guards, a high-ranking official of the second rank, he was entirely capable of disregarding a princess's feelings.
"Ding, martial arts system binding successful!"
"The host has been assigned to Li Yang, successful!"
"Start activating the Martial Arts System!"
"Ding, the martial arts system has been activated successfully. A newbie gift package has been awarded. Please check it out."
Suddenly, a series of voices echoed in his mind, startling Zhang Liyang. He then realized that it was the activation of the martial arts system.
"Laozi's cheat codes are here…"
"Laozi's cock is close…"
His heart surged with excitement within the system's prompts, and at the same time, a fiery passion rose from Zhang Liyang's core.
This world, it is a world where cultivators exist!
Without a word, Zhang Liyang inside the palace saw from his memory guards walking on walls and eaves to retrieve kites hung in the trees for the concubines.
At that time, Zhang Liyang was so envious. However, as an eunuch, wanting to learn martial arts was extremely difficult. After all, within the palace, eunuchs only existed to serve the concubines or princes, and there was no need for them to have any martial skills.
It is said that the eunuchs who can truly cultivate, from the moment they become eunuchs, are taken away for specialized training. Those who are released to serve people are those who cannot cultivate, and Zhang Liyang happened to be one of them.
"Whether you can cultivate depends on you!"
Zhang Liyang held back his excitement and unease, carefully looking at a luminous package in the void. Then, with a thought, he opened it.
Congratulations host, you have obtained the martial arts manual Five Emperors Rotating Sutra!
Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the martial arts skill "Severing Gold and Jade Hands"!
Two consecutive beeps sounded, and then a flood of information surged into Zhang Liyang's mind.
The sheer volume of information flooding in all at once left Zhang Liyang's face ashen, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
The eunuch beside him heard Zhang Liyang's muffled groan, turned his head and looked in the dim light. He only saw Zhang Liyang's slightly pale face.
"Even Lian Zhang was hopeless, wasn't he"
I thought it was Zhang Liyang's face paling from despair, which made the surrounding eunuchs and maidservants even more desperate. Even Zhang Liyang himself despaired – did they still have a way out
Just as Zhang Liyang closed his eyes and concentrated on receiving the information, the door of the cell was opened. Two vicious-looking imperial guards walked in, roughly dragging a eunuch from the ground and pulling him out.
Regardless of the eunuch's shouts and pleas of innocence, claiming he was being wronged, the Imperial Guards remained unresponsive.
Is he the murderer Is he innocent These eunuchs don't get to decide! It's up to the imperial guards to determine that!
A eunuch was dragged away, and the remaining eunuchs and palace maids' fear grew even greater. If it weren't for the forbidden army soldiers outside the cell already having their hands on their sword hilts, these people who had been terrified out of their wits would have surely erupted into chaos.
What the eunuchs who were taken away said and what kind of experience they would have, these people didn't know. It was only a quarter of an hour later when another group of Imperial Guards came to arrest people.
The Imperial Guard one by one captured the eunuchs and palace maids in the prison, and one after another they disappeared. Zhang Liyang, who had always been closing his eyes in the corner, slowly opened his eyes.
"Whew, what a marvelous Five Emperors Reincarnation Sutra! What a wonderful world of cultivation!"
At this moment, Zhang Liyang's heart was surging with excitement. Although he had not truly experienced the world of cultivators, from the Five Emperors Rotating Sutra, Zhang Liyang had already glimpsed a corner of the cultivation world, seeing its vastness and magnificence.
But this agitation was soon interrupted.
"Everyone, get your asses out here!"
For some unknown reason, the Imperial Guards who had been interrogating one by one suddenly called up all the remaining eunuchs and palace maids, driving them out of their cells and taking them to another location.
This is a large room, but everyone who enters turns pale.
Zhang Liyang was no exception. After all, the instruments of torture in the room, still stained with blood, although unused, were enough to frighten everyone just from the smell of blood on them.
In the center of the room, there was a table and a chair. Lu Tongxuan was currently sitting on that chair, while the eunuchs and palace maids who had already been taken away for questioning were also within this room.
The Great Emperor Dagan gave him a day, but Lu Tongxuan didn't want to use that much time. He just wanted to find the murderer tonight.
Seeing that all the eunuchs and palace maids from Yuanqing Palace had been brought over, Lu Tong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and at the same time, a fierce and violent aura pressed down upon them.
"I won't say much more. If you want to live, it's very simple."
Lu Tongxuan's fingers tapped on the table, making a dull thudding sound, like a sharp knife tapping against one's skull.
"Once you identify the culprit, then you will be able to walk out of prison unharmed!"
Of course, if you come forward and tell everyone who is behind this, I promise to protect your life!
Upon hearing Lu Tongxuan's words, all the eunuchs and palace maids were slightly taken aback. They then turned their heads to look at each other, their bodies trembling again.
Lu Tongxuan spoke very simply, but for them it was incredibly difficult because they truly didn't know who the murderer was.
How can they identify that
Seeing these eunuchs and palace maids trembling but none speaking, made Lu Tongxuan's eyes grow even more gloomy.ng Liyang's words into regulations and issued them out.Just as Zhang Liyang had anticipated, with no major powers entrenched in the city and with Mu Yinghua's guarantee like a living bodhisattva, the...
