Emperor Sikong's expression changed drastically.

Jun Tianlan was perfectly fine in the prison, so how could he have been kidnapped?

"Your Majesty, I wonder when I will be able to see my grandfather again?" Jun Liuyue asked coldly, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"Your Excellency is probably too tired, and is resting in the side hall right now," Emperor Sikong said, trying to remain calm.

“In that case, I’ll wait here for Grandpa.” Jun Liuyue smiled slightly.

Emperor Sikong choked.

Back in the Golden Palace.

"A bunch of useless trash! They can't even keep an eye on a grown adult!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The guards knelt on the ground, bearing the emperor's wrath.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, Grand Tutor Ning walked in and saw the agitated Emperor Sikong. He had learned the whole story on his way here.

"You shouldn't have touched Jun Tianlan," Grand Tutor Ning said in a deep voice.

"Grand Tutor, I had no choice but to do this! Jun Tianlan is delaying in relinquishing military power; am I not raising a tiger to cause future trouble?"

Emperor Sikong was very troubled.

"Now that little girl from the Jun family has led troops to surround the palace. On the surface, it's for the safety of the people, but in reality, she's trying to blackmail me!"

Emperor Sikong sneered, "I've lived most of my life, and I never thought I'd be threatened by a sixteen-year-old girl."

"Now, the only option is to hand over Jun Tianlan and force her to withdraw her troops."

Even though Grand Tutor Ning was a Spirit Saint, he did not want to confront Jun Liuyue.

In the Canglan Continent, summoned beasts are more respected than beast spirit masters, and it is believed that today's events will soon reach the Divine Soul Hall.

Those old fogies from the Divine Soul Hall should come out and snatch people away!

If Jun Liuyue cannot be killed before the people from the Divine Soul Palace arrive, then all of this is meaningless.

Even Grand Tutor Ning was not confident that he could kill Jun Liuyue.

Seeing that even Grand Tutor Ning looked troubled, Emperor Sikong knew that he had met his match this time.

"We must find Jun Tianlan before sunset," Emperor Sikong said in a deep voice.

What does it mean to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot?

That's it!

"His Majesty."

A woman's voice rang out from outside the door, and then Liu Ruyan walked in, wearing a veil that covered half of her face.

"Miss Ruyan?" Emperor Sikong frowned. If it weren't for Liu Ruyan's guarantee, he wouldn't have taken action against the Jun family so quickly.

Unexpectedly, Old Master Qiu was seriously injured by the guard beside Jun Liuyue.

"Dealing with the Xuanwu Army is easy, isn't it?"

Liu Ruyan said with a smile, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Why do you say that, Miss Ruyan?"

"Your Majesty, don't forget, I am the eldest daughter of the Alchemy Sect. The Alchemy Sect is not only skilled in alchemy, but also in poisons." Liu Ruyan took out an exquisite porcelain bottle. "The contents of this bottle are called Soul-Stealing Powder. Anyone who smells this will lose their mind and turn on each other! At that time, Your Majesty will be able to eliminate the Xuanwu Army with ease! We can also pin a charge of treason on the Jun family."

"There's such a thing?" Emperor Sikong stood up, his interest piqued.

Grand Tutor Ning: "I have also heard of this thing. It can indeed make people lose their minds and kill each other, but..."

Grand Tutor Ning hesitated, then looked at Emperor Sikong: "This thing will surely cost someone their life."

Even after the effects of the drug wear off, most people who have taken the "Soul-Stealing Powder" will become mentally confused.

"If they can't be used by me, what use are they?"

Emperor Sikong snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Ruyan said with a smile, "However, I have one condition."

"Please speak frankly, Miss Ruyan."

"I want Jun Liuyue, alive."

*

Night fell.

Jun Tianlan had not yet appeared, and Jun Liuyue's expression darkened slightly. "It seems that Grandpa is in danger."

With such a commotion outside, how could the old man still be resting? Emperor Sikong could only use such words to fool children.

Jun Liuyue summoned the Fuxi Qin, and with a clang, the piercing sound was particularly abrupt in the silent night sky.

The moment the imprisoned beasts in the arena heard the music, they instantly became restless.

They broke free from the cage.

In an instant, the monsters wreaked havoc and caused destruction in the palace.

The arena was razed to the ground, and Liuyue slowly put away her Fuxi Qin.

This commotion brought the palace back into liveliness.

Just now, Jun Liuyue had Longzhen distribute the Spirit Gathering Elixir. The Spirit Gathering Elixir can not only assist in cultivation, but also restore one's energy and spirit in a short time.

The wounded Xuanwu soldiers were also given medicinal pills.

These pills were all scavenged from secret realms, but their effects are miraculous.

The soldiers who took the elixir were surprised to find that their smaller wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Even those who suffered severe symptoms experienced relief.

The Imperial Guards in the palace were not so lucky; the monsters in the arena ravaged the area, and most of them were killed or wounded.

"Such good pills, and the young lady didn't even blink before letting us use them."

"yes!"

"This is a pill! I thought it was just an ordinary pill. I was stunned after I took it."

"My God, me too! If I had known it was a high-grade pill, I wouldn't have eaten it. This one... is worth millions!"

"Hiss, can you smell something strange?"

Several soldiers gathered together, and a strange smell wafted from somewhere.

Not only did he smell it, but the other soldiers smelled it too.

The first soldier to smell the odor swayed and curled up on the ground in pain.

"His eyes! His eyes are red!"

"ah!"

The soldier stood up, his body contorted, and then went berserk, biting at those around him.

Fortunately, they dodged quickly.

The commotion here quickly caught the attention of Longzhen.

However, when he arrived, many soldiers had developed the same symptoms and were fighting each other.

"Something's wrong." Long Zhen sensed something was amiss and also smelled that odor.

He staggered backward.

His body gradually became out of control, but his strong willpower sustained him as he walked towards Liuyue.

Thump! Long Zhen knelt on the ground.

"Miss."

Liu Yue looked down and saw Long Zhen curled up on the ground in pain.
