Chapter 772: The Day of Change

After listening to Li Yang's plan, Bai Feng couldn't help but take a breath: "Master, this... this is too risky, isn't it?"

"The imperial city is a strategic location, heavily guarded, how can we..."

Li Yang smiled slightly and interrupted: "Master Bai, don't worry, I have my own way."

"Besides, if we can't catch the black-robed Taoist in one fell swoop, you and I will both die."

"Instead of waiting to die, it's better to give it a try."

Bai Feng was silent for a moment, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay! Let's do as the Taoist said."

"But... how should we spread the news?"

Li A sly look flashed in Yang's eyes: "This is easy. We can deliberately [leak] the news."

"For example... let Miss Bai pretend to be arrested, and "accidentally" reveal the whereabouts of the Nine Dragon Jade during the interrogation."

Bai Ling heard this and her face was stern: "I am willing to cooperate!"

Bai Feng was embarrassed: "This is too dangerous! If..."

"Father!" Bai Ling interrupted, "Now is not the time to consider personal safety."

"In order to clear the Bai family's grievances, I am willing to take this risk!"

Looking at his daughter's determined eyes, Bai Feng sighed and nodded helplessly.

In this way, the three discussed until late at night and finally finalized the detailed plan.

The next morning, Bai Ling took the initiative to "arrest" and was escorted to the Dali Temple.

During the interrogation, she followed the plan and "accidentally" revealed the news that the Nine Dragon Jade was hidden somewhere in the imperial city under "torture".

As expected, this news soon reached the ears of the black-robed Taoist.

At the same time, Li Yang and Bai Feng also started their actions.

With the help of the power of [Origin], Li Yang successfully sneaked into the imperial city and set a trap in a remote corner.

He disguised an ordinary jade stone as the Nine Dragon Jade and placed it in the center of the trap.

The surroundings were full of various mechanisms and restrictions, waiting for the black-robed Taoist to fall into the trap.

Just when everything was ready, Li Yang suddenly felt a familiar breath approaching.

"Here it comes!" He was startled and quickly hid in the darkness nearby.

Sure enough, not long after, a black shadow appeared silently near the trap.

It was the mysterious black-robed Taoist.

He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that no one was around, he carefully approached the "Nine Dragon Jade".

Just when he was about to touch the jade, Li Yang suddenly jumped out.

"I've been tricked!"

Li Yang shouted and activated the restrictions around him at the same time.

In an instant, countless rays of light rose from the ground, forming a huge light shield that trapped the black-robed Taoist.

The Taoist in black robe obviously didn't expect this, and was at a loss for a moment.

"Damn it!" he roared, "How dare you fool me!"

As he said this, he was about to cast a spell to break the ban.

However, at this moment, Li Yang made another move.

He saw him pinching his hands and chanting a spell.

In an instant, a powerful force burst out from his body.

That was the power of the Nine Dragon Jade!

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire imperial city was shaken.

Countless green lights intertwined in the air, and finally condensed into a huge green dragon phantom.

The green dragon roared and rushed towards the Taoist in black robe, bringing a gust of wind.

The Taoist in black robe responded hastily and sacrificed the black shield.

"Bang!"

The green dragon hit the shield heavily, making a deafening noise.

The Taoist in black robe was shocked by this force and retreated again and again, and the cracks on his mask became bigger and bigger.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from a distance.

It was obvious that the imperial guards were alarmed by the movement here and were rushing over.

The black-robed Taoist was very anxious when he saw this.

He knew that if he was discovered here, all his plans would fail.

"Boy, wait for me!"

The black-robed Taoist glared at Li Yang fiercely, then took out a talisman and slapped it on the ground.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling white light flashed, and when Li Yang opened his eyes again, the black-robed Taoist had disappeared.

However, he did not escape completely.

During the escape, the hideous mask finally broke because of the previous cracks.

A small piece of debris fell to the ground.

Li Yang quickly picked it up and looked at it carefully.

At this moment, the imperial guards finally arrived.

"Who trespassed into the imperial city?!"

The leading general shouted sternly.

Li Yang's heart trembled, knowing that now was not the time to explain.

He quickly collected the fragments of the mask and sneaked out of the imperial city in the chaos.

After returning to his hiding place, Li Yang told Bai Feng what happened.

"Although the black-robed Taoist escaped, we at least got some clues."

Li Yang said, taking out the fragment of the mask.

Bai Feng looked at it carefully and suddenly his face changed.

"This... this is not..."

He pointed to a small mark on the fragment with trembling hands.

It was an extremely hidden family emblem.

"This is the emblem of the court!" Bai Feng exclaimed, "Could it be that... the black-robed Taoist is..."

Li Yang was also shocked when he heard this.

If the black-robed Taoist is really a member of the royal family, then this matter becomes more complicated.

Just as the two were in doubt, Bai Ling hurried over.

"Father! Taoist Li! Something bad has happened!"

She gasped and said, "I heard the guards talking just now, saying that the Holy Emperor died suddenly!"

"What?!"

Bai Feng and Li Yang exclaimed at the same time.

The death of the emperor is undoubtedly a huge change.

Moreover, combined with the previous discoveries, Li Yang vaguely felt that there must be something fishy in this.

"We have to find out the truth quickly." Li Yang said solemnly, "Otherwise, not only the Bai family, but also the entire Daxing Kingdom will fall into a huge crisis."

Bai Feng nodded, with a solemn expression: "But... where should we start investigating?"

Li Yang thought for a moment and said: "Since the black-robed Taoist is from the royal family, there must be traces of him in the palace."

"We have to find a way to sneak into the palace and find out what's going on."

When Bai Feng heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath: "This...is this too risky?"

"The royal palace is heavily guarded, how can we..."

Li Yang smiled slightly and interrupted: "Master Bai, don't worry, I have my own solution."

"Besides, if the truth cannot be revealed, not only the Bai family will not be able to escape bad luck, but the entire Daxing country will probably fall into turmoil."

"Rather than sit back and wait for death, it's better to give it a try."

Bai Feng was silent for a moment, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay! Just follow what the Taoist Master said."

Immediately, the three began to plot a plan to sneak into the palace.

At the same time, there was chaos in the imperial city.

The news of the emperor's sudden death was like a bombshell, causing huge shock in the entire government and the public.

The ministers went into the palace to discuss matters and discuss countermeasures.

However, just as everyone was anxious, an even more shocking news came.

The prince also disappeared mysteriously...

For a time, almost the entire country fell into unprecedented chaos.

People in both the government and the public are in panic.

And in this chaos, a mysterious figure is watching everything secretly.

He stood at the highest point of the palace, overlooking the entire capital.

There was a cold smile on his face.

"Good...everything went according to plan."

"Soon, the world will change..."
