At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

Outside this secret room, there is a spacious room with tables, chairs, beds and other items.

"sit!"

Lin Chen pulled Empress Jiuxuan to sit down at the table, and then glanced at the man in black lying on the ground next to him, covering his broken arm and wailing, and said indifferently: "Who are you? Who sent you here?"

There was a look of fear in the eyes of the man in black, and he shouted in panic: "It doesn't matter what I do, please spare me, this matter has nothing to do with me! It was Qianye Demon King who asked us to come, and he asked us to kill you. , Kill Her Majesty the Nine-Xuan Empress, and he promises to give us adequate rewards after we accomplish the feat!"

After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed in supplication. His forehead hit the floor with blood flowing freely.

He also considered a person who knew the current affairs to be a hero, and immediately betrayed the Qianye Demon King.

When Empress Jiuxuan heard this, she felt disgusted in her heart. She didn't expect that Qianye Demon King would send someone to assassinate her. Did she still have any conscience?

Lin Chen snorted coldly: "Let me ask you, which Mo Luo Temple are you from?"

"Telamen!"

"Who is the master of Tianluomen?"

"I don't know. We never get involved in Tianluomen's affairs! I really don't know!"

The man shook his head quickly.

Lin Chen snorted coldly: "If you don't know, just die!"

Plop!

The man was so frightened that he peed his pants and said quickly: "I know! He is from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. I know a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect named Li Yuanqing, who is one of the three holy envoys of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. If you don't believe it, you can Catch him and torture him!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly closed his mouth and prayed in his heart that Lin Chen would arrest the person quickly.

"Okay. Lead the way!" Lin Chen stood up and walked towards the secret room.

Seeing that Lin Chen was gone, the short and fat old man breathed a sigh of relief and followed him out, crawling on the ground.

Empress Jiuxuan also wanted to follow her out. Lin Chen frowned, turned around and shouted coldly: "You stay and take care of your father!"

Empress Jiuxuan paused for a moment and then followed out.

Lin Chen and the short, fat old man soon arrived at the door of the secret room. The short, fat old man pointed into the distance and said, "Go this way and you can find Li Yuanqing!"

Lin Chen nodded and continued to move forward.

"Wait...wait for me!" Empress Jiuxuan caught up with Lin Chen and gasped.

Lin Chen said: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Empress Jiuxuan said: "My father was poisoned and his life is about to expire. I must stay with him and treat the poison for him!"

Although she was smart as ice and snow, she was not deeply involved in the world and did not know the dangers of the world. Therefore, when she heard that Li Yuanqing dared to poison her father, she was worried about his father's comfort, so she hurried over.

Lin Chen frowned, but still nodded: "Okay, I'll send you there. You tell me first, is there no way to solve your father's poison other than that demon blood pill?"

Empress Jiuxuan sighed and said: "The poison is very strange. I once asked Master to try to detoxify it, but it was useless and she was helpless."

Lin Chen frowned and said nothing more.

He estimated that the toxicity of the Demonic Blood Pill that day was much more powerful than his own Frost Spirit Flame, otherwise Empress Jiuxuan would not have been helpless.

Soon, they arrived in front of a palace.

The short and fat old man said quickly: "Your Highness, Li Yuanqing is here!"

"You stay here."

Lin Chen threw the short and fat old man on the spot, and then walked into the palace with Empress Jiuxuan.

Empress Jiuxuan had a strange feeling, as if she had become a little woman who relied on Lin Chen, and she could feel that the other party did not have any bad thoughts towards her. This feeling made her feel a little shy.

"Your Highness, I'll be waiting for you outside the door!"

Empress Jiuxuan's face turned red and she left Lin Chen's arms.

After the two entered the palace, there were dozens of people performing their duties. When they saw Empress Jiuxuan entering, they all bowed their heads and saluted.

Lin Chen looked around as if strolling in a garden, wondering in his heart, since Li Yuanqing already knew that he and Empress Jiuxuan were here, why was he still hiding in the palace?

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man who looked like a guard hurried over, saluted respectfully and reported: "Your Highness, I just received news that the Thousand Nights Demon King has escaped!"

"What?" Lin Chen and Empress Jiuxuan were both surprised.

At this time, a tall and burly man rushed in with a dozen warriors holding long swords, staring at Lin Chen and Empress Jiuxuan with ferocious faces.

The bodies of these warriors are filled with strong evil spirits, and their strength is also very extraordinary. The worst ones are all at the early level of Tongtian Realm, and the strongest ones are even at the peak level of Tongtian Realm.

Lin Chen took one look and realized that these people were all members of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect!

"Did you kill the members of my Ten Thousand Poison Sect? You are quite brave. Not only did you come here to cause trouble, but you also dared to break into the imperial city. You deserve to be damned! Who are you?" The burly man's eyes were as cold as lightning. Staring at Lin Chen.

He is the deputy leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Zhang Lie, and the leader of the forces behind Li Yuanqing!

"I just want to save people, no offense intended!" Lin Chen said indifferently.

His tone was calm, but it gave people a sense of oppression. Zhang Lie's eyes were slightly stern. He always felt that the person in front of him was very extraordinary.

Empress Jiuxuan frowned and said, "Deputy Leader Zhang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Lie said: "Your Highness, I still don't know who this person is. What if he is a spy? I will never allow spies to sneak into the imperial city!"

When he spoke, a cold murderous aura emerged from his body, and he obviously wanted to kill Lin Chen.

"You are not allowed to do anything!" Empress Jiuxuan yelled angrily and stood in front of Lin Chen.

She knew that if Lin Chen was really a spy, Lin Chen would definitely die if she let Zhang Lie take action, and she didn't want Lin Chen to make any mistakes.

"Your Highness, this guy has bad intentions. What if he is a spy?"

Zhang Lie looked displeased and thought to himself that you are the future young leader of our Ten Thousand Poison Sect. This kid has not even a hair on his head. What is there for you to protect?

"Enough!" Empress Jiuxuan shouted coldly.

Although she is young, she possesses an irresistible majesty.

"What's your name and why are you here?" Empress Jiuxuan asked.

Lin Chen said calmly: "My name is Lin Chen. I am from Jiuyoumen. I was ordered to help your father cure his illness."

Empress Jiuxuan's face changed slightly and she said: "Are you a doctor? But my father has taken the Demon Blood Pill, so there is no way to treat him. My father has been poisoned for more than thirty years, and he suffers severe pain every day, and his oil is exhausted. The lamp is dry!”

Although she knew that Lin Chen was here to help, she didn't think that Lin Chen could really help. After all, this Heavenly Demon Blood Pill was no ordinary product.

"If I say it can be cured, it can be cured!"

Lin Chen said confidently.

From the words of Empress Jiuxuan, he deduced that her father should have taken the Demon Blood Pill. However, the Demon Blood Pill was indeed very powerful. Otherwise, Empress Jiuxuan's father would not be alive now. .

But Lin Chen was not afraid, he believed in his medical skills.

"Hmph! I think you are clearly here to seek revenge! Who are you if you are not a spy? Do you want to take revenge on the Ten Thousand Poison Sect? You are wishful thinking! You traitor, I will kill you today!"

Zhang Lie's eyes were filled with resentment, and he rushed toward Lin Chen. He struck out with a palm, causing the air to vibrate and the sound of breaking wind to come, like a giant python spitting out its core.

Although he was angry at Lin Chen for killing his men, he had not forgotten that Lin Chen was here to save Empress Jiuxuan. If Lin Chen was killed, Empress Jiuxuan would probably be heartbroken, right?

Therefore, he did not use all his strength in this attack.

Bang!

He punched Lin Chen, but Lin Chen slapped him in the chest with his backhand.

puff!

There was a muffled sound.

Zhang Lie was slapped and flew ten meters away. Blood spurted out from his mouth. He smashed the wall and fell to the ground.

"Vice-leader Zhang!"

"Deputy leader!"

…

Immediately, the expressions of the surrounding warriors changed, and they quickly ran towards Zhang Lie who fell on the ground and helped him up.

Lin Chen looked at Empress Jiuxuan and frowned: "Where is your friend?"

"Ah? Oh, are you looking for my sister?"

Empress Jiuxuan was stunned, then quickly pointed to the right and said: "She is in the room over there! I will take you there!"

After saying that, she quickly ran towards the house on the right.

After a while, Empress Jiuxuan came out with a beautiful woman in a white dress whose clothes were a little messy and had tears on her face. She was none other than Empress Jiuxuan's sister, Princess Jiuxuan.

"Sister! You finally woke up! Woohoo... you scared me to death!" Empress Jiuxuan held her sister's hand, excited.

Princess Jiuxuan touched her sister's head, showed an endearing smile, and said, "Silly girl, I'm fine."

Her eyes fell on Lin Chen, her face was suspicious, and she asked: "Who are you? I don't seem to know you."

Lin Chen said: "My name is Lin Chen."

"Lin Chen..." Princess Jiuxuan muttered to herself several times and shook her head, not recognizing the name.

Lin Chen didn't notice the look on her face, but looked at Princess Jiuxuan. He saw that Princess Jiuxuan's face was a bit sickly pale, and there were some beads of sweat on her forehead. No wonder she had been in a coma for nearly a hundred years. , and still haven’t recovered.

Her soul body was severely damaged.

Not only that, but one Dantian was destroyed, causing body function to fail. Even if one cultivates to the realm of a saint, he can only live a thousand years.

This also caused her appearance to look much older than that of Empress Jiuxuan.

"Princess, how do you feel now?" Lin Chen asked with concern.

"It feels good, thank you!"

Princess Jiuxuan said something, and then changed the subject: "I heard from my sister that it was you who came to treat my father."

"Um."

Lin Chen nodded, looked at Zhang Lie and said, "Zhang Lie, you go down first!"

"Why do you let me leave? You, a brat who is still young, dare to command me here? Who do you think you are?"

Zhang Lie looked sarcastic and said coldly: "I think you are not a medical expert at all, you are just here to cause trouble! I advise you to leave immediately and don't try to play any tricks!"

Lin Chen frowned and said: "Since you don't want to leave, there is no need to stay. Jiuxuan, let's go."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Lie shouted quickly.

"Huh? What else do you want?"

"I can't decide this matter alone!"
