After the news spread, all sorts of powerful figures arrived, their target the War King's Mansion. Some wanted to kill the War King, while others hoped to take advantage of the chaos to obtain something from the mansion. Meanwhile, the nearby residents seemed to sense the danger and all stayed indoors before nightfall.
Inside the palace, the emperor stared anxiously at the documents in his hands, his mind far from at peace. He kept glancing towards the main entrance, eventually putting the documents down altogether.
Why……
He let out a long breath, and then heard the voice of the little eunuch outside.
"Your Majesty, Consort Liu requests an audience!"
"No, send her back! I won't see anyone tonight." The Emperor waved his hand dismissively, then, as if remembering something, called back the little eunuch at the door: "Little Dongzi!"
The little creature, Qu'er, rushed in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, is there anything else you wish to do?"
"Send someone to secretly go and take a look at the Empress's palace." The Emperor frowned deeply.
"Yes!" Xiao Dongzi acknowledged the order and turned around. He saw Eunuch Lu hurriedly enter the house and then said, "No need to go. Go and report back to Consort Liu first!"
The Emperor waved his hand and eagerly replied, "How is the situation at the Prince of Zhan's residence?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, our men have been lying in ambush outside the Prince's residence. Uncle Long has also returned, and another group of the War King's men are waiting inside. This servant clearly saw that several groups of people went in, and not long after, the bodies were thrown out. Your Majesty, please be at ease!" Eunuch Lu had gathered all the information before returning. He wiped the sweat from his brow and swallowed hard; it was clear he had rushed here.
Seeing that Eunuch Lu was panting, the Emperor ordered, "Drink some water, drink some water and continue."
"Sigh..." Eunuch Lu nodded, poured himself a large glass of water, drank it down, and then continued, "Your Majesty, the Empress has left the palace. You would never guess who she is with."
"Who?" the emperor asked, full of curiosity.
"A master alchemist! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe," said Eunuch Lu, his face full of astonishment.
What a brilliant move!
The Empress is truly remarkable; she actually has such a powerful expert behind her. No wonder the Master of Skills made those demands that day; it turns out there was an traitor within the Empress.
snort!
He slammed his hand in anger, and the table cracked and fell apart.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter needs to be considered carefully." Eunuch Lu carefully advised the Emperor. Normally, everyone would want to recruit a master like Sai Miaoshou.
However, once he got involved with the Empress, things became much more complicated. He slowly sat down, his mind filled with memories of the past, and then said fiercely, "Tomorrow morning, go to the Prince of Zhan's residence and check on Zhan'er's condition. Also, take those two alchemists who went to the palace today with you and see if they can help."
"Yes!" Eunuch Lu said firmly, but he knew in his heart that the people the Emperor had invited were probably not as capable as that Mr. Bu Yu.
...
In the first half of the night, almost all of the dozens of people who came in were wiped out. Mei'er followed the cold indifference, realizing for the first time that killing could be so enjoyable.
She was initially full of confidence, but her expression immediately turned sour when she saw this group of people coming in.
"Miss Mei, these are assassins, and they may be poisoned. Don't go up here." Leng Mo dared not let Miss Mei take the risk. If anything went wrong, he was afraid that Yun He would skin him alive.
"No, now that we're here, we can't back down. Besides, I have some pills that Master gave me. By the way, if I take this, most poisons won't be a problem." Mei'er handed Leng Mo a pill. It was given to her by Master before they came out. There were three pills in total, and she had just taken one.
"Thank you, Miss Mei'er!" Leng Mo swallowed the pill without ceremony and led Mei'er to attack a few lone survivors.
Inside the stone cave on the back mountain, Xuan Mingye roared furiously, like a cheetah in the night, each roar shaking the ground.
Qian Youxue and Bu Yu's combined strength wasn't enough, and with the help of Yun He and Wuya, they barely managed to pin the person down on the stone bed. Before they could even catch their breath, Xuan Mingye's body erupted with violence for the second time. This time, not only was his strength greater, but his spiritual power was also much more abundant than before.
"How could this happen?" He was unaware of the terrifying nature of this mutation.
Qian Youxue was caught off guard and was kicked away by Xuan Mingye. Her body crashed into the stone wall, and the pain made her eyes red.
"Master, how are you?" Yunhe called out, but dared not let go.
Cough cough...
Qian Youxue coughed twice and shook her head, feeling that the air in the room was much thinner, and most importantly, it was a few degrees colder.
Looking into his fiery red eyes, he seemed completely unconscious and didn't recognize them at all. If he were to become a wild horse now, the entire Prince's mansion would likely suffer.
At this moment, Long Bo, who had just finished his work, appeared at the door of the house. Seeing Xuan Mingye's appearance, he walked over with concern, made a hand gesture in mid-air, and then used his spiritual power to suppress the violent aura on Xuan Mingye's body.
call……
Bu Yu was finally able to catch his breath, but he still dared not relax. He looked at Uncle Long and said, "Please continue, Uncle Long. I'll give him a few acupuncture needles."
"I'll do it!" Qian Youxue came over after regaining her composure.
He nodded and stepped aside to watch intently.
Qian Youxue was skilled at inserting needles, infusing each needle with a certain amount of spiritual energy. When inserting the sixth needle, she felt a severe depletion of spiritual energy, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.
Seeing this, he walked behind her, raised his hand, placed his palm on her back, and channeled his inner energy into her body.
Feeling the pure true energy, Qian Youxue felt slightly less uncomfortable, but sweat continued to drip down her face, and each subsequent needle prick was slower than the last.
This acupuncture technique is truly treacherous; the more you want a better effect, the more spiritual energy you need to use. To master this technique, one must raise their spiritual energy cultivation to a certain level. After the last needle was inserted, she was so exhausted that she gasped for breath.
"Yunhe, help the princess to the side and help her recover. I think these symptoms will flare up at least twice more." Bu Yu looked at the calmed Ye with a worried expression. Each time was a deadly torment. Who knows how long this torment will last?
Long Bo withdrew his power, patted Bu Yu, and said, "Kid, you've really had a tough time these past few years."
"Uncle Long, you're making me sound like an outsider. I don't like hearing that, so I won't be giving you any good wine next time." Bu Yu rolled her eyes at Uncle Long, feigning anger, to show her extreme dissatisfaction.
Hahaha……
Longbo was not angry but amused. He pointed at Buyu and said, "You brat, you always know how to hit my weak spot. I won't say anything more, but you can't skimp on the wine."
