Chapter 198: Leaving the Seclusion

The heartland of the Sword Sect.

A year passes in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Li Xiaoyao led the elders of the Sword Sect and waited silently above the ancient tomb.

"I wonder if anyone among the three can obtain the inheritance this time?"

Yu Kongzi stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"I don't think it's possible. Over the years, countless heroes have entered the ancient tomb, but none of them succeeded. This time is probably the same."

Upon hearing this, the second elder shook his head slightly, as if he did not hold any hope.

"Although the chances of obtaining the inheritance are not high, the heavenly energy in the tomb is rich, and there are countless opportunities hidden. If they can come out safely this time, we will be surprised."

The fifth elder had a faint smile on his face and a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Li Xiaoyao turned his head and glanced at the elders with a calm expression.

Suddenly, he remembered Ji Che's letter and looked at Yu Kongzi and asked, "What is the situation in Kyoto now?"

Hearing this, Yu Kongzi was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Not good, Ji Wu has been besieging Kyoto for three days, and I don't think Your Majesty can hold out for a few more days."

After hearing this, Li Xiaoyao frowned and said, "I always feel that this rebellion is a little unusual. It seems that there is a mastermind behind it."

Yu Kongzi said with deep sympathy: "To be honest with you, Sect Master, I feel the same way.

However, the five major sects should not interfere in the affairs of the royal family…" Yu Kongzi did not finish his words, but Li Xiaoyao already understood what he meant. He sighed and said, "Please pay more attention to them. If necessary, help them if you can."

Yu Kongzi nodded slightly but said nothing.

"Boom!"

Just as several people were talking, the door of the ancient tomb slowly opened, and three powerful auras gushed out from the tomb.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao realized something, his expression suddenly changed, and then turned into surprise.

"metropolitan."

Lin Yuan appeared in front of everyone with Bai Tianyi and Yan Lu, and saluted respectfully.

"Yeah, not bad, not bad."

The elders looked at Yan Lu and Bai Tianyi in turn, showing gratified smiles, and then when they looked at Lin Yuan, they were stunned.

"Lin Yuan, your realm..." Yu Kongzi frowned slightly and looked at Lin Yuan closely, feeling puzzled.

With his cultivation level at the late stage of the Wheel of Time, he was unable to see through Lin Yuan's cultivation level, which surprised him a little.

"You have reached the early stage of the Samsara Mirror?"

Li Xiaoyao looked at the young man in front of him solemnly and asked in a deep voice.

Li Xiaoyao's words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone speechless. They looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

However, Lin Yuan's subsequent response confirmed what Li Xiaoyao said.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I was lucky enough to obtain the inheritance from my predecessors and break through to the Samsara Mirror."

"You…what did you say!

You have obtained the inheritance of the Void Emperor!"

This light sentence shocked all the elders of the Sword Sect. They couldn't believe that the young man in front of them actually inherited the legacy of the Void Emperor.

You know, this inheritance has lasted for thousands of years, and no one has ever succeeded.

Now, this young man who had just arrived in the Southern Territory for less than a few years had obtained this inheritance. How could they not be shocked?

"Let's not talk about this for now. I sensed a very disgusting aura."

Lin Yuan turned his head and looked into the distance. That was the location of Kyoto Luoyi.

"What do you mean by that nasty smell?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, except Li Xiaoyao and Yu Kongzi, who looked at each other and understood what the other meant from each other's eyes.

"I don't know, but this power seems to be very strong and disgusting to me."

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"this is for you."

Li Xiaoyao took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Lin Yuan, and said: "The current Great Zhou is in chaos. His uncle Ji Wu rebelled and attempted to seize Ji Che's throne. This is his letter for help."

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the envelope and looked at it carefully.

"Master..." After reading the letter written by Ji Che, Lin Yuan was extremely anxious. He looked at Li Xiaoyao with longing on his face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

How could Li Xiaoyao not know what he was thinking, he said: "You don't have to say more, I know what you want to do.

If you want to do it, do it."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was overjoyed. After saying goodbye to Bai Tianyi and Yan Lu, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards Kyoto Luoyi at the fastest speed.

"Master, have you noticed the evil aura that Lin Yuan just mentioned?"

Yu Kongzi couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, his eyes showing a trace of solemnity, and then looked at Bai Tianyi and Yan Lu, saying: "You two should quickly return to your respective sects and inform their sect masters to pay close attention to the movements of the Great Zhou."

Bai Tianyi and Yan Lu looked at each other, then responded to each other and flew towards their respective sects.

"Let's go find the ancestor immediately. I have a bad feeling."

After saying this, without waiting for the elders to speak, he disappeared, leaving the elders disheveled in the wind.

…Kyoto Luoyi.

"Your Majesty, the rebels of the King of Han have already captured the outer perimeter and will soon attack the imperial palace. You should leave Kyoto immediately."

Zheng Bichang ran to the palace sweating profusely and said with a panicked look on his face.

"Even if the 50,000 defenders in Kyoto are not as strong as the rebels, it shouldn't take them only a few days to capture the outer city, right?"

Ji Che looked calm, staring at Zheng Bichang with sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"No... I don't know. Those people seem to be desperate and attack the city day and night. It is really difficult for our army to resist."

Zheng Bichang took a breath and shook his head slightly. Then he thought of something and said quickly, "Your Majesty, there is something strange about those soldiers."

"strangeness?"

Zheng Bichang nodded repeatedly and said solemnly: "Those people have red eyes and always have a weird smile on their faces, just like a monster."

Upon hearing the news, Ji Che's face suddenly became heavy.

"Did it really come true?"

Ji Che frowned, feeling more and more uneasy.

"Your Majesty, you'd better leave quickly. Otherwise, once the rebels attack the palace, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

Zheng Bichang was really anxious. Seeing Ji Che lost in thought, he hurriedly urged him.

"Haha..., my good nephew, long time no see."

At this moment, a rampant voice came from outside the palace, causing Ji Che's face to change slightly.

"Your Majesty, please leave. I will protect you."

Upon hearing this voice, Zheng Bichang's face changed drastically. He said something to Ji Che and was about to go out and fight the enemy to the death.

"Walk?

Where can I go? "

As soon as Zheng Bichang finished speaking, he saw Ji Wu leading two people to Ji Che with a cold look on his face.
