The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 394: 341: Let’s see who rules the world in today’s realm!

After all, the power of the Empress Dowager was such that even Pei Xuanjing could only delay for a while, otherwise defeat was certain.

Therefore, since Pei Xuanjing had taken the initiative to speak up, he did not decline, deciding to first deal with the opponent and then join forces with Pei Xuanjing against the Empress Dowager.

As far as Ye Daoyuan was concerned, even though he had been defeated by the Empress Dowager, dealing with the other Half-Step Heavenly Being was nothing, this was his self-confidence.

“Good!” Pei Xuanjing nodded.

Next, Pei Xuanjing stayed put to adjust his condition, while Ye Daoyuan sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the masters from the Brahman Gate and the Demonic Cult, and he also needed to go into the palace to discuss some other plans with the Emperor.

Pei Xuanjing held the Longevity Sword in his hand, his eyes filled with fighting spirit: “A Heavenly Ascender, I’m really looking forward to this!”

Three days later, Pei Xuanjing entered the Palace City and met with Ye Daoyuan and another Half-Step Heavenly Being from the Taoist School. This Taoist was the current Master of the Zong Sheng Temple, known as Yin Daoist.

After exchanging greetings, Ye Daoyuan said: “Through investigation, it appears that the Empress Dowager is in retreat and the two Heavenly Ascenders from the Brahman Gate and the Demonic Cult are guarding around her. If Taoist Pei hadn’t suggested to investigate, we might have missed this opportunity.”

The situation was lucky indeed. If Pei Xuanjing hadn’t raised this plan, Ye Daoyuan would not have intentionally investigated the movements of the two individuals, and would not have found out that the current Empress Dowager was in retreat.

This was an unprecedented opportunity for them. If they could act when the Empress Dowager was unable to act because she was in the middle of retreat – whether the three of them combined their power to first kill the two Half-Step Heavenly Beings who were protecting the Empress Dowager, or two of them engaged the two Half-Step Heavenly Beings while one took the opportunity to disrupt the Empress Dowager’s retreat – it would be a great decision.

“Such a divine opportunity. If we don’t take advantage, we may never get another chance.” Yin Daoist sighed.

The Zong Sheng Temple’s entanglement with the royal family was too deep. Regardless of the Empress Dowager’s strength, he had to wade into these muddy waters. He was even prepared to risk his life for it.

However, receiving this message now made him very happy. After all, if he could survive, nobody would willingly choose to die aimlessly.

Pei Xuanjing also nodded: “Then, let’s act immediately.”

He looked at Ye Daoyuan and asked: “The emperor should be prepared, right? At least the guards protecting the Palace City won’t give us any trouble!”

The Imperial City was strictly guarded. The Sixteen Guards defending the Imperial City were no small thing. These soldiers were the elite Imperial Guards of the Empire. If they truly arranged a military formation, it would cause immense trouble for them.

But considering that the Emperor had only recently ascended to the throne and did not have complete control over the Sixteen Guards, Pei Xuanjing considered that they did not need the Emperor to command the soldiers of the Sixteen Guards to act with them, they simply needed to hold their ground without causing any trouble.

Ye Daoyuan nodded: “The troops on duty are from the Jinwu Guards on the left and right. The Emperor has already sent people to infiltrate them, ensuring that they will not pose any trouble to us.”

As for Pei Xuanjing’s concerns, Ye Daoyuan had considered it early on and had already taken corresponding measures when discussing it with the Emperor.

Although the Emperor was initially unwilling to accept their plan when they first started discussing it, since it would bear great pressure and criticism, Ye Daoyuan didn’t need to persuade him much. After he proposed the idea, naturally, the Emperor’s staff officers and strategists persuaded the Emperor, explaining the critical issues.

After all, the victory or defeat of the Emperor affected the lives of all those staff officers and strategists. In the current situation, having Pei Xuanjing and Ye Daoyuan willing to take action was already a blessing.

After all, if there were internal disagreements, their chances of winning would be greatly reduced. Failure might mean nothing to Pei Min and his associates, but it would mean certain death for them.

Threatened with life and death, these people couldn’t care less about criticism. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time such a thing has happened in the Empire, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

With a determined mindset and realizing that there was no other way out, the Emperor now put all his forces into ensuring that he would be in absolute control of the situation when the Jinwu Guards were on duty, buying them enough time.

“Good!” Pei Xuanjing nodded, then looked up at the burning sun in the sky and said: “In that case, let’s act tonight!”

The night of the full moon, was indeed an auspicious time.

Ye Daoyuan naturally did not disagree with this, he agreed.

Yin Daoist had already prepared to act at any time before he came, so he wouldn’t refuse either.

The three of them each chose a quiet room to sit in, waiting for the time when the moon was at its zenith.

To the three of them, this plan might be a bit rough, but it didn’t matter. After all, any plan requires people to execute it, and sometimes thinking too much might lead to more loopholes.

Since they had already learned that this was the weakest time for the enemy, the best method was to seize this opportunity to attack.

The golden sun set in the west, and the jade rabbit rose in the east.

The pure moonlight sprinkled upon the world from the sky, enveloping the entire Capital in a thin layer of silver.

The Emperor had a calm expression, but one could tell from his eyes that he was not as indifferent as he appeared.

“Everything is up to the three of you!” He bowed to Pei Xuanjing and the other two.

The three of them did not dodge, they rightfully accepted his bow.

Yin Daoist said: “The Zong Sheng Temple has been supported by the Great Tang for hundreds of years. Today, even if I have to die, I will protect the inheritance of Great Tang.”

Ye Daoyuan also spoke seriously: “The Brahman Gate and the Demonic Cult harbor wicked intentions. Today, I will sweep away all the evil in the world and restore peace.”

Seeing the two speak, Pei Xuanjing also felt compelled to say something. After a moment of contemplation, he said: “Let’s see who will rule the world today!”

The moment their words fell, they turned and left.

Watching the retreating figures of the three, the Emperor made another bow with stirring emotions.

When he stood up again, his eyes full of determination, he ordered in a cold voice: “Follow me!”

The three of them had their own affairs to handle, and he had his own matters to attend to as well.

He was fed up with the traitors in the court, and today he would wipe them all out!

The moonlight was pure and beautiful, but regrettably, in this serene moonlit night, there was apt to be a massacre, a massacre that would shock the world.

Because, no matter who wins or loses in this battle, this slaughter cannot be stopped.

This is the verdict of the victors on the losers, and also the last struggle and resistance of those unwilling to accept defeat.
