Chapter 134 It’s broken, the saint came to the door (please subscribe)
"Yang has nothing else to do, so I will go with you to eliminate that evildoer."

After a slight hesitation, Yang Ling nodded and accepted Yun Zhongzi's invitation.

A glimmer of relief flashed across Yun Zhongzi's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said, "With the help of fellow Taoists, we will surely succeed in one fell swoop."

The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the gate of the Great Shang Palace.

At this time, the gate of this magnificent royal palace was closed, with no intention of opening. However, a group of civil and military officials gathered outside the palace wall, all of them looking anxious and talking about something.

"Your Majesty has not attended court for several months. No one cares about state affairs, and government affairs are becoming increasingly neglected. The fate of the Shang Dynasty is in jeopardy," sighed a civil servant.

"If this continues, my Shang dynasty may be in danger!" another general said angrily.

"Your Majesty has rarely taken care of government affairs since you married that concubine. Everyone in the court knows about this. Now all the officials have submitted petitions, but Your Majesty has not responded. We, the ministers, are really at a loss as to what to do."

……

Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi were both highly accomplished Taoists, and they could hear clearly all the private conversations among the civil and military ministers.

The two exchanged glances and both felt that this trip came at the right time!
At this time, an old man in court robes with a sad face looked up and saw them. After a moment of hesitation, he said seriously, "You two look very elegant. I wonder where you are from and why you are here?"

Yun Zhongzi said bluntly: "I am Yun Zhongzi, a Qi-refining practitioner from Mount Zhongnan. I observed the stars last night and saw that Chaoge was filled with evil spirits, so I came to the palace today to exorcise the evil spirits!"

"Exorcism?"

The old man's expression suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise: "Master, are you saying that there is a monster hidden in this palace?"

Yun Zhongzi nodded and said seriously: "If this monster becomes powerful, it will not only endanger this palace, but the entire Shang Dynasty!"

He had a solemn and serious expression, and his otherworldly temperament made him look righteous and awe-inspiring, which frightened many civil and military officials.

"No wonder His Majesty hasn't been to court for several months. It turns out he was bewitched by a demon!"

"The evildoers are wreaking havoc in the palace. This is a sign of the country's demise!"

"That's right. If this continues, the Shang Dynasty will probably perish!"

"..."

The old man in court robes frowned, looked at Yun Zhongzi and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, as a human king, you are protected by the destiny of humanity, how could any evildoer dare to approach you?

You two mountain wanderers, please stop spreading rumors and causing trouble here, or else don’t blame me for punishing you!”

Prime Minister?

So this old man must be Shang Rong, right?

Yang Ling was thoughtful. In his impression, this old prime minister was also loyal to King Di Xin of Shang. In terms of status, he was only second to Grand Tutor Wen Zhong. But in the end, he ended up dying tragically in the Jiujian Palace.

At this moment, the old prime minister was obviously also trying to protect the reputation of the King of Shang. Otherwise, if these words spread, it would inevitably cause undercurrents in the court and the country.

Yun Zhongzi frowned upon hearing this and was about to say something else, but Yang Ling beside him shook his head and said calmly: "Daoyou, why bother wasting time with them? Let's just go in and kill that evildoer."

After saying this, without waiting for Yun Zhongzi to reply, he directly flew up into the air, flew over the high palace wall, and landed in the palace.

Although there were several large formations protecting the outer perimeter of this palace, they were like child's play in front of Yang Ling and were completely ineffective.

Yun Zhongzi was stunned for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Daoyou are too impatient."

Having said that, seeing that Yang Ling had already entered the palace, he quickly flew up, turned into a stream of light, passed through the numerous restrictions, and quickly chased after him.

"It's a god! It's really a god coming!" A civil servant was stunned, with deep awe showing on his face.

"What god! There's an assassin! Quick, go and inform the guards!" A general next to him shouted in panic with a pale face.

At this time, the guards in the palace had also been alarmed. Wearing armor and holding long spears, they rushed towards Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi from all directions.

The leading general shouted, "Whoever dares to trespass into the palace must surrender immediately!"

"I am here to exorcise demons..."

Yun Zhongzi took a step forward and was about to explain when Yang Ling beside him blew gently, and immediately a mysterious magical power dissipated.

At this moment, the guards standing in front of them only felt their bodies tighten, and then an inexplicable force froze them in place.

They opened their eyes wide in horror, only to find that they couldn't even move a finger.

"Daoyou, let's continue."

As Yang Ling spoke, he walked past the guards and headed straight into the depths of the palace.

"This..." Yun Zhongzi looked at the statue-like guards and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Daoyou, you are too impatient. Will we be regarded as assassins?"

Yang Ling said nonchalantly: "We are here only to eliminate the monsters. After we eliminate the monsters, we will just leave. Why should we care about them?
If we delay, it will give the evildoer time to react. If he sees the situation is not good and runs away, wouldn't it be a waste of our trip?"

Yun Zhongzi nodded slightly, "Your words make sense, fellow Taoist. I am too obsessed with conventional etiquette, and I have fallen behind."

……

The Zhaixing Tower is the tallest building in this palace and even in the entire Chaoge.

At this moment, in this magnificent palace, King Di Xin of Shang was playing and cuddling with his new favorite concubine Su Daji.

Every frown and smile of Su Daji seemed to contain infinite charm, which made Emperor Xin obsessed with her. He could not help but indulge in her and forget about the affairs of state.

Just as the two were enjoying themselves, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside, followed by a series of hurried shouts: "Assassin!" "Assassin! An assassin has broken into the palace!"

"Quick escort!"

"Protect the king!"

A trace of panic flashed across Emperor Xin's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.

He quickly pulled out a jewel-inlaid sword from the treasure box beside the bed. The sword was shining with cold light, and it was obviously extraordinary.

"Don't worry, my beloved, I am here."

Emperor Xin protected Su Daji behind him, looked out vigilantly, held his sword across his chest, and was ready to meet the enemy at any time.

There was also a trace of panic on Su Daji's face, but where Emperor Xin could not see, there was a hint of sarcasm and indifference.

How could a few mere assassins scare a nine-tailed fox demon who had practiced for thousands of years?
At this moment, a breeze blew, and two figures appeared out of thin air in the Zhaixing Tower. They were Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi.

"Your Majesty, save me!!!"

Su Daji's voice suddenly became sharp. She grasped Di Xin's sleeves tightly with both hands, her eyes full of fear.

Obviously, she had sensed something was wrong.

Emperor Xin tightly grasped his sword, stared at Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi with a sharp gaze, and said coldly: "How dare you trespass into the palace? What do you want to do?"

Yang Ling glanced at him and could vaguely see auspicious light and auspicious colors above Emperor Xin's head, like the shape of a black bird, but it seemed a little dim.

Obviously, this is the manifestation of the destiny of the Shang Dynasty.

With its protection, ordinary immortals and gods cannot harm Emperor Xin at all.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. My name is Yun Zhongzi, and I am a Qi-refining practitioner from Mount Zhongnan. I have barged into the palace this time to exorcise demons."

"Get rid of the monster?" Emperor Xin was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily: "This is my bedroom, where did the monster come from!"

Yang Ling pointed at Su Daji who was hiding behind Emperor Xin, "Isn't the evildoer right here?"

As he spoke, his mind had already locked onto Su Daji. If she made any unusual movement, he would kill her immediately.

I saw Su Daji with dark hair, apricot face and rosy cheeks, the light color of spring mountains, and the slender waist of a willow. She was really like a drunken crabapple in spring, or a pear blossom in the rain, like a fairy from the ninth heaven descending from the Yaochi Lake, or Chang'e leaving the Jade Palace in the moon.

Yun Zhongzi also looked towards Su Daji and shouted, "Monster, if you surrender and sincerely repent, I can still spare your life. If you say no, today will be the day you die!"

Su Daji was already frightened out of her wits. She looked at Emperor Xin in panic and said, "Your Majesty, save me! These two weirdos are so scary. Your Majesty, please drive them out!"

She was very charming and good at bewitching people. With just a few words, Emperor Xin was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky. He swung his sword and chopped at Yun Zhongzi, cursing, "You bastard Taoist priest are full of nonsense. How could my beloved concubine be a monster?"

Yun Zhongzi dodged the sword and said with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of this monster soon, I'm afraid the Great Shang Empire will be in danger."

Yang Ling frowned and said, "Don't waste your time talking. Just kill this evildoer first."

Hearing this, Su Daji was horrified and quickly turned into a gust of black wind and fled outside.

"The evildoer goes away!"

Yun Zhongzi's tongue burst into spring thunder, and a white light appeared out of thin air above his head and shot out, directly cutting off the black wind. Two bloody pieces of the white fox's corpse fell from mid-air.

"Your Majesty, please look, this is your beloved concubine!"

Emperor Xin stood there in a daze with a pale face, looking at the corpse on the ground.

The Shang king's hands were shaking, and the sword slipped from his fingers with a crisp sound.

His eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul. The beauty who had once haunted his dreams turned out to be a monster.

At this moment, in addition to shock, his heart was filled with deep fear and confusion.

Yang Ling and Yun Zhongzi did not even look at Emperor Xin. The goal of their trip had been achieved, so they soared into the sky and soon left the Great Shang Palace.

Looking at the palace gradually shrinking under his feet, Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thanks to your decisiveness, otherwise we might not be able to eradicate this evildoer today!"

Yang Ling smiled slightly but did not answer.

After seeing with his own eyes the scene of Yun Zhongzi raising his sword and killing the nine-tailed fox, his initial doubts had long since vanished.

This Yun Zhongzi didn't come to Chaoge for show or to stir up trouble. He really came here just to get rid of demons!

Of course, I don’t know how his fellow brothers would look upon him if they knew about this.

After all, Da Shang is the territory of Jiejiao, and the twelve golden immortals of Xianjiao would like to have a nine-tailed fox in Chaoge to cause trouble...

While they were thinking, a ray of colorful light suddenly fell in front of them. When the light faded away, a fairy appeared. She was wearing colorful clothes, a phoenix crown on her head, with a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament.

The fairy smiled slightly and bowed to them, "I am Cai Feng, a disciple of Lady Nuwa, and I am honored to meet you two fellow Taoists.

I am here to follow the order of the Queen Mother, inviting you two Taoist friends to visit Taisu Heaven."

Hearing this, Yang Ling suddenly felt something was wrong.

Oh no, the saint is here!
