Autobiography of Li Yunfei, a time traveler

Chapter 228 Imperial City Assassin

Since the mysterious old man helped, Li Yunfei's sect has ushered in a rare period of peace. But Li Yunfei and others did not relax because they knew that the power of darkness was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark and could attack again at any time.

In the sect, disciples can be seen everywhere practicing hard in the martial arts field. The sun shines on their sweaty bodies, reflecting their tenacity and determination. Li Yunfei personally guides the new disciples. His eyes are focused and stern, and every movement is demonstrated accurately.

"The essence of swordsmanship lies in the unity of mind and sword. You must inject your will into every swing of the sword." Li Yunfei said loudly, and his voice echoed in the martial arts training ground.

The new disciples were focused and their eyes were like torches. They stared at Li Yunfei's every move, trying to integrate the essence of his swordsmanship into their own bones. They held the hilts of the swords tightly, as if they wanted to rub it into their palms, and followed Li Yunfei's movements, one move after another. Among them was a disciple named Xiaofeng, his forehead was covered with sweat, his eyes were wide open, and he was concentrating on imitating Li Yunfei's movements. However, perhaps because he was too nervous, the sword in his hand suddenly slipped, making a crisp sound.

"Xiaofeng, concentrate!" Li Yunfei's voice was stern and low, exploding in Xiaofeng's ears like thunder. Xiaofeng's face flushed instantly, and he quickly bent down to pick up the sword and devoted himself to practice again.

At the same time, Lin Yue was sitting in a pavilion not far away, gently healing the wounded disciples. The magic light in her hands was soft and warm, like the spring sunshine, gently brushing the wounds of the wounded, bringing a reassuring power.

"How do you feel?" Lin Yue asked softly, eyes full of concern.

The injured disciple looked at her gratefully with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Senior Sister Lin. I am much better now."

Mo Ying and Zhang Hao were also busy. They were responsible for patrolling the situation around the sect to ensure that no threats approached. The two walked along the mountain path, and the breeze rustled the leaves.

"I don't know if the Dark Cult will make a comeback." Zhang Hao said, looking around vigilantly.

Mo Ying frowned slightly: "No matter what, we must be prepared."

At this moment, a strange bird cry suddenly came from the sky. Li Yunfei and others looked up and saw a huge white bird flying towards the sect.

The bird landed on the training ground, and on its back sat a messenger dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"Is Sect Leader Li Yunfei here?" the messenger asked loudly.

Li Yunfei stepped forward, bowed and said, "I am here. I wonder what the envoy is here for?"

The messenger took out a golden letter from his bosom and handed it to Li Yunfei: "This is an invitation letter from the Imperial City. His Majesty has heard about your sect's heroic struggle with the Dark Cult, and specially invites you to the Imperial City for a chat."

Li Yunfei took the letter, opened it, and his expression became solemn.

"Master, what's wrong?" Lin Yue asked.

Li Yunfei took a deep breath and said, "There seem to be some unusual signs in the Imperial City. Your Majesty hopes that we can assist in the investigation."

Everyone looked at each other, realizing that a new challenge was coming.

After some preparation, Li Yunfei led some of his disciples on the journey to the imperial city. Along the way, the scenery was picturesque, but they had no intention of appreciating it.

Finally, the towering walls of the imperial city appeared before their eyes. The gates were heavily guarded, and the soldiers' armor shone coldly in the sun.

"Who is coming?" the guard asked loudly.

Li Yunfei showed the invitation letter and the guard let him pass.

After entering the imperial city, the disciples were dazzled by the prosperous scene. There were shops on both sides of the street, and pedestrians were bustling. But Li Yunfei keenly noticed that behind this prosperity, there seemed to be a hint of uneasiness.

They were arranged to live in a separate courtyard in the palace. In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the palace to welcome Li Yunfei and others.

In the banquet hall, the lights were bright and the tables were filled with delicacies and fine wines. The emperor sat on a high seat, smiling at Li Yunfei and others.

"Li Yunfei, I have heard of your heroic deeds a long time ago," said the emperor.

Li Yunfei replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. This is our unshirkable responsibility."

Halfway through the banquet, there was suddenly a commotion outside.

"Oh no! There's an assassin!" someone shouted.

Li Yunfei and others immediately stood up and rushed towards the direction of the commotion.

A group of black-clad assassins were seen killing people indiscriminately in the palace. The palace guards fought hard, but the situation remained critical.

Li Yunfei drew his sword and moved as fast as lightning, killing several assassins in an instant.

"Everyone be careful, these assassins are very skilled!" Li Yunfei shouted.

Lin Yue cast a spell to protect everyone. Mo Ying and Zhang Hao were not afraid and fought fiercely with the assassin.

With everyone's combined efforts, the assassins were gradually repelled. The emperor looked at the blood and corpses on the ground, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face, but he still forced himself to say to everyone: "Thank you for your help." However, his face was still heavy, as if he still had many worries in his heart.

Li Yunfei bowed to the emperor and said in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, this matter is probably not simple. These assassins seem to be well prepared." The emperor nodded slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

After some investigation, they found that these assassins seemed to have a close connection with the Dark Order. This discovery made everyone feel depressed, because the Dark Order has always been a mysterious and powerful organization, and its purpose and motives are unpredictable.

"Could it be that the Dark Cult has already infiltrated the Imperial City?" Lin Yue said worriedly. There was a hint of uneasiness in her voice. After all, the Imperial City was the core of the country. If the Dark Cult could really establish its own forces here, the consequences would be disastrous.

Li Yunfei frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It is very likely. We must find out their conspiracy as soon as possible. If we let them continue, it may bring great disaster to the whole country."

In the following days, Li Yunfei and others conducted an in-depth investigation in the imperial city. They visited everywhere, looking for clues, trying to uncover the conspiracy of the dark cult in the imperial city. In the process, they encountered various resistances and difficulties, but they never gave up.

Finally, they discovered that the Dark Cult had secretly colluded with some dignitaries in the imperial city in an attempt to overthrow the regime. This discovery shocked everyone and made them realize the seriousness of the matter.

"We must not let their conspiracy succeed." Zhang Hao said angrily. He clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Li Yunfei calmly analyzed the situation: "We must defeat their forces one by one, and at the same time protect the safety of Your Majesty. Only in this way can we ensure the stability and peace of the country."
