Chapter 359 - Entering the Palace

The umbrella bearer left.

The surrounding fog gradually dissipated.

After a while.

Everyone regained their senses.

"What happened just now?" Someone asked.

"I'm not sure, where's the cult leader?"

"I didn't see him."

"He disappeared."

"He was obviously here to attack the city, why did he disappear?"

Everyone was talking at the same time.

Li Ganyang glanced at Liu Ping.

"Master, I'm fine." Liu Ping said.

He returned the saber to the Demon Blade Sect Master and thanked him.

"Sect Master Li, your disciple's saber techniques have already reached a certain level." The Frenzied Blade Sect Master Qian Sunhai praised.

"Don't praise him, he still needs a few more years of training." Li Ganyang said calmly.

In the bedroom, the Emperor and the sect masters discussed for a while, then decided to send people to check the situation.

The evil umbrella bearer was gone.

Let's not talk about this for now.

The entire capital city was shrouded in fog for a night, who knew how many casualties there were.

They had to understand the situation immediately to make reference for the next step of deployment.

The tense and solemn atmosphere did not dissipate.

Liu Ping held the Unbound Eye in his hand and glanced at the bedroom from time to time.

With the title of "Occultisim Bomber" above his head, the umbrella bearer would only find trouble with him if he went crazy.

But Shui Shu was still sleeping in her swaddling clothes.

He did not know when the umbrella bearer would return.

"Is there any way to get close to Shui Shu, just stay by her side ..."

Liu Ping fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, someone made a soft sound not far away, attracting everyone's attention.

"Sect Master Xiao, what's wrong?" Someone asked.

Sect Master Xiao of the Demon Mountain Sect hesitated and said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I keep feeling that the power of the five elements that I can resonate with seems to have grown stronger."

The sect masters looked at each other.

"I actually had a similar feeling, but since no one said anything, I thought it was my illusion." A sect master said.

"It's not your illusion." The Demon Blade Sect Master said.

He pulled out his saber and waved it casually, the saber suddenly emitted layers of golden light.

"Everyone, look, this is the Five Elements Metal Technique, it can make the moves extremely sharp. In the past, when I used it, there was no resonance of the five elements. Now, the power has increased by about 20%." The Frenzied Blade Sect Master said.

"Me too."

"That's right. My moves have become even more powerful."

Everyone said one after another.

At the same time, the same thought appeared in everyone's mind.

Could it be that the power of the five elements had begun to awaken?

At this moment, the Emperor stood up and said, "Sect Masters, your senses are not wrong. I have already sensed the true power of the Five Elements just now. It is constantly growing stronger."

Everyone was overjoyed.

"Since Your Majesty has said so, then there is no problem," said one of the sect leaders.

The Emperor nodded and said, "Previously, the power of the Laws was extremely weak, so even my palace was unable to resist the invasion of the monsters. But now, the power of the Laws has been reignited."

He raised both hands and formed a strange hand seal.

Incantation!

Liu Ping's eyes twitched.

In this world of martial arts, there were actually techniques that had been passed down!

However, upon closer inspection, it was different from the cultivation techniques.

Spells of the cultivation world used hand seals to activate spiritual energy and harmonize it with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, mobilizing the power of the five elements.

However, the Emperor's hand gestures seemed to be summoning something ...

Weng!

A strange wave of energy came from the depths of the palace and quickly spread out in all directions.

The Emperor showed a look of nostalgia and spoke.

"This is a barrier technique passed down by our royal family since ancient times. It is said that it can be used to defend against enemies in times of crisis. Unfortunately, there was no need to use it in ancient times, and in the recent few hundred years, the power of the Laws has been weakened, so it couldn't be used at all"

"Now, I will open it. Everyone, from now on, the capital is safe"

Everyone, both near and far, heaved a sigh of relief.

Liu Ping looked at the void of space, only to see lines of text floating without moving:

[The evil creatures you killed have all been converted into the power of the Law of Fire]

[Attention]

[During your battle with the Occultism, you cut open its body and allowed the world to absorb a strand of the Law's' emergence 'power]

[Furthermore, from tonight onwards, more civilians will be willing to learn fist techniques. The Law of Fire of the world is currently experiencing an explosion, causing the other Laws to recover a bit of their power]

[The world's Law origin power has been strengthened]

[Your strength has increased as well]

[Current world ranking: 11th]

Liu Ping glanced through it and knew that the Heroic Spirit UI was referring to the giant python.

If only I knew, I would've slashed it a few more times.

He thought regretfully, then turned his gaze to the Emperor.

The royal family.

They were able to use the world's Law origin power to create a 'barrier' around the capital.

More importantly, the heroic spirit's operation interface remained silent.

With the current strength of the world, this was actually quite an impressive feat.

What kind of secret is the royal family hiding?

A second later.

Shui Shu's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Liu Ping, it's best that you stay in the palace. Otherwise, when that evil creature returns, I won't be able to deal with it at all, only death awaits us"

"I think so too" Liu Ping silently replied, "Right now, I need to find an opportunity to legitimately stay in the palace"

"A way ... Actually, ever since I reincarnated, I've been preparing for you to approach me" Shui Shu said.

"You've already prepared for this?" Liu Ping was surprised.

"Of course, as soon as I found out that I was an infant, I knew that I had to find a way for you to approach me openly, only then would I be safe" Shui Shu said.

"What way?" Liu Ping asked.

"First of all, you have to admit, as an infant, I don't have many options" Shui Shu said with a strange tone.

"Of course, I can understand" Liu Ping said.

Shui Shu didn't say anything.

Liu Ping waited for a while, but still didn't hear any further explanation from Shui Shu.

He was secretly puzzled.

Suddenly.

A loud cry came from the bedchamber.

This cry successfully attracted the attention of most people.

"The princess is crying."

Someone said softly.

The Emperor's expression changed, he stood up from the dragon throne and said loudly: "Where are the palace guards who are skilled in the Fire element?"

An official hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, two of them died in battle, the others were transported away by the fog just now, we don't know where they are now"

The Emperor said loudly: "It's too late, Martial Alliance's Sect Masters, who is skilled in resonating with the Fire element?"

Everyone was silent, they didn't understand what the Emperor meant.

A Sect Master who was close to the Emperor sighed: "With the current situation, let's just say it, otherwise, if the princess doesn't have anyone by her side, it'll be troublesome"

"Say it" the Emperor said dejectedly.

"Everyone," the Sect Master said to everyone, "Her Highness is born with the Ice Bloodline, before the age of 18, she must be guided by the Fire element to neutralize the cold in her body, only then can she survive."

A female Sect Master said sadly: "The royal bloodline is already so weak, yet she still has to suffer such a thing?"

"It's not entirely a bad thing," the Emperor said. "The bloodline of ice is extremely rare and is often accompanied by extremely powerful supernatural powers. The only troublesome thing is that someone needs to constantly use the power of fire of the five elements to help her neutralize the power of ice in her body. This will prevent the ice from corroding her meridians and causing irreversible damage."

Everyone nodded.

Liu Ping asked silently in his heart: "This is the idea you came up with?"

Shui Shu said, "This is my innate talent."

The next second.

The baby's cries became louder.

The Emperor said: "Sect Masters, who can help the princess?"

Liu Ping raised his hand and said loudly: "I'll do it"

The Emperor glanced at him and nodded: "So you're the disciple of the Sect Master of the Myriad Spirits Temple who established the Fist Surpassing Martial Arts School."

"Your Majesty knows me?" Liu Ping said in surprise.

"I know all the heroes in the world" The Emperor sized him up and nodded: "It's a great thing to teach martial arts to the people of the world for free. Come over and help my princess get rid of the cold."

"Yes."

Under the gaze of the Sect Masters, he walked all the way into the palace and came in front of the Emperor.

The Emperor wore a red robe and had a sword at his waist. He was slender and looked quite powerful.

But if one looked at him carefully, one would realize that his face was pale and he looked a little sickly, as if he had not recovered from the injuries he suffered in the previous assassination.

"Do you know how to channel fire to expel the cold?" The Emperor asked.

"Yes" Liu Ping said.

"Carry the princess and try to channel fire to expel the cold." The Emperor said.

"Understood" Liu Ping said.

The Emperor looked at the princess in the swaddling clothes again and again, then reluctantly passed her to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping hugged the princess with both hands.

Strangely, the princess stopped crying in an instant.

The official at the side asked curiously: "You haven't even used your martial arts, why does Her Highness seem to have recovered?"

Liu Ping silently channeled his martial arts and resonated with the law of fire.

Soon, he sensed the cold in the baby girl's body and guided the law of fire to warm himself and the baby girl.

The baby girl in the swaddling clothes giggled as if she felt very comfortable.

The officials instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Ganyang, who was extremely nervous at the side, also heaved a huge sigh of relief.

The Emperor laughed and said: "Good! Good! In the past, even when someone tried to expel the cold, she never laughed like this. Looks like your martial arts is very suitable for her! "

About a quarter of an hour later.

Liu Ping's martial arts ended.

The baby girl in the swaddling clothes had already fallen asleep.

"Your Majesty."

Liu Ping passed the swaddling clothes to the Emperor.

The Emperor took the swaddling clothes and said in a low voice: "Liu Ping, I've seen your strength. You're talented and learn things quickly, but sometimes you can't hold back when fighting. This proves that your resonance with the five elements is very deep."

"Are you willing to stay in the palace to accompany and protect the princess?"
