True Dragon Hall Attack
They left the East Palace.
Zheng Fugui could not take it anymore. He punched the air angrily and cursed, “You’d better not let me know who did it, or I’ll definitely kill him!”
“Go home as quickly as possible and call Uncle and the others to my house.”
“What’s wrong?”
Zhang Ronghua glared at him sternly and did not dare to ask again. He remembered his cousin’s instructions and circulated his movement technique to rush home.
Back at home in the Riches Workshop.
Her parents already knew the news outside.
It spread throughout the capital. They were not deaf. How could they not know?
The first to change was the neighbors. In the past, they would welcome him from as far away as possible. At this moment, they were hiding far away, afraid that people would misunderstand and think that their close relationship had been implicated.
In the lobby.
The servants were chased away. There were only the three of them.
Although Zheng Rou was a woman, she could handle things at critical moments. She was not like ordinary women who cried when they encountered trouble and did not have any opinions. She listened quietly and did her job without causing trouble for the two of them.
Zhang Qin’s expression was serious. “With your current cultivation, how confident are you of leaving?”
“100%!”
“Including us and your uncle’s family?”
“About fifty percent!”
Zhang Ronghua spoke very conservatively. He had always been on duty in the Flood Dragon Guard and had never come into contact with the upper echelons. He did not know how much foundation Great Xia was hiding, but from the last time he entered the palace’s armory, he could not see through the ancestor guarding the door.
There was also Uncle Zhong.
He had always had the impression of a kind neighbor without any cultivation. He had a feeling that even if he used his Clear Spirit Eyes, he would not be able to obtain an outcome.
However, such a person had killed all the sects, demons, and ghosts in Tongzhou alone. He had even wiped out the power of the government, which was enough to prove his strength.
The four of them arrived at this moment.
Zheng Shan said in a low voice, “I know everything. What are you going to do?”
“No one can stop Ronghua from leaving! If he brings us along, he’s only 50% confident.”
“After living for so long, I’ve enjoyed everything I need to enjoy. I’m already satisfied to be able to leave a descendant for the Zheng family. When the time comes, leave with your cousin and go to the Shang Dynasty. They’re mortal enemies. If Great Xia dares to send someone over, they won’t even know how they died. You’ll hide your identities and live there.”
Zhang Ronghua was about to speak when Zhang Qin seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say. He did not even give him a chance to refuse. “This is an order!”
Whoosh!
Letting out a shaky breath, Zhang Ronghua said, “It’s not that grim yet.”
He rose from his chair.
“It’s no longer safe here. Let’s go to the Vermilion Bird Workshop.”
Seeing that they were puzzled, he explained the pros and cons. He had saved Ji Xueyan. If the Imperial Court really attacked, the houses there were very close to the Grand Tutor’s residence. If necessary, he could ask the Grand Tutor for help.
Although Zhang Qin and the others were puzzled, there were rumors outside that he was having an affair with Ji Xueyan. Wouldn’t he be walking into a trap if he went over now? Why would the Grand Tutor help?
But he had said that. With his personality, he would not speak for no reason. He would never say it without absolute confidence. He suppressed it in his heart and did not ask.
Everything was ready. A package containing a change of clothes.
“Go!”
Zhang Ronghua walked in front while Zheng Fugui followed behind and protected them out of the residence. They had just taken a few steps when they stopped again.
Two people from the True Dragon Hall walked over from the front, their faces cold, blocking five steps away.
Unlike the team he had met last night, the two people in front of him were dressed in white and had swords. They were called the White Dragon Robe and the White Dragon Sword, which corresponded to the White Dragon Envoy.
(Official positions in the True Dragon Hall: Hall Master, Divine Envoy, Purple Dragon Envoy, Azure Dragon Envoy, White Dragon Envoy, Golden Dragon Envoy.)
“Go back!”
Zheng Fugui drew his Flood Dragon Sword and rushed forward to stand with Zhang Ronghua.
“You’re no match for them.”
From the aura emitted by the two of them, they were both at the Grandmaster realm. It was already difficult for him to fight one, let alone the two of them.
He took a step forward.
Zhang Ronghua’s eyes were cold. He was furious that he had fallen into the center of the storm for no reason. He was worried that he had nowhere to vent when they jumped out. “Move!”
He attacked directly.
Two afterimages rushed towards him, one on the left and one on the right. They worked well together, one punching and the other using a palm technique. Before their moves could take shape, a golden light flashed and Zhang Ronghua stood where they had been, while they were sent flying and fainted on the ground.
It was so fast that Zheng Fugui and the others could not see it clearly.
“We don’t have much time. We have to reach Vermilion Bird Workshop before the others from the True Dragon Hall arrive.”
He took the path and rushed that way.
There were no more accidents this time. Perhaps the higher-ups did not expect Zhang Ronghua to be so strong that he could deal with two White Dragon Envoys in a single move.
By the time they reacted, they were already at Vermilion Bird Workshop.
What happened here spread like a gust of wind in the upper echelons of the capital.
The courtyard door opened.
Shi Wen moved aside and waited for them to enter before closing the door. “What happened?”
Zhang Ronghua let his parents and the others in first. He took out a banknote worth a hundred taels and handed it over. He did not take it and said solemnly, “We’re in a lot of trouble now. If you stay here any longer, you’ll be involved. Take this money and leave the capital.”
“I heard all about it!”
Looking into his eyes, he knew that there was no point in persuading him. He put away the banknote and patted his shoulder twice before turning into the backyard.
In the room.
Zhang Ronghua was unprecedentedly anxious. He seized every minute to increase his cultivation. When they fought, it was an additional guarantee.
Just as he was about to cultivate the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Technique, he remembered that when he was in the dilapidated temple, the Golden Dragon Sword was enhanced with the Black Yellow True Essence to easily deal with the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug.
“Is it really a Godfiend cultivation technique?”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was.
He composed himself and focused on cultivation.
Thanks to the pressure from the outside world and his powerful talent, after cultivating for two hours, he finally broke through to the Beginner Realm.
“Cousin, come out quickly!”
“Are they here?”
He jumped out of bed, opened the door, and rushed out. Zhang Qin and the others were all there.
“Wait for me here. I’ll go out and take a look.”
“I’m with you.”
Zhang Ronghua nodded and led him to the front courtyard. He opened the door and saw a team of White Dragon Envoys standing outside. The leader was an Azure Dragon Envoy. His name was Xu Changming and he exuded the aura of a Great Grandmaster. The two people who had been knocked unconscious were among them.
With a sweep of his majestic soul power, the surroundings of the courtyard had already been surrounded. Other than them, there was also a group of fully armed soldiers. With a single order, they could charge in.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly serious.
Xu Changming glanced at them coldly and his gaze landed on Zhang Ronghua. “Did you do it?”
“It’s me!”
Their hearts were solemn. From the scene in front of them, the higher-ups were probably going to make an example of them. It seemed that they were really going to escape from the capital.
