Chapter 768: Chapter 223: The Demon Blade That Cuts Lifespan, the Terrifying and Devious Li Yuan

This time, not only did General Gao take action, but even Commander Fish moved secretly.

What can I do, Your Highness?"

Chang Xin, looking indignant, said, "General Gao and Commander Fish, both of them have gone to the Cold Wind Valley beside Yu Lin Mountain. They’re blocking the way there... Isn’t this to block the Empress Dowager’s path?"

Clap!!

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager suddenly slammed the teacup beside her heavily, saying, "Xiaoxinzi, did I allow you to speak?"

The handsome eunuch looked flustered and quickly said, "These... weren’t you just discussing them with me..."

"Enough!"

The Empress Dowager’s pretty face was frosty.

"Forgive me, Your Highness, forgive me."

Chang Xin quickly begged for mercy.

And on the side, Shi Shabai secretly felt gratified; indeed, planting such an important piece beside the Empress Dowager was very right, as Chang Xin was relaying information to him.

Truly, it’s easy to gather information from the person beside the pillow.

He wondered what the dignified Empress Dowager looked like on the bed.

He suddenly felt a bit jealous, jealous of this eunuch.

However, that eunuch was his dog, and when they were alone, he would definitely make that dog kneel and call out twice.

But now, he had already received important intelligence: Gao Kaiping, Yu Chang, these two are now in Cold Wind Valley, Yu Lin Mountain.

These two are Mr. Shan’s real enemies, normally as elusive as dragons, very hard to catch, and now they’re gathering together... it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As long as they were slain, it would shatter the balance, and henceforth, the Empress Dowager would have no power to contend with them.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager said, "Master Shi, I am tired, you may leave first."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shi Shabai cupped his fists in a salute and turned to leave.

Just after he left, the eunuch, standing and trembling, cried out, "Your Highness, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Xie Wei heavily smashed the precious porcelain in her hand, spilling the hot tea all over the ground. Her eyes smiled alluringly, but she said with an icy voice, "Then your punishment is to massage my legs until I tell you to stop, you may not stop."

Shi Shabai, now in the distance, wrinkled his brow, snorted coldly, and quickly departed.

His jealousy toward that dog grew.

He had always been very respectful to the Empress Dowager, treating her with courtesy akin to the friendship of gentlemen, yet... he didn’t expect the Empress Dowager would be favored by a far inferior eunuch.

Thinking of their entwinement on the bed, his envy flared up, he wanted to summon that eunuch immediately and give him a harsh lesson.

But the big picture was more important, so Shi Shabai quickly left the Imperial Palace and went to find Mr. Shan.

He knew Mr. Shan had hidden away.

But at this moment, if Mr. Shan could strike, eliminating Gao Kaiping and Yu Chang, the entire situation in Jade Capital would change.

Shi Shabai moved farther and farther away.

In An Divine Hall, palace maids had been there to clean, and now the door was shut again.

But inside the door, Li Yuan was no longer there.

Xie Wei lay alone on the bed, with a pile of memorials stacked beside her. She casually picked one up, but again looked somewhat worried toward the distance.

The bedding beside her was slightly bulging, holding a long case within, with its mouth slightly open like a small door, and behind the "door" was a strange Black Blade.

Xie Wei gazed at the Black Blade.

The Black Blade exuded an unimaginable aura of danger, even across the distance and through the long case, it could be felt as a Demon Blade that mortal beings absolutely should not touch.

Xie Wei stared at the blade, and after a while, she suddenly didn’t know for whom she should worry...

...

...

Buzz...

Buzz buzz...

The slight flapping of wings, sounding in the air, barely perceptible.

The Little Bug flew very high, yet dangled far behind Shi Shabai.

The Illusion Technique’s use ensured that the Little Bug couldn’t possibly be detected, at least not by Shi Shabai.

One person and one bug circled around for more than an hour before arriving at a quiet courtyard.

The courtyard looked normal from the outside, but was very quiet inside, with no one present.

Shi Shabai’s manner of entering the courtyard was also unique.

He didn’t enter through the main gate but climbed over the wall instead.

Behind the wall, the courtyard had two rows of old trees, at the end of which was a sizeable house.

This house might have been used for martial arts instruction before, but now, abandoned, it became a private residence.

However, the owner didn’t have much refurbishment, so the large room should have a spacious area far from the door.

Shi Shabai approached, stopping in front of the door, and reported respectfully, "Reporting to sir, something favorable to us has occurred in Jade Capital."

A voice came from inside the house, "Speak."

Shi Shabai said, "Gao Kaiping, Yu Chang, these two Heroic Spirits seem to have sensed something wrong, and in order to lock down Lianyi House, they are now in Cold Wind Valley, Yu Lin Mountain."

The voice from inside asked, "How do you know?"

Shi Shabai replied, "I have a completely reliable plant beside the Empress Dowager, and this information was secretly told by that plant."

The voice inside said, "There is no absolute reliability in the world."

Shi Shabai confidently said, "Reporting to Mr. Shan, that plant is only Seventh Grade, and I’ve put Human Skin Handcuffs on him.

People might lie, but Evil Ghosts don’t.

The tools of Evil Ghosts... are always effective."

Just as he finished speaking, Shi Shabai suddenly felt something was amiss because behind him there was a glow, a heat.

The blinding golden light made the already hot summer air swirl and twist, and above his head, a massive shadow blocked out the sky, causing the entire courtyard to swiftly dim.

The terrible pressure made the two rows of old trees within the courtyard dance wildly as if caught in a hurricane, leaves flying chaotically, only to inexplicably burst into flames in midair.
