Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 557 - Emperor

The rain poured down incessantly. Li Huowang twitched uncontrollably as he kneeled on the ground and panted.

His wounds had reopened, and he was covered in more wounds. Li Sui had to further expand within him.

Princess Anping's murderer was indeed powerful. Where did Ji Lin find someone as strong as Dan Yangzi?

The tattered Daoist’s lightning attacks were lethal. Thankfully, Li Huowang had gotten even stronger as well.

Peng Longteng grabbed a bloody boulder and lifted it high in the sky before slamming it down on the dying Daoist.

The Daoist was crushed, and his limbs scattered in all directions.

However, Peng Longteng was still hungry for more. She grabbed the same boulder and smashed it down again and again on the corpse.

She did it a few times until a large crater appeared in front of her. There was no longer a body as the flesh and bones had scattered everywhere from the repeated impact.

“Enough... ENOUGH!” Li Huowang had just shouted when the boulder phased through her body and crashed onto the ground. She was a hallucination once more.

Li Huowang stood up while breathing in ragged pants He opened his mouth and spat Li Sui out. “Suisui, please be nice and help me.”

Li Huowang approached the mound of dead bodies and took Princess Anping’s head. “The Black Taisui excels at parasitizing its victims. Can you control this head?”

“Let me try.” Li Sui extended her tentacles and entered the head.

Soon Princess Anping’s head stood up with tentacles beneath her neck. She could blink too.

“Is it like this?” The beautiful face of Princess Anping was being held up by numerous tentacles as she smiled at Li Huowang.

Li Huowang was actually thinking of using his own skin to make a doll with his techniques as a Sitting Oblivion Dao member. Thankfully, the Black Taisui was really great at her job

Staring at her smile, Li Huowang nodded with approval. “Good. Just show yourself in front of others, and they will think that Princess Anping is still alive. She has already perished, but let's help her anyway. Li Sui, I know you're tired, but we only need to wait just a bit longer until the Chief is back.”

Li Huowang brought Li Sui into the palace and soon found Princess Anping’s corpse. Li Huowang dug out her organs, and Li Sui entered the hollowed-out body to become Princess Anping.

Li Sui washed the blood off her body and wore a dress with golden stitches. The wide dress allowed her to hide her tentacles beneath it.

Her innerwear was pink, and she was sporting a pale blue earring as well. Her intricate hairstyle was held together by an elaborate hairpin. Li Sui truly looked like Princess Anping when she was still alive; the only thing amiss was the white ribbon around her neck, which was concealing the wound that had decapitated her head.

“Alright, let’s go! We can just run around the city, and the informants will know that Princess Anping is still alive!” Li Huowang dragged Li Sui into the rain.

It was a chaotic night, but when the rain washed over Shangjing and they woke up again the next morning, everything returned back to normal. The stench of blood had been washed away, and the civilians were out and about doing their own business.

Gao Zhijian entered Shangjing in his carriage and stared at the dense rows of shops on both sides of the street.

He thought that he'd recognize the place if he were the emperor, but he recognized nothing for some reason.

Did I not venture out of the palace last time?

He continued to drive the carriage on the main road. After some time, he saw the familiar red walls of the palace. His memories stirred.

He remembered seeing the same color every time he was carried by someone when he was younger.

He hopped off the carriage and calmed himself down as he slowly walked towards the palace.

The guards naturally noticed a huge man like Gao Zhijian and frowned. Cold glances came from above the palace walls.

Gao Zhijian stopped just a few meters away from the palace door. He stared at the guards stationed there.

A few moments passed and nothing happened. Strange. Do they not recognize me? I used to be an emperor. Even if it was in the past, they should still recognize me.

Gao Zhijian took two steps forward and pointed at his face as he attempted to speak.

“This is the land of the emperor! Who dares to trespass!” A sharp spear pointed at Gao Zhijian, causing him to panic.

As someone who learned how to utilize the murderous aura, he also felt the murderous aura high above the palace wall. The person up there was beyond his level. This was a warning. One more step and Gao Zhijian would die.

He immediately retreated back to his carriage and looked at the tall palace walls. He didn’t know what to do. I should be the emperor, right?

While he was thinking about that, someone brushed past him and entered through the side door of the palace.

Compared to the treatment Gao Zhijian received, the guards didn’t even look at the man as he entered the palace.

Back in the palace, the man ran as fast as he could, giving the illusion that he was stepping on air. He ran into Ji Lin’s bed chamber.

He reached the outside and slowed down on purpose.

Even though he slowed down, he was still hit by an inkstone.

But the man dared not move because the one who hit him was Ji Lin himself.

The man prostrated on the ground as his voice trembled with fear. “My Lord! Princess Anping is still missing.”

“Drag him out and execute him!” Ji Lin shouted with rage as he easily signed off on someone’s death.

“My Lord! My Lord! Spare me!”

The consorts and eunuchs in the bed chamber were silent. They were afraid that they would be next.

However, one of the old eunuchs displayed not a hint of fear. He held a golden horse-tail whisk as he approached the angry Ji Lin. “My Lord, don’t worry. I’ve made a divination and have ascertained that Princess Anping is dead. Even the others got the same results.”

The beads on Ji Lin’s crown shook violently as he exclaimed, “I don’t care about the divinations! I want to see her true body! What if she used an illusion technique? I want to see her corpse! I want to see her head! That is what I want, you useless bastards!”
