Jiang He's self-destruction also attracted the attention of some of the people who were fighting.

They never expected that, so soon after the battle began, two Grandmaster would die together.

Moreover, those who died were Grandmaster of the direct line of the Great Qian Imperial Family and Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect, neither of whom were ordinary figures.

However, even so, it did not affect their continued efforts with full concentration.

After all, in battle, the slightest mistake could lead to the same fate as those two—being smashed to pieces.

Standing atop the palace walls, Jiang Lan watched with eyes blazing with fury and a ferocious expression.

Although the battlefield was quite a distance from the palace, Jiang Lan could still see everything clearly.

At the same time, he was filled with regret. Why did he so easily break ties with the three sects?

It should be noted that his father endured nearly a century of suppression from the three sects.

This was so that the royal family could accumulate more power so that they could eventually rebel against the three dynasties.

But now I can't even endure such a short time?

If we lose today, the entire Great Qian royal family will likely be wiped out.

Jiang He was the second most powerful direct descendant of the royal family, second only to his great-uncle Zongquan.

The direct descendants of the Great Qian Imperial Family are dying out, and there has always been a mastermind behind the scenes plotting to harm members of the royal family.

As for who committed these heinous acts, he didn't need to investigate; he already knew the answer.

Because he had experienced it before, but he had performed rather mediocrely back then, which is why he escaped unscathed.

However, several of his older and younger brothers were not so lucky.

This has always been a pain in his heart. Ever since he learned that his great-uncle Zongquan Peak Grandmaster, he had thought of resisting the oppression of the three sects.

However, he never expected that his slight resistance would result in such a fierce attack.

Wei Jin looked at Jiang Lan with a worried expression. He hadn't expected the situation to change so quickly.

He had previously thought that he could try to negotiate first, and at the very least, the two Peak Grandmaster of the royal family should be able to hold them off.

However, they did not realize that the three sects had already sent so many Grandmaster into Sky City.

Moreover, the Eunuch Bureau had not yet discovered that the three sects were actually gathering those martial artists.

Since the Imperial City Bureau began to decline, the Inner Imperial City Bureau Eunuch Bureau gradually took over a large part of its functions.

The surveillance of warriors in Sky City falls within the responsibilities of the Eunuch Bureau.

The Imperial City Bureau gradually became an assistant to the Eunuch Bureau.

However, he focused most of his attention on monitoring the situation outside Yunzhou.

The large number of personnel sent out has led to a severe shortage of manpower within Tian Province.

In fact, this only proves from another perspective that the entire Great Qian Dynasty is short of manpower everywhere.

This is the result of the three clans suppressing the Great Qian Imperial Family for so many years.

In fact, this outcome was foreseeable after Tianwu Emperor decided to establish the Martial Prohibition Hall and relocate the imperial city.

If the Great Qian Imperial City were still in Qian City, it would still be operating under the noses of the Three Sects.

Those three sects probably won't go to such lengths to suppress the Great Qian Imperial Family.

But Tianwu Emperor's actions clearly indicate a desire to rebel against the Three Sects. Can the Three Sects really let this go?

If the Great Qian Imperial Family were to rise to power, the first force they would want to eliminate would be the Three Sects.

Therefore, whenever the Great Qian Imperial Family showed signs of resistance, the three sects would spare no effort to suppress them.

Moreover, without the full cooperation of the Imperial City Bureau, how easy would it be to monitor such a vast Sky City as the Imperial Eunuch Bureau with its limited manpower?

However, it's no use talking about these things now; the urgent issue is how to deal with the current situation.

Judging from the actions of the three emperors today, they must have been prepared in advance and probably will not accept the royal family's reconciliation.

If that's the case, then I need to prepare for the worst.

Looking at Jiang Lan beside him, Wei Jin secretly made up his mind.

If things were truly beyond saving, he would risk punishment to take the emperor away.

Only by staying alive can one have the possibility of making a comeback.

Jiang Zongquan was completely unaware of Jiang He's self-destruction and was still carefully dealing with Duanmu Haotian's attacks.

Of course, the chaotic nature of the battle at the scene also played a role.

Jiang Liu sensed the aura of the deaths of two Grandmaster and took the opportunity to launch an Ice Blade at Dao Fan Shangren.

Unfortunately, it was directly withstood by Dao Fan Shangren and dissipated without exerting any effect.

Jiang Liu had no choice but to continue waiting for an opportunity, working with Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, and Fire-Winged Monkey Dao Fan Shangren and prevent him from supporting Jiang Zongquan.

After fighting for so long, Jiang Liu realized that Dao Fan Shangren's strength was not that great.

Rather, it was his various talisman attacks that appeared and disappeared unpredictably.

Not only are the attack methods of those talismans incredibly diverse, but the effects of each attack are also different, making them somewhat difficult to defend against.

This is the main reason why he has been able to hold on until now despite the combined attacks of two Peak Grandmaster, Jiang Liu, and the Fire-Winged Monkey.

Furthermore, they could occasionally provide Jiang Zongquan with a talisman.

However, this also puzzled Jiang Liu. Could it be that only Peak Grandmaster could achieve instantaneous and effortless casting of this technique?

Or is it because the Grandmaster's spiritual power cannot reach that level?

Jiang Liu knew that the Daoist sect was also quite skilled in cultivating spiritual power.

Because all the talismans that are formed can be controlled by mental power.

Therefore, the power of these talismans is directly related to the strength of one's spiritual power.

Jiang Liu felt as if he had found a weakness in the Daoist techniques.

However, given how long the battle has lasted, it's likely that neither Flowing Cloud Matriarch nor Gongsun Haoyue intended to kill Dao Fan Shangren.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful Dao Fan Shangren's talismans are, could they repeatedly stop the two of them from attacking together?

They must have their own agendas. Perhaps they want to wait for Duanmu Haotian to fight Jiang Zongquan head-on, and then make their own plans after they have determined the winner.

Jiang Liu didn't quite understand their scheming and intrigue, but that didn't stop him from occasionally delivering an Ice Blade to Dao Fan Shangren, followed by another blow to Jiang Zongquan.

It's good to make them occasionally flustered; that's the reason why Flowing Cloud Matriarch had Jiang Liu assist in the attack.

The Fire-Winged Monkey was launching a fierce attack from the side, not thinking much about anything else. It kept swinging its stick and smashing it at Dao Fan Shangren.

The main threat facing Dao Fan Shangren now comes from the attacks of the Fire-Winged Monkey.

Dao Fan Shangren also found it the most difficult to deal with the Fire-Winged Monkey 'Fire-Winged Monkey attacks, as he had to cast at least two talismans in succession to stop them.

This gradually put Dao Fan Shangren in a difficult situation, while the Fire-Winged Monkey seemed to have found its rhythm for attack.

Its attacks have gradually gained power, and this power is growing stronger, as if it is gathering strength.

Jiang Liu watched as the Fire-Winged Monkey attacked for so long without its breathing becoming disordered, and he gained a new understanding of the Fire-Winged Monkey's combat strength.

Seeing that Dao Fan Shangren was gradually becoming overwhelmed, Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Gongsun Haoyue, who were standing to the side, also began to intensify their attacks.
