Chapter 231: Imperial Seal
Hongyang Palace.
This is the most magnificent palace of the Hongyang Dynasty, the core of the imperial city, and the place where Emperor Yang Yun meets with officials and handles government affairs.
It is now night, with dark clouds covering the moon, and there is no starlight, full of darkness.
The more such weather, the stricter the guards in the palace, and the guards patrolling everywhere are all masters who have practiced internal strength.
Especially in front of Hongyang Palace, the guards are the most strict and the number is the largest. They are all concentrating and staring at every corner.
Unlike the darkness outside, Hongyang Palace is still brightly lit and very bright.
It is now the hour of Hai, but Emperor Yang Yun is still handling government affairs in Hongyang Palace.
The memorials are piled up like mountains.
The Hongyang Dynasty is not very peaceful now. Bandits are everywhere, and the major martial arts sects seem to have rebellious intentions. It is also a year of famine, and the people in the northwestern states and counties are not very stable.
So the memorials reporting the chaos in various places and requesting the emperor to make a ruling are constantly sent to Hongyang Palace like snowflakes.
Emperor Yang Yun of Hongyang has been staying up late to review memorials for half a month.
"Huh!" Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, closed a memorial, pinched his temples, and planned to relax and rest first, but he was reluctant to let go of the memorial in his hand.
Then, his eyes fell on the imperial seal at the corner of the table, raised his hand and took the imperial seal in his palm, and looked at it carefully.
Although this imperial seal has been with him for decades, it has never left him since he inherited the throne.
He is very clear about every detail on it.
But no matter when, as long as he holds this imperial seal in his hand for more than half a quarter of an hour, he feels like he has infinite power, and his physical and mental fatigue will be quickly relieved.
It's just that the late emperor once said before he abdicated and retreated that the imperial seal condensed the luck of the entire Hongyang Dynasty.
Every time the imperial seal is effective, it actually consumes the luck of the Hongyang Dynasty.
Therefore, it must not be used too much.
Otherwise, the entire Hongyang Dynasty will gradually decline, chaos will occur everywhere, and the people will suffer.
"What a treasure." Yang Yun gently stroked the imperial seal and couldn't let it go.
He knew very well what the consequences would be if he frequently used the imperial seal to restore his spirit and physical strength, but he couldn't help it after all. He took the imperial seal in his hand again and played with it for half a quarter of an hour.
After this half a quarter of an hour, Yang Yun's spirit immediately recovered to an extremely full state.
Then, he put the imperial seal back on the corner of the table, opened the memorial again, and continued to review it, as if he was a good emperor who was diligent in politics and loved the people.
But in fact, Yang Yun didn't care about the chaos reflected in these memorials. What he really cared about was the comfortable feeling of changing the fate of countless people with one stroke when reviewing the memorials.
For him, this would be an incomparable pleasure.
It was because of this that he became addicted to reviewing memorials, and would rather use the imperial seal to restore his spirit and physical strength than stop reviewing memorials.
The people of the world, the country, and the people of the country are just "playthings" in Yang Yun's eyes.
Snap!
Yang Yun finished reviewing another memorial, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
But at this moment, Yang Yun suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes, and he intuitively felt that a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
At the same time, the imperial seal placed on the corner of the table disappeared, leaving only pieces of paper figures falling on the ground.
"..." Yang Yun rubbed his eyes, and an expression of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face, and he roared: "Come here! There are assassins!!"
Before he finished speaking, two middle-aged eunuchs with white faces and no beards rushed out from behind Yang Yun's dragon chair.
The bodies of these two people were glowing with a faint glow, and they were extremely fast, rushing out of Hongyang Palace.
They were all first-class masters in the Gangqi realm.
But as soon as they appeared, the six paper figures scattered on the ground suddenly stood up and expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye they became adult size.
These paper men have 50% of the strength of the paper man Zhou Heng, which is less than 30% of the strength of the original body.
However, how powerful is Zhou Heng's original body?
Even if it is less than 30%, it can easily crush those who are only equivalent to the eighth level to the Gangqi realm.
Not to mention that there are six paper men here now!
The two purple-robed eunuchs had never seen such a weird scene before, and they were stunned on the spot, but they came back to their senses in an instant and intended to attack these paper men.
Unfortunately, the strength of one paper man is far superior to them, and now there are six.
Before the two eunuch masters made a move, the attacks of the two paper men reached them.
They were knocked to the ground unconscious on the spot.
The other four paper men also surrounded Emperor Yang Yun to stop him from moving.
"What do you want to do?!" Yang Yunyun trembled all over, staring at the four paper men fiercely.
He was not afraid of such a weird scene.
The paper man could not speak, so Yang Yun naturally could not get a response, and his anger was even more turbulent.
But he didn't dare to act rashly.
He saw clearly how these paper figures easily knocked out the two eunuchs just now.
The two eunuchs were both at the peak of the Gangqi realm, the strongest under the Grandmaster, but they were vulnerable in front of these strange paper figures.
Yang Yun had just entered the Gangqi realm, and he was not good at fighting because he was not good at practicing martial arts. He knew very well that he would never be a match for these paper figures.
If he acted rashly, it would basically be like seeking death.
However, he still had a trump card, but he had not yet decided whether to use it.
After all, the real powerful guards in this imperial city are actually outside this Hongyang Palace.
The thief who dared to steal the imperial seal was so bold that he might not be able to escape from this imperial city even if he could escape from Hongyang Palace with such an incredible means just now!
…
At this moment, Zhou Heng was flying over the roofs of the palaces in Hongyang Imperial City with extremely fast body movements, and the imperial seal was in his hand.
Before that, he first sneaked into the roof of Hongyang Palace quietly, and then performed the wood escape technique of the five elements escape technique, using the paper man as a spiritual guide, and flashed directly through the roof. He performed it three times in a row, flashed to the table of Hongyang Emperor Yang Yun, took away the imperial seal, and then he performed the wood escape technique three more times and left Hongyang Palace.
And performing the wood escape technique will not affect the paper man himself, so these paper men can still be used to perform paper cutting into soldiers.
After Zhou Heng left with the imperial seal, he used the method of paper cutting to turn the six paper figures in Hongyang Hall into "Tao soldiers".
In this way, he could disrupt the attention of the palace guards, allowing him to escape smoothly and leave this cave world.
——After getting the imperial seal, Zhou Heng was sure that this was the treasure with the strongest luck in this cave world.
Next, he knew that leaving this cave with this imperial seal would be a mission accomplished, and he could obtain this heavenly cave with the help of Yan Shouyi.
However, since this was the cave rule that Yan Shouyi forcibly changed with the Taoist magic weapon, Zhou Heng's departure was limited. He had to reach the Feng Shui array eye of the palace, which was the center of the Taiji Lake in the southeast of the palace.
Only there could Yan Shouyi mobilize the power of the Taoist magic weapon to lead him out of this cave world.
And at the moment when the cave changed its owner, everything in this world would completely stop, and time would stop and no longer move forward.
This is why Zhou Heng was not worried about Jiang Yuying's safety, nor did he care about the serious consequences of losing the imperial seal.
Because, as long as he left this world, everything would stop.
But on his way to Taiji Lake, Zhou Heng suddenly felt a dramatic change in the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth, as if an invisible giant hand had stirred the wind and clouds.
In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky were lifted, and the bright moonlight cut through the night, shining accurately on Zhou Heng.
The guards in the palace seemed to have received some guidance, and all ran towards Zhou Heng.
At the same time, a figure rushed over from the direction of Taiji Lake, carrying a momentum that changed the color of the world, and shouted sternly:
"Die, thief!!"
There is still one chapter before two o'clock in the morning
