Chapter 130: The Sacred Flame Token is in Hand
You have received a new chapter update: Chapter 128: The Sacred Flame Token is in Hand, here is the reading link.
Li Ping walked to the window, looked at the bustling crowd, and laughed, "A few clowns who disturbed Your Majesty's presence have all been killed."
"His Majesty is well, please rest assured."
He leaped down, landing beside Ding Dian, grabbed Ding Dian's shoulder, and whispered, "His Majesty is dead. He needs your help!"
Then, he flew directly upstairs with Ding Dian.
Hearing Li Ping say this, the martial arts practitioners breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt extremely frustrated.
With so many skilled fighters here, the assassins still managed to kill the emperor...
Although the assassination attempt failed, he still felt humiliated.
But it's not our fault! How were we supposed to know the emperor was here?
Feng Bao was almost on the ground. How experienced he was, how much did he know about the Zhengde Emperor?
If the emperor were truly unharmed, it wouldn't be Li Ping who spoke out.
His Majesty was truly assassinated...
He almost fainted.
Meanwhile, Ding Dian, looking completely bewildered, stared at the emperor in Du'e's arms. Li Ping asked, "Are you confident in your Divine Illumination Scripture?"
Ding Dian finally came to his senses. At this moment, he couldn't care less about why Li Ping knew that his "Divine Illumination Scripture" had the power to bring the dead back to life!
If the emperor is assassinated, the country will inevitably descend into chaos, and the people will suffer greatly!
At this moment, the guards below were already in chaos. They wanted to rush over, but Qian Ning and Jiang Bin held them back.
They can only pin their hopes on Li Ping now, hoping that he really has a solution; otherwise, they fear that their entire clan will be wiped out!
Ding Dian pressed his hand against Emperor Zhengde's chest for a while before saying, "Such strange force, but it's just an internal injury, so there shouldn't be any problem. If it were a sword or blade piercing him, then I can't help you..."
In the original timeline, Di Yun hanged himself, and his body was already cold, yet he was still able to revive the person, which was not a big problem for him.
He quickly channeled his inner energy to activate the remaining life force within Zhu Houzhao's body. A wisp of steam rose from his head, and soon after, Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes.
His eyes were somewhat dazed, and then he recalled what had happened...
The feeling was very strange. He was already dead, falling into boundless darkness, but he could still hear what the people around him were saying.
Upon seeing the emperor come back to life, Qian Ning and his companion immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, wailing and pleading guilty.
Zhu Houzhao kicked the two men away: "What's the use of saying all this now? Have the other assassins been caught?"
Qian Ning said, "We are making every effort to apprehend him..."
Li Chenzhou did not pursue the cult leader, but said, "Your Majesty, I have failed your trust..."
He was truly ashamed!
Zhu Houzhao said nothing more, walked to the window, and waved to the heroes below: "My esteemed heroes, I am your emperor, Zhu Houzhao!"
"Thank you for coming to the capital to stop the assassination attempt. I have received your sincere concern."
"Those assassins are nothing but clowns, nothing to be afraid of!"
"Gentlemen, let the martial arts continue, and let the fun continue."
Seeing that the emperor was alright, the guards finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The group of heroes were also excited and their bodies were burning with excitement. No matter how absurd the outside world made the emperor's story, he was still an emperor. In this era, the emperor was the supreme ruler!
Upon hearing the emperor's words, the heroes of the martial world were so enraged that they immediately rushed onto the stage to fight another three hundred rounds.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao turned around and grabbed Ding Dian's hand: "My dear minister, your martial arts are truly amazing..."
Ding Dian was at a loss. Although he hated the corrupt officials, he was at a loss for what to do in the face of the emperor's closeness and attempts to win him over.
He said, "I am a commoner, I am a commoner..."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "My dear minister, would you be willing to serve by my side? I will appoint you as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard..."
The dead can only be brought back to life, so keeping this person by your side is like having two lives.
Qian Ning felt a chill in his heart; this was his official position!
Have I been stripped of all my rights?
But after what just happened, he didn't dare utter a single word!
"This humble citizen really does not want to be an official."
Why?
"Corrupt officials are rampant; those in power are not good people!"
"Then you should become an official even more. Because only by becoming an official and entering this system can you change all of this..."
Ding Dian was easily fooled by just a few words.
Zhu Houzhao then looked at Li Ping: "Hero Li, we owe you a great debt this time. What reward would you like?"
Li Ping said, "Then Your Majesty, may I take a few more peeks at that unparalleled martial art?"
Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily: "This is the only one that won't do! I still want to see Master Li display his divine prowess and win a few more matches..."
"You're bound to win anyway, aren't you?"
Li Ping said, "How about I receive the weapons of these assassins?"
He now guessed that those people might be from the headquarters of the Persian Ming Cult, and that these strange black rulers might be the Sacred Flame Tokens.
Zhu Houzhao picked up a black ruler: "Persian script? Left then right, three false, seven real, creating something from nothing, heaven square, earth round… Is this some kind of martial arts manual?"
"If you want it, you can have it!"
Seeing everyone's stunned expression, Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "In your eyes, am I really that ignorant and incompetent? Knowing a few words of Persian is such a surprise?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at the assassins and asked, "Are you Persians? Why would Persians want to assassinate me?"
The assassin suddenly burst into tears: "Foreigners, foreigners had no choice. Natural disasters have struck, and the foreigners' country is gone."
"His Majesty has sealed off the border again; we, the remnants of the Persian people, have nowhere to live..."
"Yanda Khan promised us that if we assassinated His Majesty and they took control of the Central Plains, they would give the Persian remnants a place where they could recuperate and thrive..."
Zhu Houzhao fell silent upon hearing this.
He was fully aware of the situation at the border, but he had not yet made up his mind.
After all, opening the borders to allow so many foreigners to enter is definitely not a good thing.
However, if these people are not allowed in, they will really fight to the death, because they will soon have no way to survive.
These assassins before us are proof enough!
He has discussed this matter with several ministers for a long time, but they still haven't made up their minds!
After all, no one has experience with this kind of thing, and there is no precedent in history.
It seems I still need to go back and consult my great-grandfather; this matter can't be delayed any longer...
……
The cult leader had just escaped to the city wall when suddenly two figures appeared in front of him: one dressed in white with a long sword, and the other with four eyebrows!
The cult leader's Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique was indeed powerful, but once its effects wore off, his power dropped to its lowest point ever, and he was finally overtaken!
The cult leader sighed, "Ximen Chuixue, Lu Xiaofeng."
The two of them had noticed something was wrong, but it was too late when they arrived. Seeing the others chasing the assassin, they followed and finally caught up with the cult leader.
Lu Xiaofeng was extremely surprised: "You are, you are, the leader of the Western Demonic Sect, the Rakshasa Sect, Jade Rakshasa?"
Yu Luosha was taken aback: "You actually know me?"
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "I never imagined that you, the leader of a dignified demonic sect, would become a lackey of foreign tribes."
Yu Luosha also sighed, "Foreigners? Do you know why I established a base outside the Great Wall? Why I founded the Rakshasa Cult outside the Great Wall? Because I was originally a foreigner in your eyes..."
"The world is undergoing a dramatic change; soon there will be no place to survive outside the pass."
"I did this only to ask for a word."
Ximen Chuixue said, "Draw your sword..."
……
A farmhouse courtyard outside of Beijing.
A man in black muttered, "Did it fail?"
"Is assassinating an emperor really that difficult?"
Suddenly, his expression changed. Someone landed outside the house, displaying unparalleled lightness skill, leaving not a speck of dust.
He stared at the man, all color draining from his face: "Chu Liuxiang? How is that possible?"
