Wei Maozhen heard their voices, spears, swords, and armor clashing, and the cries of the Imperial Guards rose and fell.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

"Your Majesty, I thank you again!" Lin Mo mocked again. "You know how to play the game, you really know how to play it. It is under your relentless pressure that I have become who I am today."

It's a pity you were too hasty, so eager to kill the late emperor's former officials. Otherwise, I would never have been able to shake off this title of butcher.

But now, the moment Wei Maozhen ordered the killing of court officials, the tide of public opinion turned.

The opponent clearly only had fifteen people (plus Lin Mo and He Xiao), while our side had arranged a full eight hundred Imperial Guards.

However, the situation was completely one-sided, and it was nothing short of a horrific massacre.

The Nightmare Cavalry were extremely agile; they rushed to the Imperial Guards at lightning speed, rendering the arrows ineffective.

However, what made the Imperial Guards' scalp tingle was that their opponents were so agile that the Imperial Guards' longswords could not even reach within three feet.

The Nightmare Cavalry's attacks were extremely vicious and unpredictable, like the forked tongues of a venomous snake extending and retracting, feigning attacks on the lower body while actually targeting the upper body, and every strike was devastating.

The Imperial Guards' steel armor seemed as fragile as paper to the Nightmare Cavalry. Every blow could pierce through their heavy armor.

Under the attack of the Nightmare Cavalry, in no time, the Imperial Guards, who numbered hundreds of times their number, completely collapsed, like porcelain being struck by an iron hammer.

"They are not human, they are demons, demon generals!" Wei Maozhen was on the verge of a mental breakdown. "How can a human fight against demons? How can a mortal body defeat demons?"

At this moment, Ling Tiande's voice pierced her ears, "Your Majesty, run! As long as you're alive, you can always fight again! You still have a million-strong army; who knows when they might come back!"

After saying that, Ling Tiande turned and ran.

This shout seemed to awaken Wei Maozhen: "That's right, I haven't lost yet, I still have a million soldiers!"

Having arrived here, she immediately turned around and fled outside without regard for anything else.

Few Imperial Guards remained by their side, but duty called upon them to guard the imperial city. They were true men, using their own flesh and blood to shield the Nightmare Cavalry, creating a path paved with blood and flesh.

"Lord He, don't let that bitch get away!" Lin Mo shouted.

"Understood!" After splitting the head of a Imperial Guard in front of him, He Xiao hurriedly chased after him.

Wei Maozhen fled the hall. The sky was covered with dark clouds. Although the rain had stopped, it wouldn't last long.

She fled for her life, the cold wind whipping against her face, but she was oblivious, stumbling forward, only feeling difficulty breathing.

Soon after, more and more Imperial Guards arrived with torches, but Wei Maozhen felt as if half a night had passed.

"Imperial Guards, listen to my command! The traitor Lin Mo attempted to assassinate me. Kill him and all his cronies!" Wei Maozhen shouted as he ran.

The dark clouds were temporarily dispersed, the moon appeared, and brought color back to the world.

Under the moonlight, the Imperial Guards of the Great Xia Dynasty held up their shadowy spears, the tips of thousands of spears gleaming with a cold golden light, while the boundless fluttering battle flags displayed a noble golden hue.

All the elite soldiers in the capital were mobilized.

Seeing this, He Xiao had no choice but to give up the pursuit and return to the banquet hall.

Upon entering the hall, Lin Mo's thirteen Nightmare Cavalry were clearing the battlefield, killing the dying Imperial Guards one by one.

Lin Mo remained seated, his blood-stained longsword laid across his knees, waiting quietly.

"Lord He, have you caught the person yet?" he asked upon seeing He Xiao arrive.

"She got away!" He Xiao frowned.

"Haha, it's alright, Lord He, you don't need to blame yourself!" Lin Mo laughed.

"Ah?" He Xiao asked in surprise, "Your Highness, what are you doing..."

"Your Highness, the King of Shu," Sun Mian asked, equally puzzled, "His Majesty has three thousand Imperial Guards in the palace!!!"

What Sun Mian wanted to say was, if Wei Maozhen escapes, how will you resist the three thousand Imperial Guards?

"Haven't we already killed over six hundred?" Lin Mo smiled calmly.

“But you’re facing more than three thousand Imperial Guards!” He Xiao added. “You need to act quickly, or you’ll just be giving Wei Maozhen more time to prepare.”

If we wait until tomorrow, Wei Maozhen can raise his arm and call to arms, and hundreds of thousands of troops will come to the capital to defend the emperor! But then it will probably be too late…”

"So, what do you suggest I do?"

He Xiao turned to look at Sun Mian, lowered his voice, and said urgently in a low voice, "I will immediately give the order to seize and arrest Wei Maozhen's children."

Once we have Wei Maozhen's child, she will not dare to act rashly.

Lin Mo scrutinized him carefully. "It is indeed a good idea, but it doesn't have to be this complicated!"

"Huh?" He Xiao was shocked.

"Don't worry, everything is under control!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

As he spoke, Lin Mo stood up and walked towards Sun Mian. "Future father-in-law, this is the Venerable Master of Xuanhua Palace whom I mentioned to you: He Xiao." He pointed at He Xiao and said.

“These thirteen aren’t some demon generals from the underworld,” Lin Mo said in a serious tone, “They are all disciples of Xuanhua Palace assigned by Lord He to protect me.”

Is that so, Venerable Lord He?

After saying that, he winked at He Xiao, who was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what he meant.

"Ah, yes, they are all disciples of my Xuanhua Palace."

“A disciple of Xuanhua Palace…” Sun Mian was skeptical.

If it is the renowned Xuanhua Palace on this continent, then everything makes sense.

Why did he suddenly appear in the palace, and why does he possess such ridiculously strong skills?

But here's the question: "Your Highness, when did you meet the disciples of Xuanhua Palace and this Venerable Master He?"
