Chapter 1214 Agree
Zhong Lingyun's expression changed slightly, and she moved swiftly, shouting, "What are you doing?"

A young city guard sneered, "You cunning scoundrel, I almost fell for your trick!"

His eyes dimmed, the golden light fading, and he sneered repeatedly, "Too bad, you're unlucky!"

He took out a golden token from his pocket, which was shimmering with golden light.

Upon seeing the unusual appearance of the gold medal, the city guards who were rushing towards Zhong Lingyun attacked even more fiercely.

Holding up a gleaming golden sign, the young city guard stood tall and proud, smiling arrogantly: "No demon can sneak into the imperial city, no matter how strong your cultivation is!"

"Everyone has the right to kill evil spirits! Kill them!"

"kill--!"

"kill!"

……

The city guards sped up, their swords flashing like streaks of lightning, dozens of white lights forming a sea of ​​light that threatened to engulf him.

Zhong Lingyun's eyes suddenly lit up. She darted out diagonally, then veered into a huge "V" shape, trying to avoid them and rush towards the city gate.

"This road doesn't work!"

Suddenly a shout rang out, and two middle-aged men rushed out of the city gate, took two steps to his side, and clapped their hands out.

A beam of white light shot out from Zhong Lingyun's left sleeve, heading towards one of the middle-aged men, while simultaneously striking another middle-aged man with her right palm.

The white light was actually a throwing knife, which was knocked away by the middle-aged man's palm strike.

"boom!"

He was slapped away by another middle-aged man.

"Hey, that's it!?"

The two chuckled, then flashed away, giving chase and intending to kill him outright.

Everyone has the right to kill evil spirits; it's never wrong to kill them when you see them.

Zhong Lingyun was in the air, her hands forming a mudra, and she touched her heart with her fingertips. A ray of golden light entered her heart from her fingertips.

The next moment, he suddenly accelerated, like a wisp of smoke bypassing the two middle-aged men and drifting into the distance.

"what?"

"That's a bit odd."

"Unorthodox and unorthodox methods always have some strange and bizarre aspects, so it's not advisable to pursue them any further."

If this demon is just bait, and a stronger demon emerges while we're leaving, taking the opportunity to sneak into the city, then we'll have failed in our duty to guard the city gates and committed a grave mistake.

The two watched as Zhong Lingyun transformed into a wisp of smoke, drifting away and disappearing into the distance.

"Never mind him."

"Continue to check those entering the city; do not let your guard down!"

"Yes!"

……

Zhu Lingyun and He Lingchuan stood atop the mountain, gazing at the scene before them.

He Lingchuan strained his eyes to see clearly into the distance, then frowned and asked, "What is this gold medal?"

Their secret technique is extremely ingenious, completely concealing their presence and fooling the city guards' Candle Demon Eyes.

Even a Venerable One who has reached the Ninefold Perfection cannot sense any evil energy when facing Himself.

If it weren't for this gold medal, Zhong Lingyun would have already entered the city and could also leave, able to come and go freely.

The problem lies with this gold medal.

Zhu Lingyun chuckled lightly: "As expected, I can't get in."

"Mr. Zhu, have you tried it?"

"Ah."

"..."

"I thought your two cliffs' secret techniques were stronger, but they're nothing special."

He Lingchuan retorted, "Mr. Zhu, we are collaborators; we are one."

Zhu Lingyun said, "That's why I mentioned this in advance; this is only the first hurdle."

"...What other checkpoints are there?" He Lingchuan asked.

Zhu Lingyun said, "If there's this gold token outside the city, what about inside the city? What about the Imperial Ancestral Temple? Your inside agents probably haven't practiced our sect's internal cultivation method, have they?"

"Of course you can't practice."

"If you haven't practiced it, how do you know there aren't other treasures in the Imperial Ancestral Temple that can detect our aura?"

He Lingchuan nodded slowly: "So we still need to be prepared, and not force the issue when the time comes."

Zhu Lingyun said, "With Mr. Zhong's cultivation level, entering the imperial city is no different from committing suicide. He's far too incompetent!"

He Lingchuan's expression was not good.

Zhong Lingyun, who was rushing over, also looked unwell.

Zhu Lingyun shook his head at him.

Zhong Lingyun smiled wryly: "I didn't expect the city guards to be so strict now, it's very troublesome!"

He Lingchuan said, "It's fortunate that we knew in advance."

Zhu Lingyun chuckled, "So, if you know that, you can just barge in?"

He Lingchuan said, "There is still a way."

"Tell me about it." Zhu Lingyun appeared to be listening attentively, but his tone was somewhat sarcastic.

He Lingchuan looked at Zhong Lingyun.

Zhong Lingyun sighed helplessly, "That's the only way we can use."

"Which move?" Zhu Lingyun asked.

Zhong Lingyun looked at He Lingchuan. He Lingchuan said, "Have a large number of experts forcefully attack the city gate at the same time, while we take advantage of the chaos to sneak in."

"That's ruthless!" Zhu Lingyun snorted.

Let a large number of demons hold back these city guards, or even lure them away from the mountain.

This is sending the demons to their deaths, sacrificing their lives to create an opportunity for them to enter the city.

Zhu Lingyun shook his head: "I can't be that ruthless."

He Lingchuan and Zhong Lingyun frowned.

Zhu Lingyun said, "The Flying Spirit Sect and the Myriad Manifestations Sect have many disciples, let them go."

He Lingchuan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

Although the disciples in the sect value their lives and are not afraid of dying.

Each disciple could provide him with a share of cultivation resources, which was a guarantee for his cultivation and also his valuable asset.

Sending only two disciples from their sect to their deaths without sending any disciples from the Giant Spirit Sect would be too much of a bargain.

They were extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Lingyun, yet they insisted on using him.

Zhong Lingyun said, "We can't afford to lose too many disciples from either sect. It would be best if we could send a few disciples from the Giant Spirit Sect."

Zhu Lingyun shook his head and said, "It's fine to send out the disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect, but let's not even enter this imperial city."

“Mr. Zhu!” He Lingchuan shouted.

He could no longer contain his anger and glared coldly at Zhu Lingyun: "Isn't this going too far?"

Zhu Lingyun smiled indifferently: "Then shall we part ways and go our separate ways?"

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. He, please say less," Zhong Lingyun hurriedly said. "Let's calm down."

"I've remained calm throughout," Zhu Lingyun said. "It's you who have been harboring malicious intentions all along, isn't it?"

“Mr. Zhu has misunderstood us.” Zhong Lingyun said helplessly, “We are sincerely looking forward to cooperating with you and are extremely eager for your help.”

Zhu Lingyun shook his head with a cold laugh: "I descended into the body of a divine child, whose senses are extremely sharp."

He was certain that these two people had ill intentions and were plotting to harm him at any moment.

But he kept playing along, just to get more information.

Moreover, this is just a clone.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "Mr. Zhu, you're overthinking it. All we care about is that treasure; nothing else matters!"

Zhu Lingyun snorted and said, "Then you two sects' disciples can go and break through the city gates, right?"

"Sigh..." He Lingchuan sighed, "To show our sincerity, we'll agree... Mr. Zhu, are you satisfied now?"

"Alright," Zhu Lingyun said noncommittally, "Perhaps I'm overthinking it."

Zhong Lingyun said, "Then let's act immediately and let them make their move. Mr. Zhu, please wait for us here."

"Go on, go on," Zhu Lingyun waved his hand. "Hurry up."

He watched the two walk away together, a cold smile appearing on his face.

They became even more convinced that they were planning to sabotage them.

……

Chu Zhiyuan composed himself and slowly paced back and forth in Huang Zhengyang's courtyard.

He suddenly stopped and turned to look at the courtyard gate.

Huang Zhengyang pushed the door open and came in with a smile on his face: "It's done."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and asked, "Brother Huang, what connections did you make?"

Huang Zhengyang said, "I have found two princes, Prince Su and Prince Cheng."

Chu Zhiyuan asked in surprise, "Didn't you look for Prince Zhuang?"

"If I go to Prince Zhuang, he will ask me why I don't go to him myself."

"Brother Huang, you are very thoughtful. I admire you," Chu Zhiyuan exclaimed.

This thoughtfulness and consideration deeply moved him, and he couldn't help but sigh with gratitude.

Huang Zhengyang laughed and said, "You can't be presumptuous in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. There are many rules inside, and I'll explain them to you in detail."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Huang Zhengyang's face darkened, his expression turned serious, and he began to recount the many taboos and rules of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Chu Zhiyuan listened attentively.

After hearing these taboos, he became even more curious about the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

What does the Imperial Ancestral Temple, which enshrines the four imperial families, actually look like?
A layer of fog enveloped the outside, making it difficult to see clearly with the super-sensory perception.

Now I must go and see for myself.

"Let's go," Huang Zhengyang said. "I'll escort you to the outside of the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Brother Huang, aren't you going in?"

Huang Zhengyang shook his head and said, "I won't go in this time."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

It seems that the Imperial Ancestral Temple is indeed located on a steep cliff, making it difficult to enter.

Under normal circumstances, since Huang Zhengyang was willing to swallow his pride, he could have gone in and taken a look, and he might have gained some insights.

But they couldn't get in.

It's not that he doesn't want to go in, but that he can't.

This opportunity is truly rare and a great favor indeed.

Huang Zhengyang and he left the Exorcism Bureau and chatted as they walked eastward.

Chu Zhiyuan recounted how the four sects' experts destroyed the Giant Spirit Sect, causing Huang Zhengyang to shake his head in disbelief.
