Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

The imperial capital of Chu State is the most powerful city in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm.

The Chu royal family has taken root here and thrived here for more than 100,000 years. After successive Chu emperors expanded and improved the imperial capital, it became extremely large and majestic.

The imperial capital is divided into three levels from the outside to the inside.

In the outer city, ordinary warriors and some small families live.

The inner city is where high-ranking families and dignitaries live. For example, the officials in the Chu State's court and the five major families in the imperial capital all live in the inner city.

The third level of the imperial capital is the imperial city.

The Imperial City, also called the Imperial Palace, was where the Emperor of Chu and his concubines lived.

Lin Bai was wearing the robe of the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, with delicate and handsome features, and a sparkle in his eyes. He followed a eunuch in front of him who walked away with small steps, and walked into the palace.

Walking into the palace, with blue brick paved floors, green trees and red walls, waves of breathtaking pressure echoed around.

Every stone slab, every tree, every blade of grass is firmly fastened by the magic circle.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you take one wrong step here, you will be doomed.

In the huge imperial city, teams of patrolling soldiers shuttled back and forth.

These soldiers were covered in armor made of golden magical iron, holding a golden halberd about three meters long, and walked majestically inside and outside the imperial city.

A pair of emotionless eyes under the helmet scanned the surroundings.

If a young person is just stared at by these eyes, they will definitely be frightened to death.

This was not the first time that Lin Bai came to the palace, but this time... he could clearly feel that the number of guards in the palace had increased a lot.

The soldiers wearing golden battle armor are just the visible guards in the palace.

In the darkness, Lin Bai sensed bursts of scent of Hunyuan Dao Fruit coming from deep within the palace.

Some breaths even surpass Hunyuan Dao Fruit...

The eunuch led the way fearfully, while Lin Bai followed behind with a solemn expression.

Not long after.

Lin Bai, led by the eunuch, arrived outside a majestic and majestic palace.

He looked up and saw "Shanhe Palace" written clearly on the palace door plaque.

"Your Majesty, Sir Lin Bai has arrived."

Lin Bai stood outside the Shanhe Palace, and the eunuch stepped forward to report back to the chief eunuch who was approaching Emperor Chu.

The head eunuch glanced at Lin Bai with a half-smile, then nodded, indicating with his eyes that he was waiting here.

He walked into the Shanhe Palace and met Emperor Chu.

Lin Bai had seen this eunuch chief before.

That day, when Chen Yule, Lin Bai and others went to Mingyuefang to have fun, they had a verbal dispute with Zhao Xiantu, Li Mo and others, and they fought in Mingyuefang.

In the end, it was the chief eunuch who came to scold Lin Bai, Li Mo and others with the order of Emperor Chu.

Lin Bai remembered that this eunuch chief seemed to be called "noble father-in-law" by Chen Yule.

"Sir Lin Bai, Emperor Chu wants you to come in!"

Not long after, the noble master walked out of Shanhe Palace and said to Lin Bai with a smile.

Lin Bai nodded, thanked him, walked up the jade steps, and came to the Shanhe Palace.

The door of Shanhe Palace was not closed. Lin Bai looked inside and saw a deep darkness inside.

This kind of darkness is not the kind of darkness after dark.

This kind of darkness means that even the light will be swallowed up by the darkness when it reaches this place.

It seems that no light can penetrate this darkness.

And at the end of the dark hall, there was a divine light that seemed to shoot out from the void, falling on a dragon chair. There was a majestic man sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, and it was Emperor Chu.

Lin Bai took a deep breath, stepped across the threshold, and walked into the back of Shanhe Palace.

He stepped in, and the door of Shanhe Palace was closed.

Lin Bai walked towards Emperor Chu. The hall was not big, but Lin Bai seemed to be standing still after walking for half an hour.

The dragon chair was as far away from him as he entered the door, and it is still as far away now.

After walking for a while, Lin Bai frowned slightly. Feeling that something was wrong, he stopped, raised his hands and said, "Lin Bai, the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Chu!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Chu looked calm and stared at the book in his hand. Even though he had no words, an invisible coercion spread out from him, as if the sky had collapsed, frightening all the creatures in the world.

Lin Bai bowed his hands and bowed, but he did not dare to straighten up even without Emperor Chu's instructions.

Just keep it that way.

Emperor Chu's pressure continued to spread, making Lin Bai overwhelmed. Sweat broke out on his forehead and his face gradually turned pale.

"Zuo Feiyu is dead, did you know?"

In the empty and silent hall, Emperor Chu's majestic and cold voice echoed.

Lin Bai maintained his saluting posture and replied: "I know."

Emperor Chu said, "Zhao Xingsi found a cult to take the blame. Originally, the matter could have been settled, but unexpectedly another holy son died. Gui Yifan suddenly realized that the royal family of Chu State was fooling them."

"If this matter gets serious, Chu will lose all face."

"The person who took action has a great background, and he can actually use the "Divine Light Sword Technique" of Qitian Sect's Qijue City."

"Both Zuo Feiyu and Changsun Hongxuan died under the divine light sword technique. This has been confirmed."

"My birthday is approaching, and the imperial capital is a mixed bag. Your Highness, Prince Chen, is already exhausted from dealing with many evil cults and people in the devil's path. And the person who assassinated the Holy Son is also very cunning."

"This emperor wants to send you to investigate this matter."

"What do you think?"

Emperor Chu took a breath, and his eyes burst out with intense light in the darkness, falling on Lin Bai.

Lin Bai maintained the salute posture and did not raise his head to look at Emperor Chu. However, as Emperor Chu's eyes fell, Lin Bai's whole body trembled, cold sweat broke out, his whole body became numb, and he temporarily lost his ability to move.

This feeling was as if Emperor Chu was a giant a hundred meters tall, and Lin Bai was just an ant at his feet.

The ant looked up at the giant and felt his own insignificance, despair, and powerlessness...

Lin Bai replied, "Since it is arranged by His Majesty, my Tianshui Sect, as one of the five and seven sects of the Chu State, should contribute to the Chu State. I have nothing to say."

Emperor Chu nodded happily, raised his hand, and the sword wielder's token from Zhaoxing Division flew in front of him.

"From now on, you are the sword bearer of the Zhaoxing Division. Except for Purgatory, any warrior inside or outside the Zhaoxing Division is at your disposal." Emperor Chu returned the sword bearer of the Zhaoxing Division to Lin Bai. .

When Lin Bai first arrived in the imperial capital, His Highness King Chen asked Emperor Chu for Lin Bai's token as the sword bearer of the Zhaoxing Division. Later, he had a quarrel with Li Mo in Mingyue Square and got into trouble with Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu was furious and took back the token as punishment.

"How long will it take you to solve the case?" Emperor Chu asked.

"How long do you plan to give it to me?" Lin Bai thought for a moment and asked.

Emperor Chu said, "Since they killed Zuo Feiyu first and then Changsun Hongxuan, this is definitely not the end, it is only the beginning. If you don't catch the murderer as soon as possible, another Holy Son will fall soon."

"This emperor cannot give you much time. This matter must be ended as soon as possible."

"Lin Bai, you only have...half a month!"

When Lin Bai heard this, his eyes shrank and his face showed shock.

Half a month, to be honest, is very short.
