Emperor's Stand-in: My physique improves a little bit every day

After the last failure, the demons and ghosts became much smarter.

This time, they were ten times and a hundred times more cautious than the last time, and only a few demons and ghosts involved in the matter knew about it.

Their most important goal was to assassinate the new emperor of Daning. According to the news from all sides during this period, these demons and ghosts already knew that the matter of the Demon Extermination Order was related to the new emperor.

As long as the new emperor was killed, the Demon Extermination Order would most likely fall apart, and the demons and ghosts in Daning would no longer be hunted down, and maybe they could return to the time when the Peace Party was in power.

The losses during this period were too great, and even the demons and ghosts could not stand it, especially the capture of the Yellow Sand Jiao King and the three-mouthed woman, which made the remaining demons and ghosts even more nervous.

Although the Yellow Sand Jiao King and the three-mouthed woman were not demigods, their difficulty was far beyond most demigods. One was the overlord of the water, and the other was good at earth escape. In the end, they were captured by the masters invited by the Emperor of Daning.

Although according to the information revealed by Emperor Daning, all this was done by his senior brother, there is a very strong force behind him.

This is also what Lu Changjing did on purpose, to hide himself and find a background for himself, so that he can show some of his true strength later and push it to the imaginary master behind him, so as not to expose his true strength.

At the same time, it can also scare the demons and ghosts and the forces around them with gods and demons, for example, at this moment, it makes the demons and ghosts who sneaked into the palace uneasy.

"Do we really want to kill Ning Zhongyu? There is a high probability that there are gods and demons behind him, otherwise the Yellow Sand Jiao King and the three women will not be easily captured. If we kill him, the gods and demons behind him are likely to attack us."

"Even if we don't kill him, do you think Ning Zhongyu will let us go? The demon-killing order he issued has clearly told us that he will not let go of any demons and monsters in the territory, so we have already been in a relationship of life and death."

"The Yellow Sand Jiao King is dead, and the three women are missing, and they are probably dead. What are you waiting for? Ning Zhongyu won't give us a way out, so why should we give him a way out? If we are really afraid, the worst thing is to kill him and leave Daning, but before that, I have to vent my anger."

"So many descendants have died. No matter what, Ning Zhongyu must die tonight, and no one can stop him."

...

After confirming the plan to kill Ning Zhongyu, several level 20 demons and monsters did not stop, cooperating with each other, using magic talismans, innate secrets, special combat skills...hidden in the wind and rain, and soon came to the vicinity of the imperial study.

At this moment, Lu Changjing was practicing in the secluded secret room deep in the imperial study. The stone door was tightly closed and no one could break it open, so after several demons and ghosts came near the secluded secret room, they were also helpless.

Looking at the tightly closed stone room, the eight level 20 demons and ghosts looked at each other, and there was some silence for a while.

"What should we do now? Break it open by force and capture Ning Zhongyu inside?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this closed-door chamber is made of divine stones. Not to mention us, even real gods and demons can't break through here."

"Who was responsible for gathering intelligence? Didn't you consider this at the time? What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? We can only guard the door. As long as Ning Zhongyu comes out, we will kill him as soon as possible."

"According to the information we have gathered, Ning Zhongyu will get up around the morning to review memorials every day, and he can't wait for long."

...

So eight level 20 demons and monsters found a suitable position and guarded the door of the closed-door stone chamber, waiting for the moment when Lu Changjing opened the door of the stone chamber, and then launched a surprise attack on him.

Lu Changjing in the stone chamber was very busy, practicing the Five Elements Golden Body Art, the Imperial Extreme Shocking Art, the Imperial Extreme Dragon Soul Sutra, the Cang Yang Art, the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Art... in an orderly and dazzling manner, with almost no free time.

Except for a short break of nearly half an hour after midnight, the rest of the time was spent in cultivation.

After taking one magic pill after another, Lu Changjing's cultivation was also growing rapidly, and he did not stop practicing various combat skills and secret arts.

Although he was a little philanthropic, Lu Changjing was never vague about serious matters. Dating was dating, and ambiguity was ambiguity, but he would not fall behind in the cultivation that should be completed.

Self-discipline, self-reliance, self-confidence... It's just that cultivation is often boring, and it is impossible to focus on it all the time, and occasionally some adjustments are needed.

Lu Changjing did not find out that there were demons and ghosts guarding outside. On the one hand, the stone chamber cast by the magic stone blocked the perception, and Lu Changjing did not open the corresponding mechanism to observe it specifically.

On the other hand, these eight demons and ghosts cooperated with each other, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, and the hiding effect was amazing. Although it was not as good as Ning Zhongyu's intermediate artifacts, intermediate magic symbols and god-level secret arts, it also had some effects.

It was normal that Lu Changjing could not find it without deliberately exploring.

Moreover, the danger perception characteristic did not give any warning, and there seemed to be something else going on.

Soon, the Zi hour passed, the Chou hour passed, the Yin hour passed... and it was already the Mao hour.

However, there was still no movement in the secluded stone chamber, and there was no sign of anyone leaving.

Some demons and ghosts looked at the one-eyed monster: "Master Qingfang, didn't you say that Ning Zhongyu would come out at the Mao hour? It's already the Mao hour, why is there still no movement?"

"Wait a little longer, maybe he slept a little longer today." Qingfangzhu guessed, making the other demons and monsters silent.

Now they can only wait a little longer, so soon the Mao hour passed...

The voices of Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, eunuchs, palace maids... were heard outside, and the sky began to brighten.

The eyes of several demons and monsters fell on the one-eyed monster. After planning for so long, they finally sneaked into the imperial study successfully, but your information turned out to be like this. Can it be more accurate?

Qingfangzhu was also a little panicked at this moment, and his face became a little ugly: "This... This shouldn't be. According to the information I have found here, Ning Zhongyu basically won't sleep for so long. At most, he will get up a little after the Mao hour. Did something happen?"

As Qingfangzhu guessed, Lu Changjing, who originally wanted to come out after the Mao hour, did have some problems, but it was not a bad thing, but he had some insights in the practice of the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Art.

So he stayed for a while longer, practicing the Dragon and Phoenix Secret Art in one breath, until a little after noon, and then he walked out of the retreat room with a smile on his face.
