The Story of Nine Journeys

Arrivals

Jun Yuan opened his eyes as he felt two familiar auras enter his room

" What do you get " said Jun Yuan

" Gosh," his two friends were shocked when they heard him

" My heart is good, my wife, don't say "Lin Zhi said as her hand rubbed her chest

" Xiao Di, do you want to kill me "Mu Qiaoyu said to his face still look shocked

" It's not my fault, you unwary fellows "reply Jun Yuan indifferently

" It is better that you tell me what information you have ", Jun Yuan said

" Oh that, just relax you can count on your handsome husband "lin Zhi said confidently

" Zhang Haoran,, the old man has arrived in this city, now he is where the participants of the race are staying, the problem is that the place where they stay is in the outer region of the imperial palace " Lin Zhi explained

Jun Yuan nodded

" Well, it doesn't matter "

" The information I have may come as a bit of a surprise, first about the Queen's deteriorating condition, don't ask me where I know it from, then secondly about the Devil's Fingers group of organizations, and then secondly about the Devil's Fingers,they started to move this time directly with their leader and core members, if we want to block it we have to move quickly before they enter the central city area "Mu Qiaoyu explained the information he got

" Then I didn't know if this information was true or not, I heard rumors that someone from a faraway land was now living in the emperor's palace,whether he's a friend or an infiltrating opponent I don't know because I haven't asked my teacher directly about it "Mu Qiaoyu ended his explanation

Jun Yuan grinned, he had guessed that the person Mu Qiaoyu meant must be his new friend

" On the condition of the empress let me take care of it, this time we have to move apart, Zhi I think you can buy time for the rebels who joined the organization of the Devil's Taring, which is a group of organizations,hold them in the woods of the city border as long as you can any way "

" Jiejie,, watch that guy Zhang Haoran, let me know if there's any suspicious movement from him, I'm counting on Jiejie for the job, if I get caught getting away from him right away, I'm counting on Jiejie,I will help you after helping Zhi because the person named Zhang Haoran has a personal problem with me "Jun Yuan explained his plan in outline

Jun Yuan got up then handed a paper talisman to Lin Zhi

" Burn it when you're going to confront the rebels and the members of the Devil's Taring Organization, if someone comes tell him that I told you to understand,,,"

Lin Zhi accepted it, she immediately put on a face and said

" Aiiihhh,, it turns out you have another mistress, I'm heartbroken geez, my heart aches when I hear it "

" Zhi,, uh,,,"

" Stupid,,,"

Jun Yuan and Mu Qiaoyu said almost simultaneously

" It's not the time to joke, Senor "snarled Qiaoyu

Lin Zhi jumped in shock even to the point of jumping

" God, why are you so compact when you hurt me "

" It's been, you better rest, we'll start moving tomorrow morning "Jun Yuan stepped towards the bathroom

The next day only Jun Yuan was left at the inn, intentionally doing so because today he planned to enter the palace to meet the Empress

At the table in the middle room of the inn room he saw a set of clothes beside him with a piece of paper

^^^* Yuan whoever dares to intrude on your life I will make sure to finish him off in any way even if I have to die *^^^

Jun Yuan smiled as he read it, he was very familiar with the handwriting

" Zhi, I know you'll do it "

Jun Yuan did not immediately change his clothes, for now he preferred to use the clothes he used to wear and stored a set of those clothes into his Universal Bracelet

Exactly a quarter of the sun passing through Jun Yuan's journey flashed between the houses of the inhabitants, his goal was certainly the imperial palace, as he would normally enter silently through a secret passage that only he and his family knew

Jun Yuan was treading on a fairly lush tree amongst the several trees surrounding the area of the imperial palace, the place was quite quiet as it was at the back of the palace territory, which was quite quiet,he had to pass through the guardrail and the outer area of the palace before he really entered the inner area of the Emperor's palace

Jun Yuan went down after confirming the safety around him then moved his hand making a seal then activated it by attaching his palm to the barrier wall

A circle formed from energy is created and gets bigger every second, inside the circle there is a black and blue energy wave and sprinkles a small lightning energy

Not waiting for Jun Yuan to enter the energy circle and disappear along with the disappearance of the energy circle after he entered it

at the back of the quiet resting palace the energy ripples were created forming a circle that splashed out energy waves like before

Jun Yuan walked out of the energy circle which then disappeared by itself

He circulated his gaze to ensure the safety around him to then move to jump on top of the resting palace building

There were some soldiers standing guard and some were going around in groups to make sure it was safe

Jun Yuan then spread out his perception to make sure the empress' place was

The thin smile behind her mask meant that she managed to know the location of the empress but as she was about to move she felt some powerful aura approaching her

" Good, that's how the elites should work "he murmured

In an instant he disappeared from there, shortly afterwards some people arrived there

" I felt the energy point towards this place but, uh," said one of the five people who came

" It looks like we're late, and you're spreading the lookout for whoever that person is until I can report to the chairman" said another

Then it flashed in a different direction

Jun Yuan appeared right in the corner of the room without anyone noticing it, his eyes staring at a woman lying weakly on the bed with the four servants that one of whom Jun Yuan knew

" A-yi,," Jun Yuan said softly

The three maids were surprised but could not shout as Jun Yuan at his speed poke at the three maids while the oldest one was stunned when he heard his voice

" Yuan Tu-Young, Yuan" said the servant involuntarily

" Aunty,," Jun Yuan replied

The servant directly embraced Jun Yuan without hesitation

" Young Master, thank goodness you came, lady, the Queen Consort Young Master, the queen consort" said the maid, stammered with tears

Yes, the servant took care of little Jun Yuan while living in the palace first

" Ten yourself aunt, let me see A-yi's condition "Jun Yuan replied

Jun Yuan touched the pale face of someone who loved him so much besides his family

Chilly

It was the first time he felt when he touched it, he then drained his pure air with a very careful heart to slightly reduce the spread of toxins in the body of the empress

His forehead creased when he learned that many organs in the empress were badly injured

The empress's eyelashes trembled before she opened her eyes after feeling something warm enter her body and turned to look at the person who placed a hand on her stomach

Jun Yuan deliberately let the empress' weak hand move to touch her mask to then take it off ascertaining what was on her mind

The empress' eyes opened wide when she saw the face of the person sitting next to her

" Yu-yuan, is this really you son," said the Empress softly

" A-yi,, forgive me for coming to see you too late, excuse me," Jun Yuan replied softly, a tear coming out from the corner of his eyes dripping wet on the Empress's clothes
