Long Tang Empire, Imperial Palace.

The originally magnificent hall now looked lifeless and desolate.

Tang Yuan sat upright on the dragon throne, his body shaking all the time, his old eyes red, filled with boundless anger and pain.

Under the main hall.

Yao Zhan, deputy leader of the Huguo Sect, Hong Dinglei, leader of the Giant Sword Sect and national master, the Azure Dragon Guards, the White Tiger Guards, the Black Tortoise Guards, and Qiu Yulong, leader of the Six Gates, all knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Asshole!"

After accumulating anger for a long time, Tang Yuan suddenly flew into a rage. He stood up while slapping the dragon throne with a ferocious look on his face.

In just half a day, three shocking events happened in the Long Tang Empire.

The little princess was kidnapped in public.

The prince's whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is unknown.

The dragon's bloodline was cut off.

This does not even include the killing of Bai Shaxing and the disappearance of Zhuque and other Long Tang imperial guards.

All these combined can be regarded as the biggest event since the founding of Long Tang.

It can even be said.

In the entire imperial history of the Long Tang Empire, no event had caused a greater sensation than these events.

Because this means that someone has declared an all-out war against the Long Tang Empire.

Their target is directly aimed at the imperial power of Long Tang, and their methods of action are extremely arrogant and presumptuous.

Until this moment.

Tang Yuan was already very clear that the previous bombing of Lingjian Villa and the series of events today were all done by the same opponent.

only……

This opponent's methods are too strange and covert.

Even his "Six Gates", which claimed to be ranked among the top three in intelligence capabilities in the entire continent, failed to find any clues.

This is simply unbelievable!

"Even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you must find the mastermind behind these events for me!"

The veins on Tang Yuan's forehead were exposed and his eyes were as red as an angry beast.

"I will give you half a month. If you can't do it, you will all come to see me with your heads raised!"

The people below were all trembling with fear after hearing this.

It is extremely difficult to dig out such a powerful mastermind in just half a month.

Just when everyone was in a panic, a shocking news exploded in the hall.

"Holy Lord, we found the remains of the prince's jade pendant in the royal gardens. We can conclude that he has..."

Tie Shou, the chief constable of the Six Gates who was in charge of surveying the royal gardens, walked in with a look of horror on his face.

He discovered that the entire royal garden had been burned down by fire, and no human remains were found at the scene.

The only thing that could be found was the prince's burnt jade pendant.

"Already what?" Tang Yuan asked, trying to suppress his excitement.

Tie Shou knelt down in fear and replied, "Already... dead."

Snap!

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuan suddenly fell down on the dragon throne. In an instant, his face turned pale and tears streamed down his face.

Although he had expected this, he did not expect that Crown Prince Tang Chengqian would actually be killed.

"You guys... are so cruel!" Tang Yuan murmured through gritted teeth.

He suddenly stood up from the dragon chair again, revealing boundless majesty and said:

"Immediately block the news of the Crown Prince's murder. The Princess and the Queen must not know about it!"

"In addition, summon General Long Fei back to the palace and hire Xingkongzhou Prefecture's top intelligence officer at a high price to assist in investigating the mastermind behind this."

"From today onwards, all cultivators above the Star Realm in the Huguo Sect and the Giant Sword Sect will obey the orders of the Four Directions Divine Guards."

"Also, immediately send people to the Purple Gold Holy Land and the White Deer Academy to ask for their help!"

Tang Yuan had a strong premonition that a storm was about to come.

He must make adequate preparations before the big earthquake comes.

He has enough confidence.

With the help of General Long Fei, Bailu Academy and Zijin Holy Land, no one can shake the imperial power of Long Tang.

What he had to do now was to prepare for defense.

Then find the mastermind behind the incident and cut them into pieces to vent your hatred.

"By the way, where is Lin Yue?"

Tang Yuan suddenly thought of Lin Yue, the key figure.

He clearly remembered that it was at his instruction yesterday that the prince invited Lin Yue to visit the royal gardens.

According to the report from Qiu Yulong, the leader of the Six Gates, Zhuge Jingyun, the founder of the Tiansha Pavilion, suddenly appeared and assassinated Lin Yue.

It was because Lin Yue disregarded his own safety and helped the prince and the princess to escape that they were able to escape.

Now the entire royal garden has been destroyed. Could it be that Lin Yue has also met with an accident?

Tie Shou quickly replied, "My Lord, I have sent someone to inquire about this. Master Lin was seriously injured after the battle with Zhuge Jingyun. After bidding farewell to the princess, he returned to the East Emperor Kingdom."

"This..." Tang Yuan couldn't help but look helpless after hearing this.

He felt that Lin Yue was unwilling to stay in Long Tang to recuperate because he had some opinion about him.

After all, it was he who asked the prince to invite Lin Yue to visit.

Otherwise, he would not have been ambushed and injured by Zhuge Jingyun.

"Forget it. He is willing to see Xian'er, which means he doesn't blame Xian'er in his heart."

Tang Yuan muttered to himself and turned to look at his golden dragon throne.

"Grandpa, I will live up to your trust and will hold Long Tang tightly in my hands."

Tang Yuan swore that he would never let his great grandfather see him fail.

After finishing his report, Tie Shou left the hall.

This time, all his words were conveyed to him by Nangong Hanyue through Su Lingfei.

Before leaving the Long Tang Empire, in order not to arouse Tang Yuan's suspicion, Lin Yue pretended to be injured and said goodbye to Tang Xian'er.

Therefore, the excuses that Nangong Hanyue prepared for Tie Shou can be said to be reasonable.

"The Pavilion Master is indeed a scheming genius. With her help, and the help of the God-killing Sword Master, this Long Tang Empire..."

"Not for long."

Tie Shou sighed secretly.

…

Zizhu Palace of Donghuang Kingdom.

The breeze is blowing.

The faint scent of grass and trees in the purple bamboo forest, mixed with Nangong Hanyue's body fragrance, floated in the courtyard, refreshing the heart.

Lin Yue was invited here and saw from a distance Nangong Hanyue sitting on the viewing loft feeding the ornamental fish below.

Looking from below, the sunlight shone on her body, shining with a faint luster.

Her arms, as slender as lotus roots, were dazzlingly white and exquisite, like a masterpiece of a craftsman.

Arriving at the attic, Nangong Hanyue quickly put down the small golden bowl in her hand.

He stood up and looked at Lin Yue, with smiles and admiration in his eyes.

"You are my lucky star."

Nangong Hanyue couldn't help but say.

This time, the operation of cutting the dragon vein and killing the prince was completed in one go, which greatly surprised Nangong Hanyue.

She dared to say with certainty that without Lin Yue's help, the plan would be delayed at least half a year.

Moreover, it will definitely not be as smooth as it is now.

For the first time, Lin Yue felt that the villain's wife was in a really good mood, and joked, "Am I not your destined lover?"

"whispering sound."

Nangong Hanyue felt that she was already very crazy, but this guy was even crazier and particularly bold.

He always said things that teased me intentionally or unintentionally, and he looked so arrogant that people wanted to slap him.

However, this time Nangong Hanyue had to admit that Lin Yue was really amazing.

With him around, everything will go exceptionally smoothly.

After inviting Lin Yue to sit down, Nangong Hanyue poured him tea again.

Lin Yue took a sip of tea and said, "In addition to severing the dragon vein and killing the prince, this operation also yielded two other gains."

“Oh?” Nangong Hanyue showed a surprised look, “Then I’m all ears.”
