Chapter 517 - 514: Gathering Storm (Part Six)

Seeing the generals' performance, Liu Yifei felt even more pissed off. He secretly made a decision, once they rescued His Majesty, he would suggest to Him to replace these cowardly generals with a group capable and fearless leaders.

"Hu Ba, Wu Jun, Zhang Gang..."

Liu Yifei called out over a dozen names in one breath, "Alright, you guys go."

The faces of those called went pale, sweat pouring down their temples. Those not called sighed in relief, what they had just experienced was akin to a stroll through hell's gates, too damn thrilling!

"Let's end the discussions for today, you can all leave now," Liu Yifei waved them off, "Those I've called out, hurry up and prepare. We've got to infiltrate Piaomiao Palace within three days." Pausing, he continued, "After we rescue His Majesty, immediately send a signal, and I will lead the army to support you."

Dozens of generals got up to leave in silence.

"A bunch of useless things." After the generals had left, Liu Yifei started cursing unabashedly, his language as offensive as offensive gets, "Once His Majesty is rescued, then I'll deal with you all."

...

The mission was undertaken by eighteen generals, all of them experts with Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivation. After careful planning, they successfully infiltrated Piaomiao Palace and began searching for His Majesty.

To save time, the eighteen generals split up, two to a team, searching in different directions.

It started smoothly, but as they went on, they encountered increasing difficulty. Patrolling disciples were everywhere, and they were nearly discovered several times.

The strongest two generals were Yu Hainiao and Zhao Youmei, both at the Eighth Layer of the Tribulation Crossing Stage. They were currently sneakily hiding behind a large boulder, observing the situation ahead.

"There are a lot of patrolling disciples on the other side, it's going to be hard to get past them without making a sound," Yu Hainiao whispered.

"We'll have to find a way to lure them away," Zhao Youmei suggested.

"How can we lure them away?"

"Use your brain!"

"You think of something, I've got nothing."

"You blockhead."

"Get down, someone's coming!"

They crouched down, bowed their heads, shrunk their necks, and held their breaths.

A few people approached from the left, dressed as Piaomiao Palace disciples, walking in a line while chatting.

"I've got an idea," Zhao Youmei's eyes lit up.

"What is it?" Yu Hainiao asked hastily, "Don't leave me hanging, tell me."

"You'll see soon enough." Zhao Youmei flicked his fingers, sending out several bursts of Qi, "Pfft, pfft, pfft..." The disciples coming from the left all fell down in response. Zhao Youmei moved quickly to drag them back, executed at a blind spot from the rest of the patrol, unseen by other disciples.

"What are you doing?" Yu Hainiao panicked.

"Stop talking and start changing," Zhao Youmei commanded, stripping the clothes off the fallen disciples and tossing them over.

"For what?"

"Are you actually stupid or just pretending? We're going to impersonate them!"

"Impersonate?"

"If we dress as Piaomiao Palace disciples, we can walk around the palace freely without worry of being checked."

"Eh, why didn't I think of that?"

"Because you're slow. Enough chatter, just change."

They quickly dressed in the Piaomiao Palace disciples' clothes, purposely messed up their hair to cover their faces, and used a secret technique to suppress their cultivation...

"Clang!"

"What's that!"

"Pfft!"

"Damn! What are you doing! How did you trigger the signal flare?"

A dazzling white light shot up into the sky, visible from hundreds of miles around.

"It was an accident! An accident!" Yu Hainiao was close to tears: "I was just changing my clothes when I accidentally dropped the signal flare, and who knew the quality of the signal flare was so poor, it cracked open the moment it hit the ground..."

"You... you're infuriating!" Zhao Youmei pointed at Yu Hainiao's nose and scolded: "Because of your carelessness, this rescue mission has failed! Once we get back, Liu Yifei is going to kill you."

"I really didn't do it on purpose." Yu Hainiao was extremely frustrated. He had made such a low-level mistake, it was unforgivable.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The disciples of Piaomiao Palace were alerted and began to search for the enemy's whereabouts with weapons in hand.

"We're doomed! Now we're completely doomed!" Zhao Youmei stomped her feet in anger: "Forget about rescuing His Majesty the Emperor! Whether we can even escape safely is a question! What's more, there's an even more serious issue..."

"What issue?"

"When Liu Yifei sees the signal that was sent out, he will definitely think we've already rescued His Majesty the Emperor, and then he'll lead the army to assault Piaomiao Palace... By that time... things will really blow up..."

"You can't be serious."

"Listen..."

"What?"

"The sounds of killing... My prediction came true, Liu Yifei indeed has led the army to begin the assault on Piaomiao Palace."

"What are we going to do now?"

"At this point... we can only take it one step at a time. If we can take advantage of the chaos to rescue His Majesty the Emperor, then we might make up for our mistake and not be punished too severely, otherwise... if we fail to rescue His Majesty the Emperor, our fate will be truly miserable..."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and rescue His Majesty the Emperor."

Yu Hainiao and Zhao Youmei hurriedly ran out.

...

"Kill!"

"Kill them with all you've got!"

"His Majesty the Emperor has been rescued! Everyone, don't hold back anymore, bring out all your strength and fight, today we must take down Piaomiao Palace!!!"

Liu Yifei held a blood-red machete, leading the charge at the forefront, chopping down any disciple of Piaomiao Palace he saw. In just a short moment, hundreds had died under his blade, and with the commander's bravery, the soldiers' morale was boosted, emboldening them to fight valiantly.

Millions of soldiers spread out in four directions, launching a fierce attack on Piaomiao Palace.

...

"Swoosh!"

A figure flew swiftly from a distance. Upon a closer look, it turned out to be Shangguan Yunyue, the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace.

"What's going on!" Shangguan Yunyue was both angry and anxious: "How dare they launch an attack! Don't they fear I'll kill the Emperor!" The sudden attack by the official army had caught her off guard.

"Reporting to the Palace Master." A disciple rushed over, speaking in a panic: "Just now, someone shouted that the Emperor has been rescued..."

"Nonsense!" Shangguan Yunyue's face darkened: "The Emperor is still trapped in the Central Grand Hall!"

"He hasn't been rescued... that's good..." The disciple sighed with relief.

"Everyone listen up!" Shangguan Yunyue summoned her strength and shouted loudly: "Do not believe what others say, the Emperor is still in Piaomiao Palace and has not been rescued." After she spoke, the disciples of Piaomiao Palace breathed a sigh of relief, but the faces of the official soldiers changed.

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Liu Yifei shouted loudly: "I've sent more than a dozen experts to infiltrate Piaomiao Palace and rescue His Majesty the Emperor. They would send a signal once they succeeded, and just now someone sent a signal... this means that they have already rescued His Majesty the Emperor!"
