I, the Wudang junior master, only want to cultivate immortality!

Chapter 124 Who is the butcher and who is the meat?

The figure in the python robe turned around, with two wisps of beard on his lips and a dignified look on his face.

It is none other than the uncle of the current Ming Dynasty Emperor, the master of the Huolong Villa, a powerful being in the state of unity between man and nature, who has suppressed the court and the underworld for decades, and has been worshipped by countless people. He is known as Zhu Wusi, the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis!
Zhu Wusi looked at Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami and asked in a deep voice.

"Have you found out clearly? Is Yang Guang currently in Luoyang, the Eastern Capital?"

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami spoke immediately.

"Replying to Lord Shen, I have already found out that Yang Guang made a public appearance in Luoyang yesterday and selected dozens of young and beautiful women to fill his harem."

"And according to the information from the insider in the palace, Yang Guang is currently surrounded by beauties in the palace."

"As for the matter of the Heavenly Demon Tomb, we only sent Yu Wenzhi and his son."

Zhu Wusi showed a satisfied look on his face and didn't bother to speak.

"Yuwen Huaji and his son? Oh, Yuwen Chengdu is known as the greatest warrior of the Sui Dynasty, but he is just a grandmaster. It seems that Yang Guang has completely given up on himself."

"In order to satisfy his desire for extravagance and debauchery, he ordered the construction of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and forced two million workers to work day and night every month. The workers could not bear it, and four to five out of ten died tragically. Vehicles carrying corpses were constantly coming and going."

"Not only that, he also frequently launched wars against other countries. He was extremely extravagant and brutal."

"After we and Shaolin jointly eliminated Yang Jian, his poorly-trained Emperor Dragon Fist was unable to suppress the dynasty's fortune and the aristocratic families, leading to chaos in the Sui Dynasty."

"Now we can only show off our might in the capital. The Great Sui Dynasty is about to fall!"

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami quickly complimented him.

"Yang Guang just took advantage of his birth. He is simply incomparable to the Divine Marquis in every aspect."

"If the Divine Marquis were to take that position, he would surely be able to restore order and dominate the world!"

Zhu Wusi smiled, looking very pleased, and continued.

"The Demon Tomb will be opened soon. Apart from other things, we are determined to obtain that group of ownerless luck."

"Although Shaolin has sent out Wuhua, the strongest of the younger generation, the situation in the Heavenly Demon Tomb is complicated. To be on the safe side, I have discussed with the Wrathful Vajra Buddha and decided to wait and see."

"We will ambush outside the Demon Tomb and wait for those people to come out."

“No matter who obtains that group of ownerless luck, if Yang Guang is not in Daxing City, no one can be a match for me and the Wrathful Vajra Buddha!”

A look of surprise appeared on Yagyu Tajima-no-kami's face.

"Is it possible that Senior Nuqian, a powerful immortal from the land, wants to take action? Isn't this a violation of the imperial ban?"

Zhu Wusi glanced at Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami and spoke lightly.

"He doesn't necessarily have to take action. The opening of the Heavenly Demon Tomb will surely attract a large number of people to watch covetously. There must be many people who share the same idea as me."

"The angry look is just a backup plan, to prevent too many Heaven and Human Unity experts from appearing and losing control of the situation."

Having said that, Zhu Wusi's eyes gleamed and he looked into the distance.

"Besides, the imperial ban is a rule made by our four great dynasties. How can the people who make the rules be bound by the rules? The so-called rules are nothing more than a word from this Marquis!"

Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami was shocked and truly felt the charm of top power.

Relying on his own power, Zhu Wushi was able to mobilize Shaolin's land immortal realm powerhouses to work for him by reaching the state of unity between man and nature.

They even disdain the iron laws that the entire continent must abide by.

And this is exactly what Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, who was born in the tiny country of Japan, longed for.

Suddenly, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami seemed to have thought of something and spoke.

"Oh, Lord Shen, I understand that Gu Changfeng, the number one prodigy in Jiuzhou who didn't give face to my Hulong Villa, will also enter the Heavenly Demon Tomb this time."

Zhu Wusi raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

"Oh? That guy was the one who injured Tianya and Yidao, right?"

"The Shaolin's previous plan against Wudang was also destroyed by him. He is a little troublemaker."

"In that case, let's kill him this time. When I am free, I will deal with his master Zhang Sanfeng."

Zhu Wusi's tone was nonchalant, as if killing Gu Changfeng was as easy as crushing an ant.

Then Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami listened to Zhu Wusi's instructions again.

"Okay, go down and make the arrangements. Remember, be careful to hide when entering the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty to prevent others from noticing our plan."

"If this is done well, when I ascend the throne, it will be the time for you, Yagyu Tajima-no-Kami, to become the ruler of Japan!"

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami bowed and saluted, his tone slightly excited.

"Yes! Lord Shen!"

In the very center of Daxing City, a huge imperial palace lies prostrate on the ground.

To be precise, since Yang Guang moved the capital to Luoyang, this extremely luxurious imperial palace can only be called a temporary palace.

Whenever the current Sui Emperor Yang Guang came to Daxing City, he would stay here.

Although Yang Guang never returned to this palace after the capital was moved, the eunuchs, palace maids and guards inside were not removed and they still diligently completed their work every day.

Waiting for the emperor of that dynasty to arrive one day in the future.

Strangely, there was no one outside the Golden Palace at this time. Not even a eunuch, palace maid or guard could be seen, and there was not even a candlelight.

On the vast square outside the Golden Throne Hall, two figures walked side by side, silently in the darkness.

The two men are about twenty years apart in age, and you can see that they have some similarities in appearance.

It was Yu Wenzhi, the current Junior Minister of the Imperial Household of the Sui Dynasty, who was in charge of protecting the Sui Emperor Yang Guang.

The man next to him was Yuwen Chengdu, the son of Yuwen Huaji, who broke through to the late stage of grandmaster at the age of thirty and was known as the bravest warrior of the Sui Dynasty.

When he stepped onto the long steps in front of the Golden Palace, Yuwen Chengdu finally couldn't help but speak.

"Dad, didn't we come to Daxing for the Tomb of the Demon?"

"But why do we have to come to the Daxing Palace tonight? Although His Majesty is not here, isn't it inappropriate for the two of us to come here so late at night?" Yu Wenzhi had no expression on his face. He walked forward and spoke lightly.

"Chengdu, I've told you many times that you should use your brain first, but you always like to solve all problems with force."

"Don't you think about what kind of place this is? Without His Majesty's permission, how could your father bring you into the Daxing Palace in the middle of the night?"

"Also, I am the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household, responsible for guarding His Majesty. I am almost never too far away from His Majesty. So why do you think I am here?"

Yuwen Chengdu frowned at first, then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Then he suddenly shook his whole body, looked up at the Golden Throne Hall above the steps, which was lying in the shadows like a sleeping dragon, and a bold idea popped into his mind.

"You mean His Majesty is in the Daxing Palace? Are we going to see him?"

"But from what I have heard, wasn't Your Majesty still selecting concubines in Luoyang yesterday?"

Yu Wenzhi said nothing more and walked up the stairs.

Yuwen Chengdu, who was behind, was stunned for a while, then quickly followed his father's footsteps, his expression changing constantly along the way.

Thanks to his father's high position and power, Yuwen Chengdu, as a leader of the younger generation of the Sui Dynasty, had many opportunities to meet the Sui Emperor Yang Guang.

But in recent years, Yang Guang's temperament became more and more violent. Even in the court, he would lose his temper at any time and brutally kill people in front of civil and military officials.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were even more unlucky. It was said that the bodies were pulled out in carts.

Yang Guang is an absolute tyrant!
For the officials of the Sui Dynasty, going to court to meet the emperor had become an extremely dangerous matter. If they were not careful, they would end up in blood!
If the Sui Dynasty had not yet perished, and Yang Guang, as the emperor of the dynasty, had absolute control over the capital, these ministers would probably have fled long ago.

And now, my father is going to take the two of us to meet the emperor?
And it was obvious that this was done to avoid public attention. It was definitely not a normal meeting. Yuwen Chengdu was terrified and under tremendous pressure.

He was afraid that he would accidentally anger Yang Guang and be killed by him to vent his anger.

Just as Yuwen Chengdu's mind was in a mess, the father and son had already arrived at the gate of the Golden Palace.

There was no one nearby, not even a candlelight, and it was so quiet that Yuwen Chengdu felt a little uneasy.

Yu Wenzhi's expression remained the same. He took a step forward, pushed open the door of the Golden Throne Hall, and walked in without hesitation.

Yuwen Chengdu took a look and saw that the Golden Palace was pitch black, which made him feel inexplicably nervous.

But his father had already gone in, so Yuwen Chengdu gritted his teeth and followed him.

Bang~
After the two entered, the door of the Golden Palace closed automatically.

The Golden Throne Hall was pitch black. As a powerful man at the level of a grandmaster, he had already been able to ignore the darkness. But the strange thing was that except for his own father, he could not sense anything at all.

Suddenly, Yuwen Huaji in front stopped, and Yuwen Chengdu almost bumped into Yuwen Huaji in a trance.

Then Yu Wenzhi suddenly knelt down and spoke in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, I, Yu Wenzhi, come to see you!"

Yuwen Chengdu knelt down immediately without thinking and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, I, Yuwen Chengdu, come to see you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, bang! bang! bang!

The candles on both sides of the Golden Throne Hall lit up one by one.

Tread~tap~tap~
The crisp and rhythmic footsteps came from far away.

Yuwen Chengdu did not dare to look up. He only saw the hem of a bright yellow dragon robe stopped in front of Yuwen Huaji, and heard Yang Guang's majestic voice.

"My dear, thank you for your hard work."

"How are the preparations going?"

Yu Wenzhi spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis Zhu Wusi of the Ming Dynasty and the Wrathful Vajra Buddha of the Shaolin Temple are preparing to secretly take action to seize the ownerless luck in the Heavenly Demon Tomb."

"Hmm~"

Yang Guang made a nasal sound.

Yuwen Chengdu, who was wondering what his father was talking about, suddenly felt a hand pressing on his shoulder.

At some point, the bright yellow hem of the dragon robe appeared in front of him!

"Chengdu, I have always admired you."

"This time when we enter the Demonic Tomb, I don't need you to take anything from it. You only have two tasks: let me leave something inside you, and you need to come out alive."

"Also, no matter what happens, do not leak the news that I am in Daxing. Can you do it?"

Yuwen Chengdu blinked his eyes, and the bright yellow dragon robe in front of him changed and slowly turned into golden dragon scales!
An extremely terrifying pressure was gradually gathering. Even though he had already become a late-stage grandmaster, he still felt difficulty breathing and was sweating profusely.

Yuwen Chengdu spoke quickly.

"I can do it! I can do it!"

In a trance, the golden scales disappeared and turned into a bright yellow dragon robe.

Then, a piercing pain came from the top of his head, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

In Yu Wenzhi's vision.

Yang Guang, wearing a dragon robe, was holding his son Yuwen Chengdu's head with one hand. Light golden smoke kept flowing from Yang Guang's arm into Yuwen Chengdu's body.

Yu Wenzhi's face twitched, but he dared not say a word.

Half a minute later, Yang Guang let go of his hand and turned around.

Yu Wenzhi could only see a pair of blood-red, crazy eyes and devil-like mutterings.

"Zhu Wusi and those bald monks from Shaolin murdered my father and thought I knew nothing?"

"This time, I want to see who is the butcher and who is the meat!"
