Chapter 253: Close the door and beat the dog?
After telling all her secrets that night, Su Qingning felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally, and her relationship with Mo Lintian also became better.
The following days seemed to have returned to their former dullness. Everyone was preparing for the New Year. Su Qingning also temporarily put aside her boring affairs and immersed herself in the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of the New Year.
On New Year's Eve, every family was having their New Year's Eve dinner, and Mo Lintian, like in previous years, went to the palace to have dinner with Emperor Mo Linyuan.
Everything seemed normal, but in a dark and deserted corner, a group of men in black wearing night clothes sneaked into the palace silently and leaped in a certain direction with a clear purpose.
This group of men in black were none other than Wan Junchen and the others from the Tiandao Sect. They thought their whereabouts were very secretive, but they didn't know that a pair of dark red eyes were staring at them in the darkness.
At the banquet, Mo Lintian paused with his hand holding the wine glass, and the low voice of Yazi came from his sea of consciousness.
[Master, people from the Tiandao Sect have infiltrated the Imperial Palace and are heading southwest, almost to the Rare Animal Garden.]
A hint of coldness flashed across Mo Lintian's lowered eyes. Ha! He really came.
After instructing Ya Zi to keep a close eye on the person, Mo Lintian raised his head and looked at Mo Linyuan, saying something meaningful with a smile on his face.
"Royal brother, it seems that there is a dish missing from tonight's New Year's Eve dinner!"
"Hmm?" Mo Linyuan glanced down at the delicious food on the table in front of him. He couldn't see what was missing, so he asked in confusion, "What's missing?"
Mo Lintian smiled and said, "Of course it's stir-fried dog meat."
ah? ? ? ? ? ?
After hearing what Mo Lintian said, everyone present had a question mark on their forehead. What kind of weird idea is it to eat dog meat at the New Year's Eve dinner?
However, Mo Lintian didn't care what others thought. He looked at Mo Linyuan and said meaningfully, "Royal brother, don't you think this is a good time to shut the door and beat the dog?"
Mo Linyuan was originally wondering what was wrong with his brother, but when he heard the words "close the door and beat the dog", he immediately realized that Mo Lintian was telling him that people from the Tiandao Sect had arrived.
Without time to think, Mo Linyuan coughed twice and pretended to be doting and said, "Ahem, Lintian, since you want to eat dog meat, then go to the rare animal garden and pick a canine spirit beast and ask the royal chef to cook it for you."
"Thank you, my Royal Brother. I'll go now."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Lintian stood up and left in a hurry, looking impatient, as if he really wanted to eat dog meat.
Things were developing in a strange way, and most people were confused. They just subconsciously sighed in their hearts that the emperor really favored His Royal Highness.
However, Crown Prince Mo Jingyu and Second Prince Mo Jingxuan, who had already begun to get involved in political affairs, vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
The expressions on their faces were different, and their thoughts were completely opposite. Mo Jingyu was reflecting on himself. He felt that he was not good enough, so his father had hidden it from him. However, Mo Jingxuan was resentful and unwilling. He never looked for reasons in himself, but only blamed Mo Linyuan for being partial to Mo Lintian.
Mo Lintian was no longer able to worry about what was happening in the hall. He quickly leaped towards the rare animal garden, wanting to rush over and kill everyone from the Tiandao Sect.
At the same time, Wan Junchen and others had sneaked into the remote palace behind the rare animal garden.
The night breeze blew gently, and strands of white hair fluttered in the wind. The three supreme elders suddenly opened their eyes, like tigers awakening, with sharp light flashing in their eyes.
"Everyone, now that you are here, why hide?"
The Grand Elder spoke slowly, his voice like a morning bell, full of powerful aura that made the people hiding in the dark feel their blood boiling.
Since they had been discovered, there was naturally no need to hide. Wan Junchen silently adjusted the disordered breath, and then jumped out from the darkness with his men.
"Hahaha... the three of you are worthy of being the guardian gods of the Dragon Empire. Your strength is indeed unfathomable."
Wan Junchen laughed and praised, seemingly not worried at all that his voice would get out and attract the attention of the guards outside.
Seeing how unscrupulous the other party was, the three supreme elders guessed that they must have used a soundproof enclosure to isolate this side hall from the outside world.
The Third Grand Elder's sharp gaze swept across the group of black-clad men opposite him, finally landing on Wan Junchen. He asked in a deep voice, "Why have you all come here uninvited?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just..." Wan Junchen paused, then continued casually, "I'd like to ask the three of you to do us a favor and let us enter the Royal Secret Realm."
Wan Junchen's tone was full of matter-of-factness, as if the Royal Secret Realm was his back garden and he could enter whenever he wanted.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the three Grand Elders darkened. The Second Grand Elder angrily scolded, "How dare you! You can't just enter the Royal Secret Realm whenever you want!"
"Heh!" Wan Junchen laughed with an ambiguous meaning. He suppressed his temper and tried to persuade them, "It's just a small secret realm. Why are you three so stingy? After all, I sincerely want to discuss this with you."
However, no matter what Wan Junchen said, the three Grand Elders were unwilling to be feigned with him. The second Grand Elder, who had the most volatile temper, cursed directly, "Get out! If you are not allowed in, then you are not allowed in. Take your people and get out of here immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
As the young master of the Tiandao Sect, Wan Junchen had never been treated so harshly before. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice became a little colder. "Old man, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Today, I will definitely enter this Royal Secret Realm."
"Oh?" The Grand Elder, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again. His calm and sharp eyes fell lightly on Wan Junchen, and his tone was also light and without any fluctuation. "Since you are so confident, why not give it a try and see if you can enter this royal secret realm."
Wan Junchen was young and energetic, and his mind was unstable. The Grand Elder only said a few words, but he was already provoked.
"Hmph! Since you won't accept my toast, don't blame me for being ruthless." Wan Junchen snorted coldly, raised his hand and gestured to attack, and said in a cold voice: "Go! Kill them!"
This time, the Tiandao Sect had made all possible preparations to enter the royal secret realm and steal the dragon veins. For example, the people Wan Junchen brought with him were all masters of the high-star god realm.
However, the three supreme elders of the Longteng Empire are not pushovers. They are all ninth-level gods, and their strength is comparable to that of Qin Yanqing, the dean of the Imperial Academy. They are not comparable to those of the Tiandao Sect who reached the realm of gods by stealing the cultivation of others.
