Forbidden City, the imperial palace.
Endless darkness enveloped the entire palace. The palaces that were usually brightly lit were now completely dark.
"Sikong Xun, you are not dead?"
In the East Palace, Di Hai looked at Sikong Xun and the three black-robed men behind him with a grim face.
At his feet lay a corpse in a black robe.
Obviously, this corpse is one of the killers of Shura Palace.
"Grandmaster in the middle stage, no wonder the assassination failed."
Feeling the aura emanating from Di Hai, Sikong Xun waved to the three black-robed men behind him.
"Shura Slash."
A black figure flashed, and a long sword appeared in Di Hai's eyes, slashing towards his forehead fiercely.
"Nine Dragons Body Protection Technique!"
A surge of spiritual energy erupted, and nine dragon-shaped true qi emerged, protecting Di Hai.
"clang!"
A metallic collision sound was heard, and the black-robed man's attack was easily blocked by Di Hai.
"trouble!"
Looking at Di Hai fighting with the three men in black robes, Sikong Xun frowned slightly and began to gather his spiritual power quietly.
Damn, where did the people from the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard go?
With such a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, they should have sent people over long ago.
While resisting the joint attack of the three Shura Palace assassins, Di Hai was thinking about how to escape.
In his opinion, the imperial guards were secretly transferred away, and the Jinyiwei and Dongchang people disappeared without a trace. This was obviously a carefully planned assassination against him.
However, he didn't know which prince was responsible for the assassination.
Wait, if Sikong Xun hadn't died...
"Sikong Xun, tell Emperor Yi that I no longer want the position of Crown Prince."
"Not only that, after my father dies, I will support him to take the throne. I only ask that he spare my life for the sake of our brotherhood."
With one palm, Di Hai pushed back the three black-robed men who were approaching him, and then turned his attention to Sikong Xun.
"Too much nonsense!"
A terrifying spiritual power burst out, and a long-accumulated sword energy slashed out, covering the three killers from Di Hai and Shura Palace.
"Sikong Xun, are you crazy?!"
Feeling the deadly threat coming from their bodies, the faces of the three Shura Palace killers under their black robes suddenly turned ugly.
"Blood Escape!"
Without hesitation, he bit his tongue, and the three assassins from Shura Palace instantly turned into a blood mist and disappeared in the palace.
"asshole!"
Looking at the terrifying sword energy coming straight towards him, Di Hai's face turned pale instantly.
He had originally wanted to use the three men in black robes to help him resist the sword energy, so that he could successfully escape from the battlefield and escape the assassination.
But he didn't expect that the three men in black robes could actually perform the art of escape.
My life is over!
The terrifying sword energy pierced through Di Hai's body, and Di Hai was instantly split into two halves.
"The palace has been cleaned up, you can start now."
Looking up at Jiang Yunfan who had arrived at the East Palace at some point, Sikong Xun said expressionlessly.
"I'm not here to spy on you. I'm just worried about your safety."
Jiang Yunfan curled his lips slightly at Sikong Xun, took out a whistle from his arms and started blowing it.
“Chiu!”
A sharp voice sounded, and figures that had been waiting for a long time continued to emerge from the darkness and ran towards their target direction.
"alright!"
"Your mission has been completed. Come with me to meet the Young Sect Master."
Listening to the sounds coming from all around, Jiang Yunfan put the whistle back into his arms and looked at Sikong Xun.
"The soul restriction is extremely complex. I advise you not to hold out any hope."
Sikong Xun looked at Jiang Yunfan with a complicated expression and shook his head slightly.
Sikong Xun did not have any hope of removing the soul restriction.
After all, when Emperor Shitian was about to plant a soul restriction on him, Di Yi told him that once the soul restriction was planted, there would be no possibility of removing it.
"Sikong Xun, you have indeed betrayed the Palace Master."
A long knife pierced through Sikong Xun's heart, and a figure covered in a black robe suddenly appeared behind Sikong Xun.
"asshole!"
The sudden change made Jiang Yunfan, who had a relaxed expression, instantly angry, and powerful spiritual power began to surge in his body.
"Cloud Slash!"
The figure suddenly flashed, and a whip-like kick carrying terrifying spiritual power kicked towards the man in black robe.
“Puff!”
The long knife was pulled out, and a stream of blood immediately spurted out from the blade.
Immediately afterwards, the man in black robe flashed and disappeared directly into the East Palace.
"Damn it!"
The series of actions of the man in black robe made Jiang Yunfan, who was about to kick him, suddenly stiffen and retract the spiritual power in his feet.
"My heart is broken. What a cruel method!"
Jiang Yunfan reached out to check Sikong Xun's condition, and his pupils shrank slightly.
This killer didn't even give Sikong Xun a chance to leave a last word.
"Young Master!"
Not far from the gate of the Forbidden City, Chen Junsheng suddenly appeared and saluted Emperor Jiu, who was carefully observing the Blood Sea Formation.
"Um!"
Turning his head to look at Chen Junsheng, who looked the same as when he left, Di Jiu nodded slightly and continued to focus his gaze on the Blood Sea Formation.
"Damn it."
"The location of this blood sea formation is too far away from the imperial palace, and it is unable to absorb the blood energy in the palace into the formation."
Inside the blood sea formation, Emperor Yi's face looked a little heavy under his black robe.
