Chapter 657 Chapter 657: Make the Situation Even More Chaotic!
No matter how much Tang Li Xue tried to think, she still could not find any way to sneak into this tightly guarded formation department building.
‘Sigh… It seems my plan to sneak into this formation department building is really hopeless.’ Tang Li Xue thought in frustration.
Wang Shan stared at the depressed Tang Li Xue and became worried about her, so he tried to say something to comfort her: “Miss Tang, you do not need to be that sad. If we find my father and ask him to help us to…”
Tang Li Xue became a bit annoyed and said: “Can you please shut up and let me think calmly for a few minutes?”
‘Asking me to meet that cunning old Wang Tian again in this situation?! Are you kidding me?! Isn’t it the same as asking me to commit suicide?!’ Tang Li Xue thought in annoyance.
Wang Shan saw Tang Li Xue’s mood and expression become worse, so he did not dare to say anything to her anymore.
Tang Li Xue put her slender finger on her smooth chin and started to ponder with a solemn expression: ‘The most tightly guarded places in the Imperial Palace at this time should be the formation department building and the Emperor’s bedroom.’
‘Even so, it does not mean that there are no guards at the other places. Actually, there are so many guards and soldiers that kept patrolling all around the Imperial Palace to track down those two intruder foxes, but the strength and cultivation of those patrolling guards and soldiers are not high.’ Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.
Tang Li Xue rubbed her forehead as she felt really helpless in the current situation.
She really could not think of any way other than to wait for the plan of the two foxes to succeed and get out of this city before them…
Then Tang Li Xue suddenly remembered that the cooldown of her [Two Moons] divine ability had finished just recently, so she decided to summon out her perfect copy.
Well… At least, using two heads to think should be better than one head, right?
But before that, Tang Li Xue did not want Wang Shan to see her summoning out her perfect copy, so she just made him fall asleep behind the ornamental tree on the side of the road with her [Mystic Whisper].
[Twin Moons]~!
An identical charming slender figure appeared right in front of Tang Li Xue.
The perfect copy opened her topaz blue eyes and a playful captivating smile bloomed on her stunningly beautiful face.
“Yo, long time no see~! Wow, I… Uhh, I mean we actually have a lot of new abilities right now~! Good job, my trueself~! Please, keep up your good work~!” The perfect copy encouraged Tang Li Xue with a joyous mood.
Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes and urged her perfect copy: “All right, stop playing around~! Our situation is very bad right now. We had already lost the initiative because of those two foxes’ plan, and we might get eliminated from this Foxes Hunting Festival because of them.”
The perfect copy shook her head disdainfully at the real Tang Li Xue and said: “My true self, since when you became so upright and serious~?! Even your mind becomes less agile and flexible than before.”
Tang Li Xue’s mind and her perfect copy’s mind were connected with each other, so Tang Li Xue could instantly know what her perfect copy was thinking about right now.
Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in shock and disbelief at her perfect copy’s crazy idea.
Her perfect copy sneered evilly and spoke with a playful tone: “Lost the initiative? The plan of those two foxes almost succeeded?! What a nonsense~!”
“Since the chess game between them already started without us joining it, then what we must do right now is to flip the entire chessboard~!” Her perfect copy told her idea to Tang Li Xue.
“You are really insane~! But… that might really work wonder!” Tang Li Xue pondered while murmuring in agreement.
Her perfect copy nodded and added: “Yes, rather than letting the situation remain stagnant like this, it would be better for us if we go on a rampage and make a riot everywhere in this already tense Imperial Palace! I am sure our chance will surely come soon after that!”
The perfect copy sneered playfully again and whispered to the real Tang Li Xue: “And also, are you forgetting something really important from the seventh treasure game?”
Tang Li Xue slapped her forehead and exclaimed: “Damn, how could I forget about something that important?!”
“Hehehehe… That is right~! In the seventh treasure game, that flame fox could still survive after you won the game. At that time, it successfully stole the spatial ring containing the City Lord’s hidden treasures from the Cult Leader.” The perfect copy explained her plan to the real Tang Li Xue with a smug smile on her face.
“I wonder if we can imitate that flame fox to survive this treasure game. But this time, we can try to rob the entire imperial treasuries instead! The reward should be a lot better than the mere City Lord’s hidden treasures, right?!” The perfect copy ended her explanation while putting on a smug expression.
Tang Li Xue was instantly dumbfounded by her perfect copy’s ridiculous plan.
But the more Tang Li Xue thought about it, the more she found that her perfect copy’s insane plan might really have a quite high chance of succeeding.
After making up her mind, Tang Li Xue nodded in agreement and said: “Okay then, I, Little Loki, and Yaya will create the riot and commotion around the Imperial Palace, while your task will be to look for the Imperial Treasury room and find a chance to rob it.”
The perfect copy grasped her fist excitedly and replied: “No problem~! I like this task very much~!”
When the perfect copy turned around and dashed away, Tang Li Xue quickly grabbed her hand and pointed at Wang Shan while saying: “Wait a minute… Take this guy with you too~! He will definitely be very useful to you. With his identity as Wang Tian’s pampered third son, you can move around freely in this Imperial Palace without being suspected by those guards and soldiers.”
“Sigh… Okay~!” Her perfect copy made a reluctant expression, but in the end, she replied while making an okay gesture with her fingers.

The real Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment], then swiftly got away to look for the least guarded places in this Imperial Palace.
Meanwhile, her perfect copy violently slapped the sleeping Wang Shan until his cheeks were swollen, and he woke up in great pain.
Then she used [Mystic Whisper] on him again to make him obey her every order.
Tang Li Xue herself actually did not really like her perfect copy’s insane plan very much since she would need to kill many people to make the current stagnant situation a lot more chaotic.
But it could not be helped since she currently could not think of any other choices at this point.
Surprisingly, the first least guarded place Tang Li Xue had found was the beautiful imperial garden.
Well, it completely made sense since no one would have any mood to enjoy the beautiful imperial garden in this extremely tense situation.
Despite that, there were at least twenty patrolling royal guards in this beautiful imperial garden, but the highest cultivation among them was only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.
No one realized it when Tang Li Xue entered this beautiful imperial garden in her [Ethereal Form].
Tang Li Xue admired the beautiful imperial garden for a few moments before she secretly let out Yaya and Little Loki from her system’s pet space.
There were many pink peach trees, colorful flowers, and beautiful butterflies in this imperial garden, which made it look like a small paradise.
Even Yaya flew and played around extremely happily in this imperial garden after turning herself invisible with [Traceless Wind Cover], while Little Loki sat on the grass and yawned lazily as usual.
“All right, you guys stop playing around! We have a lot of things to do right now!” Tang Li Xue whispered to Yaya and Little Loki with telepathy, and she also explained what they needed to do right now.
At first, Tang Li Xue planned to use her [Mystic Whisper] to control many guards and soldiers with weaker strength and cultivation, then ordered them to execute the plan for her.
But she immediately gave up that intention after she recalled that the City Lord guard’s captain in the seventh treasure game could use treasure on the controlled guards to track her location.
Different from the previous City Lord’s mansion, there are many Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in this Imperial Palace right now.
If those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators also used the compass-like treasure to track her like what had happened in the seventh treasure game, there would be no way for her to escape from them!
It would certainly be the end of her in this Foxes Hunting Festival at that time!
“Sigh, forget it… Let’s just do it in a direct way~! Let’s start, Yaya, Little Loki~!” Tang Li Xue urged Little Loki and Yaya with a solemn expression.
Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki silently approached the patrolling royal guards and soldiers in an invisible state, and then they suddenly launched a fatal sneak attack on them!
[Scythe Claw Qi]~!
[Compressed Wind Blade]~!
[Moonlight Flash]~!
PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!
How could guards and soldiers with the strength of the early Foundation Establishment Stage face their lethal sudden attacks?!
Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Little Loki easily slaughtered all of them in only a few breaths before those twenty or so royal guards and soldiers could react!
Those killed royal guards and soldiers turned into a group of white light and dispersed into nothingness without leaving any trace, so no one could use their corpse to trace it back to Tang Li Xue.
It could be said this condition alone had already helped Tang Li Xue and the others a lot in any treasure game since the other ‘NPC’ could not use the vanishing corpse to track them.
Tang Li Xue condensed a pair of [Sun Dragon Claws] and controlled them to burn the entire Imperial Palace!
“With this, the tense but orderly situation will inevitably explode and become a lot more chaotic! It will also force them to make a decision while giving me some opening to exploit.” Tang Li Xue muttered with a cold expression.
Tang Li Xue dispersed her [Sun Dragon Claws], hastily put Little Loki and Yaya back into her System’s pet space, used [Swap] skill to exchange location with her perfect copy, and then un-summoned her perfect copy.
With that, no matter how smart the people who investigated it, they would never find any clue!
