Storming the Imperial Palace at Night, Murdering the Princes
At the entrance to the Imperial Palace, shouts of battle echoed continuously.
Inside the Imperial Palace, the sound of clashing blades echoed incessantly.
But soon, the sounds of clashing within the Imperial Palace gradually faded away, while the shouts of battle at the entrance grew clearer and clearer.
Crimson blood flowed slowly on the Bluestone ground.
With a bang.
The Imperial Palace gates were violently smashed open.
The Defense Clan members were the first to rush into the Imperial Palace, followed closely by the Speed Clan members and Tang San and his group.
Upon seeing the situation clearly, those who rushed into the Imperial Palace involuntarily stopped in their tracks.
Hundreds of Imperial Guard lay dead on the ground ahead, their crimson blood flowing freely. Among the corpses were two figures dressed in Royal Attire: the First Prince Xue Qinghe and the Second Prince Xue Luochuan.
"Holy shit..."
Looking at the scene before him, Tang San cursed inwardly, immediately realizing that something was wrong.
Just as Tang San was about to order a retreat, the sound of orderly footsteps mixed with the galloping of Warhorse reached his ears.
Armored and armed troops charged out from both sides, blocking the retreat. The leader, clad in armor and wielding a long spear, sat astride his Warhorse, silently surveying the situation before him.
"Tang Sect..."
"Prince Star Luo Empire..."
"Night Raid on the Imperial Palace to murder the prince!"
"Take them down! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
The Imperial Guard Commander raised his spear and pointed it at the Tang Sect group.
Having blocked their retreat, the army, upon hearing the command of the Imperial Guard Commander, immediately launched a fearless attack on the Tang Sect group.
"Wait, this wasn't done by us..."
Seeing the approaching army, Tang San was about to explain when he was interrupted by the Imperial Guard Commander of the Imperial Guards.
"You didn't do it?"
"Then why did your Tang Sect Night Raid on the Imperial Palace?"
Why did the First Prince and the Second Prince die?
"Why is the prince of the Star Luo Empire here? Do you think I don't recognize the White Tiger Martial Soul inherited by the Star Luo Imperial Family?"
The Imperial Guard Commander spurred his Warhorse, brandishing his spear, and charged towards the Tang Sect group with the rest of the army.
Hearing the question from the Imperial Guard Commander, Tang San suddenly felt like he was swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his grievances.
Although the Tang Sect was not responsible for the murders of Xue Qinghe and Xue Luochuan, they could not simply surrender under the current circumstances. Therefore, before Tang San could give the order, the members of the Defense Clan and Strength Clan launched a counterattack.
The Imperial Guard Army is numerous, but as an army composed of ordinary people, its combat strength is far inferior to that of hundreds of Soul Masters.
In a single exchange, the Defense Soul Master, led by the Defense Clan, broke through the army's formation.
They seemed poised to break free of the army's encirclement.
The Imperial Guard Commander who charged forward with the army was knocked off his Warhorse by Niu Gao's punch and flew backward.
But just as Niu Gao was about to lead his men out of the Imperial Guards' encirclement, dozens of azure Arrows flew from mid-air.
The first Arrows struck Niu Gao, who was directly in the path, and immediately exploded. The powerful impact sent Niu Gao, sliding dozens of meters through the air before crashing to the ground.
The remaining Arrows, upon contact with the other disciples of the Defense Clan, exploded, and those with lower Soul Power were reduced to blood mist that splattered on the ground.
Although he was slightly Soul Power and didn't die, he was thrown into the air by the explosion and lost his ability to fight.
"I heard someone Night Raid on the Imperial Palace, what's the situation now?"
Bai Wanwan's figure appeared in mid-air, walking down step by step, her azure eyes looking at the Imperial Guard Commander had fallen to the ground.
"Your Highness Canglan!"
Seeing Bai Wanwan slowly approaching, the Imperial Guard Commander rose from the ground, bowed, and said, "The Tang Sect Rebellion, Night Raid on the Imperial Palace, and plotted to murder the prince..."
The Imperial Guard Commander quickly recounted the events in a concise manner.
Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan feigned surprise, but the surprise in her eyes quickly turned into coldness.
"Rebellion?"
"To plot against a prince, the Tang Sect Clan really has some nerve."
"Assist the Imperial Guards in capturing the Tang Sect members."
Bai Wanwan landed on the eaves of a Palace and waved gently.
From one side of the Imperial Palace, hundreds of figures emerged, led by Ling Yuan, flanked by Lor Diarra, Meng Shu, and several other Soul Douluo.
When Ling Yuan and the others joined the battle, their first task was to stop the defensive line that was about to be breached. Only then did they assist the Imperial Guards in launching an attack on the Tang Sect group.
With Ling Yuan and the others joining the battlefield, the situation changed in an instant.
It wasn't a one-sided massacre.
They completely overwhelmed the Tang Sect Clan in every aspect.
The light emitted by the Soul Skill burst forth continuously under the night sky, the sound of clashing blades was incessant, and blossoms of blood bloomed in mid-air.
Bai Wanwan sat down on the eaves, her gaze quietly fixed on the situation in the battle.
An unexpected bonus?
"Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong?"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members were dragged in too."
Bai Wanwan's gaze was fixed on Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. Her fingertips twitched slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
It's visible below.
A dazzling golden light emanated from Liu Erlong, Flender, and Yu Xiaogang.
"The Sun Moon Shining Golden Turn."
The three murmured to themselves.
Luo Sanpao, who was originally standing at Yu Xiaogang's feet, floated up. The Spirit Ring on Liu Erlong, Flender, and Yu Xiaogang landed on Luo Sanpao, causing golden light to appear on his body.
Amidst the light, a colossal dragon, its body covered in thick golden scales and radiating an aura of majesty, emerged.
The moment the dragon appeared, a powerful energy surge spread outwards.
A golden beam of light shot out from the dragon's mouth, striking the Ling Yuan directly in front of it.
"Triple Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Ling Yuan murmured to herself, slowly raising one hand to meet the incoming golden beam of light.
The moment the beam of light collided with the palm, energy ripples spread wildly, causing Ling Yuan's robes to sway incessantly, but Ling Yuan's figure remained standing in place, without moving an inch.
"Decent attack power."
But that's all.
After blocking the incoming golden light, Ling Yuan quickly moved towards the golden dragon.
Eighth Soul Skill: Blood Boiling!
Ling Yuan reached out and grasped a feather. The instant she grasped the feather, countless flames rained down from mid-air, crashing towards the golden dragon.
On the other side...
Tang San reached out and helped the Bai He, which had fallen to the ground, to its feet.
"To catch the thief, first catch the king."
"Senior, could you go and win her over?"
"That way we'll have a way to get back."
As Tang San spoke, he pointed to where Bai Wanwan was.
