After capturing the two men, he used the princess as leverage, ensuring that even if Helian Ci and Wenren Yu joined forces, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. He simply didn't believe that the two men would dare to disregard the princess's safety.
Then, the news will be released that the Emperor has died in battle on the frontier, signaling the large number of troops gathered outside the city to storm in and suppress the disobedient officials.
At that time, no matter how much they disagree, they will have to willingly kneel and bow three times and five times to support Yi'er's ascension to the throne as the new emperor.
Thinking of all this, Nan Hong's heart trembled with excitement. Just a few steps away, the world of Bei Yin would belong to the Nan family.
There is nothing to fear from Xiling and Nanli. The unification of the world is within our grasp. We really have to thank Helian Nie for all the years he has done for the Nan family!
The sounds of clashing swords and fighting echoed incessantly. Protected by Helian You, Helian Si was enveloped in the stench of blood that gradually filled the air and reached his nostrils.
Helian Si, however, seemed oblivious, looking past the flashing swords at Nan Hong, whose face beamed with triumph. The words "certain death" echoed in his mind.
His heart trembled uncontrollably, his fingers trembled beneath the sleeves of his brocade robe, and a bewitching red light appeared on his forehead, appearing and disappearing, extremely eerie under the bright blue sky.
Helian Yi had been watching the two closely, his gentle, jade-like face tense. The words "Stop!" were stuck in his throat, almost escaping his lips, but suddenly, his dark eyes caught the unusual look on Helian Si's forehead, and he stiffened slightly.
"stop!"
But it was too late.
A bewitching red light suddenly appeared, blasting away the hordes of guards who had surrounded them. They were sent flying in parabolic arcs, crashing heavily to the ground, coughing up blood and dying with their eyes wide open.
A streak of silver light arrived silently, landing not far from them. Nan Rong's stunning silver eyes fell upon the bewitching red light, and her well-defined fingers beneath her cloak trembled slightly.
The deity's expression was indescribable, a mixture of the joy of a long-awaited reunion and the trembling, uneasy fear of facing the unforgivable betrayal of an old friend.
After thousands of years, Ah Sheng.
Beneath the eerie and bewitching red light, a crimson red spider lily mark appeared on Helian Si's forehead, and her long, blood-red dress flowed gracefully over her.
A golden crown binds her three thousand black hairs, which flow freely. Beneath her dark eyebrows, her beautiful peach blossom eyes are like clear springs. When she looks at you, there is no apparent emotion, yet a chilling aura pervades her.
Helian Yi and Nan Hong watched in disbelief as Helian Si changed. The former, with his gentle demeanor, was filled with astonishment, while Helian Si's dark eyes widened in shock.
The latter froze, his face contorted in terror, watching as Helian Si stumbled back several steps, screaming in horror.
"Monster, monster, monster!"
Helian Si frowned slightly, and in an instant, she was in front of Nan Hong, her hand gripping Nan Hong's throat, lifting her into the air.
Tell me, where my father is trapped.
"Cough cough cough, witch, witch, I, release me! Yi'er, quick, kill this witch, quick!"
Nan Hong's face had turned purple, her eyes widened and she rolled her eyes back, looking at Helian Si in front of her with both shock and fear, and cried out to Helian Yi for help.
Helian You and his group of Imperial Shadow Guards remained motionless, still in the same positions they had just been in when fighting the horde of guards, watching the scene unfold before them.
It all felt like a dream. What was going on?
Helian Youxing stared straight at Helian Si, his handsome face showing a complex expression. He gripped his sword tightly. What's wrong with my sister?
Before Helian You could figure it out, Nan Hong's furious roar, his eyes blazing with fury, rang in his ears, and his dazed starry eyes instantly turned cold.
In a leap, the gleaming sword was already at Helian Yi's neck, and the warning and killing intent in Helian Yi's eyes were self-evident.
