Chapter 274 Prince Yun's eyes were blinded?

"Your Highness, is that you?"

Duan Rongshi looked down at her, still offering no answer, but simply said indifferently when he met her gaze, "Not too stupid."

Li Qingluo: Could this be considered a compliment from him?

However, she had already quickly grasped the general idea.

Therefore, King Su must have anticipated this step long ago.

He should have known earlier that something about madness would appear at the Lisboa Casino today, which is why he came here.

However, because he brought me along, he knew some of the secrets of the Blood Gu worms and Zaina beforehand; otherwise, he might have actually fallen into the trap set for him by the Lisboa Casino.

Even if Prince Su knew it was a trap, given his style of doing things, he would definitely slaughter a large number of people to gain momentum.

But what are the chances of winning?

Perhaps even he himself wasn't entirely sure.

But now he has clearly changed his strategy.

Prince Su did not appear at the auction, seemingly uninterested in the blood worm.

Therefore, the Prince of Jin eventually dismissed the blood worm.

But how could the Lotus Sect really allow this thing to fall into the hands of the royal family?

Regardless of whether it is a treasure or not, it must be a very important bargaining chip or weapon in the hands of the Lotus Sect Leader.

Since they failed to attract the desired person and achieve the desired result, the Lotus Sect now has to intercept this thing halfway.

More importantly, what if Prince Su had also set up an ambush along the way?

After all, Prince Su was a cunning and ruthless man, whom the Lotus Sect had always regarded as a mortal enemy and never dared to be negligent.

However, they couldn't act too openly, so they used the names of the Lotus Sect and 'King Su' to carry out their actions.

Even if they steal it from Prince Su, when Prince Yun and Prince Jin return to Jinling, they will only cause trouble at Prince Su's residence, and it will have nothing to do with their casino.

Therefore, the real Lotus Cult Leader, who is also the owner of the Lisboa Casino, is also hiding in the shadows, watching everything.

She thought victory was assured, but little did she know that the oriole was lurking behind.

Because today, Prince Su will not easily grant the wishes of their Lotus Sect.

Since someone wants to impersonate him, why can't he impersonate the Lotus Cult Master as well?

It was so grand and extravagant that it surpassed even the real Lotus Sect Leader!

This angered the real Lotus Sect Master so much that he was forced to reveal himself.

Li Qinglu understood immediately and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Your Highness, you are truly remarkable."

Li Qing praised him upon landing, earning a deep look from Duan Rongshi.

"What did you say?"

He whispered as if trying to confirm again, but at that moment, the situation ahead changed once more.

Then, a figure that Li Qingluo recognized very well walked out from behind. It was Zheng Lingzhou.

Zheng Lingzhou strode toward the woman in the white cloak, his brows furrowed and his face filled with disbelief.

"What did you say? You're the cult leader?"

It turns out that Zheng Lingzhou had been lying in wait behind the scenes with the gambling den's young owner.

The original plan was to intercept and kill Prince Su's men if necessary, but unexpectedly, two sect leaders appeared!

He was especially surprised when the young master suddenly jumped out and revealed his identity!

He always knew that the Lisboa Casino was their Lotus Sect's territory, but he never paid any attention to this little boss!

Although this person is a guardian deity of wealth, he has a very low presence in the sect because he always appears and disappears mysteriously and rarely participates in sect affairs!

So, he... no, she was actually the cult leader!?

Zheng Lingzhou felt a surge of anger at being played, yet he also knew clearly in his heart that the person in front of him was definitely the real leader!

The Lotus Sect Leader looked at Zheng Lingzhou with a cold expression: "How dare you! Step back now! Do you think you can question my identity?!"

"This is my token of authority. She—is the one impersonating me!"

As the Lotus Master spoke, he pulled out a lotus-shaped plaque from his robes. The plaque was entirely pinkish-white, as exquisite as a real lotus flower, and there was no other one like it in the world.

Zheng Lingzhou immediately knelt down and acknowledged his master: "Your subordinate Zheng Lingzhou pays respects to the Master!"

With Zheng Xiangzhu's confirmed identity, no one in the Lotus Sect dared to question it anymore.

They all turned their heads and knelt down to pay their respects once more.

"Your subordinates greet the Master—"

The ethereal, fake body remained calm upon seeing this, instead giving a strange, smirking smile.

"When did I say that I was the leader of the Lotus Sect?"

This statement caused an uproar among the crowd.

Because they then realized that this fake Lotus Cult Leader hadn't said a single word from beginning to end!

He never explicitly declared that she was the leader of the Lotus Sect!

It was the Lotus followers who, upon seeing her appearance, immediately recognized her as a fake.

And only now did they realize that the fake cult leader was actually a man in disguise!

The Lotus followers present were instantly enraged.

Seeing this, what else could the Lotus Sect Leader not understand?

She regained full consciousness.

"Damn it, you tricked me—!?"

"You deliberately forced me to reveal myself and expose everything about my Lotus Sect today—"

"Guards, seize him immediately and execute him on the spot!"

The fake cult leader calmly drew his sword from his waist: "Then let's see if you have the ability!"

After she finished speaking, the other eight fairies also drew their weapons and immediately went to meet the attack.

The scene instantly erupted into another fierce battle.

The fake cult leader seemed quite skilled, and even managed to shout at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted everyone to hear: "Did everyone see that today? It turns out that the young owner of the Lisboa Casino in Qingsong Town, who has amassed a fortune, is none other than the traitorous criminal wanted by the imperial court—the Lotus Cult Leader!"

"The world does not know whether the Lotus Sect Leader is male or female, but only that he is mysterious and unpredictable, and no one has ever seen his true face."

"But in the end, she was nothing more than a woman who manipulated the world."

"Today, I, the hero who acts on behalf of Heaven, will surely make you reveal your true form!"

Li Qingluo's heart pounded wildly as she heard the voice. "It's Zhui Yu!?"

The person impersonating the Lotus Cult Leader is undoubtedly Zhui Yu!

Now, his moves are crude and brute, and there is no trace of the ethereal beauty he had just displayed.

Moreover, the voice was exactly the same as Zhuiyu's, and Li Qingluo finally understood what Zhuiyu was sent out by Duan Rongshi to do.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Duan Rongshi turned to look at Leng Dian behind him and said, "Go, surround them!"

Leng Dian immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"

Once Leng Dian had disappeared in the blink of an eye, Duan Rongshi grabbed Li Qingluo's wrist and said, "Come on, I'll take you to join in the fun!"

Upon hearing that his identity had been completely exposed, the Lotus Sect Leader was furious and waved his hand, shouting, "All followers, listen to my command! Today, the court is enjoying all the riches and honors, and the corrupt Prince Yun and Prince Jin, who prey on the people, are both here. This is a golden opportunity. Since they have come to us, let's give the court a good thrashing today!"

"All of them, take them all down for me!"

"No one is allowed to leave this place alive, and my identity must not be revealed to anyone who enters Jinling City."

"I want them all to die without a burial place—!"

All the Lotus Cult members were instantly aroused with rebellious fervor and began to fight desperately against Prince Yun, Prince Jin, and Zhui Yu and the others.

Prince Yun, who had been sticking close to Prince Jin, was now so frightened that his face turned completely pale.

"Guards! Guards! Block it up immediately! Block it up for me!"

The brief respite allowed the guards from the Prince Yun's and Prince Jin's residences, who had already been beaten and ridiculed, to stand up again and surround them once more.

However, before they could catch their breath, the guards had to charge out again.

"Damn Lotus Cult, you madmen and traitors, how dare you assassinate a prince! If you dare to harm me even a little today, your entire Lotus Cult will not be enough to pay with your lives!"

Upon hearing these arrogant words, Zheng Lingzhou sneered and threw the large knife in his hand.

With a 'whoosh', the broadsword cleaved open half of the carriage window.

Prince Yun screamed in terror, clutching his head. If Prince Jin hadn't intervened quickly and pulled him away from danger, he would have been killed by that knife.

The Prince of Jin roared angrily, "Fourth Prince, shut up! If you keep yelling and look for death, I will no longer care about you!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Yun was so angry that he jumped up and down: "How dare you yell at me? It's all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on bringing me to this so-called Lisboa Casino today, saying you wanted to personally buy me some nice things, would I have encountered this situation?"

"We're about to lose our lives, so let's see how you plan to get me out of here!"

Prince Jin's face darkened: "Did I ask you to buy that giant worm? It's clear you were greedy and wanted to borrow my money to present that giant worm to Father and Mother to impress them. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten yourself into this mess!"

After speaking, the Prince of Jin pushed the Prince of Yun aside and then drew a knife from a guard himself.

"I am the third prince of the Great Liang Dynasty, the son of my father, and a member of the imperial family!"

"Therefore, I will never allow myself to surrender today and become a prisoner of the Lotus Sect Master to establish his authority!"

"What does it matter if I die in battle?"

After he finished speaking with overwhelming arrogance, he actually took his knife and charged out.

Prince Yun was so frightened that he couldn't move at all.

"He...he's gone mad..."

"I...I can't go crazy with him."

"I will return alive."

"My elder brother is the deposed crown prince, and my mother only has me as her hope. I cannot afford to have anything happen to me..."

"You, you should just fight for me, kill the enemy for me—"

Before Prince Yun could finish speaking, a large sword came flying from the side.

"Go to hell!"

A Lotus Sect follower broke through the encirclement and charged in.

Although Prince Yun's guards rushed forward in time to block the attack with their swords, the blades still mercilessly grazed Prince Yun's face.

Instantly, blood splattered.

He screamed and fell off the deck of the carriage.

Then, Prince Yun covered his eyes and cried out in pain, "Someone, please save me! Save my eyes! Ah!!"

It turned out that the tip of the knife had cut Prince Yun's left eye, and now it was covered in blood, instantly smearing half of his face with blood.

However, at this moment, no one cared about his life or death.

Another large sword came crashing down on him, killing the guards beside Prince Yun. Prince Yun, seeing this with one eye, was so horrified that he could only scramble under the carriage in a panic...
