Chapter 1038 -1034: Acting on the plan, breaking through the city gate_1
Little Kingfisher was furious: “Not only that, but he also hurt the birds. All birds that saw him practicing dark arts were killed by him.”
“The Beiqi Monarch?”
Lin Qingluo could hardly believe it: “He actually committed atrocities and hurt his own people.”
Little Kingfisher angrily denounced: “A hypocritical pretender.”
“I thought he was quite a person, highly respected by the people, but it seems we overestimated him.”
Lin Qingluo was extremely disgusted: “In that case, there’s no need for us to be polite. We’ll break into the Imperial Palace and kill him with one sword. Such scum is not worthy of living in this world.”
“Master.”
Little Kingfisher was sad for a moment: “I’m afraid those children are in great danger.”
“Blood sacrifice.”
Lin Qingluo’s heart sank: “Refining the flesh and blood of infants to practice dark arts can greatly increase one’s power in a short time.”
Little Kingfisher gritted her teeth: “He wants to enhance his strength for dealing with us.”
“He deserves to die!”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes were cold and frosty: “I will do everything I can to kill him.”
Little Kingfisher was indignant: “Yin’er will go to the Imperial Palace right now to keep an eye on the Beiqi Monarch and see what other tricks he’s up to.”
“Be careful.”
Lin Qingluo advised softly: “If you encounter the state preceptor, don’t give yourself away. I’ll come over, and we’ll deal with him together.”
“Alright.”
Little Kingfisher was unusually cautious, without boasting.
The Beiqi Monarch and the state preceptor were two peas in a pod.
This lady is determined to eliminate these two scumbags tonight, in the name of justice, for the dead infants.
Lin Qingluo clearly sensed that Little Kingfisher had cut off the mental communication and looked towards Jiankang City Tower, her gaze blazing with unwavering determination.

At midnight, the fifty-thousand-strong army was fully equipped and ready, waiting for the signal to attack the city.
Dozens of masked men in black, the Shadow Guards of the Yan Royal Mansion, lurked in the city, and approached the city gate under the cover of darkness.
“Hmph, a bunch of idiots, daring to make trouble under the state preceptor’s nose.”
Suddenly, a mocking laughter sounded from the shadows under the city tower. In the silent and deserted night, it was particularly startling.
“Damn, it’s an ambush!”
The leader realized something was wrong and quickly retreated.
However, it was too late. In the dark night, a ghostly figure appeared, holding a sharp weapon, mercilessly harvesting lives.
One after another, the Shadow Guards fell.
They didn’t even get a clear look at the attacker before losing their lives.
“Huh.”
A surge of scorching flame appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the ghostly figure.
“Ah!”
The figure screamed in pain, rapidly retreating dozens of meters, and disappeared into thin air.
Little Kingfisher quickly relayed the news to her master: “Master, our plan to coordinate from both inside and outside has failed. The state preceptor has blocked the Shadow Guards of the Yan Royal Mansion, causing heavy casualties. There is no chance of a successful sneak attack and opening the city gate.”
“Brother Meng, Shitou, Feng Yi.”
Hearing the mental message, Lin Qingluo didn’t hesitate and gave orders: “Proceed as planned, break through the city gate.”
“Yes.”
The three apprentices were filled with excitement, took out the Teleportation Talismans, and rushed like the wind towards the city tower.
In the dark night, their speed was almost invisible.
Even the soldiers guarding the city didn’t notice anything unusual as the three arrived at the city wall.
“Brother Meng, you smash the door, and we’ll cover you.”
Shitou and Feng Yi reached the bottom of the city wall without any delay, climbed up along the wall.
The two were extremely fast, reaching the top of the city tower in the blink of an eye.
Feng Yi fired off three arrows in quick succession, shooting out the arrows before the city guards could even react.
