Upon seeing this, the gray-armored guards froze on the spot, about to drop their weapons, when they heard Tuso's voice.
"All of you, charge! Avenge the eldest prince! Think carefully: would you rather be forever branded as a rebel, or join me in establishing a new Tuyuhun? Attack!"
Having said that, he leaped down the steps in an instant, snatched the bow and arrow from the gray-armored guard, quickly drew the bow, and shot it directly at Amulun.
Upon hearing this, the gray-armored guards instantly realized that since they had already followed the eldest prince in doing these things, they would never be able to live a good life again, and who knows what their fate would be.
Since that's the case, let's give it our all today.
Realizing this, the gray-armored guards who were still standing there no longer hesitated, and raised their long swords to fight alongside the black-armored guards.
The gray-armored guards who had been standing in front of the crowd ignored the ordinary people behind them and joined the battle with their long swords.
Amulun was so angry at the sight that he would have collapsed to the ground if someone hadn't been there to support him.
I was worried that there might be a bloodbath here today, and that innocent people would suffer as well.
As Aguzan deflected the arrows flying towards him, he calmly instructed, "Evacuate the civilians, and make sure they are not injured."
Zhari quickly responded and led a small team to disperse the crowd.
Seeing this, Lin Yan'an and Liu'er quickly evacuated the surrounding people.
The group worked methodically and quickly cleared the area under the altar, leaving only the guards who continued fighting.
Seeing this, Tuso was so angry that his face turned pale. He originally wanted to create chaos under the altar, preferably using the people as bait to restrain Amuren and his men, and then he would take the opportunity to kill them.
Unfortunately, the people evacuated so quickly that he had no chance to take advantage of them.
Seeing that the gray-armored guard was at a disadvantage, he made a quick decision and ran towards the horse not far away, intending to escape.
Seeing this, Amulun hurriedly said, "Quick, grab Tuso! He's trying to escape!"
However, at this moment, the black-armored guards around were either too far away from Tuso or were entangled in fighting with the gray-armored guards, and none of them had a chance to stop the person who was about to escape.
Amulun couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Just then, several sharp arrows flew towards Tuso, piercing through his body with three "thuds".
The man who had been trying to escape suddenly lost his life and fell straight off his horse.
A flash of surprise crossed Amulun's eyes as his gaze fell on the spire not far away, from which the arrow seemed to have come.
At this distance, the archer is quite skilled.
The fighting under the altar ended quickly, leaving the ground in a mess, but fortunately the casualties were not too heavy.
None of the ordinary people were implicated, and Aguzan breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Aliji, Tuso, and the gray-armored guards being taken away, he was momentarily dazed, not expecting that he could deal with Aliji so easily today.
If it weren't for Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian's secret help, he would probably have suffered heavy casualties today.
Seeing that he remained silent, Amulun simply nodded at him and said with a smile, "You did a good job this time. Since today is the prayer ceremony and Aliji is now dead, you can continue the ceremony."
As he spoke, he patted Aguzan on the shoulder, without the ulterior motives of before, as if it were a genuine compliment.
Aguzan was taken aback and looked at Amulun with a bewildered expression, as if he hadn't expected him to be so calm.
Seeing this, Amulun just smiled and didn't say anything more, only whispering a few words to the black-armored guard beside him.
Soon, the bloodstains and signs of fighting around the altar were cleaned up.
Aguzan also changed into a robe for prayer and returned to the foot of the altar.
The people who had been evacuated were now standing under the altar again. Although they had just experienced a small-scale battle, they were still very excited.
Because they had witnessed their ancestor manifest himself, and everything that had just happened was an obstruction by their ancestor so that they could choose a better Khan.
Aguzan walked up the steps one by one and slowly stood on the altar.
With a loud "bang," flames suddenly burst into flames on the tall, horn-shaped wooden platforms surrounding the altar.
At the very center, Aguzan stood before the stone statue with his eyes closed, praying.
At that moment, many people wearing bull-headed demon masks appeared behind him, dancing and chanting unintelligible words.
The people below the altar maintained the same posture as Aguzan on the altar, devoutly praying for a peaceful and prosperous future.
Only when those wearing bull-headed demon masks stopped moving did someone pick up the golden bowl inlaid with gemstones in the center and hand it to Aguzan.
Aguzan reached out and took the bowl, then removed a peacock feather from his head, dipped it in the water, and sprinkled it on the people below the altar.
Only after these steps are completed can the prayer ceremony truly be considered over.
The people who were splashed with water from the golden bowl cheered instantly, saying that they would have good luck in the future.
As Aguzan listened to the cheers below the altar, the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time. After today, he would be the next Khan of Tuyuhun, and no one could stop him.
Even Amulun, who was below the altar, clapped as he looked at the people on the altar, and a slight smile seemed to appear on his pale face.
The top of the spire.
Hearing the deafening cheers from not far away, Jiang Yimian breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought that even if Amulun woke up and was willing to let Aguzan inherit the Khan's position, he would still be wary of him."
In fact, she had heard a lot about the Tuyuhun royal family in the past few days and learned that Amulun was not very satisfied with Aguzan and had never even mentioned letting Aguzan inherit the position of Khan.
But the Khan did speak about the other princes.
After all, if they were truly satisfied, they wouldn't have let Aguzan and his mother live such a difficult life in the past.
However, it seems that the Khan is satisfied with Aguzan, at least for this moment.
Unfortunately, this satisfaction came a little late.
Lu Cijian simply gave a faint "hmm" and said nothing more.
This kind of scene of fatherly love and filial piety is not suitable for him.
Jiang Yimian was clearly aware of the problem as well. She reached out and took his hand, changing the subject with curiosity, "Then how is the effect of lightning created?"
She was initially worried that she wouldn't be able to create a lightning effect, and that the people would easily discover that Aliji wasn't killed by lightning, but by the hidden weapon she threw.
She hadn't expected the thunder to be so realistic; it startled her.
Lu Cijian just smiled, looked down at the person next to him and deliberately said, "That's a secret, it can't be revealed casually."
Jiang Yimian was taken aback and somewhat dissatisfied. Just as she was about to raise her fist to threaten the guy in front of her, she suddenly heard a respectful voice from outside, "Gentlemen, the Khan invites you to the palace for a talk."
