Chapter 325
face."What he cared about wasn't this sword itself, but rather Chu Xinyue who could casually draw out such a fine blade.I reckon Chu Xin Yue's family background must be extraordinary. If I could obta...The Empress, accompanied by her retinue, attempted to forcefully break through the blockade set up by the Crown Prince. She was determined to see the Emperor. Both sides were poised for battle, swords drawn, when suddenly, the Emperor's voice rang out from within the chamber.
The prince finally let out a sigh of relief.
It seems that Yunhao has succeeded!
The prince stepped aside and said, "I was not authorized by my father to stop you earlier. Once this storm has passed, I will personally apologize to you!"
The Queen let out a cold snort, her face as cold as ice, then entered the room.
"Your Majesty!"
Upon entering the room, the Empress saw the Emperor struggling to sit up, his face etched with tension and worry.
The emperor let out a sigh, a bitter expression appearing on his pale face. "Your Majesty needn't worry," he said. "I'm fine, it's just that the backlash from the power surge has weakened me. With ten or eight days of rest, I should be able to recover."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. This concubine will work with the Crown Prince and Master Yuan to organize the palace forces and resist the rebel troops. Once Your Majesty recovers and regains control, we shall surely quell this storm!"
The emperor hummed in response, then said, "Your Majesty, please retire first. I need to rest properly."
Then, this concubine will take her leave.
After the Empress left.
Inside, a layer of light flickered. Yun Hao's figure, passing through the radiance, reappeared before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the power of the soul-binding curses that entangled your spirit sea has been severed, but remnants remain. It should take another hour for them to be completely eradicated," Yun Hao said.
“An hour”
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Time's up!"
………
"Grandpa!"
On the other side, Lin Beiguang once again found the second prince.
The Second Prince immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandfather, you have lost 30% of your soul and power, the backlash is not light. Now that we are not in a hurry to attack the palace, why don't you go to rest and recuperate first I can handle things here."
Lin Beiguang: "It's only a loss of 30% of my soul and strength. Through the demon clan's techniques, I've already recovered by devouring over ten cultivators at the Golden Core stage. My body is fine now."
The situation has changed, I received news that your father emperor's condition is indeed very bad, but he should be able to recover in ten days or half a month at most.
Prior to this, I suspected that their passivity and retreat within the palace stemmed from a scheme devised by your father emperor and Yuan Chunqing.
Now it seems like this is just their struggle with no other choice.
Immediately gather the members of the Bloodfire Demon Sect, Bloodscythe Hall, Flame Valley, Azure Star Academy, and the Divine Army. Also summon Prince Samos of the Demonic Race. Make them drop everything else and focus all their efforts on attacking the palace. Absolutely do not give the enemy any time to breathe. Use the most ruthless methods possible to win a swift and decisive victory and capture the palace!
The second prince's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he said, "Yes!"
Soon, the news reached the ears of Prince Sammo, the demon prince.
Satsuma let out a cold snort and said, "Go back and tell that old man Lin Beiguang, this king is still recovering from his injuries. If they want to attack the palace, let them go ahead. This king has no time for that!"
He was filled with anger and resentment.
Yesterday's assassination, Yuan Chunqing and the emperor of the Qingfeng Dynasty, both turned out to be in the Dongtian Realm.
If he hadn't decisively fled, and hesitated for even a moment, he would have most likely died there.
Even if the Emperor and Yuan Chunqing hid as deeply as possible, he didn't believe that Old Fox Lin Beiguang would be completely unaware. But strangely enough, Lin Beiguang hadn't revealed a single word to him.
It was clear that they were using him as a battering ram, treating him as a tool to probe the enemy's strength. They leveraged his identity as a powerful Demon race expert from the Heavenly Cave Realm to create panic and chaos in the imperial city, while simultaneously draining his power.
At the thought of this, Prince Sa Mo of the demon clan wished he could kill that old geezer Lin Bei Guang!
Lin Beiguang is asking him to attack the palace now He wouldn't do that!
The person who was speaking has left.
"Come in!" said Satomo, waving his hand.
Suddenly, a group of demons appeared before Samos and knelt on the ground.
"When Lin Beiguang goes to attack the palace, we'll make our move too. We'll drink as much of the human race's blood as we want! We'll devour as many human souls as we desire! We'll kill as many as we please!"
This is the price he Lin Beiguang pays for plotting against this king and angering him!
Not long after.
The Nine Dragons Sky-Shocking Array, which covered the entire imperial city, suddenly stopped attacking everywhere else. Its ferocious power was concentrated entirely above the palace.
Blazing beams of terror shot out from the Kowloon Heavenly Array, striking the palace-protecting array and causing it to violently shake!
At this moment, everyone in the imperial city knew that the rebellious second prince was about to launch the final decisive battle.
Although.
There is no right or wrong in a struggle for the throne.
But, the Second Prince and his men, they relied on the power of the Blood Slaughter Hall, the power of the Bloodfire Demon Sect, and even the power of the demon race!
And... they even schemed against everyone's beloved genius, pride, and hero Yun Hao!
The grand imperial talent competition had just begun, and they took Yun Hao away to who knows where. His life or death remains unknown!
They are all worried that if the second prince succeeds in usurping the throne, then in the future, the Bloodfire Demon Cult, the Bloodsha Clan, and even the demon race will openly run amok within the Qingfeng Imperial Dynasty
Therefore, they all hope for the Second Prince's failure!
But... they are just ordinary people. Their power is nothing compared to those armies and cultivators, they aren't even as good as ants, there's nothing they can do.
Now, the situation is that the usurping second prince has gained an almost overwhelming advantage...
Who else could possibly stop the Second Prince in his tracks
Wow!
Hope is slim!
Almost at the same time that Lin Beiguang led his army to fiercely attack the palace, a surging demonic energy was surging through every street within the imperial city.
"Hahaha!"
"Fresh blood and souls, so many delicious morsels to feast upon! Kill!"
"Caw caw caw!"
A horde of demon creatures, madly charging out, the imperial city's forces were all deployed at the palace for the final battle, no one could stop their onslaught!
They slaughtered wantonly.
Devouring the blood and souls of mankind.
Where they tread, it is like a hell on earth!
Above the palace.
Lin Beiguang, Murong Botao, the dean of Cangxing General Hospital, the master of Huoyan Valley, the leader of Xuesha Hall, the emissary of the Blood Fire Demon Cult from the ancient Xia Kingdom, stood tall in the sky.
Lin Beiguang is a powerful cultivator at the Dongtian realm, and Murong Botao's cultivation level has also stepped into the Dongtian realm with one foot. The rest are all at the peak of the Guiyi realm!
Behind them, powerful figures from all sides, armies, and terrifying battle intent surged into the sky!
Yuan Chunqing suddenly shot out from the imperial palace formation. Immediately after, Wei Gonggong, Dongfang Bai Chuan, Qin Xiao, Han Qianshan and others also flew out together and stood behind Yuan Chunqing.
"Yuan Chunqing, admit defeat. You have no chance of turning the tables."
Lin Beiguang burst into laughter and said, "You are the most outstanding disciple among all my students. To be honest, if I were to kill you with my own hands, as a master, I would feel quite heartbroken! Hahaha!"
Yuan Chunqing, with a white beard and fluttering robes despite the stillness of the air, held his whisk aloft. "Lin Beiguang," he declared, "You wield the power of so many vile scoundrels. Even if you succeed... do you think the people of the Qingfeng Dynasty will approve"
"When that time comes, they will have grown fat and complacent. These scoundrels will surely cause chaos and unrest in the Qifeng Dynasty, leading to hardship for the people. At that point, you will be the thousand-year villains of the Qifeng Dynasty!"
Lin Beiguang waved his hand dismissively. "The common people are nothing but fools and ants. Dealing with them is too simple. How I do it doesn't concern you."
Yuan Chunqing, cease pointless resistance. If you surrender willingly, you shall remain the Imperial Master of Qingfeng Dynasty. However, if you persist in your folly, then... today shall be your final day!
"Kill!"
Just then.
A roar of anger rang out.
A blade of light slashed through the air, its momentum domineering.
The first to draw their sword was Dong Fang Bai Chuan, his blade energy piercing through the air.
"Kage!"
Han Qian Shan let out a light shout, his spear moving, in an instant, even though the surrounding noise was deafening, wherever the flying spears passed, everything fell silent!
In an instant, the great war erupted completely!
Lin Bei's figure flashed, rushing to an empty area. With a grasp of his hand, he tore through space.
"Boom!"
Having entered a spatial rift to carry out his assassination plan, Yuan Chunqing was forced out. He whipped his duster, clashing with Lin Beiguang's palm strike, which unleashed a violent storm.
"Yuan Chunqing, you think you're the only one who can do this"
Lin Beiguang sneered, his figure also tearing apart space and disappearing.
Yuan Chunqing's whisk, in his hand, struck behind Han Qianshan, just intercepting Lin Beiguang who was about to assassinate him!
This is the terrifying aspect of a strong Cultivator from the Cave Heaven Realm.
They can tear space at will, hiding within spatial fissures. Against the Unity Realm, they can approach with no trace and strike fatally in an instant!
It was precisely because of this reason that Lin Beiguang had hesitated before, not launching a full-scale attack directly. However, after learning that the emperor in the Cave Heaven Realm was truly incapacitated temporarily, he had no more reservations!
"Yuan Chunqing, this is just the beginning. As your teacher, I'll give you another lesson today, hahaha!"
Lin Bei laughed maniacally.
The next moment, the power of the Nine Dragons Sky-Shattering Formation cascaded down in wave after wave of attacks, assisting Lin Beiguang and Murong Botao in confronting Yuan Chunqing and the others guarding the palace.
Originally, the top forces of both sides clashed, and they were still able to fight to a stalemate.
With the eruption of the Kowloon Heavenly Array, Yuan Chunqing's side instantly fell into a huge disadvantage!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Yuan Beiguang's large army, though mixed, consisted entirely of elites with powerful combat capabilities and abundant battle experience. They didn't waste any time, cooperating with the power of the Nine Dragons Sky-Shaking Formation, madly charging towards the Imperial Guard and Huolongwei protecting the palace.
Inside the palace.
"Father!"
The Crown Prince knelt before the Emperor and said, "My son is incompetent and unable to control the situation... Please instruct your son... what should be done"
The emperor, who had been meditating in seclusion according to Yun Hao's instructions, was gradually eradicating the power of the witch curse from his sea of consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Just do your best, and leave the rest to...Yun Hao!"
"Yun Hao By the way, Father Emperor, Yun Hao disappeared after tending to your wounds. Where has he gone" It was only then that the Crown Prince remembered this crucial matter.
"He alone shouldered the burden of saving the Qingfeng Dynasty, Your Highness. Go now, and give it your all. This will be a true test for you!"
………
Chu Mansion, surrounded by a heavily guarded army.
Here lies the most crucial foundation for the Second Prince's rebellion!
As long as the Nine Dragons Sky-Shocking Formation by Chu Kong is in place, then everything within the Imperial City will be under the Second Prince's control.
Besides the strict military guard, the power of the Nine Dragons Sky-Shaking Formation also protected this place.
It can be said that the defenses of the Chu residence were even stronger than those of the imperial palace!
Now.
A young boy in white, wielding a long sword, swooped down from the sky!again and voiced the biggest question in his heart."Master Danxin, you gave me the Essence of Life, yet you test me with alchemy... Why is that"He has never figured this problem out.If Danxinzi wanted...
