Chapter 163 The strength of Tashan has increased dramatically! The Yongle Emperor has been assassina
Tashan is obedient.
He moved as soon as Chen Fan finished speaking!
With lightning speed, he attacked as a blur!
As the wind whistled through the air at high speed, a sound resembling thunder could be faintly heard!
In Chen Fan's eyes!
A sharp claw covered in red scales lunged at you!
Seeing this, he remained as still as a mountain and immediately began to fully circulate his spiritual energy!
With the gathering of spiritual energy, a silver-white barrier appeared in front of him!
boom!
The moment the Tashan claws struck the barrier, a dull thud resounded!
"Let's try again!" Chen Fan's lips curled up as he looked at the tower mountain, which he couldn't advance an inch!
With a powerful jolt, he suddenly used the momentum to leap into the air!
A silver longsword appeared in his hand!
Roar!
The towering creature, which had been knocked back, let out a low growl, then swung its claws and looked up.
Chen Fan, who descended from the sky, smiled, and his longsword burst forth with astonishing sword energy!
As the sword energy materialized, it formed a green dragon that rushed straight towards Tower Mountain!
Roar!
Seeing this, Tashan also threw a punch with all his might!
Rumble!
With a deafening explosion, the dust kicked up by the sword energy instantly engulfed everything!
After the dust settled, Pagoda Mountain remained standing in the same spot.
Completely unharmed, it awaits its owner's next command!
However, after Chen Fan used his latest sword technique, he stopped making moves.
With a smile on his face, he remarked:
"Our sword, the Azure Dragon of the Two Sleeves, was used at seventy percent of its power... more than enough to kill a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm... yet it left you completely unharmed. Truly impressive!"
Tashan remained silent after hearing the news.
Standing there, he was like a wall!
Chen Fan, unfazed by such occurrences, didn't say anything more.
Judging from Ta Shan's current physical strength, he's probably as strong as Ren Dahai!
A cultivator at the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining Realm!
With this trump card, Chen Fan feels much more at ease going out in the future!
And Tashan hasn't even reached the Iron-level puppet stage yet!
If he reaches the strength of an Iron-level puppet, he will have an extra Foundation Establishment cultivator as his bodyguard!
Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on Chen Fan's face!
……
Time flew by, and three days passed quickly.
Early in the morning.
News has come from the palace.
The Yongle Emperor was assassinated within the territory of the Yan Kingdom!
At first, everyone thought it was the assassin from the Yan Kingdom who did it!
But the final investigation revealed that the assassin was from the Church of Light!
The Yongle Emperor was furious!
Order a nationwide manhunt for members of the Brightness Cult!
Chen Fan had just returned from the fields when he heard the news.
He was exhausted after finally finishing harvesting the spirit rice!
In the kitchen.
"Godfather, all the Imperial Guards in the palace are out now. The Brightness Cult is incredibly audacious; they actually attempted to assassinate His Majesty!"
Looking at the little stool with a surprised expression.
Chen Fan smiled but remained silent.
He wondered what kind of expression the little eunuch would have if he knew that the founding of the Church of Light was closely related to him.
"Godfather, I heard from those eunuchs in the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs that..." Little Stool chattered on and on:
"The Church of Light seems to be connected to the Jianwen Emperor... Do you think that's true?"
Chen Fan smiled, knowing he still had business to attend to outside the palace.
He stood up, his eyes half-closed, and said:
"Whether it's true or false isn't that important. What's important for you right now is cultivation... The New Year is almost here, and you still haven't broken through to the Iron Skin Realm. We don't even know what to say to you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Dengzi's face turned bright red.
Knowing he was slow-witted, he smiled wryly:
"Godfather... your son is dull-witted and has disappointed you..."
"Being stupid isn't terrible," Chen Fan said earnestly.
"Giving up is terrible. Take it slow, we believe in you... I'm leaving!"
"Yes, Godfather..." Looking at his godfather's departing figure, Xiao Dengzi's face showed a hint of helplessness.
He thought to himself that he had been practicing desperately these past two days, but he still couldn't break through that barrier.
Having been stuck at the border for almost half a month, it's no wonder he was anxious.
Just as my godfather said.
Being anxious won't help!
Feeling much more at peace, Xiao Deng shook his head slightly and continued his cross-legged meditation...
……
Leave the Imperial Stables.
Chen Fan left the palace.
He was going to Luoyang Market again, and there were quite a few people waiting for him!
In a hurry.
Chen Fan then went to the Lion Tower.
It was faintly visible that the restaurant was bustling with activity, almost full.
He almost couldn't find a seat, but eventually found a corner seat by the window and sat down.
With a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine, Chen Fan began to cover the entire restaurant with his divine sense.
Under his investigation, every blade of grass and every tree in the Lion Tower was within his perception!
He had barely sat down when he heard the news he wanted to hear.
"The Church of Light is truly fearless! I heard that assassin single-handedly broke through a thousand armored soldiers and charged right up to Emperor Yongle's central military tent before being stopped!"
"Your information is outdated. It's said that the assassin was less than ten steps away from the Yongle Emperor before being killed by the army!"
"The Church of Light is growing in power; I've heard it has branches throughout the Yan Kingdom, mostly with former Yan citizens joining!"
"The Yan Kingdom? The Yan Kingdom now only has one capital city left. Its demise is only a matter of time. However, the Yan Kingdom has a large population, and Emperor Yongle... his massacres of cities have stirred up a lot of public anger!"
……
I got the gist of it.
Chen Fan now understood the situation regarding the assassination of the Yongle Emperor!
Adding to what Xiaodengzi said, he guessed that this was the Eighth Prince's method!
You have to understand that the royal family is now being harassed by Emperor Jianwen.
There are no cultivators on the surface, and it's forbidden for them to exist!
Now, Emperor Yongle is personally leading a million-strong army to conquer the Yan Kingdom!
It seems absolutely safe!
But in the eyes of cultivators like Chen Fan, it seemed to be nothing special!
In his view, the Eighth Prince must have also set his sights on this point, which is why he sent someone to assassinate him!
Moreover, the assassins they sent out were definitely Qi Refining Realm cultivators!
The purpose was probably to force the cultivators behind Emperor Yongle to take action!
That's how it works!
The envoy from the Changchun Sect will once again descend upon the Great Abyss to punish Emperor Yongle!
Chen Fan shook his head inwardly, lost in thought.
He really didn't want to care about royal matters.
If it weren't for the fact that he lived in the Imperial Horse Stable, he wouldn't have been caught in the crossfire!
He won't listen to a word!
Afterwards, Chen Fan had a few drinks and then left in a hurry!
Once outside the city, he rode Black Wind straight into the woods!
As soon as he entered the forest, Chen Fan immediately began setting up the transmission array!
After the formation was completed, he stepped into it!
next second!
The towering city walls of Luoyang came into view!
Upon seeing this, Chen Fan, with a smile on his face, immediately entered the city with his hands behind his back.
Looking closely, it seems that there are quite a few more people entering the city today than before.
Moreover, these people are a mixed bag, with many being cultivators.
Wearing a straw hat and a mask, Chen Fan glanced at them a few times and suspected that these people were here for the auction!
He shook his head slightly, secretly speculating, and walked step by step into the city.
When passing by the gate of Luoyang city.
Chen Fan also saw something interesting.
That means the Brightness Cult that used to set up tents and distribute porridge here is no longer here!
On the contrary, there were many wanted posters on the wall!
The person depicted on one of the wanted posters was none other than the woman in white!
Chen Fan squinted at it for a couple of seconds, then shook his head and said:
"Only ten low-grade spirit stones... that's practically worthless!"
