Chapter 211: Chapter 197: Luo Gongyuan’s Secret Technique, Danxia Great Saint

As these words were spoken, they startled everyone, making their hearts almost leap from their chests.

Who is Wang Shoucheng?

It is said that the deaths of Emperor Xianzong and Emperor Jingzong are heavily tied to him.

For Song Lin to dare speak like this, he must have the courage of a bear and the daring of a leopard.

"You!!"

Wang Shoucheng’s brows shot up. Ignoring Li Zhan beside him, he prepared to deliver a slap.

Song Lin felt perplexed. Why does this guy have no trace of power? Could it be an act?

Of course, he wouldn’t let himself be struck without retaliating.

Thinking this, Song Lin tilted his head to dodge the slap.

Song Lin was just about to counter and force this man to reveal his strength.

At this moment, Li Zhan’s face darkened as he reprimanded, "Enough! Fighting before me—what kind of behavior is this?"

Wang Shoucheng hesitated for a moment but ultimately stopped his hand.

Li Zhan docked two years of salary from each of them before returning to the palace.

Liu Yan and others approached, giving a thumbs-up.

"Well done! These lawless eunuchs who sow disorder should be scolded fiercely!"

"But be careful in the coming days. This eunuch is a petty, vindictive one!"

"I understand," Song Lin nodded.

Never mind the eunuchs—even if Li Zhan provoked him, he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate him either.

The upper limit of power in this world wasn’t that high—no more than the Purple Mansion.

Even if provoking formidable enemies, so what?

After all, this world was illusory. He hadn’t even gained anything here, so what harm was there in switching to another world?

What surprised Song Lin was Wang Shoucheng’s remarkable forbearance.

This man always gave him a strange feeling.

It wasn’t an act; it was genuine in nature.

Perhaps he had two personalities in one body, or he could have been parasitized by someone.

In the days that followed, Song Lin continued to pore over books.

Of course, he wasn’t idle during this time—each day he practiced the Golden Liquid Jade Liquid Rejuvenation Scripture, cultivating Rengui Water to nourish his Golden Core, deepening his Nourishing Pill realm.

Since it was slow and painstaking work, it was seldom mentioned.

On this day, Song Lin uncovered a clue.

It recounted Xuanzong’s pursuit of the Invisibility Technique.

Xuanzong once sought Luo Gongyuan to practice the Invisibility Technique, but every time he tried it, either his head would remain visible or his feet would stick out. Even when his body was fully concealed, objects like his jade pendant or headscarf would still be seen.

Xuanzong simply couldn’t master it, while Luo Gongyuan performed invisibility flawlessly, prompting him to accuse Luo Gongyuan of holding back secret teachings.

Luo Gongyuan admitted to it.

He feared that if Xuanzong mastered the Invisibility Technique, he might roam outside disguised as a commoner. Xuanzong became furious and ordered men to beat him, but Luo Gongyuan transformed into a large stone.

Li Zhan then ordered the stone to be shattered, but the fragments scattered on the ground turned into countless miniature Luo Gongyuans, laughing before disappearing into the earth.

The notes recorded that Xuanzong once directed men to dig three feet underground but encountered a thick iron slab. The slab bore no inscriptions, was indestructible, and was ultimately discarded in a corner of Zichen Hall.

"Zichen Hall..."

This was Li Zhan’s bedchamber. Perhaps he could visit it in a few days to investigate further.

Three days later, during Qixiao Festival.

Song Lin had Erlang God transform into an ordinary man to escort Pan’er for a stroll, while he himself slipped along Vermilion Bird Street and snuck into the Imperial Palace.

Inside the palace, Wang Shoucheng’s residence.

A few eunuchs were gathered.

"Something big is happening tonight. Do not leave your rooms if you have no business." Wang Shoucheng murmured.

If not for this big event, Wang Shoucheng would have long since gotten rid of that junior assistant from that day.

"Understood. What major event is it this time?" another eunuch inquired.

"Naturally, it’s the grand affair of ushering Li Zhan’s ascent to heaven. Heh heh." Wang Shoucheng’s eyes gleamed icily.

The group froze in shock. How could it already be time after just two years?

"I’ll pay homage to the divinities later. The operation will commence tonight!"

Qixiao Festival was precisely when everyone was relaxed, the perfect time to send Li Zhan to the Western Heaven.

This Li Zhan was difficult to control.

Though he had indulged in frivolity since taking the throne, glimpses of ambition were still apparent.

Despite his penchant for leisure, he never enacted tyrannical policies. Each time eunuchs proposed harsh decrees, Li Zhan would brush them off with laughter.

This showed that the man harbored a deeply scheming mind.

A few days ago, the matter regarding Song Lin had revealed subtle clues. Li Zhan was evidently reluctant to let them hold Song Lin and others accountable.

Now, this boy was only seventeen. If allowed to grow, he would certainly become a terrifying foe.

Tonight, he must die!!

After dismissing his colleagues, Wang Shoucheng entered the backyard.

Within the yard stood a locust tree. Beneath it rested a vermilion shrine containing a fierce and malevolent monkey statue.

Its dark-green face was twisted with sharp fangs, wielding a shimmering golden dagger.

"Greetings to Danxia God!"

Wang Shoucheng knelt down.

The statue’s eyes swiveled, focusing on him as eerie shrieking echoed from all directions.

"Planning to kill the Emperor again, are you?"

"I beseech Danxia God’s assistance!"

"Fine! At midnight tonight, I’ll dispatch Ghost Soldiers and Yin Generals. You’ll carry the golden knife into the hall. I will cloak the act. Remember to suppress the threshold with the Dragon Suppressing Stone to keep the Gate God from entering."

"Understood!"

Danxia God was an Evil God from the Ancient Min Region. Years ago, Wang Shoucheng discovered this stone in Fujian, and it marked the beginning of his rise as Regent King.

Initially, Wang Shoucheng was merely a petty overseer stationed outside. Meeting the Danxia Great Saint changed his fate.

Of course, Wang Shoucheng believed he had contributed plenty. He had sacrificed many treasures from the Imperial Palace to the Danxia Great Saint.

Not to mention, he had gathered the palace’s layout.

Ever since encountering the Danxia Great Saint, he had dismissed Li Zhan as insignificant.

Yet there were still obstacles.

Li Zhan’s bedchamber, the Heart Nurturing Hall, had two Gate Gods: Weio Chigong and Qin Shubao. In the past, they had been almost undefeatable. But with the decline of the Great Tang, the power of these Immortals had waned.

Even items like the Dragon-breaking Stone could suppress their Divine Power.
