The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 304 ~ Entering the Imperial Palace
Zhang Ziyi pulled back her hand from Mei Lan's forehead. But the girl still closed both eyes.
A purple colored aura seeped out from his body. It was extremely concentrated, slowly Mei Lan's body lifted itself in the air.
The aura was getting stronger, containing a deadly poison Qi. Until suddenly there was a strong turmoil that caused an explosion of the girl's body.
Baamm....
The purple aura split apart and spread to all directions. Hou Die looked surprised to the point of not having time to protect himself from the poison.
Fortunately there was Zhang Ziyi beside him who instantly created a protective array for the man to avoid being affected by the effects of the poison.
After a while, the purple aura had stopped writing and disappeared completely. It was Mei Lan who had landed on the ground. The aura emanating from her also seemed different, now the girl was just getting stronger than before.
Hou Die immediately approached Mei Lan to make sure of the girl's condition. It could be seen that his condition had improved, even his originally black lips were now changing with a fragrant pink hue. Only his clothes were growing deep purple.
"Well, great! Master made your strength increase so much!" said Hou Die with passion.
Mei Lan turned her head towards Hou Die for a moment, then turned to approach Zhang Ziyi who was still five meters away from her at that time.
Kneeling, the girl said, "Thank you, Teacher! Thanks to you, these poisons in my body do not threaten my life. They have become a strength to me!" the girl was very sincere with her words.
Zhang Ziyi nodded his head slowly. "Umm, now stand up!" his orders.
Mei Lan followed Zhang Ziyi's orders. He stood firm.
"Alright, since our affairs are appropriate, then let's continue our journey to the central city of the empire!" zhang Ziyi said as she stepped leisurely with both hands folded behind.
Niao and Laohu followed Zhang Ziyi's footsteps. As for Mei Lan herself looked speechless. He hesitated to come together towards the Imperial city.
"You don't have to be afraid. Teacher is a good person, I was even helped by him! Look at the power we have equal now!" Hou Die approached Mei Lan and invited her to come with them.
Mei Lan put on a sumringah face. "alright... Thank you!"
The two people then followed in the footsteps of Zhang Ziyi, Niao and Laohu from behind.
The five of them reached the entrance of the city. Now they have to face the guards there.
"Show me your identification! If you don't have one, please leave the city!" said the legitimate one guard who detained Zhang Ziyi.
Looking towards the man for a moment, Zhang Ziyi with his flat and calm face seemed to be ignoring the guard. But he was still silent on the spot.
The problem is that he does not have an identification tag for this region. All he had was a badge as the Celestial emperor. But there's no way he's using that to show this very small thing.
But when he turned his head back towards Zhang Ziyi, the guard was so shocked when he did not find Zhang Ziyi familiar. Likewise with Niao, Laohu, Mei Lan and Hou Die.
"Where did they go? The feeling of two seconds ago is still here?" the guard asked curiously. Confirming the whereabouts of Zhang Ziyi and the four others through other guarding designs, but none of them saw or knew about it. Even they were also as confused as the guard that held Zhang Ziyi back earlier.

Zhang Ziyi as well as his two subordinates as well as his two students had currently been in the midst of the city crowd. Surprisingly no one noticed their sudden appearance. Either because it was too busy or because of what things so crowded the people there seemed to see the presence of Zhang Ziyi, Laohu, Niao, and others, Hou Die and Mei Lan had been there for a long time.
"What's going on? Why am I here?" ask Mei Lan. He was confused by what he had just experienced. He just blinked his eyes. But after that blink, he was among the many people who were busy with their respective activities.
"It seems like this empire is very careless.even the strict guards outside but inside they don't pay attention to it. Many people harbored evil intentions here!" laohu said while paying attention to the crowd of the city.
"It's none of our business. Right now all we have to do is go and enter that palace!" niao.
Zhang Ziyi had already stepped out his foot. His subordinates and two disciples also followed Zhang Ziyi.
They arrived at the entrance gate of the Imperial palace. But for the second time they were arrested.
"You guys look foreign. From your man of origin?" asked the man who was the gatekeeper to the palace. It seemed that the strength of this person was stronger than the guards present guarding the entrance gate of the city.
Laohu who saw their treatment was so disrespectful towards Zhang Ziyi was irritated and wanted to swallow the person alive. indeed earlier when they were prevented at the entrance of the city, he had briefly held back his killing intent, but this time he seemed to want to swallow the person holding Zhang Ziyi.
But before Laohu acted any further, Zhang Ziyi first gave the code to him.
"Listen-heard the princess is experiencing a dangerous disease. I intend to try to cure him!" zhang Ziyi.
The guard was once suspicious of Zhang Ziyi, so did not believe Zhang Ziyi's words just like that.
"Say first where you are!"
"Is that necessary? Or you are more concerned with your identity than with the safety of your daughter. Oh, sir, it seems like we don't have to tire of exerting energy to help their princess. We better go back and—!"
"Wait... All right, let's go in! I'll take you to meet His Majesty the Emperor!"
Although he was handsome being annoyed by Laohu's remark earlier, but the guard had to lower his ego and chose to let Zhang Ziyi, Laohu, Niao, Hou Die and Mei Lan to enter.
The guard escorted them to a room believed to be where the Emperor was.
Knocking on the door, the Guard then said, "Your Majesty, there's a healer trying to save the Princess!"
Not long after, the glorious door opened, revealing a servant coming out. The servant immediately allowed Zhang Ziyi and the others to enter. Meanwhile, the guards who escorted Zhang Ziyi, Niao, Laohu, Hou Die and Mei Lan chose to return to the gate to take a vigil.
