Wu Tai drew out his sword, and blood splattered onto his face, reflecting a ferocious and gleeful look.
"I have killed the Demon Queen with my own hands!"
"Yeah?"
Suddenly, Wu Tai felt a chill on his neck, and then he felt as if he was riding on a cloud and flew out of the Phoenix Palace in an instant.
He looked down at the green sword on his neck, then turned his head in horror to look at Lin Yuan who was holding him hostage:
"You're not dead?"
"Second Prince, I didn't expect you to hate me so much. Why?"
There was pain in Lin Yuan's voice, and it was unclear whether it was the pain from the wound or the grief in her heart.
Wu Tai laughed: "You controlled the Western Dynasty and deceived my father and us for many years. Even Wu Yiren is not my father's biological daughter. With such behavior, do you still want me to love you?"
Lin Yuan carried him to fly, and her voice was not so cold:
"I don't want to have children for Wu Zheng, just because we are only united for profit, but I know that the child is innocent, so I treat you and the eldest prince as my own."
"Especially you. I personally raised you when you were little. Are all members of the Wu family so ungrateful?"
Wu Tai sneered: "You breastfed me only because I was born at about the same time as Wu Yiren. You always fed her first and then took care of me. You thought I was still young at that time, but you didn't know that there are always loyal and righteous people in the palace. Someone told me these things a long time ago!"
Lin Yuan's voice finally turned cold: "Who is trying to sow discord?"
"Do you still want to kill people and silence them now? It's too late!"
"I have deployed heavy troops outside the West Palace. Those people from the Demon Sect should be arranged by father, right? It seems that father can't tolerate you anymore!"
"Demon Queen, you can't escape today!"
"Just you two?" Lin Yuan carried Wu Zheng and flew towards Tianwu Palace.
"Demon Queen, what do you want to do?!"
Wu Tai was startled. Lin Yuan had stepped onto the roof of Tianwu Palace in an instant. With a loud bang, she broke through the roof and fell straight down, standing in front of the dragon throne.
He looked down at Wu Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne with a shocked look on his face.
Lin Yuan sneered: "Your Majesty, you removed the palace's formation in order to kill me, but you know that this formation is not to protect me, but to protect you! Without the formation, I can kill you with just a wave of my hand!"
"Lin Yuan?! How did you escape?"
Wu Zheng was shocked, but like Wu Tai, he was caught by Lin Yuan and flew to the top of Tianwu Palace.
At this time, the Tianwu Palace was surrounded by countless Royal Guards.
Seeing that Lin Yuan had held the emperor and the second prince hostage, they were all horrified and did not dare to move for a moment.
Thousands of archers appeared above the surrounding palaces, holding in their hands were top-grade immortal artifacts, the Shooting Bows, which were specially designed to deal with Nascent Soul cultivators.
It was impossible for Lin Yuan to escape on the sword again.
Lin Yuan held the blade against Wu Zheng, grabbed Wu Tai's neck with her left hand, and said coldly:
"Your Majesty, the Western Dynasty has less than 2,000 Archery Bows in total, and you have mobilized most of them to deal with me. Aren't you afraid that the Eastern Cultivators will take advantage of the situation?"
Wu Zheng's face turned pale: "Queen, even if you kill me, you can't escape. Why don't you let me go and let the Second Emperor be your hostage? I promise to let you go!"
Wu Tai was stunned and looked at Wu Zheng in disbelief: "Father! I am your biological son!"
Wu Zheng said: "My son, the Queen has been very kind to you since you were a child, and she will definitely not kill you. Father will also be reluctant to see you die, so he will definitely let the Queen go. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"Father..."
Wu Tai turned his head to look at the bloody hole on Lin Yuan's chest. Wu Zheng was startled and his expression changed immediately:
"Did you take action today?"
Wu Tai was silent, Wu Zheng looked grim and had nothing to say.
Lin Yuan sneered: "You two, stop arguing. Both of you, follow me today."
Wu Zhengdao said: "Queen, without my order, you won't be able to get far even if you escape from the West Palace."
"Yeah?"
Lin Yuan said coldly: "Your Majesty, do you really think that the Western Dynasty is your Western Dynasty?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw countless Golden Snake Guards rushing over from below and fighting with the Royal Guards.
Many golden snake guards also appeared on the roofs of several surrounding palaces and attacked the archers holding the archery bows.
"Why did the Golden Snake Guard come back so quickly?"
Wu Zheng's face turned pale and he felt depressed.
In order to kill Lin Yuan, he made plans for several years and finally managed to quietly take control of the Imperial Guards.
He also hid it from Lin Yuan and secretly transferred a thousand archery bows from various places to the imperial city.
He even placed people among the Golden Snake Guards that Lin Yuan had personally cultivated.
He even risked the wrath of the world and colluded with the people in the Demon Sect.
I thought it was a dead end.
I didn’t expect that Lin Yuan had hidden his cultivation for so many years and was able to escape from the ambushes of Tianyun Sect and Chiyun Mountain.
Even the Golden Snake Guards came back faster than expected.
In this situation now, he has already lost most of the battle.
For a moment, Wu Zheng was so disheartened that he shouted angrily:
"Lin Yuan, I have never disobeyed you for so many years, but why do you still go out to find men?! I am the king of a country, but you play me like a fool. Today I lose, but I have ordered people to make your lewd behavior public to the world!"
"Even if I die, you will be despised by the world!"
Lin Yuan said coldly: "Wu Zheng, I have said it before, I am with you only to obey the orders of my master, I have never cared about the position of Queen of the West."
"Well, I was planning to make you abdicate today. Since you are planning to kill me, I don't need to show mercy anymore."
"What?!" Wu Zheng was shocked: "Are you planning to attack me today too?"
Lin Yuan laughed, her voice a little hoarse, not sure if it was sad or sarcastic:
"You don't know yet, do you? Your good son is also planning to attack me today. I'm afraid his target is not just me, but your throne!"
Wu Zheng was even more shocked, and looked at Wu Tai beside him in astonishment: "My emperor, is what she said true?"
Wu Tai lowered his head embarrassedly, not daring to answer.
“Haha, hahahaha!”
Wu Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, looking like a madman:
"Okay, okay, my wife treats me as a puppet, and my son is trying to seize my throne. Our family has chosen to take action today. Okay, okay, that's great, hahaha!"
Lin Yuan's eyes were cold and fierce, and she shouted towards the people below:
"In order to seize the throne, the Second Prince Wu Tai colluded with the Tianyun Sect and Chiyun Mountain and used sorcery to control Your Majesty. The eunuchs and maids around Your Majesty were all disguised as people from the Demon Sect!"
"Royal Guards, listen up! Stop the rebellion immediately! Seal off the palace, arrest the rebels, and destroy the demon sect!"
"Those who obey my orders will be pardoned of all crimes, promoted one rank, rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and one hundred spiritual essences!"
Lin Yuan's voice spread throughout the palace along with her spiritual power, also revealing her long-hidden cultivation.
Many of the imperial guards were shocked: "The queen is actually at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?!"
Lin Yuan's prestige has been accumulated over the years. Now she has taken control of the entire situation and pushed all the blame onto the second prince Wu Tai.
Below the Tianwu Palace, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided.
Several leaders of the Imperial Guards all knelt down before Lin Yuan:
"We are willing to serve the Queen!"
"Catch the rebels and kill the demons!"
At that moment, countless people bowed down. Lin Yuan stood on the top of Tianwu Hall, with the majesty of the phoenix crown, unparalleled in the world!
"Haha, everyone is here, great..."
Suddenly, a charming and eerie voice sounded.
A charming figure came slowly from a distance, twisting her waist, her whole body exuding charm, but her enchanting eyes revealed an extremely cold murderous intent.
"How dare you break into the palace?!"
A golden snake guard shouted at her. The woman stopped laughing and looked up at Lin Yuan on the top of Tianwu Hall. Red light flashed in her eyes:
"I am Si Minglan, the daughter of the great general Si Yuanwu. I have come here today to... massacre everyone in the West Palace!"
