399: Chapter 398: Only Five Days Left 399: Chapter 398: Only Five Days Left Lin Bai had just stepped out of the City Lord Mansion when he heard the angry roar of the Taifu behind him.
At that moment, hordes of soldiers charged towards the City Lord Mansion.
One by one, they saw Lin Bai and were shocked: “Who are you that dares to break into Hejian City?
Your life is forfeit.”
“Kill him!”
“The man the Taifu wants dead must be you.”
“I will kill you and earn this great military merit.
Then I will be a Centurion.”
“Kill!”
A group of soldiers surged forward, heading straight for Lin Bai.
Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed, a cold light gleaming in his eyes.
The purple and green wings on his back let him soar into the Cloud Sky at the instant those people charged.
Watching Lin Bai fly away, all the soldiers were stunned.
“Five days!
I only have five days.”
Lin Bai flew into the Cloud Sky, heading straight into the depths of Dayue Kingdom.
Tuoba Feng had said that he would arrive at Jia Yueguan within five days.
At that time, under the bombardment of two City-Destroying Cannons, Jia Yueguan would be unable to resist.
Therefore, Lin Bai had to force Tuoba Feng to retreat within five days.
Securing Jia Yueguan was the key to preserving the Shenwu Kingdom.
“I must rush with all my strength, within five days, I must return to Shenwu Kingdom with Consort Yun and force Tuoba Feng to retreat.”
“At this moment, what glory, what dignity, what Sword Cultivator…
my family and my country are gone, and you still want to talk about some bullshit glory!”
With a roar, Lin Bai transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed straight for the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom.
The Imperial City of Dayue Kingdom was one of the places where martial arts peaked.
Various forces, merchants, and others, made it a mixed bag of fish and dragons.
Within the Imperial City, the mightiest Moon God Legion under the control of Dayue Kingdom held the town defense.
The Moon God Legion outclassed the other two legions of Dayue Kingdom in terms of weaponry, soldier quality, marching speed, and the Cultivation of a martial artist.
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
The towering Imperial City was like a colossal beast asleep, emanating an imposing, unattainable aura.
Swoosh!
One purple and green intertwined lightning bolt, moving to its utmost speed, surged straightly into the Imperial City of Dayue Kingdom.
In the blink of an eye, the lightning bolt stopped above the Forbidden City.
Within the Martial World, the star in the sky, known as the Emperor’s Star, was also used to name the place where the Emperor lived — the Martial Forbidden Area.
Therefore, regardless of any Martial Arts Empire, the place where the royal family lived was generally referred to as the Forbidden City.
Lin Bai stood prideful, thousands of feet above in the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the bright moon.
A two-day and two-night mad dash left Lin Bai’s True Qi severely depleted.
His face was pale, looking thoroughly exhausted.
From Hejian City to the Imperial City of Dayue Kingdom, Lin Bai had spent only a short two days and two nights.
This was already the fastest speed Lin Bai could muster.
Two days and two nights of mad dashing had exhausted the True Qi in both his Dantian and Gold Spirit Vortex.
Now, Lin Bai still had the Water Spirit Vortex and Fire Spirit Vortex to rely on, so his True Qi was still relatively abundant.
“This is the Imperial City of Dayue Kingdom!”
“Consort Yun!”
Lin Bai’s eyes twinkled, and he descended from the Nine Heavens, straight into the Forbidden City.
As he landed, Lin Bai deliberately slowed his speed, concealed his figure, and entered the Imperial Palace without anyone noticing him.
“Tonight, Consort Yun is the one to serve His Majesty in his bedchamber again.
How enviable.”
“Right?
For all these years, His Majesty has solely favored Consort Yun.”
“His Majesty’s love for Consort Yun is so deep.”
“Right, I am so envious.”
“If only I could receive His Majesty’s favor; then I would be a consort.”
“Keep dreaming.
Let’s move, His Majesty and Consort Yun must be done now, and ready to bathe.”
Just as Lin Bai landed, he hid behind a rockery.
Next to the rockery, a group of eunuchs and palace maids were joking as they carried toiletries towards a palace.
“Are they delivering toiletries to Consort Yun and the Emperor of the Dayue Kingdom?”
“Perfect, if I follow them, I should be able to find Consort Yun.”
Lin Bai emerged from the darkness and stealthily executed his movements, trailing behind the group of eunuchs and maids.
Before long.
The group of eunuchs and maids arrived at a palace of stunning opulence and luxury.
After navigating twists and turns inside the palace, the group of eunuchs and maids stopped outside a room.
Meanwhile, Lin Bai hung from the eaves above, lowering his head to look inside the room.
At that moment, Lin Bai managed to glimpse inside the room through a tiny gap in the eaves above.
Inside sat a man and a woman, chatting joyfully together.
The man, with his shriveled, wrinkled skin and aged looks, exuded a strong aura of imminent death, not unlike a heavily aged man on the brink of death.
But the woman, she was quite the sight indeed!
This woman, with her beautiful jade-like face, celestial beauty, white skin, and eyes full of life, radiated a pure and clear aura.
Especially her face, so beautiful it could disrupt the realm, that all the men under heaven could not resist.
Wow!
As Lin Bai looked at the woman, he hastily averted his gaze, his face filled with shock on the rooftop.
“Unless I’m mistaken, this woman must be Consort Yun.”
“The first beauty of the Dayue Kingdom, truly as famous as proclaimed.”
Lin Bai composed himself, steadying his turbulent emotions.
The beauty of Consort Yun was like a captivating magic that almost lured Lin Bai in.
Even when compared with Ye Suxin, she was not lesser by much.
“Hahaha, my beloved, I grow fonder of you with each passing day.”
“Your Majesty, we should get cleaned up.”
“Oh, alright, I’ll wash with you.
Servants, bring the toiletries.”
An old voice came from the room.
Instantly, the eunuchs and maids who had been waiting by the door for a while, carrying toiletries, walked in.
At this moment, Lin Bai stood up on the rooftop.
He looked into the distance and saw a bunch of soldiers in silver armor, weaponry in hand, densely stationed around the palace.
But these soldiers were only outside the palace.
Inside the palace, there were only some eunuchs and maids, no other soldiers.
“Your Majesty, when will the soldiers outside the palace be withdrawn?
Their fierce and wicked presence frightens me.”
“My beloved, just be a little patient.
I’m doing all this for your safety.”
“News from the frontline reports that Lin Bai from the Spirit Sword Sect of the Shenwu Kingdom is heading here to kidnap you in order to force the Second Prince to withdraw troops.”
“Oh, Your Majesty, are you joking with me?
Could the formidable Purple Forbidden City of the great Dayue Kingdom be easily entered by any ordinary martial artist?”
“My beloved, I’m not making a mountain out of a molehill, I’m just too worried about your safety.
I want them to guard here for a while longer.
Everything will settle down naturally when the Second Prince returns in triumph.”
“Your Majesty, I still don’t believe that this martial artist called Lin Bai can enter this heavily guarded Purple Forbidden City.
Does he have three heads and six arms?”
Inside the room, the sound of splashing water could be heard.
Then came the casual chatter between the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom and Consort Yun.
