The name "Spider Web" is very popular in the capital. The more high-ranking officials are, the more they understand the meaning behind these two simple words.
If you commit a crime, you can still come out safely after entering the prison of the Ministry of Punishment; but if you fall into the hands of the "Spider Web", no matter what rank you have outside, if you don't peel off several layers of skin, you may not be able to get out of this prison. .
This is already a good result, but the worst thing is that it is impossible to get out of the "cobweb" door at all!
This organization was different from the normal responsibilities of the three provinces and six ministries. It was independent of all yamen and was only responsible to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, it has great power and can supervise all officials, and some methods are not prohibited from being used.
Of course, the "Spider Web" has only two most important functions: one is intelligence, and the other is assassination.
The leader of the "Spider Web" is Zhao Zhong. This eunuch is vicious and scheming, but he possesses great strength and outstanding abilities, which makes all the princes in the court dislike him and at the same time extremely fear him!
And the "Spider Web" gradually grew and grew in his hands, specializing in handling some shady matters for the Tang Dynasty, and occasionally attacking the princes of the court. Once you get into the "spider web", you will naturally have the means to make him confess, and it is just a matter of course to confiscate your family and exterminate your family.
As for whether the parties concerned are unjustly accused, this kind of thing is a matter of opinion, and there is no guarantee whether they will be completely beaten. However, these ministers have been officials for many years, and it is unrealistic to say that all of them are cool and graceful.
Once you have a handle and fall into the hands of "Spider Web", it may be a disaster for your family.
It's just that the "Cobweb" has been suppressing and eradicating some forces that opposed the court in various parts of the Tang Dynasty in recent years. It was not supposed to be in Chang'an, but unexpectedly it would suddenly appear.
Xuan Jin looked gloomy and shouted: "Where is Zhao Zhong?"
The killers who attacked him did not answer. After all, these killers were just swords in Zhao Zhong's hands. They had no emotions and would not do anything extra than the mission.
Seeing that Zhao Zhong did not show up, Xuan Jin became more vigilant. This opponent with a notorious reputation and no bottom line was hiding in the dark, putting a lot of pressure on him!
There are many talents in the "Spider Web", and the "Eight God-killing Swords" is one of the top killers. Equipped with eight peerless swords, it is said that with the cooperation of eight people, even gods can be killed!
This is naturally an exaggeration, but it also reflects the terrifying strength of these eight people from the side. Many high-level warriors have died in their hands over the years. In front of these people, the lives of Xiantian realm warriors are nothing special!
These eight people do not have names, they only have code names, named after the swords they wear, one is "covering the sun", the second is "breaking water", the third is "turning soul", the fourth is "xuanjian", and the fifth is "jing salamander" , six are "soul-destroying", seven are "expelling evil", and eight are "truly strong".
These eight-handled famous swords were made by kings of a certain dynasty in ancient times to offer sacrifices to the gods, and then mined red gold mines to adapt to the energy of the world and all directions, and then they forged such exquisite eight-handled famous swords.
Not all of these eight people showed up, there were only four of them. Xuan Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted: "Which sword are you from?"
The other party replied expressionlessly: "Cover the sun."
Xuan Jin's pupils shrank when he heard this. He had naturally heard of the other party's name. This "Hiding the Sun" was the number one figure in the "Eight Swords of God Killing", and he was a very talkative existence in the world.
The sword in his hand is so full of yin energy that it is said that if you point it at the sun, it will become dark during the day.
Feeling the aura emanating from the opponent's body, Xuan Jin knew that this person was also a master of the Xiantian realm, and with the help of the famous sword in his hand, he must be a difficult opponent.
Although the remaining eight swordsmen may not all be as powerful as "Hiding the Sun", they certainly cannot be weak. Now that they suddenly appear, the outcome of the battle is unpredictable.
The action that was originally thought to be a sure thing, now turned out to be a series of problems, which made De Xuanjin's heart surge with anger. On the one hand, they were afraid of Emperor Tang, and on the other hand, they were dissatisfied with their own personnel.
It was said that everything had been arranged and the overall situation was under control, but when he arrived, he was ambushed. Everyone would be angry!
In other battlefields, "Duanshui", "Zhuan Po" and "Xuan Jian" have already fought with the elders of Xuantian Sect. It would be a bit arrogant to say that they can guarantee the defeat of these elders in the Xiantian realm. However, procrastinating for a while is not a problem!
Xuan Jin's heart became heavier and heavier at this time. This raid on the imperial city was originally intended to be a quick victory. As the saying goes, "delay will lead to change." The longer it is delayed, the more likely it is that an accident will occur.
Nowadays, unexpected things have happened one after another. If it continues, who knows what will happen?
Xuan Jin shouted loudly to the rear: "Everyone, form a sword formation!"
Now the seven Xiantian realm elders, including him, are temporarily unable to escape, but the elders at the rear are not affected. Those opponents in white are just the defenders in the city.
Xuan Ling, the white-clothed elder who had perfected the Houtian realm, took the order, and then quickly organized the remaining white-clothed men to form a sword formation. In an instant, a huge Taoist sword formation was formed, exuding terrifying power.
"Xuantian Sword Formation, rise!"
With a loud shout, Xuan Ling pointed the long sword in his hand towards the sky, and then the white-clothed people in the formation also pointed up according to his movements, and there was a crazy gathering of energy above the clouds.
Soon, a cloud-white energy sword condensed into shape, densely packed with thousands of swords, arranged in the sky like locusts.
The soldiers guarding the city looked solemn, and the formations in the imperial city had already been activated. However, the power of this formation is not strong. After all, under normal circumstances, no one can break through the protective formation of Chang'an City and reach here.
As long as the formation of Chang'an City exists, it will be difficult for anyone to break it. And if even the formation of Chang'an City is broken, it will be a matter of time before the imperial city is broken. There is no point in setting up a formation that is too tyrannical.
But this time the situation was different. Xuantian Sect directly cooperated with the inside and outside, bypassed the formation of Chang'an City, and sneaked directly outside the imperial city. Now that they are inside the Chang'an formation, there is no point in opening the formation.
And with the strength of the formation that protects the imperial city, it is still unclear whether it can stop this group of white-clothed sword formations. But to be honest, it would be good to be able to block it once or twice. It will only be a matter of time before it is broken.
Then, Xuan Ling's long sword descended, slashed hard in the direction of the imperial city, and shouted: "Sword Rain Lingtian!"
In an instant, countless energy swords fell like light rain and shot towards the imperial city.
Immediately afterwards, the energy sword hit the light curtain, and then ripples appeared. This was the activation of the imperial city's protective formation, blocking this wave of attacks.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Xuan Ling raising his sword again and slashing it down just like before.
This time, many tiny cracks clearly appeared on the light curtain guarding the outside of the imperial city, and they gradually expanded under the impact of the energy lightsaber.
"No, the formation is about to break!" a general shouted with a changed expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ling raised his sword and struck down for the third time. Because of the blessing of the "Xuantian Sword Formation", he does not use his own vitality to defeat the imperial city's protective formation, but condenses the power of all the white-clothed people, so he can mobilize frequently in a very short period of time. Huge energy.
With the continuous impact of the energy sword rain, cracks have spread all over the imperial city's protective formation, and finally exploded with a crisp "click" sound, turning into spots of light all over the sky.
Then, the energy lightsaber that broke through the protective formation spilled out and penetrated the bodies of the soldiers. Blood splattered and bodies wearing armor fell down one after another.
This energy lightsaber is extraordinary. With the blessing of the sword formation, each lightsaber contains quite terrifying energy. Although these warriors are very powerful, they are still unable to face the impact of this rain of swords. Resistant.
The old eunuch beside Emperor Tang stood in front of him. It was the "bloody jade hand" that blocked the incoming energy light sword for him. He said to Li Junlin: "Your Majesty, this is dangerous, please stay for now." Move to the rear."
Li Junlin slowly shook his head and said: "This is the last line of defense, where can I retreat to?"
The old eunuch wanted to say something more, but Li Junlin waved his hand and said: "Don't say any more, I want to stand together with the soldiers. Xuantian Sect wants to plot against our Tang Kingdom today, and I will fight them to the death!"
Then he continued: "Besides, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose. Today, these people will have to stay here for no reason!"
Even in this situation, Emperor Tang seemed calm and composed. He didn't know whether he was holding on or really relying on something. If it's the latter, then where is his confidence?
Of course, these things are not something that a eunuch like him should consider. All he can do at this moment is to protect Emperor Tang!
The protective formation was broken, and the rain of swords in the sky attacked the soldiers in the imperial city. It was an unequal battle, more like a one-sided massacre!
The battle situation between the Xiantian Realm is not optimistic. Although with the participation of "Zhidian" and others, the pressure on "Gun God" Lin Ye and Qingbai Erlao has been greatly reduced, but it is impossible to reverse the situation of the battle. .
The current situation can only postpone the outcome of the defeat of the Tang army for a period of time, but if there are no variables, this outcome will eventually become a reality in the near future, regardless of whether the Tang State is willing or not.
In the fierce battle, no one noticed a figure quietly arriving, quietly watching the fierce battle.
The figure is Lin Yan, who is coming quickly. The injuries in his body have not fully recovered, but thanks to the special skills, the energy in his body has recovered a lot, and he still has fighting power.
He originally planned to look for Mingya and others first, but the fierce battle here attracted his attention. Thinking that they would also come here, he gave up the idea of looking for Mingya and others and went straight to the imperial city. Come.
Observing the field carefully, Lin Yan quickly locked his target. The elder in white was obviously at a disadvantage in the battle with "Gun God" Lin Ye, and it was a good time for him to take action.
Without any further hesitation, Lin Yan drew his sword and charged up, instantly adjusting his condition to the best. Then his eyes flashed, and his figure was like lightning. In an instant, he was behind the white-clothed elder.
The sword slashed out with lightning speed, the head flew away, blood spattered, and the headless body of the white-clothed elder fell to the ground.
The young man in the field stood holding a knife, and for a moment, the whole place was silent!
