The Tang Second Master walked into the Imperial City.
This was his first time coming to the Imperial Palace, but he was very familiar with it. No matter if it was the Heavenly Slaughter Array or any other array, none of them could slow his steps in the slightest.
Before long, his blue clothes had vanished in the darkness. When they next appeared, he had already arrived before the Lingyan Pavilion.
This long set of stone steps before him extended all the way to the night sky, seeming as if one could use them to ascend to the heavens.
To many people, the Lingyan Pavilion and this long set of steps made up the most magnificent and most beautiful building in the Imperial Palace.
But to the Tang Second Master, these stone steps and that lone tower high above were the most hideous buildings of the Imperial Palace.
In his view, the Lingyan Pavilion and this long stairway were a complete mismatch with the Imperial Palace's style. They were too new and too obvious.
”Truly the artistic sense of the newly rich.”
He lightly mocked, then began walking up the steps.
Arriving before the Lingyan Pavilion, he did not display any caution or prudence. He pushed open the door and entered, seeming excessively calm and easygoing.
Liang Wangsun sat in the center of the Lingyan Pavilion, quietly gazing at the tightly shut window, seeming to be thinking about something.
His blood was still flowing, spreading through the streets of the capital by means of the light emitted from the White Sun Flame.
”Emperor Taizong's modifications to the Imperial Design were not completely thorough—there are still some problems he wasn't able to address. If you continue to persist, your blood will very quickly be drained clean.”
The Tang Second Master walked into the Lingyan Pavilion and glanced around him at the portraits on the walls. Striking his folding fan against his palm, he shook his head.
Liang Wangsun raised his head to look at him and asked, ”Who are you?”
The Tang Second Master calmly replied, ”My surname is Tang, and my seniority is second.”
Liang Wangsun's expression grew slightly more serious. ”So you are the Tang Second Master.”
The Tang Second Master gave one of his noiseless laughs, seeming to be quite happy that a famous man like Liang Wangsun also knew of him.
Then his smile instantly faded as he expressionlessly said, ”Since Sir knows who I am, then you should clearly know that you are not my match.”
Liang Wangsun calmly gazed back, replying, ”Other people do not know of how terrifying the Tang Second Master is, but how could I not know? But right now, my soul is one with the Imperial Design, so how can you move me?”
The Tang Second Master's gaze fell upon his body.
A stream of light, a golden Qi, was currently flickering around Liang Wangsun's body.
He sat in the Lingyan Pavilion, yet he was already one with the capital's Imperial Design.
Any sort of attack was an attack against the Imperial Design and would receive the full might of its backlash.
But if one did not attack Liang Wangsun, how could he be separated from the Imperial Design?
The Tang Second Master once more gave a noiseless laugh. His appearance should have been rather amusing, but in the Lingyan Pavilion that was lit as brightly as day, it seemed particularly frightening.
Without even glancing at Liang Wangsun, he walked towards the east pillar of the four pillars in the Lingyan Pavilion. He took an item from his sleeve and inserted it in the pillar.
Liang Wangsun's expression suddenly shifted when he saw this. He wanted to do something, yet he was unable to stand.
An extremely ancient Qi seeped out from the Tang Second Master's palm. Through the item, the Qi poured into the pillar and continued deeper. Passing through the seemingly endless stone steps, it entered some cave below the Imperial Palace. There, through previously unknown secret channels and canals, it spread throughout the capital.
A breeze stirred within the Lingyan Pavilion and a soft drone could be heard, then the light instantly dimmed!
The demon's divine artifact, the White Sun Flame, was extinguished!
Liang Wangsun's blood flowing from his hand to the White Sun Flame was no longer absorbed, but continued its journey to drip to the ground.
A groan of incredible pain burst from his lips!
Just like that, his soul was ripped away from the Imperial Design. Although he did not suffer the complete backlash from the array, being so forcefully torn away had dealt him severe internal injuries!
Right after that groan of pain, blood trickled down from the corner of his lips.
Liang Wangsun's complexion became abnormally pale, the hand holding the White Sun Flame faintly trembling, his eyes brimming with shock.
He looked at the Tang Second Master and asked incredulously, ”How do you know of the array pivot and the divine techniques!”
The Tang Second Master slowly drew his palm back from the pillar. He took a handkerchief from his sleeve and carefully wiped splinters from his palm.
There was a magical artifact made from bronze on the pillar, the vast majority of it embedded within. Only the top layer could be seen, and it looked just like an eye.
An extremely ancient eye.
”Just as I said to a junior not long before, one has to learn how to revere, and what is most worth revering about our Tang clan is our history.” He looked at Liang Wangsun and continued, ”Whether it was the Chen clan or your Liang clan, all of you believed this great array of the capital to be yours, but you all forgot, this great array...was built by our Tang clan.”
