...

Red Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Yu looked at his adoptive father, Luo Qingyang, who was being carried back and was still unconscious. He was so angry that his face turned ashen and his fists clenched tightly.

He didn't know how lively Qianjintai was because he didn't attend the banquet.

However, all the events that happened at Qianjintai, big and small, reached his ears.

Jinxuan is dead. One of his most trusted supporters is dead.

The father was also injured, wounded by a sword and further injured by anger.

The news spread like wildfire, and the entire city of Tianqi was abuzz with talk of the duel on the Thousand Gold Platform.

Laughing at Jin Xuan for overestimating herself, and at Luo Qingyang for being unworthy of his reputation, unable to even defeat a newly promoted sword immortal, it made one so angry that they fainted.

Xiao Yu felt a pain in his face, as if he had been slapped.

It wasn't just Lin Bufan who was slapping him in the face; everyone in Tianqi City was slapping him in the face.

He vowed to fight back, starting with Lin Bufan, to reclaim his dignity as the Crimson King.

At this time, someone came to visit Luo Qingyang at the Red King's residence; it was his mother, Consort Xuan.

"How is your father-in-law?"

Consort Xuan was very anxious as soon as she arrived.

Xiao Yu said expressionlessly, "He's not dead yet. You'll see if you don't believe me."

Consort Xuan hurriedly checked Luo Qingyang's injuries and found that he was indeed not going to die, but his injuries were just a bit serious.

Please have the imperial physician come and take a look, prepare some medicine for him to take, and he should wake up in a few days.

“Father is fine, but I am. I’m feeling very upset and want to go to the White Prince’s residence.”

Xiao Yu summoned the steward and ordered him to invite the General of Luo City over, claiming that he would massacre the Bai Prince's Mansion.

The steward immediately rushed to call for help, while Consort Xuan was terrified and completely at a loss.

“Son, what are you doing? It doesn’t matter if you’re secretly fighting or competing with the White King, but openly killing someone is a serious crime.”

“Mother, I am not plotting a rebellion, but serving the emperor and clearing away corrupt officials. Father has been angered by Lin Bufan twice and has long harbored murderous intentions towards him. My actions will surely receive the support of Father, the Four Eunuchs, and the Grand Tutor.”

"But your father is unconscious, and you made the decision on your own..."

“I cannot swallow this insult. I will act first and report later. Even if I accidentally kill a blind prince who is colluding with rebels, I believe my father will be grateful to me when he wakes up.”

"Yu'er, don't be impulsive, think it over again?"

"My mind is made up; speed is of the essence in war."

Xiao Yu angrily shook his sleeves and walked out of the Red Prince's Mansion.

Outside, as expected, speed was of the essence in war. The General of Luocheng, with hundreds of elite troops, stood in perfect formation awaiting his orders.

"Everyone's here."

Xiao Yu's lips curled into a smug smile. "General, whether we can succeed depends on you."

The general of Luocheng was flattered and clasped his hands, saying, "I would gladly die for the Red King."

"Don't worry, when I ascend the throne one day, you will be rewarded handsomely. Now, let's head to the White Prince's Mansion."

Tonight, the sky is pitch black and the wind is strong, perfect for closing your eyes.

Some people close their eyes to sleep, like Lin Bufan and Sikong Qianluo, who are fast asleep after drinking too much.

Some people die with their eyes closed, like the steward of the White Prince's Mansion who opened the wrong door and was stabbed to death by Xiao Yu with a single sword.

The gates of the White King's Mansion were opened, and Xiao Yu and General Luo's troops rushed in like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.

Xiao Yu's hands were stained with blood, and he became wild and unrestrained, gradually turning into a madman and bloodthirsty man. With bloodshot eyes, he shouted, "Close the door! Leave no one alive!"

"Yes, Red King."

The general of Luocheng raised his sword and shouted, "Don't let any of them escape! Kill whoever you see!"

The soldiers shouted, "General is wise! Long live the Red King!"

Immediately afterwards, they went on a killing and arson rampage in the White Prince's Mansion.

In no time, the White Prince's Mansion was engulfed in flames, filled with screams and cries for help; the scene was horrific.

Lin Bufan was woken up by the noise.

Sikong Qianluo was also woken up by the noise.

"Brother Lin, it seems something big has happened outside?"

"I heard sounds of murder and arson; the noise was quite loud."

"I'll go take a look."

Sikong Qianluo rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up from beside Lin Bufan.

She then realized that she had been sleeping very close to Lin Bufan.

Unconsciously, her cheeks flushed again, and she was too shy to look at Lin Bufan.

"I...I'll go out first and see what's going on?"

Embarrassed, she rolled over off Lin Bufan.

He climbed off the bed, picked up his silver spear, and ran outside.

Lin Bufan watched her departing figure, smiled, and got off the bed.

They strolled outside leisurely, not in a hurry at all.

He's not in a hurry, but the people outside are getting anxious.

The soldiers of the White King's Palace and the men of the Luo City General were fighting fiercely. The White King, who was blind, was extremely anxious from behind.

He never imagined that his seventh brother would be so impatient and impulsive as to lead troops into his White Prince's Mansion.

"Seventh brother, you broke in and killed my men. Aren't you afraid that Father will punish you when he wakes up?"

"Let's talk about it when Father wakes up. Who told you to collude with traitors and anger Father? I'm dealing with you on Father's behalf."

Xiao Yu made threats while fighting against Sikong Qianluo.

It wasn't that he was overestimating himself and provoking Sikong Qianluo, but rather that Sikong Qianluo wanted to capture the leader first.

"You're the daughter of the Gun Immortal, right? I heard you've reached the Earth Realm, but little do you know, I, Xiao Yu, am only half a step into the Heaven Realm."

Xiao Yu unleashed his powerful cultivation, attacking Sikong Qianluo with a ferocious grin.

Unexpectedly, Sikong Qianluo also looked down on him, and her silver spear struck him on the head with a thud, causing him to bleed profusely.

"So what if you're at the half-step Heavenly Realm? Your information is outdated. I'm now at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm."

"You, you're from the Heavenly Realm Nine Heavens?"

Xiao Yu touched the top of his head; it was covered in blood. He immediately roared in fury, "Lord of the Underworld, help me!"

In an instant, a burly, strong, tall and mighty man flew over.

This person's eyes were dark and lifeless, as if he had lost his reason and emotions, a living puppet.

He did whatever Xiao Yu asked him to do.

Let him deal with Sikong Qianluo and kill the White King.

Without saying a word, he swung his fist, as big as a sandbag, and attacked Sikong Qianluo...
