When the drums sounded in the central square, a loud bang was heard in the Jinhai Pavilion Restaurant.

The light shield of the formation finally collapsed.

"The trap has been broken!"

The eyes of many assassins in Mingge lit up, and then they fell to the ground exhausted.

Obviously, everyone's condition at the moment is not very good.

After a whole night of high-intensity consumption, the spiritual energy in their bodies was almost exhausted, as if they were exhausted.

This was undoubtedly the calculation of the eldest prince Yan Peng.

Although the trap could be broken, in the end, everyone's combat power was reduced by half, and they would pose no threat even if they rushed to the palace to provide support.

"Those who can still move, let's go!"

Dark Eagle frowned slightly and glanced at everyone fiercely.

After saying that, he and the other two team leaders, Long Jiu and Feng Ming, rushed to the wall of the corridor without delay and quickly opened the entrance to the secret passage.

However, almost all the members of the Underworld Pavilion present chose to stay.

In this regard, the three team leaders did not give any mandatory orders.

They knew in their hearts that given these people's current condition, even if they insisted on going along, they probably wouldn't be able to play much of a role, and might even become a burden.

However, at this time, a figure followed.

This person is Lin Hao.

"If you are tired, don't force yourself."

Dark Eagle noticed Lin Hao following behind him out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The implication of his words does not seem to be concern.

After all, Lin Hao's cultivation is the weakest, and the others wisely chose to stay, but this guy still wanted to fight to the death.

This is no different from committing suicide.

"Jing Ke, please stay."

Zi Ye, as a partner, also gave advice.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Lin Hao was calm and said calmly.

He had been slacking off when everyone was attacking the formation before, so he was naturally full of energy at this moment.

Of course, he couldn't say this openly.

Besides, his real power does not come from himself, but from a group of system pets.

"Okay, if you can survive, I'll credit you for your contribution!"

Team leader Dark Hawk didn't say much nonsense.

After saying that, he moved and rushed directly into the entrance of the passage.

Feng Ming and Long Jiu looked at Lin Liang strangely, then turned and entered the passage.

Lin Hao looked indifferent.

If you are still alive, I will credit you for your achievement.

It sounded as if he was going to die.

In this regard, Lin Hao did not have the time to argue with them. He took a step forward and followed the three team leaders of Ming Ge into the entrance of the underground passage.

Thus, there were only four members dispatched from the Underworld Pavilion this time.

In the dim passage, Lin Hao performed the Dragon Step and used the Wind State of Mind. He moved swiftly and followed behind at a leisurely pace.

Finding that Lin Hao showed no signs of falling behind, the three team leaders in front nodded secretly, indicating their approval of Lin Hao.

After all, after a whole night of consumption, he still has some energy left, which is already very easy for a level six warrior.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…!!

When reaching the end of the passage, a strange sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded.

"There's a hidden arrow!"

Lin Hao and others were startled.

But in this environment, they have no way to avoid it.

At this moment, powerful spiritual energy surged out from Dark Eagle's body, and the black sickle in his hand chopped violently.

Swish——!

A sharp blade light suddenly shot out.

All the arrows that were shot were cut off and successfully blocked.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

However, soon, another batch of hidden arrows whistled in from the depths of the passage!

Buzz!

At this time, Feng Ming, the leader of the Cloud Group, had already engraved a fire rune with a flashing red light.

boom--!

In an instant, raging flames gushed out, not only blocking the hidden arrows, but also instantly illuminating the entire passage.

Lin Hao and his companions took a closer look and immediately discovered that there were a large number of archers lurking deep in the passage.

Looking at the uniform armor they are wearing, they are all guards of the imperial palace!

It is not difficult to see that this group of guards had obviously been lying in ambush here.

"If you don't want to die, go back!"

A threatening voice was heard from deep in the secret passage.

"I want to see who wants to die!"

Faced with the intimidation from a group of minions, the three team leaders sneered.

whoosh!

Immediately, they rushed out like three nimble cheetahs.

Aaaaaahhh!!!

For a while, shrill screams continued to ring out.

Faced with the attacks of three top assassins, the battle was like a massacre.

Lin Hao didn't even have the chance to attack. When he reacted, the more than one hundred guards who were blocking him in front were wiped out.

Lin Hao was secretly shocked by the brutal killing method.

"Walk!"

After killing all the enemies, the three team leaders did not stop at all and continued to move quickly towards the end of the passage, completely ignoring Lin Hao who was following behind.

…

At this time, on the high platform in the central square.

As the ninety-six drum beats sounded, the figure of King Yan, accompanied by many palace guards and maids, began to appear in everyone's sight.

This king is now over 70 years old. Although he was very powerful when he was young, he is now a sickly old man.

For today's celebration, old King Yan specially wore a gorgeous royal robe and a golden crown on his head. The surface was inlaid with a circle of diamonds, which sparkled brightly in the sun and was extremely eye-catching.

He walked very slowly, with his languid steps fully revealing his increasingly aged body.

That wrinkled face was filled with dignity.

A pair of eyes, half open and half closed, flashed with a hint of brilliance.

This power of the Emperor, which had been accumulated for many years, made all the people present, as well as the officials and generals, bow their heads and shout in respect:

"Welcome to His Majesty the Flame King!"

Then, King Yan, supported by two maids, slowly walked to the golden dragon throne on the high platform.

At this location, which is the highest point of the platform, you can overlook everything in the central square.

Looking down at the power that belongs to him alone!

Go down one step and there are five seats in total.

The chair at the front is golden in color and shaped like a dragon throne, but it is smaller in size.

Everyone knows that this position is that of the crown prince.

It has been vacant ever since the crown prince suddenly died five years ago.

Even so, no one dared to move it easily and it has been kept here ever since.

Because, without the order of King Yan, who would dare to move?

As for the other seats, they are the exclusive seats for the four princes in the court so far.

But at this time, the eldest prince Yan Peng, the second prince Yan Fengjun, and the fourth prince Yan Chen.

So far, they have not attended.

There was only a thin figure sitting quietly.

This person is undoubtedly the third prince Yan Hongyi.

Due to his poor health, he did not attend the military review with the eldest prince and others during this celebration.

Yan Hongyi had a calm expression on his face, looking at the scene without any fluctuations in his eyes.

That expression seemed to show that he didn't care at all about today's celebration.

The officials and eunuchs on the platform never even looked at him.

In their view, this mediocre and incompetent third prince would probably have become a beggar if he had not been lucky enough to be born into an imperial family.

Little did he know that he was the real mastermind behind the mutiny that was about to be launched!
