Chapter 926: The Ancient Zither
September 25th, 2017
At the Hulao Pass.
Lu HaiKong's attack on Luoyang was a strategic move, leaving behind only his elite forces and excluding the regular troops and a large number of lords.
This decision significantly impacted the interests of many outsider lords, but with Lu HaiKong's dominant power, they could only remain at the Hulao Pass, unable to voice their dissatisfaction.
Of course, expecting these individuals to stay put was nearly impossible. The Hulao Pass was a hotbed of hidden undercurrents.
However, this wasn't the main focus. The real attention was on the mysterious undercurrents within the pass, and as Lu HaiKong approached the Treasure Pavilion, he selected a vessel for the dragon energy. It was then that the two divine weapons, which had made a grand appearance in Luoyang, arrived at the Hulao Pass.
The divine weapons, which had been so prominent in Luoyang, seemed to tone down their presence at the pass. No one noticed their arrival, and after circling above the pass for a while, they descended.
At the same time, Zhang Jiao, who had left Luoyang, looked up and noticed their arrival, but said nothing.
Although Zhang Jiao remained silent, his expression revealed his thoughts. He was taken aback by the appearance of the divine weapons, and after they disappeared, he seemed deep in thought.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Jiao seemed to guess something. His face darkened, but then a smile crept onto his lips, and he suddenly disappeared.
Meanwhile, at the Luoyang Imperial Palace.
At the location where Lu HaiKong had broken through the Blood God Formation, the trapped generals began to emerge.
However, not everyone appeared at the same spot. Guan Yu, in particular, did not.
Interestingly, Guan Yu's appearance was quite peculiar; he emerged in a private chamber.
Even more intriguing was that Guan Yu seemed to have anticipated his appearance in this chamber. He showed no surprise, and after understanding his surroundings, he quickly took action. Before long, Guan Yu found an object within the chamber.
"Just as the military advisor predicted!" Guan Yu's face lit up with joy. He carefully took out a specially made bag, placed the object inside, and secured it close to his body. Then, he turned and left.
...
On the other side, at the Luoyang Imperial Palace.
With no pursuit from Lu HaiKong or anyone else, Lu Bu easily escaped with his demonic energy.
Soon, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo arrived at a specific location within the palace, where several people were waiting for them.
Among those waiting were Li Ru, who had left earlier, Zhang Xiu, who had been beaten by Princess San and Zhao Er, Dong Zhuo's remaining subordinates, and others.
As Lu Bu arrived with his demonic energy, Li Ru immediately approached him, holding a pill in his hand. He fed the pill to Dong Zhuo.
It was unclear where Li Ru had obtained this pill, but its effects were remarkable. After Dong Zhuo consumed it, his raging demonic energy visibly calmed down.
However, even though Dong Zhuo's energy subsided, he still fell into a state of unconsciousness.
There was no other option; Dong Zhuo had just experienced the clash between dragon energy and demonic energy, followed by the riot of his demonic energy, and his body was not particularly robust. It was a miracle he had survived this ordeal.
Li Ru was well aware of Dong Zhuo's condition; he had anticipated this outcome. After feeding Dong Zhuo the pill, he had others watch over Dong Zhuo while he and his group began to leave the palace.
Before departing, Li Ru took one last look at the direction of the Treasure Pavilion.
Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo's fate alteration had failed due to his miscalculations.
He had assumed that only he, Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Jiao would be involved, but after some clues emerged from the failed fate alteration, Li Ru noticed the presence of others.
Having overlooked this layer, their fate alteration might have been doomed from the start.
However, this failure did not leave Li Ru completely hopeless. He knew he still had a chance!
"Next time, next time I will not fail!" As he spoke, Li Ru led his group away from Luoyang.
Among those Li Ru took with him was the young emperor.
...
Back at the Hulao Pass, Lu HaiKong held a vessel, infusing it with dragon energy.
When Lu HaiKong picked up the vessel, he didn't notice anything unusual. But as he began infusing it with dragon energy, he felt something amiss.
Although his eyes were closed, Lu HaiKong had a sense of the vessel's identity. As he continued infusing it with dragon energy," Lu HaiKong's suspicions were confirmed.
