Chapter 782: Chapter 30 Assaulting the Tower [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

The biggest event in Surge Wave City today was inevitably Miss Xue’s tour performance.

As they say, the streets were deserted as all were attending the event.

As the Romantic Country, our fervent enthusiasm for music and dance goes from the highest to the lowest levels, even to the point of fanaticism toward Nanyin Square, the sacred land of music law for the Four Seas and Nine Continents. Even though disciples of Nanyin Square had never crossed the sea to come here before, every season when the grand selection is held, a large number of people from Fuyao would make the long journey across the sea to the Yu Dynasty to show their support.

Now, with the first visit of Xue Lingxue, the Flower Tower, which was responsible for organizing the performance, managed to rent out more than ten surrounding houses, tore them down, and expanded, leaving nothing but the beams and pillars, all with the aim of allowing more people to enjoy the performance.

Such a grand event was indeed rare in the history of Fuyao Country.

"Did you ever imagine that you would be so popular here?" Chu Liang, sitting on a rooftop balcony, laughed and said to Xue Lingxue.

Being cultivators, their hearing and sight was far superior to that of ordinary people. Therefore, they didn’t have to squeeze into the crowd and could clearly watch the performance inside the Flower Tower from the outer buildings.

By now, over a hundred guards with swords had gathered in the building across them, ready for the Monarch of Fuyao Country, who would be watching the performance from that location. The Monarch, who had been secluded for several years, had not appeared in public for a long time. This was sufficient to show his deep love for it.

Xue Lingxue, her face concealed by a white veil, looked at the scene in front of her and spoke in a quiet voice, "I never knew that Fuyao Country is such a connoisseur of music. From now on, I will recommend to the square master to add a few more performances here."

"That would be splendid." Hu Sanlang, wearing a black helmet, joined the conversation: "People from Fuyao country have long admired the dance and music of Nanyin Square."

"As well as the Shushan people." Lin Bei agreed right away.

"Give it a rest," Iron Hammer gave him a sideways glance, "Do you really admire the music and dance? I’m too embarrassed to expose you."

Chu Liang was gazing in the direction of the palace and said, "He’s coming."

A convoy of vehicles slowly came out of the palace gate. The leading vehicle, drawn by an exotic beast, wound through the streets and alleys to the high-rise building. Dozens of guards formed a human wall to escort the person in the car into the building.

The windows of the high-rise building had been tightly shut, so nobody could see what was happening inside. They didn’t dare to use their Divine Sense to probe too casually either, so as not to disturb others.

"The Monarch of Fuyao Country is well-guarded." Lin Bei said while looking into the distance, "How will the assassination take place?"

"The Dragon Dance Lady’s cultivation level is not high. Even if she impersonates Miss Xue and gets close to the monarch, it’s unlikely that she will succeed in the assassination," Chu Liang said.

When he heard Hu Sanlang’s recount of the event yesterday, he had some doubts.

The current Monarch of Fuyao Country, Han Ling Shou, was over thirty years old. Although he had not pursued the path of the Tao, he had a cultivation level that reached the sixth realm under plentiful resources. With the level of cultivation that the Dragon Dance Lady possessed, even if she took the king by surprise, it was unlikely that she could succeed in the assassination.

However, since Jing Wuya had arranged for someone to impersonate Xue Lingxue, there must be a conspiracy, so they still needed to keep watch here. Anyway, whether they wanted to expose the fake Xue Lingxue or to thwart General Yu Bo’s conspiracy, they had to proceed with their plans.

Inside the high-rise building directly opposite them, in a place they could not see,

The Monarch of Fuyao Country, Han Lingshou, entered with a detached expression. The contour of his cheeks was sharp, his eyes were narrow and long. He exuded a powerful aura without being angry. Two elderly palace attendants in black silk were closely following behind him. The rest of the guards were left behind on each floor to keep watch as he climbed the stairs.

By the time he reached the top floor, Han Lingshou was followed only by two old men in black robes with white hair. His expression relaxed at once.

"Miss Xue! Miss Xue! He He..." He rubbed his hands in excitement as he approached the balcony, "When the frost falls with the string, snow fills Jiangnan!"

"Your Majesty," a palace attendant coughed lightly from behind, "Please maintain your dignity."

"..." Han Ling Shou’s expressions became stunned; he sat down sulkily and muttered: "No outsiders are here."

The two attendants started to draw the curtains and dust screens on the screen and desk. As the curtains dropped, a large, bright mirror on the side of the screen was revealed, reflecting the figures of everyone inside.

...

"Xue Lingxue! Xue Lingxue!"

When the figure holding the lute appeared on the high platform, cheers came from all around. The woman on the stage had fair and radiant skin, and her eyes were misty. If this was not Xue Lingxue, then who?

"She looks exactly the same." Lin Bei exclaimed, comparing the woman on the stage and Xue Lingxue beside him. Their looks and figures were identical.

"How else could I have mistaken her?" Iron Hammer replied: "And it’s not strange that she’s disguised her appearance. What’s truly baffling is that she’s also able to impersonate Lingxue’s zither skills. It’s simply incomprehensible."

This also was a point of doubt for Chu Liang.

Even if she could disguise her appearance, how could she disguise her zither skills? This is nearly impossible to accomplish with any divine skills.

Clang--

The sound of a string resonated, signaling the beginning of the performance.

As the gentle tunes flowed out slowly, the crowd around began to get absorbed. The piece that "Xue Lingxue" on the stage was playing was "Pingjiang Night Wind Breeze". The melody was soft and gentle, calming the mind and inducing sleep.

When the music was half over, even flying birds passing in the sky stopped to rest on tree branches, lost in the music.

"This zither music..." Even Xue Lingxue herself was somewhat shocked. "This is clearly better than when I’m playing; she has a very high musical cultivation level!"

"No," Chu Liang suddenly said, "This cannot be the Dragon Dance Lady. She doesn’t need to get close to assassinate the Fuyao Country Monarch. Their goal has already been achieved!"

As he spoke, his body soared up, turning into a gust of wind, heading directly towards the high-rise opposite.

The Daoist Rite of the Night Wind Breeze Song was swirling around that building. Those who were inside it would be affected far more than the surrounding audience. At this moment, the guards inside were likely already trapped in the Illusion Technique.

The assassination had already begun!

With Xue Lingxue’s tour performance to trick the monarch out of the palace, the guards in the building were then entranced by the melody, and there must be someone cooperating within.

Boom——

Chu Liang burst into the top floor, only to see a spacious and quiet room. There was a wide balcony in front, and only a chair in the room.

From behind, there was a sudden abnormal sound. He quickly turned around, only to see a bright mirror reflecting his own image!

"Begone!"

Chu Liang threw his hand, a ray of colorful light flew out, instantly turning into a cloud of seven-colored fog, obscuring the bright mirror.

Whoosh!

The mirror immediately flipped, and from behind, two assassins in light armor and black clothes sprung up. They held strange double-edged blades and flew towards Chu Liang as they rotated.

Chu Liang didn’t want to waste time here, he immediately spread his wings behind him, boom——

Ever since he obtained the Void Slashing Sword Dao, his previously powerful Dragon Dharma Body was not as strong as the Sword Dao, so he rarely used his physical body when fighting others.

But these two assassins’ levels of Cultivation were far beneath him. It would be a waste to use the Void Slashing against them. It would be better to save his True Qi Cultivation for subsequent foes.

Boom boom——

There was a loud noise, the two assassins’ attacks slashed on the dragon wings, and they were bounced back, flying against the wall and crashing down, motionless. Their bodies were completely broken, they were already as good as dead.

Chu Liang’s Dragon Dharma Body was weak compared to his Sword Dao Cultivation, but when compared with these two assassins, the mere backlash was enough to mortally wound them.

He continued to transform into a gust of wind, rolling down in a thunderous manner, and saw a shocking scene below the third floor.

Blood and corpses everywhere, the entire floor was drowned. Among them stood a figure shrouded in iron armor, like a Demon God. He was holding the head of an elderly black-clothed palace attendant in one hand, and with a bang-

General Yu Bo!

He actually did it himself.

The palace attendant was also a cultivator of the Seventh Realm, presumably the most important personal guard of the Fuyao Country Monarch, but he was no match for Jing Wuya, ultimately being killed on the spot.

Another palace attendant, whose realm was slightly weaker, had already been killed, lying in a pool of blood. The frightened Fuyao Country Monarch was trying to break through the building wall to escape.

However, when he tried to break through, he was bounced back by a light screen.

This building had long been set up with a Formation by someone. Otherwise, such a fight within such a short period of time would not have left the outside undisturbed.

The blood-soaked Jing Wuya caught a glimpse of Chu Liang and said in a voice as heavy as thunder, "Why must a disciple of Shu Mountain intervene in the affairs here..."

He raised his fist as he spoke.

Boom!

In the next instant, the iron armor appeared where Chu Liang was just standing.

Chu Liang, however, practiced Shrinkage to escape tens of feet away, leaning on the wall, the Demon-slaying Sword turned into the center of his palm.

Sst——

A sword light surged out, swallowing General Yu Bo’s heavy armor. After the Sword Qi wave passed, there were only scratches on the armor, but there were no severe injuries.

"Huff..."

General Yu Bo let out a breath and managed to withstand the sword, even if he wasn’t injured, he still felt out of breath.

But when he looked up again, he found that the floor was now empty, and a crack had appeared in the wall on the other side. It turned out that was the real purpose of Chu Liang’s sword, he was trying to break the Formation.

Not only had Chu Liang escaped, but the Fuyao Country Monarch had also disappeared.

General Yu Bo slowly murmured, "Chu Liang..."
