Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 877 Ridiculous Appearances of All Kinds of People

"There is an assassin, protect the emperor--"

The eunuch above shouted in an extremely sharp voice, and the guards in the surrounding hall and the imperial guards outside who were still able to move also rushed over. Some of them protected the emperor, while others stood in front of the officials, surrounding those who rushed into the hall.

Being inside the golden palace of the imperial palace, one felt an oppressive feeling of the dynasty's fate pressing in from all directions. Taoist Xue, who had come for the emperor, felt suffocated, and it seemed as if all the magic power in his body turned from virtual to real and turned into liquid lead.

But even so, Taoist Xue's aura did not diminish at all, and the remaining fire dragon energy made him look like a ball of fire, making it impossible to look directly at him.

"How dare you, you traitor, to trespass into the Sun and Moon Palace? Why don't you surrender?"

The commander of the guards came forward, holding his sword in his hand, and his words made Taoist Xue burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahahahaha. Treason, assassin?"

Taoist Xue stopped laughing. His body was still stained with blood, some from humans and some from monsters, some from himself and some from others, and he pointed to the ground.

"If I were an assassin, you would be the same as the people on earth! Oh, the people on earth are not human either, but those who are in a position of idleness and take human lives are also evildoers."

Taoist Xue raised his head again.

"A tyrant emperor, that's what I'm talking about - and some shameless officials in the court -"

Taoist Xue swung his sleeves as he scolded angrily. The talismans on the corpse near the coffin on the ground fell off, and the white cloth scattered, revealing the true appearance inside.

At this moment, the corpses of the three monsters who fought outside the city last night revealed their true forms. They were a big black fish, a ferocious water yaksha, and a two-foot-thick snake. As soon as they appeared, they scared the people around them and they retreated in panic.

"Oh my!" "A monster!"

"hey hey"

Some officials in particular were so frightened that they jumped up, some even collapsed to the ground and kept kicking their legs to retreat, even the guards and imperial guards gasped and retreated.

Some of them were still alive, they were the six priests brought by Taoist Xue before. But now they were inside the Golden Palace, with countless guards around and Taoist Xue's talismans, these guys revealed their true forms one by one.

They were unconscious at first, but now they woke up one after another, but their bodies were severely restricted and they could not tear off the talismans that had been affixed to them.

"Oh, it's alive!" "This one is alive too!"

“They are all monsters.”

“Run—” “Run—”

The Golden Palace was in chaos. Many officials, eunuchs and palace maids fled from both sides. When they escaped outside, the imperial guards from outside were also approaching them for support.

With a large number of people missing from the Golden Palace, it suddenly became much more spacious, but the guards and imperial guards did not dare to run away because the emperor was still there, and Taoist Xue kept looking at the emperor, making the people above dare not move.

"Hey, isn't this the high priest?"

"High Priest?"

A minister who had not yet escaped suddenly spoke up.

The trembling emperor on the dragon throne above also looked down. It turned out that among the many monsters, there was another person who was also brought by Taoist Xue and who had just woken up. He was the high priest of the Four Dragon Kings Sect!

"Hehe, that's right, they are all monsters, and they are all priests of the Four Dragon Kings Cult. It is this Four Dragon Kings Cult that the emperor has issued an edict to promote, harm the people, and destroy the dynasty's luck!"

"Now that the four evil dragons have been killed, there was some restraint before. Now that the pressure from the evil dragons has been lost, the remaining monsters can no longer be restrained and want to eat people!"

"Ask this so-called high priest what happened last night?"

Taoist Xue grabbed the so-called high priest by the neck and lifted him up with one hand. The latter's legs were weak and he could barely stand.

At this moment, the guards and imperial army were just a few steps away with swords, spears, and halberds, and there were some terrified monsters beside them, and the Taoist priest looked so ferocious that he seemed to want to cut him into pieces. The high priest urinated while trembling, and a light yellow liquid kept dripping from his lower body.

"Humph!"

Taoist Xue threw the high priest away, and the latter fell to the ground more than two feet away with a cry of "Aiya".

Although the high priest didn't say a word in his horror, the appearance of the high priest who was regarded as a god in the court was enough to shatter the fantasies of some people. The emperor who was huddled on the dragon throne was also staring blankly below.

Several monsters have now recovered some strength, and some have even started begging for mercy.

"Master, please spare my life. I promise not to come to the human world again." "I am a sea guard, not a demon."

"Master, please have mercy and let me go."

The monster begged for mercy, and the high priest also knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Master, Master, I am not a monster, I am a human, I am a human."

Is it a human?

The Taoist sneered, shifting his gaze away from the evildoers kneeling around him and looking up at the emperor above him again.

"Stupid emperor, do you see clearly? You are asking for a magical medicine and longevity. What are you asking for? Do you know how many people you will kill? Do you know that you are destroying the foundation of your ancestors?"

The old emperor above was now disillusioned with the Four Dragon Kings Sect. Faced with such a situation, he was filled with mixed feelings of fear and anger, and even opened his mouth to rebuke the Taoist priest.

"You are such a bold thief, why don't you catch me——"

The emperor's voice was hoarse, but it was loud enough for people to hear. The surrounding imperial guards and imperial guards looked at each other, hesitating but no one dared to take the initiative, or many people didn't want to take action deep down.

"Listen, do you hear me? Take him down--"

When the chief eunuch's sharp voice sounded, the surrounding imperial guards and imperial guards finally stopped hesitating and stepped forward one after another. Naturally, the first to attack were with spears.

However, most of the spear was pointed at the monster over there, and a small part was facing Taoist Xue.

"Uh" "Ah"

Inside the Imperial Golden Palace, these monsters, which were already severely injured and had talismans attached to them, offered no resistance at all and were stabbed by spears one after another. However, their skin was very tough, and a large number of imperial guards used their internal strength to hack and kill them, causing them to scream in pain.

"what"

A shrill howl sounded from the high priest. He was not a monster and did not have a strong body. He was pierced by a spear and hacked to death by a sword.
As for Taoist Xue, even though he didn't cast any magic, he just swung his whisk and many spears in the hands of the imperial guards flew out of their hands. Then he swept again, and after a noise, the guards and imperial guards within a ten-foot radius were forced to retreat one after another.

But at this moment, messy and heavy footsteps were heard outside the hall, and many imperial guards rushed into the hall. The originally empty Golden Hall was now filled with a large group of people.

All kinds of weapons were aimed at Taoist Xue, including swords, spears, halberds, as well as strong bows and crossbows. Many shield bearers came in and went around the top of the Golden Palace to protect the emperor.

"Oh, it seems that Xue's logic doesn't make sense."

Taoist Xue was so angry today that he broke into the palace directly, but it didn't matter. The tyrant emperor wouldn't listen even if he tried to reason with him.

Even if I can't leave the palace today, I have to accomplish this task. The worst that can happen is that I will take the head of the tyrant!
At this moment, Taoist Xue had already formed the intention to kill, but his expression became calm. He flicked the whisk in his hand lightly a few times and looked up at the emperor who was filled with shock and anger.

Isn't this also an evil dragon?

"Wait, stop—"

The emperor above suddenly shouted. He squinted his eyes for a long time, until the Taoist's face became calm, as if he finally saw clearly and remembered something.

Memories from many years ago became clear in my mind.

"Stop it now, don't hurt Taoist Xue——"

The emperor's hoarse voice became loud and distorted with excitement, and he stood up with a slight tremor in his body.

"This is Taoist Master Xue, the national master of Daegu, the Great Master Yuqing of Daegu, and my national master. Taoist Master, you are here to clear the court of evil and suppress the evil, and to save me, right?"

If the Taoist Xue back then had a haggard face in his middle age, then the Taoist Xue in front of him had a ruddy face and looked somewhat rejuvenated.

For the emperor, the incident at Hualong Temple happened many, many years ago. Although it was only a dozen years ago, to him, who is living less and less every day and whose memory is a little confused, it seems like it happened half a lifetime ago.

At that time, I couldn’t say that I was young and strong, but I still had plenty of energy!
"Master, have you realized the art of longevity?"

The emperor not only stood up, but also kept walking forward in excitement. The guards beside him who wanted to stop him were pushed away by him. The imperial guards shield soldiers and guards had no choice but to keep moving forward with the emperor.

Taoist Xue looked at the old emperor who was walking forward with surprise and excitement. At that moment, the tyrant seemed to have regained his mobility and his voice became louder.

At this moment, the Taoist felt that it was ridiculous, extremely ridiculous.

This is probably one of the most absurd things in the world, and I am here to play along with him, and I still have illusions when I come here, isn't it absurd to the extreme?
The anger in Xue Daoren's heart disappeared, but the murderous intent that made the nearby imperial masters feel cold was gone. His face became calm and more natural, and in an instant, everything became quiet.

Without thinking about being quiet, he was able to achieve tranquility. A breeze arose spontaneously, and a smile appeared on Taoist Xue's face.

At this moment, Taoist Xue looked at the emperor again and suddenly discovered that his luck was almost gone, and his excitement at this moment was just a last glimmer of life.

"Ha ha ha ha ha"

Taoist Xue laughed out loud and looked around. He saw the dead high priest, the corpse of the monster, the imperial guards and officials with different expressions, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids.

What a ridiculous scene of all kinds of people.

"Master, have you figured out the art of longevity?"

The emperor asked again. The people were already several feet away, but were stopped by the guards and refused to move forward.

Taoist Xue looked at the emperor and said with a smile.

"What does it matter if you are immortal or not? No magic trick of immortality can defeat the retribution of heaven. Your Majesty's fate has come to an end and you will die today!"

When the emperor heard the words "today is the day to be destroyed", he stood there in a daze. He felt that the words were as loud as thunder, rumbling in his ears and in his mind.
After saying this, Taoist Xue put the whisk in his hand on his arm, then turned and walked out of the Golden Palace.

The surrounding imperial guards and imperial guards all looked at the Taoist priest and then at the emperor. Although their weapons were pointed at the Taoist priest, no one dared to stop him. They allowed the Taoist priest to walk out of the hall and into the palace, ignoring the thousands of imperial guards as if they were nothing.
"Uh-huh."

Inside the golden palace, the emperor groaned loudly and his stiff body fell to the side.

“Your Majesty—” “Your Majesty!”

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"Quickly call the imperial physician—"

Taoist Xue walked through the imperial guards and had already reached the outer reaches of the palace. However, in the sight of thousands of people, his figure became fainter and fainter, and gradually disappeared in the blur.

Taoist Xue also heard the noise in the Sun and Moon Palace and knew that the Emperor of Daegu, who had been in power for fifty-one years, had finally passed away.

I just don't know if there will be another bloody struggle for power.
